INDIAN VOODOO

If you have feeling victimized, if someone as been making your life miserable by politicking against you than their bad aura has pierced into you. When this happens and you dont do something about it , you begin to feel worse and worse as a result and soon you will descend in a spiral of feeling miserable and sorry for yourself.
It is vital that you do not allow yourself to get into a downward spiral of misery. Otherwise the situation will succeed in pulling you down.
THERE IS ONE EXCELLENT WAY TO DEAL WITH THE SITUATION.
Get 2 ripe and juicy Indian lemon fruits (Lemon of the middle of Portugal will be very suitable too) It is best to pluck them directly from the plant if you have one. Bring them home and do not wash them. Hold one in each palm of you hand and roll them in your palm while thinking " ALL THE BAD VIBES, GOSSIP AND BAD INTENTIONS OF THIS PERSON (if you know her/his name say it silently to yourself) IS FLOWING INTO THE LEMON. KEEP RUBBING THE LEMON IN THE PALM OF YOUR HANDS FOR ABOUT 10 MIN. THEN GO TO GANGA (Mondego will do too) AND THROW BOTH LEMONS OVER YOUR RIGHT AND LEFT SHOULDER INTO THE DRAIN OF THE RIVER AND DO NOT LOOK BACK.
JUST THINK THAT YOU HAVE REMOVED ALL BAD AURA, BAD LUCK AND BAD INTENTIONS FROM YOUR BODY AND MIND. RETURN HOME AND HAVE A SALT BATH.
You will find that whoever who has been given you a hard time will cease to have any more effect on you.
THE LIME IS BELIEVED TO HAVE THE POWER TO DRAW OUT ALL NEGATIVE ENERGIES FROM YOU

EMPLOYMENT & EDUCATION

HINDUSTAN TIMES quoted :
India’s middle class is expected to grow from 5% in 2005 to 41% by 2025...

* An average Indian spends double of what he could in 1985; in the next 20 years, he will be able to spend four times what he does now
* India is the 12th largest consumer market in the world, but will move up to the 5th spot by 2025, behind only US, Japan, China and Britain.

These are the expectations but the actual truth does not look so promising , it is even alarming.

The the following the actual figures:
EMPLOYMENT- About 41% of the Indians are employed wuth 43% in rural areas and 35% in urban areas (normally we are used to see these figures from the other side .... this is an unemployment of approx 60% .... amazingly high)
- In rural Indai, more than half of those employed are self-employed. (that means they are farmers, that means they will loose there jobs soon as soon as tractors and other harvesting machines will come to application ). In urban area it is 43 %
- Avarage salary (I assume it is on daily base)
Rural Man Rs 138, woman Rs 87
Urban Man 205, woman 158
- Unemployment was highest among educated youth : 12% in rural and 16% inn urban India
- Higher education means more unemployment. The rate is lower among those with educational level of middle and primary school (this is completly cobntroverse to the situation has we are dealing with in Europe and shows the low degree of automation and tools coming to use)




EDUCATION
- Literacy rate is 66% for males and 47 for females in rural areas. In urban areas the rates increases to 82% and 70% respectivly
- About 38% of the population in urban India and 32 % in rural India have dropped out of school.

BIRD FLUE & MEASURES

Hindustan times qouted today "there seems to be no stopping of the bird flu (in W- Bengal)" and each day the bird flu can get spread all over India, but the state governement is still struggeling to deal with the outbreak. Also the culling of birds in Bengal is interrupted by attacks of farmers against the personnel involved in the culling operations and small riots. In any case in Delhi and Haryana the local governement behaves as if Bengal is on the other side of the planet and even today I could see the chicken stapled along the road and killed at the sidewalk.The killing and is done on the red table on the left.

NAZARE

Since I am not all the time in India ... my favorite picture from Nazare in Portugal

TOURIST WARNING -GURGAON WANTS TO KILL YOU II

One of the advantages of a new founded city as Gurgaon (proudly called the Millenium City) is the acces to foothpaths and sidewalks, but unfortunately that is also the danger. During daytime the situation is not dramatic, but during night time and power cuts (and that is 30% of the time) these obstacles can kill you and nobody will take care.
A special danger are the high voltage power distributors, mounted on wooden panels, fuses omitted just by simple wires and reachable from the sidewalk , in the absolute dark of a power cut a killer !!!

WHAT HAPPENED

Is now a long time without post and I was asked why ... the reason is very simple, if I am not in India I cannot blog about India, additionally working for a company with 2 sales meetings in one month and then after all I moved from Gurgaon Ambiance Island to Shasant Lok phase 2. In an area I always think if I continue this long Golf drive road, I will fall from the big clif into another world. Is really a pitty now having had the noise of the building machines and mixing trucks ( the big drums being hidden by a forehammer to remove the rest of collimated cement makes a very alarming sound at 4 in the mourning)for 3 years and finally having had the opportunity for great shopping and easy meals I was sent to this exile. But I will survive. The cold showers in the morning, will just make me stronger. Unfortunately, my drive for yoga excercises seems to be strongly dependent on the ambient temperature and since in this room temperatures are close to 15 ( for the western , here is no central heating) the excercises went to minimum.
Fortunately this place in Shashant Lok also has advantages it take 7 km walk to go the the Gurgaon malls , that keep me young.
