CONTROVERSY: INDIAN IDOL 2


Sandeep Acharya from Bikaner is the second Indian Idol !! Almost all judges and the hosts were predicting a Karunya win but Sandeep?s ever smiling presence and lovable personality along with his singing talent helped him become the Indian Idol. Karunya from Hyderabad is regarded as the better singer by most of the judges. The fact that he is from South India where not many people watch Hindi programs could have been one major factor in this win.

Everyone feels that Karunya should have been the next indian idol. Then if they had such a feeling why didn't they vote for Karunya.I too gave 30 votes for Karunya. Anyway I was just chatting with my friend about this fact that Karunya should have been the next Indian Idol. My friend excalimed that he was happy with Sandeep being the next indian idol. I wondered how he gave such a reply while he was supporting for Karunya all these days. He said that there is no connection between being an indian idol and being a singer. Indian idol is just for the sake of money whereas a true singer is for fame and love. Just by sending a few votes isn't the criteria for choosing a good singer. A true singer is the one who brings out the emotions who reaches the public heart.

I agreed with my friend.

So what do you feel about this..........give your poll in the sidebar.



Newton's Laws Broken!

Newton's Laws Broken!
Scientists have found a molecule that can spin freely in liquid, clearing out water like a person swinging suitcases would clear a crowded room.

The molecule spins without causing friction [Video]. That shouldn't be possible, according to a chemical physics theory. The finding could alter the way scientists think about chemical reactions in liquids.

Researchers hit a drop of iodine cyanide and water with pulses from an ultraviolet laser, exciting one type of molecule to reconfigure into a small, peanut shape with a carbon atom on one end, a nitrogen atom on the other.

The molecule heated up to 8,000 degrees Fahrenheit (4,427 Celsius) and started spinning at a furious 270 trillion rotations per minute.

Within the first quarter-turn, the molecule created a shock wave that kicked away surrounding water molecules. The peanut molecule created a nearly frictionless zone for itself in the 10-trillionths of a second the reaction lasted.

"If you give it enough spin, it pushes all the guys around it away, and it builds itself a little bubble," said study coauthor Stephen Bradforth of the University of Southern California. "It's destroyed the friction in the liquid around it by completely reshaping its environment."

After the molecule completed about 10 rotations, the shock dwindled and the water molecules rushed back in.

Despite its fleeting nature, the reaction managed to smash the linear response theory, a chemistry model that states such a thing can't happen in a liquid environment.

"You can see molecules behave this way in gases, but not in liquids," said study coauthor Richard Stratt, a chemical theorist at Brown University.

Breaking other laws

The molecule's activity also runs against Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action there is an equal, but opposite, reaction. In the new experiment, there water molecules are displaced, but they don't in turn do anything to the peanut molecule.

Friction is important in chemistry. Molecules rub, grind, and bang against each other they generate heat that speeds up reactions. Friction in gas reactions is reduced due to the relatively far distances between molecules, but the close proximity of molecules in liquid form makes friction nearly unavoidable.

Although the discovery has no immediate practical use, it changes the way scientists think about the 90 percent of all chemical reactions that take place in liquid, Bradforth said. One potential use could be to manipulate reactions by isolating molecules from their surroundings and reducing the production of useless byproducts.

CONTROVERSY: IIT-JEE (NEW PATTERN)

CONTROVERSY: IIT-JEE (NEW PATTERN)

This year 3-lakh students appeared for iit jee exam, the exam which is considered as one of the most mind-boggling exams around the globe. This number is 1.02-lakh more than that of last year. Over 3-lakh students will battle out for just 4935 seats across 7 iit's. The jee examination is to be held across 116 centres in India.

Ironically the reason for increase in this huge competition is the change in pattern, the pattern reduced to relieve stress among the students. instead of two-phase examination conducted till 2005, the iit-jee has been a single day's test consisting of three papers namely physics chemistry and mathematics, each of two hours. The requirements for appearing this examination is 60% or above marks in H.S.C. examination .

Another change is that there will be 3 marks for correct answer and there will be 0.33 negative-marking for every wrong answer. the candidate will be given only two attempts to crack the examination.

The students this year were not at all active. Any Tom Dick and Harry would appear the exam just to test their luck or with the impression that the paper would be very easy to crack.

Thats all about jee-2006 .................listen to the further story..................just scroll down and don't forget to give your poll and also dont forget to leave your comments.




CONTROVERSY: FAKE ATTEMPT

CONTROVERSY: FAKE ATTEMPT

Listen to this....Smita M. walked out of the joint entrance exam with a smile on her face. No, she hadn't been confident that she would cracked iit-jee....but just because she made some money just by getting the iit-jee paper out for the coaching classes to publish and for private circulation. There were many students like Smita who did not even breathe the word iit but had just attempted to make money. Even a few young faculty member's did the same.

It was very simple, the chosen candidate had to go to the examination hall, and with the reason for toilet or something else slip out of the class with the Q-paper and never return back again. this was done so because the iit's didn't allow the Q-paper's with the new pattern to get out in view.

Many of the coaching-classes had published the question paper on their respective websites.

Give your poll and comments and keep visiting for more CONTROVERSIES.............

What do you say about this?


Does God Exist?
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists." "Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine loving God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist." How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!" "No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist!" answered the barber." What happens is, people do not come to me. "Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

Now are you convinced that god exists? So next time you are face any obstacle immediately first think of god. Call him from the bottom of your heart and the feeling of danger and loneliness would disappear. You will feel more confident and would tack the situation gracefully. Keep waiting for my next post. And don?t forget to leave your comments.
