Habis dari RS Meilia

Maaf udah rada lama nggak ngeblog, karena hari Jum'at panas, tapi sekarang udah nggak kok, cuman kalo sekarang batuk batuk dan agak pilek.

Jadi hari Jum'at panas; nggak enak banget, jalan aja pusing. Trus malemnya di-check ke dokter, tapi yang di Kota Wisata aja, karena udah malem. Trus kalo di-checknya besok, nggak bisa. Papa pergi, trus Mama mau ke Jogja. Jadi di-checknya malem itu juga.
Trus kan udah di-check, dokternya sih nggak tau sakit apa, tapi dikasih obat.

Untungnya besoknya udah baikan. Agak anget sih, tapi udah nggak pusing. Trus besoknya udah sembuh deh kayaknya, soalnya main badminton aja bisa. Tapi sayangnya masih batuk batuk dan pilek kan, jadinya hari ini di-check lagi ke RS Meilia, sekalian nge-check luka/bakteri/infeksi yang ada di tangan dan kakiku. Trus Adam kan juga lagi panas, jadi sekalian di-check deh.

My Journey From Pune To Shirdi

In each semester i use to go to "Shirdi" to thank to Sai Baba,as My Semester exams are over now i decided to go Shirdi. Few of my friends Dharmendra, Mrinal, Pankaj, Sandeep also ready for dahrshan. We book aTavera and decide Friday night to go. Our vechile came sharp at 11:30pm and we started by 12:00am.

Though i go to temple in every semester but still i haven't seen tha"Aarti". Last time i reached before 4:30 Am, Still stand in Row and did not get a chance. But this time as it could be my last chance i was hoping to get that honour. While going It was quite dark and not able to see out side and also was feeling sleepy.
Near 3:45Am We reached there and directly went for que as we had already taken bath in the room. There is also facility that you can pay and take bath in some hotels there. Still It was not enough, when we were in the first but aarati was started. Again i had to see on the T.V Screen. But still there was a hope, After half hour When Bath cerymoney was over we get a chance to enter in "Darbar" of Baba. Then Aarti started i was able joined that. Really that was one of my great experience.
While coming back we decide to go to "Shani Signapur" Which is the only temple of Lord Shani. I had listen many times that in That village There are no doors in homes and i found that true. There are few rules for Darshan. Only Men are allowed to touch the God statue, which is a black stone and for that also you have to take bath and wear red cloth provided there. You have to be wet and no female is allowed to touch you, If by chance some female touches you , it necessary to again take bath and then proceed. Females can enter in temple but they can darshan from distance.
Only i was ready to follow the procedures, none of my friends were ready to again take a bath within 12 hrs. So after taking bath i took only "Til Ka Oil", Which is mainly used for worship of lord Shani. My friends were waiting in Tavera, As you have to go bare foot and it was near 12:00pm so earth was quite hot make my feet burn so i was taking long steps. After darshan i came back changed my clothes and came back. On the way i had taken few pictures.
As my graduation is complete so i don't know when next time Baba will call me for Darshan. Hope to come soon.

KidZania

Jadi tadi aku habis ke KidZania, bareng Nadia, Adam, Prama, Dek Danar, Krisna, dan Ilham. Dianterin kesana sama Mama dan Pakde Danang. Untungnya Tante Inung udah pesenin tiket, jadi nggak usah nunggu lagi, langsung ngantri deh. Dan antriannya tuh rame banget! Dan nyebelinnya, banyak anak anak kurang berpendidikan atau dalam kata lain NGESELIN, yang langsung nyerobot aja! Huuuu dasar, maunya yang instan aja!

Pas aku masuk, ternyata beda sama yang kubayangin. Dalemnya kayaknya sih sengaja digelapin, karena kita disapa gini "Selamat
malam Bu!". Duh lucu ya, dipanggil Bu segala....

Hal pertama yang kita lakukan, adalah bikin kartu SIM. Nggak guna juga sih, cuman buat suvenir aja. Kan keren, udah punya kartu SIM hahha. Bagi yang belom pernah ke KidZania, dan berniat ke KidZania dan buat SIM di KidZania, nih ada langkah-langkahnya:
  1. Ke Hospital, trus ngantri untuk Medical Check-Up. Medical Check-Up bayar 10 Kidzos. Medical check-up disini bukan medical check-up beneran kok. Cuman ditimbang sama diukur tingginya, trus ditanyain nama, tempat tinggal, sama nomor telfon.
  2. Kalo udah medical check-up, pastikan tadi udah dikasih kertas, yang isinya nomor nomor gitu. Trus ke sekolah mengemudi atau apa gitu, aku nggak tau namanya, di deket SPBU dan dealer Honda. Disini kita harus bayar 20 Kidzos, trus kertas yang tadi dapet pas medial check-up. Nanti kita duduk bareng bareng, trus ditanyain soal-soal tentang lalu lintas. Trus satu-satu dipanggil untuk foto. Trus habis itu dibagiin dehkartu SIMnya
Trus ada tips nih dari aku:

MENDINGAN KALO UDAH MASUK, LANGSUNG KE BANK TRUS AMBIL UANG KITA DAN BIKIN KARTU ATM SEBELUM RAME!

Karena kalo bikinnya nanti, bakal rame banget.

Tadi sih aku jadi kurir/apa lah tulisannya yang disponsorin Lasegar 2 kali. Kalo disini gajinya 10 Kidzos, trus ditambah Lasegar kaleng 1, sama Lasegar sachet 2. Trus aku juga jadi kasir di Supermarket, disini gajinya 20 Kidzos. Trus aku juga jadi Petugas PLN, gajinya 15 Kidzos. Dan aku juga kerja di Pabrik Better, gajinya 5 Kidzos, trus kita juga bawa pulang Better yang tadi kita buat.

Untuk anak kecil, mungkin ini akan jadi pengalaman yang sangat seru, tapi kalo untuk yang udah gede, mungkin kurang seru. Namanya juga KIDzania. Jadi dimaksudkan untuk ANAK ANAK.

Menurutku sih ya lumayan lah.

Shree Shetra Puri,The Car Festival, Rath Yatra



One of the center of religion is Puri in Orrisa. Ratha Jatra, the Festival of Chariots of Lord Jagannatha is celebrated every year at Puri. Orissa is a land of innumerable fairs and festivals celebrated round the year but the most spectacular of them is the Rath Yatra, hitherto known as the Car Festival to western world. This chariot procession on the main streets of Ahmedabad city features a lot of colourful chariots, trucks and other vehicles. The procession commemorates the journey of lord Krishna to Mathura, leaving behind grieving Gopis. The massive procession begins at Jagdish temple in Jamalpur. The main chariots are dedicated to lord Krishna, his brother Balaram and sister Subadhra, followed by colourfully decorated elephants, trucks, motor vehicles, pilgrims on foot, acrobats and gymnasts.

Legends and Rituals:
The famous Car festival of Lord Jagannath falls on the second day of bright fortnight of the month of Ashada when the Lord with his brother and sister coming out from the 'Ratna Sinhasan' to the streets of Puri joins His devotees while visiting His birth place The Gundicha Ghar. After a stay of nine days the return journey starts for the temple.

According to legend Lord Jagannath said to have expressed His desire to visit His birthplace Gundicha Ghar once every year. According to others Subhadra wanted to visit Dwarka, her parents home therefore, her two brothers Jagannath and Balabhadra took her there on this day. According to Bhagavad Puran on this day. Krishna and Balaram went to Mathura on the invitation of Kansa to participate in the competition.

The entire Ratha Yatra is a symbolic humanisation of God. All rituals associated with the festival demonstrate an attempt to bring the God down from His pedestal of glory to a more human level. On the day of journey the three chariots the yellow coloured Nandighosa, blue coloured Taladwaja and Deviratha are lined up in front of the temple and then the deities are brought on to their respective Chariots. Once the king of Puri the living symbol of Lord Jagannath sweeps the chariots with scented water and golden broom, the pilgrims lined up with the rope pull the chariots on the Badadanda to Gundicha Ghar.

The Deities are carried to the chariots in a traditional, ceremonial way. First Sudarshan, then Balabhadra, Subhadra and Jagannath. Balabhadra and Jagannath are carried in such a way that They rock forward and backward, moving from pillow to pillow as they approach the chariots, and finally ascend the ramp leading to their seats. This rocking motion is called Pahandi. The name of Lord Jagannath's chariot is Nandighosh. It has 16 wheels, and is covered in red and yellow material. Lord Balabhadra's chariot is called Taladwaja, has 14 wheels and is covered with red and green material. The third chariot, Devadalana, belongs to Lady Subhadra. It has 12 wheels and a red and black canopy. There are four other Deities that also ride on the chariots, making a total of seven Deities in all. Lady Subhadra shares Her chariot with Sudarshan, who sits by Her side. Lord Jagannath sits with Madanmohan, who represents Lord Jagannath Himself. Lord Balabhadra is accompanied by two small, brass deities of Rama and Krshna. The chariots are pulled about three kilometers down Puri's Grand Road, from the Jagannath Temple to the Gundicha Mandir or Gundicha Ghar. If one or more chariots doesn't make it all the way, it is simply moved the following day. The fifth day of the festival is known as Hera Panchami, the day that one of Jagannath's two wives, Goddess Laxmi, goes to Gundicha Mandir to see Her husband. On the ninth day, the chariots are pulled back to the area near the Lion Gate. On the evening of the tenth day (the eleventh day of the bright fortnight of Ashadha, also Hari Sayan Ekadasi), the Deities are dresssed in golden garments adorned with golden decorations. The next day, another important ritual, Adharapana Bhog, is performed. On that day, a specially prepared sweet drink is offered to the Deities. There is a procession on the evening of the next day, wherein the Deities are taken back into the Temple. This ceremony draws a large crowd of worshippers



After the festival, the raths are broken and bits are used for firewood in the kitchens or sold to pilgrims as relics. New chariots are made each year to rigid specifications of make laid down in temple's ancient manuals. The assembled multitudes from all over India, the cacophony of music and percussion and the decorated chariots provide an unforgettable experience. Stories from ancient times, about some fanatics throwing themselves under the massive wheels of the chariots to die a death in hope of attainment of eternal bliss, abound.

Places to Visit

Without doubt, the best place to visit during this festival time is Puri, situated a few kilometers away from Bhubaneshwar, the capital of the state of Orissa. This chariot procession on the main streets of Ahmedabad city features a lot of colourful chariots, trucks and other vehicles.

How to reach there:


By Air:
Access to Puri is quite convenient and hassle free by air and the nearest airport is Biju Patnail Airport located 60 kms from Puri in Bhubaneshwar. The major domestic carriers like Indian, Jet, Sahara, and Deccan operate regular flights from New Delhi, Kolkata, Visakhapatnam, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Mumbai.

By Rail:
The railway terminus of the city offers express and super-fast train connections with New Mumbai, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Kolkata and Baidyanath Dham. Puri also has excellent rail connections with Tirupati, Okha and Ahmedabad. Puri falls under the jurisdiction of S.E. Railway.

By Road:
Road transport is equally commendable and you can reach Puri from the important cities of India. From Bhubaneshwar it is a 60 kms drive on state highway. The main bus stand is located nearby Gundicha Mandir on Grand Road and regular bus services to the nearby destinations such as Konark and Bhubaneshwar are available. The roads are well-maintained and reaching Puri by road is very convenient.

Letter for Bill Gates

Subject: Problems with my new computer

Dear Mr Bill Gates,

We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems, which I want to bring to your notice

1. There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.

2. We find there is 'Run' in the menu. We request you to change that to 'sit', so that we can click that by sitting.

3. One doubt is whether any 're-scooter' is available in system? I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at home.

4. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this ' find' button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.

5. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when you will provide that?

6. I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'My Computer'; when you will provide the remaining items?

7. It is surprising that windows says 'My Pictures' but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.

8. There is 'Microsoft Office' what about 'Microsoft Home'? since I use the PC at home only.

9. You provided 'My Recent Documents'. When you will provide 'My Past Documents'?

10. You provide 'My Network Places'. For God Sake! Please do not provide 'My Secret Places'. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.

Regards,

S.Yessica

Last one to Mr Bill Gates :

Sir, how is it that your name is Gates but you are selling WINDOWS?

Terima Rapot!

Hari Jum'at kemarin, aku terima rapot. Tapi sayangnya aku harus pulang cepet, karena mama mau pergi pas siang, aku harus pulang cepet. Karena kalo nggak pulang cepet, gak ada yang jemput.

Rapotnya sih bagus. Dan Alhamdulillah ranking 1 (Y)!

Rameswaram Temple ,Tamilnadu( Pilgrimage to Varansi Is Incomplete Without A Pilgrimage to Rameswaram)





One of the Most importan temples described in hindu culture is Rameswaram Temple in Tamilnadu. This Shivastalam is considered to be one of the holiest shrines in India. It represents the southernmost of the 12 Jyotirlingams of India and has been a time honored pilgirmage center held on par with Banaras. The island-temple town is located off of the Sethu coast of Tamilnadu (south eastern). This shrine is regarded as the 8th of the Tevara Stalams in the Pandya region of Tamilnadu Rameshwaram is significant for the Hindus as a pilgrimage to Benaras is incomplete without a pilgrimage to Rameswaram. The presiding deity here is in the form of a Linga with the name Sri Ramanatha Swamy, it also happens to be one of the twelve Jyotirlingas.

View Of the West Gopuram of Rameswaram temple
The masterpiece of South Indian architecture boasts of the largest temple corridor in India. Different rulers built the Ramanatha Swamy Temple over a period of time starting from the 12th century. The temple comprises twenty two wells where the taste of the water of each well is different from the other.
The grandest part of the temple is the 1219 m pillared corridor consisting of 3.6 m high granite pillars, richly carved and well proportioned. The perspective presented by these pillars run uninterruptedly to a length of nearly 230 m.
According to the Puranas, upon the advice of Rishis (sages), Rama along with Sita and Lakshmana, installed and worshipped the Sivalinga here to expiate the sin of Brahmahatya (killing of a Brahmin) (Ravana was a Brahmin the great grandson of Brahma).[citation needed] Rama fixed an auspicious time for the installation and sent Anjaneya to Mount Kailas to bring a lingam. As Anjaneya could not return in time, Sita herself made a linga of sand. When Anjaneya returned with a linga from Mount Kailas the rituals had been over.


Inside view of Rameswaram temple
To comfort the disappointed Anjaneya, Rama had Anjaneya’s lingam (Visvalingam) also installed by the side of Ramalinga, and ordained that rituals be performed first to the Visvalingam.
In Rameshwaram Temple, a spiritual "Mani Darshan" happens in early morning everyday. This "Mani" is made of "sphatik"[a precious stone] and in form of "Holy shivling". according to ved this is "Mani" of "sheshnag".
Sethu Karai is a place 22 km before the island of Rameshwaram from where God Ram is claimed to have built a Floating Stone Bridge Ramasethu till Rameshwaram that further continued from Dhanushkodi in Rameshwaram till Talaimannar in Sri Lanka as mentioned in the great Hindu epic Ramayana.

Worship: Six worship services are carried out each day, the first being at 5am. Special worship services are carried out every Friday.

Festivals: Rama's worship is commemorated in the month of Aani (June 15-July 15); two annual Bhrammotsavams are celebrated in Aadi and in Maasi.

Theertham (Water springs): There are 36 Theerthams in Rameswaram of which 22 are in the temple and these waters are said to possess medicinal properties. Bathing in these is considered to be of great significance. The Agni theertham refers to the ocean while the Koti theertham is located within the temple itself.

How to reach there:-
By Air:
The nearest airport is at Madurai, at a distance of 154-km. Rameshwaram is well connected by trains from all the major cities of India. State transport buses are available from the railway station to the various places in and around Rameshwaram. For local transportation taxis, auto-rickshaws, cycle-rickshaws and tongas are available. Also city bus service is available in the island.
By Train:
The railway network connects Rameshwaram to and from Chennai, Madurai, Coimbatore, Trichy and Thanjavur. The 2 km long Indira Gandhi Bridge connects the island of Rameshwaram with the mainland of Mandapam.
By Road:
Well connected by roads and bus services to all the major cities nearby, especially, Thiruvallur, Kanyakumari, Trichy, Pondicherry, Tanjore and Chennai

Shah Rukh Khan in Tax Trouble By TOI

The Bombay High Court on Thursday admitted an appeal, by the I-T department, challenging an order of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), which had ruled in the star’s favour in June 2008.
In the first of its appeals, the I-T department seeks to claim a sum of Rs 19.43 lakh from the actor, out of a total exemption of Rs 72.67 lakh for the assessment year of 1998-1999.

“The appeals for the remainder of the amount will come up for hearing in separate cases over the next few weeks,” a source in the I-T department disclosed.

Shah Rukh had declared his total income for the financial year 1998-99 as Rs 2.01 crore, the appeal filed in the HC states. Out of this, Rs 72.67 lakh was shown as earnings from international advertising and endorsements.

The aforementioned Rs 19.43 lakh was shown in his filings of that year as advance received “towards royalty” from Jeanne Arthes Perfume for fragrances named after him.

For this, SRK had sought deductions under section 80RR of the I-T Act, by claiming it to be professional receipt from a foreign source.

Section 80RR of the Income Tax Act, 1961 covers Indian residents who earn foreign currency, and are subjected to tax deductions. This category includes professionals such as film personalities, sports persons, authors and musicians. These individuals are allowed tax deductions of 75 per cent of the income received in the form of foreign currency, provided they earn it by virtue of their profession.

In this case, however – the I-T department argues – SRK earned the sum by endorsing a brand, and not in his capacity as an actor.

The Assessment Officer studying SRK’s case had concluded that “the said receipts had not been derived from the exercise of his profession – ie, acting – but from a commercial venture in which the actor had commercially exploited his brand equity, popularity and mass appeal”.

The AO therefore restricted the deduction to 5 per cent, whereas Shah Rukh had claimed a deduction (u/s 80RR) of 75 per cent.

The star had then approached the Chief of Income Tax (CIT) against the AO’s order, which – in April, 2002 – partly allowed his appeal.

Both parties then moved to the ITAT, as they were dissatisfied with the CIT’s order.

The ITAT – in June, 2008 – had partly allowed both the appeals. The department has now filed various appeals in HC against the ITAT’s order, which partly ruled in favour of the star.

The Earnings Of A Superstar

In the year 2006-07, King Khan paid Rs 18 crore in tax. The following year – in January 2008 – he paid advance taxes of Rs 27 crore till December 15, 2007, and declared his income for 2007-08 at over Rs 100 crore.

How To Loose Your Weight Tips




Now a days people are becoming health concious more and more. Becouse or thier hectic sedule one can not take care of their diet properly, result is increase in weight. Girls are more willing for thier slim shame body. Here are few tips which can be helpfull to you to controll your weight.

Tips for Success
Therefore, the best weight-management strategies are those that you can maintain for a lifetime. That's a long time, so we'll try to keep these suggestions as easy as possible!

Make it a family affair. Ask your mom or dad to lend help and support and to make dietary or lifestyle changes that will benefit the whole family, if possible. Teens who have the support of their families tend to have better results with their weight-management programs. But remember, you should all work together in a friendly and helpful way — making weight loss into a competition is a recipe for disaster!

Watch your drinks. It's amazing how many extra calories can be lurking in the sodas, juices, and other drinks that you take in every day. Simply cutting out a can of soda or one sports drink can save you 150 calories or more each day. Drink water or other sugar-free drinks to quench your thirst and stay away from sugary juices and sodas. Switching from whole to nonfat or low-fat milk is also a good idea.

Start small. Small changes are a lot easier to stick with than drastic ones. Try reducing the size of the portions you eat and giving up regular soda for a week. Once you have that down, start gradually introducing healthier foods and exercise into your life.

Stop eating when you're full. Lots of people eat when they're bored, lonely, or stressed, or keep eating long after they're full out of habit. Try to pay attention as you eat and stop when you're full. Slowing down can help because it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to recognize how much is in your stomach. Sometimes taking a break before going for seconds can keep you from eating another serving.

Avoid eating when you feel upset or bored — try to find something else to do instead (a walk around the block or a trip to the gym are good alternatives). Many people find it's helpful to keep a diary of what they eat and when. Reviewing the diary later can help them identify the emotions they have when they overeat or whether they have unhealthy habits. Your doctor or a registered dietitian can give you pointers on how to do this.

Eat less more often. Many people find that eating a couple of small snacks throughout the day helps them to make healthy choices at meals. Stick a couple of healthy snacks (carrot sticks, whole-grain pretzels, or a piece of fruit) in your backpack so that you can have one or two snacks during the day. Adding healthy snacks to your three squares and eating smaller portions when you sit down to dinner can help you to cut calories without feeling deprived.

Five a day keep the pounds away. Ditch the junk food and dig out the fruits and veggies! Five servings of fruits and veggies aren't just a good idea to help you lose weight — they'll help keep your heart and the rest of your body healthy. Other suggestions for eating well: replace white bread with whole wheat, trade your sugary sodas for water and low-fat milk, and make sure you eat a healthy breakfast. Having low-sugar, whole-grain cereal and low-fat milk with a piece of fruit is a much better idea than inhaling a donut as you run to the bus stop or eating no breakfast at all! A registered dietitian can give you lots of other snack and menu ideas.

More Tips
Avoid fad diets. It's never a good idea to trade meals for shakes or to give up a food group in the hope that you'll lose weight — we all need a variety of foods to stay healthy. Stay away from fad diets because you're still growing and need to make sure you get proper nutrients. Avoid diet pills (even the over-the-counter or herbal variety). They can be dangerous to your health; besides, there's no evidence that they help keep weight off over the long term.

Don't banish certain foods. Don't tell yourself you'll never again eat your absolutely favorite peanut butter chocolate ice cream or a bag of chips from the vending machine at school. Making these foods forbidden is sure to make you want them even more. Also, don't go fat free: You need to have some fat in your diet to stay healthy, so giving up all fatty foods all the time isn't a good idea. The key to long-term success is making healthy choices most of the time. If you want a piece of cake at a party, go for it! But munch on the carrots rather than the chips to balance it out.

Get moving. You may find that you don't need to cut calories as much as you need to get off your behind. Don't get stuck in the rut of thinking you have to play a team sport or take an aerobics class to get exercise. Try a variety of activities from hiking to cycling to dancing until you find ones you like.

Not a jock? Find other ways to fit activity into your day: walk to school, jog up and down the stairs a couple of times before your morning shower, turn off the tube and help your parents in the garden, or take a stroll past your crush's house — anything that gets you moving. Your goal should be to work up to 60 minutes of exercise every day. But everyone has to begin somewhere. It's fine to start out by simply taking a few turns around the block before bed and building up your levels of fitness gradually.

Build muscle. Muscle burns more calories than fat. So adding strength training to your exercise routine can help you reach your weight loss goals as well as give you a toned bod. And weights are not the only way to go: Try resistance bands, pilates, or push-ups to get strong. A good, well-balanced fitness routine includes aerobic workouts, strength training, and flexibility exercises.

Forgive yourself. So you were going to have one cracker with spray cheese on it and the next thing you know the can's pumping air and the box is empty? Drink some water, brush your teeth, and move on. Everyone who's ever tried to lose weight has found it challenging. When you slip up, the best idea is to get right back on track and don't look back. Avoid telling yourself that you'll get back on track tomorrow or next week or after New Year's. Start now.

Try to remember that losing weight isn't going to make you a better person — and it won't magically change your life. It's a good idea to maintain a healthy weight because it's just that: healthy.

A Village of Kerala 200 Pairs of Twins






Malappuram (Kerala), June 6 (IANS) It was a phenomenon that had gone unnoticed for several years, even by the residents. But now a village in Kerala with over 200 twins and a few more on the way is in the limelight.'None of us was aware of this phenomenon and now many have started thinking of this. There is also a new association for these twins,' said Kunju Marikar, president of the Nannambra panchayat (village council) under which comes Kodinhi village that boasts of the record.Of the 20 wards that fall under the council, Kodinhi has seven wards, each having a population of around 2,000.

'The surprising thing is that this phenomenon does not prevail in other wards of the panchayat,' Marikar added.Following the attention to the village, Pullani Bhaskaran, 51, the father of a pair of twin boys aged 16, formed the Twins and Kins Association (TAKA), exclusively for the parents and the twins. 'We have recently formed an 11-member executive committee and have begun registration of twins. So far we have zeroed in on 230 pairs of twins and we are trying to rope
in all the twins irrespective of their age. We feel the number could swell to more than 300 pairs,' said Bhaskaran, a contractor.

According to the information collected by TAKA, the 85-year-old Mohammed Haji is the oldest living twin, with his sibling having died a few years ago. The oldest living twins are 65-year-old Pathukutty and Kunji Pathukutty.The latest pair (both boys) were delivered May 6 by Ramla, 24. TAKA's inquiries have revealed a few more are on the way.

Yusuf, an autorickshaw driver, has three pairs - all girls. His wife delivered the first pair seven years ago and the third pair about three months ago.'We are happy and my wife and my two tiny girls are hale and hearty,' said a pleased Yusuf.A team consisting of G.R. Chandak from the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Hyderabad, and Kaumudi Godbole, of the Centre for Human Growth and Development, Pune, met about a dozen pairs of twins of the village last November and examined their food habits and other factors.

However, the villagers say they have not heard from the team since then.'We have not heard from them. Now what we are doing is to document the entire details of all the twins. Our preliminary findings show that among the twins, girls lead thepack. The maximum number of twins is in the age group of 5 to 15. Shortly we will come out with all the details,' said Bhaskaran.

Gramedia + 21

Kemarin kita sekeluarga pergi ke Mall Ekalokasari (kalo nggak salah namanya sih gitu) di Bogor. Jadi kita berangkat kesana sekitar jam setengah 12an, trus sampe disana sekitar jam 1 kurang 15 menit-an gitu. Trus jadinya papa langsung pesen tiket dulu, aku Nadia sama Mama ke Foodmart beli makanan dan minuman. Sebenernya nggak boleh ya bawa makanan dan minuman dari luar, tapi kalo aku sih beli beberapa makanan dari luar trus taro di tas aja.

Sayangnya, tiket nonton Star Trek untuk jam 1 tinggal tempat duduk yang di depan aja, papa kan nggak mau. Jadinya kita pesen untuk jam setengah 4. Karena masih ada 2 setengah jam lagi sebelum filmnya mulai, kita makan dulu. Makannya di lama-lamain gitu, 1 jam padahal udah selesai dari tadi-tadi. Hahaha. Trus habis itu kita ke Gramedia (YES!). Aku maunya sih beli DeathNote, tapi nggak ada yang satuan gitu, adanya yang se-pack isinya 3. Jadinya aku nggak jadi beli DeattNote. Trus aku liat buku judulnya "Diary si Bocah Tengil". Lucu deh bukunya. Tapi trus aku liat buku "George's Key To The Universe". Trus aku tertarik beli buku itu. Trus ku pikir-pikir, kayaknya "Diary si Bocah Tengil" lagi mau terkenal deh. Kalo "George's Secret Key To The Universe" kayaknya belum tentu, soalnya stock-nya aja dikit banget. Kalo "Diary si Bocah Tengil aja stock-nya ada di dua tempat dan banyak lagi. Jadinya aku beli "George's Key To The Secret Universe".

Kebetulan, Adam belum dapet buku, trus aku saranin tuh "Diary si Bocah Tengil". Dan Adam mau! Yess! Kan lumayan, bisa minjem Adam.

Habis itu kita ke 21 lagi. Trus nunggu disana. Dan untungnya Mama nyadar, kita belum ambil sedotan (kan tadi di Foodmart beli minuman yang sedotannya harus ambil di kasir). Trus Mama langsung ke bawah ngambil sedotan. Trus pas Mama dateng, kita langsung masuk deh. Kita terlambat sekitar 1 atau 2 menit sih kayaknya, tapi nggak papa lah.

Shirdi wale Sai baba(listen download sai bhajans and aarti)





Samadhi Mandir:-

Samadhi Mandir of Shri Sai Baba was actually owned by a millionaire from Nagpur, a famous Sai devotee Shreemant Gopalrao. Gopalrao wanted to keep an idol of Murlidhar here. However, Baba himself became Murlidhar and the Mandir became the Samadhi Mandir of Baba.

The Mandir is built with stones and Baba's Samadhi is built with white marble stones. A railing is built in marble around the Samadhi and is full of ornamental decorations. In front of the Samadhi are two silver pillars full of decorative designs. Just behind the Samadhi is Sai Baba's marvelous statue made of Italian marble, which shows him seated on a throne. Late Balaji Vasant made this idol.

Dwarkamai:-

Shri Sai Baba came to Shridhi with a marriage procession. He stayed at Dwarkamai till the very end of his life. Dwarkamai is situated on the right side of the entrance of Samadhi Mandir. Here he solved problems of the people, cured their sickness and worries. Before Baba's arrival in Shridhi, Dwarkamai was an old mosque in a dilapidated condition. Baba turned it into Dwarkamai and proved that God is one.

The first level of Dwarkamai has a portrait of Baba and a big stone on which Baba used to sit. This level has two rooms. One contains the chariot and the second a palkhi. Just in front of the room where the chariot is kept is a small temple. A saffron flag flies over it.
The second level of Dwarkamai has a square stool made of stone, which Baba used for taking a bath. The main attraction of this place is the oil painting of Shri Sai Baba sitting in a carved wooden shrine. This level also has the grinding stone and the wooden vessel called Kolamba in which Baba used to keep the Bhiksha brought from the village.

Gurusthan:-

Sai Baba first came to Shridhi in the form of Bal Yogi - a child ascetic. He was first spotted seated under a Neem tree. This place came to be known as Gurusthan. The renovation of Gurusthan was made on 30th September 1941. The present temple was built after this period. There is a small shrine in Gurusthan. On a elevated platform of this shrine a big portrait of Baba is placed. On the side is a marble statue of Baba. In front of the portrait are a Shivling and the Nandi. Photos of twelve Jyotirlingas are kept in the temple. The branches of the Neem tree have come out through the roof of the temple.
At a short distance lies Baba's CHAVADI. Baba used to sleep here every alternate day. The Chavadi is divided into two parts. One part of the Chavadi has a large portrait of Baba along with a wooden bed and a white chair belonging to him.There is a cottage of Abdul Baba, an ardent devotee of Shri Sai Baba, in front of the Chavadi. Abdul Baba looked after the Lendi Baug. There are photos and various things, which were handled by Sai Baba and Abdul Baba in the cottage.

Lendi Baug:-

At some distance from Gurusthan there is the Lendi Baug. This Baug was made and watered daily by Baba himself. It got its name from a Nalla (a drain), which used to previously flow there. Baba used to come here every morning and afternoon and take rest under a Neem tree. Baba dug a pit, 2 feet deep, under the Neem tree and kept a Deep lit in that pit. One octangular Deepgriha called Nanda Deep has been built in marble stone in memory of this place. It constantly burns in a glass box. On one side of the Deepgriha is a Peepal tree and on the other side is a Neem tree.

Some distance away is a Datta Mandir below an Audumbar tree. In the Mandir there is a statue of Datta built in marble stone. The statue of Datta was installed on 6th December 1976. Just behind the Datta Mandir is a Samadhi of the horse, Shyamsundar which belonged to Baba and which used to bow to him.

Khandoba Mandir:-

This temple is situated on the main road. In front of this temple Baba was welcomed by Poojari Mhalsapati, of this temple, saying "Aao Sai", when Baba stepped in Shridi. In this temple there are icons of Khandoba, Banai and Mhalsai.
