I Loved You……

After the last post of Thursday (Regarding Hieroglyphics), I was quite happy as I was going to my hometown day after tomorrow to be with my sweet family. Recently my company declared 2nd and 4th Saturdays as holidays hence I got three continue offs which was like a celebration for me after the hectic work load. However, as usual I was not able to book my ticket for the trip due to my unplanned working pattern. Fortunately at the last moment I got reservation in the bus of a travel agency. 

The bus was like the  Dhanno (Horse cart) of Basanti (Remember Shole?). The co passengers were also Basanti type, I mean continuous speaking, quarreling. The great chaos like “Subjimandi” or “Machhibazar”. I thought before reaching home I will either be mad or have a heart attack. I put the ear phones of my mobile and started listening some nice songs. All of a sudden I put on the FM radio of the mobile and to my great surprise the signals were loud and clear. That time I was on the highway where normally no radio signals shall be received. And further the song playing was my favorite “My heart.. go on.. – Titanic”. 

This incident pulled me towards the past and I was surrounded by the remembrances of my girlfriend (may be EX – girlfriend !!!) with whom the memories of this song were attached. Everything around stopped and I lost. Song finished with wet eyes. I found that  the emotions were taking a shape in mind and I started putting them down on paper. Finally, it has taken a shape of a poem but still lots of the VOCAB and grammatical  corrections were required.

After reaching home I again worked on the same and finally I was able to wrote down my very first poem and I wanted to share the same with you my dear friends. Please don’t go through the words or other mistakes  instead go through the emotions. And ya, give your honest comments on the same.

I Loved You…

One day, I realized out of the blue

I found lots reasons for choosing YOU;

Gradually had couple of grounds for staying,

Merely with YOU was worth everything;

Thousand precious moments I found,

Certainly proved our love had abound;

The reason why with YOU I was enjoying,

Coz’ each moments with YOU were worth keeping.

Great struggles and pains fly with a mere kiss,

That’s why with each other we found genuine bliss;

Simple things together were the best things,

Especially the lovely and sweet nothings;

I could never afford to lose you BABE.

I even wished that goodbyes you would never bade;

I knew that tomorrow is quite unsure,

However, I’d keep and hold you at all measure.

Until this very day,

I don’t want you astray,

Hope that you will always stay,

Simply because I love you,

I truly do.

Hieroglyphics – Sacred Carving

Hi pals.. a few days back, I was interacting with some Egyptian  Executives. We were discussing about the recent news of the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC), the nearly monopolist electricity company of Egypt, requires around 1500 MW of projects every year. Out of this as per the Egyptian Government, around 145 MW of projects every year should be from renewable energy such as Wind, Solar etc.

After finishing our conversation regarding the energy projects I have asked them about Hieroglyphics, the word I have read in History subject during my school days. Meaning of Hieroglyphics is “Sacred Carving”. It was the ancient formal written language of Egypt. This is the same language which was written on the Pyramids and Sphinks and other ancient Egyptian structures.

They were quite happy by hearing this word from me as it was a very holistic language for Egyptians. They given me lots of interesting and useful information of the language and also sent me a mail which was showing the meaning of each alphabets of Hieroglyphics in English. I have posted it here to share with you guys.

The written Egyptian language, hieroglyphics, is made up of three types of symbols. Alphabetic signs correspond to a letter or sound produced by that sign. Syllabic symbols stand for sounds produced by a group of letters, a syllable. Determinative signs relate to a specific object or idea, such as man, woman, and water. Hieroglyphics can be read from left to right, right to left, or top to bottom. The direction depends on the direction the symbols are facing.

Below is the flash file, sent by the Egyptian executives, which shows the alphabets of Egyptian language and their English Counterpart.

After reading this stuff, you must be eager to know that How your or your loved one’s name will look like in Hieroglyphics Language. Below is the link where you can enter your name in English and find out how your name will be written in Hieroglyphics. My name in Hieroglyphics is:

China’s Border Violations – Trade Politics?

 

 

Last night when I came from Office, I was tired like anything. As per the policy of my office, work load comes un-noticed that too in unexpected quantity. Same was happened with me on Saturday. As it was the first day of one of my favorite festivals “NAVRATRI”, I was eagerly waiting for the evening to come so that I can go to play “Dandiya”. But, due the hectic work of the day, I decided go to the next day. I came home and thought to go to sleep after dinner. However, while watching TV during dinner I seen news of recent tussle between India-China and thought to do a little research on the same. So after dinner I sat on my DELL Laptop and started searching news regarding the tussle between Dragon and Tiger. I got a lot of interesting information and decided to put on the blog to share with you guys.

 

India and China, as they say the two rising super powers of Asia Pacific Region. Together accounting for 2.5 billion people, China and India are today the engines of growth in the midst of rapid economic transformation in the global economy. In fact, driven by India and China, the emerging Asian economies are no longer witnessing a slump, as per a report by the UK financial services major Barclays. According to most of the economists, in the fight with the recent recession, India and China played a major role.

Comparing the India and China, both the countries are superior to each other in certain things. Hence, being two major economies of a continent and being neighbors, they compete each other in the remaining things.

India is currently a IT Super Power in world. Also, India has overtaken China in Auto Exports. There are numbers of other things where India is growing rapidly to overtake China.

Among the most encouraging recent developments in India China Economy and India-China ties is the rapid increase in bilateral trade. A few years ago, India Inc had a fear of being swamped by Chinese imports. Today, India enjoys a positive balance of trade with China.In 2004, India's total trade to China crossed US $13.6 billion, with Indian exports to China touching $ 7677.43 million and imports from china at US $ 5926.67 million. But major industry players in India feel there is no need to give the Chinese a free ride into the domestic market so early. This is particularly, when India and China have been directly competing across several product categories. And that too, when both the applied and bound import tariffs are higher in India compared with China. Indian industry's ambivalence over the proposed Indo-China FTA stems from concerns over previous FTAs signed by the government. There's a feeling that some of these FTAs were signed in haste, and without adequate homework. Result: There has been confusion about the country of origin issue as well as the items to be put in the early harvest lists.

India and China are gearing up for a showdown, one that might go all the way to the World Trade Organization, over India's increasing reluctance to allow Chinese imports to flood the Indian market. The seemingly incongruous export item that raised hackles this time around? Chinese plastic toys, which have captured anywhere between 60% and 90% of its $2.5 billion toy market, depending on whose numbers you trust. On Jan. 23 the Indian government imposed a six-month ban on the imports of Chinese-made toys.

Toys may be just the beginning. Officials in India's Ministry of Trade confirm the Indian government has been collecting data and passing them to Chinese counterparts in several sectors where New Delhi plans either to ban or restrict Chinese imports. Whether India proceeds with such restrictions depends in part on its success at the WTO dispute settlement hearing that China threatens against the toy ban. India already has 10 anti-dumping investigations under way into Chinese-made products as varied as penicillin, steel used for car manufacturing, and even linen.

In retaliation, on Feb. 4 the official Chinese government newspaper, the China Daily, reported that Beijing is considering appealing to the World Trade Organization to overturn the measure as an unfair trade restriction.As being superior in military power, China also tried to pressure India by doing border violations. The Indian Army recorded 270 border violations and nearly 2,300 cases of “aggressive border patrolling” by Chinese soldiers last year.

China is also trying to abase India using its trading powers. Earlier this year, it has tried to block a $2.9 billion dollar Asian Development Bank (ADB) loan to India. It said part of the loan was intended for water projects in Arunachal Pradesh, which includes Tawang, an area which the Communist nation says is disputed. Also, China, in May 2007, refused to grant visa to an IAS officer from Arunachal Pradesh.

India has publicly said that it is committed to improving infrastructure along its border with China in order to help its armed forces. Could the Chinese be warning India not to go any further and give a comfortable passage to enter in domestic market?

Friends give your honest comments on the same…….
