Our Love = 1 trillion..... ?????

By : Unknown


Hello there,

I have a question, rattling around my mind, and yes its been sometime.

Does love really have a price??, Its strange, isn't it?, if someone asks your what is the price you would pay to get the love of your life. If it would have been this way then the richest people were to have love easily and the poor one, No Chance.

So how does it really go??, Can we buy or rent love from someone??, Lets take an example of a relationship wherein what you do and what makes the relation better is ultimately weighed in terms of money.

People would say my relation is worth 2 million and many more to come :D, just like the way they do now when they describe their property or business.

Strange isn't it, quoting a price for our own beloved relations. Imagine what a mother might say when they would talk about the relation with their children. would it be a million or billion or even more than that. lets think about this for a moment...

Never-mind, even i don't want to get into that mindset. Its just a thought of mine as it seems awkward when some people talks like this, unknown of the reason why, but how little they know of what is in stake. (Their true feelings, heart touching memories, even if that someone is not necessarily talking about due to any circumstances),  i would pay it to just conserve it and then never utter a word beyond that.

Thinking gives a lot to seek, seeking makes it possible.....


Wake up- Darjeeling! Its high time now

By : Unknown
                                    

Hello everyone!

Hope everyone is doing good!, today i was just going through the old memories those were captured onto my phones storage, i noticed that the place where i was those days was heaven compared to all others that i have been to. I wonder why my mind is stick to a thought as to why do people from places like these come all the way to somewhere they have to strive hard to make a living?

Ohh yes, the photos which i am talking about was taken at my very own hometown "Darjeeling". People from all around the world come to visit this place just to experience the nature's touch. They enjoy, sing, dance, and sleep under the clear skies, and the rainy nights to get the feeling of what they don't get when they are at home. But ironic it is, to know that around 50% of the young generation leave this place and work at other places (metro cities) just to make sure that they grow in terms of finances and learning, but what makes them do that?

Lack of Employement: The education standards of our hill area is much better then what i have seen elsewhere, people are much more talented then what we find in the rest of the places, but besides all these what stops the generation to get a fastrack push onto the upcoming growth of our town. Thinking a lot about it, one of the point which hits my mind is Unemployment. Think of all those talent which right now is scattered all around the globe, creating new ideas, innovations, and much more. Imagine a person from Darjeeling, moving out of his house and getting hired in some company located in a metro city, works all day and night just to make a living. (His qualities being utilized by an unknown group of people, making no worth to him).

If we had sufficient work options and openings in our hills, then every son or daughter who is actually running various organisation and companies would be working together to the betterment of the queen of the hills, then the face of our town would have been totally different.

This is something that people needs to speak out about. Its understandable that we being "Gorkhas" are really brave in terms of fights and wars but "trust me" when it comes to tactical workmanship we are not at all amateurs.

"Please help me place this note as a way to make "high profile people of Darjeeling to understand the criticality of the current situation and do something for it, it its not for us, but for the coming generations."

Learning Macros in excel!!!!!...I say "Piece of Cake"

By : Unknown



Hellos Guys,

Yes you saw it write, Macros basic to learn is just a piece of cake if we understand the concept of it.

Let me put it this way: Have you ever recorded a video in a mobile or any camera, I bet you have....same thing applies in Macros (for beginners), so without wasting much of your time lemme explain it how.

When we open our excel the first view of it seems very confusing due to the boxes which spreads all across the screen. We can see various tabs in the top line among which few are "Home", "Insert", "Page Layout", "Formula", "Data", etc etc..

Now in order to start the lesson lets go to the tab named as ""View".

 Now, once you click on it, the other step is to click on the dropdown button named  as "Macros". This is placed in the extreme right end of the screen.
Now, as shown above you need to click on the "Record Macro" button to start recording the sequence which you want to use it time and again just by clicking a button.

This time lets start with the simplest of the sequence, lets say you want to automate an action (making the selected cell red in colour).

Once you click on the Record Macro button, it will ask you to name the macro before proceeding further to record. Lets name it as (makemered), as the name of the macro doesn't allow any spaces in between.

Now just click on "OK".

Be careful now, everything you do now is being recorded. So, lets just go and change the colour of the selected cell to Red. (do nothing else).

Once done with that, go back to the "View" tab and click the macro dropdown and select "Stop Recording"

Now comes the interesting part: Select any shape from the "Insert" and give it your own look and feel. As shown below and also write something that urges you to click it time and again.
Now right click in the shape that you have selected and click on "Assign Macro" button. Once you do that a pop up box asks you for which macro is to be assigned with the shape. Just select the macro that you want to assign with the shape and then click on "OK".

Now comes the Magical Moment: Select any cell or a group of cell and then click in the shape that you have assigned the macro to, and see what happens.

Hope you liked it!!!!!.

If you face any issues or have any queries regarding it please mention in the comment box below,,,will definitely try and solve it out for you.....

Enjoy Learning :) 

Lets excel the Excel- Start the basics

By : Unknown


Hello Guys,

Today lets discuss something worthwhile, beyond the random publishes and all the stories that i come up with, I have a point that just clicked my mind. Now a days in offices we have people working with computers and most extensively MS Office tools, among the tools one of the most challenging tools for all is MS Excel. So thought of just sharing some tips on it... its not that i know it all but then just trying to share whatever i  know.

Starting with the very basic of the formulas:

How to add up a list of number together in one cell: 

Lets see how we can just add two or more number using a formula:



Now go to the cell where you want to get the sum of the desired set of numbers and type the formula "=sum("range")"

In the above case the range is from (A1:A4). Hence, the formula after you have entered might look like "(=sum(A1:A4)", after that just hit the enter button, and there is your result.

Lets see how it, looks like.


Quick tip: Shortcut for Summing up a list of number is : "ALT + H + U + S" (just see the magic :)

Try getting into these thing for a while and if you face any problems you can post your queries in the comment box. "Lets excel the excel"



To my Sweet past!

By : Unknown


This day,  this moment, I just cant resist thinking about the sweetest moments of my past. Knowing that even if I try it to the most it just cant be relived. Just a few time back, how little i knew about what was the value of what is lost today.

Thinking about the days when we actually were happy and used to laugh out loud, gathering a moment filled with happiness and joy. Ohh man... those were some days which could never be forgotten. Though its my past and i need to move on to where my present leads me however i still cherish each and every moment we had spent.

Those drives, those treats in the Chinese Van, occasions created out of nothing, and lot more. This post is for all those people who actually miss what they used to do together and, yes ofcourse for those who still do it, as they just might not be able to understand the value of it today.

Miss you, Miss everything.

Bridge OMG!!!! "Careful Brakes might fail!!!"

By : Unknown
Careful Brakes might fail!!!



In Japan is located the most frightening bridge in the world: judging by the pictures, it seems that those who have designed wanted to defy the force of gravity. We speak of the Ejima bridge, which combines the city of Sakaiminato and Matsuein Japan, the two cities are located on opposite sides of Lake Nakaumi.
A bridge rather than a work road, seems part of an roller coaster in a theme park . The steepness is not only due to an optical effect, but it is real, as you can guess from the photographs that portray this.

How did ACs reached our homes??????

By : Unknown
Air conditioning:

Note: in the broadest sense, "air conditioning" can refer to any form of "heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning." This article is specifically about the use of refrigeration for this purpose.

An air conditioner (often abbreviated to AC in the United States and air-con in Australia) is an appliance or mechanism designed to extract heat from a humanly occupied space air temperature using a refrigeration cycle. To many people, air conditioners are symbolic of the Western world.

An earlier form of air conditioning was invented in Persia (Iran) thousands of years ago in the form of wind shafts on the roof, which caught the wind and passed it through water and blew the cooled air into the building. The electrical version of air conditioning was invented by Willis Haviland Carrier (1876–1950) around 1902 to control temperature and humidity for improved manufacturing process control. Later, expensive air conditioning systems were applied to increase productivity in the workplace. Later still, air conditioning use was expanded to improve comfort in homes and automobiles..



Types of air conditioning

Refrigeration cycle:

In the refrigeration cycle, a heat pump pumps heat from a lower temperature heat source into a higher temperature heat sink. Heat would naturally flow in the opposite direction. This is the most common type of air conditioning. A refrigerator works in much the same way, as it pumps the heat out of the interior into the room in which it stands.

The most common refrigeration cycle uses an electric motor to drive a compressor. In an automobile the compressor is driven by a pulley on the engine's crankshaft. Since evaporation absorbs heat, and condensation releases it, air conditioners are designed to use a compressor to cause pressure changes between two compartments, and actively pump a refrigerant around. A refrigerant is pumped into the hot compartment (the evaporator coil), where the low pressure causes it to evaporate into a vapour, taking heat with it. In the other compartment (the heat exchanger), the refrigerant vapour is compressed, forcing it to condense into a liquid, releasing the heat.

Humidity

Refigeration air conditioning equipment usually reduces the humidity of the air processed by the system. Since humans perspire to provide natural cooling by the evaporation of perspiration from the skin, drier air (up to a point) improves the comfort provided. The comfort air conditioner is designed to create a 40% to 60% relative humidity in the occupied space.

Refrigerants

"Freon" is a trade name for a family of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants manufactured by DuPont and other companies. These refrigerants were commonly used due to their superior stability and safety properties. Unfortunately, evidence has accumulated that these chlorine bearing refrigerants reach the upper atmosphere when they escape. The chemistry is poorly understood but general consensus seems to be that CFCs break up in the stratosphere due to UV-radiation, releasing their chlorine atoms. These chlorine atoms act as catalysts in the breakdown of ozone, which does severe damage to the ozone layer that shields the Earth's surface from the strong UV radiation. The chlorine will remain active as a catalyst until and unless it binds with another particle forming a stable molecule.

Evaporation coolers

The aforementioned Persian cooling systems were evaporation coolers. In very dry climates, such affectionately called "swamp coolers" are popular for improving comfort during hot weather. The evaporative cooler is a device that draws outside air through a wet pad. The sensible heat of the incoming air, as measured by a dry bulb thermometer, is reduced. The total heat (sensible heat plus latent heat) of the entering air is unchanged. Some of the sensible heat of the entering air is converted to latent heat by the evaporation of water in the wet cooler pads. If the entering air is dry enough, the results can be quite comfortable. These coolers cost less and are mechanically simple to understand and maintain. An early type of cooler, using ice for a further effect, was patented by John Gorrie of Apalachicola, FL in 1842, who used the device to cool the patients of his malaria hospital.

Power

Air conditioner equipment power in the U.S. is often described in terms of "tons". A "ton" is defined as the cooling power of one ton US (2000 pounds or 907 kilograms) of ice melting in a 24-hour period. This is equal to 12,000 BTU per hour, or 3516.85284 watts (http://physics.nist.gov/Pubs/SP811/appenB9.html). Residential central refrigeration cycle air conditioners can be 1 to 5 tons (3 to 20 kW).

The use of electric/compressive air conditioning puts a major demand on the nation's electrical power grid in warm weather, when most units are operating under heavy load. In the aftermath of the 2003 North America blackout locals were asked to keep their air conditioning off. During peak demand, additional power plants must often be brought online, usually natural gas fired plants because of their rapid startup. A 1995 study of various utility studies of residential air conditioning concluded that the average air conditioner wasted 40% of the input energy. This energy is lost, ironically, in the form of heat, which must be pumped out.

There is a huge opportunity to reduce the need for new power plants and to conserve energy. In an automobile the A/C system will use around 5 hp (4 kW) of the engine's power.

Insulation

Insulation reduces the required power of the air conditioning system. Thick walls, reflective roofing materical, curtains and trees next to building also cut down on system and energy requirements.

The Nobel Prize- History

By : Unknown
The Nobel Prize (Swedish pronunciation: [nʊˈbɛl], Swedish definite form, singular: Nobelpriset; Norwegian: Nobelprisen) is a set of annual international awards bestowed in a number of categories by Swedish and Norwegian committees in recognition of academic, cultural and/or scientific advances. The will of the Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel established the prizes in 1895. The prizes in Chemistry, Literature, Peace, Physics, and Physiology or Medicine were first awarded in 1901. The related Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences was established by Sweden's central bank in 1968. The Nobel prize was made of the mixture of gold and silver with 24 carat or 4.8 g gold coating. Between 1901 and 2012, the Nobel Prizes and the Prize in Economic Sciences were awarded 555 times to 856 people and organizations. With some receiving the Nobel Prize more than once, this makes a total of 835 individuals (791 men and 44 women) and 21 organizations.

The prizes are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, except for the peace prize which is awarded in Oslo, Norway. The Nobel Prize is widely regarded as the most prestigious award available in the fields of literature, medicine, physics, chemistry, peace, and economics.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Nobel Prize in Physics, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences; the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet awards the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine; the Swedish Academy grants the Nobel Prize in Literature; and the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded not by a Swedish organisation but by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

The various prizes are awarded yearly. Each recipient, or laureate, receives a gold medal, a diploma and a sum of money, which is decided by the Nobel Foundation. As of 2012, each prize was worth 8 million SEK (c. US$1.2 million, €0.93 million). The prize is not awarded posthumously; however, if a person is awarded a prize and dies before receiving it, the prize may still be presented. Though the average number of laureates per prize increased substantially during the 20th century, a prize may not be shared among more than three people.

History of the Nobel Peace Price:




Alfred Nobel was born on 21 October 1833 in Stockholm, Sweden, into a family of engineers.He was a chemist, engineer, and inventor. In 1894, Nobel purchased the Bofors iron and steel mill, which he made into a major armaments manufacturer. Nobel also invented ballistite. This invention was a precursor to many smokeless military explosives, especially the British smokeless powder cordite. As a consequence of his patent claims, Nobel was eventually involved in a patent infringement lawsuit over cordite. Nobel amassed a fortune during his lifetime, with most of his wealth from his 355 inventions, of which dynamite is the most famous.

In 1888, Nobel was astonished to read his own obituary, titled The merchant of death is dead, in a French newspaper. As it was Alfred's brother Ludvig who had died, the obituary was eight years premature. The article disconcerted Nobel and made him apprehensive about how he would be remembered. This inspired him to change his will. On 10 December 1896, Alfred Nobel died in his villa in San Remo, Italy, from a cerebral haemorrhage. He was 63 years old.

Nobel wrote several wills during his lifetime. He composed the last over a year before he died, signing it at the Swedish–Norwegian Club in Paris on 27 November 1895. To widespread astonishment, Nobel's last will specified that his fortune be used to create a series of prizes for those who confer the "greatest benefit on mankind" in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. Nobel bequeathed 94% of his total assets, 31 million SEK (c. US$186 million, €150 million in 2008), to establish the five Nobel Prizes. Because of scepticism surrounding the will, it was not until 26 April 1897 that it was approved by the Storting in Norway. The executors of Nobel's will, Ragnar Sohlman and Rudolf Lilljequist, formed the Nobel Foundation to take care of Nobel's fortune and organise the award of prizes.

Nobel's instructions named a Norwegian Nobel Committee to award the Peace Prize, the members of whom were appointed shortly after the will was approved in April 1897. Soon thereafter, the other prize-awarding organisations were designated or established. These were Karolinska Institutet on 7 June, the Swedish Academy on 9 June, and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on 11 June.The Nobel Foundation reached an agreement on guidelines for how the prizes should be awarded; and, in 1900, the Nobel Foundation's newly created statutes were promulgated by King Oscar II. In 1905, the personal union between Sweden and Norway was dissolved.

First Nobel Price Holders:




Once the Nobel Foundation and its guidelines were in place, the Nobel Committees began collecting nominations for the inaugural prizes. Subsequently they sent a list of preliminary candidates to the prize-awarding institutions.

The Nobel Committee's Physics Prize shortlist cited Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen's discovery of X-rays and Philipp Lenard's work on cathode rays. The Academy of Sciences selected Röntgen for the prize.In the last decades of the 19th century, many chemists had made significant contributions. Thus, with the Chemistry Prize, the Academy "was chiefly faced with merely deciding the order in which these scientists should be awarded the prize." The Academy received 20 nominations, eleven of them for Jacobus van't Hoff.Van't Hoff was awarded the prize for his contributions in chemical thermodynamics.

The Swedish Academy chose the poet Sully Prudhomme for the first Nobel Prize in Literature. A group including 42 Swedish writers, artists and literary critics protested against this decision, having expected Leo Tolstoy to be awarded.Some, including Burton Feldman, have criticised this prize because they consider Prudhomme a mediocre poet. Feldman's explanation is that most of the Academy members preferred Victorian literature and thus selected a Victorian poet. The first Physiology or Medicine Prize went to the German physiologist and microbiologist Emil von Behring. During the 1890s, von Behring developed an antitoxin to treat diphtheria, which until then was causing thousands of deaths each year.

Daily facts

By : Unknown
Hello Friends,

I have something that you all need to go through,  anyways first of all i just want you all to think of what you had in the breakfast today, i bet 9/10 of you had sliced bread with something or the other on its top. Its very interesting to know that sliced bread is so famous that almost the entire population in the world eats it atleast once in a day.

Anyone of you ever thought that when and where was this food item first made and by whom????? If not then let me show you some interesting point which helps us understand the history of it.
_________________________________________________________________________________


Sliced bread and its inventor, Otto Rohwedder, both celebrate a birthday today. Rohwedder was born on July 7, 1880, and the first sliced loaves were sold on July 7, 1928.

Every invention that makes life easier is now deemed "the greatest thing since sliced bread," but the idea of presliced bread actually took a while to catch on. Rohwedder spent over 10 years trying to get a bakery to try out his machine. Bakers thought that their customers simply wouldn't be impressed and wouldn’t care if their bread was presliced or not. Skeptics were also worried that the presliced bread would become stale faster or would crumble and fall apart during the slicing, according to the Constitution-Tribune.

However, once Rohwedder got his foot in the door, it didn't take long for the invention to catch on. The small town of Chillicothe in northwest Missouri became the first place where sliced loaves were sold to the public. The news even made the front page of the local paper. While there’s no proof, it's likely that the phrase, "the greatest thing since sliced bread," came from the advertisement that ran on the back page of the paper, which called the sliced loaves "the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped."

Just two years after it was introduced, use of the slicing machine spread across the country, and the company Wonder Bread began building its own bread slicers and mass-producing the presliced loaves.

During World War II, the government banned sliced bread in order to put more resources into weapons production rather than bread-slicing-machine production. The ban only lasted two months because of the strong backlash, not just from bread companies, but also from consumers who had grown used to the pre-sliced bread and were outraged at the idea of having to slice it themselves, according to the Kansas City Star.

Rohwedder's original machine includes multiple steel blades that chop the loaves into slices just under 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) wide and then stuffs them into a heavy waxed paper wrapping. One of these machines is in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

See you all soon in the next fact to reveal.... :) keep smiliing :)

How can it be done?

By : Unknown
Wise say that we grow much wiser and smarter day by day contributing the entire race to be more advance all along. Every now and then people make mistakes some small, some big and some which decides the lives of few around them, but yes every mistake or a misdeed that has been made intentionally or unknowingly does make a difference even if its effect are to the minimum.

Today I voice out to ask, Is there any way one can revert actions (natural or performed by a human) without hampering the situation and take it back to how it was? If yes then how can it be done?????

Recently, many people lost their lives, many are homeless and others are fighting for their very breath in the hospital just to make sure that they exist. Hope you now know which incident I am talking about, yes I am talking about our very own neighborhood Nepal, where about 10,000 people lost their lives in the devastating earthquake. It is said that the magnitude of the earthquake was 7.9 Richter Scale, post which there were multiple aftershocks which rattled the entire nation numerous times.

Relief are being sent across nations by many countries as a helping hand for all those who had suffered or are suffering the great natural disaster. Children orphaned within seconds, wifes widowed,  Mother lost their beloved sons and daughter and many more.  Why does it happen?, of course we all know about the scientific side of it so lets not get into that.

When we see the images of it, an urge of doing something for them crawls from within but some can and few cannot. Lets do something that anyone in the world can do with a pure heart and a positive mind lets include them in our prayers and wish that everything that can be restored would be done and take a minute to think about those who are in need of our prayers and support, and to those who have lost their lives in this incident may their soul rest in peace.

Endangered Wild Animal Species of India!!

By : Unknown

Indian Tiger:-

The Bengal Tiger is  the largest one from the four “Roaring Cats of India”.The Bengal tiger is the second largest subspecies after the Siberian tiger, recent studies have shown that Bengal Tigers are, on average, larger than the Siberian Tigers. Tiger do not live in prides so every tiger has its own territory to live. Tiger habitats usually include dense forest area, proximity to water, and full of prey sources. Bengal Tigers live in many types of forests, including wet and evergreen jungle like Bengal, the mangrove forest of the Ganges Delta. The Royal  Bengal Tiger also found in Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan. Bengal tigers eat a variety of animals found in their natural habitat, including deer, wild boars,water buffalo etc.The Bengal Tiger is the national animal of India.India is the home for the world’s largest population of tigers.In the Big Cats dairy of India there are only 1411 Royal Bengal Tigers left as per record.Conservation efforts called “Project Tiger” is on his way to Save Bengal Tigers. Bandhavgarh national park has been an excellent habitat of tiger and is known for the highest density of tigers in the world.


Indian Dolphin:-

The Ganges River Dolphin is member of Cetacea family,which includes marine mammals porpoises and whales. Dolphins primarily found in the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers and their tributaries in India. They share their habitat with crocodiles, fresh water turtles. The blind Dolphin of holy river Ganges is the National Aquatic Animal of India.The India Rive shark is also listed as one of the endangered Species in India.There are fewer than 2000 Ganges river dolphins left in India. These fresh water cetacean mostly distributed in gange and brahmaputra river. River dolphins have the long, pointed nose, river dolphins are nearly blind, They rely on sound and echolocation to navigate and communicate.Dolphins are in Danger because of less habitat area due to construction of dames, fishing and pesticide. They also killed for meat and oil. Dolphins in India are come under extinct animals due to polluted rivers and poaching. Every year nearly 100 Dolphins are getting killed by humans. If anyone kills the Dolphin, or if any one having the body parts of Dolphin, will be treated as crime they will be punished.

Conservation: There are various conservation works going on the Sanctuary Areas to protect the National Aquatic Animal of India. Vikramshila Gangetic dolphin sanctuary is the only the only protected area for the endangered Gangetic dolphins in Asia. It is located in Bhagalpur District of Bihar, India. Only a few hundred dolphins remain in India, of which half are found here. WWF-India and Aaranyak a NGO has been working closely with various government departments to protect these blind river Dolphins of India.


Indian Wild Ass:-

Indian Wild Ass also called khur are only found in the Little Rann of Kutch in the Gujarat state of India. The Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary’s Saline desert, grassland in arid zone and shrubland are its preferred homeland. The Indian wild ass disappeared from its former haunts in parts of western India and falls in endangered category of wild animals.

Heart Beat of our Capital

By : Unknown









Delhi Metro: Heart Beat of our Capital- Must Read Article

Delhi Metro is a metro system serving Delhi metropolitan area and its satellite cities of Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad and Ghaziabad in the National Capital Region of India.[8] Delhi Metro is the world's fifteenth largest metro system in terms of length and 12th largest in terms of number of stations.[9] It is a member of Nova Group of Metros.[10] Delhi Metro is India's third urban mass rapid transport system (after the Kolkata Metro and Chennai MRTS) and first modern rapid transit system. As of June 2015, the network consists of five colour-coded regular lines (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Violet), and a sixth express line, the Airport Express, with a total length of 193 kilometres (120 mi),[1] serving 140 stations (with 6 more Airport Express stations),[1] of which 38 are underground, five are at-grade, and the rest are elevated.[11] All stations have escalators, elevators, and tactile tiles to guide the visually impaired from station entrances to trains.
As of November 2014, DMRC operates around 3000 trips daily between 05:30 till 00:00 running with an interval of between 3–4 minutes between trains at peak frequency.[12][13] The trains are usually of four and six coaches, but due to increase in the number of passengers, eight-coach trains are added on the Yellow Line (Jahangirpuri to HUDA city centre) and Blue line (Dwarka Sector-21 to Noida City Centre/Vaishali).[14] Yellow line being the first one with eight coach trains.[6][7][13][15] The power output is supplied by 25-kilovolt, 50-hertz alternating current through overhead catenary. The metro has an average daily ridership of 2.4 million commuters, and, as of August 2010, had already carried over 1.25 billion commuters since its inception.[16] The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has been certified by the United Nations as the first metro rail and rail-based system in the world to get "carbon credits for reducing greenhouse gas emissions" and helping in reducing pollution levels in the city by 630,000 tonnes every year.[17]

Planning for the metro started in 1984, when the Delhi Development Authority and the Urban Arts Commission came up with a proposal for developing a multi-modal transport system for the city. The Government of India and the Government of Delhi jointly set up the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) registered on 3 May 1995 under The Companies Act, 1956. Construction started in 1998, and the first section, on the Red Line, opened in 2002, followed by the Yellow Line in 2004, the Blue Line in 2005, its branch line in 2009, the Green and Violet Lines in 2010, and the Delhi Airport Metro Express in 2011.


The recently opened Rapid MetroRail Gurgaon, whilst linked to it by the Yellow Line is a separate metro system (with a different owner/operator than the Delhi Metro), although tickets from the Delhi Metro can be used in its network.

Wet Roads

By : Unknown


Wet Roads,

Today the hot winds and the screaming sun are on a vacation i guess.

Here in Delhi, where we experience the extremities of almost all seasons, from freezing cold winters to melting hot summers, today surprisingly the weather has taken a turn and gifted us with a cool wind and soothing rain.

A ray of relief and joy can be seen in the faces around who are already fed up with the daily soaring heat and glass breaking rise in the temperature day by day. The sky is not so clear as the dense cloud gather around to protect the people from the fierce heat of the sun and also welcoming the wind making the weather more pleasant and moist.

Its good to have a few days of rain in between hot summers, no one can deny that as the constant rise of temperature (>40 degrees) boils everyone to the core forcing them to remain locked inside their houses keeping the road traffic to the minimum. This might be a reason I observed that the traffic is bit dense right now even worse is due to the water which is flowing in the road making it harder to escape from it(traffic).

Anyways, lets not get into the negatives and just enjoy the day as it is worth doing it...hope to see this weather again soon :)
