PETROL vs ELECTRIC CARS

Image
There are about 30,000 components in an average petrol car including the tiny hose connector, bolts and nuts of different sizes and upto the large engine block. A petrol/diesel car has ove 200 components in the combustion engine whereas an electric car has only 20 components. When we make a simple assessment, this 90 per cent reduction in parts may bring considerable reduction in the sale price. But it is not so. We may find here the Tata Tiago (petrol) ex show room price in Kochi, that is Rs 5,59,900. (The figures shown here are that of about early 2024) Tiago Ev, Rs 8,69,000, 19.2 KWh. We may find here a hike in  price for about 55 per cent from petrol car to ev car. The reason for this price increase is said to be for the following. One is the high price of battery and the other is lack of manufacturing facilities. If a new battery is fitted in a Tiago it cost between Rs 4.1 to 5.1 lakh. Lithium reserves in our country was comparatively low could be one reason for th...

Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and      Research Centre, New Delhi     Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital Mumbai                      We have umpteen number of bodies for the development of agriculture in India. Whether it is the development of rice, wheat, vegetable or fruit, it should be finally destined for the development of the people. However, most unfortunately, our agricultural development is ultimately leading to the retrogression of humans in our country. Cancer patients in India is projected to increase to 29.8 millions in 2025 from 26.7 millions in 2021. Many chemical contents in pesticides and chemical fertilizers  are potential enough to cause cancer. Pesticides used in vegetables and fruits have devastating elements to make people infected with cancer. Over and above these some business people adamantly make healthy people into cancer patients.

ASSEMBLY ELECTION RESULT OF 4th MAY 2026

Image
According to the facts and figures revealed by the results of the assembly election of four states shows that the voters have left their resolute nature in accepting a political ideology and rejecting another one. They have become more liberal and intense in finding good and bad. The preconceived socialist economic theory has been reanalyzed. This election could also well explain that God, religion, economics and politics  cannot be mixed together and served among the literate community. This verdict of the people clearly indicates that the rulers cannot hide much from the ruled. And it also gives alert calls for the coming national elections that people can no more remain silent and without any resistance to uncontrolled correction throughout the country. Our future politicians should also know that people will not allow anymore fo keep the door of education closed. Further to all these, the people of the God's Own Country  is appeared to have come out of the illu...

SCHOOL SYLLABUS KERALA MODEL

Image
Today's news report says that over 1.2 lakhs children rejected Kerala syllabus and left the schools. It has become customary for the concerned departments to prepare the syllabus in a channelised manner. We have a good number of issues in our society looking for ways and means for a result oriented solution. Today's school children will be tomorrow's legislators, judiciary, police, teachers, writers and so on. Wherever we elders have failed to find solutions we may pass it on to the coming generation specifying our failures in details. We have such amount of problems like corruption all over the country, widespread use of narcotics by our youth,  uncontrollable politics of our country, irritation among various religions and most unsafe conditions of women in our country. Another serious matter is the huge number of road accident deaths on our roads. In 2022 alone there were 4,61,312 road accidents in India killing 1,68,491 and injuring 4,43,366 people. We must b...

GOD, RELIGION AND POLITICS

Image
Top - Kalaram temple, Nashik, Maharashtra Middle - Thriprayar Sri Ram temple, Kerala Bottom - Ram Mandir, Bhubaneswar, Odisha    These three subjects have created lot of problems and taken countless number of lives across the world. While the prime subject God is something beyond human brain. Most of us fail to understand that truth. Some people have some scattered thoughts about God and such ones are creating confusion in simple human minds. Hinduism and Christianity say that God Himself have appeared first and from Him everything else came into being. The Big Bang theory of the modern science also suggests that a tiny particle came into being first and from that all space, time and matter came into being. Since all these three suggest same thing about the beginning it can be safely concluded that all those in the universe have come into existence from God. In other words all these are in the universe is God Himself. Whether it is sun, moon...

If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." - Anonymous Most people in their 20s and 30s become too instable and carrying lot of stress in finding a job and overcoming the financial burdens. By reaching over 60 these stress slowly fade away and start enjoying a life they have made and, therefore, happiness   and well being  are with you. Semantic memory - your knowledge of the world and experiences, including recollection of facts and figures resist aging.
