The truth about 2012

COMPLETELY MY IDEA!

You might have heard about 2012 and the end of the world. Well, I’ve explained in here to try to inform people of this other life nonsense. In brief, for people not familiar with the concept, the Mayan Long Count Calendar is ending on December 21 2012 and this is what they call the end of the Great Cycle. I felt so bad about all the false information and the fear propaganda being made around this event that I felt the need to create a website and make this all clear.

It is believed that on that date, the world will either ends or dramatic changes will take place. The possibilities are that there will be an increase of flood, volcanoes eruptions, earthquakes, a comet hitting earth and a magnetic poles shift. I explain on the website how this is all totally nonsense, that the end of the Great Cycle is considered by the Mayas as a celebration day and not as a doomsday and that it would be impossible for them to predict such event.

Also, Nostradamus apparently predicted that a comet will hit earth in 2012 causing major chaos on the planet. Again, I think it is fairly objective to say that Nostradamus can’t be trusted. Everyone can be a Nostradamus and it’s in fact fairly easy. Simply write vague enough statements/predictions with no dates about terrible events and once a terrible event occurred, you can probably make a link between your predictions and that event. I found a very nice article dating from 1984 about Nostradamus predicting the end of the world in the 1990’s and I think you can all draw your own conclusions!

One last thing I explain is that the only rational possibility is a magnetic pole shift. A magnetic poles shift is essentially the North pole and the South pole swapping places. It has happened some 780,000 years ago and many believe that we are overdue for another one. To be more precise, some believe it will happen in 2012 exactly. The NASA has confirmed a pole shift in the near future is a possibility, but no one knows! It’s not something you can predict. It is generally agreed that a pole shift could disrupt our planet. This would affect everything ranging from telecommunications to animals and humans. There’s only one thing you have to consider that may people intentionally forget to mention : A poles shift takes 5,000 years to complete! I’m pretty sure you won’t be here anymore. In the beginning of a pole shift, we might face temporary problems with cell phones, GPS, etc. but nothing close to the end of the world!

What is 2012 about?

The year 2012 is referring to the last year of the Long Count Maya calendar. The current Great Cycle, as the Mayas call it, is set to end on the winter solstice of 2012: December 21 2012 and many people believe that on that date, the world will change and never be the same. Some predict terrible events resulting in the destruction of our world and some predict that it won’t necessarily end, but that we will enter a new era and massive changes will occur.

This article will try to answer most questions you may have in a rational way. because there are way too many websites creating some sort of fear propaganda around 2012 and as you will see, you have nothing to be scared of.

There’s too much disinformation going on about this subject and there’s an article you can read that was published around 1990 that reminds me the current situation: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/45/was-nostradamus-really-able-to-predict-the-future

What will happen on December 21 2012?

The most random question. ( Yet no correct answer )

A quick answer: Nobody knows, but probably not much. Think, they are just Predictions.

There have been a lot going on regarding the 2012 prophecy recently, including the movie “I am legend”, but surprisingly, not much information about what is really supposed to happen on that date is available. This is Probably because nobody knows and also because probably not much will happen. Most information available about 2012 is making reference to mass destruction of the world as we know it, earth’s pole shift/magnetic field reversal, Nostradamus predictions, end of Mayas calendar, and so on...

The base of all the predictions is the end of the Maya calendar in 2012, which is supposed to mean the end of the world or a period of radical changes. In fact, the end of the Maya calendar is known as the end of the Great Cycle. People find it easy to believe in that theory because Maya civilization is known for advanced writing, mathematics and astronomy. It can seem like they really know what they’re talking about, but the truth is that the end of the Great Cycle is not the end of the world, it’s in fact a great celebration for the Mayas:

For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle” says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies in Crystal River, Fla. To render Dec. 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is “a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in.”

From USA TODAY.

Astronomers generally agree that “it would be impossible the Maya themselves would have known that” says Susan Milbrath, a Maya archaeoastronomer and a curator at the Florida Museum of Natural History. What’s more, she says, “we have no record or knowledge that they would think the world would come to an end at that point.”

From USA TODAY

Putting apart scientific data, here are the commons beliefs of the December 21 2012:

• Galactic Alignment. This Galactic Alignment occurs only once every 26,000, this is considered as the end-date in the Mayans Long Count calender. It is the alignment of the December solstice sun with the Galactic equator.
• A comet hitting Earth (Nostradamus)
• Earth’s Pole Shift/Magnetic field reversal
• Increase of calamities, natural disasters, mass destruction, etc.

I don’t want to repeat myself, but all of this is very vague as nobody really knows what will happen and the world is not at its first doomsday prophecy. There have been a lot of “Unfulfilled” prophecies in the past and you can have a look at this Wikipedia document (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfulfilled_religious_prophecies) for a list of unfulfilled religious prophecies.

What I find quite interesting about the 2012 theory is that there’s not much publications from well respected scientific organizations. NASA has published a couple of articles about the pole shift, but nothing else that could reveal a certain fear of the end of the world. Now you could argue that “big organizations” certainly wouldn’t reveal anything that has to do with the end of the world, but that’s another debate.

Will I die on December 21 2012?

Well, of-course I can Predict! However I can’t tell, the Mayas can’t, Nostradamus can’t and the aliens can’t. On December 21 2012, a comet won’t hit the earth, a pole shift won’t happen instantly and a massive gravity burst won’t happen either. The only thing you can fear is a pole shift and it can take up to 5,000 years to complete…

What if you’re wrong?

In the case that I am wrong, that every scientist on this planet is wrong and that the NASA can’t figure out a simple galactic alignment that would put our world to an end then I guess we are all in the same situation. You, me and everyone will die. Scary isn’t it? Well, no one can tell what will happen tomorrow or in 2012. The utter important thing is : Future is a prediction. In some cases like this.

Hope you enjoyed.

I hope you enjoyed reading on the 2012 end of the world prophecy and that you are looking at it in a completely different way. Live, love, and Peace! Happy ending! :)

WASTING WATER? - ISN'T HUMBUG!

"" Water occupies 3/4th of earth.... water is a universal solvent....out of what we have on as 'pure' only some amount of it is used to drink which is now-a-days going waste.. it is used to wash clothes, dishes and buffaloes too....we should bring awareness among people....... more and more about water "" -- enough .. enough.... i suppose people have known a lot about the basics of water and its use as a resource!

PEOPLE -- its not the time to roll out and start campaigns with the sign boards in hands and shouting " save water " .. they can be max minimised ....It's the time to act upon!

So, basically people know what we are actually talking about, "NOT WASTING WATER" . However people think they have a lot of water and start using it for their greeds and not their needs.. this picture depicts...

we have a lot of water does not mean that we can use in whatever way we want ..

This reminds me of an uneducated person asking me ..... " Isnt it okay to use the water however we want, even though we have plenty of it.." .. So, my complete idea of getting people aware starts from here!! awaring the uneducated first. In India, mostly housewives and labourers are uneducated and they are the one who know the real value of the water. Yet they need awareness campaigns to 'create' awareness among their households and their neighbourhood. It starts with them.....

They know that water is abundant, They know that only some amount of pure water is available for drinking alone. They 'do' imagine the world without water. So, we have come to an understanding point that everybody knows the value of water, even the uneductaed..!!! but, where this water is going as a watse is through " OUR " hands....

Did this 60 years of independence go waste? and are people misusing their freedom? my answer would be " hopefully no" -- They know to use it in the case of 'not wasting water'. Through a thorough research of mine, I found there were very minute neglections of people in this regard. Thinking about the situations it has come down from " Dont watse water" to " Dont waste a single drop of water" . NO . it isnt hypothetical....

On our travel through our life, we observe that in some countries people BUY water even to BATH... It is appropriate to say that, this kind of situation has not yet caught INDIA. We have to take care so that, we will not get struck in these situtations sooner or later.

It is time to imagine , if 'A' person is wasting 'A' drop of water, then just think how much water will be wasted by whole of India! the second largest populated country in the world!! Imagining this is the worst of ever!

Before catching the government for help.... people should start helping themselves to get out of remorseful situations later on ...

Likewise, lot of water creates floods and no water creates droughts..... now we may catch up with the second part of it......if the situation continues.!

we say and say and say but who are doing it???

we will!!

we have one percent of water and in that one percent we are wasting 95% of it!!

i will be the change ... join me...

Why is it important to conserve water?

Water conservation is an increasingly critical concern for people across the globe.Water conservation is very important. There are ways to conserve water everyday and all around us. Doing this will help to preserve our planet and we will feel good doing so.....

Water conservation is an important step in saving money and helping the environment. It's estimated that the world wastes billions of gallons of water yearly. This can be very costly for people.

Water is too good to waste because it is essential for life?. Desalinization is too expensive for most communities. Once water is washed into a sewer system, it's mixed with chemicals that are difficult and very expensive to remove. Watering lawns too often will wash pesticides and herbicides into the sewer system. Most of the times : The water we drink is recyled from the water we use, so it's important to not pollute it.

Sure, you hear a lot about conserving water. But if it’s been raining regularly where you live, what’s the big deal about running the sprinklers at mid-day or letting that drippy faucet go a few weeks before you get around to fixing it?

Conserving water isn’t just about the water supply. Water and wastewater facilities account for 30-35% of municipal energy usage in most communities.

The water that comes out of your faucet is drinking water quality. It’s been processed to the point where it’s safe for human consumption. When you waste drinking water quality water, you’re also wasting all of the energy that goes into making the water drinkable. The water that goes down your drain has to be processed by a wastewater facility, and that uses a lot of energy too.

And we should remember that : "SAVING WATER MEANS SAVING ENERGY AT THE SAME TIME"

lets move on to 'HOW'?

WHAT SHOULD WE DO TO SAVE WATER?

KITCHEN:
- only use the dishwasher when it's full
- install flow constrictors / fauces aerators
- you just need a few inches of water in the sink to wash dishes
- save the water that you rinse veggies with, or that you cook with... use it to water your plants. Cooking water can be reused for future cooking.

GARDEN:
- use a drip system instead of sprinklers (very important!)
- if you can't avoid sprinklers, set an automatic timer for them so you don't accidentally overwater
- plant native plants in the garden - they require less water
- water the garden with water saved from the kitchen.

• Inspect all plumbing in your house to assure that you're not losing water through leaks. Even a small drip from a faucet can result in hundreds of lost gallons each month. This also includes a toilet that runs all of the time. If it's running, that means water is literally going right down the drain! Also, consider show heads and faucets that conserve water. They can be found at your local home store.
• Don't leave the water running while shaving, brushing your teeth, or washing your hands. Use only enough water to accomplish the task. The water doesn't need to run the entire time for these tasks.This simple step can also save gallons of water each month.
• Don't flush the toilet every time. It may sound gross, but only if it's "brown" does it need to go down. Also, consider placing something like a 2 liter bottle full of water in the back tank. This will reduce the amount of water used.
• Catch rain water to water gardens, flowers, and even your lawn. Don't waste extra water if not needed. Purchase a large bucket and put it under a downspout to collect water. Also, avoid watering your lawn if possible. Probably "rainwater harvesting"....
• Take a shower instead of bucket use.. also take a shorter shower. Even a minute or two shorter will save many gallons of water each month. Encourage any others in your household to take shorter showers as well. This is a simple steps that can make a huge difference.
• And some simple steps... where we waste a lot of water... Only run the washing machine and dishwasher when they are full. Water conservation starts with common sense!


• Aim the water sprinkler in the right place - not on the sidewalk or driveway. Also, water the lawn on days when there is no wind to blow it away.
• 
• Avoid putting water fountains in your yard. If you have to have one, use a trickling fountain - it uses less water than ones that spray.


• Sweep the driveway and walkways instead of hosing it down with water.
• Collect rainwater outside in a bucket and use it to water indoor plants or can be used for useful purposes.

• Don't use the toilet as a trash can. Throw face tissues and cotton swabs in the trash to save water.
• Wash your vehicles using a bucket rather than a pipe.
• After cleaning your fish tanks - water the plants with that nutritious water..
• Donate or recycle your old jeans. You may not immediately correlate jeans with water conservation, but it takes 1,800 gallons of water to grow the cotton that makes up one pair of jeans! Donate jeans to charity and let someone else wear them if you're not going to.

It is always unique take on this pledge by your heart and become a water saver!

Is the 5-day Lead India training program useful for a growing teenager?

Absolutely, YES.
Any child learns anything when they are growing, especially between the ages 10 to 25.
so when our mind is starting to develop, we need to instill the good thoughts and deeds into the mind of an energetic young future citizen!
On a point, this Lead India training program instills the confidence that a man needs his journey to his death which indeed includes the survival skillls, from the ultimate source : LEAD INDIA training program.
i have learnt to be independent through this traning and choosen my path to live through the future world.The three words which are very important in life :Commitment : Control : Challenge: is meant for me to understand the meaning of life!
This program develops that feeling of individuality and concentration in an individual teenager, not to deviate his concentration from the work he ought to do! Instead thinking to develop himself and the nation!
And coming to parents and gurus
respecting them is the main part what we have learnt here!
the blessings from them cannot be compared with anything else in this universe, There is something in this universe that makes their blessings come true! and that remains a secret!
waking up and sleeping: it is the most important part of a day, waking up at 5 Am am and sleeping at 10Pm is a good timing and enough rest that body needs, and for a teenager the time to read and getting fit is the important thing! in the morning!
Breakfast, lunch and dinner:
praising and thanking those who helped us to reach the food into our stomach is strictly recomended and needed in our daily life, we owe our life a lot to them!
Team work, friends and Change agents:
yes the change agents are really the JAAN JIGIRI DOSTH, i learnt a lot from small young people, so knowledgeble they are and sharing my experience with them and their with me in a positive way to LEAD INDIA!
Similarly, all teenagers will have to and will learn these above mentioned activities once made inevitable in their daily life!
Teenage:
The age of attractions and everything seems lovable! But you teens just think how far is it reliable in your life at this particular age, focusing your concentration on studies and personality development which ultimately leads to individual empowerment which is a nations empowerment! If all the above listed are followed by every teen in their daily life, they would not have to search for oppurtunities instead choose from them in future!
'Dr.kalam's call to the nation'- book inspired me and have completed reading in an hour as it was so motivating! authored by Prof.N.B.Sudersan Acharya garu.
I as a change agent swear that i will follow all these and make people around me also follow the activities of lead india!
I am devoted to my nation, and i will help my nation develop by becoming a world famous personality. And that is my duty!
As Dr. kalam said
"I will also work and sweat until i achieve developed India!"
Jai hind!
"All that we are is the result of what we have thought."

Why are we born?

Yes it is a question which cannot be answered by anyone!

But, however Lead India 2020 : 5 day camp developed the thoughts in me to know why we are born!
getting to the point,
we are born to achieve whatever we desire!
But the desires, which can be negative or positive should be positive!
whatever the work we are doing!!!!

Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

The only thing we need to do is to analyse where we stand in this world!
Not comparing yourself with anybody else other than you!
and competing with your own soul is what leads you to destiny!!!!!!!!!!!
