Falling in love with blog
I and my batch mates started off blogging , due to mandatory rules at our institution. In the begininng some of us hated writing blogs and some wrote it for namesake .But the hard part was to obtain a topic which is something you want to express. most often due to present it in time we had to always go for topics that are recent contemporary. Here the expression wasnot there.
But right now i feel that blogging gives you the very great advantages like improving your vocabulary, language. It also gives the freedom to express . Its your views which is going to be reflected throughout your blog.
So finally i am enjoying writing a blog of my own. Its my creation. See my creation.

Communal riots
Communal riots has caused heavy losses to nation , families , societies. The harm done by them are very deep.These riots made nations to think out of the box.The recent amendments made by the Indian government is a key indication that how riots destructs a nations image. It won't attract investments from foreign countries. It will damage the economic stability and the social stability of a nation.
If you take into account other riots , the most venomous is the communal riots. It is very difficult to control them. It is very much difficult to overpower them. Since each move from the police or from the goverment will result in controversies or they will result in another tensions. Communal riots end results will remain in the mind sets of the people for a long time. So when ever a new riot break out then the old ones memmories will act as a catalyst.
The usage of army and paramilitary is a big relief for the state goverments.Since the external body like the army has full rights to take stiff actions. Army intervention reduces the influence of external bodies in and around.
The aftermath of communal riots will be mistrust , loss of belief , fear and anger.So the guards has to make sure that the situation is under control before they leave the area. The effective participation of commuities and work groups will reduce the pressure and tensions. The harmful groups and the external bodies influences should be terminated .
Controlling a riot finds to be a much difficult task while compared to prevention of a communal riot. It has the capability to tear apart the unity of the nation.

Need for Intelligence agencies
With the serious rise in terrorism, the need for intelligence agencies are on a high. They are the wtachdogs of a nation . They are given the duties to safeguard the people. The need for intelligence came into shape from the date in which groups of people confronted each other. It became a neccessity to know the enemy moves. The one which was able to react fast were the real winners.Thus the focus shifted to intelligence gathering. Intelligence gathering allowed nation to avoid large human loss, reduce costs. Thus finally it resulted in formation of intelligence agencies or departments. These played a cruical role in the social life also since crimes were also cracked by the application of intelligence.
Intelligence gathering has a much more importance in wars. Because they are the decision makers to win a war.They also make disasterous results since the single error can make a huge change in plans. Thus the capability of a country to resist to intelligence determines the resistance within the country. A nation which has less will power to counter interference of another nation into its day to day activities are having a great chance to fail. The formation of intelligence agencies are to support a nation during its needs, to gather intelligence that are against social harmony, country.They are vital forces in wartime. They act as a buffer between the goverment and the military. Their desicions can change the whole plan. They are catalyst during the war.
Without intelligence agencies , a nation is like a crime zone. It will look like crime city, where the culprits can ran away after committing serious crimes.

Why I am crazy about driving?
Driving can be made a hobby as well as a craze. It doesnot mean a careless driving. It should be carefull and a healthy one. Cars and bikes from the childhood itself inspired me. I dreamt of riding as many vehicles as possible. And it was amazing to watch them work .How people loved it.
Driving is also a test of logic and attitude.If you think that you can drive through a certain path.Then nothing can stop you from doing that. Its where the presence of mind plays. Some times you can manipulate what is the result of a particular move. How you can get through a traffic block. It also give your mind the multiple tasking properties. Your mind will be thinking on how to reach a certain destination using alternative paths. It is also an understanding between a human and a machine. It is all dependent on the man and machine. If there is a voilation of understanding then both of them is going to suffer. So it sometimes becomes a long time relationship.
Those who rides bikes and cars for a long time can easily say , how the relationship is maintained between man and machine. They thrills the person who are passionate with it . Machines performance is easily judged by the factors and the person who is riding it. Driving gives out extreme freedom to do anything. It lets you drive away and keep away from all the tensions. It is an emotion, it is great feeling. The thrill while driving a car and a bike are different. The freedom u get is ultimate. I like driving. And i wish i should be able to drive a lot of vehicles.

AVAILABILITY BASED TARIFF

ABT or availabilty based tariff is a tehnical term associated with the transmission of power. It was with the introduction of this plan several disputes were finalised . A stability and responsibility was made in the grid through this plan.This abt is effective in the generating side. There are mainly two costs which is in generation.They are fixed costs and variable costs.

FIXED COSTS
Fixed cost is determined mainly by the day by day or annual generation of the station. These fixed charges are in availability tariff. If the total production done is less than what was expected then the station will be getting a lesser payement. And if the generation is greater than the expected one then company will get the higher payments.This is termed as "capacity charge".

VARIABLE COSTS
Variable cost is that dependent on the fuel costs ,daily running costs etc. In availability tariff the reimbursement is given through variable costs. This charge is termed as "energy charge".If the production is above the scheduled production , then the rate will be varing dependent on the grids frequency. If the scheduled production is of 500 MW and the plant is producing 550MW , then the rate will depend on the current electrical system. If frequency is less than 50.0 then plant gets more .If frequency is greater than 50.0 hz, then plant will be only getting what was actually being scheduled. No extra charges will be given to plant.


The main components of ABT are
Capacity charge
linked to plants capacity of generation and towards fixed costs.

Energy charge
linked to the fuel costs of production and towards variable costs.

Deviation payment
linked to system conditions and can be negative (in case the generation is less than what was scheduled)

NEED FOR BETTER ROADS

Roads define how developed the city is. Roads are important. Because they act as the veins of the city.Roads over looks day by day needs of the city.It also reflects the will power of the administration to maintain a public property. The more the roads , the more the money inflows. The revenue inflows depends on the sales,service, tax of which a major part occurs through the road.

Well planned city has well built roads. These roads should be well planned inorder to avoid blocks occuring all over. They should be built overseeing the traffic that is going to occur in the coming few years. They should be lasting. The better the roads , there will be much more safety factor which will reduce the accidents all over

Roads help in building the total infrastructure of the cities.It inturn helps in pumping more investments. The roads when developed in a larger scale has the great power to create more job oppurtunities and more inflows in tourism. It will also designate a better connectivity between points. It also points how well a country is also connected .

Sky Cars




Imagine during the long traffic blocks, our car has the capability to lift off and get rid of the traffic blocked area.Fly away freely to the destination.This one is soon going to be a reality in the near future. It will almost resemble the star wars scenario.

With more companies pumping in more money into the research and development of the wings of the future.They will be ready to roll out from factories. These cars are designed so as to be one that can be used both roads as well as in air. The main challenges that one faces is they are to be manufactured in a user friendly way , which comply with the standards put by goverment and other safety measures.It should act as a package which includes a car and an aeroplane. So these things shouldnot make the final product a bulk one.Also main challenges will be to make the vehicle to be more fuel efficient and to be user friendly. There will be also problems like the conroling the traffic caused by these vehicles . There should be predefined routes as for the roadlines. These routes should be always be made under the frequent revision of the control area. These challenges when eliminated will give way to the total production of such a vehicle.

Even before the wright brothers attempt to fly plane, there were attempts to make a flying cart. Such kind of tests and experiments continued. People dedicated more time and more money to mass produce a flying car. There were attempts which was shown to public by 1917, 1937 ,1946 etc,so on.Some died during the experiments, even in the experimental flights.Initial costs set for the skycars are around one million.But once the mass production increases the prices will come down to $60,000.

There are more than 10 companies involved in developing a flying car "Sky cars".Most of them make use of the GPS system and really fast computers to avoid mishaps during flights. The money spent on these research will be worth once these vehicles gets the certifications and starts mass production . There are concepts similar to the convertibles , that is to convert a car to a flying machine with the touch of a single button. These versions will be compact as well as fuel efficient. They are having mass appeal on their design. They will be worth driving. And most of the companies are trying to make the vehicle be running in any fuel , which gives them an extra wing.

The challenges that is said to be a hinderance in the development will be eradicated soon and these "Sky cars " are soon going to on the roads .
