How can I get an image of my child removed from Facebook.com?

A few days back someone copied a picture of my daughter from my Dad's WhatsApp DP and put it on www.facebook.com in a fake profile with a pseudo name. Apparently that person also sent a friends request to my Dad on www.facebook.com. I was angry and anxious to nab this guy and punch him in the face as till date I have not put her picture (or my family members) anywhere on social media. I respect her privacy and mine too.  I accepted the request and found some contact information in email, this person used a part of email as a 10 digit mobile number. Called up that number and it turns out it is of someone in MP who doesn't have a clue about Facebook but uses whatsapp. He also got curious to find out who used his mobile number as an email ID and created a profile.

I tried logging removal request with Facebook and it kept giving me options to message the person, write to him/her. I was frustrated upon receiving all void options to get some help. Although I did mail him to remove the pictures, I didn't think it would work as the sole objective of putting someone else's picture is to cause some harassment. After about 45 minutes of research and options I came across two options:

1. Request removal of the page as it breaches my privacy. 

2. Request removal of the page as it breaches my child's privacy and puts it at risk. 

I logged both the requests. In the next 4 hours the 1st request was rejected, but in overall 24 hours the 2nd request probably worked and they removed the page and photo both. 

I hope this is helpful, just in case if someone gets into same trouble.

Krishna or Raam?

What's your managerial style: like Lord Ram or Lord Krishna?

In Hindu mythology there are two great epics. One is called Ramayan and other is called Mahabharata. The centre story of both these books is around victory of good on evil. In one story Lord Ram leads his army to defeat Ravana in his land,
While in the second Lord Krishna oversees Pandavas defeat Kauravas in the battle at Kurushektra.

In Ramayan, Lord Ram is the best yodhaa of his side.
He leads his army from the front. Strategizes & directs different people to do things which will meet the objectives. His people are happy to follow orders & want to get all the appreciation for being the best executors. Lord Ram set direction & also tells people what to do during difficult times.

Ultimately they won the war & the final outcome was achieved.

On the other hand Lord Krishna told Arjuna, I won't fight the battle. I won't pick up any weapon; I would only be there on ur chariot as a charioteer. And he did what he said. He never picked up the weapon & he never fought.

Still, Pandavas won the war & final outcome was achieved.

So, what was different? It was their managerial style & it was also the type of people who were being lead.
Lord Ram was leading an army of 'MONKEYS' who were not skilled fighters & they were looking for direction. While on other hand,

Lord Krishna was leading Arjuna who was one of the best archer of his time. While Lord Ram's role was to show it & lead from the front,

Krishna played the role of a coach whose job was to remove cobwebs from his protégée's mind. Krishna couldn't teach Arjuna archery but he could definitely help him see things from a very different perspective.

Here are some of the basic differences in two styles:
Lord Ram- A skilled warrior, lead monkeys, was emotional, gave precise roles & instructions, motivated the army to fight for his cause;
Lord Krishna- works with best the professionals, provides strategic clarity, allows team members to take lead, fights for the cause of the team, did not depict his true emotions

Look at ur team/family & reflect what type of leader/parent u are,
One who keeps answering/solving problems for people/kids  Or
Who asks relevant questions from their people/kids so that they can find their own solution.
Are u someone who tells/directs all the time  Or
Someone who clarifies doubts & allows their people/kids to find their own ways.
Are u someone who has monkeys in the team & the way u deal with it
Or u have the brightest experts in their area getting stuck with issues?  

Younger generation doesn't want you to tell or show how things are done, they want to know the meaning of their task and how it makes a difference in this world.
They are Arjuna's who don't necessarily seek more skill/knowledge but they need someone to clarify the cobwebs in their mind, if u still apply Lord Ram's style on them, u are bound to fail as a manager
On the other hand if there are people who aren't skilled enough but rely on ur expertise to sail u through Lord Ram's style is appropriate.

Isn't it good for us to reflect & think what managerial style will bring the best result for u and ur team/family ?

Is it Lord Ram or Lord Krishna?

Still we feel ashamed to follow these activities...

We consider these Vedic activities as insignificant rituals...

Let's respect and honour this culture and imbibe it as much as possible...

be proud that we are a part of such a pure and a scientific culture...

Hindu rituals and its scientific reasons

DID YOU KNOW ??

|| Throwing coins into a river ||
The general reasoning given for this act is that it brings Good Luck. However, scientifically speaking, in the ancient times, most of the currency used was made of copper unlike the stainless steel coins of today. Copper is a vital metal very useful to the human body. Throwing coins in the river was one way our fore-fathers ensured we intake sufficient copper as part of the water as rivers were the only source of drinking water. Making it a custom ensured that all of us follow the practice.

 || NAMASKAR ||
Joining both palms together to greet
In Hindu culture, people greet each other by joining their palms - termed as "Namaskar." The general reason behind this tradition is that greeting by joining both the palms means respect. However, scientifically speaking, joining both hands ensures joining the tips of all the fingers together; which are denoted to the pressure points of eyes, ears, and mind. Pressing them together is said to activate the pressure points which helps us remember that person for a long time. And, no germs since we don't make any physical contact!

 || WOMEN WEAR TOE RINGS ||
Why do Indian women wear toe rings?
Wearing toe rings is not just the significance of married women but there is science behind it. Normally toe rings are worn on the second toe. A particular nerve from the second toe connects the uterus and passes to heart. Wearing toe ring on this finger strengthens the uterus. It will keep it healthy by regulating the blood flow to it and menstrual cycle will be regularized. As Silver is a good conductor, it also absorbs polar energies from the earth and passes it to the body.

|| TILAK ON  FOREHEAD ||
Applying Tilak on the forehead
On the forehead, between the two eyebrows, is a spot that is considered as a major nerve point in human body since ancient times. The Tilak is believed to prevent the loss of "energy", the red 'kumkum' between the eyebrows is said to retain energy in the human body and control the various levels of concentration. While applying kumkum the points on the mid-brow region and Adnya-chakra are automatically pressed. This also facilitates the blood supply to the face muscles.

|| TEMPLE BELLS || 
Why do temples have bells?
People who are visiting the temple should and will Ring the bell before entering the inner sanctum (Garbhagudi or Garbha Gruha or womb-chamber) where the main idol is placed. According to Agama Sastra, the bell is used to give sound for keeping evil forces away and the ring of the bell is pleasant to God. However, the scientific reason behind bells is that their ring clears our mind and helps us stay sharp and keep our full concentration on devotional purpose. These bells are made in such a way that when they produce a sound it creates a unity in the Left and Right parts of our brains. The moment we ring the bell, it produces a sharp and enduring sound which lasts for minimum of 7 seconds in echo mode. The duration of echo is good enough to activate all the seven healing centres in our body. This results in emptying our brain from all negative thoughts.

 || TULSI PLANT ||
Why do we worship 'Tulsi' plant?
Hindu religion has bestowed 'Tulsi', with the status of mother. Also known as 'Sacred or Holy Basil', Tulsi, has been recognized as a religious and spiritual devout in many parts of the world. The vedic sages knew the benefits of Tulsi and that is why they personified it as a Goddess and gave a clear message to the entire community that it needs to be taken care of by the people, literate or illiterate. We try to protect it because it is like Sanjeevani for the mankind. Tulsi has great medicinal properties. It is a remarkable antibiotic. Taking Tulsi everyday in tea or otherwise increases immunity and help the drinker prevent diseases, stabilize his or her health condition, balance his or her body system and most important of all, prolong his or her life. Keeping Tulsi plant at home prevents insects and mosquitoes from entering the house. It is said that snakes do not dare to go near a Tulsi plant. Maybe that is why ancient people would grow lots of Tulsi near their houses.

 || PEEPAL TREE ||
Why do we worship 'Peepal Tree'!
'Peepal' tree is almost useless for an ordinary person, except for its shadow. 'Peepal' does not a have a delicious fruit, its wood is not strong enough for any purpose then why should a common villager or person worship it or even care for it? Our ancestors knew that 'Peepal' is one of the very few trees (or probably the only tree) which produces oxygen even at night. So in order to save this tree because of its unique property they related it to God/religion.

 || SWEET DESSERTS ||
Start with spice, end with sweet
Our ancestors have stressed on the fact that our meals should be started off with something spicy and sweet dishes should be taken towards the end. The significance of this eating practice is that while spicy things activate the digestive juices and acids and ensure that the digestion process goes on smoothly and efficiently, sweets or carbohydrates pulls down the digestive process. Hence, sweets were always recommended to be taken as a last item

 || MEHENDI / HENNA ||
Applying Mehndi/ henna on hands
Besides lending color to the hands, mehndi is a very powerful medicinal herb. Weddings are stressful, and often, the stress causes headaches and fevers. As the wedding day approaches, the excitement mixed with nervous anticipation can take its toll on the bride and groom. Application of mehndi can prevent too much stress because it cools the body and keeps the nerves from becoming tense. This is the reason why mehndi is applied on the hands and feet, which house nerve endings in the body.

|| DIWALI || 
Celebration and cleaning during Diwali
Diwali usually falls in October or November which marks the start of winter season and end of rainy season. Rainy season wasn't a good time for everyone back then; many homes needed repair and renovation after a heavy fall. That is why time before diwali was considered the period during which everyone can indulge in cleaning and beautification of their home. And also take out their winter clothes and pack the summer ones.

|| SUKHASAN || 
Sitting on a floor and eating
This tradition is not just about sitting on floor and eating, it is regarding sitting in the "Sukhasan" position and then eating. Sukhasan is the position we normally use for Yoga asanas. Sitting in this position while eating helps in improving digestion as the circulatory system can focus solely upon digestion and not on our legs dangling from a chair or supporting us while we are standing.

|| SLEEP POSITION || 
Why not to sleep with your head towards North?
Myth is that it invites ghost or death but since says that it is because human body has its own magnetic field (Also known as hearts magnetic field, because the flow of blood) and Earth is a giant magnet. When we sleep with head towards north, our body's magnetic field become completely asymmetrical to the Earth's Magnetic field. That cause problems related to blood pressure and our heart needs to work harder in order to overcome this asymmetry of Magnetic fields. Apart from this another reason is that Our body have significant amount of iron in our blood. When we sleep in this position, iron from the whole body starts to congregate in brain. This can cause headache, Alzheimer's Disease, Cognitive Decline, Parkinson disease and brain degeneration.

 
|| SURYA NAMASKAR ||
Hindus have a tradition of paying regards to Sun God early in the morning by their water offering ritual. It was mainly because looking at Sun rays through water or directly at that time of the day is good for eyes and also by waking up to follow this routine, we become prone to a morning lifestyle and mornings are proven to be the most effective part of the day.

 
|| EAR PIERCING ||
Piercing the ears has a great importance in Indian ethos. Indian physicians and philosophers believe that piercing the ears helps in the development of intellect, power of thinking and decision making faculties. Talkativeness fritters away life energy. Ear piercing helps in speech-restraint. It helps to reduce impertinent behaviour and the ear-channels become free from disorders. This idea appeals to the Western world as well, and so they are getting their ears pierced to wear fancy earrings as a mark of fashion.

 
|| SINDOOR ||
Application of Sindoor or Vermillion
It is interesting to note that that the application of sindoor by married women carries a physiological significance. This is so because Sindoor is prepared by mixing turmeric-lime and the metal mercury. Due to its intrinsic properties, mercury, besides controlling blood pressure also activates sexual drive. This also explains why Sindoor is prohibited for the widows. For best results, Sindoor should be applied right upto the pituitary gland where all our feelings are centered. Mercury is also known for removing stress and strain.

 || CHARANSPARSH ||
The Scientific explanation of touching feet (charan-sparsh)
Usually, the person of whose feet you are touching is either old or pious. When they accept your respect which came from your reduced ego (and is called your shraddha) their hearts emit positive thoughts and energy (which is called their karuna) which reaches you through their hands and toes. In essence, the completed circuit enables flow of energy and increases cosmic energy, switching on a quick connect between two minds and hearts. To an extent, the same is achieved through handshakes and hugs. The nerves that start from our brain spread across all your body. These nerves or wires end in the fingertips of your hand and feet. When you join the fingertips of your hand to those of their opposite feet, a circuit is immediately formed and the energies of two bodies are connected. Your fingers and palms become the 'receptor' of energy and the feet of other person become the 'giver' of energy.

|| TULSI || 
Why should Tulsi not be chewed with teeth?
It is a popular belief that Tulsi is the wife of Lord Vishnu; therefore, chewing it will be a mark of disrespect. However, botanists, in the course of their research, found that Tulsi plant has the maximum of mercury. If raw mercury is applied to teeth, they fall immediately. That's why in Hindu religion, Tulsi leaves are not chewed but swallowed.

 || TILGUL ||
Tilgul is a very colorful and excellent sesame candy made of sesame seeds and jaggery. Til means sesame seeds whereas gul means jaggery in Marathi/ Hindi. Since Makar Sankranti is celebrated in mid winter ideally Tilgul recipe is a combination that helps keep the body warm due to these heat generating ingredients making it a healthy sweet to enjoy. In Ayurveda, Sesame is considered to be an extremely beneficial and strong medicine. Sesame laddu's are beneficial for those children who normally have the problem of bed-wetting in winters.

|| BANGLES ||
Why do Indian women wear Bangles?
Normally the wrist portion is in constant activation on any human. Also the pulse beat in this portion is mostly checked for all sorts of ailments. The Bangles used by women are normally in the wrist part of ones hand and its constant friction increases the blood circulation level. Further more the electricity passing out through outer skin is again reverted to one's own body because of the ring shaped bangles, which has no ends to pass the energy outside but to send it back to the body.

good I need luck!!!!!

New Beginning..........2

Sales, Marketting, Web Development, Business planning, Financial Budgets, Brand Development, Resource management .... bloody hell .. big words .. absolutely tiresome meetings .... and a screwed up weekend ..... that's what it is .... yeah ... the new beginning .....

Business doesn't come easy does it???? and Goals are never easy to achieve ......

I'm on track though [;)]

New Beginning..... 1

There is a new beginning in my life ... whats that?? no no ... its not the girl I am talking about.

Well, I've always been interested in being self employed or business owner, entrepreneur (good words aye?) but I reckon now is a time to start up with something. I have tried number of times to start up on my own, but always had hurdles to overcome; thats life. Its tough ... and not piece of cake, but hope it works. Its been a while since the the concept was concived in my brain, but I have started working on it only since a month.

lets see how it goes, will write about it more .... soon...

Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai....

While I am posting this .. I am lisning to the song Kabhi Kabhi ... a remix version by Bally Sagoo. I love that song. Its mixed with Lounge version ... and its awsome. So why post it here ???

Let me tell you what I like the most about the song, the initial dialogue ... yeah here it is ...

Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein Khayal Aata Hai
Ke Zindagi Teri Zulfo Ke Narm Chao Mein Guzarne Pati

To Shadaab Ho Bhi Sakti Thi Ye Ranj-O-Ghum Ki
Syaahi Jo Dil Pe Chai Hai Tere Nazar Ki Shuwao.N Mein

Kho Bhi Sakti Thi Magar Ye Ho Na Saka
Magar Ye Ho Na Saka Aur Ab Ye Aalam Hai

Ki Tu Nahi Tera Ghum Teri Justaju Bhi Nahi
Guzar Rahi Hai Kuch Is Tarah Zindagi Jaise

Ise Kisi Ke Sahare Ki Aarzu Bhi Nahi
Na Koi Raah Na Manzil Na Roshni Ka Suraag

Bhatak Rahi Hai Andhero Mein Zindagi Meri
Inhi Andheron Mein Reh Jaunga Kabhi Kho Kar

Main Jaanta Hu Meri Ham Nafaz Magar Yuhi
Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein Khayal Aata Hai

Now, you guyz are wondering why is that I have posted this here ??? So let me tell you why ....

Just when I thought of the dialogue, I googled it immediately and got it but that reminded me of something ...

It reminded me of a day in my life. So it was an evening in the year 1996, I remember every bit of it. I was very young and studying in Grade 7 (Standard 7). A friend of mine invited me to his house to spend some time and may be chill out after the tutions. It was holiday the next day and I had nothing to do as usual (hated studies) so I went to his house. Now, ever since he was young he was very much into music and stuffs. So, he pulled up a casset player into his bed room, pulled up this new tape by Bally Sagoo, and made me listen to this song. We listened to this song for atleast 6 - 7 times.

Boom!!!! what happend we dont know but we decided to speak the dialogue ourself ... we obviously didnt remember the dialogue even after listening to it for so many times. So what do we do???

Idea!!!! Lets keep playing the tape, repete and listen to the song again and again to write down the dialogue. We started doing it, and was thinking instead of listening to the whole song we should rewind few times and note down the dialogue. Holly cow!!! we screwed up the casset, and the player both. The thing stopped playing completely, and the casset wont even move ... We were scared till death as he was strictly warned not to play with the tape and spoil it. But hey, we were kids and obviously devil's dominating ... we simply put the player and casset back to where it was in his living room and sliped out of the house.

I remember the incident very well, we laughed a lot after that no doubt. But I guess he had to confess later on that he screwed up, thank God I was saved ....

So ... I still I think somtimes .... i.e. Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein bhi khayal aata hai ... ke woh kya din the ... wah wah ...

hope you had a giggle. ... if not ... visualise the situation remmebering your childhood ... then you may

cheers!!

Laptop buying regime ....

Hey All,

I've been thinking of buying a laptop for a long time and was looking for a good machine to own. The hunt started with requirements like Internet, Office Applicationds and mails. So started the hunt for the laptop with some of the options. Here is the process I followed let me define it as "Laptop Buying Process" you can treat it as Laptop buying guide [;)]

Laptop Buying Process

- Decide your budget

I decided mine upto 500 £ maximum

- Decide your applications and usage.

Mine was as mentioned earlier; internet, office applications and mails.

- Decide if you want more portabiltiy or features. Is it going to be a replacement to your desktop or is it going to be completely mobile applications.

I was a little confused for this point, as if I want a light weight then I wont get features and if I go for features I will get heavy weight so ...

Pause: Laptop Buying process

At this point you pretty much have a baseline of what you should start looking for. Depending on your location you should look out for avaialble options online.

Here is what I used:

- www.ebuyer.co.uk
- www.pcworld.co.uk
- www.amazon.co.uk
- www.currys.co.uk
- www.laptopsdirect.co.uk
- www.dixons.co.uk
- www.dell.co.uk
- www.comet.co.uk

and many more ... but I am sure www.google.com wold be the best way to start if you are now aware abouy the vendors in your country.

So, what do we do after going to these sites ??? here is what should be done

- go to Laptop Category
- Filter the price range first I used 350£ - 550£, now here is where your budget is a little shaken because you tend to filter it a little higher then your budget to make sure you do not missout a good deal. Be careful though
- Filter Screen size you would like depending on your decision if you want mobility or desktop replacement
- Now its time to use your instincts, what brand have you heard / experianced in past ? and what do you prefer out of the list ? filter it. I was quite clear on what I wanted so I filter it to HP / Compaq and Dell home use


After all this, you should pretty much have 15 - 20 options. Now its time to go to Level 2 for filtering.

Option 1: Go to individual Vendor's site and view detailed specifications of the model you find online. These sites are pretty much easy to understand and navigate hence it will be easier for you to choose them according to the description given by vendor about it's capabilities and applications. Or go to advance way of doing it

Options 2:

- Filter it using processor type.

Now how do you decide which processor you want in your laptops, this is like deciding the heart of processor or engine in the car.

First note down the avaialble options Eg: Intel pentium / Dual core / Core 2 duo / Amd Athlon / opteron / Tuerion / ARM Processor etc.

To continue this, you need to go back to your decision about your applications. After referring back to your decisions and applications its time to use www.google.com

User search tags such as Intel Dual core 5800 VS AMD Tuerion X6400

You will get number of sites, and you need to look out for comparison charts. These charts give you mostly all the options that are listed in your applications. After referring to the results you can filter them as per your preferences.

So now its time to filter them using processors.

After filtering it you will be down to Memory and Hard drive preferences.

Remember, memory can be easily upgraded so dont bother about it much, choose it as per your hard drive preferences.

Thats it, job done.

End of Laptop Buying process

After all these I filtered down to few models and then was final on Dell Inspiron 1525 with all the features I wanted.

Boom......

Some thing triggered andthen I thought I should have a little better options for my Graphic card in order to play games and do video editing and photo editing. This made me get into detailed specs more and more. I wanted all ... Nvidia Graphic card, HDMI port, eSATA port and many more features.

After all that, I found the right machine I wanted. Dammn it was way expensive so now I was in a terrible situation ... what to do ... what to buy .. what not to buy ...AAARRRGGGHHHHH

Hmm .. .so no one but myself had to decide waht to do.

Here is what I did

Bought a Sony Play station 3 for a bargain price from a colleague which was almost like new.
Decided to buy Dell Inspiron 1525 for about 450 £

But guess what, still changed my decision on laptop a while back. I bagged a great deal by Dell. A Dell XPS 1530 Gaming machine with great specs. Awaiting delivery within 7 days......

Will soon post more details on PS3 and Dell both.

cheers!!

GM Diet!!! Results

Hey all,

so after all the tough days and schedule and diet. Plenty of water and too frequent visits to loo.... I finally could loose only 2 kilos after the end of the diet.

I do feel more lighter though, so I would say it worked for me first time ... and it worked for me 2nd time too. But this time ... instead of loosing more weight, I think I notice more difference in inches. It may be an illusion, but anyway.

I think I should stick back to my regular diet and don't try any more crash diets, as it seems to be ridiculously difficult and take a lot of efforts.

So, I would recommend this diet to someone who has a very high FAT in the body, as its quite use full to shell off in such case. But someone with average body type and decent BMI, its not that effective.

My first experience was good when I lost about 4.5 kilos but at that time the FAT ratio in my body way way high then now.

So that's all I can say,

Cheers!!!

GM Diet!!! Day 7 - Final Day

ding dong!!! Finally I reached Day 7 ... the final day of the diet. Day 6 was not too tough passed away ... but i had little more rice them allowed with plenty of veggies. Could not resist eating as I was feeling really really hungry.

Also, there is harldy 2 kilos weight loss after 7 days of GM diet, but I notice difference in inches around belly which is a good sign.

During all these days, I skipped only one day for work outs ... otherwise I was working out everyday so even the gain in musles reflects on weight and wont let me loose a lot of weight but fat loss was good i suppose.

Anyways.... was a good experiance once again ...

Hope to shell off some more fat and improve on BMI [;)]

cheers!! Will post tomorrow the total weight loss....

GM Diet!! Day 6

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!

I am sick and tired of it now ... I could not resist eating yesterday ... almost lost patience but then realised that its day 5 and I have slogged for 5 days to achieve something and now at this stage I cant give up.

Thats the reason I said its the most difficult day... day 5 was really hard for me. Just once cup of rice and 6 tomatos ??? dammn a toddler would eat more then that in a day. So as an addition to it I had a bowl of Veggie soup along with an apple.

but hey .... its Day 6 and now I can eat all the veggies and additional a cup of rice ... wow!! Looks like its gonna be easy peasy for me ...

will keep posting....

btw, I checked weight this morning I am down by 2 kilos so far so doesnt look like I am anywhere near to the target (5 kilos)

cheers!!
