SMS TO DONATE IS BORN TODAY ...http://smstodonate.webs.com/

I was taking my evening walk. It was one of those days when i could not help someone. I was wondering that there was so much pain in the world. Ever since i had started IBD there were many people who would contact me for help Blood, Financial Help, Organs Donation for a near and dear one . I would see children who were intelligent did not have access to books. Patients needed medicines but did not have access to medical care. Destitutes did not have food to eat . Nor clothes to wear. There were so many who had everything in the world but still wanted more. I wished i could make a difference in the lives of the underpriveleged. I thought that if i was as rich as Mr Mukesh Ambani or Mr Laxmi Mittal ( i really dont know why this thought struck me, may be because they are the richest Indians) i could change the face of India and maybe help so many people. But i could not do that i was not Mr Mukesh Ambani or Mr Laxmi Mittal. I felt very helpless that i did not have the resources to reach out to so many people which i wanted to.

Ting Ting..Ting Ting. I had received an SMS on my mobile. I checked up the SMS. It was another of the Santa Banta sms Jokes. I wondered why people waste so much money . If only they used their resources for some constructive use....Hey i thought can i use mobile technology to some good use. Can i ask people to send a sms towards a cause and donate the cost of the SMS to a cause. Can i motivate people to donate ?

Sewage system pact a boost for Yamuna cleanup

New Delhi: You might finally see the Yamuna flowing ceaselessly, free of stench and squalour. The drive to clean the river by 2010 Commonwealth Games got another fillip on Monday when Delhi Jal Board (DJB) and Engineers India Limited (EIL) formally signed a contract for the ambitious interceptor sewage system. This paves way for EIL to begin work on the project, two months after it was granted permission by the Cabinet. ''The signing of the contract only formalizes the process which had been underway for the past two months. EIL's ground study will be over in another six months after which work will start,'' DJB CEO Arun Mathur said. The Rs 4,000-crore scheme is the best option with the government to get the river clean in time for the Games, he said. The system proposes the laying of interceptor drains along the three main drains in the city — Najafgarh, Shahdara and Supplementary. The interceptors will trap sewage from all small drains and carry it to sewage treatment plants before emptying it into the main drains. Mathur said that the system would also ensure that even when 15,000 unauthorized colonies are not connected to the sewage system — the work on these should take about 25 years — their waste would be picked up by the interceptor system that would take it to the sewage treatment plant. DJB also intends cutting down costs on the project by making the interceptors only on one side of the drain. For smaller drains, trenchless technology would be used to carry the untreated water to the interceptor from under the main drain. The Bela Road and Ring Road trunk sewers will be rehabilitated so that sewage from the 13 drains emptying into it is taken to the Okhla plant for treatment before being emptied into the river. Reacting to criticism that DJB would only add more drains to its already unmanageable infrastructure, the official added: ''We are looking at a maintenance contract where the organisation that lays the drain will be responsible for its cleaning.''

Techie builds air-car!entrepreneur from Guwahati, Assam

Bangalore: Kanak Gogoi, a 12th passed entrepreneur from Guwahati, has over a dozen innovations, from gravity-operated bicycle to a car which can run on air. But he regrets the government's negligence towards scientific innovations, and refuses to commercialize any of his creations.

Gogoi said, "Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) offered to build a fully furnished lab for me in Guwahati. The Chief Minister had granted me about 1.6 acres of land in 2007, but the file is still lying untouched at the local administrative office." 

Talking about slow moving files, another of Gogoi's invention is the speed breaker that can generate electricity simply when vehicles pass over it.
