Yahoo's Affiliation with Amazon

One latest news about yahoo is that yahoo is trying to provide ease to its customers by allowing them to tap to third party service. In the world of internet, users are always trying to simplify their online experience. Users would prefer to go to one site that would give them access to different third party services where they would be able to listen to songs, watch movies or shop online. With the availability of a website that not only allows them to check their email, but also connect to other third party services, send photo albums, etc. it would definitely be convenient for the users to log into one website rather than go to several different websites. As yahoo is using its webpage to not only provide convenient services like email and the ability to send photo albums through user’s inbox, it is also providing users with the ability to go to third party services. Users would be able to shop through their website by going to Amazon.com, order movies online by going to Netflix. This will impact IT by opening a new technology which is convenient to online users, hence resulting in a boost in the number of internet users.

Unique tradition

Nepal is a hindu country. Majority of Nepalese follow hinduism. One of the unique aspect of this religion is goddess KUMARI. She is an actual living goddess, worshiped by nepalese as the incarnation of a diety transformed into a physical human body.
A girl in the age between four to seven years , who belong to specific caste( tribe) with a appropriate horoscope is selected to become KUMARI on the basis of her thirty- two attributes of perfection , including color of eye, shape of teeth, flawless skin ( without anu cuts) nice voice, etc etc.
After becoming KUMARI , the girl is taken into a traditional home which is especially designed for KUMARI's. She has to live in total isolation from her family and society, no formal education is given .She has to dress in red and paint third eye in her forehead.
Thousands of people gather to see the living goddess and to seek the blessings from her in special occasions.

Her(Kumari) godhood comes to an end with her first menstruation. She is no longer considered goddess after that. It is believed that she becomes mortal and turns into normal human being again. Saddest part is , it is said to be unlucky to marry an Ex- KUMARI. And again, search for new KUMARI will begin.
It is one of the oldest tradition that still continues to this day in Nepal.

Soda: Thirst quencher or slow poison

I want to share real secret of carbonated drinks with you all. Carbonated drink is like a mixture of spoon of poison with a glass of water.This poison goes by many brand names such as coca-cola,pepsi,Dr. pepper etc etc.
The United States ranks first among countries in soft drink consuption because of the excessive advertisement. Companies spend millions of dollar on promotional activities. The other reason is due to its cheap price. Retailers sell them for less than dollar a bottle.

People drink carbonated soda to quench their thirst but in real it dehydrates your body. These kinds of soft drinks are unsafe to our health . It contains very hazardeous chemicals . This is the main cause for dangerous diseases like obesity, tooth decay, heart disease,kidney stones, esophageal cancer due to chemicals like phosphate,caffine, sugar and artificial colorings.

So, it is important to be aware of the harmful effects of such beverage.All i can suggest you is to try less consumption of soda, drink water instead. It will benefit yout health and wallet.

Something about Buddhism
Buddha was born in an ancient place called Lumbini, in Nepal on the date, 640 B.C, the only child of King Soddodhan and Queen Maya Devi. Buddha was named Siddhartha at the time of his birth. He was a royalty and the future King. There is a myth associated with his birth. It was said that during the time when Buddha entered the world the gods themselves prepared the way before him with different signs. Flowers bloomed and gentle rains fell, although out of season; heavenly music was heard, delicious scents filled the air. It is said that his body had many auspicious marks which showed his future greatness. His mother passed away 7 days after his birth.
On the birth of the child, Siddhartha, the astrologers predicted to his father that the child, on attaining manhood, would become either a universal monarch or abandon his kingdom and would assume the robe of a monk and become a Buddha, a perfectly enlightened soul, for the salvation of mankind.At the age of twenty-nine, Siddhartha Gautama suddenly abandoned his palace to devote himself entirely to spiritual pursuits and Yogic practices.The sight of an old man, a sick man, a corpse and a monk finally induced Siddhartha to renounce the world. He felt that he also would become a prey to old age, disease and death.Also, he noticed the dynamic personality of the monk. He thought to himself that he would go beyond the miseries of this worldly life by renouncing this world of miseries and sorrows. He thought, he is also a subject to decay and not free from the effect of old age. This worldly happiness is transitoryGautama left for ever his home, wealth, power, father, wife and his child. He shaved his head and dressed as a monk to find the solution.he determined to undertake Yogic practices. He practiced severe breathing control techniques. He determined to attain the supreme peace by practicing self-mortification. He started meditating with strong determination to find the solution. He came out victorious with full illumination. He attained Nirvana(eternal peace). His heart was filled with profound mercy and compassion. He was enlightened.
Lord Buddha preached that we will have to find out the cause of sorrow and the way to escape from it. The desire for sensual enjoyment and clinging to earthly life is the cause of sorrow. If we can eradicate desire, all sorrows and pains will come to an end. We will enjoy Nirvana or eternal peace. He put down Eight Fold Paths, and one who follows it will be free of sorrow. This is the basic teachings of Buddhism. It is also know as practical religion because it is based upon the reality of life.
Buddha was a benevolent man and his teachings are all around the world today. He is a savior, an inspirer and a redeemer
