Micro-climates in Large Indian Urban Cities Contribute significantly to higher temperatures

Last updated on: January 10, 2013 at 8:51 am By Desh Kapoor

Large Indian cities – specifically Delhi and Mumbai – are adding significantly to the climate issues around those areas. The heat index that these cities have due to concrete structures, population and pollution also impacts the smaller towns and areas nearby. Now, Indian government-backed research shows that both Delhi andIndia‘s biggest city, Mumbai, are becoming “urban heat islands”, with significantly different climates to their surrounding rural areas. Preliminary findings from the Delhi-based Energy and Resources Institute (Teri) show that temperatures in both... Read more

Two reasons why Pakistani Army is Encouraged to hit at India at will

Last updated on: January 10, 2013 at 7:44 am By Desh Kapoor

Brahma Chellaney shares some important points on what issues face India in its Pakistan policy. He is of the view that India has presented itself as a weak nation and has abandoned the vigor to go after the main issues, including terrorism. It is a shame that in a hurry to resume talks India has delinked them from Terrorism itself. The Pakistani military is drawing encouragement from two factors. The first factor is that the US-Pakistan relationship, after being on... Read more

Indian Jawans’ Beheading by Pakistani Army: Ill-informed Indian TV anchors, ill-prepared debaters and aggressive but lying Pakistani media sociopaths

Last updated on: January 9, 2013 at 9:59 pm By Desh Kapoor

Two Indian soldiers have been beheaded. As we discussed this is an extremely barbaric act and an inhuman behavior. Even animals can do better than that. I have put two videos at the bottom of the post which you should view. One is the Rajdeep Sardesai’s program and the other is Arnab Goswami’s program. Both have Pakistani “guests” and “analysts” talking. Both try their best to get to the facts but they are being heckled by the Pakistani guests. Before... Read more

If you are Drinking Soda, specially Diet, you are Clinically Depressed; or soon will be

Last updated on: January 9, 2013 at 7:44 pm By Desh Kapoor

We know sodas are bad for health and body. But beyond the bodily impact, Sodas seem to be really harmful for the mind as well. In a preliminary release of a study to be published Honglei Chen and colleagues from the National Institutes of Health, a survey of 263,925 adults nationwide indicated that consumption of sweetened drinks—especially diet sodas—was associated with an increased chance of a depression diagnosis. What the team found in this research was that yes, Sodas were bad,... Read more

Last updated on: January 9, 2013 at 7:44 am By Desh Kapoor

The following talk was given on April 24, 1971, New York and has been taken from “Awakening of Intelligence” by J. Krishnamurti. I would like to talk about relationship, about what love is, about human existence in which is involved our daily living, the problems one has, the conflicts, the pleasures and the fears, and that most extraordinary thing one calls death. I think one has to understand, not as a theory, not as a speculative, entertaining concept, but... Read more
