Women power , Mamata, Jaya the winners

Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress decimated the Left Front after its 34-year-old imperious rule in West Bengal, taking out at the same time the leader and face of the red combine, former chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee.

In Tamil Nadu, the electorate gave a resounding verdict against DMK corruption, bringing back to power J Jayalalitha who faces a few corruption cases herself.

But the DMK's telecom graft -- the largest in the country's history -- swept the incumbents out of Tamil Nadu.

In Kerala, after a hard day's neck and neck fight, the UDF won by a razor-thin margin of 72-68.

In Assam, the ruling Congress emerged as the single largest party in contention for a third successive term.

Another close fight -- this time in Puducherry between the Congress alliance and the All-India NR Congress -- didn't go well in the Congress' favour at the end of the day.

At the threshold of much-needed change in West Bengal, Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee simply said: "I will be happy if people triumph."

And, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee put in his papers early afternoon. He was trailing then.

Bhattacharjee finally lost by over 16,000 votes from Jadavpur in South Kolkata. His Trinamool opponent was former chief secretary Manish Gupta who served under him.

M Karunanidhi followed suit and resigned a little before 3 pm, even before the final tally had come in. Karunanidhi won by over 50,000 votes from Tiruvarur.

Riding a wave of change in a state where Left ideology ruled the roost for over three decades, Mamata along with allies Congress and SUCI gave a severe thrashing to the Left Front. The Banerjee-led alliance was set to capture over two-thirds majority by winning over 225 seats in the 294 seat Assembly. Mamata, Railway Minister at the Centre, did not contest the elections.

Key to the secret of ageing.

Girl who doesn't age may hold key to ageing.
London, May 9 (ANI): American scientists are keenly studying the DNA of a 17-year-old girl who still has the body and behaviour of a baby, hoping to gain new insights into the mysteries of ageing.

At 16lb in weight and just 30in tall, Brooke Greenberg is still the size of a one-year-old.

According to a preliminary study of her DNA, her failure to grow could be linked to defects in the genes that make the rest of humanity grow old.

If confirmed, the research could give scientists a fresh understanding of ageing and even suggest new therapies for diseases linked to old age, reports The Times.

"We think that Brooke's condition presents us with a unique opportunity to understand the process of ageing," said Richard Walker, a professor at the University of South Florida School of Medicine, who is leading the research team.

"We think that she has a mutation in the genes that control her ageing and development so that she appears to have been frozen in time.

"If we can compare her genome to the normal version then we might be able to find those genes and see exactly what they do and how to control them."

Womens Day,Importance of a woman,womens,wake up guys,Respect womens,

To all the guys who read this…..please read fully and understand…………..

To all the girls who read this……….. An excellent forward……please read fully..... and forward to the boys you know……….

This is a beautiful article:
The woman in your life...very well expressed...
Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well.

Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;
Who is earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as
you have because she is as human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your
Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system
that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as
much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family ,name

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook
food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more,

and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother,
a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as
to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't , simply
Because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise

One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important,
relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some
and trust her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this......

Please appreciate "HER"

I hope you will do....







So Please Respect Her.

Womens Day 8thmarch2010

International women day is recognised across the world in celebration of women´s achievements in all areas of our society. In some parts of the world, this day is celebrated by a national holiday, raising awareness and funding for projects that can enrich women´s lives.

Women have always been at the heart of human development, but they find themselves at the margins of most societies, despite major advances and a constant promotion of women development world wide. In many countries in Africa women´s position within society has not changed much in over 50 years, cultural beliefs and taboo ensures that women´s roles remain invincible and their efforts recognised for almost little or no reward.

International women´s day started in 1911 with calls for a closing of the gender gap, for women to be paid as much as men and for all women to be offered the same privileges usually bestowed on man.

International women´s day in Africa is a serious affair. Women´s lives are burdened excessively. In both urban and rural Africa women work from 7am to 7pm. Especially in rural Africa; women can be burdened by domestic chores, taking care of their kids and other activities to support their families.

In many parts of Africa there is very little investment in girls. There is a general perception that if too much energy time and resources is spent on girls, they would more than likely get married and leave the home taking away much needed investment. In many parts of Africa women cannot own land nor control the earning made of that land. Inheritance is usually passed on directly to men ignoring women all together.

Africa must recognise women´s contribution. Women burdened life style must be changed. Women cannot remain invincible. Women have to be empowered through education and a highlighting of their important role in society. An educated women can influence decision making with their husbands at home and members of the community. It is these actions that can ensure that the roles of women become fully recognised leading to better rewards.

Women´s roles across Africa are changing, much faster than we are willing to give credit for. Critics will say not fast enough. We have also seen many large institutions increase their female participation and quota for senior positions. We must acknowledge, that Africa has its first female president in Liberia and in Rwanda; female members of parliament out number their male counterparts. This is unheard off in the entire world, outstripping both the British and American parliaments.

We can see clearly how an educated, empowered and resourceful women; can achieve to great heights; especially when opportunity is readily made available. Calls for women to have better control and more say in their lives, is a noble and welcome call from an ever changing world.
HATS OFF TO ALL THE WOMENS IN THIS WORLD AND PROUD TO BE WOMAN.
