It is already the worlds tallest man made structure and it is still not scheduled to be completed for at least another year.   The Al Burj.

This is a rendered image of another future indoor skiing facility that is being planned.   Some of the tallest buildings in the world, such as Ocean Heights and The The UAE Spaceport would be the first spaceport in the world if construction ever gets under way.  I'm not joking...     Some other crazy .. The Dubai Metro system, once completed, will become the largest fully automated rail system in the world. The Dubai World Central , International Airport will become the largest airport in size when it is completed.  It will also eventually become the busiest airport in the world, based on passenger volume.

Charles Schultz Philosophy


The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.




How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.



Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.



Easier?

The lesson:

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care.



Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.

'Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.
It's already tomorrow in Australia ' (Charles Schultz)

To all my loved ones

 

Have you ever been just sitting there and all of a sudden you feel like doing something nice for someone you care for? THAT'S GOD talking to you…
Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems to be around for you to talk to? THAT'S GOD wanting you to talk to Him.
Have you ever received something wonderful that you didn't even ask for, like money in the mail, a debt that had mysteriously been cleared, or a coupon to a department store where you had just seen something you needed, but couldn't afford? THAT'S GOD knowing the desires of your heart…
Have you ever been in a situation and you had no clue how it was going to get better, how the hurting would stop, how the pain would ease, but now you look back on it.
THAT'S GOD passing us through tribulation to see a brighter day!
Do you think that this e-mail was accidentally sent to you?
Keep this going. You have no idea which one of Your e-mail buddies could use a little hope today
Dear God..

I know you're watching over me And I'm feeling truly blessed For no matter what I pray for You always know what's best!

I have this circle of E-mail friends, Who mean a lot to me; Some days I 'send' and 'send,' At other times, I let them be.

I am so blessed to have these friends, with whom I've grown so close; So this little poem I dedicate to them, Because to me they are the 'Most'!

When I see each name download, And view the message they've sent; I know they've thought of me that day, And 'well wishes' were their intent.

So to you, my friends, I would like to say, thank you for being a part; Of all my daily contacts, This comes right from my heart.

God bless you all is my prayer today, I'm honored to call you 'friend'; I pray God will keep you safe, Until we write again.

"Nehru Dynasty" - Interesting History

Very Very interesting… just read everything…

Subject: "Nehru Dynasty" - Interesting History

VERY INTERESTING HISTORY!

At the very beginning of his book, 'The Nehru Dynasty', astrologer K.N. Rao mentions the names of Jawaharlal's father and grandfather.

Jawaharlal's father was believed to be Motilal and Motilal's father was one Gangadhar Nehru.

 

We all know that Jawaharlal's only daughter was Indira Priyadarshini Nehru; Kamala Nehru was her mother, who died in Switzerland of tuberculosis. She was totally against Indira's proposed marriage with Feroze.  Why? No one tells us that! 

Now, who is this Feroze?  We are told by many that he was the son of the family grocer.  The grocer supplied wines, etc. to Anand Bhavan (previously known as Ishrat Manzil)  

 

What was the family grocer's name?

One frequently hears that Rajiv Gandhi's grandfather was Pandit Nehru. But then we all know that everyone has two grandfathers, the paternal and the maternal grandfathers.

In fact, the paternal grandfather is deemed to be the more important grandfather in most societies. 

 

Why is it then, nowhere, we find Rajiv Gandhi's paternal grandfather's name?  It appears that the reason is simply. Rajiv Gandhi's paternal grandfather was a Muslim gentleman from the Junagadh area of Gujarat.

 

This Muslim grocer by the name of Nawab Khan, had married a Parsi woman after converting her to Islam.

 

This is the source where from the myth of Rajiv being a Parsi was derived. Rajiv's father Feroze, was Feroze Khan before he married Indira, against Kamala Nehru's wishes. 

 

Feroze's mother's family name was Ghandy, often associated with Parsis and this was changed to Gandhi, sometime before his wedding with Indira, by an affidavit.

 

The fact of the matter is that (and this fact can be found in many writings) Indira was very lonely. Chased out of the Shantiniketan University by Guru Dev Rabindranath himself for misdemeanour, the lonely girl was all by herself, while father Jawaharlal was busy with politics, pretty women and illicit sex, the mother was in hospital.

 

Feroze Khan, the grocer's son was then in England and he was quite sympathetic to Indira and soon enough she changed her religion, became a Muslim woman and married Feroze Khan in a London mosque.

 

Nehru was not happy, Kamala was dead already or dying. The news of this marriage eventually reached Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (better known as Mahatma Gandhi) .

Gandhi urgently called Nehru and practically ordered him to ask the young man to change his name from Khan to Gandhi. It had nothing to do with change of religion, from Islam to Hinduism for instance.  It was just a case of a change of name by an affidavit.  And so Feroze Khan became Feroze Gandhi. 

 

The surprising thing is that the apostle of truth, the old man soon to be declared India's Mahatma and the 'Father of the Nation' didn't mention this game of his in the famous book, 'My Experiments with Truth'.  Why?

  

When they returned to India, amock 'Vedic marriage' was instituted for public consumption.

 

On this subject, writes M.O. Mathai (a long-time Private Secretary of Nehru) in his renowned (but now suppressed by the GOI! ) 'Reminiscences of the Nehru Age' on page 94, second paragraph: ' For some inexplicable reason, Nehru allowed the marriage to be performed according to Vedic rites in 1942.  An inter-religious and inter-caste marriage under Vedic rites at that time was not valid in law. To be legal, it had to be a civil  marriage .' 

 

It's a known fact that after Rajiv's birth Indira and Feroze lived separately, but they were not divorced.  Feroze used to harass Nehru frequently for money and also interfere in Nehru's political activities. Nehru got fed up and left instructions not to allow him into the Prime Minister's residence Trimurthi Bhavan.

Mathai writes that the death of Feroze came as a relief to Nehru and Indira. The death of Feroze in 1960 before he could consolidate his own political forces, is itself a mystery. Feroze had even planned to remarry.

 

Those who try to keep tabs on our leaders in spite of all the suppressions and deliberate misinformation, are aware of the fact that the second son of Indira (or Mrs.Feroze Khan) known as Sanjay Gandhi was not the son of Feroze.  He was the son of another Muslim gentleman, Mohammad Yunus.

 

Here in passing, we might mention that the second son was originally named Sanjiv. It rhymed with Rajiv, the elder brother's name.  It was changed to Sanjay when he was arrested by the British police in England and his passport impounded, for having stolen a car.

 

Krishna Menon was then India's High Commissioner in London. He offered to issue another passport to the felon who changed his name to Sanjay.   Incidentally, Sanjay's marriage with the Sikh girl Menaka (now they call her Maneka for Indira Gandhi found the name of mythological Lord Indra's Court dancer rather offensive !!) took place quite surprisingly in Mohammad Yunus's house in New Delhi .  

 

The marriage with Menaka who was a model (She had model for Bombay Dyeing wearing just a towel) was not so ordinary either.  Sanjay was notorious in getting unwed young women pregnant.  Menaka too was rendered pregnant by Sanjay.  

It was then that her father, Colonel Anand, threatened Sanjay with dire consequences if he did not marry her daughter and that did the trick.

 

Sanjay married Menaka. It was widely reported in Delhi at the time that Mohammad Yunus was unhappy at the marriage of Sanjay with Menaka.  Apparently he had wanted to get him married with a Muslim girl of his choice.  It was Mohammad Yunus who cried the most when Sanjay died in the plane accident. 

 

In Yunus's book, 'Persons, Passions & Politics' one discovers that baby Sanjay had been circumcised following Islamic custom, although the reason stated was phimosis.  It was always believed that Sanjay used to blackmail Indira Gandhi and due to this she used to turn a blind eye when Sanjay Gandhi started to run the country as though it were his personal freedom.  Was he black mailing her with the secret of who his real father was?  When the news of Sanjay's death reached Indira Gandhi, the first thing she wanted to know was about the bunch of keys which Sanjay had with him. 

 

Nehru was no less a player in producing bastards.  At least one case is very graphically described by M.O. Mathai in his 'Reminiscences of the Nehru Age', page 206.  

 

Mathai writes:

'In the autumn of 1948 a young woman from Benares arrived in New Delhi as a sanyasini named Shraddha Mata (an assumed and not a real name). She was a Sanskrit scholar well versed in the ancient Indian scriptures and mythology.  People, including MPs, thronged to her to hear her discourses. One day S.D. Upadhyaya, Nehru's old employee, brought a letter in Hindi from Shraddha Mata. Nehru gave her an interview in the PM's house.  As she departed, I noticed (Mathai is speaking here) that she was young, shapely and beautiful.  Meetings of Nehru with her became rather frequent, mostly after he finished his work at night.  During one of Nehru's visits to Lucknow, Shraddha Mata turned up there and Upadhyaya brought a letter from her as usual. Nehru sent her the reply and she visited Nehru at  midnight...'  Suddenly Shraddha Mata disappeared. 

  

In November 1949 a convent in Bangalore sent a decent looking person to Delhi with a bundle of letters. He said that a young woman from northern India arrived at the convent a few months ago and gave birth to a baby boy. She refused to divulge her name or give any particulars about herself.  She left the convent as soon as she was well enough to move out but left the child behind.  

 

She however forgot to take with her a small cloth bundle in which, among other things, several letters in Hindi were found. The Mother Superior, who was a foreigner, had the letters examined and was told they were from the Prime Minister.  

The person who brought the letters surrendered them...'I (Mathai) made discreet inquiries repeatedly about the boy but failed to get a clue about his whereabouts. Convents in such matters are extremely tight-lipped and secretive. 

 

Had I succeeded in locating the boy, I would have adopted him. He must have grown up as a Catholic Christian blissfully ignorant of who his father was.'

 

Coming back to Rajiv Gandhi, we all know now that he changed his so called Parsi religion to become a Catholic to marry Sania Maino of Turin, Italy.  Rajiv became Roberto.  His daughter's name is Bianca and son's name is Raul.  Quite cleverly the same names are presented to the people of India as Priyanka and Rahul.

 

What is amazing is the extent of our people's ignorance in such matters. The press conference that Rajiv Gandhi gave in London after taking over as Prime minister of India was very informative. In this press conference, Rajiv boasted that he was NOT a Hindu but a Parsi.  Mind you, speaking of the Parsi religion, he had no Parsi ancestor at all.  His grandmother (father's mother) had turned Muslim after having abandoned the Parsi religion to marry Nawab Khan.  

  

It is the western press that waged a blitz of misinformation on behalf of Rajiv. From the New York Times to the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post, the big guns raised Rajiv to heaven.  The children's encyclopaedias recorded that Rajiv was a qualified Mechanical Engineer from the revered University of Cambridge. No doubt US kids are among the most misinformed in the world today!  The reality is that in all three years of his tenure at  that University Rajiv had not passed a single exam. He had therefore to leave Cambridge without a certificate. 

 

Sonia too had the same benevolent treatment. She was stated to be a student in Cambridge. Such a description is calculated to mislead Indians. She was a student in Cambridge all right, but not of the University of Cambridge, but of one of those fly by night language schools where foreign students come to learn English. Sonia was working as an 'au pair' girl in Cambridge and trying to learn English at the same time.  And surprise of surprises, Rajiv was even cremated as per Vedic rites in full view of India's public. 

 

This is the Nehru dynasty that India worships and now a foreigner leads a prestigious national party because of just one qualification being married into the Nehru family.  Maneka Gandhi, though Indian, herself is being accepted by the non-Congress parties not because she was a former model or an animal lover, but for her links to the Nehru family. 

 

Saying that an Italian (or any foreigner) should not lead India will amount to narrow mindedness, but if Sania Maino (now Sonia) had served India like, say, Mother Teresa or Annie Besant, i.e. in any way on her own rights, then all Indians should be proud of her just as how proud we are of Mother Teresa.   OR

Saying that any other party which comes to rule India is better is again equally worse.   

 

The point is Indians who nominate the people to stand in these elections; and the people who vote their rulers (i.e. the authorities) must know that truth eventually come out some day.   Don't allow the famous land of India  (our motherland) to be looked down by others.
