Driving Directions for India

Hey guys, just heard of something cool. Yahoo Maps India just released driving directions for India. Something unique about these directions is that they are structured in the “indian directions” way meaning they use landmarks more than street names, etc.

Try it out here and see what you think:
directions from goregaon to andheri

This is the first launch, so the directions may not be the best (you guys probably know more), but take a look and see what you think!

PS - if you are not going to drive, they even tell you an estimated rickshaw fare!

Save a Life, Know STROKE

Subject: Fw: Youcouldsavealife
Importance: High

some useful tips to remember….

You could save a life.

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters… S.T.R .

My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance)

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid’s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.)
She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.

Some don’t die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this…

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Remember the “3″ steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.
The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions :

S * Ask the individual to SMILE .
T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg ” It is sunny out today”).
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS .

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 999 immediately!! and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

NOTE : Another ’sign’ of a stroke is

1. Ask the person to ’stick’ out their tongue.
2. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

….and it could be your own…..

PASS THIS ON….

History of Religion

This is one of the best videos explaining various world religions from start till date though Jainism is missing. If i am not wrong, Jainism prevailed before the birth of Krishna. I haven’t seen a better and effective way to present stuff in 90 seconds, interesting..eh?
Here’s a link to the original post - http://www.mapsofwar.com/ind…
