Art India

Attractive artworks have always been the apples of human being's eyeball. No matter an artwork belongs to which region of the world, great arts have always been appreciated by common people of all over the world. When it comes to the countries that have most outstanding contributions in the modern arts then the name of India comes on the apex position. History says that 'the country of Vedas' has produced a large number of exquisite artworks and majority of them have got huge appreciations in the global arena.

The current market of the contemporary art is booming day by day. Presently, there is a phrase floating around in the artistic community of the nation. According to the experts, the contemporary art market has achieved a tremendous problem and most surprisingly the market is not showing any kind of reverse trend even at the time when India faced record inflammation.

Now let's have a look at some of the interesting facts about the Indian arts, which will help you to understand the current art business.

•  In the present time, the art business is worth about US$40 billion, which is Rs.1,70,000 crore approximately.
• Since the year 2003, the art market of India is growing at an average rate of 20 - 30% per annum.
•  Looking back to the history, in the 1980 artwork by an Indian artist sold in $2500, but in the present time the figure is near about $1 million.
• In a recent report, Fortune magazine has revealed that the art market of India has risen over 485% in the last 10 years. Now, the Indian market is fourth largest and most positive art market of the world.
• The current Indian art business is worth approximately of US$ 0.24 billion, which is Rs.1,000 crore in Indian valuation

So, now you must have got a brief idea about the current scenario of art market. Finally it must be said that Indian art market is growing day by day and the increasing income among the middle-class population is a major reason behind it.

Connecting artist from around the world and providing them a better forum where they contribute artworks, ideas and techniques can help tremendously in Indian Art market.

Alternative energy - Thorium

While i was reading Dr Arindam Chaudhuri's blog "Passionate About India", i found a very interesting fact on alternative energy for India and or may be for the whole world.  

In a Japan like crisis, we should step forward to understand and learn why such powerful nuclear waste and nuclear reactors affect to many of our lives. The fact is Indian government bodies and political parties are busy making scams and are less bothered about consequences that may arise if we continue neglecting the usage of nuclear reactors. Radioactive waste from Uranium and Plutonium when not disposed safe can pollute the environment and when inhaled can cause mutation in our genome and finally lead to all kinds of cancer and other diseases. Instead the government should opt for an alternative fuel  without  producing radioactive waste. The alternative fuel that we can opt according to top scientist are - Solar energy, wind energy and Thorium.

According to Australian science writer Tim Dean, "thorium promises what uranium never delivered: abundant, safe and clean energy - and a way to burn up old radioactive waste." With a thorium nuclear reactor, Dean stresses a number of added benefits: there is no possibility of a meltdown, it generates power inexpensively, it does not produce weapons-grade by-products, and will burn up existing high-level waste as well as nuclear weapon stockpiles. Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, of the British Daily Telegraph, suggests that "Obama could kill fossil fuels overnight with a nuclear dash for thorium," and could put "an end to our dependence on fossil fuels within three to five years." read more Wikipedia) 

If the Indian government take a few more initiatives to make the country self sufficient in power and electricity then young and talented Indian will raise tomorrow. Thorium can be an alternative energy  for India where there are more than 20 nuclear reactors producing tons of nuclear waste at the cost of million lives in near future. And God forbid if Tsunami come back again in India, where almost all the nuclear reactor are on the coastal regions then we would be shattered completely.

Second largest reserves of thorium.
Given India's vast reserves of thorium, harnessing technologies that would use thorium-based nuclear fuels would give India an edge. The country could emerge as an exporter of thorium material or fuels made out of thorium. Also, given India's massive power generating capacity expansion programme, opting for a thorium fuel cycle would make sense.

There are two types of thorium-based nuclear fuels — thorium and uranium and the other, thorium and plutonium. With the first, uranium, will come at a cost while plutonium comes free as it is a by-product of the process. The most dramatic savings happen if you use plutonium. However, fuel accounts for only 6% of costs of a nuclear plant. Indian scientists have already done work on thorium, that puts India in a favourable position.

Given thorium's obvious advantages what accounts for its lack of popularity as a nuclear fuel?
The fact is that there has been little research and development in the nuclear fuel field. R&D in this area has been somewhere between flat and dead in the past 25 years. Thorium Power has an advantage as developing anything in the nuclear sector requires a long-time. Thorium Power's work in the past will give it an edge over companies that are just about starting to explore this field.

Global deposits of thorium:

• 360,000 India
• 300,000 Australia
• 170,000 Norway
• 160,000 United States
• 100,000 Canada
• 35,000 South Africa
• 16,000 Brazil
• 95,000 Others

Thorium could cost a lot less than uranium fuel because it doesn’t need to be enriched to be used as fuel. As stated before, enriched uranium oxide gas costs $1633/kg, and 1-gigawatt nuclear power plants buy about $30 million in fuel annually, which works out to about 20,000 kg. You can read more at the wikipedia entry for the uranium market.

Even if the price of thorium never goes below $50/kg, it still represents a factor-of-32 economy improvement over uranium oxide. If a 1-gigawatt thorium reactor consumes amounts of thorium similar to the amount of uranium consumed by nuclear reactors today, fueling it for a year would only cost $1 milion, using the $50/kg price point, or $200,000, using the $10/kg price point.

For a $40,000 reactor, and $1,000/year in operating costs, we can get enough electricity for 100 people, which is enough to accomplish all sorts of antics, like running thousands of desktop nanofactories non-stop.

For a country like India, it would be wise if we switch to more safer and clean energy. If private equities start spending for techno entrepreneurs country like India, then the one major problem of the country can be solved by generating Power (electricity) and employment.

Greetings to you this Monday morning! - WOA Values.

 Respect for Individual , a WOA value that can help us build fruitful relationships in all walks of life.

Everyday a man would carry to the river a set of pots in his cart, to help him transport water.  All the pots were brightly painted and sturdy, except for one little cracked pot.

The cracked pot would try its best to hold in the water, so that the man would be proud of it, but to no avail,  for on the way back from the river, water would drip from the pot into the ground.



The other pots knew that this little pot was different from them and refused to treat it with respect. Soon the little pot began to doubt itself and asked the man,

“I am a cracked pot, try as I might I cannot hold on to the water inside, why then do you still take me every day and fill me with water?”

The man answered to all the pots. “This little cracked pot deserves more respect from all of you. While you merely transport water, I can replace you at any time, but look below, I have planted little flowers all the way from my home to the river. When I fill this cracked pot with water, the water drips down, falling on the dry earth and making the plants grow.”

The other pots were silent.

 let us try to respect and appreciate the differences of all that we meet and make it a great week ahead _____

Festivals . . .Holi hai . .

The colorful festival of Holi is celebrated on Phalgun Purnima which comes in February end or early March. Holi festival has an ancient origin and celebrates the triumph of 'good' over 'bad'. The colorful festival bridges the social gap and renew sweet relationships. On this day, people hug and wish each other 'Happy Holi'.

Holi celebration begins with lighting up of bonfire on the Holi eve. Numerous legends & stories associated with Holi celebration makes the festival more exuberant and vivid. People rub 'gulal' and 'abeer' on each others' faces and cheer up saying, "bura na maano Holi hai".


Holi also gives a wonderful chance to send blessings and love to dear ones wrapped in a special Holi gift.

Holi SMS -

"If wishes come in rainbow colors then,

I would send the brightest one to say Happy Holi."

"Lal, gulabi, neela, pila hathon me liya samet,

Holi ke din rangenge sajni, kar ke meethi bhent."

YAOSHANG (DOL JATRA)

Another important religious festival of Manipur is Yaoshang.

The Yaoshang festival is called ‘festival of colors’.During the Yaoshang festival the people of Manipur joyously apply natural made colors called holi or ‘gulal’ on each other. 

This Yaoshang festival is also popularly known as ‘Dol Jatra’.

DOL JATRA -  Thabal Chongba Dance.

‘Dol Jatra’ is dedicated to Lord Krishna.

An inseparable part of this festival is the Thabal Chongba dance.

The composite term ‘Dol Jatra’ is made up of the two Sanskrit words: ‘dol’ and ‘jatra’. The connotation of the term ‘Dol’ is the idol of Lord Krishna; while the meaning of the Sanskrit word ‘Jatra’ is ‘journey’.

Therefore, the meaning of the composite term ‘Dol Jatra’ is the ‘Journey of the idol of Lord Krishna’.
