Equal Rights v/s Chivalry

Well as u all know i can`t use the car or drive any vehicle of any sort at the moment. So I have have to take the always very crowded bus. Well the conditions are not that bad everyday (that's what I keep repeating to myself). But still there are times when the the public trys to amuse me by displaying their off-key personalities (behavior fit to get them admitted into a mental hospital).

Like today, when we were packed like sardines. Actually even packed sardines I think wud have more room. Well I guess the gods were happy with me today because I was actually sitting when the guy next to me gets up and offers the lady standing, his seat. While she is attemping to sit down, a guy almost pushing her to the ground, (if there was place to fall that is) sits in the seat and smiles broadly at her and seemed definitely very smug and content with himself. Well I said as many evil curses as I knew (but not aloud of course because he did look kinda huge and big).But as they say its the thought that counts.

Anyway I guess the huge and big guy believes in equal rights of both men and women but isn't he taking it a bit too far. It was like actually seeing a chivalrous man of the past first, followed by a sample of life as it is today.

i've had a couple of problems with people barging into a seat I've offered to someone else. Ive never failed to embarass them. I've made them get up and give up their seat. I've also had women who i have offered a seat, be rude & ungrateful. I think it works both ways. theres an awful lot of ill mannered people around.

C'mon I thought you were a fighter! Where's that safety pin I told you to carry about when you need it?!? One good jab n that guy would have thought twice about sitting next to you. Actually use it well and you can have the whole seat all to yourself everyday :)

@ Glenn - Smart move. A very subtle way of letting other know that you belong to the chivalrous category :)

@ Karen - Well i used to carry a safty pin in my pocket but after i poked myself with it. It brought a drastic end to carring any kind of weapons
I decided I am more than enough to deal with any problems.

Solar power revolution in Rajasthan

The desert state is on course to become the biggest producer of solar energy in the world with top Indian companies making a beeline for setting up solar power plants.The die has been cast. The Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Ltd (RRECL), the state nodal agency for promoting and developing nonconventional energy sources, has received 32 proposals to set up 900MW solar power plants. The rush for setting up solar plants is due to incentives offered by the state as well as central government.

Subliminal Messages

Subliminal messages are in images every day. Subliminal tapes are sold by the millions to people that want to motivate themselves with custom subliminal messages. There are subliminal messages in songs. There are even computer programs so you can make your own custom subliminal message to yourself as you watch your computer each day. Scroll down to see why they removed the image from the phone book. The area high-lighted on the image was the reason the image was pulled. Here we see a example of subliminal message is in the Telephone Directory (written) Just check out the palm trees. Another obvious subliminal message EVen the most Popular brands aren`t above this. Lets take COKE for example. Feel the Curves, indeed. I would guess the "curves" are going to be felt when you put this item to your mouth. Think about what the Subliminal Message is to you each time you take a drink of that product. Hidden is a Subliminal message in the lights of the buildings?...
