Coming back to the schooldays We have returned from Kerala Vacation and the School Days are back.Though now Raipur is the Capital of Chattisgarh it had been a big Village when i was doing my Schooling.We use to live in a place called Raja Talab which in English translates to King Pond.
Near to that is the place called Shanti Nagar,Shanker nagar etc;All had few houses and known people.My School holy Cross Convent is in a place called Byron bazar.
It is a Catholic Convent School Run by the Missionary Fathers and Nuns.They were very strict in the matter of education and discipline.Sports was always encouraged and Curricular activities were given extra marks.Most of the teachers were Highly Qualified Locales,Anglo Indians or Nuns.
Class consisted of Sindhis,Punjabis,Bengalis,marathas,Marwaris ,Gujratis,Tamil,Telugu,oriyas and Malayalees.Very few Upites,Biharis.

Loyal Malayalee
One of the best or worst thing that we notice would be the Loyalty of a Malayalee.
Some of the products that had always been used by Malayalees from so many Decades are given below.
Talcum powder has to Cutticura or Ponds and no malayalee would go for anything different.
Soaps are Cinthol,Lifebouy and Chandrika and for small infants it has to be Pears and Johnson's.
Hair Oil would be Coconut oil,Gingelly oil.It is also used for cooking as well.Besides different Types of Ayurvedic Oils are used for body Massage.

Now many wear pants and Shirts.Louis Phillipe is the Favorite but many also prefer Peter England.Bra and panties of MyBra and Juliet had been favorite for kerala Ladies and Gents prefer Tantex Underwear and Baniyan.
Another famous dress worn by malayalee Women is the Nighties which is worn even whole Day and wouldn't mind even going to Shops and Hospital etc wearing it.Any where in the world if a lady is Spotted with Nightie then in all probability she would be a malayalee!!

Nuclear Deal - Empowering India
In my previous article I mentioned about the job opportunities that India could achieve as a Nuclear Power.Besides how Indians would be much in demand building nuclear plants around the world.Here are some of the Industries that could benefit in India from the Deal.
1)Defence and Space .
2)Medicine - There will a Huge progress in the Field of Nuclear Medicine.
3)Oil and Electronics.
4)Mining and Power industry.
5)Components Business :There will be a great deal of opportunity for Civilian Nuclear Energy Components Business.
When Comparison is made to China we would notice that Chinese too have nuclear plants but they use 'Sunset technology' - Stuff that is no more competitive.
How I hope Dr.Manmohan Singh could Lead the Nation for at least 5 more years as it would Definitely make India a Leading Force to be Reckoned by the World!
