Parking at Sedo

Parking your car costs you money while parking your domain pays you money. I had a few domains that I registered out of fancy, and I just put them up for sale at sedo.com, and guess what, 2 of them sold for $250 each and another 1 for about 400, and I had never expected to get anything more than $50 for those domains.

This is a cool business, buy domains that you think are cool, and put them up for sale, and interested parties might come forward to buy it.

The Cost of Hospitalization

People always blame hospitals for charging a lot of money for even the most basic medical help. But it is actually the cost of the medications, the equipment that they use, what they pay for having good doctors on board, and for maintaining the buildings for Gods sake. Imagine all that. That is a lot of money. And the next time you step into the hospital, note all these things closely, and you will find out why you are being charged a lot.

Well, if you really hate paying those huge medical bills, you can always make your insurance company pay it for you. For that ofcourse, you will need a mediacal/health insurance policy.

A Bit of China in Kerala

There is a bit of China everywehre in Kerala. The houses, temples and any building looks chinese, Kerala uses the ancient Chinese Fishing nets, most local festivals are connected with the Chinese. For example, The important festival in Chettikulangara temple near Mavelikara is the Kumbha Bharani festival conducted during February-March. The important festivity associated with this utsavam is “kettu-Kazhcha’ which resembles the Chinese festival celebrated on the birthday of Budha. Also, Mavelikara is a place in Kerala where one can find The Statue of Buddha in Seated Position, from the 9th Century C.E. The seated Buddha is in front of famous Sri Krishna Swami temple.

The Kerala Government says in its tourist guides that ages ago, the Chinese used to trade with Kerala. I think thats bullshit. There were chinese people here before Aadhi Shankaracharya arrived in Kerala. He drove them out, but somehoe the people seem to have retained the ancient culture still. Thats why in a stupid country such as India, there is 100% literacy only in Kerala. People there know the value of education.

Malayalam is a mix of Tamil and Sanskrit though. There has been no influence of the Chinese language.

Aurobindo Ghosh

A so called freedom fighter got beaten up by the British terribly, and then he quit freedom fighting and started preaching the Gita and wrote a few books himself for a living. The man was Aurobindo Ghosh. A bengali, didn’t know what to do for a living, so went into freedom fighting, but ultimately managed to setup a huge establishment at Pondicherry, that is the Aurobindo Ashram and the nearby village called Auroville.

People always say that there is more money in there than anywhere else in the world, and that there is more drugs, sex and even child sex abuse in Auroville. Even BBC has made a documentary on it recently.

People do a lot of things in the name of faith. Faith doesnt come commercially. People shouldn’t have to buy books printed by these establishments, or buy other merchandize when they walk out of these places. People who do business with the organization shouldn’t have to pay an extra price just because there is a brand name called Auroville. It is not holy, but is just another business empire, where loads of illegal activities too take place under the cover of Faith.
