Copyright Rediff.com

Today I have brushed up some of the major Traffic rules to be followed to check accidents. I know even after so much mess and loads of traffic, it is only the Indian people who can carry on with this without accidents.

Still I am sharing some traffic rules to be followed by drivers and pedestrian.

 

 

 

 

Traffic Rules for the Drivers

• Always be on the left side of the road. This is very basic rule but still many don't follow.


• NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE!! REMEMBER AFTER WHISKEY DRIVING RISKY.


• Don't use mobile or carefully listen to radio or music player in heavy traffics. You may face accident.


• Remember to follow the traffic light or the traffic police. Red to stop, Yellow/Orange to Get ready and Green to go. If you have to wait more than 15 seconds then turn off the vehicle to save the precious fuel.


• Stop your vehicle if there is just less than 5 seconds time on the traffic light. Never try to speed up and cross in this limited time. Also stop at least 5 m before the line or zebra cross.


• Never cross the speed limit. Speed limits are always mentioned on the side boards. If the speed limit is not mentioned then limit between 40 - 45 kmph.


• Never try to overtake. If the vehicle ahead of you stops, blow horn but never try to slip from sides by changing lanes. This way you may hurt someone.  If you are overtaken by other, stay calm but don't speed up or slow down your vehicle.


• Don't Park your Vehicle on the road just to save pennies for parking spot. The traffic police may double charge you for that.When parking the vehicle make sure that it does not cause any danger, obstruction or inconvenience for other road users.


• Always give away the Ambulance, Police Vehicle or other Emergency vehicles to pass before you.


• Never Cross the yellow or white line symbolizing the limits of the road. Keep your vehicle limited to the road.


• The person driving the vehicle is to always carry the following documents: 
1. Driving License
2. Certificate of registration of the vehicle
3. Certificate of taxation
4. Certificate of insurance
5. For transport vehicles the following additional documents are required
   1. The permit
   2. Fitness certificate
6. These documents are to be produced on demand by any Police officer in Uniform, Officers of the Motor Vehicles Department in Uniform or by any officer authorized by the Government. If the driver does not have the documents in his/her possession he should produce attested copies in person or through registered post to the officer who demanded it within 15 days.


• You should not carry any suspicious material like gun or explosives or naked fuel.


• Maintain proper distance between your vehicle and ahead vehicle so that there is no clash during sudden stops.


• Always wear seat-belts and encourage others sitting in your vehicle. If you are on bike don't forget to wear a helmet.


• Use indicators before taking turns. If your indicator is faulty get it repaired soon.


• One the roads marked as "One-way" never try to drive in inverse direction.


• Cut out the sound of your vehicle by using silencer. Don't blow too much horn or cause noise-pollution


• Rickshaws and Auto-Rickshaws should run their vehicles as left side as possible as they need to stop frequently.


• Bikes must not be overloaded with 4 or more persons. There are good chances of meeting an accident.

How to learn Kungfu?? Different stages to learn Kungfu

Kung fu as we all know is a very famous form of Martial arts originating more than 5000 years ago. Kung fu is believed to be the most disciplined martial arts of the world. Many people have a misconception that Kung fu is all about being physically strong and knowing to hit anyone with desperate force. It is far more than that. This page will teach you the true meaning of Kungfu.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1 : Having control on our Mind

A human mind is the most powerful structure in Human body. It is whatever that makes you think, imagine, make decision and controls senses of what is good or bad. The first to do to learn Kung fu is to have control over your mind. If you have complete control over your mind then you have learned about 20 % Kung fu.

Having control on your mind lets you to take better decision and be more honest and truthful. It is one of the most important thing that a modern Human misses. Ask yourself ! Is this world really the way we see it ? Am I really reading this blog ??

Step 2 : Different Brain Training Program

Next major step to learn Kung fu is by various Brain Training Program. Most of us eventually where we have kept our house keys or a important file or cell phones. We are always distracted by unstable thoughts of our mind. Sometimes we can't take quick decision which is always wrong. So sharpening your brain is very necessary to be fast and more reactive.

Some Brain Training Program includes :

Step 3 : Focus! Focus! and Focus !

This seems to be very simple but it one of the toughest job to learn Kung fu. We generally can't concentrate completely on one job completely. Our mind easily distracts from the task. This reduces our speed and forces us to commit some faults in the task

Concentrating on a single task at a time is a very important remedy. It helps to increase our speed and avoid distractions hence decreasing our reacting time. Take a spoon and try to bend it using your mind as in The Matrix!!

 

Step 4 : Being highly Discipline and Defensive

One of an important step to learn Kung fu is to be discipline. Self-discipline can be defined as the ability to motivate oneself in spite of a negative emotional state. Qualities associated with self-discipline include willpower, hard work, and persistence. Have extreme control on your anger.

In simple terms Defense is protection of oneself from outer attacks. You must always be ready for all the harms that other can cause. Only defense, Never try to hit the one hitting you. If you hit him you will be using Karate or other martial arts instead of Kungfu as Hitting others is never a part of Kung fu.

Final step : Learn some Self Defensives

Personally I feel this is the not a very necessary step because the people who learns the above mentioned steps can never take up fights that I guarantee you. But it is necessary if you are involved in fights to save others.

Check out manuals and videos that help you to learn self - defensives. Practice long with all major techniques of Karate and experiment with the history of Kung fu.Make your body fit and healthy. Have regular visits to Gym. Have a hand to hand friendly trainings with your friends or brothers ( But don't hit them hard ). When you fight, try to use your feet as much as you use your hands. Unleash the full potential of your limbs.

Some warnings after learning the self Defensives are :

• Be careful when embarking on any training of any sort. Always be aware of the risks and hazards before starting.
• Don't show off. If your main aim of learning Kung Fu is to show off to others, you are better off not to train yourself with self defensives.
• Don't start hurting people once you've learned Kung Fu. Kung Fu should only be used for self defense only.

 

Have Patience

Very Important. You will not be able to learn Kung fu completely within a night or so. It will take several years of practice to learn Kung fu. Then too there is no guarantee that you will definitely learn Kung fu. Everyone can just try to learn Kung fu even if you are Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan.

Electricity Breakdown in India !! 10 Best ways to save electricity

For people living in India it is a common phenomenon that electricity often breaks down either in day or at night. Problem is less in winters but very hectic during summers. Many people spend endless hours during the summers without electricity.

What is responsible for the electricity breakdown ??

A number of possible reason are responsible for electricity breakdown but a few are listed here :

Insufficient electricity generation : India is one of the few nation with problem of insufficient electricity generation. India do not have enough power generation plant to produce enough electricity. Most of the power generation plant are thermal or hydel based which cannot produce sufficient electricity. Nuclear power plant are few in numbers.

Ever-growing electricity consumption : With India continuously progressing with growing urbanization and industrialization the demands of electricity has increased by leaps and bounds. More and more electricity consumed by household and industries leading to shortage of electricity.

Introduction of new electrical gadgets : Washing machines, dish washers, modern computers, mobile phones, geysers and modern Television has emerged with growing lifestyle. Use of such gadget are also responsible for electricity shortage.

Bad Internal wiring and theft of electricity : Many electricity have very cheap electrical circuiting which could result in short-circuiting and hence retardation of electricity supply. Also some people try to physically connect wires to electrical poles or live overhead wires to illegally steal electricity. This sometimes leads to overload and electricity breakdown.

Wastage electricity : Most of the Indians don't care about the importance of electricity. They waste the precious electricity by using bulbs instead of CFLs or using new electrical gadgets again and again carelessly. They don't know the harm that  they cause to others as well as the environment. Even Inverters are not a good idea !!, Inverters are a way to take away electricity from others by storing it in huge capacities batteries.
