Why do People Smoke?

Posted by Varumana- Usha


Hi friends, Why do people Smoke?"SMOKING-INJURIOUS TO HEALTH"-This line i think we had seen/heard in Cigaratte Packets. The Researches had done regarding this. Its quite interesting since Cigarette advertising is being banned in some countries and tobacco companies are becoming limited in where they are allowed to advertise. In some countries they are not permitted to advertise on billboards, television, radio, in magazines or newspapers or on buses or trains. But still, Smoking is Increasing Day by Day.. How? Lets see wat makes people to Smoke?


Many teenagers start smoking due to peer pressure. They may also smoke to feel more mature or as a form of rebellion against parental authority. It has been proved that children are also more likely to smoke if their parents do. Smoking also produces psychological dependency. Many people smoke because it helps them relax and cope with difficult situations, or because it gives them confidence. Others smoke when they feel bored.

Smoking produces a feeling of satisfaction that's difficult to give up. Nowadays it would be unheard of for people not to smoke.
Smoking is a part of everyday life, although, believe it or not, it has only recently become so.

There are over one thousand million smokers throughout the world, which is an astonishing number, considering the harm smoking does to your body, which we are all well aware of.


With this in mind, the question "why do people smoke?" is a really complicated one, that is now being explored much more in depth by many of the world's doctors and scientists.It has only recently been proved that smoking causes lung cancer amongst other serious diseases and that passive smoking is also harmful for those that do not smoke.
Thus, more and more governments are trying to make people aware of the health risks and consequences of smoking. Some governments have even banned smoking in all indoor public places.

Cigarettes are widely available and in many countries fairly inexpensive to buy. For this reason, buying cigarettes is no longer a luxury only for those who can afford to buy them, but a product that is widely attainable by most people. Peer pressure plays an important part.


Many children start smoking because their friends have tried it or smoke themselves.
Other smokers say that their habit relaxes them. This is also erroneous because if you think about it, in a lot of the situations where you would light up a cigarette, you are actually carrying out relaxing and enjoyable activities such as sitting down and having a coffee with friends, watching television or having a break from working.

Many women are afraid of giving up smoking as they think that they will gain a huge amount of weight when they stop. Once you stop smoking though, you will be much fitter and have much more energy, which could motivate you into taking up some form of exercise or joining a gym.

We can make awareness to people! But they have to take it to their mind, instead they immediately ask us "Have u been tried atleast once"? I dnt knw where it will end.. Lets spread the Awareness!

CRUCIAL ATTEMPTS-BE AWARE!

Posted by Varumana- Usha

Hi friends,

In daylight hours, refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency situation...This is for you, and for you to share with your friends,neighbours and everyone you know.It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.

IMPORTANT TIPS:

1.Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit(doing their chequebook, or making a list, etc.DON'T DO THIS!)The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go.

AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR ,LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE..


2. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF,

Repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF!

Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car.Your Air Bag will save you.If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it .As soon as the car crashes
bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

3.Another Safety Point:

Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird.. The police told her 'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door..' The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over.

The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way,whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax
women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.

Be aware Friends!

-Shilpa Shetty's Marriage-

Posted by Varumana- Usha

Hi friends,

The Great "Big Boss" Famous Shilpa Shetty got married
with Raj Kundra on November 22nd in Khandala. Shilpa Shetty added saying,"This is my dream wedding. We plan to shuttle between Mumbai and London after marriage. I shall strive to be as successful at home as I am outside. I want to excel as a homemaker,".She also said that she was marrying a millionaire divorcee.

His wife was Mrs Kavita Kundra.

Wat happened between them to get separated?

Raj Kundra already said this: My wife and I separated nine months ago and filed for divorce four months ago; we had agreed a mutual divorce. The reasons for the divorce are too personal for me to discuss and it would bring down my ex-wife and I do not wish to stoop down to her level as it’s very degrading. At this time I had no association with Shilpa Shetty whatsoever. I regret that my personal situation has led my ex-wife to attempt to damage the reputation of a highly acclaimed celebrity. I would simply like to take this opportunity to apologise to Shilpa Shetty and her family for my ex-wife’s shocking allegations and request the media to not give such claims so much attention without verifying the facts.


Lets pray that their marriage should be as joyable and enjoyable in their life! Wish them a Very Happy Married Life!

Frequently Asked Questions on Windows Vista

Posted by Varumana- Usha

Hi friends,

Many computer users would like to clean files from their computers but do not know what files to delete. Therefore to avoid deleting the wrong files, the computer is simply left alone to store more and more files. This can cause major problems with your computer. It can start to run slow, popup with error messages, and generally become a confusing and cluttered system.
If you do not know what files are safe to remove and delete from your computer, it is extremely important that you find out. There is one basic rule when deleting files from your computer: If you do not know what the files is then leave it alone.

What files are not safe to delete or remove from my computer?

  • BIOS Settings: Lets face it, unless you are a computer technician, you should not be flashing or upgrading your bios any time soon. The main thing you might enter the BIOS for is to set the boot order of your devices so you can boot from a cd. You cannot access the BIOS after you have loaded your operating system. See more about the BIOS.
  • Operating System files: When you install Windows (or another operating system) there will be a folder containing files that will run your computer. For Windows the system files are usually in a folder named Windows, stored directly in C: drive. My advice to you is not to even look in there. If you accidentally delete a file from there your computer might not work or startup.
  • Program Files: This is where all the programs you have installed are stored. If you accidentally remove a file from one of these folders you might cause the program to not work. If you want to remove a program you must do it through the control panel in Add or remove programs or programs and features in Vista. You cannot delete individual files hoping to get rid of the program. Some people also think that if they remove or delete the desktop icon that is a shortcut to a program, this also removes the program. This is wrong also.
  • Hidden Files: Hidden files are hidden for a reason. Do not touch them unless it is absolutely necessary. Here’s how to Show hidden files in Windows XP and Showing Super Hidden Files In Windows Vista .
What files are safe to delete or remove?

Lets just say that any file you create, you can delete. If you put a photo onto your computer it is your choice to delete it or not. Deleting this file will not effect the computer and how it runs. So if you created a word document or downloaded an mp3 file then you can delete them when ever you want to. Just make sure you know what you are deleting before you make a mistake. The files you can remove are usually stored in the documents, pictures, or music folders.

How do I safely delete or remove temporary files from my computer?

Every time you do something on your computer a temporary file is created. So if you download a file or even open a document, a temporary file is created. These files can accumulate and need to be cleared from the computer as they have no value to you. There are a number of ways to safely delete these temporary files from your computer.

1. Delete files from the C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp folder. (%temp)
2.Delete files from the C:\Windows\Temp folder (temp)
3.Delete files from the C:\Users\Mitz\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files for Windows Vista, and C:\Documents and Settings\mitz\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files for Windows XP. These files include cookies, browsing history, and more..


What programs are safe to delete or remove from my computer?

If you installed a program and no longer require it or need it then you can delete it as long as you do it properly. See how to Safely Remove or delete programs from your computer. If you do not know what program you are deleting then you should leave it alone.

Notes on What files are safe to delete or remove from my Computer?

* Once you get the hang of what file is ok to delete safely, you will never have to wonder again.
* Just stick to the main rule: Do not delete it if you do not know what it is!

Posted by Varumana- Usha

Hi friends,

Many Campus is yet to come in colleges for Final year students.. Let me share with u today about Group Discussion. It will be useful for Interviewers also since im hereby giving some Topics also.

First, Let me ask u WHAT IS GROUP DISCUSSION?

Group Discussion is being extensively used along with personal interviews for the final selection of candidates. It plays a main role in selecting the best among the best. It becomes necessary to conduct further screening for choosing a few among many. It is one of the best tools to study the behavioral and attitudinal responses of the participants within some span time.

Types of Group Discussion Topics:

While preparing for GD, you need to know what short of GD topics are given in a real job test. This post tries to categories these topics into following four categories:
1. Factual topics.
2. Controversial topics.
3. Abstract topics.
4. Case studies.

Factual topics:

As the word says - these topics are about facts. You are given a factual statement and you are supposed to discuss it. Examples include:
1. Conspiracy is a very common form of political behaviour.
2. The pros and cons of having a credit card.
3. Drinking and driving is dangerous to yourself and others.
4. Terrorism breeds out of a sick mind.
5. Affirmative action draws people to work they never considered before.

Controversial topics:

These are the topics would heats up any GD:
1. Sustainable urban living without the use of excessive natural resources must be our future.
2. China is better than India in software.
3. Reservations should be removed.
4. Multinationals: Bane or Boon?
5. The pros and cons of a female President.
6. Online dating chats have nothing to do with the search for a soul mate.
7. Sex education should be implemented in all schools.
8. Life imprisonment is a good alternative to capital punishment.

Abstract topics:

These topics by itself does not tells you anything. You need to formulate what it means and how to go about it:
1. Group Discussion.
2. Position of Women in India compared to other nations.
3. Environment Management.
4. A multi-polar world.
5. The Internet and Web 2.0.

Case studies:

These topics gives you a situation (mostly a problem) and you need to chalk out a startegy to reach at a consensus solution with your group mates:

1. Lata moves from the Insurance sector to FMCG sector. Her performance during training and during the year she is assigned a small territory, is very impressive and so she is assigned a larger territory. But her performance there is not very good. Her supervisor blames her. Her excuse was being in a male dominated society. What does the central office do?

2. Prasad, who works for a reputed educational institute is made in charge of relief operations for a particular camp in an area that has been hit by an earthquake. Some medicines being sent to his camp are hijacked by Dinesh, the nephew of the local MLA. Dinesh wants to divert the shipment to another camp. The goods are being held 20 km away. What does Prasad do?

3. A king of an Arab country is approached by a foreign mining company with a contract. Presently, the country earns its revenues through tourism. The contract if signed will initiate mining near the coastal regions which will affect tourism. The opposition party is very powerful and if the contract is not signed, they will initiate a coup. What should the king do?

Above examples are given so as to familarise you about what topics are given in a GD. You can invent you own topic for preparing yourself for the GD.

All the best for ur career friends!
