If you are worried by the radiation emitted by cell phone towers around you, there is some good news. From September 1, this year, India will lower the level to one tenth of the prevailing standard from 9.2 w/m2 to 0.92 w/m2. The decision follows a report of the inter-ministerial committee formed by the Ministry of communications and Information Technology to study the hazards posed by e.m.f radiation from base stations and mobile phones. Sharma said lowering of the limit is a preventive step against serious health risks posed by radiation emitted from towers which includes the possibility of developing certain types of cancer. The cause and effect relationship though hasn't been established yet. The department of telecommunications has also issued directions for reducing the specific absorption rate, a measure of the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body while using a phone

In a country where more than 400 million people live without electricity, it isn't political rhetoric and policies filtered through many layers of bureaucracy that will benefit people. An innovative approach to identifying and addressing the basic lack of infrastructure works best. This is best exemplified by the initiative to convert rice husks into electricity in Bihar. Pioneered by a company called Husk Power Systems, established in 2007, by Bihar native Gyanesh Pandey along with three partners- it's a peculiarly Indian initiative, making a virtue out of the necessity of low-cost solutions to large scale problems. In essence, Pandey and his partners have devised an electric distribution system powered by the waste product of rice husks, generated when rice is milled- something in abundant supply in Bihar where, it is estimated, 1.8 billion kg of rice husk are produced annually

Honest self-criticism plays a vital role to purify our souls and to light the path of blissful success. The Holy Quran says: Truly he has succeeded who purifies it. And Truly, he has failed who defiles it. In fact, self criticism seems like a fairly straight-forward concept. It means acknowledging that we have committed a sin, whether against ourselves or other, be it Our Creator or anyone or anything in creation. For most of us, such a confession is an incredibly tough thing to do. Pride prevents us from owning our faults, especially before people when it is necessary. It behoves us to recall that being honest with ourselves is actually a way to enjoy life, rather than make it tougher. It is a fact that the best way to prevent ourselves from committing haram acts is to really investigate whether or not such activities are permissible in Islam and to refrain from doing them if they are not permissible
