This blog has become a sort of personal-cum-public diary. As for its contents, some are meant for me and my friends and relatives; others are for the public. This blog will have only positive, ennobling, elevating, encouraging and uplifting thoughts/ideas/materials. Whoever visits should feel happy and should be able to pick up some good ideas/thoughts/links. In short, "NOTHING NEGATIVE" is my motto.(Grateful thanks to Jon Sullivan and Public-Domain-Photos.com for the background photo)

Facts and Figures-7: The Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project (SSCP)-1:

* The 167-km-long shipping channel is meant to link the west coast of India to the eastern ports at a cost of Rs.2,427 crore.

* It would reduce the steaming distance by 780 km and save 30 hours of sailing time as currently ships have to go around Sri Lanka.
