“eLoc represents a Smart Digital Address
System. The World Bank in 2005 said that Addressing is a real problem. Which is
why you see countries going through a new address system every 20 years. In
India for example, there are so many ways of addressing… and these are
confusing, and nothing has really solved the problem…
When an emergency happens and someone calls
up the dial 100 service saying there’s an emergency, send someone to C block
231, 3rd floor etc…. that’s taking too much time. They should just say, ‘send
someone to 8GDTYX”. Its much quicker and dis-ambiguous…
We believe that this will be the
fundamental base. Just like Aadhaar has been for people, eLoc will be for
addresses.” – Rohan Verma, CTO & Executive Director, MapmyIndia

On an average a man inhales 3
cylinders of oxygen everyday. As per today’s price, a cylinder costs
Rs.700/-. So a person inhales Rs.2100
worth oxygen daily. If we do not get
oxygen freely as we are getting now from the trees and plants, then we will have
to spend Rs.7,66,500 per year!

Change
"EARLY"
or
it will be too "LATE"

Sometimes
you are the toxic person.
Sometimes
you ar the mean, negative person you are looking to push away.
Sometimes
the problem is you.
And
that does not make you less worthy.
Keep
on growing.
Keep
on checking yourself.
Keep
on motivating yourself.
Mistakes
are opportunities.
Look
at them, own them, grow from them and move on.
Do
better, be better.
You
are human. It is okay.

Swamiji smiled and said: "In your culure, a tailor makes a gentleman; but, in our culture, it is character which makes a gentleman."
