Here are the top tips to avoid snoring

Sun, Nov 28 02:15 PM
London, Nov 28 (ANI):

The British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association has provided tips to cure snoring problems.

It recommends working out whether snoring comes from the nose or throat, reports the Daily Express.

If you can make a snoring noise with your mouth open and closed, try this: stick your tongue out as far as it will go and grip it between your teeth.

Try to make a snoring noise. If it is reduced, you are probably a "tongue-base snorer", meaning your tongue is vibrating and causing the problem. If you are a "nose snorer" you snore with a closed mouth, it says.

The Association lists their solutions as follows:

1. Sleep on your side
The theory is that when we lie on our backs the tongue and muscles in the throat collapse, constricting the airway and causing snoring.
2. Higher pillows
This aims to keep the airways open by supporting the neck so the throat is less constricted. It works fairly well until you fall asleep and slump down in the bed.
3. Breathe Right Nasal Strips
These are supposed to open your nostrils from the outside and they certainly do seem to do this. They can also provide temporary relief from nasal congestion and stuffiness caused by colds and allergies.
4. Snoreeze Oral Strips
These dissolving mint-flavoured strips target the main cause of snoring and are ideal if you tend to snore more when lying on your back. They contain a time-release formula, which coats the back of the throat throughout the night and reduces the vibrations of the soft tissues, helping to stop snoring.
5. Snoreeze Throat Spray
This lubricates and tones the soft tissues at the back of the throat that vibrate and make you snore.
7. Nozovent
This is a piece of flexible plastic which you push into your nostrils to make them wider and allow easier breathing. It looks like something from the Spanish Inquisition but users report good results.
8. Somno Guard
This is a bit like the gumshield worn by a rugby player, but it is reported to produce good results. The idea is to bring your lower jaw and tongue forward, making more space for breathing. The drawback is that it takes sometime to get used to and is costly.
9. Rhynil Herbal Spray
The British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association says its herbal nasal spray shrinks the lining of the nostril, creating more space to breathe. It also tightens the tissue of the roof of the mouth, making it less likely to vibrate. It smells pleasant and a friend who tried it said it reduced snoring significantly.
10. Abstinence
You should cut down on cigarettes or, better still, give up completely. Also, try to have your last alcoholic drink at least four hours before you go to bed. (ANI)

Value Investing and its advantages

Benjamin Graham was not only a widely respected author and expert on value investing; he is often credited with creating the foundation for modern fundamental analysis of stocks. Value Investing is an investment strategy used by some of the country’s more prominent investors, most notably Warren Buffett.

For value investing to work, the investor must find companies that are trading at a market price that is a discount to the intrinsic, or real, value. The difference between the market price and the intrinsic value of a stock is known as the ‘margin of safety’. The margin of safety protects the investor from both poor decisions and down turns in the market. Because true value is very difficult to accurately compute, the margin of safety gives the investor room to make a mistake.

So, value investing is an approach to investing that singles out specific investments; stocks or bonds that are undervalued in relation to similar companies. That is not the same as cheap, however. An undervalued investment may still have a high share price in relation to other stocks in the same category. What is important is the relative value of the stock using tools such as the P/E ratio, price to book ratios, and other tools of fundamental analysis.

For many investors who practice value investing - companies that have a solid earnings history, strong financials, a history of dividends, and a sizeable market share.

Value investing is not only based on purchasing good companies at low prices, but holding for the long-term.

Above all the value Investing is also need the du-digilence of the investors(CMP,time of investing in rally/correction etc) ,

"Not buying the right share in wrong time;

but, buying the right share in the right time"

How to find multibagger stocks?

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s tips on how to find multibagger stocks?

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is not content with sharing his incredible investment techniques with the world (See Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s investment techniques). Rakesh Jhunjhunwala now lets us in on the all-time important investment secret of all time - How to find multibagger stocks.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is the Mother Theresa of the investment world because not only is this Living Legend eager to share his investment techniques with us, he is also happy to let us in on the most well guarded investment secret on how he made his billions .

But, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, the wise sage that he is, is a man of few words. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is reticent. When Rakesh Jhunjhunwala speaks, it is because he has something to say and not because he has to say something! So we scoured through hundreds of transcripts to decode Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s investment secrets. Now, we are proud to present our own version of Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s tips on how to find multibaggers.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s Tip No. 1: Don’t Look For Multi-baggers
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s first investment mantra on how to find multibaggers is surprisingly different from what you would expect. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala says: "Don’t look for multibaggers. Don’t seek them at all. Let the multibaggers come to you!"

What is Rakesh Jhunjhunwala saying?
What Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is saying is: Don’t go out into the investment world saying "I only want to invest in potential multibaggers". Instead, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, the Investment Guru, says "Go back to the old-fashioned way of making investments designed by investment maestros Benjamin Graham, Peter Lynch and Warren Buffet". "If your homework is right and you have invested in fundamentally sound companies with good growth prospects, your investments will by themselves become multibaggers with the passage of time".

Sounds simple but Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is not content with giving abstract or theoretical advice because this great investment legend already knows that his disciples are a bunch of doubting Thomas and even his words of undeniable gospel will be met with stoic skepticism.

So, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala gives examples of what he means.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala gives the example of BEML which several years ago was quoting at a pittance because it was regarded as a slothful government enterprise. No investor in his right mind wanted the shares of BEML at that time. But while other investors saw a sluggish government corporation, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala saw efficient management, a great product line-up and effeicient cash-flows. The result: Rakesh Jhunjhunwala got a bountiful; he got his multibagger.

One example is not enough to convince the cynical masses. So, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala gives another example – that of Bharat Electronics – which also was regarded as a Babu-wala company by other investors who couldn’t see what Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s discerning eye could. Another humble company turned into a multibagger by sheer passage of time!

Now you are convinced. But Rakesh Jhunjhunwala does not rest. He goes for the jugular. Now, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala gives a counter example.

What would an investor "looking" for a multibagger have bought in the heady days of 2000? The naive investor would have looked around and seen "spectacular" companies like Himachal Futuristic, Global Tele, Pentasoft soaring on the stock exchange, making new highs every day. So, the foolish investor would have tanked up on these shares thinking that these shares were his best bet to net a multi-bagger.

The result: You don’t need the great Rakesh Jhunjhunwala to spell that out for you.
So, now you know why Rakesh Jhunjhunwala says: "Don’t look for multibaggers!"

Yes, the point sinks in and you have understood but then you rub your eyes incredulously and ask "But what do I look for in a share?"

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is not regarded as the greatest investor in India for nothing. He has a well-considered answer for that as well. And if you think about it, Rakesh Jhunjhuwala’s answer is made up of pure common sense.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s Tip No. 2: Don’t Look for Profits; Look For Sources Of Profits
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala cautions that most investors obsess about the current sales and profits. They look at each quarter and focus obsessively on short-term profits. "That’s missing the wood for the trees" says Rakesh Jhunjhunwala.

Instead Rakesh Jhunjhunwala says "Look at the sources of Profits. What are the reasons that will give rise to Profits in the medium and long-term term".

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala drives home the point. "Look at the factors and circumstances that will create an opportunity for business in the sector".

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala gives the classic example of Infosys and Wipro. While the average Joe would have sat with his calculator analyzing Infosys’s & Wipro’s PE, ROE and nonsense like that, an astute investor in the 1990s would have realized that an internet revolution was coming in the next couple of years. He would have also realized that the off-shore business segment was booming and he would have tanked up on those shares.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala gives another spectacular example: That of Praj Industries, a company engaged in manufacture of bio-ethanol fuel. When Praj Industries started out, nobody realized the massive demand that would arise for alternate fuels like ethanol. An investor would could have foreseen that would have had his multibagger.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s Tip No. 3: Forget ‘Large Cap, Small Cap’ Nonsense – Look For Scalability Of Operations:
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala makes two very important points. First, the investing maestro expresses his contempt for the obsession that many analysts and investors have for the debate on whether large cap, mid cap or small cap stocks are better. "Forget all that and Look for Value" he thunders. "If there is value in Large Cap, buy it. If there is value in Small Cap, buy it. But don’t obsess on irrelevant matters", says Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, the one with infinite wisdom.

But Rakesh Jhunjhunwala makes his preference quite clear. He says that given a choice and all things remaining equal, a mid-cap or a small-cap is a preferred bet because the valuations will be low and they can scale it up quite quickly.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s Tip No. 4: Give it Time, Be Patient:
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala reiterates what the maha investment gurus like Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffet have been advising over the past several decades. Warren Buffet was plain in his advice "Our favourite holding period is Forever". Rakesh Jhunjhunwala gives the same advice: "Give your investments time to mature. Be Patient for the World to discover your gems". Rakesh Jhunjhunwala cites the examples of Crisil, Titan and Pantaloon Retail which he has held on for several years now and has absolutely no intention of divesting them any time soon.

When Rakesh Jhunjhunwala bought Lupin it was just another mid-cap pharma company starting out into the world of generic drugs. What Rakesh Jhunjhunwala saw was a good efficient management which knew its job, a debt-free status, a good product line up and a growing market. That’s all. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala bought and played the waiting game. When the market matured, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala raked in his billions.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala also fondly talks about his investment in Karur Vysya Bank which he has held onto even after about 20 years since he bought them. He says that his paltry investment of Rs 2,000 is worth several crores today thanks to the patience and conviction that he showed.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is never tired of emphasizing that first you must always remember that you are buying a business and not just a little thing that bounces 2% around every now and then. When you buy that business, it must be of a very high quality, one that is capable of growing over time. Having done your hard work, you must wait for the market to do its work and reward you, says Rakesh Jhunjhunwala.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s Tip No. 5: Don’t get carried away by short-term aberrations:
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala cannot stop criticizing investors who are obsessed with short-term trends. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala emphasizes that he does not worry about quarterly results. If the results are bad in one quarter, he does not get perturbed. What Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is looking for is: Is there a trend? Are the quarterly results showing a trend and suggesting something or are they a mere aberration?

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala also cautions that one should not get carried away by short-term trends. He cites the oft-repeated example of 1999 when investors bought truck loads of Himachal Futuristic, Global Tele, Pentasoft while he used to buy Shipping Corporation and Bharat Electronics because he saw long-term value in them. The Oracle of Mumbai says “Never get carried away by aberrations, recognize and respect them but do remember that the market corrects its aberration though it takes time.”

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala then adds that if the market behaves irrational and punishes a stock for short-term aberration, that’s the time for you to jump in. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala cites the classic example of Titan Watches to buttress his theory. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala says that Titan suffered in a moment of crisis when it went into Europe and lost a lot of money. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala says he wasn’t perturbed because he knew that what is most important for Titan is India’s prosperity. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala envisaged the future and knew sub-consciously that Indians were going to buy far many watches and that the underlying business should be great. So, says Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, in a moment of crisis you can get great valuations and if you can envisage the future where the product could have great demand and great growth, you should use the opportunity to buy.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s Tip No. 6: Invest in a business that you can understand:
If you look at it hard enough, you will realize that Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s reluctance to buy Himachal Futuristic, Global Tele and Pentasoft even in their heydays and his preference to stick to Shipping Corporation, Bharat Electronics and the other tried and tested names reveals another great investment tip from the Prince of Dalal Street: Buy what you know. Do you understand the business enough to be able to know what will happen 10 or 20 years from today. With Shipping Corporation, you can because shipping of goods will continue to happen for our foreseeable future. But you can’t tell that with technology companies which may have a great product today but which may become obsolete in 5 years.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s Tip No. 7: Don’t worry about the macro stuff like fiscal deficit, inflation etc which are unknowable. Focus on what is knowable:
Another immensely practical tip from Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, India’s greatest investor, for us folk who keep obsessing about currency fluctuation rates, inflation, fiscal deficit, political turmoil is: “Don’t worry about things that you neither know about nor can do anything about. It’s not important. Instead focus your energies on what you can and should know well enough – the business of the company you are investing in“.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s Tip No. 8 : Don’t Try To Time The Market:
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala endorses the validity of investment advice that has been propounded time and again by the wizards of investment time and again. Never try to time the market because you can never find the bottom of the market. Instead if you are getting the stock cheap in terms of its intrinsic value and future prospects, buy it.

Here, one cannot resist referring to similar advice that Warren Buffet, the Emperor of Wall Street, gives. Warren Buffet points out that Coca-Cola made an IPO in 1919 when it issued shares at $ 40 each. A year later, the share was quoting at $19. You might think that’s a disaster because the share had lost 50% of its value in just one year. After that there was sugar rationing and the farmers were rebellious. Years later, the Great Depression and World War II happened, there were thermonuclear weapons and what not. He says you could always find a reason on why that was not the right to buy shares of Coca Cola. But if you had gone ahead and bought that one share for $40 and reinvested the dividends, your investment in Coca-Cola would be worth $5 Million today.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala echoes the words of the Oracle of Omaha when he says that you must get right is the business. If you get that right, everything else falls into place.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s Tip No. 9 : If it’s cheap, buy it- Don’t pass up something cheap today in the hope that it will get cheaper tomorrow:
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala says: If you see the opportunity today, GRAB IT! Many wonderful opportunities are lost to procrastination and then you rue your missed opportunities. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala says that it is not only important to identify the opportunity but then to be decisive and to act on it. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala cautions against getting stuck in a trap where you are perpetually seeking extra information to validate your idea.

In this, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala echoes the wisdom of Warren Buffet, the Oracle of Obama, who in the depths of the great stock-market depression of 2008 inspired investors by his clarion call "

If you wait for robins, summer will be gone".

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s Tip No. 10 : Don’t buy stocks that have a fixed return:
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s next tip seems to be a no-brainer but it is surprising how many investors overlook it. What is the point of buying shares in a company such as an electricity company where the return on investment cannot by law exceed a certain amount, asks Rakesh Jhunjhunwala. But, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, emphasizes that this logic does not mean that electricity and utility companies should not form part of your portfolio because they offer an excellent defense mechanism to the vagaries of the stock market with the undemanding demand for their product and their predictable cash flows.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s Tip No. 11: Ride your winners!!
The one question on everybody’s mind is "When do I sell my multibagger?" Rakesh Jhunjhunwala answers with aplomb "Never".

One must be careful to understand what Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is saying here. What the Greatest Investor in India is saying is: "Don’t sell for the sake of selling because you can never say that the 10-bagger today will not become a 20-bagger tomorrow".

But, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala hastens to clarify that this does not mean that one will never sell a multibagger. He gives two situations when even he may sell his beloved multibagger. The first is when he is short of funds and he needs capital to invest in a stock that will give even better returns than what the existing one will give. And second, when the stock market has become so irrational that the perception of earnings and the P/E is unsustainable. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala gives the example of what happend in 2000 when euphoric investors laid bets that Infosys’ earnings would double every year for the next 10 years. Infosys’ P/E at the then current earnings was 100-150 times. So, says Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, when the expectation of earnings peaks and the P/E is unsustainable, that is the time to sell.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s Tip No. 12: Concentrate, concentrate & concentrate!!
There is a perpetual battle amongst investors on whether a diversified portfolio approach is better or a concentrated portfolio is better.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is an unabashed proponent of the concentrated portfolio theory. But Rakesh Jhunjhunwala‘s theory must be carefully understood before being implemented in practice as it can otherwise lead to disaster.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala emphasizes that one must venture into a concentrated portfolio only after one is sure that he has identified a share that will deliver superior returns to all the other chosen shares. The conviction must be extremely strong, says Rakesh Jhunjhunwala.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is not one to take risks lightly so must also be wary of the risks of a concentrated portfolio. In the recent past, we have seen so many excellent companies lose large portions of their market cap almost overnight. Some examples can be BP which was touted as the best buy in the oil space but which owing to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is today regarded as a pariah. Other examples are RNRL which not only lost the battle in the Supreme Court with Reliance but then announced a disastrous merger with RPower which short-changes RNRL’s investors. Aban Offshore is another example which lost its’ Oil Rig Aban-Prince in the high seas and saw its market price plummet 25%. Yet another example is that of Satyam whose founder Ramalingam Raju was felicitated as the "Most Promising Businessman" by Earnst & Young. He later confessed that all profits shown in Satyam were bogus and that he and Maytas Infra had played a

big fraud on the hapless investors.

So, while there are benefits to a concentrated portfolio, one must not be oblivious to its risks, cautions Rakesh Jhunjhunwala.

One Year After TED
Cannot imagine that one year has gone by, last year during the same time I was attending the TED conference. A conference I went with heavy heart and came back as a elated soul. I remember my first day at TED I was overwhelmed and intimidated. Among all these innovators,scientists, entrepreneurs,performers where do I stand as a activist. I have neither humor to make people laugh nor innovation that can make people look at me with awe. My first evening reception was a disaster to say the least. Within me I felt so insignificant in a world of creativity and power.And then my world changed after I spoke, I felt so much loved and cherished. The next two days were bliss and it was as if the Gods were conspiring to make me feel included,cherished and honored. Years of pain and exclusion just washed away. Support poured in, miracles happened. Problems which were gnawing me suddenly became easily manageable.Issues like eviction became less threatening as support poured in for construction. Google donated 1 million dollars for the construction( it reduced my struggles by 80%).I became techno literate( started my blog, facebook etc...). Post TED my world did change for good...today support networks are more,there are people interested to know about our trails and tribulations and most importantly the silence around the cause of sex trafficking is systematically breaking. There are at least 6 facebook communities( the ones I know) who are talking on sex trafficking. But this year has also been a year of challenges. Challenges that threatened the very root of the organization. You cannot have it all....-For many years the organization has been seriously looking for an ideal person to lead the Economic Rehabilitation Program(ERP). The look out was for a person with sound business ideas and also sensitivity to understand the special needs of trafficked survivors. This ambitious expectation, took as to many fora to identify the right person. Efforts were also put in through newspaper advertisements etc. A lot of money was spent in this search. After two years of search a ray of hope was seen when miraculously we found two persons( a dear friend put our requirement on Dev Net and that started the ball rolling), one with a management expertise and the other with marketing skills. The expert in management was made the Coordinator of ERP. As the leader of the team I, for once was relieved to hand over a lot of my responsibilities to another person especially related to business and marketing. For more than a month and a half we lived in euphoria as brilliant ideas to promote the business was tossed around and there was generally an air of great happening. Till one day when I met a customer who owed us some payment. As usual when I asked him when he was going to pay up he was shocked and informed me that he had already paid at least a month back. Immediately I called up our accounts section to find out why this customer appeared in the recovery list. And they informed me that the money has never reached them and they were constantly following up with the Coordinator, who had promised them that the money will recovered at the earliest. Immediate probe into the matter revealed that the Coordinator in collaboration with the Marketing Executive had already collected payments in cash at least a month earlier. Due to early detection we were able to prevent large-scale misappropriation of funds. Both the coordinator and marketing executive were dismissed from services and the funds misappropriated were recovered. I was forced to hold additional charges of looking after the enterprise.-As this crises was happening in ERP, the second generation prevention program which had started an economic rehabilitation unit for prostituted women (who were also mothers of children studying in the transition centers) faced severe resistance from the brothel keepers and brokers/pimps. One of the transition centers was vandalized. Tube lights, fans, flower pots were damaged. Property worth Rs 40,000/ (approx. 900$) was destroyed. A police case was lodged.-In the shelters, two shocking events happened. The biggest escapade of 10 victims from a ventilator on a rainy day was extremely depressing. As this was the first time such an event had happened in the shelter. The profile of the victims escaped revealed that all were witnesses in different cases. Only three of them did not appear to be connected to any case. One of three abandoned her 6 months baby and ran away. With a heavy heart we had to hand over the child to the court who handed the baby to the Government Orphanage. This happened in the month of September. Through reliable sources we also came to understand that there were traffickers posing as victims in the shelter whose main goal was to make all the victims who were witnesses hostile through intimidation. Unfortunately we could not spot the traffickers(we have a over crowded shelter right now). But what we were able to do was to strengthen the security measures internally. Slowly all loopholes were plugged. Maybe it was the realization of futility of efforts that the traffickers felt frustrated which forced them to go on a rampage within the shelter. TV, Fridge, tube-lights, sound system, CD Player, tables & chairs were destroyed. Three staff and three resident victims were injured in this act of aggression. Utter chaos prevailed for more than an hour, until staff from all units rushed and controlled the situation. The silver lining, we were able to spot all the 10 infiltrators. They were handed over to the police. The damage other than property( 2 lacs , approx. 4250 $) was the morale of the staff which heavily came down. Three senior staff from other interventions who witnessed the episode resigned. Interestingly those who were hurt have become more committed to the cause. Now there is acute staff shortage in the organization and my own movements (travelling outside Hyderabad) has been cut down considerably as only physical presence is boosting the morale of my team.-During the same period the security of the head office was put under tremendous risk when the organization got involved in two high profile cases in September. One case in which an inspector of police raped a 14 yr old girl. I was personally involved in not only booking the case but also providing safe shelter to the child victim. Consequently there was constant drama in the office premises with media having a hay day. In another case three girls were rescued from a reputed spa which was a front for prostitution. In the second case the office was filled with claimants & lawyers demanding access to the victims. Threatening and intimidating calls from very powerful people also poured in.-Outside Hyderabad, at the construction end, where we are building our new shelters it was a shocking news when the newspaper reported that the cost of the construction material has increased by 200%. As per the new prices we need another 400,000$ to complete the construction. In a context when we have to vacate the existing rented premises by Dec 31st 2010 it is a huge challenge to raise this this kind of funds in just two months.-And finally the king of all crises, last year we faced trouble with an official working in the income tax department after we refused to give her bribe. The lady in question a Jt. Commisioner of income tax promptly passed an order that we are a commercial profit-making institution and that we had to immediately pay tax to the tune of 45lacs (approx. 100000 $) to the department. We fought the case and we won and I thought it was over for good. Short lived was my relief as the department has now challenged the order in the tribunal( highest court for the income tax cases). And my saga continues... a year after TED what do I feel?Miracles give you renewed energy but life goes on and bigger battles await you at every corner.

Dear All.

I Wish you to read the below article>
Written by a Pakistani journalist about India

Capital suggestion
By Dr Farrukh Saleem

Here's what is happening in India :

The two Ambani brothers can buy 100 percent of every company listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) and would still be left with $30 billion to spare. The four richest Indians can buy up all goods and services produced over a year by 169 million Pakistanis and still be left with $60 billion to spare. The four richest Indians are now richer than the forty richest Chinese.

In November, Bombay Stock Exchange's benchmark Sensex flirted with 20,000 points. As a consequence, Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries became a $100 bill ion company (the entire KSE is capitalized at $65 billion). Mukesh owns 48 percent of Reliance.

In November, comes Neeta's birthday. Neeta turned forty-four three weeks ago. Look what she got from her husband as her birthday gift:

A sixty-million dollar jet with a custom fitted master bedroom, bathroom with mood lighting, a sky bar, entertainment cabins, satellite television, wireless communication and a separate cabin with game consoles. Neeta is Mukesh Ambani's wife, and Mukesh is not India 's richest but the second richest.

Mukesh is now building his new home, Residence Antillia (after a mythical, phantom island somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean ). At a cost of $1 billion this would be the most expensive home on the face of the planet. At 173 meters tall Mukesh's new family residence, for a family of six, will be the equivalent of a 60-storeyed building. The first six floors are reserved for parking. The seventh floor is for car servicing and maintenance.. The eighth floor houses a mini-theatre. Then there's a health club, a gym and a swimming pool. Two floors are reserved for Ambani family's guests. Four floors above the guest floors are family floors all with a superb view of the Arabian Sea On top of everything are three helipads. A staff of 600 is expected to care for the family and their family home.

In 2004, India became the 3rd most attractive foreign direct investment destination. Pakistan wasn't even in the top 25 countries.

In 2004, the United Nations, the representative body of 192 sovereign member states, had requested the Election Commission of India to assist the UN in the holding elections in Al Jumhuriyah al Iraqiyah and Dowlat-e Eslami-ye Afghanestan. Why the Election Commission of India and not the Election Commission of Pakistan? After all, Islamabad is closer to Kabul than is Delhi .

Imagine, 12 percent of all American scientists are of Indian origin; 38 percent of doctors in America are Indian; 36 percent of NASA scientists are Indians; 34 percent of Microsoft employees are Indians; and 28 percent of IBM employees are Indians.

For the record: Sabeer Bhatia created and founded Hotmail. Sun Microsystems was founded by Vinod Khosla. The Intel Pentium processor, that runs 90 percent of all computers, was fathered by Vinod Dham.

Rajiv Gupta co-invented Hewlett Packard's E-speak project. Four out often Silicon Valley start-ups are run by Indians. Bollywood produces 800 movies per year and six Indian ladies have won Miss Universe/Miss World titles over the past 10 years.

For the record: Azim Premji, the richest Muslim entrepreneur on the face of the planet, was born in Bombay and now lives in Bangalore.India now has more than three dozen billionaires; Pakistan has none (not a single dollar billionaire).

The other amazing aspect is the rapid pace at which India is creating wealth. In 2002, Dhirubhai Ambani, Mukesh and Anil Ambani's father, left his two sons a fortune worth $2.8 billion. In 2007, their combined wealth stood at $94 billion. On 29 October 2007, as a result of the stock market rally and the appreciation of the Indian rupee, Mukesh became the richest person in the world, with net worth climbing to US$63.2 billion (Bill Gates, the richest American, stands at around $56 billion). Indians and Pakistanis have the same Y-chromosome haplogroup. We have the same genetic sequence and the same genetic marker (namely: M124).
We have the same DNA molecule, the same DNA sequence. Our culture, our traditions and our cuisine are all the same. We watch the same movies and sing the same songs. What is it that Indians have and we don't?

INDIANS ELECT THEIR LEADERS!!

And also to mention: They think of Construction of own nation, unlike other nations who are just concerned with destruction of others...

Simple answer to why the Indians fare better than the Pakistanis - They don't focus on religion all the time and neither do they spend time and money in devising ways to kill their own and everyone else over religion.
