Welcome 2007

shyam — Mon, 01 Jan 2007 06:21:11 +0000

My title of this post says it all. Yes 2006

is gone and 2007

is here.

Like my friend Avadhoot Das said to me this evening that Jan 1 2007 is not the new year for us(ISKCON people), so Jan 1st is not a big celebration day for me. Our New Year is on Gaura Purnima.( If you guys want to know what Gaura Purnima means then please dont ask me…dont be lazy and please use Google.com to google it up )

Like last year, this year too I didnt celebrate 2006 ending and 2007 start with show or pomp but spent some time with one of my good friend and his family. His wife made some nice Italian pizza with nice healthy salad. Although my friend and his wife dont know to speak Hindi but they do enjoy watching some Bollywood flicks. Yeah, so we were watching VIVAAH. Yeah this movie is one good movie which I can recommend to someone who is going to get married soon.

While I write this blog post, many friends are bombing me wih “Happy New Year” messages and also many are online trying to get my attention. So I guess I have to end this one here.

Oh yeah I forgot to tell you… I am flying tomorrow to London by British Airways…so I guess I should sleep right? Yeah so I am ending this here…will post more soon.

By the way…I was supposed to register my machine for Vista upgrade for my new Acer laptop…so I guess I should go now.

Take care and yeah say ” Welcome 2007″

Pizza, Pasta and Salad with Mr. Basu Ghosh Das

shyam — Fri, 26 May 2006 23:28:22 +0000

Ok friends, finally I am in Los Angeles (referred LA now onwards) on a fun trip on the invitation of my long time friend Basu Ghosh Das – Temple President of ISKCON Baroda, Gujarat India.

Coming to LA was a dream come true for a Tourism and Travel Management student. I remember when I was doing my studies at Mithibai College for TTM (Tourism and Travel Management) we had a section called TICKETING and I remember word LAX used again and again; we used to calculate fare to LAX (airport code for Los Angeles, CA) and today I am here in the same city which I used to calculate dummy fare to.

On day 2, my friend Mr. Basu Ghosh planned to cook pizza for all of us (me that is Shyam Pandey, his mom, his daughter Madhavi and himself). I thought that he may make a pizza like a typical American people in a hasty style but I was taken by surprise that he is such a good Italian Cook and made Pizza, Pasta and also nice relishing salad in typical Italian style. Wow ! This is too much for today for me to write after eating a huge plate of it. So here are some pictures which I took from his 4 megapixel Panasonic Video Camera NV-GS400.

Salad – mixed with nice Italian spices.

Skype in US offers free calls scheme — It works

shyam — Tue, 16 May 2006 17:52:21 +0000

Skype, the internet voice-calling service, stepped up its efforts to gain a stronger foothold in the US on Monday, announcing free calls to landlines and mobile phones until the end of the year.

Skype, bought by the eBay

The Black Hole on dvd auction site last September for up to $4.1bn, said all US and Canadian-based Skype customers could now make free calls to traditional phone numbers within their borders using its SkypeOut service.

The move undercuts Yahoo Keeping the Faith ’s rival Phone Out service linked to its instant messenger program. Yahoo itself undercut Skype when it announced Phone Out for the US in March, which allowed users to call within the US and to more than 30 countries for 2 cents a minute or less.

Competition has become intense in the US, with Microsoft also introducing calling through its Windows Live Messenger program using Verizon’s Voice over Internet Protocol (Voip) service this month.

AOL has launched a service, and the instant messaging programs are competing with non-PC Voip services such as Vonage in offering cheaper phone calls routed over the internet.

Six months ago, Skype said only 15 per cent of its 66m users were based in the US. It passed 100m registered users this month, and Henry Gomez, general manager of Skype North America, said on Monday that the US proportion was growing.

“We think this will turbocharge growth even further … Skype in the US is still relatively small, and we thought the time was right for doing this here,” he said.

At eBay’s analyst day earlier this month, it revealed that Skype’s penetration of internet users in the US was 4 per cent compared with 8 per cent in the UK, 13 per cent in China and 20 per cent in Finland.

Nearly 8 per cent of Skype users used Skype Out and Skype revenues were $32m, almost all coming from SkypeOut. Level 3 provides Skype’s Voip service, but Skype itself and its parent will be bearing all the subsidy for the free service.

Skype upgraded its service last week to offer direct SMS messaging along with the existing voice, text and video services.

Government of Kazakhstan attempts to demolish cottages on temple land — another threat to Hindu Temple

shyam — Tue, 02 May 2006 23:07:47 +0000

The Game Plan video
April 25, 2006: The court executives of the Karasai district of the Almaty region started to demolish the cottages owned by the members of the Religious Organization Society for Krishna Consciousness in Karasai district.

The litigation of the Hakim (Governor) of the Karasai district of the Almaty region, in coordination with the Almaty Regional Territorial Department of the Land Resources Management, against the Society for Krishna Consciousness in Kazakhstan started many months ago and finally turned into a real tragedy. In his plaint the Hakim appeals to the court with the illegal request: to evict the members of the religious organization from their land, to confiscate their plots of land and transfer them to the land reserve of the Karasai district.

The members of the religious community received a notification about the planned demolition of their houses overnight. The next day the court executives in the presence of the officers of the local Hakimat (Governor office) and the police tried to start the demolition of one of the cottages. However the members of the Society, including children and elderly women, blocked the entrance to the building by ranging themselves in the path of the bulldozer. They stood out with the posters appealing to the President of Kazakhstan for help, asking him to stop the lawlessness. The policemen made several attempts to catch the members of the Society for Krishna Consciousness and throw them inside the police car.

“We are not going to leave our homes!” – with these words the followers of the Society for Krishna Consciousness stood on the defensive for many hours. Finally the court executives and the officers of the local administration left but promised to come back without fail.

The government accuses the owners of the cottages that they have not privatized their plots of land and do not have necessary documentation for the cottages situated on these plots of land.

The owners of the land repeatedly approached the Hakim of the Karasai district with the request to issue the acts of private ownership for the cottages and the plots of land, but the Hakim rejected all their applications. It is not possible to receive the technical documentation for the cottages without the acts of private ownership.

On February 21, 2005 an initiative group of 29 people applied to the Hakim with the purpose of receiving permission for privatization. The answer of the Hakim came on April 23, 2005, wherein he ordered that the submission of the initiative group would be considered for one month more.

Then the Hakim informed the defendants about the extension of the term of considering their application until May 23, 2005.

After which he brought claims against them on April 15, 2005, after neglecting to consider their application.

The Land Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan maintains and protects the rights of the land users. The land laws do not impose limitations on the period necessary to receive the acts of private use of land.

The Hakim’s motives are extraordinarily selfish, especially as he constantly accuses the cottage owners that their cottages were not privatized, and he is the only person authorized to give such permission for privatization.

Five cottages to be demolished have been mentioned in the executive list. All these cottages belong to the members of the Society. However the authorities say that this is only a beginning. Five more claims are currently considered by the court. The Hakimat officers have said that there are 12 more claims on the way. Actually the list of the court executive contained information of 47 houses of the followers of the Society for Krishna Consciousness, out of which five had to be demolished on April 25.

Each of the above mentioned claims is issued to individual citizens of Kazakhstan. Yet in each and every claim the connection of the defendants to the Religious Organization Society for Krishna Consciousness has been illustrated. This is a direct and flagrant violation of human rights and freedoms which are guaranteed by the Constitution of Kazakhstan. This is a direct transgression of the policy of the President of Kazakhstan who demonstrated great liberality by conducting the First Congress of World and Traditional Religions in Astana in 2003.

The members of the Religious Organization Society for Krishna Consciousness took part in that Congress. At that time spiritual unity of all the religions in Kazakhstan was declared. Let us ask what is happening with the religious freedom now, on the eve of the Second Congress, planned for September of 2006? In the situation with the Religious Organization Society for Krishna Consciousness we have a clear fact of religious intolerance displayed by the local executive authorities.

One of these days the government will again attempt to demolish the cottages.

Please illuminate this situation in mass media, give us your help so that the greed and self motivation of powerful individuals will not deny a religious community of what they have legally acquired and their right to exist. We are ready to present all the documents related to this case, pictures, and video materials.
