Iceland offers Gujarat Companies tie-ups in the field of Geo-Thermal Energy

I read this in Hindu-Business Line: Mr. Gudmundur Eriksson, Ambassador of Iceland in India was at a meeting of Assocham-Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India regional office in Ahmedabad, and offered technological tie-up in the field of producing geo-Thermal energy. Iceland is among one of the world's (and probably the highest) leading producers and users of Geo-Thermal energy. This is a form of renewable energy, like water, solar and wind, and is produced by using the heat trapped inside the earth. As per Mr. Eriksson, producing Geo-Thermal energy incurs 1/3 rd of the cost of equivalent Solar energy and Iceland already has technological tie-ups with Abu Dhabi, Kenya and Sudan. I believe that if this tie up happens, it will be a great news not only for Gujrat but for India as a whole. There would be a boost for Energy generation as well as potential money spinner in the future, when India could as well export the acquired knowledge of generating Geo-Thermal energy. However, a lot depends on whether and how many tie-ups take place actually.

India's exciting one wicket win over Australia in Mohali test

In an exciting finish in the first test match at Mohali, India beat Australia by 1 wicket. India had to make 216 to win, and at 1 stage India were 124 for 8. Then V.V.S.Laxman and Ishant Sharma had a superb partnership of 81 runs and took India to victory. Laxman remained unbeated on 73, and Ishant made 31. The place where I am currently staying does not subscribes to the sports channel showing this match, but I would surely love to watchthe highlights of this match.

What is this street's name ?

This is another of my Chennai experiences. I had this experience on the street where I stayed at a guest house location till 30th September morning. The street on which I lived is called as "Neelkanda Mehta" street. However, on many homes as well as some other places, it is written as "Neelkanda Metha" street. I have asked other people too. However, I have not found a satisfactory answer.

Evolution and Creationism - My Viewpoint

Whenever someone mentions something related to Evolution ; or whether God created all Animals , Humans ;or whether it is all a play of evolutionary Process; I become very much engrossed. It is a topic in which I have a unique interest . At a personal level,I favour the Theory of Evolution . True , the theory that God created everything does has its valid points . It also has many people supporting it . Points that make the God's creation Theory (as such this is not the name of the Theory , but I call it like this ) : 1)Evolutionists say that Man evolved from Apes who in turm evolved from some Amphibian creatures ,who in tuirn were evolving from Reptiles or Fish and so on . yet ; who created the most basic Life Form ? It must have been God . 2)Who decided when Big Bang has to happen or why Earth only had to be habitable long enough ? True , Mars also has some signs of Life Supporting conditions , but no Life has been detected as such . 3)Why Man only...
