Surya Grahan 2009 - Solar eclipse in religous view

Posted by S Kafle on Sunday, July 19, 2009 , under | comments (0)



As said in the previous post, June 22 is going to be the day when the earth will witness the longest solar eclipse of the century. I will talk from religious view about the Solar Eclipse (Surya Grahan) in this post.

In Hindu Mythology, sun is swallowed by two demons Rahu and Ketu in the solar eclipse. People are not advised to eat, drink or sleep during, before and after sometimes the eclipse occurs. It is advised to take bath in a religious place. It is regarded as a wonderful time to perform any type of worships.

The July 22 Surya Grahan may bring a lot of changes if we look from religious views. here are some: (Source: The Himalayan Times- July 19, 2009)

1) In a span of 30 days 3 eclipses are going to take place - two lunar and one solar. The first recorded triple eclipse was in 3067 BC - the 18-day period of Mahabharata. Triple eclipses took place in series from 1910 to 1945 when wars like World War I, WW II, nuclear bombing took place. In Biblical stories triple eclipse are linked to destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

2) Financial problems in world may worsen which will improve by the end of year and Agricultural sector in Asia may face several issues due to scanty rainfall.

3)As said earlier war may outbreak and political instability may take place.

4) Psychological problem may arise.

5)Women may face stomach problem. Giving birth during this period is not advised.

This may not be true as many scientists and some astrologers too regard the eclipse as a good sign rather than the cause of violence and irregularities. Scientists believe it to be a chance to perform a lot of research and discoveries.

Posted by S Kafle on Saturday, July 18, 2009 , under | comments (0)



On July 22, 2009 the earth will witness the longest 'total' solar eclipse of 21st century which will be visible from many parts of Asia including northern India, Eastern Nepal, China, Myanmmar and parts of Pacific ocean. The maximum time of the total eclipse will be 6 minutes and 39 seconds in Southern Japan. It will remain the longest till July 13, 2132. But next total solar Eclipse will be visible in 11 July, 2010. In this eclipse, it would be completely dark as in night.

What is a total Solar Eclipse?
Total solar eclipse occurs when the Sun is completely obscured by the Moon. The intensely bright disk of the Sun is replaced by the dark silhouette of the Moon. Total solar eclipse can be observed from a small part of the world. Unlike partial eclipse, whole part of sun will be hidden by Moon in total solar eclipse.

What will be the path of total solar eclipse?
The eclipse will start from India, to Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan China and Ryukyu island of Japan from where it curves toward the south i.e Pacific ocean. See this map of solar total eclipse. It will travel about 15,150 km in earth surface where it remains about 3 hours and 25 minutes.

Where will be the total solar eclipse be seen?
As said earlier, it would be seen in Northern India which includes Surat, Indore, Bhopal, Varanasi and Patna. Eastern Part of Nepal including Dharan, Ithari, Biratnagar and Mechinagar will also witness total solar eclipse. In China it will be seen in Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Hefei, Hangzhou and Shanghai. Northern tip of Myanmar will also witness the total eclipse. Some part of Bhutan and many places in the Pacific will witness total eclipse.
However, partial eclipse can be seen from all parts of India, Nepal, China and most Asian countries and those in Oceania.

What is the best place for Eclipse to be seen?
Taregana in Bihar of India which is 25 km from Patna will be the best place to watch the solar eclipse. The surya grahan would be most clear from that place.

Ishq Bector eliminated from Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao

Posted by S Kafle on Friday, July 17, 2009 , under , | comments (1)



According to some of the sources, Ishq Vector is going to be the first contestant to be out from Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao. Sources claim that Ishq was in the bottom two with another contestant Anaida where he was given a task in "Maha Jungle Challenge". Being unable to do it, the hip-hop singer got out from the Jungle. It is said that the task was related to aquarium.

Its the votes of audience which decides who are going to be in bottom two. It seems people didn't like his attitude though he got 10 stars in the Jungle task. Ishq may be a surprise for most of the audiences as Palak was regarded as the most likable to be out. With lots of drama and hypes, the first week of the Jungle series finishes today with an elimination.

To confirm the news, watch Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao on Sony TV at 9:00 IST today (Friday, 17th July)

Sach ka Samna - review

Posted by S Kafle on , under , , | comments (0)



Sach ka Saamna, hosted by Rajeev Khandelwal shown on Star Plus. It an Indian version of internationally popular show "Moment of Truth". Rajeev Khandelwal has made a comeback in television world by hosting this show. The program is ok and Rajeev has done of very good job of being the host. Star Plus which has lost the no.1 spot recently can come back to original position with these types of shows.

The format of the show:
Before the show, the contestant is asked 51 yes/no questions hooked in a polygraph(lie-detector) among which 21 questions are asked in the main show in 6 groups. There is no polygraph in the actual show but the answer is already recorded based on which the yes/no answer is detected. The questions may be personal, emotional and family questions which may be very difficult to answer in front of the family members. If the answers are wrong or the contestant wishes not to play, the game ends. The total prize is Rs. 1 crore. Any wrong answer means no money. As the questions come on, they become more and more personal. The answers may break many hearts.

The show will feature a lot of people crying in the sets with heat-breaking answers. On other hand, many people opt to admit their secrets in front of the loved ones through this program. Unlike most of quiz shows, the best part of the show is that you know what questions can come and also know the answer. The show has created a lot of hype in TV world with the news of Vinod Kambli. It is said that Kambli will reveal some secrets about him and Sachin Teldulkar.

I would suggest you to watch the show once and decide yourself. The show is shown from Monday to Friday at 10:30 PM.
