Gujarat International Finance Tec -City…GIFT…India”s First Smart City !!!
India’s first smart city takes shape
KIRAN SHARMA, Nikkei staff writer

Gujarat, one of India’s largest manufacturing hubs and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state, is the site of the country’s first smart city built from scratch.
Launched in 2007, Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT) is Modi’s dream project and a joint venture between the Gujarat state government and Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services.
The $12 billion smart city, located 12km from Ahmedabad international airport and 8km from the state capital, Gandhinagar, aims to become a global financial hub, offering international companies world-class infrastructure.
“The project is attracting a number of companies. The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Brokers’ Forum has been allotted 300,000 sq. feet (27,870 sq. meters) in GIFT city for development of a commercial tower,” Gujarat Finance Minister Saurabhbhai Patel told the Nikkei Asian Review.
The BSE Brokers’ Forum is shifting its back office operations to a $20 million tower in GIFT city from Mumbai to cut costs. “With Gujarat being a low-cost center, naturally the cost there is lower than Bombay,” said Alok Churiwala, vice chairman of BSE Brokers’ Forum, which has stake of about 40% in the BSE.
The BSE is the world’s largest stock exchange in terms of listed companies with more than 5,000. More stock exchanges from around the world are expected to set up operations in GIFT city in the coming years. GIFT plans to attract 6-8% of India’s financial services to the new smart city.
The 358 hectare smart city is still being built, however developers are trying to speed up construction.
Gujarat, which had strong growth during Modi’s tenure as its chief minister, accounts for 16% of manufacturing in India and 25% of the country’s exports. “Gujarat ports also handle 33% of India’s cargo,” Patel said.
The idea for GIFT city came about after Modi visited Hong Kong’s International Finance Center. A report by McKinsey & Co. found that financial services in India were contributing 5% to the country’s gross domestic product and that the figure is expected to rise to 15-20% by 2020.
“Gujarat has been doing well in manufacturing and trading, and needed to do something in the services sector so that there’s a balance in the economy,” Dipesh Shah, GIFT city’s vice president, told the Nikkei Asian Review.
“GIFT city’s development will happen in three four-year phases, starting in 2012, 2016 and 2020,” Shah said. GIFT city’s tallest building, the Diamond Tower, will be 410 meters high and built in the last phase of development, Shah said.
Twelve million out of the 13 million sq feet (1.2 million square meters) earmarked for development in the first phase has been filled. “Banks like HDFC, Bank of India and Bank of Baroda have already taken space in the first of the two towers built,” Shah said. Other organizations like Tata Communications, World Trade Center and State Bank of India are building their own offices.
Most of GIFT city, 67%, has been zoned for commercial development, 22% for residential development and 11% is for social facilities. A school, hospital, club, five-star hotel and a university are also planned.
“The International Finance Services Center (IFSC) at GIFT city is the only place in India where you can do offshore banking, offshore insurance and offshore asset management. Its operating guidelines are due in about four to six months, following which the city will become functional,” Shah said. He also said things are moving at a much faster pace since Modi became prime minister in May.
“If India does not develop an IFSC, then every year from 2015 we will start losing $50 billion to places like London, Singapore and Dubai, which have financial service centers,” said Shah.
According to Shah, GIFT city will create 1 million new jobs: 500,000 in capital-market trading and core financial services, and 500,000 support staff jobs.
He said the focus now is on developing infrastructure. “Most of GIFT city’s infrastructure is a first for India. A district cooling system will be operational by December, following which we will not require individual air conditioning. We are also working on an automated waste management system and a utility tunnel. We have connected all utilities to a common command and operation center.”
Shah said Japanese companies have also shown interest in GIFT city. “Jetro (The Japan External Trade Organization) and some other Japanese organizations are planning to visit the site. Japanese companies are strong in infrastructure development and smart technology, and GIFT provides both. This is the first smart city to go operational in India,” he said.
The Modi government wants to build 100 smart cities in India. During Modi’s recent visit to Japan he briefed Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on his smart cities project and his plan to renew heritage cities, such as Varanasi. Abe expressed support for his plans.
The U.S government also welcomed India’s offer for American companies to be the lead partner in developing smart cities in Ajmer, Vishakhapatnam and Allahabad.
And the Canadian government also said it is keen to partner with India to build smart cities, pointing out Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary are among world’s top 10 smart cities.

Top 5 Kitchen Items as Home Remedies !!!
These are the top 5 kitchen items for first aid and health care.
- Apple cider vinegar
- Garlic
- Coconut oil
- Aloe Vera
- Ginger
Apple Cider Vinegar
Raw, organic apple cider vinegar is amazing. Many people swear by it as a preventative, taking shots each day. It is a probiotic, therefore it helps keep the gut healthy. It’s other uses include:
- Ear infections: At the first sign of an ear infection, lay on your side and use a dropper to fill the ear canal with apple cider vinegar. Catch it early enough, and one dose is all you need. Apple cider vinegar kills bacteria and yeast infections.
- Fungus: In addition to ears, apple cider vinegar applied directly will kill fungal infections on the skin, including athlete’s foot.
- Sore throats: Gargle with apple cider vinegar. Just don’t breath in the fumes. Yes, it burns. But moments later, your throat will not hurt.
- Bug bites: Apple cider vinegar is a time honored cure for mosquito bites.
- Take a shot if you have heartburn. It works!
- Vaginal yeast infections: Use in a douche. Add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to 8 ounces of filtered water.
- Zits: Dab on pimples and acne to kill bacteria and restore proper pH to the skin.
Garlic
Garlic is antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic. Who needs antibiotics when we have garlic? At the first sign of illness, chew garlic. It’s not for the faint of heart, I agree. But practice helps. One of my first attempts at natural medicine was to place a small garlic clove in my ear to treat an ear infection. Don’t do it. Mine got stuck.
- Infection: Chew garlic for any systemic infection. Better yet, use raw garlic often and abundantly in your diet for preventative care.
- Fungus: Garlic can be diced up and used to treat fungal skin infections.
- Vaginal Infections: Insert a garlic clove into the vagina at night. For easier retrieval, sew a string through the core.
Aloe vera
Few things are as soothing to the skin as aloe vera.
- Burns: Break open a piece of aloe vera and rub over a burn.
- Irritated Skin: Spread aloe vera over affected skin.
- Superficial Injuries: Cuts, scrapes, bug bites, acne. Spread aloe vera over affected area.
Coconut oil
Coconut oil is antibacterial and antifungal and it is so soothing for any skin issues. You can add essential oils to treat nail fungus or to make bug repellent. (See the first source below for a couple of homemade toothpaste recipes.)
- Use for oil pulling. Coconut oil is good for the teeth and gums and is reported to whiten the teeth. It can be used as a toothpaste alone or used as a base with other ingredients (see the first source below for homemade toothpaste recipes).
- Irritated skin. Every variety of irritated skin will benefit from coconut oil. Great for baby’s bottoms and adult nether regions as well.
Ginger
One of ginger’s claims to fame is its ability to cure nausea. While garlic is miraculous for cleansing the body of parasites, viruses, and bacteria, it can cause severe nausea. Follow garlic with ginger to calm the stomach.
- If fresh ginger is taken at the first sign of a migraine, it will stop a migraine before it can take hold. Juice fresh ginger with apples or apples and carrots. (We don’t get migraines, but we know people who do. This is a miraculous treatment.)
- Chew ginger or juice it for a ginger shot.
These are the basics to always keep on hand. For a complete list of natural health care items to fully stock your “medicine chest” check out My Organic Pharmacy and Bullet Proof Your Immune System.

The Town Where Everyone Wears a Gas Mask…Miyakejima in South East Japan …
The age old adage home is where the heart is finds its true meaning in Miyakejima, a small island located in southeast Japan. Despite the high level of volcanic activity that causes poisonous gas to leak from the earth that forced the 3,600 island residents to evacuate in 2000, the citizens just won’t stay away. Thus, the self-appointed gas mask town rose from the, very literal, ashes.
Resting atop a chain of volcanoes, Miyakejima is a hub for volcanic activity. For the past century, the volcanoes have erupted six times. The worst of these occurred in June 2000 when, after a repose interval of 17 years, Mount Oyama erupted. The eruption was proceeded by 17,500 (yes, 17 thousand) earthquakes, which hit the island between June 26 and July 21.
During the assault of eruptions and earthquakes, Miyakejima was enveloped in ash plumes reaching 10 miles in height, pyroclastic flow (fast flow of superheated gas), and heavy ash fall alongside crater collapses. The disaster also led to high levels of toxic sulfur dioxide regularly leaking up through the ground, making 20% of the land uninhabitable. After three months, the government took action and forced a mass evacuation in September.
For five years, Miyakejima was declared off-limits, with the barren island resembling a post-apocalyptic world: all dead trees, rusted cars, and abandoned buildings. For two years after the eruption, Mount Oyama continued to emit 10,000 to 20,000 tons of sulfuric dioxide gas from its summit daily. Slowly though, the evacuation order began to lift, and in 2005 citizens were allowed to return to their homes.
Though some opted to remain in their relocated houses in Tokyo, about 2,800 chose to return, laden with gas masks and dire warnings about noxious gas still seeping through the land. Despite the re-populating of the island, nearly a third of Miyakejima remains permanently off-limits and the government conducts regular health checks and enforces age restrictions in certain areas.
Regardless of the dangers posed by living in the gas-soaked village, locals and tourists are in abundance. Gas mask tourism is a huge draw card for the region, with disposable masks sold at ferry stations and local stores. The volcanic destruction is also a money spinner, with sight-seeing tours of abandoned houses, flattened cars and a school gym half-destroyed by lava, as well as hot spring baths.

World”s Largest e-Wasteland…. Agbogbloshie, Ghana …
Ever wonder what happens to your electronics when you toss them out for the latest model? A child in Ghana might be picking over them right now.
It’s known by others as “Sodom and Gomorrah”. What was once a wetland has quickly turned into a vast wasteland filled with electronic equipment that the developed world has simply grown tired of. Welcome to Agbogbloshie, Ghana.
In the 1990s, as personal computers became more commonplace in wealthy countries, industrialized nations began to send functional, secondhand computers to West Africa as a way to reduce the “digital divide” between the rich and poor. However, as more electronics firms entered market and turnover rates inevitably increased, these transfers became less about aid and more about easy-outs for those who didn’t want to assume the industry’s increased recycling costs. Add to that grim economic conditions and living standards in other parts of Ghana and the fact that Agbogbloshie was home to refugees of the Kokomba and the Nanumba war, and it’s not unfathomable as to why the Accra suburb looks the way it does today.
While the UN’s Basel Convention is meant to prevent the proliferation of Agbogbloshies around the world, key parties–namely the United States, the biggest electronic waste exporter to Ghana–have not ratified it. For those countries that have done so, loopholes like labeling electronic waste as “development aid” or “second-hand products” make Basel’s requirements a lot less stringent. Hundreds of millions of tons of electronic waste are sent to Agbogbloshie every year, with workers (some starting at the age of six) ingesting carcinogens like cadmium, arsenic, lead and flame retardants every time they burn an electronic item in search of valuable metal. Most Agbogbloshie workers live on fewer than five dollars a day, and die from cancer in their mid 20s.

Longest and Shortest Dreamliner Routes In the World…
As United Airlines launches the longest Dreamliner route to date, here at Routesonline we decided to look at the top 10 longest and shortest Dreamliner routes in the world.
United Airlines announced earlier this year that they were introducing a new route between Los Angeles and Melbourne starting from October 26, 2014 using Boeing 787-9 aircraft.
The 787-9’s extended range – 13,760 kilometres compared to the 787-8’s 13,197 kilometres enables United to launch the new service, which will be the longest Dreamliner route in the world to date.
Flying times will be approximately 15 hours, 45 minutes’ westbound and 14 hours, 35 minutes eastbound and United has timed the new flights to conveniently connect at Los Angeles with an extensive network throughout the US, Canada and Latin America.
We took a look at the top 10 longest and shortest Dreamliner routes in the world:

Message For the Day…” God’s Arithmetic is Different from that of Human beings…”
In the cosmic context, Nature is the mirror, God is the viewer. All that is reflected in Nature is Divine. God alone exists everywhere. The object and the image appear because of the presence of the mirror. When there is no mirror, there is no image! God’s arithmetic is different from that of human beings. When a mirror is placed before you, you have three entities – you, the mirror and your image. When you take away one from three, according to normal arithmetic, there must be two entities, because ‘3 – 1 = 2’. However in the cosmic arithmetic, there is no ‘two’ because when the mirror is removed, only ‘you’ remain! This is the mystery relating to Nature and the wonders of the Lord. The glories of the Lord are multifarious and marvelous, beyond words.

விவசாயி மருதமுத்து, அவரது மனைவி வாசுகி. படம்: என்.தங்கரெத்தினம்
விவசாயத்தைக் கைவிட்டு நகர்ப்புறங்களுக்கு குடிபெயரும் இன்றைய சூழலில் சாஃப்ட்வேர் இன்ஜினியர் இப்போது விவசாயத்துக்குத் திரும்பியுள்ளார்.
அதுவும் இயற்கை வேளாண் முறையின்மூலம் லட்சங்களைக் குவிக்கும் லாபகரமான தொழிலாகவும் விவசாயத்தை மாற்றி மற்றவர்களுக்கு முன்னோடியாகத் திகழ்கிறார் மருதமுத்து.
இயற்கை விவசாயத்தைக் கடைப்பிடித்து தென்னை சாகுபடி செய்தால் ஒரு தலைமுறை உட்கார்ந்து சாப்பிடலாம் என்பதை இவர் நிரூபித்துள்ளார். பட்டதாரி ஆசிரியரான தனது மனைவியுடன் கிராமத்தில் விவசாயத்தில் ஈடுபட்டு விவசாயமும் லாபகரமான தொழில்தான் என்பதை நிரூபித்துள்ளார்.
திண்டுக்கல் அருகே தவமடையில் 9 ஏக்கர் நிலத்தை வாங்கி அதில் இயற்கை முறையில் தனது மனைவி வாசுகியுடன் இணைந்து தென்னை, ரோஜா, சம்பங்கி மற்றும் காய்கறிகளை சாகுபடி செய்து வருகிறார்.
தனது அனுபவத்தைப் பற்றி அவர் கூறியது: “ஒவ்வொருஇளைஞர்களிடம் விவசாயி என்ற உள்ளுணர்வு தூங்கிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது. அதைத்தட்டி எழுப்பினால் அவன் விவசாயியாகி விடுவான். சென்னையில் சாஃப்ட் வேர்இன்ஜினியராக லட்சக்கணக்கில் சம்பாதித்தாலும், மனைவி, குழந்தைகளுடன் நேரத்தை செலவிட முடியவில்லை.
ஓய்வே இல்லாமல் ஓடிய நகர்ப்புற வாழ்க்கை மீது எனக்கு ஒரு கட்டத்தில் சலிப்பு தட்டியது. இந்தத் தொழிலை விட்டால் அடுத்து விவசாயம்தான் என்னுடைய தேர்வாக இருந்தது. அன்றாடம் விவசாயிகள் தற்கொலைனு வரும் செய்திகள் என்னை மிரட்டின. விவசாயித்தில் கால் அனாகாசு கூட மிஞ்சாதுப்பா என்று பலர் கூறினர்.
இயற்கை விவசாயம் என்றதும்,அதுவெல்லாம் நம்ம நிலத்தில் சாத்தியமில்லைனு பயமுறுத்தினர். விவசாயத்தை லாபகரமான தொழிலாக மாற்றி ஜெயித்துக் காட்ட வேண்டும் என்ற வெறி எனக்குள் இருந்தது. சொந்த ஊரில் 9 ஏக்கர் நிலம் வாங்கினேன். விவசாயம் செய்யத் தொடங்கினேன். படிச்ச படிப்புக்கு ஏற்ற வேலையை பார்க்காமல் விவசாயம் செய்ய வந்துட்டான்னு என்னை ஏளனம் செய்யாதவர்களே கிடையாது.
இன்று அவர்களே என்னிடம், என்ன பயிர் செய்யலாம், என்ன ரகம் பயிரிடலாம் என ஆலோசனை கேட்கின்றனர்.அந்த அளவுக்கு என்னுடைய தோட்டத்தில் இயற்கை முறையில் பயிரிட்ட தென்னை, சம்பங்கி, கால உணவு பயிர்களை ஒவ்வொன்றிலும் கைநிறைய வருமானம்கிடைக்கிறது.
கூலி வேலைக்கு ஆட்களை வைத்துக் கொள்வதில்லை. நானும்,எனது மனைவியுமே நாற்று நடுவோம். தண்ணீர் பாய்ச்சுவோம். அறுவடை செய்வோம். மார்க்கெட்டுக்கு எடுத்துச் செல்வோம். பெருமைக்காக சொல்லவில்லை. என்னை பார்த்து 100 இளைஞர்கள் விவசாயத்திற்கு வரனும்னு நினைச்சேன். இன்று ஒவ்வொரு மாவட்டத்திலும் 20, 30 படித்தவர்கள் விவசாயம்செய்கின்றனர். இது என்னுடைய இயற்கை விவசாயத்திற்கு கிடைத்த வெற்றி என்றார்.
திண்டுக்கல்லில் கடந்த 4 ஆண்டாக மழையே இல்லை. மாவட்டத்தில் 60 சதவீதம்தென்னை மரங்கள் அழிந்துவிட்டன. ஆனால், என்னுடைய தோட்டத்தில் ஒரு தென்னமரம் கூட பட்டுப் போகவில்லை. மொத்தம் 250 தென்னை மரங்கள் வைத்துள்ளேன். ஒரு மரத்தில் சாதாரணமாக 40 காய் கிடைக்கிறது. மாதம் 45 ஆயிரம் ரூபாய் வருமானம் கிடைக்கிறது. இவ்வளவுக்கும் தண்ணீரே பாய்ச்சுவதில்லை.
பராமரிப்பு செலவே இல்லை. அதற்குக் காரணம், இயற்கை விவசாயம் முறையில் செய்த நடவுமுறை. 4-க்கு 4 அடி என்ற அளவில் குழி தோண்டி, அதில் கப்பி மணல் கொட்டினேன். மாட்டு சாணம், சிறுநீரை அடி உரமாக போட்டு தென்னை மரக்கன்றுகளை நட்டேன். தென்னை மரம் அதிக தண்ணீரை ஈர்க்கும். கப்பி மணல் போட்டதால் மழைக் காலத்தில் தண்ணீரை ஈர்த்து வைத்துக் கொண்டு 3 முதல் 6 மாதம் வரை மரத்திற்கு தண்ணீர் கொடுக்கிறது. ஒரு தென்னை மரத்தின் வயது 80 ஆண்டு.
மனிதனின் சராசரி ஆயுள் 60 ஆண்டு. இயற்கை விவசாயத்தில் தென்னை மரங்களைப் பயிரிட்டால் ஒரு தலைமுறைக்கு உட்கார்ந்து சாப்பிடலாம். 60 சென்ட் நிலத்தில் சம்பங்கி பயரிட்டுள்ளேன். இதிலும் ஆண்டுக்கு ரூ. 5.50 லட்சம் வருமானம்கிடைக்கிறது. செலவு போக மாதம் 30 ஆயிரம் லாபம் கிடைக்கிறது. என்னுடையஅடுத்த இலக்கு ரோஜா. இப்போதுதான் ரோஜாவை இயற்கை விவசாயத்தில் சாகுபடி செய்துள்ளேன். இதிலும் நிச்சயம் ஜெயிப்போம்” என்றார் நம்பிக்கையுடன்.

” Where Does the word Robot Come From … ” ?
Where does the word robot come from?
The word robot was coined by artist Josef Čapek, the brother of famed Czechoslovakian author Karel Čapek. Karel Čapek was, among other things, a science fiction author before there was something officially known as science fiction, in subject matter along the same vein as George Orwell. He introduced the word in a play called R.U.R. The full title translating into English as Rossum’s Universal Robots, which debuted in January of 1921.
While writing this play, he struggled to come up with a word to name the robots, initially settling on ‘laboři’, from the Latin ‘labor’. He discussed this with his brother, Josef, and Josef suggested ‘roboti’, which gave rise to the English ‘robot’. ‘Roboti’ derives from the Old Church Slavanic ‘rabota’, meaning ‘servitude’, which in turn comes from ‘rabu’, meaning ‘slave’.
The robots in R.U.R. were not mechanical, as we think of robots today; they actually weren’t all that different from humans themselves. They were biological beings created to do work for humans, more or less indistinguishable from humans in appearance and even with full cognitive abilities. Eventually the robots become ubiquitous, taking over pretty much every job for mankind. At a certain point, they get tired of doing all the work for the lazy humans who contribute nothing to the world and whose population is dwindling from forgetting how to reproduce, so decide to kill everyone off, which they do, excepting one human who “still works with his hands”, so he is spared.
Just before they finish killing all the humans, the makers of the robots destroy the formula for creating new robots. The robots then task the remaining single human with coming up with the formula using whatever means necessary (even killing robots to dissect them). He fails, but two of the robots end up falling in love and we’re left with the impression that they’ll reproduce together and become the foundation for a new civilization.
The robots in this story then more resemble what we now would call ‘androids’. If you’re curious, the first documented mention of the word ‘android’ is in the 18th century Ephraim Chambers’ Cyclopaedia, “Albertus Magnus is recorded as having made a famous androides”. Android derives from the Greek ὰνδρο (andro-), meaning ‘man’, and the suffix -ειδῄς (-eides), meaning “form, likeness, appearance, or resemblance”; hence the definition of android being “automaton resembling a human being”.
The android reference in the Cyclopaedia supposedly (with emphasis on ‘supposedly’) made by German philosopher Albertus Magnus was an artificial being he made using the “angels from the netherworld” and the powers of the philosopher’s stone that he created from the “metals and material unknown to this world…” The project was said to have taken him 30 years to achieve and when he completed the android his student, St. Thomas, supposedly destroyed the “diabolic being” and denounced it as a “tool of Satan and blasphemy to God”.
The famed aphesis of the word android, ‘droid’, was coined by none other than George Lucas and first appeared in Star Wars: A New Hope. Lucas recently managed to hastily trademark the word before Verizon was able to do so, thus Verizon now has to pay Lucas for the use of the word with their Droid line of phones. You can read more about this here: The Word Droid is a Registered Trademark of Lucasfilm Ltd.
