Shortage of red roses in the city

Posted on by Rakesh HP

This year the climate has affected rose production in areas such as Pune, Bangalore, Delhi and Kolkata. Valentine’s Day is incomplete without the roses and there is a huge demand for roses in the town.

A local rose stick that earlier cost Rs 10 is now selling at Rs 20 and Rs 30 with decorations, while the imported red roses which usually are available at Rs 30 per stick are selling for Rs 45-50 and Rs 60 (with decorations) per stick.

The low production of red roses in the region and the whole of northern India has caused an acute shortage of red roses in the city. There is a huge demand for roses and youngsters are not ready to give a second thought while purchasing roses for their dear ones.

Women would be pleased to receive gadget as gift on Valentine’s Day

Posted on by Rakesh HP

According to a new study, Woman would be more pleased to receive electronics rather than traditional gifts, like roses and chocolates, on Valentine’s Day.

Valentines Day 2012 is here and love birds are in search of unique Valentine’s Day Gift. The study from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) found eight in 10 women now expressing an interest in consumer electronics (CE) products.

The women’s interest in technology has increased in the last five years. There is an increase of 10 percentage points over the previous study in 2007. In the previous study the CE spending gap was closer to 200 dollars. But, now, On average, men spent 728 dollars on CE purchases in the past 12 months while women spent 667 dollars during the same period, a difference of 61 dollars.

Women, however, are far less likely to claim ownership of most CE products. The study shows that women are more likely to consider CE products as “household” products such as TVs and DVD players, to be shared with a spouse, partner, roommate or child. But when it comes to newer and mobile technologies, such as e-readers, notebook computers and smartphones, women were more likely than men to claim sole ownership.

Kids using Social networking are practising 21st century skills

Posted on by Rakesh HP

Convince your parents and teachers that spending time on social networking sites is not all that bad.

If you (parents) are worried that your children are spending most of their time on networking sites, according to studies there are educational benefits of social networking sites. Such websites offer tremendous educational potential. The educators have a vast opportunity to support and influence what students are learning online.

“We found out that students using networking sites are actually practising the kind of 21st century skills we need to develop to be successful today,” said Christine Greenhow, a learning technologies researcher in the university and principal investigator of the study.

The researchers have found out that very few students were actually aware of these opportunities. So, to convince their parents, they will first have to make good use of this platform.

Let the child listen to the voice of his or her own stomach – Rujuta Diwekar

Posted on by Rakesh HP

Nutrition Consultant explained to the group that it is important for them to respect a child’s taste buds. Illustrating her point further, she said that most children are constantly distracted while they eat. Parents either divert children with television or other things to make them eat.

Each child’s body gives him or her signals on what it needs. The only person who can understand these signals is the child himself. Giving an example , she said that a child who has dal chawal in the earliest eating years starts detesting dal after the age of two and wants only rice with ghee or sugar. This happens because the body needs amino acid till the age of two, which it gets from the dal. But, thereafter, the body doesn’t need any more amino acid so the child stops liking dal.

So if parents complain that a child eats too much junk, they must first see what they themselves eat. Parents need to make their child understand what is junk food and what is healthy for them and the choice should then be left on them. As long as a child’s body does not hamper his or her activities and is not a burden to the child, then no matter what shape -skinny , healthy, fat-the child is, he or she is all right.

Why do readers share honest blogs more?

Posted on by Rakesh HP

This articles was inspired from economic times featured article on Employee blogs. Their article was discussing about employees blogs and need for encouraging employees to blog. I too agree with thier article that an employee writing blog should be honest blog and not a blog post to increase company PR. Readers subscribe and more likely to return to blogs to reader his or her other posts.

If an employee discuss negative posts, the reader attaches greater credibility. Employee blogs would be shared for following reasons.

First, Employee blogs that contain honest criticism about the company are perceived to be more credible with readers. Readers feel goodwill towards such bloggers and reciprocate by sharing their blog with others, thereby improving the blogger’s stature.

Second,readers take pride in sharing their “discovery” with others, thereby improving their own stature.

Third, honest blog postings are considered interesting because they are unexpected, and consequently get more publicity in the traditional media as well as from other bloggers.

Company benefits tremendously from having an army of employees who are credible bloggers.When there are new developments that the company wants to share with its stakeholders (such as a new product launch, a recruitment effort, or a new corporate initiative), it is much easier to get the word out through employee blogs.

Ensure Employees maintain professional standards and not reveals confidential information such as financial performance or information about new product launches etc.
