What Does History means... !!!

What does history mean to 'YOU' .. Recently i was thinking about the term 'History' ... i asked a few people... some websites..... 

My friend's grandma said about 5 generations before her ... and she was discussing their greatness and plunders. She was predicting that a cycle of 7 generations will have all status and categories of people in a single family. To be more specific, the same family will be honored / respected and treated like kings once in the 7 generations. In another one they will be almost cared to nothing. She was not clear of the number of kids at each level of family tree, but she knew about 3 generations before her and 2 generations after her which ranged for about 300 years or even more. We could even say she was a walking historical reference for the period from around 1700 till now . I believe her hypothesis which is ' there will be a top class generation will then degrade gradually and become insignificant and then grow from there to the most powerfully known and this happens in 7 generations' .. She said before that was history for her .. :) ... 

I was reading a blog about Chinese history ... One of the historian was asked about the English invasions and colonies.. he said it was too early to discuss about the consequences of their invasion... !!! He was backing with some events which were related to events relevant to the first trade route, which was used during 206 BC – 220 BC (Silk route .. i am not sure about the years .. may be built during this 14 yrs). I couldn't even guess what his meaning for the term History meant for him ... :P 

And during Bush administration america was having many treaties with other countries. America - Japan relations were strong now during the Iraq reconstruction, Japanese troops were working side by side with the American troops, who apparently nuked 2 of their most prosperous cities just 65 years back in WW2 ...  :-O 

Sooo... Is 'History' relative... i guess so... 

Prosper by Saving money...

Hi Friends... New year wishes.... Today morning my roomies were discussing about last months bills, debts ... they were all worried and shocked by seeing the power bill... all others except me in my room are employed... even then they were looking for more income... this might give u an understanding what level of debt they are in now.. 

Wasting hard earned Money

Here are some ideas to reduce the monthly bills... i dont know how to generate money but all of us can contribute on savings ... 

Power bills and Water bills are huge... 

• I dont tell that u take shower in cold water... i suggest u to take 10 min shover compared to 30 min shower... this ll save 20% of the total power bill ... cos heating water is the main part of total energy consumption... 
• Remove plugs from sockets.. even we dont switch on mobiles / laptops.. they pull power.. switch off unwanted lights .. during days.. use natural lighting where ever possible 
• Washing dishes ... with cold water will not cause any harm... ( when using dish washer ... use cold option )
• 1-degree thermostat reduction can save 3 percent on our heating bills... 
• Use low power consuming equipments.. now a days its easy finding those... look for 'ENERGY RATING'... 
• There are power monitors which can help in many ways to conserve power... 

There are millions of ways to reduce power bills... I dont like to waste your time in reading more... Guys.. i know you are all educated.. hi-profile holders... understand all what i said and will know for sure before i even came to know about these methods to save power.. but i know only a few people putting all these to action... i feel its high time to put these methods to work...  

Wishing you more savings this new year on power bills.. :)
