Kota Ride on Dinosaur - Kids Will Just Love This Triceratops
Kids have held a long-term fascination with all things dinosaur, with movies, toys, and games accommodating this market. Once kids discover the magic of this creature, they will recreate entire fantasies that revolve around the pre-historic era. This has given rise to a great new concept in toys that combines all the elements of play into one fantastic ride.
Kota, the Triceratops, is a life size toy that children can ride. This lovable dinosaur stands at 40" tall, which makes him large enough for most kids. He has lifelike skin and features, and with his believable looks, your kids will believe he is. What a neat way to surprise your kids. Can you imagine the looks on their faces when they see a DINOSAUR in their room?
For riding adventures, Kota has a spring-loaded seat. There is a handle discretely hidden behind his head so your children will be safe while riding. This dinosaur actually moves and gives the impression of being alive. Your children can get on his back and disappear into imagination. The kids are going to love it!
In addition to all of his physical features, this dinosaur has sensors throughout, which allow him to react to your child's touch and movements. He will make dinosaur noises when his head get patted or stroked, and he plays jungle sounds from the speaker system. He has adventure tunes with the push of a button, and he roars back a dino-answer when asked a question. He fast becomes more than an inanimate object; he becomes part of the family.

I Love My (Discrimi) Nation
India is world's largest democracy, world's fastest growing free market economy, and a country where discrimination is still observed, a country where one voice raised leads to one voiceless. A few days back, I saw a small kid selling 'channa masala' near my college premises. Though the fact that a child was doing it bothered me, but what bothered me more was a young lady buyer, a student from our esteemed college, calling him 'chamaar'. A lot of us are unaware of the fact that calling anyone by that name is non permissible under the law and is also a non bailable offense. A few months back a Delhi University teacher was jailed for calling a fellow colleague by that name.
These are only two of the millions of incidents. Today I will be writing on various such discriminatory incidents. From the beginning of time, India has been witnessing caste system practices. In this practice many castes have been facing discrimination. Dalits or out castes have been treated as a sub-human class of untouchables. 'Dalits' literally means "broken or crushes". On 29th September, 08, when I was conducting a research for this article I came across an article, reading which my heart were filled with grief, sorrow and shame.
On 26th December, 04 India witnessed one of the biggest disasters, the Tsunami. The Government of India had ordered relief operations in states of the South. Little did it know that these operations were being carried out with caste as a determining factor. Villages like Kadapakuppam and Pattipulam of Kachipuram in Tamil Nadu, which are homes to the so called 'untouchables', received no immediate relief whatsoever. 175 families in Kadapakuppam and 280 in Pattipulam have suffered. Despite complaints no Government official had gone to their aid. This is just a story of the South, in a Government school in Uttar Pradesh, Dalit students were given the worst treatment by teachers who were later handed over to the police when a local Government official made a surprise visit to the school.
These incidents are indicative of the persistent caste discrimination throughout the country. It is a sad reality that even in times of extreme necessity, caste prejudices dominate social exchanges. In India the caste system is a powerful tool for social segregation and has implications in our everyday life. It weakens the human urge to excel and liberate
Though the Constitution provides certain safeguards against such discrimination but the constitutional remedies are often inaccessible to the lower castes. On June 20th, 2008, another shameful incident by a well know private school in Delhi gave us a reality check of where our humanitarian behavior actually stands. Salwan Public School on Pusa Road, refused to admit seven waste pickers out of fear that they might carry disease.
This is not it, Indians from North Eastern states face high level of discrimination, abuse; be it of a mental or a physical nature, which makes them feel alienated in their own motherland. When a foreign tourist is raped, it takes our judiciary to solve that case in a month, or even weeks, but there are millions of rape cases of Indian women which are still pending. We are not saying don't solve the foreign cases, we are saying that if the foreign cases can be solved so fast, why can't the Indian cases be?
Here a small boy who is HIV positive is treated like an untouchable. I feel irritated to see such incidents. Muslims find it hard to be trusted by others, why? Not only this, the politicians take advantage of this and play their vote bank politics.
When will we realize that we are all the same? We all deserve the same. Please open up your eyes and treat everyone, if not like your brother/sister, at least like a HUMAN BEING. All this won't stop until we take the charge. These incidents will always be made a part of the filthy politics and will be played with. I plead to you genuinely to open up your eyes and feel the brunt that others feel when they are discriminated in their own motherland.

It's Just a Love Song
Picture this: you're on your way home from an incredible night-out with your girlfriends. All night long they have been telling you that you are better off without him, that you deserve so much better, that a woman like you deserves to have all the good things in life served to you in a silver platter. Of course all of the things they said made you feel better and you suddenly find yourself agreeing with them, and from now on you are never going to even think about your ex ever again.
You get into your car, turn the radio on, and of the thousands or millions of songs that the DJ could play, he plays this one. This song that you and your ex loved so much that you sing it together, without caring if you are singing the right notes. You wonder if the universe is trying to send you a message. Suddenly, you find yourself missing him with only one thought in mind: "I want my ex-boyfriend back."
A lot of things, not just love songs, will make you want to get your ex back. There are places that the two of you always used to go to, movies you have seen together, his favorite color, his favorite animal. And the list goes on. There is nothing wrong with wanting to get your ex back. Sure, your friends are right when they say all those positive and ego-boosting things, but in the end it is you and only you who can and will decide which man you want to spend the rest of your life with.
So go on, keep listening to the songs you and your ex like. Keep looking at the pictures of the two of you, think of him as often as you'd like. This way, you could figure out what you really want. Do you really want to get your ex back this instant, or do you want enjoy being single again before you want him back in your life? These can be very helpful questions that can help you figure out how to get your ex back, or how you will get your ex to want you back.
