- The first step to beautiful hair is cleanliness. You must wash your hair every alternate day or even daily, if necessary. This will not harm your hair as long as you make sure of the quality of the shampoo. Never compromise on the quality.
- Your shampoo and conditioner should be used separately. Both have entirely different functions and hence must be used separately for adequate results.
- Henna has a very drying effect on your hair. So, avoid using it and instead choose a quality hair dye to colour your hair.
- Always trim your hair at least once in six weeks. This will help you maintain your hairstyle and also keep split ends away.
- Go in for a hair massage with glycerin once a week followed by steaming your head with a wet towel. This will ensure that the glycerin is absorbed down to the roots of the hair and help condition the follicles and the shaft alike.
- Avoid blow dry to style your hair as far as possible. The heat leads to weakening of the hair roots. If your cut requires a blow dry to style, you must first let your hair to be half dry and only then use the dryer to style. This will reduce the duration your hair is exposed to direct heat from the dryer.
- Always change the brand of shampoo and the conditioner you use, every two months. This will help your hair to avoid developing resistance to the products and greatly improve their efficacy on your hair. This also reduces the chances of causing a build up, that is, the deposition of chemicals from your shampoo on your hair shaft, after regular and continuous use of a particular brand of shampoo. As a result, you will find your hair having that much coveted shine and bounce.
- Never brush your hair when it is wet, as this only leads to breakage. Use a wide toothed comb to disentangle your hair after shampoo.
- What is important is not what you put on your hair but what you put into your hair. For this, you need to eat right and be healthy. So, remember, for healthy and shining hair you need a healthy body.

IF MICROSOFT BUILD CARS,
Top Ten ways things would be different if Microsoft built cars
1. A Particular model year of car wouldn't be available until AFTER that year, instead of before.
2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to buy a new car.
3. Occassionally your car would just die for no reason and you'd have to restart it. For some strange reason, you would just accept this.
4. You could only have one person at a time in your car, unless you bought a car '95 or a car NT, but then you would have to buy more seats.
5. You would be constantly pressured to upgrade your car. Wait a second, it's that way NOW!
6. Sun Microsystems would make a car that was solar powered, twice as reliable, 5 times as fast, but only ran on 5% of the roads.
7. The oil, alternator, gas, and engine warning lights would be replaced with a single "General Car Fault" warning light.
8. People would get excited about thew new features in Microsoft cars, forgetting completely that they had been available in other brands for years.
9. We'd all have to switch to Microsoft Gas (tm)
10. Ford, General Motors, and Chrylser would all be complaining because Microsoft was putting radios in all its models.

COMPUTER & EYE
அதிக நேரம் கணிப்பொறிக்கு முன்னால் கண் விழித்திருப்பவர்களை பல விதமான நோய்கள் பிடிக்கின்றன. அதில் முக்கியமான ஒன்று கண் உலர்தல். இமைக்கக் கூடச் செய்யாமல் கணினியே கதியெனக் கிடைக்கும் மக்களை, இந்த நோயை விரும்பி அழைப்பவர்கள் பட்டியலில், சேர்த்துக் கொள்ளலாம்.
கணிப்பொறிக்கு முன்னால் அமர்ந்து நீண்ட நேரம் வேலை செய்பவர்களின் கண்கள் அதிக அழுத்தத்தைச் சந்திக்கின்றன. இத்தகைய சூழலில் வேலை செய்யும் கண்களுக்கு டிரை ஐ சிண்ட்ரோம் எனப்படும் கண் உலர்தல் நோய் விரைவிலேயே வந்து விடுகிறது.
அதன் விளைவுகளாக கண் எரிச்சல், கண் அரிப்பு, வலி போன்ற இணைப்புகள் கூடவே வந்து விடும். என்கின்றனர் மருத்துவர்கள்.
கண்ணில் இருக்கும் ஈரப்பதம் குறைந்து போவது தான் டிரை ஐ சிண்ட்ரோம் அல்லது கண் உலர்தல் நோயின் ஒரு வரி விளக்கம். இது எளிதான நோய் எனக் கருதி விட்டு விட்டால் இரும்பை துரும்பு அரித்து தீர்ப்பது போல இந்த நோய் நிரந்தரமாகவே கண் பார்வையைப் பறித்துக் கொள்ளும் அபாயம் உண்டு.
கண் எரிச்சல், கண் அரிப்பு, கண் வலி, கண் சிவத்தல் போன்ற அறிகுறிகள் இருந்தால் உங்களுக்கு இந்த நோய் இருக்கும் வாய்ப்புகள் இருக்கின்றன என்பதை உணர்ந்து கொள்ளுங்கள். எச்சரிக்கையாய் இருத்தல் பெரும் இன்னலைத் தீர்க்கும்.
பெருநகரங்களில் வாழும் மக்கள் தான் இந்த கண் உலர்தல் நோயினால் அதிகம் பாதிப்படைவதாக மருத்துவர்கள் தெரிவிக்கின்றனர். காரணம் அவர்கள் தான் அடிக்கடி கணினியே கதியெனக் கிடைக்கிறார்கள்.
கணினியில் குளிரூட்டப்பட்ட அறையில் இருக்கும் போது குளிர்க்காற்று படும் இடத்தில் நேரம் இருப்பது கூட கண் உலர்தலுக்குக் காரணமாகி விடுமாம். கண் உலர்தலிலிருந்து தப்பிக்கும் சுலப வழிகள் கண்ணை அடிக்கடி இமைத்துக் கொண்டே இருப்பதும், தொடர்ந்து கணினியைப் பார்க்காமல் இருப்பதும் தான்.
கணினி பயன்படுத்தும் போது அடிக்கடி கண்ணை இமைத்துக் கொண்டே இருப்பது கண்ணின் ஈரப்பதத்தைப் பாதுகாக்கும். குளிர் கண்ணாடிகளை அணிந்து பயணம் செய்வதும் கண்ணைப் பாதுகாக்கும்.

FACTS ABOUT INDIA GATE
India Gate is one of the largest war memorials in India.
The monument was designed by Edwin Lutyens, the chief architect of New Delhi.
The foundation stone of India Gate was laid by the Duke of Connaught, on 10th February 1921.
It took approximately 10 years to complete the construction work on the monument, which came to an end in 1931.
The walls of India Gate have been inscribed with the names of the Indian soldiers who died in World War I and the Afghan Wars.
The monument rises to a height of 42 meters and has many important roads spreading out from it.
India Gate also bears some resemblance to the 'Arc de Triomphe', situated in Paris.
The arch of India Gate houses a shrine, inside which is the ever-burning Amar Jawan Jyoti.
Amar Jawan Jyoti was unveiled on January 26, 1972, by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
The flame of the Jyoti burns day and night, to remind the nation of soldiers who died in the Indo-Pakistan War of December 1971.
The shrine has a black marble cenotaph with a rifle placed on its barrel, crested by a soldier's helmet.
It is customary for the President and the Prime Minister, as well as visiting Guests of State, to pay homage at Amar Jawan Jyoti, on occasions of State ceremonies.
India Gate stands surrounded by lush, green gardens and is flanked by the clean waters of a lake.
The monument is one of the most popular picnic spots in Delhi, as a cool resort in summers and as a boating area in winters.
India Gate serves as the venue of the Republic Day parade, which takes place on 26th January every year.
