Mind Ur mIND

The mind is a wonderful thing – there is so much about it which remains a mystery to this day. Science is able to describe strange phenomena, but can not account for their origins. While most of us are familiar with one or two on this list, many others are mostly unknown outside of the psychological realm. This is a list of the strange mental phenomena.


Déjà Vu



Déjà vu is the experience of being certain that you have experienced or seen a new situation previously – you feel as though the event has already happened or is repeating itself. The experience is usually accompanied by a strong sense of familiarity and a sense of eeriness, strangeness, or weirdness. The “previous” experience is usually attributed to a dream, but sometimes there is a firm sense that it has truly occurred in the past.


Déjà Vécu



Déjà vécu (pronounced vay-koo) is what most people are experiencing when they think they are experiencing deja vu. Déjà vu is the sense of having seen something before, whereas déjà vécu is the experience of having seen an event before, but in great detail – such as recognizing smells and sounds. This is also usually accompanied by a very strong feeling of knowing what is going to come next. In my own experience of this, I have not only known what was going to come next, but have been able to tell those around me what is going to come next – and I am right. This is a very eerie and unexplainable sensation.

Déjà Visité



Déjà visité is a less common experience and it involves an uncanny knowledge of a new place. For example, you may know your way around a a new town or a landscape despite having never been there, and knowing that it is impossible for you to have this knowledge. Déjà visité is about spatial and geographical relationships, while déjà vécu is about temporal occurrences. Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote about an experience of this in his book “Our Old Home” in which he visited a ruined castle and had a full knowledge of its layout. He was later able to trace the experience to a poem he had read many years early by Alexander Pope in which the castle was accurately described.

Déjà Senti



Déjà senti is the phenomenon of having “already felt” something. This is exclusively a mental phenomenon and seldom remains in your memory afterwards. In the words of a person having experienced it: “What is occupying the attention is what has occupied it before, and indeed has been familiar, but has been forgotten for a time, and now is recovered with a slight sense of satisfaction as if it had been sought for. The recollection is always started by another person’s voice, or by my own verbalized thought, or by what I am reading and mentally verbalize; and I think that during the abnormal state I generally verbalize some such phrase of simple recognition as ‘Oh yes—I see’, ‘Of course—I remember’, etc., but a minute or two later I can recollect neither the words nor the verbalized thought which gave rise to the recollection. I only find strongly that they resemble what I have felt before under similar abnormal conditions.”

You could think of it as the feeling of having just spoken, but realizing that you, in fact, didn’t utter a word.

Jamais Vu



Jamais vu (never seen) describes a familiar situation which is not recognized. It is often considered to be the opposite of déjà vu and it involves a sense of eeriness. The observer does not recognize the situation despite knowing rationally that they have been there before. It is commonly explained as when a person momentarily doesn’t recognize a person, word, or place that they know. Chris Moulin, of Leeds University, asked 92 volunteers to write out “door” 30 times in 60 seconds. He reported that 68 per cent of his guinea pigs showed symptoms of jamais vu, such as beginning to doubt that “door” was a real word. This has lead him to believe that jamais vu may be a symptom of brain fatigue.

Presque Vu



Presque vu is very similar to the “tip of the tongue” sensation – it is the strong feeling that you are about to experience an epiphany – though the epiphany seldom comes. The term “presque vu” means “almost seen”. The sensation of presque vu can be very disorienting and distracting.

L’esprit de l’Escalier



L’esprit de l’escalier (stairway wit) is the sense of thinking of a clever comeback when it is too late. The phrase can be used to describe a riposte to an insult, or any witty, clever remark that comes to mind too late to be useful—when one is on the “staircase” leaving the scene. The German word treppenwitz is used to express the same idea. The closest phrase in English to describe this situation is “being wise after the event”. The phenomenon is usually accompanied by a feeling of regret at having not thought of the riposte when it was most needed or suitable.

Capgras Delusion



Capgras delusion is the phenomenon in which a person believes that a close friend or family member has been replaced by an identical looking impostor. This could be tied in to the old belief that babies were stolen and replaced by changelings in medieval folklore, as well as the modern idea of aliens taking over the bodies of people on earth to live amongst us for reasons unknown. This delusion is most common in people with schizophrenia but it can occur in other disorders.

Fregoli Delusion



Fregoli delusion is a rare brain phenomenon in which a person holds the belief that different people are, in fact, the same person in a variety of disguises. It is often associated with paranoia and the belief that the person in disguise is trying to persecute them. The condition is named after the Italian actor Leopoldo Fregoli who was renowned for his ability to make quick changes of appearance during his stage act. It was first reported in 1927 in the case study of a 27-year-old woman who believed she was being persecuted by two actors whom she often went to see at the theatre. She believed that these people “pursued her closely, taking the form of people she knows or meets”.

Prosopagnosia



Prosopagnosia is a phenomenon in which a person is unable to recognize faces of people or objects that they should know. People experiencing this disorder are usually able to use their other senses to recognize people – such as a person’s perfume, the shape or style of their hair, the sound of their voice, or even their gait. A classic case of this disorder was presented in the 1998 book (and later Opera by Michael Nyman) called “The man who mistook his wife for a hat”.

Human Errors - Major cause for IAF air crashes

A whopping 45 per cent of IAF air crashes in the last six years have taken place due to human error.

The IAF has informed the Parliamentary Committee on Defence that it had recorded a total of 74 air mishaps between April 2004 and March 2010, of which a high of 42 per cent was due to technical faults in the aircraft and a mere six per cent due to bird-hit.

The figures in percentage would mean the IAF has suffered 33 crashes out of 74 due to human errors, 31 due to technical errors in the aircraft and another 4 due to bird hit. Reasons for the remaining six crashes have not been given to the Committee.

The Committee, in its latest report submitted to Parliament, noted with concern that these mishaps were taking place in the backdrop of the IAF facing a crisis due to shortage of trainer aircraft and obsolescence of simulators for its pilot trainees.

It pointed out with concern that the IAF's Hindustan Piston Trainer-32, a basic trainer aircraft, had remained grounded for over a year now following a mishap early last year and the Kiran Mk-II HJT-16 simulators were in disuse.

The committee, headed by Congress MP Satpal Maharaj, said the Defence Ministry should take all steps to acquire new trainer aircraft and upgrade the simulators "so that adequate training is provided for pilots, which would definitely result in reduction of accidents due to human failure."

The IAF has faced problems with HPT-32's engine and airframe, even as it spared all its Kiran trainers (usually used for secondary flying training) to enable rookie pilots to learn flying skills.

It also had a gap in its training syllabus due to the lack of an Advanced Jet Trainer (AJT) when pilots moved on from Kiran aircraft to MiG-21 supersonic fighter jets.

After a protracted process lasting 20 years, the IAF contracted to buy 66 BAE's Hawk AJTs in 2004 and the first lot were inducted for training pilots in 2008.

He attended boarding schools like Bishop Cotton School in Shimla and others in Nainital. He disliked school, and often ran away. After his schooling, he was determined to continue with his studies in the United States. He scored well in the SAT and chose to skip the school-leaving examinations, which were required for entrance to colleges and universities in India. Subsequently, he gained a place at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, United States. Modi is a vegetarian and a teetotaller.

Modi had claimed the top slot as the highest tax payer in the country for the 2009-2010 fiscal. He paid Rs 8 crore in the first half of the current fiscal.

The 5 cHARGES by BCCI

1 Bidding of Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab
The owners of the two teams and their payment have been of utmost concern that came in after the I-T probe. A hidden name of Suresh Chellaram from Nigeria, mentioned in the document as "co brother-in-law" (sic) of Lalit Modi who controls 25 per cent of Rajasthan Royals' team allegedly fronting for Modi cropped up.

In case of the Punjab team, Akash Arora who owns a call centre in Delhi, Netlink Blue, holds certain part of the team. He is fronting for Modi and probably holds the shares as nominee shareholder in trust for Modi through an entity held in a tax haven.

2 Allegations relating to Broadcasting deals
Nimbus had won television rights for Tests and limited overs cricket and had proposed a league on the lines of IPL in 2006. They had submitted a proposal to BCCI in 2006. In 2007, under threat of Indian Cricket League, BCCI appointed Modi as IPL commissioner and he was able to ensure that "IMG an illiquid company" that had virtually become redundant in Indian and world cricket was given IPL rights without a bidding at 10 per cent of the profits. Modi had done this to make up for his personal issues with them.

3 Bid rigging of two new franchises (Kochi and Pune)
The controversy that led to Modi's ouster was the bid rigging of the two new franchises, especially Kochi. BCCI has asked him to come clean on the bidding pattern and the names of the owners of the team. Also, as to what was the reason for him trying to get the team for Ahmedabad and not Kochi. The whole pattern of bidding has been under question.

4 Internet rights to Netlink Blue
Netlink Blue's owner Akash Arora is a part-owner of Kings XI Punjab. Internet rights of BCCI and IPL were given through a tendering process to Netlink and associated with Live Current based in Canada. Where the tendering process was for five years, rights were given for 10 years and far in excess of the rights actually being tendered. Modi's close links with Netlink are established through a series of e-mails wherein Modi had allegedly given Netlink illegal live feeds of Australia-India series before the BCCI president intervened and stopped this illegal sale of a right.

5 Modi's behavioural pattern
According to a source, his behavior pattern has been the main concern that went against him. He kept the BCCI in the loop about a number of things and also threw attitude, as if he were above the council. BCCI was ignorant about a number of things in relation to IPL, as Modi did not inform them. He has also been threatening the BCCI for the last few days, since the controversy broke out.


Now Lait Modi's LATEST TWEETS AFTER BCCI PRESSED THESE 5 CHARGES

" Had a restful day. Been in the spa all day. Much needed rest.Thank you all for your message of support. It is really appreciated. I am still chairman of IPL. Just suspended. Wait - we have just begun. "

BCCI - for grace sake , Plz be mature and professional and stop behaving like a drama company of queers
stop feeling jealous

Last week, when the 46-year-old creator and Commissioner of the Indian Premier League (IPL) sent out a tweet about a government minister's "role" in procuring a team, he knew fully well that the bright in-your-face circus lights were going to swivel away from the cricketers, the pitch, the cheerleaders, the crowds, the gladiatorial bouts under the floodlights and the after-match parties to a more shadowy zone off the field.

That suits him just fine. Because Modi, described by someone from a cricket franchise as "the black sheep of his family", is perfectly comfortable in the shadows. He's been in and out of them throughout his life.

The mythology swirling around this driven man with a sugar addiction — he takes at least four spoons in his coffee — is rich, almost gobbling up the real Lalit Modi, whose rise, and rise to the power centre of Indian cricket — a giant hall space where money, politics and glamour have all set up their stalls — is by itself a case study of controlled chaos.

His vertiginous climb really started not in the still safari-suited corridors of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) during the Jagmohan Dalmiya years in the 90s, but in the mid-80s, when India was still content to bask in the 1983 Prudential Cup victory afterglow, and Oliver Stone's Michael Douglas-Charlie Sheen-starring Wall Street was the iconic film for young driven men lusting for money and, above all, power.

The 20-year-old Modi was one such driven young man, who, as a student in Duke University in the United States, was also honing his skills working in the American tobacco company Philip Morris in 1985 and cosmetic giant Estée Lauder in 1986.

It was during this time as a Duke University student that Modi was convicted in 1985 for possessing 400 grams of cocaine and charged with assault and kidnapping, for which he was given a suspended two-year prison sentence.

Today, more than 20 years after entering a plea bargain in a North Carolina court, he vehemently denies the charges.

"I've got no idea about these allegations, which have been investigated and nothing was found. Several people, including [industrialist and former BCCI vice-president] Kamal Morarka had raised the issue but in vain."

The Times, London, edition of March 1, 1985, in the newspaper's archives still records an Associated Press news report headlined: 'Drug buyers robbed at gunpoint: Duke students charged in robbery', with the paragraph, "Lalit Kumar Modi of New Delhi, India, a Duke sophomore. He was arrested Tuesday night on charges of conspiracy to traffic cocaine and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill."

It was clearly time for Modi to go back home.

Back from the USA
After a stint as president of the Ghaziabad-based Modi Enterprises-owned International Tobacco Company from 1987 to 1991, he was appointed in 1992 as an executive director of Godfrey Philips India Ltd, India's second-largest cigarette manufacturer. It was during this time that Modi realised that it was in the big, phat world of entertainment where he would shake his moneymaker.

The early 90s and the return to India didn't quite change the "work hard, play hard" high-energy jinks of Modi. The tales of him spending raucous, intoxicated evenings at the Taj Mahal hotel's coffee shop, Machan, and nightclub, Number One, are not yet forgotten by well-heeled Delhiites. As one of them remembers,

"He used to get drunk and pick on foreigners twice his size. Daddy's friends in the hotel industry had a regular job in saving him from being beaten up."

Another story has Modi losing more than a crore rupees on a Diwali gambling night at the then Lalit Suri-owned Inter-Continental Hotel in Delhi.

"He couldn't pay up and the winners refused to let him leave the hotel. Mr Suri had to call up Modi Sr who had to provide the money. Only then could Lalit leave the hotel."

But at the same time, Modi was getting into the relatively untapped field of sports entertainment. He was tasting success.

His Modi Entertainment Network in 1993-94 started distributing the Disney-owned American sports channel ESPN in India. Some credit him with persuading ESPN to start showing cricket matches on the channel. In 1994-95, he also floated what was then considered a strange idea: an Indian Premier League modelled on the English Premier League in football. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) wasn't interested.

"I don't know the reasons and compulsions of the BCCI. But I was determined to achieve this mission," Modi said from Dharamsala on Friday.

"I had even formed an Indian Cricket League but failed to implement my plan to start the IPL."

Any other person, perhaps, would have packed up his power point presentation, settled down in a profitable sports entertainment distribution business and been content with working up the chain in the family business empire. Not Lalit Modi. He was a player, even then.

Realising a dream Modi realised that to get the BCCI to realise his dream of making cricket in India a mega-corporate entity, he would have to enter the BCCI citadel itself. The journey from the boundary to lording over the pitch started in earnest in March 2003 when Modi got himself nominated as the president of the Nagaur District Cricket Association in Rajasthan.

He managed to rope in former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje to oust the Rungta family, which had controlled the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) for 38 years. To facilitate his entry, the Raje government got IAS officer Sanjay Dixit (who is the current RCA general secretary) to come up with the Rajasthan Sports Act.

This single stroke changed the rules of elections, providing a major say to district units during the RCA presidency elections, which until then in Rajasthan and unlike, say in Delhi and Kolkata, did not allow members to elect the state cricket association president.

Modi defeated Kishore Rungta and was RCA president from February 2005 to March 2009 — enough time to hone and perfect the masterplan from within the BCCI citadel.

His unorthodox entry into BCCI earned Modi many enemies. But some of them don't deny the man's sheer drive for success and ability to deliver.

Kishore Rungta, Modi's predecessor as RCA president, is generous about his usurper's talents.

"Modi is one of the top-level managers and the IPL is proof. He fought the election against me but that can't take away the credit of his taking cricket to new heights."

Modi's arch-rival and RCA Secretary Sanjay Dixit, however, is less diplomatic. "He rubs everyone the wrong way and doesn't believe in functioning in a democratic style."

It's this arrogance, devil-may-care haughtiness that Modi has never cared to hide which makes him the larger-than-life, much-larger-than-cricket anti-hero.

"He doesn't sleep for more than two to three hours, and has an incredible amount of energy — energy that can make him suddenly scream at underlings and employees for no real reason and at the same time shower them with gifts from his own pocket," says someone who has seen him from close quarters during the last three years of IPL.

Family man
Hard as it may be to imagine, the IPL man, surrounded by all those swirling tales of sex-drugs-n-rock-n-rolling-in-cash, is also a father and husband. There is Lalit Modi, the family man.

His wife Minal has been ailing from breast cancer for the past 12 years. Older than him, she was Lalit's mother's friend, and he was disowned by his family when they got married.

His 17-year-old son Ruchir studies at the American School in Mumbai and his 16-year-daughter Aliya in a school in Switzerland.

When with them, Modi hardly seems what the British daily, The Independent, described him as: "A man who could divide the Red Sea."

But then, Modi is certainly, at least in his own head, a Moses taking on the Pharoahs of the Indian establishment, whether they be politicians or fellow cricketwallas. He certainly didn't sound perturbed on Friday, the day after the Income Tax Department officials carried out a 'survey' and 'recovered documentation' from Modi's IPL office at the Four Seasons Hotel in Parel.

"It's success that attracts all sorts of criticism. I've got nothing to hide and I'll cooperate with income tax authorities or anyone else. It's only if you're unsuccessful that everyone leaves you alone."

It's that gumption, that chutzpah, that makes Lalit Modi stand out — both as a visionary with a genius to make an Rs 40,000 crore entertainment empire out of a gentleman's game, as well as the bad boy who doesn't care about the rules as long as the game afoot is won.

It's this in-your-face, high-energy contradiction in one guy in Guccis with a perpetual sugar rush that makes Lalit Modi a player.

He's certainly not done playing yet.

10 Things u Dont know abt NOkIA

1. The ringtone "Nokia tune" is actually based on a 19th century guitar work named "Gran Vals" by Spanish musician Francisco Tárrega. The Nokia Tune was originally named "Grande Valse" on Nokia phones but was changed to "Nokia Tune" around 1998 when it became so well known that people referred to it as the "Nokia Tune."

2. The world's first commercial GSM call was made in 1991 in Helsinki over a Nokia-supplied network, by Prime Minister of Finland Harri Holkeri, using a Nokia phone.

3. Nokia is currently the world's largest digital camera manufacturer, as the sales of its camera-equipped mobile phones have exceeded those of any conventional camera manufacturer.

4. The "Special" tone available to users of Nokia phones when receiving SMS (text messages) is actually Morse code for "SMS". Similarly, the "Ascending" SMS tone is Morse code for "Connecting People," Nokia's slogan. The "Standard" SMS tone is Morse code for "M" (Message).

5. The Nokia corporate font (typeface) is the AgfaMonotype Nokia Sans font, originally designed by Eric Spiekermann. Its mobile phone User's Guides Nokia mostly used the Agfa Rotis Sans font.

6. In Asia, the digit 4 never appears in any Nokia handset model number, because 4 is considered unlucky in many parts of Southeast/East Asia.

7. Nokia was listed as the 20th most admirable company worldwide in Fortune's list of 2006 (1st in network communications, 4th non-US company).

8. Unlike other modern day handsets, Nokia phones do not automatically start the call timer when the call is connected, but start it when the call is initiated. (Except for Series 60 based handsets like the Nokia 6600)

9. Nokia is sometimes called aikon (Nokia backwards) by non-Nokia mobile phone users and by mobile software developers, because "aikon" is used in various SDK software packages, including Nokia's own Symbian S60 SDK

10. The name of the town of Nokia originated from the river which flowed through the town. The river itself, Nokianvirta, was named after the old Finnish word originally meaning sable, later pine marten.

CellPhones Vs Toilets
India has 545 million working cell phones thanks to its booming emerging economy, a number expected to reach 1 billion by 2015, the UN University said Wednesday.
That number exceeds the number of people who have access to toilet or sanitation facilities - only about 366 million, or 31 percent of the 1-billion strong population.
India's number of cell phone users soared in just 10 years, from 0.35 per 100 persons in 2000 to 45 per 100 persons this year.
Worldwide, an estimated 1.1 billion people of the world population of 6.7 billion people have no access to toilet facilities. The UN Millennium Development Goals call for access to toilets by all people by 2025,
The UN University, a Canada-based think tank, made a study on cell phone users in developing countries to demonstrate that some countries may lag behind in achieving the goal of providing toilets and sanitation for all the world population by 2025.
'It is a tragic irony to think that in India, a country now wealthy enough that roughly half of the people own phones, half cannot afford the basic necessity and dignity of a toilet,' said Zafar Adeel, a director at the UN University.
UN University said it would cost an estimated 358 billion dollars to build toilets for half the world population between now and 2015. Each toilet costs 300 dollars.
The World Health Organisation and the UN Children's Fund said programmes to provide toilets have fallen behind schedule worldwide and the 2015 goal may not be reached
