The improvement in the technology usually provokes a variety of emotions in people from all walks of life. Some view technology as a big scandal that slowly decreases our humanity, while others view it as a way to bring the world closer unitedly and to help and resolve some of the greatest challenges. Regardless of your view, almost everyone has a favorite quote or two about the impact that technology has on our lives. Keeping this in mind few IIT students from various institutions has developed few out of the box innovations. <\/p>

Well, the most obvious reason for corruption to flourish and stay put in Indian society has many factors and the desire to get things done at the very least time and effort. Why wait in a line for hours altogether when an agent will get the same with some bribe? This also brings in a point that people with duty expect more than what they are actually paid for. Is your pay low? Ask for a raise, not a bribe. A kid has an obligatory duty to study and pass because it\u2019s HIS future not his parents; who bribe him with promises of getting that new bicycle if he gets good grades.

It's been two years since the segregation of Telangana from Andhra Pradesh, and from then The Hon\u2019 Chief Minister K Chandra Shekar Rao has been striving for the development of newly born state and is expecting the outcomes within the next 4 years. <\/p>
But now, the CM even wanted the state to hold the record of tallest National Flag of 303 feet, but he had to settle down to the height of 291 feet as guided by Airport Authority of India (AAI).<\/p>
The National flag was hoisted on the occasion of Telangana formation day on June 2nd in Sanjeviah Park which lies on the banks of Hussain Sagar lake.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1465224383071","data":"57558cd7421ad"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1465224396007","data":"

It can be easily understood that to hold up such a heavy flag we need to have a humongous mast (flag pole), which weighs around 40 metric tonnes and as high as 291 feet.

The plot is simple. Bring them down and rise up!<\/p>
A rumor is that there are many secret organizations working endlessly to ignite the fire in people. Zapata took the responsibility of meeting the leaders of those organizations. Some of them are Black shirts, Red-Shirts etc. All these organizations were working relentlessly to curb the capitalism of these tyrants. Zapata and Pryce were an extra added strength to their radical ideas.<\/p>
It was a fine morning. Anxiousness was in the air along with the humidity. The Sun was showing its fiery nature and thereby adding flux to the existing heat. There was no sight of the organizer. Suddenly a voice started narrating a story. Long ago in a forest there lived many hyenas in a group. The main characteristic of these hyenas is to live in a group. However small they might be, but it doesn\u2019t matter . On seeing them in a group ,the king of jungle trembles with fear and goes away leaving its prey. The comparison is simple each of your secret organization is a lost hyena which trembles on seeing the Lion when left alone. You need to unite and form an organization. It should not be a secret one. It should be an open source which means the public should be in a position to know your moves. Remember my friends never think of rejecting my views. Well \u201c A goon can understand the views of the fellow one!\u201d. Zapata was involved in closing those organizations and Pryce was demolishing each and every small firm of Dominic. Clement busy in making a structure for future. A structure which is not vulnerable and impeccable for organizing the rule after those plutocrats.<\/p>
The moves of these three were not at all easy to comprehend and this led to anxiety and turmoil in the minds of the estate supporters. Businesses of the mafia were spiralling down due to the unity among the secret organisations.<\/p>
It was a calm midnight. Elliot Carver was running to save his life. He was running hard. He started climbing stairs. Then followed by another. He was climbing innumerable stairs and fell from there. Alas! it was a nightmare. He dreamt of his downfall which was seeming to happen.<\/p>

Civil Engineering <\/u><\/i><\/b><\/p>
Civil Engineering<\/b> is one of the Oldest disciplines in the Engineering stream which deals with design, planning, Construction and maintenance of the naturally or artificially built environment (Roads, dams, Bridges and Buildings).<\/p>
Civil Engineering <\/b>even has many other sub divisions such as Architectural, Structural, Geotechnical, Transportation and even Environmental Engineering that can be prevailing in either Public sector or Private sector.Civil Engineering as I already told is one of the oldest forms of Engineering; it has a history starting from 4000 BC. <\/p>
For example, Indus Valley Civilization (known for its Urban Planning, Baked Brick houses and Water Supply and drainage systems) Pyramids in Egypt ( Built between 2500-2000BC) prove the fact.<\/p>
Though Civil Engineering being such a wonderful discipline is neglected by most of the Indians,If we consider the youth, they are choosing this stream just as a source to complete Engineering or by parental interest on them but not with passion towards the stream.<\/p>
And the most pathetic thing to be worried about is that, a civil Engineer in India gets fame when his project collapses or fails but not when successfully accomplished.<\/p>
I agree that even ineligible Civil Engineers exist which is another different story.<\/p>
