Fear Of Police In Kashmir

Fear of police in Kashmir.

By Ghulam Mohyuddin Wani

 The old sick women on the road

   She was some 65-70 years of age.I was on a regular walk cum hair dressing shop today on 16th of April,2010.On my way back ,I as usual stayed back at a plastic sale shop,to choose a few essentials for my grand daughters who have decided to spent some summer months with me.While I was looking for a few items in the shop,I noticed the shopkeeper was busy with two pretty ladies selling his goods.I could not draw his attention and thus started window shoping.In the meantime I saw a car infront of me .

The young messiah as a lady

      A lady between 25-30 with an grey breaded man of modern built aging around 55-60 was bent near the car near a corner and lifting the old lady described.She developed courage to call us and tell us do any onr know her or knw what happened to her. The women has fallen in the dust and lay unconscious .The gril went to her and slowly raised her and helped her to the wall of a shop which was the back door of famous kashmiri leader the Abdul Gani Bhat who was killed by some unknown gun men few years back.In the mean time a few people assembled near the uconscious women.The simple girl helped her and questioned us all assembled near the unconscious women.None replied for few seconds .

FEAR AND DESPAIR SEEN IN MASSES

After a while two nearby shop keepers or their sale man came and old us that the women fell many times near their shops and they helped her to stand up and finally she scumbed and trembled and fell unconscious . They thought perhaps she is dead and left her so that they may not have to bother the questions of the police.I was puzzled to hear it and while the girl was busy to bring her back to consciousness

ESCAPE FROM POLICE

   I asked some to inform police, all saw to me as if I was a soul from other world.Unknown to the conditions of Kashmir and its police.The courageous girl and her companion gave some water to the lady and she started uttering some words .She was still puzzled and murmered some words as if she is hungry for few days and sick.I searched some one and thought to use 100 police number. I phoned from my mobile 9419389066.

PRISE WOTHY POLICE RESPONSE

Within minutes I got a reponse and I asked one tall gentleman to tell them the details of the lady and the place she was.His response was excellent and immediate.This encouraged me to sing a few words of praise for the Kashmi police, it was short lived. Emergency phone 100 Soon the gril there used water to get the women drink it and she started murmuring as if she was recovering .

HUMBLE HELPFUL PUBLIC

Some one rushed to bring her milk and water . and On asking her she gave her address as Batmaloo and looked hungry.She was moved to the better place near by by the Girl and I gave her a few bucks on hearing she had none.The near by shopkeepers were sceptical and feared the police may wisk away her money .I was puzzled to heart it.I waited for some time and on the assurance of the gril and her companion ,I left the place,hoping the police will help the lady to reach her home.

THE DREDENING NOT THRETENING CALL OF POLICE

The dreAding call I had informed the police about the place and told them I am a passer by and am leaving for Friday Prayers.They phoned me again ,got the details of the place from a local shopkeeper. On reaching mosque a regular phone calls haunted me from the phones given below asking the details of the site again and again .I now understood why the people there were reluctant to help police or the people in despair.Till late in the afternoon I could not know whether they have found her.I asked them again ,they were near by searching her in an adjuscent street.

MYSTRY UNKNOWN WHAT HAPPENED TO OLD WOMEN

By then the gril and the women might have left all in despair and I realized the folly of our system.The police phone numbers who asked me reaptedly the address were 9596150715, 9419000722 This is a message to those who have care kashmir international and many Ngo public saving advertises.Cant you publisize your imbulance and numbers so that people could inform you.We may too have supported the so called citizen forum which has not been able to operate their purmbulances till date,but are publicity hungery .They planted trees with out touching the plants and soil.We have to be careful of these wolves in lambs clothing.Police too has to remove the mistrust among people and the young CM AND THE GOVERNOR have to make public services visible.The corruption,crulity and favouritism begins at high place and spreads like a fire.It time to heal the wounds and not to create new.TO BE FOLLOWED

Bimini Tops Should Have An Amazing Warranty

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

There are a lot of different bimini tops out there. Or are there? If you really look you will find a lot of DISTRIBUTORS out there that sell bimini tops made by companies like Carver, Attwood, and Taylor Made. Sure you can find some that manufacture their own but how well do those companies stand behind their work? You can tell the confidence a company has in its products by the warranty it is willing to put on it. Many businesses simply warrant the material. For example Sunbrella has a 10 year warranty against fading and deteriorating. Glen Raven Mills who makes sunbrella warrants the material, not the bimini top manufacturer. But what about the craftsmanship of the bimini top itself? You may find some distributors and manufacturers that will give you a 2-3 year warranty on their craftsmanship. I find this insulting and you should too. Basically they are letting you know that they are not confident in either their ability to sew a quality item or they are not willing to use the correct raw materials to do so.

The main factor that determines cost of a bimini top is the fabric. The fabric manufacturer such as Glen Raven Mills’ Sunbrella already warrants the material. All that is left to a bimini top are zippers, thread, and binding -also called edging. These are very inexpensive items. You shouldn’t have to buy a brand new bimini because your zippers break. You also shouldn’t have to pay a custom canvas shop a lot of money to replace that zipper. You SHOULD be able to send it to the company that manufactured it and have them fix it for you. These items are inexpensive for the manufacturer and these are items that you can’t walk into a big box store to buy. You are at the mercy of the manufacturer or a custom canvas shop to have your bimini top repaired. There is at least one company out there doing what is right- they gurantee their work for the entire time you own their bimini top and frame.

When you are shoping for a new bimini top and frame make sure the company you buy your bimini top from only use marine grade thread that is treated to hold up against UV rays. They should use YKK or Lenzip zippers with metal sliders not plastic sliders. They should use color matched binding and send the entire bimini top through a machine called a surger to make sure the material will not unravel around the edges. The front and rear “pockets” (pieces of material that go around the framework) should be sewn down with three lock stitches instead of just one. This ensures the bimini top won’t seperate when tension is applied to the frame to hold the fabric tight. A zipper is usually utilized in the pocket so it can zip around the framework.

Heavy duty stainless strap hooks and heavyweight webbing straps should also be utilized. All the parts that hold the framework together should be treated to resist UV rays. Their should be a warranty on those parts as well. Should you break a strap or the pieces that hold the frame together, you should be able to have those parts replaced for free. Why? Because they are inexpensive items and your piece of mind that you have a company standing behind you is worth it. You are also more prone to tell your family and friends about a company that will do this for you. It just makes sense for everyone.

It will pay off for you to do your homework on the company you buy your bimini top from. Make sure you ask these questions and demand answers. Make sure you are aware of what kind of service after the sale you will be getting. If the company you want to buy the bimini top from does not offer a warranty for more than a few years put them on the spot and ask why. Demand better. Demand service. Demand quality.

When It's Time For A New Set Of Clubs

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

You’ve been thinking about purchasing a set of clubs for a while and then magically, an offer appears in your email box offering an amazing price for a set of high quality clubs. You’re ready to purchase them based on price alone because it’s a top quality brand name. I recommend you think again.

It’s a common myth that if a club costs more, it will improve your game. But just like having a Porche doesn’t make you a better driver, a better club doesn’t make you a better golfer. Think about it: are drivers really worth $650 to $1100? Are a set of irons worth $1,500 to $3,000? If you ask the manufacturers who spend millions of dollars trying to promote their clubs, they’ll say yes. The fact is that paying higher prices does not lower one’s handicap, but buying a properly chosen club will do that, even if it ends up being a less expensive one.

Once you have achieved a decent level of play (which I understand means different things to differnet golfers), you can then consider purchasing custom clubs with proper fitting. And even then, I recommend you go for value rather than show.

Below are some tips to consider to help choose the best set of clubs for you and your game:

1. The shaft is the axle of the club. The better the shaft, the better the club. The shaft flex has a major effect on the feel of a golf club and a medium effect on distance. If you do not know your speed swing, some local golf shops can measure it for you.

3. Shallow face metalwoods (such as Adams Tight Lies) are some of the bigggest game improvement clubs available. These clubs are easy to hit and extremely accurate due to their low center of gravity. Great for golfers of any level.

4. Beginners and novice players choosing a set make-up should consider eliminating the 2 and 3 irons from their set, replacing those hard to hit irons with a 5,7 or 9 wood, preferably shallow face models. Again, like the tip above illustrates, the shallow face metalwoods are an easy way to demonstrably improve your game.

5. Unless you shope at Big & Tall or Small & Short, all golfers should use standard length clubs. Standard length clubs allow players to hit the ball on center a higher percentage of the time, thus increasing distance and accuracy. In recent years, light weight titanium driver heads and Ultra-light graphite shafts have extended driver playing lengths from a standard 43-431/2″ to 44-46″. This is good news and bad news. The good news is, when you increase length, you increase distance. The longer the club, the more club head speed generated and thus more distance. The bad news though, is that the longer the club the more difficult it is to control, resulting in less accuracy. It is not worth sacrificing accuracy for the minimal amount of distance gained past 44″. Keep driver playing lengths to 44″ or less.

Hopefully these tips will help you to purchase the best golf clubs for your game, your experience and your size. Remember that the price and the clubs don’t make the golfer, but practice does!
