Compulsory Voting

It is surprising to know that Voting is Compulsory in Australia. Also there is a penalty if some one does not vote, with out any proper reasons. Wish it becomes true in India as well. In reality Even if we forget the penalty, with such a huge population it is very difficult to implement compulsory voting. Most of the middle class does not come out for voting. At least hope things change and more and more people come for voting.

Improve your Vocabulary and Donate Free Rice

Got this URL from Govar's blog. Food is the most essential for any living creature. With so many of humans still in poverty and doesn't have food all the days, FreeRice, gives an opportunity to improve our vocabulary and also donate free rice to the UN's food program. Playing (Learning) is very easy, for each of the word, there are four choices given on the screen, click on the answer that best defines the word. For each the correct answer we get, free rice donates 10 grains (yes grains, not grams!!) to UN's food program. It is funded through advertisers, their ads appears at the bottom of the screen, which does not disturb us.

Try it out yourself.
