IMAGE BEHIND CIGARETTE SMOKERS




Cigarette smoking gives you pleasure? NO, not at all. The idea behind smoking is that, it will relax ourself and keep away from tension. But, it is not the fact, it is only affects the health condition. At the beginning, everyone starts smoking got relaxation and for enjoyment, but as the days proceed all the smokers will become addict to cigarette smoking.

British medical institute conducted an online survey over 10,000 peoples about cigarette smoking. More than 70% people said, " For us only tension gets reduced, but we dont feel any enjoyment" . The other percentage of peoples says, " They cant leave the habit of smoking ". Although the smokers feel of getting rid of tension and feeling happy, this is not true. They are still worsening their health condition and wasting their money for no use.

Only after CANCER came into the picture, all the smokers where afraid of smoking. As per doctors opinion, smoking can be gradually reduced only by self control of the individuals and awareness among the people.

TALLEST SKY WALK IN SIKKAM


Do you have any dreams of walking in between the spreaded clouds? If so,your dream is going to be true. For this you need not go to foreign countries,perhaps its going to be built in the capital of SIKKAM, GANGTOK(INDIA).

The Grand Canyon Skywalk is a tourist attraction along the colorado river on the edge of the Grand Canyon , in America.Its about 4000 feet high above the ground,which was opened on March, 2007.People who are walking in this place,will feel like the clouds touches the face, which will be a different experience.

Now in India, tallest skywalk is going to be built by the Sikkam Government which will override Grand Canyon.From the capital of Sikkam,Gangtok at 56 kms distance, we have a peak mount named Balathunga.In this place only the Skywalk bridge is going to be built.From the deep sea level,at an height of 10,102 feet the skywalk is going to be built.Its covers 40kms distance.The walls and floor are built from glass 10.2 cm (4 inches) thick. The glass on both edges of the floor is tinted and can be used as a "safe zone" by scared visitors.

State Tourist Minister, Ram Bhagadur says,"For building the Skywalk bridge, South African architects have been suggested by the government".

WORLD'S COOLEST PLACE


Antarctica is a special place, no matter how you look at it. It's the highest, driest, coldest, and windiest continent, for starters. One way that it's very special is its position, squatting right
on the south end of the Earth.To begin with, the seventh continent is in the middle of its own lithospheric plate, completely isolated from other continents.

Ever since that time, the ocean has surrounded it on all sides, turning around it in a great westward current. Antarctica has gotten colder and colder, cooling the rest of the planet
along with it. Over the years, it has accumulated a gigantic layer of ice to a height of 3,000 meters. That huge central mound stands up nearly halfway through the atmosphere, so like
a bald-headed man with no hat, it loses heat directly to outer space. The cold air that results flows right off the ice cap by gravity, picking up speed as it goes, until the resulting katabatic winds roar off the continent's edge onto the sea.


Antarctica is not really responsible for the ice ages we've been living through for the past
few million years, though. For that, you might blame Panama, which rose out of the water
about 3 million years ago and cut off the Atlantic from the Pacific Ocean. Now we have a complicated setup, involving Greenland with its ice cap and currents in the north Atlantic
Ocean, that seems to switch back and forth between a cold-climate state and a warmer
state, where we are today.
