Get free Wi-Fi at 144 KSRTC bus stations




http://www.deccanherald.com/page_images/thumb/2016/02/11/528198_thump.gifThe Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) will launch Wi-Fi facility in 144 major bus stations.

Some of the cities where the facility will be launched are Bengaluru, Hassan, Mandya, Mysuru, Madikeri, Dharmasthala, Mangaluru, Kundapur, Shivamogga, Harihar, Davangere, Tumakuru, Kolar and Chitradurga.

Right now, four bus stations in Bengaluru are undergoing the pilot survey — Kempegowda (Majestic), Shanthinagar, Peenya and Mysuru Road.  Once the study is complete and all errors are ironed out, the corporation will roll out the facility in its 14 divisions.

“The KSRTC is the first public transport operator in India to provide free Wi-Fi in tier-1, 2 and 3 cities. Thousands of  passengers will benefit from this daily. They can connect with their family or surf the Internet,” said Rajender Kumar Kataria, Managing Director, KSRTC. “We provide access to our bus stations, while a private company is setting up the facility. We don’t pay anything as the company gets access to all areas of the bus station. It can earn revenue through advertisement and make up for the cost of establishment.”

A computer savvy passenger, Rajesh Kumar said the facility would be useful. “If we can’t connect to the Internet in the bus, we can at least do so at a bus stand. There may be a limited time within which the facility can be accessed. We can send and receive e-mails and communicate on important matters within one hour, the time given for access. It’s good to know that railway stations and bus stations are going net-friendly.”

How to access Wi-Fi

After Krishna, who are the top 10 most intelligent characters in the Mahabharata?

There is a very thin line of difference between intelligence and idiocy Intelligence as a filter or parameter is very subjective and leaves a lot of scope for challenges and opinion. I have rated the following people based on knowledge and capacity to create an impact by their knowledge 1 - Shakuni The only mastermind, the grand master on the kurava side who was capable of strategising and drawing parallel plans to nullify the pandava moves and negate  enemies 2 - Draupadi This unforgettable heroine is way smarter than any of her husbands or others in the court of yudistra, SHe possessed great intelligence and was the force and ghostwriter behind all of his decissions, a lady with great spirit, valour and virtue. Her story is a saga of suffering and disgrace but she took everything in her stride and vanquished each one of the perpetrators of her humiliation and agony 3 - Sahadeva  Sahadeva is intelligent but not cunning, he also is said to have a gift of prediction and fore...

The mystery of floating stones

It is mentioned in the epic Ramayana that Ram Setu was built by the son of Lord Vishwakarma when Lord Rama needed to cross the sea to reach Lanka. The bridge known as Adam's Bridge is said to be built of floating stones. The epic mentions that whenever the name of Lord Rama was written over any stone, it started to float in the sea water. Some such stones are said to be scattered at Rameswaram during the Tsunami and one of them was brought to Patna to prove the evidence of Rama and the bridge. The proof was given in the form of this video : http://videos.oneindia.in/watch/1897/floating-stone.html Even after watching this video many people won't believe it. And I can understand it. It defies logic and reason. But is it actually so? How can this mystery be explained? About 4 years back, I was in Rameswaram and in one of the several hundreds of temples, I saw not one, but 12 such stones! They were of various shapes and sizes. Here is a possible explanation : Before I st...
