I am have seen the damage done within the marathi community. But do not despair, you should see the youth. I have much faith in them when I gauge their enthusiasm during festivals like ganesh chaturti or even shivaji day. Same goes for the other festivals in Mauritius. I think diversity should be enforced and celebrated, your family is the perfect example. :) Yes indeed ReenaDKL.

If that becomes available, we'll see water powered cars! I think the big problem is going to be companies that have invested massively in other technologies that have yet to make a profit on it. On the other hand, if the industry or some strong company decides to mass produce the water catalyst, the world's going to be saved early! Really inspiring.

It would be a pity to promote uniformity. Ganesh chaturti is another example of an important part of our culture. @Ashveer

OUr culture was preserved from annihilation throughout history..Jhassi ki rani, Chatrapati shivaji maharaj have fought to keep it alive. thats something well said. a good example is the the ganesh chaturti festival, whereby the small numbers of marathas striving to keep this momentum from our ancestors alive are finding it dificult as many of them have fallen to the so called “Ned Flanders”.

Heard Sony is even into 3D TV nowadays. Great suggestion, I never thought about setting up the PS3 as a media center. Will give that a shot. I was thinking also about using the TV as a computer monitor since its hung in my room. I was wondering about a Mac mini. Hi Avinash

Sony LCD and PS3 is a great combination indeed. Heard Sony is even into 3D TV nowadays.

Great suggestion, I never thought about setting up the PS3 as a media center. Will give that a shot.

I was thinking also about using the TV as a computer monitor since its hung in my room. I was wondering about a Mac mini.

Interestingly, I use the PS3 as a media center too. It connects to any NAS or computer running a DLNA server (I use Mediatomb on a D-Link DNS-323) and the result is just superb on my gigabit network. Hi Kailash,

I have a PS3 too connected to my Sony Full HD LCD and it is a great combination. Interestingly, I use the PS3 as a media center too. It connects to any NAS or computer running a DLNA server (I use Mediatomb on a D-Link DNS-323) and the result is just superb on my gigabit network.
