CANON OF PERMANENCE

The word 'canon' means a body of principles, rules or standards. And 'Permanence' means intended to last for a long time or forever. Here, canons are useful for designing a scheme of classification. Ranganathan explains the canon of permanence as that the facets used in a classification system should continued to be used as long as there is no change in the purpose of the system.

And the canon states that, "A characteristic used as the basis for the classificatoin of a universe should continue to be unchanged so long as there is no change in the purpose of classification."

Ranganathan also states some examples:

1. Imagine the result of using colour as a charecteristic for classifying chameleons. This suggests that permanence equates not to use the same facets, but to use facets that reflect permanent qualities of the entities in question. A similar example would be to classify the politicians as to their political complexion, which keeps on changinig.

2. In some schemes for classification, periodicals are divided into two classes:
(a) Those published by learned societies, and
(b) Those not published by learned societies.
This has lead to a little difficulty in libraries; that in Classified Catalogue code, periodicals undergo frequent changes in the authority or agency publishing them.

3. The periodical Medical Library, which had been running its course from 1883 without a learned "Godfather" was taken in 1890 as its official organ by the American Electro-therapeutic Association which was just then founded. In 1926, it took as a joint foster father the International Association of Climatologists.

3. The Journal of Indian Botany was launched as a private concern in Madras in September 1919. It was the property of a private individual, Mr TRD Bell, then chief conservator of forests, Bombay. In 1920, the Indian Botanical Society came into existence, and at a meeting held on 3rd Febraury 1922, it decided to takeover the Journal as the property and official organ of that learned body.

4. The dalmatian dog will always be a dalmatian, thus the facet "Breed" represents a permanent charecteristic of dogs, although it could be argued that the types of available types of dog breeds can change. It is perhaps this latter quality that is more important in this canon.

THE END OR THE BEGINNING

There is a saying, "Ending of one thing is the beginning of the other". So, we come to the end of the blogging competition. That doesn't mean end of blogging at all.

Till now, personal diaries were meant to be kept secretly, written in a room where there is noone else, and read by none other than the author himself. But blogs are made just as the opposite of this. The idea of blogging itself is so fantastic that it welcomes anybody's ideas, thoughts, experiences and sharing of information, knowledge and much more things.

I personally enjoyed this competition very very much. I not only got an opportunity to share my ideas but also to know others' views and opinions. I think this is how the world becomes smaller and brings people closer to one another.

I have a great satisfaction of participating in this competition by following each and every rule. I've not missed blogging even a single day. I've a hope of winning a prize also, as I've put in myself into this blogging with great enthusiasm and sincierity. Hari sir, please note this - If you want me to participate in the future competitions with the same spirit, you've to see to that I get a prize. You consider this as a blackmail or whitemail or email !!!
Got scared, sir? I was just kidding. And I just feel that participation and learning is more important than winning a prize.

Anyways, I thank Hari sir for presenting me the BEST FRIEND called BLOG which I can accompany with me always.

And judges, please re-read all my blogs as you may have the chances of missing some. I'm sure U find them all interesting. Am I boasting too much? What to do, campaigning and advertising are very necessary these days.

Friends, continue blogging hereafter. All the best for your exams. (Read my previous blog to get some tips of how to achieve success).
I shall end my today's blog with three quotes:

"Each work has to pass through three stages - Ridicule, Opposition and then Acceptance"------Swami Vivekananda

"Never take a step backward, not even to gain momentum"------Andy Garcia

"Life without criticism is unworthy"-------Socrates

BYE!!!! LOVE U ALL

SUCCESS

Secret of success is constancy of purpose. People who are good at thinking usually achieve more than those who rely on physical strength. Clear thinking is the key to success. Like most worth - while attainments, thinking wisely is not possible without preparation and effort.

GREATEST NEEDS OF SUCCESS

2 Good health
3 Rectifying the greatest mistake of giving up

"STRENGTH IS LIFE, WEAKNESS IS DEATH".
Stand and lie in your own strength;
If there is any sin in the world,
It is the weakness, aviod all weakness for it
is sin, weakness is death. --- Swami Vivekananda

SAYINGS OF KALPANA CHAWLA

Today as u all know, it's "CHILDREN'S DAY". And in our campus, we had a get-together on this occasion. I really felt funny as we are no more children. But of course to be children is the most cherishable thing in life. And who can forget those days when we used to play without being concious of what others think and do whatever we feel like doing. And many more such things. Today, I am quoting some lines of Kalpana Chawla who can be undoubtedly the role model for children.

* "Follow your dreams"
* "Pioneers do not have role models"
* "The quickest way may not necessarily be the best"
* "Enjoying what you are doing now is the most important thing"
* "You must enjoy the journey, because whether or not you go there, you really must have the fun on the way"
* "The astronaut's job requires a technical background and strong desire..... go out in the blue younder"
* "I was overwhelmed most by the sense that it took only 90 min., even thoughts I had known that is overpowering sensation to know how small this place is"
* "In the retina of my eye, the whole earth and the sky would be seen reflected and everybody said; 'Oh! wow!'
* "The path from dreams to reality does exist and you may have the vision to find it, the courage to get onto it and perseverance to follow it"
(This was the last message e-mailed to the students of Punjab engineering college, Chandigarh, from the space shuttle).

AUTOMOBILE LOVE LETTER

Here is the love letter model of 21st century. A boy writes to his girlfriend:

Dearest ----,

You are my TVS Scooty Pep (first love). I always BPL (believe in the best) and u r SANSUI (better than the best). U R my Mc. DOWELL'S (mera no. 1). I believe in FRESHIYA (gorepan se zyaada khoobsurti ka vaada) and u r one of the most beautiful things in the world. Day and night give me a smile of your DOMINO'S PIZZA (delivering a million smiles per day) to me.This is a COLGATE ENERGY GEL (seriously fresh) felling for me. I would like u to be my life partner. You worry about your father who is KAWASAKI BAJAJ CALIBER (the unshakeable) but also think of my father who is CEAT (born tough) whatever said wants to be done.

I am FORD IKON (the josh machine) and the rest of my family is KELVINATOR (the coolest one). If they no we shall elope, marry and PHILIPS (lets make things better). They will feel MIRINDA (zor ka jhatka dheere se lage) and we tell COCA COLA (jo chahe ho jaaye). I catch you later kyunki PEPSI (yeh dil maange more).

LG (Digitally yours),

BROWNY

Friends, my blogging would be incomplete if I wouldn't say about Browny, the fifth member of my family. He is a cute dog of 3 years old. He is fair and lovely too just like me! (Just kidding). He likes chicken and pedigree (a dog food) very much. And I love him the moooost.
He has a friend called Mickey and a girlfriend Moti. Both are our neighbours. Ther's one more bitch, if I call bitch it sounds bad, so I'll call her as a girl doggy named Pinky in our street. She likes Browny very much but I don't know why he is not interested in her!

He's very sharp and sensitive but sleeps most of the time. He's dare enough to bark at the newcomers. But he likes our milkman very much and has a good "adjustment" with him to get a bowl of milk daily. He is so intelligent that he can find out where exactly is the bread kept in our kitchen. His kennel is the Diwan cot of my house ON which he spends most of his time. He feels very jealous when I or my sister pamper my cousins. U know, he tries to make friendship with some monkeys who often visit our street. But somehow they may feel that it's afterall the question of their 'religion', and they don't take any risk.
I like to state a poem on him:

Browny is my dog,
He's a lazy dog,
Joyful life he leads,
For we meet all his needs.

He's not a fool
To go to school,
Fast at his feet,
He's the lion of our street.

When it is dark
He begins to bark.
I think of what he dreams
When tired of barking, he sleeps.

He's all early the next day,
Full of vigour and gay,
Welcoming our visitors,
Jumping at the strangers.

When he is bored,
He walks across the road,
And when he retrieves his mood,
He's back home to enjoy his food.

So, do visit my house all of U to see my Browny, hear his sweet voice and GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO TASTE U!!
BYE:)

PUNCTUATIONS

There was an assignment given by the teacher to the students that they had to punctuate a sentence which was:

Woman without her man cannot live

The boys punctuated it as:

Woman, without her man, cannot live.

And the same sentence was punctuated by girls as:

Woman! Without her, man cannot live.

FORENSIC SCIENCE

Forensic science is the scientific study or investigation of a crime such as murder, by scientifically trained specialists - doctors, dentists, chemists and biologists.

At the scene of the crime: Eqipment such as cameras, lasers and materials forcarts make a record of the position of everything at the scene. Samples of hair, paint glass and other substances are also taken away for analysis. These samples have to be handled carefully. The investigating team wears paper, body unit, overshoes and gloves so that they do not contaminate the samples. They will also wrap and seal the samples in plastic before sending them for analysis.

ANALYSING CLUES:

Fingerprints can reveal the identity of a criminal, if they can be matched to samples kept on a computer network. Analysis of DNA (Genetic code i.e., De-oxyribo Nucleic Acid) from blood and other samples taken from the scene of the crime has been used since 1986. Each person is unique. DNA fingerprint or profile which can be checked against samples taken at the crime scene laboratory analysis of a single of a fleck of paint is enough to identify a car used. In a car, for example, bite marks in food found in the scene car lead to arrest, if they can be matched with dental records.

CAUSES OF DEATH

Suspicious deaths iinvolving accidents, murder or suicide are usually investigated by a coroner cum official who specialises in foensic science). The coroner will order in antopry. The forensic pathologist examines the appearance of the body, and then dissects it looking at each organ in turn. He or she also analyses blood and flesh samples.

EXAMINATION PHOBIA

Today, I suddenly got remembered of my exams. There is just a week left for our internals to be commenced. And I've not yet glanced at the things to be read.
When the matter of exam comes, we are expected to learn a lot. But I think why to learn? See, the more you learn, the more you know. The more you know, the more you forget. The more you forget, the less you know. So, WHY TO LEARN?

When the number of days for the exams decrease, the fear of exam increases like the temperature in the thermometer. I remember of a very nice poem which is:

EXAMINATION

Oh! Examination,
I have done no preparation,
I am terribly afraid of you,
Kindly tell me, "What to do?"

Don't come like a flying wheel,
For it will ruin my zeal

You are early, I'm late,
I am daily losing my weight.

Oh! Go , go away you must
Let me learn the lesson first.

Go, where you like, but leave my room,
Otherwise I shall use my broom

My body has become a skeleton
I don't know the laws of Newton

Oh! Examination
You need a lot of preparation.

I've begun the countdown. It is exactly 9 days to go. And from today itself I should start praying to God to fetch me good marks!. Surely I wont say which God it is as some others may also apply for it.
First thing I should pray for is the will to study!

EARTHQUAKE

Recently, all of us read in the newspapers and watched on T.V.'s the severe earthquake caused in Pakistan and Jammu Kashmir. So, here is a note on earthquake.

An earthquake occurs when the structure of the earth shifts and moves. One of the causes is due to the movement of molten rock down in the earth's crust. The rocks become soft when they are exposed to great heat of the interior earth, and this change makes them move. Because of this movement beneath, we on the surface, feel that the ground is shaking. It is called the earthquake. The volcanic eruptions also cause earthquakes.

The place of the origin of earthquake is called as Epicentre and the point at which an earthquake occurs is called Focus or Hypocentre. The regions which are proned to earthquake are called Seismic belt.

There are two kinds of earthquake volcanic and tectonic. They are measured using the Richter scale devised by C.F. Richter. And there are three types of earthquake Shallow, Intermediate, and Deep.

There are some man made causes for the earthquakes like filling of very large dams, direct injection of fluids into the ground, underground nuclear explosions, etc.

The worst earthquake disaster ever recorded so far is in the shensi, Shansi, and Honan provinces of China on Feb 2nd, 1556 which is estimated to have killed more than 8,30,000 prople.
Mercalli scale is used to access the effects of a quake qt a particular place.

MY TEACHER NAVEEN

When I was in 9th std, we had a new teacher named Naveen Rai. He was actually the X student of our school. He had just completed his B.A. exams and was waiting for the results. During that time he had come to teach us for a few months. And he was handling English.

I'd call him as my most favourite teacher even today. The way he taught lessons was excellent that I still remember them. He was unique in his approach. He used to make each student participate in the class. He had told us to find out 10 new words from the dictionary everyday and we had to write their meanings and use them in our own sentences. Apart from this, if we found any new words in the lessons, he'd not only give their meanings but also many examples of their usage. This'd definitely improve our vocabulary.
And Grammar class, oh! it was superb. In just 2 or 3 months, he had taught us the most important and interesting things in English grammar. If I have a better language and vocabulary today, it's only bcoz of him. All the grammar classes would be so interactive that we'd eagerly wait for those classes. Not only that, he'd tell about his life experiences, moral values in life.
It was he who inculcated in me the passion for learning English. Until then I was not very concious of the words used in writing or even spoken. I had thought grammar is only the parts of speech or the voices but it's beyond that.
He was likely the favourite of all students, but I was one of his favourite students. We were very disappointed when he left our school, for having missed such a wonderful teacher.
Today he is a Ph.D. holder in English and is running his own school.
NAVEEN SIR YOU ARE GREAT !

ONE INTERESTING MOMENT OF MY LIFE

Hai! Friends,
Today after a week we had all the classes and most the students were present. We enjoyed a lot.
Actually, I've got a very badly infected throat. I've been suffering a lot due to this since 2 weeks. It keeps me irritating. I had been to the doctor thrice and he always gives tablets as fat as himself but of no use. I tried many things but I think the "Infection" is in love with me which is why it doesn't want to leave me!. If anybody has any remedy, please send it to me. I'll be very thankful to you.
Today what to talk about? O.K. I'll tell you an unforgettable moment of my life.

It was the very first day I entered the college after getting admitted to 1st P.U. (A.V.K. College, Hassan). It was just two days before we had shifted to Hassan as my papa had got transferred. The place was first of all new, over to that it was almost 25 days late after the commencement of classes. I had no acquaintance there and no idea about the "College life".
When I got into the campus, I first saw the notice board and the time table on it and found that I was already 10 minutes late for the first hour. I didn't have the courage of entering the classroom late. So I wrote down the time table and thought of attending the next class. And my eyes were busy looking at all the new faces that seemed to be old among themselves. That means I didn't find anybody like me a newcomer.
At that moment, a girl approached me asking whether I knew where was room no. 12. I said I didn't and got to know that it was the first day of her coming to the college too. I was really glad. Then we started talking about our schools and other things. It was about a month for I had no contact with any of my highschool friends and I was missing them a lot. I was just like a fish out of it's aquarium. So, I found this girl just like me and I was very happy talking to her. I never came to know how 45 minutes passed. She then asked what was my room no. I said 7, and I just looked around to find the classroom whether it was in the groundfloor as we were in that. It was only for about 3 to 4 seconds, I turned my face off from her and when I saw back, that girl was found to be MISSING. I searched the whole place, but couldn't find her. How can any person go away from a place in just 3 seconds? I was amazed.
At that moment, I felt that God had sent her or had come in disguise to cheer me up and make me happy. It may sound silly but even today when I remember that incident I don't get an answer to where actually did she go or how. It has still remained a MYSTERY.

VIRUS PROTECTION

Hi! Everybody,
I'll tell you about my yesterday's dream. In my dream, I had been to Pakistan with my aunt. And there was a heavy rain causing floods. In that I somehow got parted from my aunt and was alone missing. And we had only one flight coming to India, by which my aunt returned and I missed it. I was crying like anything. And I didn't come back to India at all.
After I woke up, I narrated this to my sister and know what she said, "Perhaps this dream would be true"!!

We use P.C.'s most of the time and often they get attacked by virus. So, I'll give a very useful information about virus attacks.

VIRUS PROTECTION

A virus is a piece of malicious code which attaches itself to other programs, though the term is often used to describe a whole range of invasive software. Other examples include the worm and a Trojan.
The best way to avoid viruses is to watch what you download extremely carefully; if you are not entirely sure that a file is legitimate, then don't download it. Email can prove particularly dangerous if you don't look closely so never, ever open an attachment from a spam email.
The best way to protect yourself from this threat is to have some good anti-virus software. There are a number of options but some of the most popular include the free version of Grisoft's AVG, McAfee, or Panda's shareware download.

PLEASURE OF READING

If one is asked that what exactly is the highest pleasure which a literature man enjoys, one can say without any hesitation that there cannot be anything greater than the pleasure afforded by books. Even since the writing and printing of cohesive thoughts was discovered, books have dominated the human life. The pleasure and happiness which the habit of reading can bring is numerous provided one is sensible about what one reads. Great books bring before us experiences of great intensity and depth, ideas of life at various levels and sensations.

IF

If a leader makes a mistake
It's a new movement

If an engineer makes a mistake
it's a new construction

If a film maker makes a mistake
It's a new trend

If a musician makes a mistake
It's a new tune

If a tailor makes a mistake
It's a new fashion

If an artist makes a mistake
It's a modern art

If a barber makes a mistake
It's a new style

But if a student makes a mistake
It's a catasrophe!!

VIRUS PROTECTION

WHY WORRY

Hello! Friends.
Generally, all of us have one or the worries. But here is a beautiful poem which says:

WHY WORRY

In this world there are only two
things to worry
whether you are well or
whether you are not well
if you are well,
there is nothing to worry, but
if you are not well,
there are two things to worry
whether you will get well or
whether you will not get well
if you get well,
there is nothing to worry, but
if you don't get well
there are two things to worry
whether you will live or
whether you will die
if you live, there is nothing
to worry, but if you die,
there are two things to worry
whether you will go to heaven or
whether you will go to hell.
If you go to heaven there is nothing
to worry, but if you go to hell
you will be shaking your hands
with your old friends
there will be no time to worry
so why worry?.

MY SISTER

Today was a very casual day. I've nothing to say about it.
So, I'll tell you something about my sister. Before that ID MUBARAK all the bloggers.

MY SISTER

I've only one creature in my house born as a daughter to my parents just like me. And that's my sister Nandini (Nandu). She'll kill me if she comes to know that i've described her as a "creature". Anyway, she is doing her II P.U. in S.D.M. College.
She is a very brilliant and a hardworker unlike me. She stands 1st in her class most of the time. She does painting and makes soft toys in her free time. She knows tailoring. And she dances well. She is the favourite daughter of my dad.
But she often fights with me. The most probable reason for our fight is to tie the mosquito net at night. And my mother always supports her. So unfair!
I think she was sweet when we were in school. As she is younger to me, I used to treat her like a baby which she never liked. But still she used to listen to what I said. And now the opposite happens.

Things which she does and I can't:

Read most of the time.
Kick start the vehicle.
Be the pet to my parents always.
Wear spectacles.

Things which I do and she doesn't:

Watch T.V.
Help my mom in her work.
Cooking.
Wasting time.

Actually, I think I love her. No, I really love her and she loves me a lot too. Her aim is to become a doctor. I wish her all the best and my blessings are always with her.

FRIENDSHIP

HI!!!!!!!!

After a series of holidays, today i had been to the university. To my surprise, there was not even a single class. So, it seemed to be one more holiday.
I watched the last 6 overs of cricket match in the afternoon. It was lovely to see India winning a series in home after such a long time. I think the absence of Ganguly or the entry of Chappel as a coach has added luck to our team. And Dhoni!!!!!!. He's just too good to fit in any place like Ajay Jadeja. I think Dhoni is my latest CRUSH!. CONGRATS! to him.

Today, i'll talk about Friendship.

FRIENDSHIP

I think friendship is a precious jewel to be worn, which is full of diamonds i.e., friends, adds beauty to life. Even a single stone absent can make it dull. So, one has to take care of all the diamonds.
One seeks God, another seeks good, another seeks beauty, yet another seeks happiness. But liitle do they realise that they are all after friendship - a word which has a lot of meaning imbibed in it.
Friendship - The word itself conveys it is like a ship which sails smmothly in rhythm with the waves of hardship waxing and waning in the sea of life.
True friendship is one in a million. It has all the sweetness, tender, blessedness,& warmth which is manifested in the greatest of human values. It is like a lamp such that those who come near it cannot help absorbing it's illumination.
"All that is natural is beautiful". Friendship is also a natural phenomenon. In order to maintain it's charm, it needs to be carefully nurtured by mutual respect, understanding, loyalty, thoughtfulness and lots more.
Life gradually ebbs away. But the swwet memories of friendship remains deeply rooted forever. thus it is an unsurpassable, admirable, reliable, pleasureable, relationship.
Somebody has rightly said, "Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver but the other's gold".

IT'S DIWALI

Today is Diwali.Just now i came here to the internet cafe after enjoying myself burning crackers. It was as usual, that we i.e., me, my parents, and my sister had lot of fun today. My mom had prepared some wonderful dishes. Everytime during festivals, i used to try some new recipes. But this time no. I think i've become very lazy.
Well, this diwali was as cheerful as everytime. And i had worn my new saree in gujarati style.

Today, i saw the movie BOYS. Though it's bit old, i hadn't seen it before. And i thoroghly enoyed it. I just love the hero in the film. He's too cute. The songs are good. In that my favourite is "GIRLFRIEND VENU VAADA".

I'll tell you a special recipe for this festive season:

RECIPE FOR A PERFECT LIFE

Take a glass of education
Add sugar merit
Boil it with a pleasant happiness
Mix it with the flavour of success
Add nuts of friendship and
Sprinkle salt of good will
Sieve adversity
Add cream of happiness
Top it with fruits of affection
Bake it in an oven of peace
Keep it in the refrigerator of love
Finally, enjoy the cake of "PERFECT LIFE".

Do try this recipe all of you and you are sure to find the result very tasty.

Actually, if this wouldn't be a competetion, i wouldn't have come outside at all because it's already 9:35 p.m. and many are still burning crackers with lots of sound. I'm really scared of them. But i enjoy blogging very much. It's full of fun and i should thank Harinarayana sir for making us learn to blog.

Here is a joke:

Arun: "Dad, do you think you can write in the dark?"

Dad: "Of course i can son."

Arun: "Then turn off the light please and sign my report card."

Wasn't it good? O.K. i'll end my today's blog with a beautiful thought:

"A HAPPY HEART COMES FIRST, THEN A HAPPY FACE."

I think my papa is waiting outside.

BYE. GOOD NIGHT.

As today is diwali, i'd like to share a few things. It's very common that everyone burns crackers. But it's often forgotten that burning crackers is for fun and happiness rather than creating sound of lots of decibels. I feel that crackers that produce sound have to be banned as they cause a lot of bad effects on our ears and minds. Recently i saw on T.V. the children (of age below 12) working day and night for manufacturing those crackers which not only spoil their healths but also take their childhoods off from them. it's disgusting. And the pet animals which have got a very sensitive ears can't withstand those sounds. I feel that diwali is a festival of lights. So, encourage only those crackers which are full of light and that bring joy to all. Am i not right? And in my home my papa has bought crackers that don't make any sound. And BROWNY (my pet) also enjoys it.

You know, i'm not just blogging this time. It's a competetion in which i'm participating. It's a prriod of 15 days for all of the students in our department post their blogs and whichever two are found interesting to the judges who keep watching our blogs will be awarded. All this has been planned and implemented by one of the most active lecturers, sir Harinarayana. I'm aiming at a prize. So, do view my blogs daily and if you feel good or even bad , send your comments.
