Makar Sankranti     
Makar Sankranti also known as Makara Sankranti marks the transition of the sun into the zodiacal sign of Makara (Capricorn) on its celestial path, which is the first change in the zodiac after the winter solstice and is the first day of the month of Magha. The festival is celebrated in various parts of the Indian subcontinent to observe the day which marks the shift of the sun into ever-lengthening days. The festival is a seasonal observance as well as a religious celebration.
Makara Sankranthi is a solar event making it one of the few Hindu festivals which fall on the same date in local calendars every year: 14 January, with some exceptions when the festival is celebrated on 15 January.
Date and significance
Makar Sankranti is observed at the beginning of the Capricorn period under the sidereal zodiac, either 14 or 15 January, and signifies the arrival of warmer days. The festival is also dedicated to the sun god and marks the six months auspicious period for Hindus known as Uttaarayan. The importance of Uttaarayan is exhibited in the Hindu epic Mahabharata, where Bhishma Pitamah waited for the sun to be in Uttaarayan for him to die willingly.
Makar Sankranti is believed to be a time for peace and prosperity. The day is regarded as important for spiritual practices and accordingly people take a holy dip in rivers, especially Ganga, Yamuna, Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery. The bathing is believed to wash away sins.
In the Northern Hemisphere, winter solstice occurs between 21 and 22 December. Day light begins to increase around this time when the Sun begins its northward journey which marks the six month northward journey of the sun known as (Sanskrit) Uttarayaana.
Makar Sankranti is the first solar festival which takes place after winter solstice which signifies the return of longer days. Therefore, the festival symbolically marks the winter solstice when the sun ends its zodiacal southward journey (Sanskrit: Dakshinayana) at the Tropic of Capricorn, in the Indian month of Pausha and starts moving northward (Uttarayaan) towards the Tropic of Cancer, in the Indian and Nepalese Hindu month of Magha on this day in mid-January.
In Hinduism, Uttarayaana is the six month period which begins from Makar Sankranti.
In India it is known by different regional names.

Tamil Nadu
It is a four-day festival in Tamil Nadu:
    Day 1: Bhogi Pandigai (போகி பண்டிகை)
    Day 2: Thai Pongal (தை பொங்கல்)
    Day 3: Maattu Pongal (மாட்டுப் பொங்கல்)
    Day 4: Kaanum Pongal (காணும் பொங்கல்)
The festival is celebrated four days from the last day of the Tamil month Maargazhi to the third day of the Tamil month Thai.
Bhogi
The first day of festival is Bhogi (போகி). It is celebrated by throwing away and destroying old clothes and materials, by setting them on fire, marking the end of the old and the emergence of the new. In villages there will be a simple ceremony of "Kappu Kattu" (kappu means secure) will be done. The 'neem' leaves are kept along the walls and roof of the houses. This is to eliminate evil forces.
Thai Pongal
The second day of festival is Thai Pongal or simply Pongal. It is the main day of the festival, falling on the first day of the Tamil month Thai which starts with the solar cycle when sun starts moving through the summer solstice. It is celebrated by boiling rice with fresh milk and jaggery in new pots, which are later topped with brown sugar, cashew nuts and raisins early in the morning and allowing it to boil over the vessel. This tradition gives Pongal its name. The moment the rice boils over and bubbles out of the vessel, the tradition is to shout "பொங்கலோ பொங்கல் (Ponggalo Ponggal)!" and blow the sangu (a conch), a custom practised to announce it was going to be a year blessed with good tidings. Then new boiled rice is offered to the Sun god during sunrise, as a prayer which symbolises thanks to the sun for providing prosperity. It is later served to the people in the house for the ceremony. People prepare savouries and sweets such as vadai, murukku, payasam and visit each other and exchange greetings.
Maattu Pongal
The third day of festival is Maattu Pongal (மாட்டுப் பொங்கல்). It is for offering thanks to cattle, as they help farmers in agriculture. On this day the cattle are decorated with paint, flowers and bells. They are allowed to roam free and fed sweet rice and sugar cane. Some people decorate the horns with gold or other metallic covers. In some places, Jallikattu, or taming the wild bull contest, is the main event of this day and this is mostly seen in the villages.
Kaanum Pongal
The fourth day of the festival is Kaanum Pongal (காணும் பொங்கல்: the word kaanum means "to view"). During this day people visit their relatives, friends to enjoy the festive season. It is a day to thank relatives and friends for their support in the harvest. It started as a farmers festival, called as Uzhavar Thirunaal in Tamil. Kolam (கோலம்) decorations are made in front of the house during Thai Pongal festival.
Kerala
Makara Sankranti is celebrated in Kerala at Sabarimala where the Makara Jyothi is visible followed by the Makaravilakku celebrations.

Subject: AIR CAR !!!~ (Mini Cat)
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
                Hmmm Sounds good but do you trust them ??
  
What is this ? 
Will it be the next big thing ?
Tata Motors of India thinks so.
What will the Oil Companies do to stop it
 ?
43F2CEDF-F99F-4A92-BEDC-239CF8C09FD6
                             It is an auto engine that runs on air.

That's right; air not gas or diesel or electric but just the air around us. 

8732D5E3-B51B-44DD-869B-DAA20234B8B7 
Tata Motors of India has scheduled the Air Car to hit Indian streets

A51F06CA-F801-4CA9-8AE4-D36E1FA47FC9

 The Air Car, developed by ex-Formula One engineer Guy N. For Luxembourg-based MDI,
uses compressed air to push its engine's pistons and make the car go. 

The Air Car, called the "Mini CAT" could cost around 365,757 rupees in India or $8,177 US. 

The Mini CAT which is a simple, light urban car, with a tubular chassis,

a body of fiberglass that is glued not welded and powered by compressed air.
A Microprocessor is used to control all electrical functions of the car.
One tiny radio transmitter sends instructions to the lights, turn signals
and every other electrical device on the car.  Which are not many. 

The temperature of the clean air expelled by the exhaust pipe is between

0-15 degrees below zero, which makes it suitable for use by the
internal air conditioning system with no need for gases or loss of power. 

There are no keys, just an access card which can be read by the car from your pocket.
According to the designers, it costs less than 50 rupees per 100 KM,
that's about a tenth the cost of a car running on gas.  It's mileage is about double
that of the most advanced electric car, a factor which makes it a perfect choice
for city motorists.  The car has a top speed of 105 KM per hour or 60 mph and
would have a range of around 300 km or 185 miles between refuels.
Refilling the car will take place at adapted gas stations with special air compressors.
A fill up will only take two to three minutes and costs approximately
100 rupees ($1.78 CAD!) and the car will be ready to go another 300 kilometers. 

This car can also be filled at home with it's on board compressor.

It will take 3-4 hours to refill the tank, but it can be done while you sleep.

Because there is no combustion engine, changing the 1 liter of vegetable oil
is only necessary every 50,000 KM or 30,000 miles. 
Due to its simplicity, there is very little maintenance to be done on this car.

அல்லவைகளை போக்கிடும் போகி பொங்கலே உனக்கு
 
அன்பாய் சொல்லுகின்றோம் போகி பொங்கல் என்று!!
 
ஓயாமல் ஒளி தரும் கதிரவனே உனக்கு
 
ஓலமிட்டு சொல்லுகின்றோம் பொங்கலோ பொங்கல் என்று!
 
உழவனுக்கு உற்ற நண்பனே உனக்கு
 
உள்ளன்போடு சொல்லுகின்றோம் மாட்டுப் பொங்கல் என்று!

பெருமையுடன் சொல்லுகின்றோம் காணும் பொங்கல் என்று!
 
இவை அத்தனையும் தமிழர்களின் பழமை மாறாத
 
பழக்கம் என்று உலகுக்கு பறை சாற்றி
 
பெருமையோடு சத்தமிட்டு சொல்லுகின்றோம்
 
பொங்கலோ பொங்கல் என்று கூச்சலிடுவோம் !
 
பொங்குக பொங்கல்!!
 
 தமிழனின் பொங்கலோ பொங்கல்!!!
