Anna Hazare-Fast unto Death-Lokpal Bill

The name Anna Hazare which was least known to many people, but came into limelight after starting a Fast unto Death for proposing "Jan Lokpal Bill".

Jan Lokpal Bill: A law that will establish a Lokpal (ombudsman) that will have the power to deal with corruption in public offices (wikipedia).

Anna Hazare started this movement for passing a stronger anti-corruption Lokpal bill in the Indian Parliament. For this movement many students, teachers, social activists and movie actors are given support to Hazare.

Anna Hazare started his Fast until Death on 5th April 2011 at Jantar Mantar near New Delhi and he stated that "I will fast until Jan Lokpal Bill is passed".

This movement is evolving just like a tsunami which bashed Japan, in the same became more and more significant among Indian Youth through local support and here also social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter which are playing a vital role.

As a Youth, I too support Anna Hazare...

Tips for filling petrol and diesel

As the raise of Petrol and Diesel Rates, here are the small tips which might be helpful:

Only buy or fill up your car or bike during early morning, when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks underground.. The colder the ground, the more dense the fuel. When it gets warmer, petrol expands. So, buying in the afternoon or in the evening, your liter is not exactly a liter . In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature play an important role. 1 degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps .

Another most important tip is to fill up when your tank is HALF FULL. The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank the less is the air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine.

Another reminder, if there is a fuel truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy, DO NOT fill up--most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

DO SHARE THESE TIPS WITH OTHERS - IT IS IMPORTANT FOR AS MANY PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS, ESPECIALLY IN THE WAKE OF RISING PETROL PRICES.
