I am sure we will remain one among the millions of F1 enthusiasts at the moment gearing up to watch the F1 GRAND PRIX. We have almost reached the last leg of our wait. Time to swipe some knowledge about the F1 racing..

Well let us flag off our knowledge sharing and start on taking home some good learning on all those flags that are crucial for all those cruising speed over those curvy tracks. These flags are part of the life line of the RACE...Here we go.....

Blue flag
A blue flag warns the driver that he is about to be lapped and to let the faster car overtake him. If a driver passes three blue flags, without complying, then the driver risks being penalised. Blue lights are also displayed at the end of the pit lane, when the pit exit is open and a car on track is approaching
Black flag
A black flag accompanied by a car number, directs a driver to return to his pit and is most often used to signal to the driver that he has been excluded from the race
Black with orange circle flag
This flag accompanied by a car number warns a driver that he has a mechanical problem and must return to his pit
Chequered flag
A chequered flag indicates to the drivers that the race has ended. During practice and qualifying sessions it is waved at the allotted time, during the race it is shown first to the winner and then to every car that crosses the line behind him
Green flag
A green flag gives the all clear. When a driver has passed a danger point on the track and prohibitions imposed by yellow flags have been lifted
Half black, half white flag
This flag, accompanied by a car number, warns of unsportsman-like conduct. It may be followed by a black flag, if the driver does not heed the warning.
Red flag
A red flay indicated that the race has been stopped. In most cases due to an accident or poor track conditions due to weather, especially rain or fog.
White flag
A white flag warns drivers of a slow moving vehicle on the track.
Yellow flag
A yellow flag indicates danger, such as a stranded car or an accident ahead. A single waved yellow

DE LHI Gasping!!

Delhiites have turned   indifferent to the " Toxic Air" that they breath  They have stopped bothering about the "smoke screen " that is keeping away   "Sun light"  from giving them the ray of "HOPE"  to keep their lungs "Sun Shined" . Like "AGE"  for them now  even the  AQI (Air Quality Index) has become a sheer number .They have long since stopped reacting to the AQI  shooting up. They have lost their "JOSH"" to protest for their fundamental right to breath. Delhi is the very seat of the duly elected "POWER".  of  World's largest Democracy  The "custodian" of this Democracy reside here  at   "7 LOK KALYAN"  but remain hardly visible in and around the city This  "custodian"  continues to remain the very "Most"  'Frequent Flier' of our Democracy and  the only  'STAR '  campaigner for the political party that he comes from.    Getting re-elected...

   When you already  know a little about the  book it does create an  interest “Blessed Curse” was just that.  This book is about an  Indian middle class household  that is holding together three generations in generous harmony with all those ifs and buts about the generation gaps  The book undoubtedly is  an inspirational read  especially at a  time when the concept of   “nuclear households", remains a widely spread idea among the Millennials  It recalibrates your mind to question , debate ,accept and  celebrate every generation’s point of view  This book is the story of Jagdamba Prasad & his wife Pushpa Devi living with their son, daughter in law and grandchildren in one of the colonies of East Delhi’. The author in this book takes the reader through good, bad and ugly about each generation. The beauty is, it does not come as a bout of episodes but as “cosy chats” between the members of the family...
