Cashless Economy or Cashless Digital Economy

If we flip the papers of history books we may find incidents and stories mentioned about Cashless Economy.

A section of a book - "Gonds of the Central Indian Highland" has been highlighted here to show how cashless economy was documented in the history books.

Ahirs in most areas of the Satpura mountains stay together with Gonds, but in seperate villages as long as there are adequate open grazing grounds in the protected forest areas. They do not keep cattle like the rest of the farmers. Large herds of cattle, several thousands in number, stay with the group. They are cowherds and only a few buffaloes are kept by them sometimes. They are unwilling to do any kind of agriculture; and they cannot participate in hunting activities. They assert that they do not eat any kind of meat. They are willing to spend only a few days in a year in thier homes; on the whole, in their well constructed villages. They sleep in the open in the forests in spite of frequent attacks of panthers on their cattle. They are impervious to inclement weather. They have created definite traditions, and they are individualistic, self assertive and yet mild and peaceful. Research workers and social workers associated with this study have spent a long time with them. A nursery school was created for their children; but it had to be closed down because even women and children went away into the forests with their animals for very long periods of time. They were given a Swedish milk seperator by the block development officer; but they were quite happy with the kho or kind of cheese they make, and some clarified butter. Efforts have not been made to provide them with fixed grazing grounds, or educate them in stall-feeding, controlled pasturing, agriculture, and other economic activities to supplement their meagre income.

They were hardly having any cash, or using cash in their economic activities. Till very recently, they did not have adequate interest in the use of money. When visiting their village, I noticed a huge amount of cattle manure near the house of one of the ahirs. Since our farm needed large quantities of manure, I requested them to permit a few truckloads to be taken to a distance of fifteen miles up the "ghat". Ever obliging and helpful, the Ahir readily agreed. Asked to name a fair price, he requested that in return of five truckloads of manure he may be givem one kerosene lantern, an electric torch, and a mattress to sit upon. He refused to accept money in cash.

Three years later, a number of Ahirs have been persuaded to accept Rs.10 per truckload, and to realise the importance and value of money as wells as manure. If they had a motor truck of their own, their manure could get them large amount of money.

UFO And Their Mysteries

Iranian Air Force UFO Intercept - 1976


The 1976 Tehran UFO Incident was a radar and visual sighting of an unidentified flying object (UFO) over Tehran, the capital of Iran, during the early morning hours of 19 September 1976. During the incident, two F-4 Phantom II jet interceptors supposedly lost instrumentation and communications as they approached, only to have them restored upon withdrawal; one of the aircraft also supposedly suffered temporary weapons systems failure, while preparing to open fire.

The incident, recorded in a four-page U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report distributed to at least the White House, Secretary of State, Joint Chiefs of Staff, National Security Agency (NSA) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), remains one of the most well-documented military encounters with anomalous phenomena in history, and various senior Iranian military officers directly involved with the events have gone on public record stating their belief that the object was not of terrestrial origin.

The Incident

At approximately 0030 hours local time (2100Z), 19 September 1976, the Imperial Iranian Air Force command post at Tehran received four reports by telephone, from civilians in the Shemiran city district, of unusual activity in the night sky. The callers reported seeing an object similar to a star, but much brighter.

When the command post found no helicopters airborne to account for the reports, they called General Yousefi, assistant deputy commander of operations. General Yousefi at first said the object was only a star, but after conferring with the control tower at Mehrabad International Airport and then looking for himself to see a very bright object larger than a star, he decided to scramble one F-4 Phantom II jet fighter from Shahrokhi Air Force Base in Hamadan, approximately 175 miles (282 km) west of Tehran (for location see map at right).

At 0130 hours (2200Z), the F-4, piloted by Captain Mohammad Reza Azizkhani was launched and proceeded to a point 40 nautical miles (74 km) north of Tehran. It was noted that the object was of such brilliance that it could be seen from 70 miles (110 km) away. When the aircraft approached to approximately 25 nautical miles (46 km) from the object, the jet lost all instrumentation and communications capabilities, prompting Azizkhani to break off the intended intercept and turn back toward Shahrokhi; upon the evasion, both systems resumed functioning.

At 0140 hours, a second F-4 was scrambled, piloted by Lieutenant Parviz Jafari and Lieutenant Jalal Damirian. Jafari would eventually retire as a general and participate on 12 November 2007, at a National Press Club conference demanding a worldwide investigation into UFO phenomena. Jafari's jet had acquired a radar lock on the object at 27 nautical miles (50 km) range. The radar signature of the UFO resembled that of a Boeing 707 aircraft. Closing on the object at 150 nautical miles (280 km) per hour and at a range of 25 nautical miles (46 km), the object began to move, keeping a steady distance of 25 nautical miles (46 km) from the F-4. The size of the object was difficult to determine due to its intense brilliance. The lights of the object were alternating blue, green, red, and orange, and were arranged in a square pattern. The lights flashed in sequence, but the flashing was so rapid that they all could be seen at once.

While the object and the F-4 continued on a southerly path, a smaller second object detached itself from the first and advanced on the F-4 at high speed. Lieutenant Jafari, thinking he was under attack, tried to launch an AIM-9 sidewinder missile, but he suddenly lost all instrumentation, including weapons control, and all communication. He later stated he attempted to eject, but to no avail, as this system, which is entirely mechanical, also malfunctioned. Jafari then instituted a turn and a negative G dive as evasive action. The object fell in behind him at about 3 to 4 nautical miles (7.4 km) distance for a short time, then turned and rejoined the primary object.

Once again, as soon as the F-4 had turned away, instrumentation and communications were regained. The F-4 crew then saw another brightly lit object detach itself from the other side of the primary object and drop straight down at high speed. The F-4 crew expected it to impact the ground and explode, but it came to rest gently. The F-4 crew then overflew the site at a decreased altitude and marked the position of the light's touchdown. Jafari would later comment that the object was so bright that it lit up the ground and he could see rocks around it. The object had touched down near Rey Oil Refinery on the outskirts of Iran. Then they landed at Mehrabad, noting that each time they passed through a magnetic bearing of 150 degrees from Mehrabad, they experienced interference and communications failure.

A civilian airliner that was approaching Mehrabad also experienced a loss of communications at the same position relative to Mehrabad. As the F-4 was on final approach, they sighted yet another object, cylinder-shaped, with bright, steady lights on each end and a flashing light in the middle. The object overflew the F-4 as they were on approach. Mehrabad tower reported no other aircraft in the area, but tower personnel were able to see the object when given directions by Jafari. Years later, the main controller and an investigating general revealed that the object also overflew the control tower and knocked out all of its electronic equipment as well (see below).

The next day, the F-4 crew flew out in a helicopter to the site where they had seen the smaller object land. In the daylight, it was determined to be a dry lake bed, but no traces could be seen. They then circled the area to the west and picked up a noticeable "beeper" signal. The signal was loudest near a small house, so they landed and questioned the occupants of the house about any unusual events of the previous night. They reported a loud noise and a bright light like lightning.

Further investigation of the landing site, including radiation testing of the area was apparently done, but the results were never made public. Since this event occurred before the fall of the Shah, any records in Tehran may be lost.

Wat Phra Singh - A TEST FOR SEARCH ENGINE - GOOGLE

Wat Phra Singh is a Budhist Temple. A temple guarded by two lions. 

Any one googling may get misleaded by the name. As the search result must show carved stone of lions guarding the temple. But this is not the case.
Phra Singh is an abbreviated form of Phra-Put-Tha-Shi-Hing and does not refer to the word Singh ("lion").
Internet resources suggest the name Lion referes to Bhudha and Bhudhism.

Mum’s warning after terrifying discovery in photo

The little girls were having a great time out in nature.

A VICTORIAN mum got the fright of her life on Wednesday when she was out bushwalking with her young family.

Stacee Chapman and her partner Jake took their 16-month-old twins for a wander in the sunshine at Kings Billabong near Mildura in Victoria.

The Mildura-based makeup artist took a series of photos of her daughters Isla and Ava as they trampled through the bush. Little did she know that one of her happy snaps would make her sick to her stomach.

At one point during the excursion Jake, who Stacee calls the "calm" one, realised the children were in serious danger - he saw a suspected brown snake slithering through their legs as they walked.

Stacee spotted the snake in the bottom left hand corner of the picture. 

He immediate grabbed the girls out of harm's way.

"He was prepared to get bitten for his kids. It happened quite fast, but he scooped up both girls placed them with me and stomped behind the snake and it slid away," Stacee told News agency.

Snake filmed eating pigeon in London street

Dave Fawbert spotted the boa constrictor, thought to be an abandoned pet, on High Road, Leytonstone, on Saturday morning.

The RSPCA has since taken the reptile to a wildlife centre and is appealing for information about how it may have come to be in the street.


Many described the animal as a python, but the RSPCA confirmed it is a boa constrictor.

Mr Fawbert said when he discovered the animal on the pavement between a parked car and a row of shops one passer-by screamed.

But soon a big crowd gathered, he added.


Rachel Garland, 29, from Stratford, who filmed the video, said: "It was really cool, you never see anything like that."

"I wasn't scared because it was moving so slowly and it was completely wrapped up in its pigeon. It was just trying to eat the pigeon, it wasn't taking any notice of all the people."


"This guy then picked it up by its tail as it was wrapped around the pigeon and put it in a cardboard box."

RSPCA inspector Rebecca Bedson, who removed the snake, said she was keen to find out how it came to be in such a dangerous situation+. She added: "Anything might have happened to him, he could have been run over by a car or attacked by another animal."

Hafez - Persian poet who lauded the joys of love and wine.

Khwāja Shams-ud-Dīn Muḥammad Ḥāfeẓ-e Shīrāzī 




Hafez, who was a 14th-century poet in Iran, is best known for his poems that can be described as "antinomian".

Themes of his poems are the beloved, faith, and exposing hypocrisy. In his poems, he deals with love, wine and tavern, all presenting the ecstacy and freedom from restraint, whether in actual worldly release or in the voice of the lover speaking of divine love.

His influence in the lives of Persian speakers can be found in "Hafez readings" (fāl-e hāfez, Persian: فال حافظ‎) and the frequent use of his poems in Persian traditional music, visual art, and Persian calligraphy.
