Japan summer heat wave blamed for 66 deaths,wonder how many will die if Japanese were in India

During Summers in India the mercury regularly shoots past 44 degrees Celsius and remains in forties for nearly 2 to 3 months.I was browsing through article in yahoo which was referring to deaths in Japan due to supposedly extreme heat of of 35 degrees Celsius

A blistering summer heat wave in Japan has sent 15,000 people to hospital with heat stroke and caused at least 66 deaths in the past two months, the government said Tuesday.

Japan has baked since the rainy season ended in early July, with the mercury hitting 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) or higher at more than 90 percent of nationwide observation points Sunday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.

In the week to Sunday alone, 9,436 people across the island-nation were taken to hospitals and 57 of them were confirmed killed by heat stroke, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency said.

The previous most deadly known heatwave came in 2008, the first year data was kept, when 47 people were killed in July and August, said the agency. Last year, 16 people were killed by heat in those two months.

I am wondering as to how many Japanese will die if they were in INDIA.

Frog Jesus

Today i saw Two interesting but completely unrelated things ,but had a common theme?
You ask what is it?
How apt is Frog+Jesus
While i was looking at these articles and video my brother commented as to how Jesus and frogs are related(Genuine Question).Well let us check it out

First Web-article:-

URL:-Frog Jesus

"He thought he could make a frog jesus... A nostalgic voyage takes a darker turn, exploring the naiveté of mankind through the eyes of a young boy. "

Second Web-article:- URL:-Crucified frog art returned to owner after Pope outcry "A modern art installation showing a crucified frog is to be taken down and returned to its Austrian owner after protests from the Pope. The work - by the German artist Martin Kippenberger, who died in 1997 - depicts a frog nailed to a cross with a mug of beer in one hand and an egg in the other. Curators of the "Museion" museum in Bolzano, Italy, are removing the work after Pope Benedict XVI condemned it as blasphemous. The sculpture will be returned to its owner, a Tyrol-based art lover In a letter written last month, Pope Benedict said that the sculpture "injured the religious feelings of many people who see in the Cross the symbol of the love of God and of our salvation, which deserves recognition and religious devotion." The museum, however, insists that the work is a self-portrait of the artist "in a state of profound crisis" and is not an attack on religion."

Now the answer,frog's look very similar to jesus when crucified.Well this is a very personal opinion.
Note:-No Frogs were harmed while writing this article :-)

Wind In The Hair ?? More Like Soil In The Hair

It is probably the first time in 3 months that i drove my two wheeler home from office without a helmet.It felt good like that for some time.But as i increased the speed the wind started blowing into the ears and the buzzing sound began to bug me.Also when i reached home i felt that my hair had collected lot more dirt than usual.Also it began to itch.My eyes were also dry and and corners of the eyes have collected a lot of dirt.Then i realised that wearing helmet and goggles are useful to us in more ways than one while driving apart from protecting us from fatal accidents.Helmets and goggles protect us from dirt,sound on the roads,also cold winds blowing at nights.So i recommend all to wear them while driving two wheelers.

Software Programmer Or Paper Work Programmer

I guess I wrote more documentation in these 2 years as a java programmer than writing java code.First we write code comments(class comments,comments on public variables,method comments,loop comments phew tiring isn't it),then comes the time sheet stuff,then the SDLC(Software Development Lifecycle) documents like use case documents,activity documents etc:,then the "Minutes of meetings" and "weekly status reports", and the list continues ,by the end of the day you become a moron doing more paper work than concentrating on the code.
