Guar Gum - India's new gold mine with Oil and Gas Industries

In my casual browsing through the newyork based reuters surprised with the following statement: "But it just so happens that when the hard little bean that a former farmer from Northern India, Rajasthan in Particular, grows is ground up, it becomes an essential ingredient for mining oil and natural gas"



Halfway around the world, earnings are down for an oil services giant, Halliburton, because prices have risen for guar, the bean that the Indian farmers raise.


Halliburton’s loss was, in a rather significant way, Indian Farmer's gain — a rare victory for the littlest of the little guys in global trade. The increase in guar prices is helping to transform this part of the state of Rajasthan in northwestern India."

Wondering the details of the Fracking in US and Indian link, wait till tomorrow for the cover story post!! :)

Ideal option for downloading videos from Youtube..freely

Recently I was looking for an option to download one of my recent favorite video song , "Nenjodu Cherthu" from private album - "Yuuvh". I encountered several products but each one of them were racing enough to mislead me to download their worthless buggy software. Out of it, I found YTD Video downloader to be a good one.

You can download the YTD (You Tube Downloader) from CNET for free. Though it is a two step process but worth having it especially to download an watch most of the videos that are increasing available in youtube. 


On the same topic, today I found that Enolsoft Co., Ltd. today is pleased to update their Free YouTube Downloader HD for Mac software to free download YouTube 1080p HD videos on Mac OS X. This update enables YouTube 1080p HD video streaming offline more smoothly. 

Finally, a word of caution: beware of piracy in videos that you are downloading :)
