OK. You’ve heard that term too many times. But still doesn’t know the meaning quite exact, right?
Now here it is
Xenophobia is an intense and/or irrational dislike and sometimes fear of people from other countries. It comes from the Greek words ξένος (xenos), meaning “foreigner,” “stranger,” and φόβος (phobos), meaning “fear.” The term is typically used to describe a fear or dislike of foreigners or of people significantly different from oneself.

All of us know well about wikipedia. But how many of us actually know its sisters, and its parent?
Wikipedia was developed by Wiki Media Foundation and it has many projects under it other than the very popular wikipedia. Let me list each of them with a small description.
FROM Arvind Khamitkar , I.A.S, Director of Medical & Research Div, Chennai
Dear Friends,
A few weeks ago, in a movie theatre, a person felt something poking from her seat. When she got up to see what it was, she found a Needle sticking out of the seat with a note attached saying
‘You have just been infected by HIV’.
The Disease Control Center (in Paris ) reports many similar events in many other cities recently. All tested needles were HIV Positive. The Center also reports that needles have been found in cash dispensers at public banking machines. We ask everyone to use extreme caution when faced with this kind of situation. All public chairs/seats should be inspected with vigilance and caution before use. A careful visual inspection should be enough. In addition, they ask that each of you pass this message along to all members of your family and your friends of the potential danger.
Recently, one doctor has narrated a somewhat similar instance that happened to one of his patients at the Priya Cinema in Delhi … A young girl, engaged and about to be married in a couple of months, was pricked while the movie was going on. The tag with the needle had the message ‘Welcome to the World of HIV family’.
Though the doctors told her family that it takes about 6 Months before the virus grows strong enough to start Damaging the system and a healthy victim could survive about 5-6 years,the girl died in 4 months, perhaps more because of the ‘Shock thought’. We all have to be careful at public places, rest God help! Just think about saving a life by forwarding this message. Please, take a few seconds of your time to pass along.
With Regards, Arvind Khamitkar, I.A.S, Director of Medical & Research Div, Chennai.
Kindly pass this to every one. Probably your mail can help some save his/her life
