The intelligence and dedication of the current ISRO chairman Madhavan Nair made him the President of the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) on 11th October 2009.

The successful Chandrayan-1 launch adds glory to ISRO and G.Madhavan Nair the current Chairman of ISRO.

Kerala Prices
PRICES KERALA
Price is a word that is used mostly by almost everybody daily. It is being used in all the markets, associations, organizations, family and groups and by rich, poor and middle class people. We buy various things either to have comfort, luxury or to make our works easier. So, before buying anything we all think or discuss the price of the objects we are going to purchase or sell. We make a detailed study about the retail price of the object we like to own. The prices may vary from brands. The prices of mobile phones for example will differ from each brand like Nokia, Apple, Sony Erickson, Samsung, LG, Motorola, etc.
Like all I also earn money to have a comfortable life with all the sophistications of the world. Like any body I also enquire the mobile prices, watch prices, laptop prices, TV prices, furniture prices, luxury prices, car prices, fuel prices, tourism prices, film prices, building prices, stationery prices, music prices and all kinds of entertainment prices. My purpose of studying the prices of objects is to adjust the budget that I decide.
The prices of the luxury items differ from country to country and town to town. The prices of electronic items like ipods, laptops, TV, mobile phones, etc. for instance differ from each brand. We also find that the prices of automobiles differ from each company and city. If the Acer Aspire One D250 laptop price is Rs. 27,500 in Kerala, the same Acer laptop price may be more than this in Bangalore or Delhi. The price of laptop having similar configuration of ASUS EEE PC 1008HA Seashell is Rs. 29,000. The difference between the Asus laptop price and Acer laptop price makes it clear.
For instance let us see an automobile price between two automotive brands. We know that Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo and Hyundai Santro Xing are the two hatchback cars of India having similar facilities and luxury. But the prices of the cars differ very much. The Maruti Suzuki Estilo price starts at Rs. 3.17 lakhs and the Hyundai Santro Xing price starts at Rs. 2.64 lakhs. Same is the case with all the automotive prices depending on the brand and location. The location prices of automobile and the each location price of electronics and all the sold items differ from locality. The prices of luxurious items differ from location to location.
I was surprised to see the price difference of laptops in each state when I was buying one last week. Even the travel prices differ in each place. The prices differ in each state or country depending on the tax paid in states. So we must be careful about the prices of anything we buy. We must find out the price differences in each place before buying an item. The search for prices will save us a good amount. And that saved money will help us to buy some other object we intend to buy.
