I guess it means that we are fixing the value of the Planck constant and deriving measure of kilogram from it. Given the measure of second and metre, a kilogram is the mass so that the value of plank constant is observed to be exactly 6.626x10^−34.


Probably by suggesting users who have your number as friends.


A lot of farmland around the capital area has been converted into commercial land for urban construction. The same is true for Bangalore where Residential complexes have replaced the lakes. Four years back having an Air Conditioner at your home in Bangalore was very rare. Since last two years many residents who can afford it have installed AC or are considering getting one.


>>The same is true for Bangalore where Residential complexes have replaced the lakes.

What disappoints me in this regard is people who buy flats in those apartments knowing well that the complex is encroaching a lake(bed), eventually a demolition happens. But really how careless would you have to be, to buy there at the first place.

It is, Even now. In the insides of the city where there are more individual homes than apartments.

But, some times a few flat owners have no other options at all. I hear, the flats along the Electronic city road, receive crazy levels of dust every day. Same with those near Hebbal.

Also even in cases where lakes haven't been approached, due absence of civic planning, they obvious can't pipe sewage into the normal sewage pipes. Given those pipes were built for individual homes, not massive apartment townships. What they do now is send sewage to lakes. Case in point Bellandur lake and Ulsoor lake in Bangalore. By definition these are not lakes, but cesspools.
