some websites for general reading

I often find TED [http://www.ted.com/]as a very important website for everyone. not only because it provides world class lectures in a showcasing manner but also for its priorities. The video updates often make the visitors pause and ponder over issues from far and wide disciplines. the charismatic effect that they have is to be personally experienced. I'm a stanch  follower of these videos for a long time for various reasons. hope you too had similar experiences. I herewith want to forward you a simplest example with the following link.

Similarly, I found the following sites interesting too.
