THE OTHER SIDE
A Father was reading a magazine and his little
daughter every now and then distracted him. To
keep her busy, he tore one page on which was
printed the map of the world. He tore it into
pieces and asked her to go to her room and put
them together to make the map again. He was sure
she would take the whole day to get it done. But
the little one came back within minutes with
perfect map. When he asked how she could do it so
quickly, she said, 'Oh Dad, there is a man's face
on the other side of the paper. I made the face
perfect to get the map right."" she ran outside
to play leaving the father surprised.. Moral
There is always the other side to whatever we
experience in this world. This story indirectly
teaches a lesson..whenever we come across a
challenge or a puzzling situation, look at the
other side... You will be surprised to see an
easy way to tackle the problem

CHOKE POINTS

• Choke points are narrow international waterways
  where three characteristics are present.
• The waterway should be narrow and capable of
  being closed off to both commercial and military
  snipping.
• There should be no readily available maritime
  route to utilize in the event of closure.
• Finally, the choke point should be of
  considerable significance to at least several
  States.
• There are seven primary choke points
  which seem to satisfy these criteria. These are
  Gibraltar, Bab el Mandeb, Hormuz, the Danish and
  Turkish Straits, and the Suez and Panama Canals.
  It also identifies eleven secondary choke
  points, where at least one of the required
  characteristics is missing. The eleven include
  Dover, Bering and Magellan Straits, as well as
  Malacca-Singapore and a number of others in the
  Western Pacific.

CHOKE POINTS

• The most important naval choke points were first
  identified by John Arbuthnot Fisher in his
  defense of continued British colonialism
  (important colonies in parentheses)
• Hormuz Strait between Oman and Iran at the
  entrance to the Persian Gulf (UAE)
• Strait of Malacca between Singapore and Indonesia
  
• Bab-el-Mandeb passage from the Arabian Sea to the
  Red Sea (Yemen and Socotra)
• Panama Canal and the Panama Pipeline connecting
  the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans (British
  Honduras)
• Suez Canal and the Sumed Pipeline connecting the
  Red Sea and Mediterranean Sea (Egypt)
• The Turkish Straits/Bosporus linking the Black
  Sea (and oil coming from the Caspian Sea region)
  to the Mediterranean Sea (Cyprus)
• The Strait of Gibraltar (Gibraltar)
• Cape Horn (Falklands)
• The Cape of Good Hope (South Africa)

THE INDIAN OCEAN RIM

A STARTLING DISCLOSURE
Admiral Timothy J Keating of the US military,
Pacific Command (PACOM) has revealed that China
offered to divide the Pacific and Indian Ocean
regions between China and the US after Beijing
launched its own fleet of aircraft carriers. He
added that the incident was disclosed to Indian
Navy chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta during their
meeting on Thursday May 15, 2009. The proposed
deal envisaged that after China has its own
aircraft carriers it remains the only major
naval power currently without such a capability
the Pacific region could be divided into two
areas of responsibility. (The Chinese officer
said) You, the US, take Hawaii East and we,
China, will take Hawai West and the Indian Ocean.
Then you will not need to come to the western
Pacific and the Indian Ocean and we will not need
to go to the Eastern Pacific. If anything happens
there, you can let us know and if something
happens here, we will let you know, Keating
recalled. Source Indian Express Fri May 15 2009

"Whoever controls the Indian Ocean dominates
Asia. This ocean is the key to the seven seas in
the twenty-first century, the destiny of the
world will be decided in these waters."
