Simhachalam is an ancient temple situated near the city of Visakhapatnam, about 11 km from the city, at a height of 244m on Simhagiri Hill. It is one of the most important Vaishnavite shrines in Southern India.
Simha (simham) means "Lion", and Chalam means "hill". Since, the Perumal reside in the hill, this sthalam is called with the name "Simhachalam".

communication tchnology is associating surrealism with realism...and the fact it isnt removes the emotional conflict real communication ensues... my advise is dont read wilkepdia...unless u understand the contxt of vocab..and in brief txt IM LAN MSG TXT MSG EMAIL is all a way of diverting real time communication without havn to worry bout the consequence of action. And although protocol exists to main security...often esp emails and IM are the way to let in unwantd trojans, viruses, cookines etc that can cause the pc corruption, and mis use of data protection have fun x
