Barbie Doll - A True Friend

Guys wanted their first love look like her,Gals always wanted to be like her, and still...she is the preffered one, She is none other than Babie Doll ;-)
Every girl child true friend is Barbie. No girls childhood will be complete without having her own Barbie. Barbie stand for beauty and elegant.

Yestersay was Barbie 50 b'th day...She may have turned 50,but will look like the sweet little girl for ages to come till we grow old. She will remain the never ageing sweet little. I thought why not continue the celebration today too. So here is a small history how Barbie came into being...

History of Barbie
*************
The Barbie doll was created by Ruth Handler for the Mattel company in 1959. Handler and her husband, Elliot, founded the company with partner Harold "Matt" Matson in 1942. Ruth, inspired by dolls she'd seen on a trip to Europe, and from watching her own daughter, Barbara, created an adult doll for children. Twelve inches high and plastic, "Barbie" and her fashionable and separately-sold clothing were such a hit that Mattel became a publicly owned company in 1960. Over the years new versions of the toy mirrored fashion trends, and Barbie was the center of a universe that included a benign boyfriend (Ken), occasional siblings (Skipper, Todd, Stacie, et al), pets (too many to name, including dogs, horses, cats and a parrot), cars, boats, planes and houses. Barbie versions included scientists, disco dancers, fashion models, astronauts, rock stars and lifeguards. By the 1980s the doll's force as a collectible was such that Mattel began making versions of Barbie specifically for the collectors' market. Critics of the doll say it presents an unrealistic body image for girls. Fans say Barbie encourages young girls -- and boys -- by giving them aspirations to be scientists, disco dancers, fashion models, astronauts, rock stars or lifeguards. Despite the ongoing debate over Barbie's impact on American culture, the doll remains one of the best-selling and best-known dolls on the market.The Ken doll is named after Ruth and Elliot Handlers other child, their son. Ken.

Coffee Anyone ???

How do you take yours? The coffee percolator was patented on this date in 1865. The documented history of coffee begins circa 1000 in Arabia, where roasted beans were first brewed. In 1615, a Venetian merchant brought coffee beans to Europe and a year later a Dutch trader brought a coffee plant. In 1696, the Dutch founded the first European-owned coffee estate, on colonial Java. About 30 years later, Brazilian Lt. Col. Francisco de Melo Palheta spirited some seedlings away from French Guiana and within several decades, Brazil was one of the world's greatest coffee empires.

A Coffee Maker circa 1850 is displayed at the British Library on August 14, 2008 in London, England. Over 50ingenious inventions and gadgets have gone on display at the British Library

Quote: "The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce." — Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Falling in a deaf ear

Yesterday i went to see a very beautiful film called High School Musical 3: Senior Year...The story was about a boy named Troy who want to pursue his career on Basket ball and Drama...

The film teaches you to follow your heart to achieve your goal...This movie is the last of it's trilogy...The movie is musical and had great song and dance sequence. I have no idea, from where a huge groups came from, they had no idea what is a Musical is, whenever a song starts they used to shout Booo in the theater. This made me angry and really repented of seeing this movie in the theater....They really destroyed my movie watching experience.

Now i understand why there is no Musical movies in Indian films. Cos people are soo deaf to enjoy it.. It is like those lyrics are falling in a deaf ear..

History of Computer

Altair 8800

The computer age reached a milestone when the Altair 8800 — a precursor to the PC — became available on this date in 1974, allowing anyone to build a computer at home. The microcomputer kit was originally intended to be sold to hobbyists, but it was an instant hit, and in 1990 the computer went on display at the Smithsonian Institution's Museum of History and Technology in Washington, DC. The microcomputer was designed by Ed Roberts, who had been producing calculator kits for hobbyists. Altair BASIC, the interpreter for the programming language that ran the 8800 was the brainchild and first product of Bill Gates' and Paul Allen's new company, Micro-Soft.

Quote: "Buying the right computer and getting it to work properly is no more complicated than building a nuclear reactor from wristwatch parts in a darkened room using only your teeth." — Dave Barry

A lady named Rose

A wonderful motivational story for any age…..

The first day of school our professor introduced himself an d challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.

I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that that lit up her entire being.

She said, "Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze.

"Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked.

She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel."

"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.

After class we walked to the student union building and share a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.

Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, "I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know."

As we laughed she cleared her throat and began: "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. "You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!"

"There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change."

"Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."

She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the years end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.

One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.

Lessons: You are never too old to learn.

Laugh and find humor everyday .

Don't let change overwhelm you, let change help you find opportunities you may have never seen!

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams

What will happend when....

What happen when there is no kids in a kid program? The govt have targeted the most famous program which has Kids as center character. Can you imagine without Anandhi in Balika Vadhu or without lill cute baby Krishna in Jai Shree Krishna.

Now the Indian govt is going to pull all the show like Balika, Booggi woghi and rest of the programs. It is good that govt is taking a step in Child labor. But i feel they should also concentrate in the kids who work as servants or in some factory. It seems Govt says that some channel are not following the rules that a kid can only work for 4 hrs and some channel makes them to work more than 10 hrs.

Will the channel change their kid star's working time? I feel that these program should have a limited time like they have in the West. One program have only 10 to 20 episode and then let the next season starts. So the kids can act in their holidays and they won't have to miss their studies...There is one problem when a kids are star, they tend to loose their innocence....I guess the channel should make it a point that their innocence are preserved...

What say....Have any answers? Reply is must!

We Salute You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The cop who knew no fear

Thanks to Asi Tukaram Omble, at least one terrorist was captured alive

The two terrorists were armed with kalashnikov assault rifles and hand grenades; he carried just a walkie-talkie. there was no way assistant sub-inspector (asi) tukaram omble, 48, could have survived the encounter. But before dying, he ensured that at least one of the 26/11 a terrorist was caught alive.
Omble was asked by his senior to take up position on marine drive on Wednesday night, after the news of firings at Leopold café, oberoi and taj hotels came in. around 12.45 am, he got an alert on his walkie-talkie that two terrorists had hijacked a skoda car and were heading for girgaum chowpatty. Just minutes later, the skoda whizzed past him.
Omble jumped on to his two-wheeler and chased the car. A team from db marg police station was setting up a naka bandi at the chowpatty signal. As the car approached the signal, the terrorists opened fire on the cops, but were forced to reduce speed because of the barricades.
Omble overtook the skoda and stopped in front of it, forcing the driver of the car to swerve right and hit the divider. With the terrorists momentarily distracted, omble sprang toward one of them, amir kasab, and gripped the barrel of the ak47 rifle with both hands. With the barrel pointing towards omble, amir pulled the trigger. A spray of bullets entered his stomach and intestine. Omble collapsed, but held on to the gun till he breathed his last, stopping amir from shooting anyone else.
The other cops, who by that time had killed the other terrorist, ismail, pounced on amir and captured him. The investigation agencies were reported to have gathered a lot of information from the sole terrorist captured.
Omble is survived by his wife and four daughters. He is a real hero. Let's salute him.

We Salute

By laughing at me - Sad Clown

Clowns have been around since the earliest civilizations. Their forerunners, court jesters, were documented to have entertained the courts in ancient Egypt, and were especially popular in the Middle Ages. Circus clowns came into being in the early 1800s, with Joseph Grimaldi the most famous of the early clowns. During the Great Depression the hobo clown became popular. Emmett Kelly, born on this date in 1898, was renowned for his sad clown persona, “Weary Willie.”

Quote: “By laughing at me, the audience really laughs at themselves, and realizing they have done this gives them sort of a spiritual second wind for going back into the battles of life.” Emmett Kelly

Ask them to Shut Up

Media is always powerful, they can break you or make you. But now days the media is trying to poke it's nose in everything. They are trying to interfere in Politics. Each day the Headlines channel people make a call to Pak politicians and ask them for proof, we all know how they are. They never accepted then, they are not goin start now. But if these Media chases them and it will only make it more worse.

The media should allow the countries to talk to each other. The media's duty to show the proof not interrogate Pak as some kind of criminals and they should start concentrating in their work alone and leave the rest for our Indian politician....

What say...Comment away.....

Friend Or Foe

Friend or Foe that is the question in every mind when it comes to our Neighboring country Pakistan...

The bridge between us was becoming thin when thier celebrity were coming here and ours entertaining them. But this all has changed post the blast. Now the bridge is broken. Now there will be only separation and hatred among us. Who is responsible ?
The people of Pak or the politician behind it.

I feel we are all same but the venom which is been inserted by Pak politician is not. I saw one contestant from Pak in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in Zee Tv asked the judge not to have elimination. He did not know that he won't be able to perform after the blast.

Even there was a blast in blast in Peshawar yesterday....Who is responsible for the blast? Will Pak govt answer it. May be we have the same enemy, it is right time for all the country to become One then only we will be able to fight the Terrorism once for the last...

I Vote Nobody

I just got this fwd email from my friend, wanted to share....

Section 49-O of the Constitution -

Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone!

Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O".

Why should you go and say "I VOTE NOBODY"... because, in a ward, if a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received "49-O" votes more than 123, then that · polling will be cancelled and
· Will have to be re-polled.
· Not only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on them.

This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way, of our whole political system... it is seemingly surprising why the election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public....

Please spread this news to as many as you know...

Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India ...

show your power, expressing your desire not to vote for anybody,

is even more powerful than voting... so don't miss your chance.

So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info on...

"Please forward this mail to as many as possible, so that we, the people of India , can really use this power to save our nation".

Use your vote right for a better INDIA .

Advance Happy Independence Day

Just a thought, when i saw our self pledging against terrorism and signing the petition to Prime Minister. Seeing whole Mumbai with candles and their silent protest, reminded me about our the war for Independence.

In those days people use to go from one door to another to ask people to join their protest in order to make the British leave our country. Even some people staged a street drama to awake spirit in people. I see the same thing happening here as we are fighting with our own politician and also terrorist who came and fired everywhere like they are trying to take over our country like the British....

Just imagine if Bhagat Singh and Mahatma Gandhiji was in Net age like us, they will also be emailing people like we are doin. May be the people in that time would have signed the Petition like us to Jawaharlal Nehru. Or even go for silent protest caring a candle.

Friends, Fighting terrorism is no less than fighting for Independence. Again we are trying to make the Evil leave our country...May be the people like us will be expressing their anger through their blogs/post. I hope we will find more Bhagat Singh and Mahatma Gandhiji, who will succeed in driving the Terrorist from our country soon. Hope we will get freedom from Terror. So, i wish everyone a Happy Independence in Advance....

I hope here onwards everyone will think like an Indian, forget caste and community or state. We are One. Then only we can fight this Terror....

Never Forget Nor Forgive !!!
Inqulab Zindabad, Vande Matharam, Jai Hind....

Comon, Dance with Me

Now, High School Musical is rocking, it is young and have a great song and dance sequence.You have to see them dance.

Whenever i see them dance, I also feel dancing with them...

I wish we also have something like them, can you think of one movie which comes closer to Mullan Rouge, Chicago or even Sound of Music....

Put up your dancing shoes and Comon, Dance with Me ;-)

Reel saved the Real

Have you ever heard of Reel movie saving a real person, it really happened to Hollywood actor David Rudder....Read his experiance with Death !

David Rudder said his experience in movies helped him survive the terrorist attack in Mumbai.

In a TV interview Sunday from a Mumbai hospital, the actor recalled how his reel-life experience helped him survive the real-life drama.

``My arm ... just exploded into red. It was like a scarecrow arm inside of a second... While I was taking that in, I got a bullet in my leg,'' he said.

The actor said he dove to the floor of the Oberoi hotel restaurant as a third bullet hit him in the lower back and a fourth one grazed his head.

``I just laid there in utter shock for quite a long time,'' he said.

``My intention, once the bullets started flying, was to pretend - as I've learned in so many Second World War movies - that I was dead and just to stay as still as could,'' he said.

When the gunman left the area, he said, he crawled out of the kitchen and fled the building to be taken to hospital in a taxi. The actor, who is from Montreal, said he will undergo surgery Tuesday to remove a bullet in his stomach.

Rudder said his two friends who were dining with him were killed in the attacks.

Recalling how it all began, Rudder said when he and his friends first heard gunfire, he got up to see what was going on. But he was told by the staff that it could be some small gang warfare and he should go back to his table.

``That was my fatal error. I did go back to my table and I said: 'Apparently, it's some kind of gangster activity and it's no big deal', '' he said.

``Five minutes later we were ... just ripped to shreds by bullets,'' the actor recalled.

He said he never saw his attackers.

The actor said he was in India on a spiritual pilgrimage with a Virginia-based meditation group called Synchronicity Foundation which lost a member and his daughter.

3 Cheers for the Brave Warriors

I am very Happy that the War ended, it was tough time for our brave soldiers who fought without food and water for more than 50 hrs and succeeded slaying the Monsters who were terrorizing our country.

But do u you know the poor fate of our NSG warrior, when they came they were put into a local bus and were retained there for 4 hours without the Mumbai map....I have no idea for what these politician waiting ? Guess they were waiting to the election day so that they can say that they were ppl who stopped this War. Like Mr. said that "We need to make certain changes in our central administration- No politicians allowed to interfere in defense /police" I also feel the same when someone is trying to lend a helping hand, we should welcome them than making them wait for their orders to come.

Anyways, at the end NSG proved who is the leader? Though they came late but slayed the Monster fast like a bullet. 3 cheers to the NSG, Navy, Marine and other soldier who tried their level best. I should not forget to cheer them too....

We should not the forget to thank the warrior who fought behind the scene, like the Fire fighters who had courage to go near and tried to clear the fire by risking their life and Journalist who tried to give us the news without caring for their life.

I guess India should learn from it's mistake and always update and equip itself with the latest weapons, armory. The politician should never interfere in Army/Police method and give them full freedom to their work. The Army, Police, NSG and others should always were bulletproof when goin for mission and hope we will never loose anymore brave soldier. Your effort won't go waste....

I conclude my post that we really need desperately need young, dynamic, honest, intelligent and upright leaders, who actually care for the country.

With Anger and Tears.
Sighing Off
Jai Hind

Tears of Mother India

She sees Storm is destroying in one place and another place is filled with Terrorist act. She wants to see her children to find some peace and harmony. She pleads everyone to stop this cruel and gruesome act...Then only her tears will stop...

Who is there is wipe her tear? Can anyone find some???

Who has given Cyclone names

How did Cyclone Nisha get its name? The naming convention for cyclones in the northern Indian Ocean started in 2004 when the India Meteorological Department (IMD) released a list of names that would serve as a unique identifier in issuing forecasts and warnings.

Officials at the Regional Meteorological Centre in Chennai said the IMD got a list of name suggestions from seven countries —Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Thailand and Sri Lanka —as it provides weather advisories to these nations. The name ‘Nisha’ was submitted by Bangladesh. Cyclone Nargis, which caused devastation in Myanmar, was a name drawn from the list of suggestions from Pakistan. The names enable weather forecasters to eliminate confusion over several systems that may form at the same time.

Cyclone names are chosen from the place where they start. Each year, the names of particularly destructive storms are retired and new names are chosen to take their place.

The convention of naming cyclones dates back to the early 20th century when an Australian forecaster named major storms after politicians he disliked.

While the US weather office started giving names to cyclones in 1953, the trend began in the sub-continent in 2004.

Check out the list of the Cyclones names around the world -

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutn
ames.shtml

I guess when it comes to Names, i guess right person to ask is Shakespeare who asked everyone "What's in a Name"

News : It seems Cyclone Nisha is goin to shore itself soon, so no problem from Cyclone Nisha, she just came to warn you to take care of your place. That's all :-)

Batman to die a grisly death?

When they are giving life to Jason Bourne in Bourne franchise which starred Matt Demon. Though the book ended the story with 3 installment, the director and producer wants to continue it more further!

DC comics' superhero Batman has decided to kill the 70 years of fighting crime.

A mysterious Bat came to me and said that in the next issue of the comic, published Thursdays, Bruce Wayne, the face behind Batman's mask will meet a grisly end.

However, the latest 'Batman' movie 'The Dark Knight', starring Christian Bale as Wayne and the superhero, was a box-office smash and another film is said to be in the offing.

Mickey turned 80

Could Mickey really be 80? The world's favorite mouse made his screen debut in Steamboat Willie on this date in 1928, when the short animated film opened at the Colony Theater in New York City.

Creator Walt Disney had come up with the idea of a friendly-looking mouse in red velvet pants, as he traveled back to Los Angeles from NY, having lost his earlier cartoon creation, Oswald Rabbit, to his financial backers. Disney and head animator Ub Iwerks fine-tuned Mickey's appearance and Disney himself provided the character's voice in the early days.

Prince Harry Next James Bond?

Hollywood actor Daniel Craig says Prince Harry is the "perfect" man to replace him as the secret agent in Bond movies.

According to dailymail.co.uk, Craig, who met the young royal at the premiere of "Quantum Of Solace", said: "I think Prince Harry would make a fantastic James Bond. He's suave and just a little bit dangerous.'

"Like Bond, he is unpredictable and would be perfect for the character. He's got everything it takes.'

See how charming he stands with the glass on his hand. After seeing this pic now everyone will also feel like Daniel, it will be great to see Harry saying this line "My name is James, James Bond" kyun friends !

Bow Wow Obama

When Obama enters the White house, he will take new puppy along with him. The old ones had to leave like it's old master who enjoyed the pleasure of staying in the White house.

The pups are goin to be selected by US experts. The American Kennel Club said the best dog for Malia Obama, 10, would be the hairless Chinese Crested because it would not agitate her asthma.

This breed is "exceptionally loving and affectionate with children," the AKC said.

California breeder Suzanne Morris said she is offering an $800 pedigree Labrador retriever puppy to the Obamas.

"It's a very, very mellow (dog) and easy with children," Morris said.

Paula Fasseas, founder of PAWS Chicago, suggested Obama choose a shelter dog for his family.

"I envision a wonderful shelter dog -- a mixed breed that's hypoallergenic," Fasseas said. "Not too big, not too little. Something nice for the girls to really play with."

Now who is the lucky Pooch who will Bow Wow Obama !!!

First images from Chandrayaan...

India has proved that it is best in everything, we have got images from Chandrayaan...

The first pictures that were taken by Chandrayaan-1 through the Terrain Mapping Camera on Friday.

The TMC was operated in October through a series of commands, which were issued from the Spacecraft Control Centre of the Indian Space Research Organisation Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network in Bengaluru.

The first images, which were received by the Indian Deep Space Network at Byalalu was later processed by the Indian Space Science Data Centre. The first images were taken at 8 am from a height of 9,000 km.

The first picture shows the northern coast of Australia while the second image taken at 12:30 pm from a height of 70,000 km shows Australia's southern coast.

The TMC is one of the 11 scientific instruments of Chandrayaan-1 and the camera can take black and white pictures of an object. The instrument has a resolution of about 5 mt, according to ISRO.


Soon, when every mother wants to feed her child food, she have to just show Moon pics. Chandama is not far, one day our Astronauts will also step in and make us all proud....

After all it's a small world

In the olden days when you loose a friend, it is hard to find them, but now we are living in Net world. Net world has made our life easy. Finding someone you know is just a click away....

Like that today my niece Archana found me in Orkut, she scrapped me this "hi akka (sister in Tamil)... how r u? I'm archana... i think u may remember." it's been ages since we spoke to each other. I was there when she was born, held her as baby, i was so attached to her, then as year passed we lost in contact. I have no idea what she is doin now, for me she is still the kid who played with me.

I Just could not believe that she contacted me today through Orkut, really we are living in a small world....

Dead and Kicking

When celebs are alive people tend to take you for granted, but when you are dead we make their statue stand so that the crows can pee on them...

But some stars/celebs get the same kind of respect, may be more when they are not among us. Such star is American singer Elvis Presley. Forbes magazine has released its annual Top-Earning Dead Celebrities list, Elvis Presley occupying the top slot since 2007.

Elvis is also known as The King of Rock 'n' Roll', Elvis who died 31 years ago, and his music is still rocking and has proved everyone that he still the Rock star....

Diwali Greetings to all

Like this Poem, i wish everyone Diwali and Prosperous New Year in advance.

Hope this Diwali destroy your problems with fire crackers and make you all smile like phuljadi. Happy Dewali....

Voting Bhooth

I just surfed a website called http://www.jaagore.com/, and thought that we can vote through Internet. But here you have to fill some forms and you will get the polling address.

I thought, since we are in Net age, we vote our fav actors, vote for our Indian Idol, i ask you friends, why can't we have a procedure where we can vote for good leader too.
I guess we have right to do with our own comfort na.

Goin to Voting booth is like entering a bhooth bungalow or fish market or some kind of scary place, where people fight and there is no sense of manners among people when it comes to Voting. So, some of the people who want to stay away from these problems, tend not vote, but if you have some kind of chance to vote through Internet or even through mobile, i bet everyone will vote....what say?? Think about it....

Jaagore World !!!

Surabhi: Renuka Sahane and Siddharth

Then were 'Mungerilal ke hasin sapane' and 'karamchand'...'Vikram Betal', etc.

How did one survive growing up in the 70's, 80's and 90's?

We had no seatbelts, no airbags, no toilet papers and sitting in the back of a truck was a treat…

Our baby prams had the most gorgeous lead based colours…

No such thing as tamper proof bottle tops…

Opening kitchen cupboards was a breeze… as safety locks were unheard off…

Cycling was like a breath of fresh air…

No safety helmets, knee pads or elbow pads, with plenty of cardboards between spokes to make it sound like a motorbike…

When thirsty we only drank tap water, bottled water was still a mystery…

We kept busy collecting bits & pieces so we could build all sort of things … and we were fearless on our bikes even when the brakes failed going downhill…

We were showing off how tough we are, by how high we could climb trees & then jumping down….It was great fun….

We could stay out to play for hours, as long as we got back before dark, in time for dinner…

We walked to school, or sometimes we even rode our bike.

We had no mobile phones, but we always managed to find each other….

How? No one knows…

We lost teeth, broke arms & legs, we got cuts and bruises and bloody noses…. nobody complained as we had so much fun, it wasn't anybody's fault, only ours

We ate everything in sight, cakes, bread, chocolate, ice-cream, sweet sugary drinks, yet, we stayed skinny by fooling around.

And if one of us was lucky to find a 1 litre coca cola bottle we all had a swag from it & guess what? Nobody picked up any germs...

We did not have Play Stations, MP3, Nintendo's, I-Pods, Video games, 99 Cable TV channels, DVD's, Home Cinema, Mobile phones, Home Computers, Laptops, Chat-rooms, Internet, etc ... BUT, we had REAL FRIENDS!!!!

We called on friends to come out to play, never rang the doorbell, just went around the back…

We loved being let loose in the big bad world…without bodyguards…

We played with sticks and stones, played cowboys and Indians, doctors and nurses, hide and seek, soccer games, over and over again…

When we failed our exams we were given a second chance by simply repeating the same grade…without visiting psychiatrists, psychologists or counselors…

Such were the days…

We had freedom, success, disappointments and responsibilities. ..

Most of all, we learned to respect others…

HAVE A SUPER DAY! with Golden Days Value!!!!!!!!!

Publicity Well

We all have heard of the Wishing well, where we throw coin and our wish come true. But have you heard of another Well, where one has to throw their kid into it, you are all over the news. It is called Publicity Well !

In 2006 a kid named Prince feel in the bore well, after that there was another incident of another kid Vandana, now in 2008, another kid named Sonu fell in 100-ft borewell, hope they save him too...

What is happening these days? Who has kept these wells unattended? Are these parents leave their children from some stupid publicity reason. Why these children are left out free near the dangerous wells. I guess now the government should do something about this. They should learn from these and should close these wells which act like a of gateway of hell to these small children.

What do u think? Comment about it ....

God Is One

Thinking of the problems we face, bomb blast in everywhere and destroying the holy place.
I just wanna give you an example that God is One !

Just take example of Lord Krishna and Jesus Christ...Do you know they have many similarity? I will explain in detail...Hope i am not wrong....

1. When Krishna and Jesus were above to be born, there were prophesy about them....
2. Krishna and Jesus did miracles to do good to people
3. Kishan and Jesus's teaching became holy book Bible, Bhagwat Geeta...
4. They both were killed

See how many similarities these 2 different God have, yet we always choose to separate them...., though we call God by different name, he is always same for everyone...

Tradition

Yesterday i saw this wonderful musical movie called Fiddler on the Roof which released on 1971, that old movie but a golden one...

Tradition is the only mantra known to Ukrainian Jewish Milk man Tevye. The jewish old tradition where there is Fiddler on every roof and who lay steady with the help of strong support of their unbeatable tradition. Where Man has the last say on the matter, woman who keep the house clean and bring their daughter with the knowledge of household and son help their father.

Tevye is blessed with 5 daughters who is so optimist that he think nothing will come in between his belief and Tradition. But soon his most lovable 3 daughter are set to prove him wrong.

Tradition should be for well being for people, it should teach only good but there are some tradition which should be erased from people's mind such as dowry, female infanticide, animal sacrifice and more....

To Superman's rescue.

Superman always came to his people rescue. Now his people are coming to his rescue, wanna know how?

Superman's home planet Krypton was destroyed, but his house on Earth will live on thanks to loyal fans and an online auction that raised $100,000 to restore the rotting home where the Man of Steel was created.

Everything from original artwork to a role on the hit television show "Heroes" was sold in the month-long auction, which ended on Tuesday, to save the dilapidated Cleveland, Ohio, house where Superman was dreamed up by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster more than 70 years ago.

"This was easily the most humbling spectacular project I've ever been part of, and showed just how much people care about this character and why today Superman still matters," said novelist Brad Meltzer, who organized the auction.

Meltzer said $101,744 was raised in the month-long sale of art, memorabilia and other donated goods, more than double the $50,000 goal. The extra money will allow organizers to fix up not just the outside but also the inside of the Cleveland house where an elderly couple now live.

Meltzer, who discovered the deteriorating house while researching a novel, said at first he wasn't sure people would care about restoring the red-and-blue house where the superhero who wears the red-and-blue suit was dreamed up in 1932.

But the response has been overwhelming.

"The house where Google was created is saved. The farm where Hewlett-Packard was founded is preserved. We protected the house where Dr. Seuss lived, where Elvis lived," noted Meltzer. "So the idea that Superman's house was just rotting away struck everyone as inherently wrong."

Meltzer, who offered the naming rights to a character in his next novel as part of the auction, takes no credit for saving the home, saying loyal fans of the comic book hero came to Superman's rescue.

"We're all Clark Kent. We all know what it is like to be boring and ordinary and we all want to be able to rip open our shirt and do something beyond ourselves. That's what happened here. Ordinary people made a difference."

Paap Ki Raazi

There is virus culture growing like a fire called Paparazzi i call it Paap Ki Raazi b'cos these so called Paparazzi otherwise known as Freelance photographers are like dogs running after a bone...

They have no sense of privacy... They just wanna click pics of celebs and earn money by hook and crook. There are many accidents happen b'cos of these Pap Rascals. Like for instance, Princess Diana was killed by these Razzis. They chased her to death.

Even they went to SRK house and threw stones in order to take some snaps of Srk son and daughter. I know you have to pay a price to stardom, but this will cost someone's life too.

These people are always in the wrong place in the wrong time and blame Film celebs for attacking them. But they have no idea that first they have take permission from the Film wallah and then they can click.

They should give respect to the celebs privacy too What say????

Good For Your Soul

This is one of the beautiful stories I came across and decided to post. Read and Enjoy.


A conversation between a boy and his father in a restaurant. The son asked if he could say grace.
As they bowed their heads he said, "God is good. God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if Mom gets us ice cream for dessert. And Liberty and justice for all!
Amen!"
Along with the laughter a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice-cream! Why, I never!"
Hearing this, the son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?"
Father held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at the son and said,
"I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."
"Really?" my son asked.
"Cross my heart," the man replied. Then in a theatrical whisper he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."
The father bought ice cream at the end of the meal. The son stared at his for a moment and then did something that the Father will remember the rest of his life. He picked up his sundae and without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you.Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes; and my soul is good already."

Queen of all Diamonds

LONDON (AFP) - Gem Diamonds, a London-listed mining firm, said on Sunday it had recovered a 478 carat diamond from its mine in Lesotho: the 20th-largest rough diamond ever found.

The discovery of the gem, which the company said had the potential to become one of the largest round-cut diamonds in the world, was made on September 8 at the Letseng mine in Lesotho.

"Preliminary examination of this remarkable diamond indicates that it will yield a record-breaking polished stone of the very best colour and clarity," the company's Chief Executive Clifford Elphick said in a statement.

The diamond, which has not yet been named, has the potential to yield a 150 carat polished stone, a company spokesman said.

That would be far bigger than the 105 carat round-cut Koh-i-Noor diamond seized by Britain from India in the 19th century and now part of the Crown Jewels.

It would still only be a fraction of the size, however, of the Cullinan diamond discovered in 1905, which was 3,106 carats when recovered and yielded a teardrop shaped diamond of 530 carats: the Great Star of Africa.

The Letseng mine is owned by a mining company that is 70 percent owned by Gem Diamonds, with the remaining 30 percent held by the Lesotho government.

Gem Diamonds's share price on the London Stock Exchange was 741.50 pence at the close of trading on Friday.

Bonzi Buddy

He is a perfect Computer friend. I used to have him in my comp long back, i have also shared him with my other friend, he is very sweet, he tells me funny Jokes, some interesting facts, he also sing to make my mood happy, he laughs like a child does many antics too. He used to talk with me, help me with my browsing too and also help me to download my files. Who can forget his way of eating the bananas. I will always miss him....

I know you guys will think why i am talking about my Bonzi in past tense, yeah i don't use him anymore, but one day when i was alone with my comp, i started missing my Computer Buddy. So i thought of sharing my memory of him with you guys. He is and alway be my Perfect Buddy....

Wish our president also be like them!

In England there is a rule that every royal should go to do Military service. Even Prince Harry did his military duty in Afghanistan. It is nice that being a Prince, Harry could have stayed home and enjoyed all the goodies of being Royal. But he choose to be in Army that shows the he will become greatest King one day....

Wish our President has a military background, so when disaster strikes then they can come in rescue. There should be a clause in their resume that they should be educated and would have been in Army service. Like they show in a Ad a guy will ask a politician what is his qualification for ruling the country. I guess everyone should ask that question and should never accept any who is illiterate and have a criminal background. What say????

Devil on Wheel

When i posted my article about Auto, i did not think that i will be writing again about Auto, this time i am talking about Auto with Steroid which we call " Share Auto"....They dumb people like anything. More than six people can travel in a Share Auto....

My brother's share auto tumbled trice and fell in the Mud area, thank God ! B'cos of the mud, the impact was less. He had few scratches in the hand and legs. The share auto wallah was drunk and tried to run from the accident spot. Glad there was police to catch him in action.

I ask why these auto wallah drive their autos like devil. Are they not responsible for their travelers? Everyone are the same in all country. No one has any traffic rules. Everyone are in hurry...Wish someone do something for the speed control in our country too like it happens in the West....

We were so shocked to see his shirt torned when he entered our house. Still he suffers from the pain. Please pray that my brother becomes well again...

Music, Language of every Soul

Music, when you think about music every heart feels Happy.

Music can be used as therapy, i one read that in one Dentist used music when he was pulling the tooth of his patient, he used to make his patient wear ear phone and listen to music while he does his job without making his patient feel the pain, that is the effect of Music.

In olden days they used to sing while working, music has potential to make people forget about their stress.

You know some music remind us about our good moments spend with our loved ones. Hearing a particular song, sometime i get transfer into the time where i spent with my loved ones. There is no body in this world who has not shed some tear after hearing their favorite songs....

Music has potential to suppress your anger, if you angry at someone, hear your fav song alone, your anger will disappear.

Music has many kind of effect in people...Music is language of every Soul
