New Look!
I have been thinking of giving a make over for my blog since a few days.I tried many looks and it was a tough decision to make.Finally i got this and really loved this.Hope you all liked it too .It took me a lot of time to fix up everything back in place as the links and other stuffs i had added had been lost. What actually made me finalize on this is my love for dogs.I loooooooooooove Dogs.Sj just like all other dissimilarities, loves cats.Not that i dont like cats,but i prefer dogs.Anyway our building management dont allow pets here.Moreover I am scared that they would dirty the house.I have already read scray blogs on naughty pets.Considering these two factors, I dont have a pet now.But someday i'l surely get one.
Cheers

Thursday Thirteens! # 4
 |
OMG!I never realized today is thursday.I cant accept the pace at which each day passes.Thanks brenda nd for reminding me that its time for TT.Since i hadn't thought of anything and since i cant think of anything soon,i thught i'l write about Sydney Sheldon.The first novel which i finished in a day in my life was "Windmills Of God" when i was 16.That still remains my favourite thriller.Though I like Shelden's works, he is not my favourite auther.We kind of get used to his novels after 3-4 of them.But i feel noone can create susoense as he does. 1)Sheldon was born Sidney Schechtel in Chicago, Illinois, to parents of Russian Jewish ancestry 2)At 10, he made his first sale, $10 for a poem. 3The Naked Face is his first novel. 4)Sheldon contemplated suicide as a teenager, was forced out of college by the Depression. 5)It was estimated that as many as 300 million copies of his 18 novels are in print, in a total of 51 languages 6)He was in the Army Air Forces service in World War II. 7)Several of his novels became television miniseries, often with the Sheldon severing as producer. 8))Once, fire threatened his California home. Told to snatch his most prized possessions and prepare to flee, he spurned everything but pens and paper. 9)His novels are more appreciated for their reader appeal and hard work than than their literary merit. 10)Mr. Sheldon turned to fiction only in his 50s, after having an idea for a thriller he felt was too psychologically nuanced for film, TV or the stage. 11) He was married for more than 30 years to Jorja Curtright Sheldon, a stage and film actress. After her death in 1985 he married Alexandra Sheldon, a former child actress ana their daughter Mary Sheldon Dastin is an author too. 12)He said in interviews "I like to write about women, who are talented and capable, but most important, retain their femininity. Women have tremendous power, their femininity, because men can't do without it.""I like to write about women, who are talented and capable, but most important, retain their femininity. Women have tremendous power, their femininity, because men can't do without it." "If I write about a place, I have been there. If I write about a meal in Indonesia, I have eaten there in that restaurant. I don't think you can fool the reader." 13)After a career that had earned him a Tony, an Oscar and an Emmy,Sheldon died January 30, 2007 of complications from pneumonia at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California |

Orange A day
"An orange a day keeps the apple away".Well, thats what i think.Strange,I dont like apples and really like oranges, especially the sweet seedless ones.
This photo is the result my extreme boredom yesterday.I took my camera n tried out many different things with it.Since i really couldn't tolerate the cold outside, had to rely on the fruits in my fridge.There were nearly 50 photos taken out of which hardly a few came out bearable.My dining table makes my entire studio.I really have to work harder on clicking pics without a shake.Anyway im at the beginning stage and got lots to learn.I couldn't figure out why the orange had a discolouration in the photo at the top.Guess its the light.But even after i tried different angles, i couldn't avoid that completely.So if any of you can suggest a remedy for that, I would be grateful.

Please read this!
I read this somewhere and thought i would share it with all.This seemed so true for me and felt that all of you who read this might feel the same. Enjoy each and every day of our lives.
1000 MARBLES
The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday mornings. Perhaps it's the quiet solitude that comes with being the first to rise, or maybe it's the unbounded joy of not having to be at work. Either way, the first few hours of a Saturday morning are most enjoyable.A few weeks ago, I was shuffling toward the basement ham-shack with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other.What began as a typical Saturday morning turned into one of those lessons that life seems to hand you from time to time. Let me tell you about it.I turned the dial up into the phone portion of the band on my ham radio in order to listen to a Saturday morning swap net. Along the way, I came across an older sounding chap, with a tremendous signal and a golden voice.You know the kind; he sounded like he should be in the broadcasting business.He was telling whomever he was talking with something about "a thousand marbles." I was intrigued and stopped to listen to what he had to say.
"Well, Tom, it sure sounds like you're busy with your job. I'm sure they pay you well but it's a shame you have to be away from home and your family so much. Hard to believe a young fellow should have to work sixty or seventy hours a week to make ends meet. Too bad you missed your daughter's dance recital he continued, "Let me tell you something Tom, something that has helped me keep a good perspective on my own priorities.
"And that's when he began to explain his theory of a "thousand marbles.""You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic. The average person lives about seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some live less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years. Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3900, which is the number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire lifetime."
"Now, stick with me, Tom, I'm getting to the important part. It took me until I was fifty-five years old to think about all this in any detail" he went on, "and by that time I had lived through over twenty-eight hundred Saturdays. I got to thinking that if I lived to be seventy-five, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy. So I went to a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I ended up having to visit three toy stores to round up 1000 marbles. I took them home and put them inside a large, clear plastic container right here in the sack next to my gear." "Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and thrown it away. I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focus more on the really important things in life. There is nothing like watching your time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities straight."
"Now let me tell you one last thing before I sign-off with you and take my lovely wife out for breakfast. This morning, I took the very last marble out of the container. I figure that if I make it until next Saturday then I have been given a little extra time. And the one thing we can all use is a little more time." "It was nice to meet you Tom, I hope you spend more time with your family, and I hope to meet you again here on the band.
This is 75 Year Old Man, K9NZQ, clear and going QRT, good morning!" You could have heard a pin drop on the band when this fellow signed off. I guess he gave us all a lot to think about. I had planned to work on the antenna that morning, and then I was going to meet up with a few hams to work on the next club newsletter. Instead, I went upstairs and woke my wife up with a kiss. "C'mon honey, I'm taking you and the kids to breakfast." "What brought this on?" she asked with a smile. "Oh, nothing special, it's just been a long time since we spent a Saturday together with the kids. And hey, can we stop at a toy store while we're out? I need to buy some marbles....

cant believe this!!!
I cant actually believe that this is happening.A mom wants her own daughter killed.How evil?I hope all might have read about Lauren Richardson who went to a coma after a drug over dose.I dont know if she is already dead.I hope not.I read that even though she is showing signs of improvement, her mother still wants the food tube removed.I have all my prayers with her dad who is fighting for his daughter.The most cruel thing is that she is being starved to death.This is inhuman.My heart felt the pain when i saw her video in which she was shown as responding to poeple.May be she wants to live.How cruel is it to starve and murder a disabled person.Couldn't they atleast give her a more peaceful and easy death.Lord,i cant believe this is happening.Whhat kind of person is her mother.How can a mother who bore her child in her womb be so cunning towards her own daughter.This is same as it happened with Terri Schiavo.I pray to God to give her a quick n painless death if they remove the tube.I pity her child who would have to live wth such a cruel grand mother.
