Thoughts in the late summer



Oh how much I like the late summer with it's warm days and high sky. The drops of the morning dew shine like brillants in spider webs and the first peaches and apples are ripe.
The first fogs show the fall and the first leaves fall down from the trees.
Last roses are blood-red, to show that they don't want to die, but they have just still some weeks to blow.
The days are getting shorter and the nights longer, it shows us how close the fall is.
Still is the sun warm and I hold my face towards t

There are five great benefits of living a purpose-driven life: 

Knowing your purpose gives meaning to your life. We were made to have meaning. This is why people try dubious methods, like astrology or psychics, to discover it. When life has meaning, you can bear almost anything; without it, nothing is bearable. A young man in his twenties wrote, "I feel like a failure because I'm struggling to become something, and I don't even know what it is. All I know how to do is to get by. Someday, if I dis

English Learning Experience

The British, who ruled at subcontinent for about more than a century, had laid down the foundation of English as an official language, which is still the language of the court, public and private sectors in my country.  Therefore, English is taught as a compulsory subject from grade one to grade fourteen. A candidate for the job must possess the ability to write it excellently.

At my time, English used to be taught from grade six. So, we started learning this language very late. At the beginnin

Nice Lyrics of this old Song...

I really liked this lyrics...

I just kept going with the life,
Kept on flowing every worry like smoke..

It was useless to be sad for the runings (of life, the things I lost)
(so) I kept on celebrating the runinings..

Whatever I got, I considered that as my fate,
whatever I lost, I kept going, forgetting it..

Where there is no difference felt in sorrow and joy,
I kept myself bringing to that point..

(copied )  Lyrics of

"Main Zindagi ka Saath Nibhata Chala Gaya"

of movie (Hum Dono)

I don't like to

When I was small, I always enjoyed going out with my father except for the visits to the dentist. Besides the pain of the needles, I had to endure the horrible sound of the drill. Apart from this, I hated the way my dentist worked inside my mouth with his tools.

Once I told my father about this and he said, "You have no other choice except to go for regular dental check-ups if you want to keep your teeth healthy and beautiful, Shoba." 

After that I learned to bite the bullet and put up with my de

I'd say ''Thanks'' You?

You’re doing no one any favors when you say “sorry” whenever you do something wrong, unless you’re Canadian. Most people mutter ''sorry'' when they mess something up and of those people who think that by saying ''sorry'' they'd be off the hook, there are some smart a** guys who make up a lame excuse for what they've done. Oooooh! That really ''grinds my gears''. How about showing a little bit of appreciation? People have no idea how many doors a simple ''thank you'' would open. Let me show you h

Meanwhile in a parellel universe...

The illustrations are self-explanatory in this blog entry. I have nothing to say except that I'm psychologically disturbed. I betcha can relate to some of these pics. However, the vice versa situation seems pretty normal, though, huh? Makes you wonder.

Warning!

Some of these pics are gruesome and disturbing, but I hope they'll help you look at the subject from a totally different perspective.

BRUCE, BRUSKE, BRUSCHETTA

Let's face it, most of us mispronounce food words in our everyday conversations. I see you're raising an eyebrow. What? You don't believe me? Okay. Fine. Take ''raspberry'', for instance. There's a pesky ''p'' in the middle of this word. Is it silent? Or maybe you should pronounce it, no matter how hard it is. Nobody likes an "I told you so". But, told ya! 

Have no fear, cavalry is here. This is how it's done, folks:

The Dancing Girl

The Dancing Girl!

They both were the attraction of the entertainment at the beach.  No sooner the couple appeared on the beach than the boy started playing on his mandolin, the spectators started gathering around them in the circle and when the girl started to dance the crowd got thicker and thicker.  All the crowd tried to get closer to the circle except those who were late to join.  The boy played a tune on his mandolin to which rhythm the girl’s feet moved, so moved her entire body and the han

Typography

The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point size, line length, line-spacing (leading), letter-spacing (tracking), and adjusting the space within letters pairs. In contemporary use, the practice and study of typography is very broad. It covers all aspects of letter design in either typesetting or handwriting.

This is an example of mechanical typography:

The Blind and the Braille Bricks

There are three levels of pain; pain, excruciating pain and stepping on a LEGO. Seriously, I'm not being a drama queen. Those who have experienced this unfathomable and torture-like pain know what I mean. Now, the good news: The Braille Bricks project, co-founded by the Dorina Nowill Foundation For The Blind, helps blind children learn to read in a less tedious way. These bricks are completely similar to regular LEGOSs, however, for the benefit of the blind children, each block features one Brai

FROM PART II

It was a horrible nightmare again, Angel had a very bad night sleeping. It was a dreamed that her mother was shaking her on her arms. After awhile, she saw again a horrible chinese man putting her at the blue crib with 2-3 other kids.

One is like sleeping dead, she sleeps on it while the baby boy was sleeping and the 3 other young kids were about to stand up. It's like a throwback. She saw that chinito guy that put her on a crib. She doesn't know why, all she knows she feels better be
