midnight thoughts

Really it's midnight now and I'm still sitting with my laptop and talking to people :) 

Funny thing about today .. I went to take a nap at 12 pm and ended up sleeping all day until 6 pm ... all I could think about "how did that happen?" probably I was too much tired during the week so it knocked me down for whole day ;) 

But what's more funny in all this is that I am yawning and feeling a bit sleepy again .. maybe it's just a feeling :) 

Anyway I'm here and if anyone needs to talk .. go on and get

The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: "Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep"; but no onepaid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure la

Then she began to eat the corn. Being very hungry, she ate a great deal, and went on eating and eating. She had grown very fat before she felt that she had had enough.
When the mouse tried to climb out of the basket, she

Good Meal

The children were hungry. They looked out the window. Where was their mother? She walked into the house. The children ran over to her. “Mama, we’re so hungry,” they both said. She said lunch was coming. She walked into the kitchen. She opened a can of chicken soup. She poured the soup into a pot. She added water. She put the pot on the stove. She made two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She sliced an apple. The soup was hot. She poured it into two bowls. She put the sandwiches on two plates.

The word dyslexia comes from the Greek words dys (difficulty) and lexia (language). 

Dyslexia is not simply a reading disorder. Dyslexics may also have difficulty with writing, spelling, pronunciati

Voice blog #17: Is Waiting Torture?

Recently, I read a newspaper about psychology of queuing when people are waiting to do something. Passengers in Houston airport gave a number of complaints about the long waits at baggage claim area many years ago.

They later increased some baggage employees for settling the issue. This method helped to reduce wait times, however, the complaints didn't vanish. So, the airport took an in-depth analysis, finding that about 88 % of passengers' time was wasted on waiting their baggage, and made anoth

What is Life?

Life is amalgam of vicissitudes, it is not a bed of roses. Everyone has to confront undesirable situations from which he wants to extricate himself. Every experience leaves behind a trail that sparkles and points to a definite course of action.
