TRANSFORMING CIRCLE

This installation took place in France, in the Church of the Jesuits – Museum of Beaus-Arts. It appears that it’s just an ordinary circle that hangs from the wall, but the truth behind it, is that it’s made of 8 separate parts, that are few meters one behind another! When looked from a certain point of view, it appears as a perfect circle, even though it’s just bunch of parts on various location. Ohh, and by the way, the “circle” isn’t transparent at all! The images are painted on it, so it appears transparent!

4 Questions 4 YOU To Ponder

Here are 4 questions that have served me well in my life so far. I believe questions are not only a critical part of building good relationships (which is the number 1 thing I value in my life) but they are also critical in finding your path and achieving your goals. These 4 questions are key:
Why?
Why workout, work so hard, help out, learn so much, push so hard, be so dedicated, take the risk
Why Not?
Why not see how many books you can read, how many skills you can develop, see how far you can go, see how much you can achieve, how much of a difference you can make.
Why Not You?
If someone else can do it why can’t you? If I can do it, why can’t you? Even if no one has done it you can do it. You can do anything you believe you can do.
Why Not Now?
There’s no better time than now, to work on yourself, work on your skills, start something new, get it together, grow, change, build, make a difference.

A sweet little girl.....

 A feel which comes around,
A care which is not in our bound,
A love which is like a mount,
Truly deserves to be crowned!
A smile of her face,
A stroke on my cheeks,
A kiss on the head,
A wish even in my bleak,
A sweet li’l girl sits in the corner and says…’ma…I miss you’!
The hug which holds us tight,
The warmth which breaks our fright,
The words which moulds up right.
Certainly takes us out of the plight!
The words and colours fades away,
The gloomy li’l world moves away.
The brightness of the sun brings again,
And the sweet li’l girl feels the pain!
She wakes up and makes her mood
And tries to find her own route.
Confused was she that she couldn’t find,
And had to bring back her ma ma’s mind.
And when she found the desired ground,
She found herself murmuring around: ‘ma..I miss you’

vortograph

The above photo is referred to as a vortograph. It is composed of kaleidoscopic repetitions of forms achieved by photographing objects through a triangular arrangement of three mirrors. The technique was developed by Alvin Langdon Coburn in 1917.

Relationships That Really Matter

Here’s a short quiz:

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name ten people who have won the Nobel Prize.
3. Name the five people who have won the Pulitzer Award.

How did you do?
The point is, none of us remembers the headliners of yesterday.
These are not second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields.
But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here’s another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school or life.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Was that easier?

The lesson: The people who make the biggest difference in our lives are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money or the most awards.

They are simply the ones that care the most.
These are the relationships we have to be grateful for.

Snatches of telephone conversation, and the beauty is that it is all palindrome.

You can read the same text from the back too.

E.L. Fletcher proposed a telephone conversation:

“No! … Too bad! … Ah! I was never, ever, even tired! … Now, is Eire very sordid? … Oh! Won’t I? … Did I? … Was I not up, spot on? … I saw no shell! … I saw it! … I did! I? … Fired? … No wonder! … It saw dad was well left … I sat, rapt! … I did? … Won’t i? … No! … Red? … No! … Prevent it? … Never! … Ponder on it now! … Did it part as it fell? … Lew saw dad was tired … No wonder, if i did it! … I was ill, eh, son? … Was i? … No tops put on, I saw … I did it? … No? … Who did? … Rosy reveries? I wonder! … It never, ever, even saw I had a boot on! …”

Why the lawyers are always seen in black robe?

According to tradition, barristers wear black because they’re still in mourning for Queen Mary II, who died in 1694.

Or, properly speaking, they adopted black on Mary’s death at the wish of William III and have retained it as a convenient costume ever since.

Mary is most commonly cited; sometimes another Stuart queen is named. Sir Frederick Pollock, who served as Chief Baron of the Exchequer for more than 25 years, famously joked that the whole bar went into mourning in the time of Queen Anne (Mary’s younger sister) and never came out again.

He wrote, “I have always been told that formerly the Bar wore, in Court, coats, &c. of any colour under the gown, which also need not have been black; but that on the death of Queen Anne the Bar went into mourning, and since then every barrister has generally worn black

Women In Islam

Before the advent of Islam, woman had no position in society. They
were at the mercy and caprice of the men folk and were treated as good
and chattels. It was Islam that, for the first time, vindicated the
rights of woman and gave them a status unknown and even unthought of
this day. They are granted all the fundamental rights. Islam is the
unique religion in this respect to endow woman with equal rights and
to put her on the same level with man
An American Justice Pierre Craibites has rightly observed when he
writes:"Muhammad (PBUH), 1300 years ago assured to the mothers, wives
and daughters of Islam a rank and dignity not yet generally assured to
women by the laws of the West."
A Muslim woman enjoys equal status with men. The object of her
creation, her duty to God and her duty to fellow human beings are the
same. A wife's rights are at equal with the husband and as a parent
her status is higher then that of the father. The Holy Prophet (peace
be upon him) said that man's primary duty is to his mother and that
paradise lies at the feet of the mother.
Women owe deep gratitude and thanks to the Holy Prophet whose highly
sensitive heart felt and appreciated the miserable conditions of women
and whose infinitely gentle and kind soul was instrumental in the
revelation of laws and teachings that have made women the equal, nay
in some respects, better than men. Let us forget that this was done
more then fourteen hundred years ago and not a single woman from any
part of the world has raised a voice against her Islamic rights.

LIFE

Definitions and explanations are in ample for the term ‘LIFE’. But it differs according to the respective age group and also the circumstances. The ticking of clock starts when an infant is born. Days pass by, with just learning to make sounds and recognizing the surroundings.

Then comes the childhood, ‘the very beautiful age’. No tensions, no worries, no responsibilities, no commitments. A pleasant world and the stress and agony is all about the schedules of playtime and preplanning for persuading parents to let go off for enjoying the moment. It is followed up to seven or eight years of age….

Then the age comes where one becomes a little conscious about the studies and works. Envious feelings, competitions, selfishness in studies and getting more marks are the hallmarks of this age.

As this age gets end up, the teenage comes and it’s a tentative age. We never know what we intend to do and we certainly try to know what we are not suppose to do. A dilemmatic age, and the very confusing head, where everything is in doubt. ‘Either this or that’ comes behind almost everywhere and in every aspects. Bursting out of anger and getting emotional is nowhere in deviance.

The time comes then, is the best as well as the worst period. The youth age, probably after seventeen and the following. It’s an age where we understand what exactly life is all about. Experiences and situations occur where we learn a lot. Problems make us strong, brave and bold. It’s the focal point for divergences. Choosing good will make up the life and opting for the other way will only mess up your life.

Expressing and jolting with my experience I would certainly say. Life and world is not all about what you read, see and hear. It is something much more than that , something beyond.

Books make philosophies, philosophies make thoughts. Thoughts make intentions and intentions make lives. But lives change and differ every moment.

Living happily ever is just an illusion. We come alone in this world. We live alone and we die alone. Nobody ever accompany us. In today’s world the trend has changed so much that there are no homes but just buildings. There are relationships but no love and care, marriages but no commitments, food but no energy and health, medicines but no cure ,smiles but no enduring happiness. The world is not what exactly it seems to be. Essence of life and emotions are lost. Life has become like mere computer programmes and emotions have become just like emoticons and people have become like Halloweens all the way with a disguise in self.

Life is what we make it. Live the moment, be happy. Do not believe and trust everybody and everything. Life can analyze you every second. Every moment can be a surprise, shock as well. Cherish the happier moment and learn from the mistakes committed. Do not expect anything from anyone. Well said the great English scholar, William Shakespeare: ‘Expectations always hurts’

World has become evil not because of the violence of the bad people but because of the silence of the good people. It’s actually the people who have made the world so. The world has got no more place for the good and benevolent people.

Living life without any botheration of others comments and giving them least consideration is the only way to live happily.

After all life is just like a game or a puzzle. We never know when we win and lose. Perhaps, this is what life is and this is what the play of fate is. Certainly nobody would better understand it than the creator itself. All praises to the almighty.

Life gets meaning when you start living happily. Never wait for happiness because it will make you wait ever. It is only the thought which you need to change and it will automatically change your way of living. Live happily everJ

Living happily ever is an illusion!

Why are flowers not black in colour?

There is a lot of physics and chemistry involved in flowering and colouration of flowers. Visual and chemical stimuli are provided by the flowers to the pollinators like bees. Flowers have to be essentially in colours other than black. Black objects absorb and retain heat. Hence, flowers, if black, will wither soon after sunrise. Essentially the pollen will have to be kept cool during daytime, at least for 8 hours for viable pollination. Since most of the flowers directly face the sun at least for a few hours, stresses like rise in temperature, photosynthetic oxygen surge and fluid rise due to capillary pressure will adversely affect the texture, composition and longevity of flowers. That is why flowers are not black in colour. It is a natural adaptation.

Calculate the time
