Rising Earth

We all surely know what it’s like to watch the Sunrise, but how about rising Earth? That has to be just awesome and spectacular. And an impossible view for us who are on the Earth, all the time!

I had downloaded these images a long time back, around April 2009. Have a look –>

Humor + Tech: Now that’s Amazing!

I would certainly not do what the video suggests. Never! I’m not EVIL. Anyways, if we ignore our critical side, this video is pretty funny. Welcome to the world of Nano. Enjoy.

“SSS: Seven Short Stories” Sunday

There were lots of stories, but I wanted to share just seven of them [according to the SSS title of my post].

These are thought-provoking real-life happenings shared by people from all over the world on the website MMT [Makes Me Think].

1. Today, after a 72 hour shift at the fire station, a woman ran up to me at the grocery store and gave me a hug.  When I tensed up, she realized I didn’t recognize her.  She let go with tears of joy in her eyes and the most sincere smile and said, “On 9-11-2001, you carried me out of the World Trade Center.”

2. Today, I pulled into a small gas station in the middle of the desert in New Mexico and realized I had left my wallet at my girlfriends house 5 hours away.  I had no money and Continue reading

Believe in Yourself.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same.

- Nelson Mandela.

Give it a thought. I most certainly need to.

Good Day everyone! :)

My Mom Loves Birds, Esp. Sparrows!

We ,if we are lucky enough to have an open mind, interact with nature. Flowers, birds, or other natural wonders around us. My mom has these special friends which come over in the evening almost at the same time. These sparrows stay in the balcony near the flowers (My mom’s gardening) and search for food. They chirp until my Mom opens Continue reading

So This is True, Yet Again

I knew it and now I know it again. That one negative emotion leads to another and then there is no stopping until you deny them to enter in your mind. Here in my case, the negative emotion is “irritation”. I guess, I would have rather sung a song instead of listening to irritating words.

Anyways, I should not talk about it much.

Have a nice time. And here is the smile :)

A Dream Come True!

Wonderful.
Miraculous.
Strained.
Sensational.
Touching.
Emotional.
Memorable.
Historic.
Unpredictable.

OK now I’m running out of words. Our World Cup 2011 win was simply BRILLIANT! Any more words which can capture the whole feeling? :D

P.S. I literally prayed on each ball when India was batting. But I never lost my faith. I just kept asking God- “So you are not gonna make this an easy win, haan?”

To Afridi, with Love [by Maheen Sadiq]

I came across this article (which is actually a letter) today on Facebook via a friend (J.J.) of mine. I found it really touching. Such lovely words. It really is worth sharing.

To Afridi, with Love ~ by Maheen Sadiq

There’s a lot to be said about the cricket tournament, especially our match against India. And it has a lot more to do with Misbah-ul-Haq and Umar Gul’s bad luck, and Sachin Tendulkar’s good fortune.

Cricket speaks to our nation in a way our government never has.

And Shahid Afridi addressed the nation in a way our president never has – unselfish, genuine, modest. So when Afridi apologized to Pakistan, millions listened and were humbled by the gesture. Our eyes filled with tears and our hearts with love and strange kind of sorrow. Shahid Afridi, you need not apologize to the nation. We are proud of you and our entire cricket team! You didn’t bring back the cup, but any excitement, any happiness, any hope that Pakistanis have felt in the past few months is because of your brilliance. We’ve been hearing a lot of “Pakistan needs something to celebrate,” but Continue reading
