Passport size photo…

If you asking me for a photo… yes sure I have many…. But all are soft copies…. And if u wants a hard copy then sorry childhood photos is the only thing I have….. This morning I was asked to submit some documents and 4 passport size photos… this sounds easy but it was not…. I cud not find a single passport size photo…. all the ones I had were more than 2 yrs old and I don’t look the same any more…. One I had was the latest one but it was just a single copy so of no use… and due to this digital age, dint have negatives… so I cud just develop them and get some extra copies… This all seemed so impossible…. My office hrs were such that I could not go before office because at 9am none of the photo shops are open nor could I go at night as I reached home at 9pm, same all the shops shut down…. There seemed no way, how I could manage to get 2 passport size photos…. 


The agent would remind me every day about my photos missing from the documents to submit… so finally I decided to go to office bit late and click my snaps… the whole idea of clicking a snap sounded so weird… first of all it was suppose to be a good snap where u look neat and tidy secondly unlike other snaps where you are busy giving poses and capturing special moments with family and friends. Here u had to have a very formal photo where you cant smile as you wish, even your smile is measured and if u don’t smile the photographer would force you to do so… again the hair do had to be good, as u just cant go as u wanna…. I was not liking this one bit but had no choice… so finally I decided to give up thinking about it and thought of just give it a shot…. 


Today I see myself being more particular about how I looked and how is my hair… why are my eyes looking so sleepy and on and on…… but finally the snap was clicked and I asked them for an urgent delivery as I was in hurry… it costed much higher than the normal but I had no choice… when I got my new passport size snaps photos…I was not much happy about it and so I just asked the photographer why the snap was not so good and that I dint like it.. and it could be much better…. The answer I got was to mean an answer….. it was “ madam you want an urgent photo and you also expect it to be good…. How is that possible….”. this made me wonder what photography skills and an urgent photo have to do…? as any other person I was there sitting for a photo.... in front of the same lights and also followed every instructions given by him about my smile being too small and too big and shit…. This taught me a lesson …. 


And now I asked my friend to get his SLR so that we could click some good snaps… thanks to my non professional photographer friend and his armature skills that now I have much better…. No no wrong word… I have superb photos clicked and the best I could do for the professional photographer was I took the snaps clicked by my friend to him for developing….and I got 40 odd croppies done so for next at least a month I will not have to click passport size photos…..

Rock N Roll...

Music

What is music?

Music is an art form whose medium is sound and to many people in many cultures music is an important part of their way of life.

Anyways, I would like to write first about my favorite kind of music …. “Rock n Roll”…

The term “Rock n Roll” was coined in the 1950s by a Disc Jockey named Alan Freed, with regards to a particular style of music that shook things up in that era. This musical form had its beginnings in the blues tunes, gospel music, and jazz-influenced vocal music that became popular among African-American audiences; it featured electrically amplified guitars, harmonicas, and drummers that emphasized afterbeats.

Now, when I think Rock n Roll the first thing that comes to my mind is the KING !!!

Elvis Aaron Presley- (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), in the humblest of state of affairs, was born to Vernon and Gladys Presley in a two-room shotgun house in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8, 1935. His twin brother, Jessie Garon, was stillborn, leaving Elvis to grow up as an only child.

There was little money, but Vernon and Gladys did their best to provide for their son, who was the center of their lives.

Then in 1945 at the Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show , young Elvis, at the age of 10 , stands on a chair in front of a microphone and sings "Old Shep" in a youth talent contest ..and wins! The talent show is broadcast over WELO Radio. Winning fifth prize, Elvis receives $5.00 in fair ride tickets.

One year later in 1946 on the 8^th of January, Elvis wanted a bicycle or a rifle (not too sure which one) for his birthday but his parents could not afford either of them, so Gladys talks Elvis into buying a guitar. Without knowing it at the time his mother paid about 7 and a half dollars for the beginning of a music revolution that would alter the face of music forever…

Responsibility towards our parents...

“John be responsible, now you are on your own, we won’t be there to support you every time” every mom say this to his son. We hear this everyday from some or the other person. It’s not new. Most of us love their parents. According to me there are two types of people around us. One who thinks that parents are our responsibility and second who thinks it’s their duty towards us. But no one has ever thought about duty of a child towards their parents. I don’t think so it will ever happen.

When we were kids we were not that good to take any decision. It was only our parents who used to guide us so that we learn to take our own decision because they care for us. Now questions arise about care. What is care all about? Care is a support. It is a pain killer when we are tired of our life and think we are good for nothing. It is our parents who support us at that time. Sometimes they ask too many questions like “Why are you so late today?” but now a days we call it as restrictions and we use to say they are not giving us space. If vice a versa happens we say careless parents. When they care for us we call it restrictions.

So only the parents are responsible to us there is no our responsibility to make them happy. Think about this every question will be answered.

Sports Betting....

Many number of times we see a group of men cheering for a team and betting on their favorite teams.

Lets pick up any sports and you will find people remembering few games which they can talk about.

Sports is very interesting and Sports betting is quite simple where you try to judge what will be the outcome of a game.

Your attempt is to guess who will win in the upcoming games based on which you can bet on the winner or an outcome.

Sports Betting can be done in various ways:

Straight bet is the most common type of bet. Here you need to guess when team would win and place a Bet on the team.

Over/under bets are on the combined number of points scored in the game by both teams.

Parlays are combined bets on several games.

Teasers is also similar like parlays. the Differece is that you can add or subtract points from the bets on the several games.

Sports gambling can be made more interesting and challenging by the bets that you place.

The Mind's Eye

The majority of people seldom discover the limitless possibilities on hand by making use of what we are all born with… the omnipotent subconscious mind. Many people are skeptic about further increasing or enhancing the performance of their own minds. Yes, it is so often taken for granted-what an indignity!! Those that do tap into their enormous subconscious potential consistently lead rewarding lives.
And…Here’s why:
To begin with, a whole new point of view as to your potential will show itself to you. You will realise that the subconscious mind is not something that you get from the outside, everything comes from within. Every time you make a hasty decision or act out your "gut feel" you are tapping into your subconscious mind-And as usual we don`t recognize what is at work for us. Discovering the proper potential of your subconscious mind will help you execute your daily tasks better.
Secondly, tapping into the power of the subconscious mind will help you get what you want. Success and bliss may recurrently appear to evade you, yet this may well be because of your need of consciousness of the remarkable power that dwells within you-the very thing that will help you to get what you want in life. If you get very clear on what you crave to bring into your life and you can imagine the end result and personalize it with passion and an unwavering belief on an ongoing basis you cannot fail to get that which you strongly wish for with mathematical certainty. Thirdly, what can be better than structuring a positive and fruitful life?
Having a positive mindset is one of the fundamental requisites to enjoying a rich and happy life. Happiness really is only a positive thought away-it is a lot simpler than one believes it is but it does take strength of will and faith. The way I see it we all have 2 choices in life: we can either be happy or unhappy. Once you get happiness up and running on a regular basis your life will begin to flow very very smoothly. This will happen because you will be in a positive mode and as we should know energy is everything and... everything is energy. Finally, the potential is truly endless when you tap into your subconscious mind.
As enormously phenomenal as the human body is it may actually be restraining your potential by holding you in check to what your five senses are able to perceive. Tapping in to the remarkable power of your mind conversely can lift the barriers and render you to infinite possibilities. You can see, hear and feel better with your minds eye because quite plainly, it can go where your body cannot.

At all times bear in mind,

We don`t see things as they are,

We see things as we are!

LIFE PARTNER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life without life partner is like fish without water. Life partner is so important in all of our life. We all need someone on which we can trust. It is the life partner who actually makes life complete. It feels so good to have the person who can share his/her feelings with us and also listen ours too. It feels so good to have the soul mate for our life. To spend life smoothly good life partner is must. Life partner is a term which implements to many things. You should see your friend your god in him/her. It is not only a relation which a couple holds for life time, but it is also the synonym for friendship, trust and understanding. It is the most beautiful and precious relation that a human being shares in his lifetime, that is why we become very worried and conscious of losing it. And a life partner is one who is the strength of his mate at bad times, also, be the strength at times of need.

Like there are two sides of each coin, similarly, this is the car, which doesn’t move without the support of the other, both the persons has to be mutually involve in making the life of their partner more lively and happy.

There are many qualities that make relationships good support, compromise, and open and honest communication is just a few of these qualities that you may desire in a relationship.

Following are the qualities, which a couple must possess…….

· Understanding should be there.

· Bond of friendship also behaves like a medicine in this case, which means, the relation must always start with the bond of friendship.

· Double facing quality of anyone will act as a devil in this relationship.

· Both of them has to be very fare and trust worthy in their approach.

· Couple should never hide anything from his/her life partner, because that can lead to future problems and misunderstandings.

· Life Partner should be like a shadow to your personality. He/she should know you all, from top to bottom, this helps in increasing the understanding level between them.

· Both of them should try and celebrate each day as valentine day or anniversary and should try and make things beautiful and life worthwhile.

· Gifting or giving surprises to the each other with a gap of few days, really helps in keeping the love factor alive.

Expectations

We usually keep expectation from everything. Knowingly or unknowingly. In fact usually we decide our actions and reactions depending on what we want and what we expect.

Let’s think in this way – we expect and let others expect from us. Once we let others expect from us we try to act the way they want us to and so we try to please them. We allow them to do so.. It’s simple give and take relation you expect they will also expect from you. We usually behave like this because we think of next person and don’t want to hurt them. This is one of the reasons we forget “what we actually are,what we want and what our natural reactions are“.

This also makes you and other person weak. As we stop others too from thinking wide.We actually don't let others know what ACTUAL we are. We curb ourselves from expressing your own self. Which is why they think and assume how we gonna react. And if we fail to react the way they have been seeing us and ultimately the way they want us to then we are termed as “Changed”.

As expectations increases person tend to inclined for quantitative output rather than qualities. This is also a reason of loosing focus from your work. It’s a vicious circle.

If not from others we start expecting from ourselves. Expecting from self is good if we really working towards it.

This can either increase your productivity or

We need to live simply without expectations and without judging. It’s us who choose to expect and let others expect from us. Let’s change this notion of expectations from ourselves and then see life will be much simpler and easy. Let’s not expect anything from others. Starting from your loved ones..

Things when we get without expectations will bring real happiness in our life, which will be everlasting.Lets increase our horizon and let others too. Its a free life where nothing is for free...

The KEY

Here is a thought. All the problems, issues, paradoxes have in the end a solution. We all believe it; we all in fact cherish that thought. The question that remains however is how to find it?

Imagine if you are given a key. Nothing more just a simple key. No instructions, no directions, no guidance… what do you do? 2 Things.. either you start looking for the lock to which the key fits or you tuck away the key keeping it “safe”.

All of us at some point have been told or been audience to some of the best thoughts, ideas, philosophies and what not. As a child we are told “Strike while the iron is hot” or “too many cooks spoil the broth” and scores of these awesome one-liners. As we grow up the school teaches us the concept of “Mirage”, the probability principle, the uncertainty principle, demand-supply ratio… and all the necessary “academic” requirements. Then as we proceed to college and future prospects of jobs and begin to “live our lives” we keep what we have learned just as “academics!”

The knowledge which we receive in school is the key! Ever wondered why you cannot get to the bottom of a problem? How to look into a particular situation without being judgmental? All these and more can be answered if only we look at what we’ve been taught in school and “APPLY IT!”

Look at it this way: In all our lives we’ve been provided solutions by remarks that we “always knew” right? Has it ever happened that you were given a truly “Out of this world” solution? Not possible as we live in this world! Remove the thought that everything that has been said is for “people”. That is the biggest folly that we as humans make. It is never general, it’s always personal. It never for OTHERS it’s always for YOU. At the end of the day if you are unable to gaze through the muck that you have created in your mind about who you think you are and what you ought to be then and only then will your mind be clear enough to allow you to use the knowledge that you posses for your betterment.

And that is the ultimate step to be truly HUMAN.

Being brave is called Innovation

Today I was reading an article related to innovative technology and innovation. Innovation word means advanced or improved. We all have some or other innovative ideas but

never speak about it. We all are scared that people might make fun of us.

Let’s go back to history; Newton saw an apple falling from a tree and thought about law of gravitation.

It is really a recognized strategy for dealing with a changing eanvironment. We always want to claim that we are different from the crowd but still we think about the crowd. Either we appreciate that person who come with great idea or just criticized him. Think why does it happen? There must be some reason why only some of us lead the front bench. And these people are called as innovative.

If we talk about the gaming industry most of them assure us that they have most innovative card room facility. But the end of the day they all are same except very handful people. In such a big industry only handful people who take the advantage of first-mover. They can let other people bear the cost of innovation before picking their moment to enter the market.

However, the biggest disadvantage facing this problem is unwillingness to fund development that could damage them as well as their business. More damage occurs when someone else come with that thing which you always want to come with. The speed of market change today is so fast but still those firms which watch and wait are unable to prove themself. So at the end of story what is essential of getting innovation? You should be brave and able to come with that with strong will power and courage.

Trees..

Trees are the only living object which can get anywhere except some dry & cold places. A tree provides us many things in day to day life without asking anything return from us. Trees take carbon dioxide (CO2) from air & release oxygen in air. Without oxygen no living organism can survive on the earth, so think how important trees in our life are.
All three basic needs like food, cloths & shelter is provided by trees & they don’t want anything return against that. Many types of medicines are made from various trees that means trees cures many diseases & saves our life. Trees are priceless thing in our life. Trees creates healthy, active & fresh environment & makes our life happy.
Trees increases proportion of raining & also control soil erosion of soil. Our daily food comes directly or indirectly from trees, various green vegetables we eat came only from tress.
Trees prevents flood & increases fertility of soil & also provides raw material to various industry. So save trees.
Without trees life just unthinkable! So from today start planting trees & take care of them as they did.

Concepts of thinking

If you think it means you are thinking around the subject that is called concepts. Most of the people always say to each other that your concepts are not clear. Concepts are a very important part of thinking. If you want to have a creative thinking you must able to handle the concepts. Most people in the world have very academic concepts. This is especially for the people who have hunger for practical and hands-on.

Concepts are the father of practical thoughts. If you can locate the parents in the family or a child then you can find the brother and sister or other relative also. In such a manner only understanding of concept will teach you about the person.

Take the example of a man who has complain that he had a problem with the person who drove into the town in morning and left their car parked on the road all the day. This meant that other person could not find any other place to park in order to visit the shops.

What is the concept behind it? The concept would be ‘to get money from people’s need to park’.

Other hand I have very common example of ‘food’. We always eat ‘food’. But do we actually think that we are not eating food. We eat chicken. We eat fish curry, bread and toast and all the things which are known by their name. We always eat some specific type of food and not ‘food’ in general. In such a way I can say ‘food’ is a concept. And whatever we eat that would be the practical idea behind the concept of food.

Alcohol good or bad???

Who decides is alcohol good or bad for health??? It’s you who decide whether it’s good for you or no. But in our society alcohol is considered as bad. But according to me everything in limit is good. But as soon as you cross your limit it starts showing its bad effects. Even government is trying to keep alcohol away from teenagers. But it’s really not working out. Yesterday I read an article according to a survey teens between 15 to 18 years have stared consuming more alcohol as compare to last five years. It’s really shocking news. Every person start drinking alcohol for fun but some time it’s not more fun it becomes addiction. Even I drink alcohol but I know when I should stop. That’s why I enjoy a lot. But many of us can’t figure it out where stop and finally it becomes addiction which is really bad. We should enjoy our drink that’s why we say “CHEERS”.

Benefits of Smoking....

It becomes so easy to interact with people once you start smoking or drinking as you are no longer a social outcast.

A lot of discussion can can take place over cigarette or alcohol.

When people are stress they feel like smoking which acts as a stress buster to them which is also pretty cheap.

You can also have variety as you need not stick to one particular brand.

If you wanna work for long hours it helps you stretch to the extreme.

Smoking basically builds your self-confidence, it helps to keep your morale high.

Also we can think in other ways wherein we are actually saving the environment. Smoking helps to make the earth more greener.

How...???

Cigratees are made up of Tobacco. So now just think the amount of oxygen a tobacco plant produces.

Smoking helps a person to die slowly. Wow thats so cool. Anyways who wants to die early.

And lets not forget how much amount of revenue smoking generates to any country's economy.

10 Christmas gift for kitchen lovers

Christmas a is originated from the word Christ’s Mass. It is a holiday season which last for twelve days. Popular modern customs of the holiday includes gift giving, music, an exchange of greeting cards, church celebrations, a special meal and the display of various decoration including charismas trees, lights, mistletoe etc. In addition Santa Claus is a popular figure associated with the brining of gifts for children.

Since gift giving is such as integral part of the festival, it becomes very difficult deciding what gifts to be purchased. I had a similar challenge while buying a gift for one of mu friend, especially because she is a kitchen lover and does not have much interest in any other activities. So to make the gift selection easier it shortlisted the items I can gift to a kitchen lover are microwave ,crockery set , cooking books, collection of spices, wine , chocolates , Designer and scented Candles, cake , x-mas tree ,food processor, dish washer etc

Therefore I suggest everybody should adopt the method of shortlisted the gifts as it makes very easy to decide what gifts to buy. So start because festival season is just around the corner.
