Say Sorry, My Son! Say Sorry… - રઇશ મનીઆર
આ ગીતની શરૂઆત (અને અંત પણ) ભલે Say Sorry, My Son! થી થતા હોય, પણ
ગીતનો હજુ પહેલો જ ફકરો વાંચી/સાંભળીને I am sorry, My Son! તમારા
હ્રદયમાંથી ન નીકળે તો જ નવાઇ..! ભલે તમારુ બાળક આ સ્થિતિમાંથી પસાર થયું
હોય કે નહીં, પણ દેશના ખૂણે ખૂણે બનતી આ રોજની ઘટના એક કવિના શબ્દોમાં
સાંભળી ક્યાંક કશેથી દાઝી ચોક્કસ જવાશે..! ............ ................

Art of SLEEPING
Sweet dreams are only part of the story
Like any extreme activity, it requires the nerves of steel, good choice of timing, location and the absence of suspicious cops. All this however is easier to achieve, because you are, well... asleep, so you can trust the unseen powers to take care of the rest. Long & restful sleep is by no means guaranteed, but perhaps somebody will take your picture and you'll wake up famous.

The largest flower in the world
Wow !!! This is Incredible !!! One of God's jewels that so many may never see,
just had to share.
The largest flower in the world was blossoming in Blanco, Veracruz, Mexico.
2 meters high and weighing 75 kilos, it has the peculiarity of blooming only
during three days every 40 years.
You'd only see it once or twice in a lifetime!
Shouldn't this qualify as the "8th Wonder of the World"?

Capsule Hotel, Netherlands: a hotel made out of a survival pod
Your own survival pod! Escape pod hotel in a city centre dock location. Moored in The Hague, your room is a bright orange survival pod which once saw service on an oil rig platform. Originally built in 1972 they are 4.25 metres in diameter and unaltered apart from the addition of a lock on the outside and an ‘emergency' chemical toilet inside. While not everyone's luxury choice, each pod provides cosy protection from the elements for up to three occupants.
First created for accommodation as an art project in 2004, owner Denis Oudendijk has 8 different models ready for use and is currently working on additional locations in central Amsterdam and Nantes, France.

Tree which has lived to be 5000 year-old
Tree which has lived to be 5000 year-old !
[ nature's wonders ]
Adansonia is a genus of eight species of tree, six native to Madagascar, one native to mainland Africa and the Arabian Peninsula and one to Australia. The mainland African species also occurs on Madagascar , but it is not a native of that island.
A typical common name is baobab. Other common names include boab, boaboa, bottle tree, upside-down tree, and monkey bread tree. The generic name honours Michel
Adanson, the French naturalist and explorer who described A. digitata.
Adansonias reach heights of 5 to 30 metres (16 to 98 ft) and have trunk diameters of 7 to 11 metres (23 to 36 ft). Glencoe baobab - an African baobab specimen in Limpopo Province, South Africa, often considered the largest example alive, up to recent times had a circumference of 47 metres (154 ft).[2] Its diameter is estimated at about 15.9 metres (52 ft). Recently the tree split up into two parts and it is possible that the stoutest tree now is Sunland baobab, also in
South Africa . The diameter of this tree is 10.64 m, with an approximate circumference of 33.4 metres.
Some baobabs are reputed to be many thousands of years old, which is difficult to verify, as the wood does not produce annual growth rings, though radiocarbon dating may be able to provide age
data.

Skywalking
Skywalking
is the newest and extremely risky photography fad to take the internet
by storm. It consists of a photographer (or photographers) making their
way to the top of very tall structures and clicking pictures which would
make a normal person’s stomach drop off. This trend is certainly not
for the faint-hearted. As it began on the Russian web, it is sometimes
referred to as “Russian Planking”. Russian teens pose or “skywalk”
hundreds of feet in the air with no safety equipment.
It
all began with Russian teenager Marat Dupri. The daredevil began
scaling buildings and other high-rise structures in Moscow in 2011. By
September of that year,
several of his photographers were featured on new sites , including the
Daily Meal and Metro UK. Busk, a Portuguese news site also showed
several photos of Russian teenagers imitating Dupri.
These pictures truly offer a glimpse of life on the edge.

Managing Change: Transforming a Hard Day into a Great One
- By Robin Sharma
(Author of The #1 Bestseller "The Leader Who Had No Title")
Last week, some smart soul on Twitter asked me to share my thoughts and strategies on turning a so-called "bad day" into a positive one. So he could show leadership versus victimhood. And focus on opportunities versus stay stuck on problems.
Excellent request. Ready to reply. Thank you for asking.
The first idea I'll suggest is that there's really no such thing as a "bad day".

HOLI - From Wiki-bhai
Significance
The word Holi originated from "Holika", sister of Hiranyakashipu. The festival of Holi is celebrated because of a story in the old Hindu religion. In Vaishnavism, Hiranyakashipu is the great king of demons, and he had been granted a boon by Brahma, which made it almost impossible for him to be killed. The boon was due to his long penance, after which he had demanded that he not be killed "during day or night; inside the home or outside, not on earth or in the sky; neither by a man nor an animal; neither by astra nor by shastra". Consequently, he grew arrogant and attacked the Heavens and the Earth. He demanded that people stop worshipping Gods and start praising respectfully to him.
