Rabindranath Tagore’s Descendants

During the course of our two most recent conference calls, we had some discussions, among various other issues, about Rabindranath’s children and his grandchildren. I have gathered some basic information on this topic, and for everyone’s ease of reference I furnish my findings below. Please note that this is by no means a scholarly article on the subject, but rather a compilation of some straightforward facts.

Rabindranath Tagore’s Birth and His Death

Rabindranath Tagore was born in Calcutta (Kolkata) in the ancestral home of the Tagores at 6 Dwarkanath Tagore Lane, Jorasanko on Tuesday, 7 May 1861 between 2.30 and 3.00 a.m.; corresponding to Monday, 25 Boishaakh 1268 Bengali Era.

Tagore was brought to Kolkata from Santiniketan for Medical treatment on 25 July 1941, and he remained in Kolkata for the last two weeks of his life. He dictated his last poem on 30 July 1941, and died at the age of 80 Years 3 Months in the family house at Jorasanko in Kolkata on Thursday, 7 August 1941, shortly after 12.00 noon; corresponding to Thursday, 22 Sraabon 1348 Bengali Era.

Rabindranath Tagore’s Wedding and His Wife’s Subsequent Death

Rabindranath was married at the age of 22 years 7 months, and his wife Bhabatarini Debi was about ten years of age at the time of their wedding; which took place in the ancestral house of the Tagore family at Jorasanko (not in the bride’s home) on 9 December 1883. Rabindranath’s father, his second brother Satyendranath Tagore and eldest sister Saudamini Debi were not present at the wedding. Saudamini Debi's husband Saradaprasad Gangopadhyay died on Rabindranath's wedding day.

Bhabatarini Debi was born in the year 1873 at Fultala, a village in the district of Jessore, in East Bengal (present day Bangladesh). Her father, Benimadhab Raychaudhuri, was a minor employee on the Tagore Estates. The name Bhabatarini was considered an old fashioned one by the members of the Tagore family, and consequently, her name was changed to Mrinalini Debi, which was suggested by Rabindranath’s eldest brother Dwijendranath Tagore (1840 – 1926).

Mrinalini Debi fell ill in the year 1902 while she was residing at Santiniketan. She was later brought to Calcutta for medical treatment but, the doctors could not diagnose her illness. Rathindranath Tagore later speculated that his mother had appendicitis. She remained unwell for three months, and eventually died on 23 November 1902 at the age of about 29 Years. Rabindranath was 41 years 6 months of age when his wife Mrinalini Debi died. After his wife's demise, Rabindranath never remarried.

Rabindranath Tagore’s Children

Rabindranath Tagore and Mrinalini Debi had five children - three daughters and two sons - and they were: Madhurilata Debi (Bela), Rathindranath Tagore (Rathi), Renuka Debi (Rani), Mira Debi (Atasi) and Samindranath Tagore (Sami). Three of Rabindranath's children died by the time he was 57 years old but, he did not adopt any other children.

Madhurilata Debi (Bela)

Rabindranath’s first child Madhurilata, who was his eldest daughter, was born on 25 October 1886. She was also known as Bela. Rabindranath sometimes mentioned her name as ‘Beli’ in his letters to his family members.

Madhurilata was married at the age of fifteen to Saratchandra Chakraborty (the third son of the poet Biharilal Chakraborty) in July(?), 1901. Madhurilata’s husband was a lawyer.

Madhurilata died of tuberculosis at her husband’s house in Calcutta on 16 May 1918 at the age of 31 years 6 months. She did not have any children.

Rathindranath Tagore (Rathi)

Rabindranath’s second child Rathindranath Tagore, who was his eldest son, was born on 27 November 1888. Rathindranath was married on 27 January 1910 to Pratima Debi. Pratima Debi was born in the year 1893. At the time of their marriage, Rathindranath was 21 years 2 months of age and Pratima Debi was about 17 years of age.

Pratima Debi was Gaganendranath and Abanindranath Tagore’s niece. (Her mother Binayini Debi was their sister). Before her marriage to Rathindranath, Pratima Debi had been married to Nilanath Mukhopadhyay but, was widowed later. Rathindranath and Pratima Debi’s marriage was the first instance of a widow marriage in the Tagore family.

Rathindranath and Pratima Debi did not have any children. However, they adopted a daughter called Nandini, who was born in the year 1922. Sometime after Tagore’s death, Rathindranath and Pratima debi separated.

Rathindranath was the Vice Chancellor of Visva-Bharati University from 14 May 1951 till 22 August 1953. He died in Dehradun on 3 June 1961 at the age of 72 years 6 months. Pratima Debi died in the year 1969 when she was about 76 years old.

Renuka Debi (Rani)

Rabindranath’s third child Renuka, who was his second daughter, was born on 23 January 1891. She was also known as Rani. She was married to Satyendranath Bhattacharya in August(?) 1901, about one and a half months after her elder sister Madhurilata got married. At the time of her wedding, Renuka was about 10 years 6 months of age. She died of tuberculosis in mid-September 1903 when she was about 12 years 7 months of age. Renuka did not have any children.

Mira Debi (Atasi)

Rabindranath’s fourth child Mira Debi, who was his third and youngest daughter, was born on 12 January 1894. She was also called Atasi. Mira Debi was married on 6 June 1907 at the age of 13 years 4 months to Nagendranath Gangopadhyay. They separated in the 1920s. Mira Debi died at Santiniketan in the year 1969 at the age of about 75.

Mira Debi and Nagendranath had two children – a son named Nitindranath (Nitu) and a daughter named Nandita (Buri).

Samindranath Tagore (Sami)

Rabindranath’s fifth child Samindranath, who was his second and youngest son, was born on12 December 1896. He was also called Sami. Less than six months after Mira Debi’s wedding, while Samindranath was visiting a friend at Munger in the state of Bihar, he suddenly died of cholera on 23 November 1907, the day his mother Mrinalini Debi died five years before. At the time of his death, Samindranath was 10 years 11 months of age.

Rabindranath Tagore’s grandchildren

Rabindranath had three grandchildren – one grandson and two granddaughters – and they were Nitindranath, Nandita and Nandini.

Nitindranath Tagore (Gangopadhyay) [Nitu]

Mira debi’s only son, and Rabindranath’s only grandson, Nitindranath was born in the year 1912. He was also called Nitu. While he had been residing in Germany for higher studies, he died of tuberculosis on 7 August 1932 at the age of 20. Nitindranath was not married. At the time of Nitindra’s death Rabindranath was 71 years of age.

Nandita Kripalani (Buri)

Mira Debi’s only daughter Nandita was born in 1916. She was also known as Buri. She was married to Krishna Kripalani (1907 – 1992). They did not have any children. Nandita died in 1967 at the age of 51.

Nandini Tagore

Rathindranath and Pratima Debi’s adopted daughter Nandini was born in 1922. She was married on 30 January 1939. (I do not have any more information about her).

Conclusion

From the information presented above we see that only two of Rabindranath Tagore’s children – his son Rathindranath and daughter Mira Debi – and two of his granddaughters, Nandita (Mira Debi’s daughter) and Nandini (Rathindranath’s adopted daughter), outlived him, and it is sad to note that no direct descendant of Rabindranath is alive any more.

NB:

1. If anyone has any more information about Rathindranath’s adopted daughter Nandini, for example, to whom did she get married, whether she is still alive, if not then when did she die, did she have any children, and what were their names etc.; then please enlighten us all.

2. If anyone notices any factual errors in this article, please provide the correct information, mentioning the sources. Please do not ignore any mistakes.

3. I could not find the exact dates of some of the events, and in such cases I have indicated only the years when those incidents happened. If anyone knows the exact dates, please share those information with everyone.

Why the fairer sex is also the tougher one: Women have superior systems to men

2012-09-05T18:59:00.002+05:30

Why the fairer sex is also the tougher one: Women have superior systems to men

For centuries they’ve been labeled as the weaker sex.

But when it comes to the battlefield of illness and infections, women are far more robust than their male counterparts.

For it appears Mother Nature has given women a superior immune system, enabling them to fend off germs that leave men struggling to cope.

Feeling fit: Women may be called the fairer sex but in fact they have much more robust immune systems

According to a study, the fairer sex is genetically programmed to better resist infections and cancer, and also has a back-up system for fighting disease.

The discovery also suggests that males who regularly complain of ‘man-flu’ may not be exaggerating after all.

The secret to women’s stronger immunity lies in a key biological difference between the sexes. Women have an extra copy of the female X-chromosome, while men have only one and a much smaller Y-chromosome.

This means women have greater access to molecules called microRNAs, which are encoded on the X-chromosome. These tiny strains of ribonucleic acid are regarded as major regulators of the immune system.

Dr Claude Libert, from Ghent University in Belgium, led the research which drew up a detailed map of all the microRNAs in X-chromosomes found to have a role in immune functions and cancer.

He said: ‘Statistics show that in humans, as with other mammals, females live longer than males and are more able to fight off shock episodes from sepsis, infection or trauma.

‘We believe this is due to the X-chromosome, which in humans contains ten per cent of all microRNAs detected so far in the genetic code.’ Several of these are thought to have ‘important functions in immunity and cancer’, he said.

Dr Eleanor Fish, professor of women’s health and immunobiology at the University of Toronto, said of the findings in the BioEssays journal: ‘The advantages of having two X-chromosomes as opposed to an X- and a Y-chromosome are huge.

‘MicroRNAs are very important for regulating proteins that would influence cell growth and cancer, and the immune response.

‘They can suppress proteins that promote cancer and boost proteins that do the opposite.’

If women develop a mutation on a gene linked to the immune system on the X-chromosome, they have a backup copy. But men do not.

From a biological point of view, she added, the difference has probably evolved because women are more likely to ensure the survival of a species.

They need to be able to resist infection when pregnant and when nurturing the child. ‘You don’t need many men to keep the human race going but you need females,’ she said.

However, there is a downside to a woman’s super immunity, said Dr Fish: ‘It favors resistance to infection with a more robust immune response but once you have got infection then it can result in a more severe inflammatory response.

‘This means women are more likely to develop autoimmune diseases and they may suffer flu more badly than men.’

"The Doctor Who Was In A Hurry"

2012-08-30T11:19:00.000+05:30

This is shared by one of my best friend….really touchy and have lot to learn from it

Greetings to you this Morning……

"The Doctor Who Was In A Hurry"

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy's mother going and coming in the hall waiting for the doctor. On seeing him, the mother yelled:

"Why did you take all this time to come? Don't you know that my son's life is in danger? Don't you have the sense ...of ...responsibility?"

The doctor smiled and said:

"I am sorry, I wasn't in the hospital and I came the fastest I could after receiving the call…… And now, I wish you'd calm down so that I can do my work"

"Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??" said the mother angrily.

The doctor smiled again and replied: "I will say what Job said in the Holy Book "From dust we came and to dust we return, blessed be the name of God". Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go and intercede for your son, we will do our best by God's grace"

"Giving advice when we're not concerned is so easy" Murmured the mother.

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy, "Thank goodness!, your son is saved!" And without waiting for the mother's reply he carried on his way running. "If you have any question, ask the nurse!!"

"Why is he so arrogant? He couldn't wait some minutes so that I ask about my son's state" Commented the mother when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: "His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for your son's surgery. And now that he saved your son's life, he left running to finish his son's burial."

Moral:- Never Judge Anyone Because You never know how their life is & what they're going through!

NASA's amazing new view of Mars

Date : Tue, 2012-07-10 12:11

The US space agency NASA has recently pieced together a panoramic view from the camera on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity, calling it the "next best thing to being" on the Red Planet.

This image mosaic taken by the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit's panoramic camera shows a new slice of martian real estate southwest of the rover's landing site. The landscape shows little variation in local topography, though a narrow peak only seven to eight kilometres away is visible on the horizon. A circular depression, similar to the one dubbed Sleepy Hollow, can be seen in the foreground. Compared to the Viking and Pathfinder landing sites, the terrain at Gusev Crater, Spirit's landing site, is flat and speckled with a sparse array of rocks. The picture was released by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California Janaury 10, 2004.

A portion of the west rim of Endeavour crater sweeps southward in this color view from NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity released by NASA August 10, 2011. This crater has a diameter of about 14 miles (22 km). This view combines exposures taken by Opportunity's panoramic camera (Pancam) of the rover's work on Mars August 6, 2011. Opportunity arrived at the rim during its next drive on August 9, 2011. Endeavour crater has been the rover team's destination for Opportunity since the rover finished exploring Victoria crater in August 2008. Endeavour offers access to older geological deposits than any Opportunity has seen before. The lighter-toned rocks closer to the rover in this view are similar to the rocks Opportunity has driven over for most of the mission. However, the darker-toned and rougher rocks just beyond that might be a different type for Opportunity to investigate. The ground in the foreground is covered with iron-rich spherules, nicknamed "blueberries," which Opportunity has observed frequently since the first days after landing. They are about 0.2 inch (5 millimeters) or more in diameter. REUTERS/NASA/JPL-Caltech/Cornell/ASU/Handout (UNITED STATES - Tags: SCI TECH) FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY.

29 life lessons learned in travelling the world for 8 years straight

2012-08-18T19:18:00.000+05:30

29 life lessons learned in travelling the world for 8 years straight

Eight years. That’s 416 weeks, or almost 3,000 days. This is the amount of time that I have not had a fixed home; moving to a new country, culture and language every few months and taking absolutely everything I own with me. It has been a significant percentage of my life, and it’s still long from over.

I had actually done some travelling before - a couple of summers in the states, and an entire month already in Spain. But about this time back in 2003, on the week of my 21st birthday, I left Ireland for good. I had graduated university a few days before, and knew that I’d only be coming back “home” for visits (I’ve never once missed the family Christmas dinner). But it’s not really my home any more. Since then, “wherever I lay my hat, that’s my home”.

After devoting my life to them, university and schools had taught me nothing of any real importance. I had gone through as many books as I could and thought I knew it all, but the fact of the matter is that I have become the person I was meant to be in the last 4/5 of a decade, while on the road. And I certainly still have a lot left to learn.

[Edit: People keep asking me how I can afford a travel lifestyle for so long, or if I'm rich or if my parents paid for everything. I paid for the entire trip myself, starting with no moneysaved up; I can assure you my lifestyle is way cheaper than most settled people who prove observation #10 and need so much money to buy rubbish!

You don't need to be rich to travel the world. To find out more about me and my story, please read my site's About page to see a list of the many jobs I've had during my travels. For just the last one year I've been earning money by helping people to hack languages quicker.]

Since yesterday was my 29th birthday and this week is my 8 year “travelversary”, I thought it fitting to share 29 of these revelations with you of things that I have learned on this journey. Many of them are about life in general, but these are actually my observations after meetingmany people from all over the world:

1. Everyone everywhere basically wants the same thing

Vastly different as the world’s cultures are, if you speak to Italian millionaires, homeless Brazilians, Dutch fishermen and Filipino computer programmers, in their own languages, you start to see that we are all incredibly alike where it matters.

Everyone just wants validation, love, security, enjoyment and hopes for a better future. The way they verbalise this and work towards it is where things branch off, but we all have the same basic desires. You can relate to everyone in the world if you look past the superficial things that separate you.

2. Deferring your happiness to the future is a terrible idea

Too many people presume that when they have that one thing they can work towards for yearsthen “everything will be alright”.

This is delusional.

When you get it, there’ll be something else missing in your life. I fundamentally believe that long-term pure happiness from one particular situation or achievement is a pipe-dream, but we can learn to be content with what we have, live in the now, all while enjoying the progress and changes we are making.

If your whole life is working up towards one really big major goal that you hold on to for years, then you will have a major anticlimax after the dust settles. Work towards it, but stop deferring your happiness.

Get there slower and enjoy the ride. I like how it is portrayed in this video:

Enjoy the show, and don’t wait for the finale. A song I really like (in Spanish) reminds me thatthe present really is all we have.

3. “Someday my ship will come in” is bullshit. You will NEVER win the lottery. Be practical.

People seem to have a strange concept of how luck works and how the universe/some diety/karma/their lucky shoe or how “they deserve it” will mean that things will eventually fall into place for them. You are “due” to win the lottery or will get swept away by prince charmingany day now. “You deserve it” (as if others don’t).

This is a misunderstanding of how the world actually works. Perhaps I’m wrong and praying or hoping that it will all work out, or generally being a nice person is what really “does the trick”, but why not actually get off your ass and do something tangible too while you’re at it.

I personally don’t believe in magic or fairies or astrology or sky wizards or large-scale invisible inexplicable forces at work on petty daily activities of humans. I’m sceptical about such things, and believe they are all impossible/ridiculous, and knowledge of this has enriched my life. As apractical person, I see the world as a very logical place with physical and social rules and understanding this has helped me live well in it.

The universe owes you nothing, you owe it to yourself to be the master of where your life ends up.

4. There’s no such thing as destiny. This is excellent news!

Destiny is used as a cop-out and standard excuse by most people for why they don’t do something with their lives. The thing is, it doesn’t exist.

Your limitations are not set by who you know, where you were born, what genes you have, how much money you have, how old you are right now, what you did before or other things that you can claim are your stamp of failure for life.

If you are determined enough there is a shitload of opportunities in life that are totally achievable with minimal cash, regardless of who you are.

5. Seek out people with different beliefs and views of the world to yours and get to know their side of the story

As you can probably guess from #3, I have some beliefs about the world that don’t jive with a lot of people’s. However, a lot of people get their meaning in life from believing in things I don’t. If everyone thought like me, the world would be a very boring place.

So when I meet someone with a very different belief system to mine, it’s better to get along than to try to “convert” them. This is as true for how the world works as it is for language learning methods, fashion, movie tastes etc.

When someone is sure about something and has believed it for many many years, then you cannot convince them with a few cleverly picked words. Everyone is closed minded about something, including me. They have to discover it themselves over time or just continue believing what they do. Don’t take responsibility for convincing the world you are right. It’s important to acknowledge that maybe you are actually the wrong one.

The world is much more fun with people of varying interests and beliefs. Despite my scepticism, in my travels I have hung out with astrologists, palm readers, very religious folk, conservatives, and people who hate technology. And my life and experiences are enriched so much because of it.

Spending time exclusively with people who agree with you on everything would never challenge you and allow you to learn so much more.

6. Living a good life is the best way possible to convince people

Enough words and enough arguing. Just live by example and soon you’ll have people on your side when they see your results and how passionate you are. No need to “convince” them. Just show them that you are there, tell them how you got there, and they will start to realise that maybe you aren’t that crazy after all.

7. Nobody has it all figured out

Almost everyone has problems and puts on a brave face - don’t presume they have it easy. You see of each person what they let you see. You have no idea what they are going through or what they had to put up with to be in a situation that you can consider “easy”.

This is universal - millionaires, students, the cool kid, the party animal, the introvert and everyone in between has more to their story than the superficial restricted one you see. Never dismiss them as having it easy if you don’t know the entire story.

8. There’s no shame in saying “I don’t know”

There is a stigma in some cultures to admit ignorance about a particular topic. Don’t dance around the issue - just say I don’t know. Honesty is way smarter.

9. More money will NEVER solve your problems

As long as you are not living in the street or going hungry, then you do not “need” more money. When you spend enough time with people who are actually living on next to nothing, but having a full life, then you will truly understand this. Everything that is wonderful about life doesn’t cost a penny, and the rest is way cheaper than you think it is.

10. Possessions own you

Look at the real reason you want to buy more expensive crap and realise that it all comes down to validation from others in one way or another. You don’t really need any of it unless it’s directly related to essentials in how you work or survive.

The need to buy new crap dictates your life - it fixes you in one location with that house and furniture, and it governs how much money you need to earn. And it almost never actually enriches your life in any way. The less you own the better.

11. TV is the greatest black hole of time available to mankind

I wasted so much of my life before age 21 spending 3-4 hours a day watching TV. Following shows that I “had” to see, in order to “relax”. I regret almost every second of it. The whole world was passing me by outside.

TV was an important part of the 20st century, bringing communication and news to the masses, but now it’s wasteful. People get biased news through it, when much better alternatives are available, watch terrible TV shows through it that teach them nothing, and it sucks so many hours of their lives away that they seem to forget about when they delude themselves into thinking that they don’t have time to pursue real passions in life.

TVs encourage people to be antisocial. The only TVs you should be watching are someone else’s - go to your friend’s house to share a series you like if you must, or go to the bar with your mates to watch sports. Your life will not be enriched by sitting at home watching a screen with zero interactivity to it.

12. The Internet is the greatest tool ever available to us, but daily use must be capped

Unlike TVs, the Internet is interactive and allows you to take part and become virtually social. It connects communities all over the world and without it, the last 8 years simply would have been much more difficult for me for many reasons.

Having said that, it has the same potential as TV to become a black hole of time. Use it to enrich your life, but put a cap on how much you use it so you can get out and live that life. Replacing one screen with another (even when you use it to chat to people) is just escaping the real world, which is much more beautiful.

13. Get outside and do something with other people

My favourite website in the world is Couchsurfing.org, precisely because I spend so little time on it. It has simplified my travel life tremendously by allowing me to host people to maintain my languages, and to search it for interesting people to meet up with.

The world that is worth experiencing is not in books or on TV or computer screens. It’s with other human beings. Stop being shy and get out and meet them!

14. Speaking only English is incredibly limiting to non-tourist travellers

If you are visiting a country for a weekend, then you can check into your hotel and order food in an expensive restaurant and get a guided tour in English. You can even make local university educated friends, and successfully create a bubble to protect you from the local language for as long as you like, and delude yourself into thinking that this is the way things are.

But you will never truly experience the local culture if you limit yourself to being able to interact on a deep level just the well educated part of it. English-speaking travellers miss out on so much - not speaking English has defined most of my travels and the amazing experiences I have had would have been impossible if I didn’t try to learn the local languages.

ANYONE can learn a language. When I was 21 I thought I couldn’t do it, but one day I put all the bullshit excuses to one side and just spoke it. Speaking a language from day one is the ‘secret’ to being able to learn it quicker and at any age.

15. Modern foreign culture does not have to satisfy your stereotypes

Every country in the world is modernising but this does not mean that they are westernising or Americanising. What makes them unique does not have to satisfy your “quaint” tourist-brochure view of them. Leave ignorant stereotypes aside and have an open mind about how modern life is like in that culture.

Not all Irish people drink, not all Brazilians samba and play football, and Germans, Dutch,Filipinos and everyone else will surprise you if you leave your presumptions about them at the airport.

Respect the differences, try to adapt to them yourself and realise that to them you might seem backwards in many ways.

16. Take your time

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from living in countries that are more “easy going” it’s that they are way wiser than the rest of us in their pace of life. People and countries that do everything quicker also do it worse. Take it easy and go slowly.

Enjoy every bite of food, walk at a slow pace and take in your surroundings, let the other person finish their side of the conversation while you listen attentively, and stop in the middle of your day, close your eyes or look at nature and become aware of your breathing.

17. You can’t please everyone

“I don’t know the secret to success, but the secret to failure is trying to please everyone” - Bill Cosby.

State your opinion and stick to your guns. If you are confident enough and share your idea with enough people, you will piss off someone no matter what you talk about. That’s their problem, not yours.

18. Trying to be cool or following trends is for mindless sheep

Peer pressure is for people who are afraid of their individuality. Stand up for yourself, and go against the flow if that’s what you feel is best. What’s cool now will be frozen over in a few years.

19. Make mistakes - and LOTS of them!

Mistakes are how we learn. Failures are the stepping stones to success.

20. Wear sunscreen

Seriously. Protect your skin. Follow that and all other advice in this video:

21. Stop thinking so much and act

People think their way out of doing everything that’s worth doing in life. The reason I feel I’m getting so much done in the last years is precisely because of how much time I give to over-analysing whether I should do something important or not: None.

22. Dance and sing whenever possible

Dancing and singing are great releases and forms of expression. It’s hard not to feel good after a session of either!

23. Making new friends is easy and so is appreciating your current ones

My entire eight years travel has been alone. I arrive in a new nation without a single friend waiting for me in many cases. I have no connections, but I make them anyway. I find a party online and go straight to it and say hi to everyone. Soon, if I try enthusiastically enough, I’ll find people I can socialise with on a regular basis.

If you are friendly, genuine and charming, making friends with people from every culture and background is possible.

When people who are surrounded by family, networks, work and school colleagues, other friends, clubs and communities they are a part of… tell me that it’s hard to meet new people I feel like slapping them in the face to wake them up to the opportunities around them, which I haven’t had consistently for almost a decade. Look around you!

24. You don’t know what you’ve got ’till its gone

Don’t take anything for granted. I couldn’t afford to pay for accommodation one night and had to sleep outside on a rock because of it. Ever since then I appreciate having a bed, couch or hammock, no matter how small or where it may be, because I know what it’s like to not have one. One night was enough to burn it into me - I sigh a breath of relief every time I go to bed now.

I went partially deaf due to an ear infection for two weeks and appreciate my hearing and all the beautiful sounds around me all the more because I got it back. I also gained an appreciation forsigned communication that I’d take advantage of several years later.

I’ve never lost anyone close to me, but I hug my family members and tell them I love them every chance I get, and clear any bad air with friends and don’t hold back on sharing my emotions with them. Life is too short - if I lost anything important to me then I want to make sure that I never wasted the time I did have with it or with him or her.

25. Swallow your pride and apologise

Never hold a grudge and never try to win every argument. Sometimes it’s best to let your pride slide for the sake of clearing the air with someone. Be the first to say you’re sorry. Never wait for the other person to make the first move.

26. Doing anything specifically to impress people is stupid

People will never give you the validation you seek if you try to be a dancing monkey for them. Saying how many languages you speak, how rich you are, who you know, where you studied or what you do for a living, or trying to show-off in any other way to get someone to like you, or working for these things just for the bragging rights will leave you really disappointed.

People are impressed by those who aren’t trying to impress them and are comfortable in themselves and social and interesting. Sometimes to be “interesting” all you have to do is be a good listener.

27. People are not alone in being alone

One of the most frequent questions I get asked as a long-term solo traveller is if I feel lonely. The short answer is no. The long answer would require an entire post in itself.

But the fact of the matter is that loneliness is much more common around the world than I previously thought it was. I was actually much more lonely in my university (fixed) life than I am now. And I meet many people who have vast networks of social groups who feel desperately lonely because they feel nobody gets them.

Then others who simply changed their lifestyle in some way (not necessarily by travel, but perhaps marriage or starting a demanding job) and have lost contact with all their childhood friends because of it, also feel lonely.

I’ve talked to many people who are convinced they are the only ones who feel this way. Each time I hear a similar story I can hear the Police in my head “seems I’m not alone in being alone…” Believe it or not I find this very comforting when I am genuinely separated by thousands of kilometres from anyone who even knows what my name is. Even though nobody is in exactly the same situation, the amount of people in the world I’ve met tells me that I’m very likely not the only one in such a situation, even at that very second.

No matter how lonely you might feel, there is always someone who can relate to you. Perhaps you can’t talk to them right now, but they are out there.

28. Love isn’t “all” you need, but if you don’t have it in some form, your life will be very empty

We don’t need love to survive, but without it there will be a huge hole inside you. Make sure that every day you have someone (family, friends, lover) to remind you that you are special. If you postpone this part of your life until later, after you get or do that thing you want to do, you will continue in that lonely path indefinitely.

29. The most important lessons in life can never be expressed in black and white, but must be experienced

I thought I knew it all back in university - and that everything of importance can be found in books. But the truth is that the most important things in life are very hard to put in black and white, including what I’ve said in this post.

When most of the world’s information is at our fingertips, a mouseclick away, it makes it feel like we don’t need to experience any more. Movies, books, or “living vicariously through someone else” means we can apparently get the general gist of anything.

This is false. Experience is the greatest teacher of all. Stop reading about or watching the world passively and start living it.

PRESS - NOTE

Released by Shri Dattatreya Hosabale, Sahsarkaryavah (Joint Gen. Secretary)
of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (R.S.S.) at a Press Conference at Guwahati
on 16 August, 2012.
______________________________

______________________________

The tragic circumstance under which Assam is passing through is a matter of grave concern for all countrymen. The RSS expresses its deep anguish over the pain, sufferings and losses faced by the people of Assam in the recent outburst of violence in Bodoland Territorial Area District (BTAD) and Dhubri. The fact that a large number of people have been killed, many are injured and lakhs have been rendered homeless due to loot and arson shows that the situation is alarming. It is an irony that people have to live in refugee camps in their own country because of hostilities from foreigners.

The RSS also is pained to know that a large number of students and young employees of NE states in several parts of our country are returning to Assam and other North-eastern states in an atmosphere of fear and threat.

The present situation in Assam that erupted on 20 July is not an isolated or sudden one, but it is another episode in the series of such violent incidents took place earlier. There have been skirmishes and conflicts leading to wide spread violence in the past due to a large presence of illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators.

Tensions between Bangladeshi Muslim and local communities have prevailed in the region for many years now. In this context, we can quote several incidents, the Idgah incident at Fakiragram being the recent one, or the Udalguri violence four years back. The ever increasing number of Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators has not only disturbed peace and amity in the region but created socio-economic and political problems also. The people of Assam and other NE states are well aware of this as they are experiencing it. Time and again, various organisations have raised the issue of Bangladeshi infiltration and demanded from the Govts-both state and union-to put a halt to this vexed problem. At the national level RSS and many others have also been voicing the same opinion for last three decades. But unfortunately, these demands have met with no tangible solution.

It has been the considered opinion of RSS on the basis of ground realities that the frequent outburst of violence is due to this conflict between the Indian citizens of Assam /NE and the illegal infiltrators.

The recent violent incidents in Mumbai point to the fact that the situation has taken alarming proportion and different dimension. The Mumbai incident and also the attack on students at Pune deserve to be condemned by all. Such violent eruptions have been witnessed at Ranchi also. Considering these developments, there appears to be a larger conspiracy to create tension and spread violence in other parts of the nation. It is for all to see that the situation is kept under control.

There is a complaint by visitors that many people in the relief camps where Muslims are taking shelter, are not coming from the villages which have faced violence. I demand the Govt. authorities to enquire into this and take necessary steps as per the situation.

The swayamsevaks of RSS, and organisations inspired by the Sangh, have rushed to the relief work soon after the violence erupted. Our Swayamsevaks are rendering succor to the affected people in the Bodo areas. They are working in more than 60 camps, providing food provisions, cooked food, medicine, cloths, utensils and other needs. Teams of Medical Doctors from Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh visited the area for three weeks and rendered medical aid. More works of relief and rehabilitation are being contemplated.

Workers of RSS have met NE students and others at Pune, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kerala, Hyderabad, Delhi etc. and offered all help for their safety and security. Also, they have announced help line nos. Food and security have been provided enroute by Sangh, ABVP, BJP and others to these youth who are travelling by trains to Assam.

The current problem is the result of the tension between the local communities who are genuine citizens of the nation and the Bangladeshi Muslims who are illegal migrants. The RSS demands from the Govt to implement all effective steps immediately to curb the infiltration from Bangladesh and to detect them here, delete their names (from electoral lists), and to deport back in order to put a permanent halt to this problem. Also, the National Register of Citizens (NRC) should be prepared without further delay and non-citizens should be treated accordingly.

The RSS appeals to the general public of NE and also throughout the country to maintain total peace and amity by all efforts. It is extremely necessary to keep vigil that nobody misuses the situation and no tension or provocation is created in any part of the country.

The RSS also assures all help, safety and security to our brethren of Assam & other NE States living or studying in other parts of the country. We appeal to them not to panic; however, we appeal to them to contact local RSS or ABVP offices at any place for any help. The people of Assam and NE are not alone but the entire country is with them at this hour of distress.

HOROSCOPE AUGUST 17 2012_*

2012-08-17T09:26:00.001+05:30

You are filled with confidence to succeed at whatever challenge or project comes to your attention. Make sure both your expectations and abilities match the task. In the future you will be able to stretch beyond the usual; for now, pace yourself. You may expend an excessive amount of worry about your monetary position--frequently being thrifty in expenditures. You have a desire to free yourself from any limitations you may be feeling and you are persistent in your search for ways to upgrade or improve your talents and your options. There are opportunities to gain new information about a new business venture with a good chance to increase your earnings. Sudden correspondence with a distant friend may occur this afternoon.

You think things through and make clear choices when it comes to your professional life. Career decisions are straightforward and easy to make. Positive things are happening in your career and the progress here may depend upon your own ambition. Away from the working world, you may desire more privacy, especially for the purpose of introspection, meditation and tapping the subconscious mind. You may be concerned with psychology and be more sympathetic toward those in need. You could find that hospitals, prisons or ashrams present opportunities for you to express your healing talent. Your love of humanity will afford you plenty of opportunities to involve yourself in making the world a better place . . . others will follow.

You will most likely be full of enthusiasm at this time and ready to conquer the world. You may take care to regulate your expectations for success at this time. Your nature will most likely be very watchful, as you take a serious attitude to just about all aspects of your life. This is an excellent time to sit down alone and get many things accomplished. You display an urge to be recognized by co-workers for your hard work. There is a possibility that your work as a whole will come under scrutiny and you work to improve and upgrade whatever is needed to see that your profession is secure. This afternoon is a favorable time to work with friends or a family member on a project. You may get to know them a lot better without even really trying.

You are apt to enjoy considerable success at work these days. This is a good time to work on a project of a large or complicated manner, though you should be cautious of trying to take total control of some large enterprise that actually requires the aid and input of others. You may experience a change in the workplace that could entail getting a new boss, new co-workers or embarking on a totally different project. Be especially careful in any business dealings or purchases that may cause you to go into debt. You show a great deal of interest in all family matters, particularly with regard to the general living environment in the home. Try to be yourself in all your interactions with loved ones. Love blossoms during this time.

You are able to sway others to a new kind of thinking today. Many times new ideas are not accepted very well but you have a way of reasoning through the steps that when learned, will get the worker to the end result faster and neater. The learning curve here is very small. You are very motivated to improve the professional side of your life. You may even decide it is time for a change. A career that allows you to enrich others will allow you to grow. Your ability to perceive other's thoughts and feelings may bring you unexpected rewards. You have a lot of zeal for improving your life situations. The power of attraction and desire for love is great, but you should exercise caution before entering a new relationship that may come about during this time.

You tend to be calm and secure in your emotional relationships these days--you have many friends. You can extend yourself socially to old friends and new associates. Formal occasions, receptions and business gatherings can be enjoyable at this time. It is a good time to plan and organize joint projects. Your dreams or ideals can now begin to take practical form and application. Old situations are fading away and new opportunities present themselves. With self-respect and realism, you can be supportive of others and begin to achieve concrete results. Your neighborhood involvement can make considerable progress at this time. Your vision and psychological insight can be inspiring and therapeutic to yourself and others.

Formal occasions, receptions and business gatherings can be enjoyable at this time. You make a game out of planning and organizing and couldn't be happier to see projects and events run smoothly. New business opportunities present themselves and you are given the opportunity to make some smart choices. Choose the projects that make you happy, not what you think someone else wants you to choose. As you achieve and succeed, you will come away with the invisible star of satisfaction in a job well done. You can extend yourself socially to old friends and new associates. Your vision and psychological insight can be therapeutic to yourself and others. Your intuitive and imaginative powers are stimulated and you are inspiring.

You combine inspiration and courage with ambition and self-control. Mental discipline and patience are important in the work you are involved with now. You can accomplish much toward your goals through careful, hard work. Many people in positions of control will help you with your advancement in the workplace. You are successful in what you do and management wants you to continue to grow. You can make progress in managerial and administrative areas. You can expand your experiences and personal growth at this time. Your faith and optimism helps you gain the goodwill and favor of others. Business, professional, financial, legal, religious and educational matters are all favorable endeavors at this time.

You can enjoy music, parties and fun, or romance and good relations with others today. Your vitality and charm makes you popular with everyone. It is a favorable time for social activities and improving your appearance. Your imagination is stimulated and your healing ability is strong. You may accept an out-of-the-ordinary employment opportunity today and encounter delightfully interesting people: artists, actors, healers, visionaries. Apply your mental thought to creatively solving complex problems. Change and inner growth tend to come through your relationships with both friends and loved ones this evening. Marriage or a love relationship will be very intense and not at all superficial. Someone shows appreciation for you today.

This is a time when your moods may fluctuate as much as the weather. You may be a little biased but you are able to express your feelings to others in positive ways. This is a good time to step back, reflect on the past and contemplate your next step. Try to assert yourself now--as new ventures will likely prove successful. You are apt to spend a great deal of time communicating with co-workers and people apart from work. Additionally, you may find it propitious to voice new ideas to others in hopes of winning them over. Now is a good time to do those things that you have previously put aside, whether from fear of failure or lack of motivation. New outlets for growth and success should appear soon. This is a most favorable time to plan and set new goals.

You may need to expend a great deal of effort to secure finances. This may come about through associations you have with people in important positions. Many projects come to fruition just now, especially large ones. You should resist cutting corners, just to finish a work project. You may also experience a sudden shift in the routine of work today. If your work requires you to travel at this time, consider packing a sweater and some running shoes with extra socks. There could be added effort put into domestic happiness just now; all is positive, although it may not be that easy to see at this time. Entertaining family is a good thing. You are successful in fostering a sense of togetherness and team play among family members.

Your cooperation with others, especially co-workers, will not go unnoticed by higher-ups today. You are curious and talkative and find it easy to uncover solutions to most work problems. Sudden loss in business may occur through no fault of your own. However, this period can also indicate a time when you may increase finances through unexpected boons. Additional responsibilities may be placed on you in the context of the home setting today. Opening up to family shows trust and gives others an opportunity to communicate; there is good emotional support. Your creative juices are flowing. You can best apply them by working on anything around your home that is in need of repair. Save all instructions that come with new appliances.

2012-08-16T14:59:00.001+05:30

You are a solid supporter of others, especially when you can easily see that others are on the right path. You will help, if called upon to do so, but your energy level could seem a bit low just now. Once you decide to attack a problem--others had better step aside. You have a stick-to-itiveness that often finds you in the thick of things. You may have time to investigate ways in which to improve your working position this afternoon. It could be a good time to dare to be a little unconventional. You will prosper through new insights, inventions and an independent point of view. Your career could open up by taking the road less traveled--new approaches. This time is a time of feeling more sure of yourself and confident with your decisions.

Today is a great day to shine when it comes to practical matters and work-related affairs. Events may line up in your favor and push you over the top to new heights of accomplishments. A promotion or recognition for accomplishments could be forthcoming. Your mind may be very clear now and your thoughts brought to a sharp focus. It is easy to organize your thoughts and communication of all kinds is furthered. Some new piece of equipment or method of working is available for your testing--a new vehicle, a computer, message equipment, etc. There is a lot of enthusiasm to dive into any sort of project you want to do now. There are opportunities to explore a country fruit stand this afternoon or perhaps a new restaurant with a loved one.

A person to whom you are close is likely to be riding an emotional whirlwind. It is imperative for you to keep a perspective where such things are concerned. Your psychic or intuitive abilities are heightened. You may sense and feel things that others do not. It is not a time when you are at your most practical. Enjoy a little time alone before making any heavy-duty decisions just now. Where business is concerned, it might be wise to stay grounded or focused as much as possible by taking your regular breaks and setting aside some time for a little exercise--perhaps during the noon break. You have great staying power and you will find the afternoon much more productive. You are very dependable and stable. Whistle a happy tune!

Fate sends opportunity your way--especially if you listen to your instincts. Travel and education can help uncover some of the answers that will give you the power or advantage you seek: do not cut yourself off from such experiences. Mass communication can be financially rewarding in some ways--think about advertising, broadcasting or publishing. This is a great time to be with others and to work together. You may be sought after as just the person for a particular job. Your management and directional abilities are in high focus. Close personal ties to other people are a focal point for your feelings--marriage and other partnerships could be a key arena for this. A change of residence may soon be made in order to take advantage of new career opportunities.

This is a day for practical decisions--no fast moves for you just now. Solving the problems of difficult customers seems to be your cup of tea--at least for today! You may be able to stop a situation from repeating itself with a suggestion in writing to some higher-up today or tomorrow. You have clear vision into your own inner sense of how you appreciate and love. This is a good time to examine and think about what is of lasting value. You are a mentor to many--keep up the good work. Make this a green evening--perhaps for healing and composure after a tough day. Surround yourself with pretty plants and wear cool, light green or lime colors. Have fun--enjoy, mint, lime, pistachio or rainbow sherbets in the form of drinks, ice cream or coolers.

Situations and people you thought you could rely on might not be as solid as you think. Talk things over and find out what is really happening; you should be able to enhance your security. There is a feeling that things will work out right if left alone, but this can be misleading. Plans, decisions and problems prove easy to solve and may even turn out lucky. Good advice from a guide or older person is of benefit; this is a good day. You make your way now by using practical vision and common sense. This could be some kind of high-water mark for your career, recognition, etc. You may find that you enjoy your job or the responsibility it entails more than usual. You create some family harmony this evening--a little song, a little joke, etc., etc.

It could be easy to lose yourself in one flight of fancy or another. Normally, clear ideas are easy but something could be holding you back. It may be hard to be logical or consistent. Considering this, you may want to involve yourself in some form of exercise before eating at the noon hour today. This should help to bring your energies into a working level until you get a focus. It is possible that you have recently achieved your ambitions or goals and it is now time to review and make new goals. It could also be that it is just the right time to have a better focus on where you want to be in the future. Staying in the present would be nice but it would also be like staying in the past. Time is moving--get with the program and move with the times.

There is a need for compromise and for coming to an understanding. This is a time of decision, when small changes can have big effects later. If you are careful with your words, you will avoid some difficult situations. Make the right choice and it rebounds to your benefit; the wrong one or no choice at all, does you no favors. You may receive some recognition or special attention regarding your particular skills and abilities. Important financial decisions require more information than you have just now. It's important to gather all the facts necessary to give you a realistic idea of what you are getting into and when you might expect results. Take a little trip, or get outside today--enjoy. Social relationships are a special focus this evening.

Goals and security needs are a focus in your life at this time and they tend to be clashing with each other just now. Striking a balance between the two is necessary. Now is the time to act and decide; failure to do so can upset a delicate emotional or physical balance. You may want to rethink your short-term goals--you will soon find the help you need for what you want to accomplish. You may have a heightened interest in health and diet, as well as an urge to get things organized. There is a lot of mental busywork today. Because you may be a bit direct with people, your friends or close family members may be few. However, the people that draw close to you respect your input. Tonight may be the perfect time to entertain or be entertained.

Career choices and direction seem to indicate a loss of freedom. This could mean you have a new job or a different position within the company for which you work. Your confidence, however, will see you through any difficulties. There could be a hidden link that will highlight your point of view--be patient. Remember to use your mind and not your emotions for now; your emotions are a good warning but not always a good guide. Your ambitions go hand-in-hand with communication and the two should never be far apart. Your time after work for the next few weeks may be extremely important. Enjoy your family this evening. There may be talk tonight about some ideas for travel. Diet, exercise and work are most important to you now.

Positive things are happening in the career sector of your life. The advances you make now depend upon your own ambition and drive, which are strong. You are able to use good common sense--you can feel trends and make all the right moves. This may mean a change of job or an advancement of some sort within the workplace. This is a time to get ahead by taking action. Fresh insight comes to you through mass media such as broadcasting, publishing and advertising. You may gain a completely new perspective. This should prove to be a nice day and will move along quite well. You could feel real support and harmony at this time for circumstances and those around you. There are indications that you could be influenced to gamble this evening.

Your mind is full of practical ideas, especially related to your job skills. You should be able to come up with new ideas that will manage things better and make things run efficiently. There is some misconception that you can correct or create a new understanding for others today. You enjoy working with your mind and can usually find a solution to even the worst problems. Your skills in this regard make you expert at counseling and guiding others. As you tackle your budgeting problems this evening, you will put your analytical abilities to work on yourself. If you have a bit of restraint, you will soon be able to pay off some past bills. Doing things for yourself may become your motto. A close relationship offers a lot of potential for growth.

You feel an increased self-confidence and courage and may perform feats you never before thought were possible. You can command the support of others and advance your goals through leadership and generosity. You take pleasure through physical activity, such as sports, games and dancing. Tonight you may find a friend or relative to help you practice a new dance step or some other talent you want to perfect. This can be a fun evening.

This can be a strange, chaotic time when you may be tempted to avoid responsibilities. Get some perspective here--this time will pass, but you could make it worse with apathy. Your return to a more positive outlook will depend on your perseverance and positive determination. As things begin to improve, and they will, you will gain a focus. A business deal this afternoon will require careful attention. Examine all the contracts and make sure that you have followed all the steps that are necessary in your line of business. Get outside and exercise or just enjoy the landscape and the diversity of it all. After the workday is over there will be plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the company of friends or family in a no-responsibilities type of evening.

The first thing you are greeted with this morning in the working world will probably be the interesting challenges. Although you may complain a bit when no one is around to hear you, you will most likely rub your hands together and become excited about looking for a solution. You like solving problems and superiors see this in you. If you do not want an abundance of difficult cases to solve, you must ask for less of a variety of work. You have an increased self-confidence to try new things and you are inventive to pursue your goals for greater independence. This is a favorable time for enterprises in the technology and entertainment fields. It is also a good time to consider a job change or a move. Humanitarian enterprises grab your attention.

You have a confident, optimistic outlook today and others can see that you are determined to tend to the business side of life. With only a few interruptions, you are able to move along relatively well--making a great deal of progress. Sales and legal matters are favored today. This afternoon or during the noon break you may decide to purchase an expensive item. This may be an item that will increase in value within a short time. You may feel pressures to expand into a more affluent lifestyle, but if you stop to think about the upkeep, you could reconsider. Talking with friends this afternoon, you may change your ideas or at least think about changing your thoughts regarding religious, cultural or educational viewpoints. You may want to reschedule travel plans.

You begin constructive efforts for moral self-improvement today. This could mean you change your response to the way particular people talk to you. You seek the trust and confidence of others and must be prepared to compete in business transactions. Others may find you deep, with a sense of mission and mystery. This is a favorable time for study of life's mysteries and deeper meanings. During this time, you may desire to change your domestic conditions. You may want to maintain your own living quarters or perhaps you will begin to redecorate or renovate your home. Some family ties may end or a family member may travel. Long-buried feelings from the past can be reexamined and released or purged. New beginnings are positive and encouraged.

You have a greater self-confidence and determination to succeed. As you embark on new beginnings, you will end old conditions. Look at your goals and dreams in order to leave behind unnecessary baggage as you move ahead. You could find yourself engaged in nonconformist causes, ready to promote what is independent and innovative. You like radical approaches and find yourself in support of whatever product is new or some nifty breakthrough advance is next in line. This can be a time of leadership--you have the power to sway others in your group and initiate reforms. As a collector of butterflies, herbs or potions for teas and seasonings you might want to spend a little time with your hobby so that you can build your supply for future use.

Interruptions make it hard to concentrate on your usual work but the interruptions are acceptable, although a little unusual. This could mean making room for a new individual--extra work or a technical change. You may want more freedom that is creative with regard to work, but those in control tend to be unsympathetic. Soon you will see an increase in salary or job identification, patience. You may fluctuate between conservative and rebellious urges at this time. This afternoon you will find your friends may be stimulating but they can also aggravate your career aspirations with unrealistic ideals. You may have problems with groups or organizations--perhaps in returning a purchase. Tonight, you could be planning a fun social get-together.

This is a great week for you to do a little overtime work. You feel energetic and strong and can confidently take the initiative to bring most matters to a quick resolution. A regular customer, friend or neighbor complains constantly. It is not the complaints that need fixing, as much as the need for communication and contact with others for which he or she yearns. Find a friend for this complaining person and you will have a happy customer, friend or neighbor. This afternoon you could be feeling that there is still some sort of unfinished business. This day has gone well and your energies stay strong. Take some time to exercise by walking, bicycling or even swimming. Any exercise that makes you move forward will help to balance and smooth out any frustrations.

You enjoy a full and successfully day. You are inclined to lean toward a very busy and productive life style. This is a favorable time to eliminate nonessentials and strengthen your security or work toward some improvement. You have great concern for the future and are the first in line to organize some charity program for the starving or the handicapped or children without parents, etc. Today you may receive some surprise call from people that will help you organize such a special charity. This evening can be a favorable time for writing, serious study, teaching, and catching up on correspondence. Communications and travel related to career are beneficial and tend to go smoothly at this time.

Involvement in travel, law and education can put you in contact with a higher or more professional class of people. You are apt to desire authority in some field of cultural interest, or some set of principles. Professional communications with superiors, government or other officials would be good at this time. News or publicity can affect your status or position. Your job responsibilities may require more efficiency or training. Your imagination is energized. Activities can involve promotional campaigns, music, storytelling or inspirational work. Now is a good time to keep some moments for reflection. Visit museums, libraries, take a vacation or in some way, get in touch with nature. If you are sensitive, do not indulge in addictive products.

Communication with professional people is stimulating this morning. There could be an employee review that could lead to a raise soon. Talk of work improvement and productivity will dominate the lunch hour. There could be talk about your personal aims and goals for the future.

HOROSCOPE AUGUST 12 2012_*

2012-08-12T08:47:00.001+05:30

A little extra interest is available at this time, to sort out some of those relationship problems you have kept pushing aside. Better deal with them, or they could make you irritable. Your ideas may not find the support you would like for now, but if you are patient and others see this effort to be patient, you may be surprised at the results. A surprise this afternoon may find you and a friend creating some unique type of jewelry or art that one could wear. There is satisfaction in creating something that someone else thinks is fun. This craft may have come from some art you learned as a child. The afternoon turns into evening quickly as you teach others your tricks. You are ready for the workweek ahead and may spend a little time in stargazing later tonight.

There is an accent on hospitality today. You could be entertaining or perhaps you will open your home to guests or family members that are out of town. This should be one of those days when everything goes well--great for social get-togethers with lighthearted conversation. Any past tensions can be easily straightened out. This is also a perfect day to go to a concert, take a drive, start a vacation or express your love for someone. Relating with old chums is easy and extremely pleasant during this time. Relations with a spouse or business partner are on a solid ground. Expressing affections should come easily and can do positive things for your disposition. There is a sense of togetherness with close friends and relatives even into the evening.

You are interested in reading the rest of a great book--or at least a couple of chapters this morning. Later you could be in a learning mood and want to study about a new skill. At any rate, most of this day you will have your head in a book of some sort. This is an excellent time to sit down alone and get many things accomplished--including reading. This is a good time to write with originality. Perhaps you will catch up on some of the letters you want to send to friends and family. Later this afternoon is a great time for taking part in social activities with friends. Perhaps an early movie would be fun. You can demonstrate great understanding and sensitivity to the needs of others just now and others gain new insights from just being with you.

You are in a good mood and totally recharged this morning. You may feel as though you could control the world. There is not only a desire for outdoor, physical activity at this time, but there will most likely be ample opportunities to partake in it. However, you should be careful of taking any undo risks or thrill-seeking stunts at this time. You will be in a position to exert influence and change your environment and relationships. If you feel that you have that extra push today, you may want to put this interest to real use and repair or clean around your living area. Avoid dangerous settings for now; you could be prone to run into objects just now. Avoid extravagance and self-indulgence that may also accompany the energies of the next few days.

This is a time when romance is strong. You may experience many situations when a new relationship may be possible, particularly one of a physical, loving nature. Additionally, this is a time when your powers of creativity are great. Communication is good with the opposite sex and you must allow some time to pass before making up your mind to focus on just one person. There are new understandings and new interests in intellectual affairs. Later today, on the home front, your nurturing instincts may be best focused on your favorite animal. Roommates or family members may be touchy tonight. There could be some tension, but sensing that others need a bit of compassion, as well as a little alone time, is very beneficial.

Working in the fall garden early this morning and tending to household chores this afternoon will probably find you whistling a happy tune. You may be busy cleaning, shopping and putting things into place. This should be one of those very welcome days during which you feel good and so does everyone else. You feel nothing but affection toward everybody around you and they in turn reflect it all back to you. Your benevolence extends to strangers as well; everyone you attract will be in a good mood. ENJOY! This afternoon is a great time to write those letters, play with hobbies, visit friends and reflect and understand your own situation. Emotions in particular, or the feelings of those around you, may be very clear. A nice time.

You could be leading a group, teaching a spiritual class or giving a lecture about your favorite hobby. You are sensitive to the needs of others and at this time you are in a good position to communicate concerning groups. If you are selling a product today you will gain much attention. You could be most persuasive with others, especially if you are willing to work some sort of trade to get what you want. The situation is a natural for self-expression and opens a door to your sharing your particular ideas. This evening, finding good conversation with those you love is easy. You draw emotional nourishment and a sense of security from ideals, friends and social involvement. Health and work goals are on you mind this evening.

Take a look at your nutrition and think about a little diet change for this next week--you will be pleased with the results. Do not overextend yourself for this day although, if you have made a promise to a friend, keep it! This afternoon you will be helping your friend in some way and can be assured the universe will pay back your efforts. This evening may be a tough time to solve puzzles so watching a movie, reading a book or planning your next party might keep you happily busy. If the next party is mostly for young people, now would be a good time to put a few plans together, perhaps a treasure hunt. You have items around the house that would make some fantastic invitations. Picture of participant's faces would be a blast on the invitation

Unpredictable opportunities come up today that will allow you to have a festive sort of day. It is certainly time for relaxing and enjoying your day.

This person has plenty of nice things to share and appreciates your tastes or belongings. An instinctive urge to get serious about taking care of yourself at many levels is emphasized. You may concentrate on diet and exercise this evening.

Concentrate on your personal goals today--firm up ongoing projects or begin new ones. Work alone, if possible, because the encouragement or advice of others is not necessary today. It could be that you are spending time to write a chapter in your novel. Now is your chance to be you, for yourself! Do not forget to include some physical activity today; balance. This is a time when you can expect a little progress as well as some type of extra support or recognition from those around you. You may feel that you are in touch and in harmony with others; the lines of communication are open. The support you need is available. A healing may take place between yourself and a friend or family member. Someone learns to let go with love.

Concern today may center on family, marital status and information relating to a new addition to your family. This is a great time to reflect and understand new goals and accomplishments for the future--where you have been and where you are going. The emotions and feelings of those around you may be very clear. There is a new understanding.

Never Make a Woman Angry!

2012-07-21T17:59:00.000+05:30

Never Make a Woman Angry!

A woman arrived at the Gates of Heaven. While she was waiting for Saint Peter to
greet her, she peeked through the gates and saw a beautiful banquet table.

Sitting all around were her parents and all the other people she had loved and
who had died before her. They saw her and began calling greetings to her,
"Hello. How are you! We've been waiting for you! Good to see you."
When Saint Peter came by, the woman said to him,
"This is such a wonderful place! How do I get in?"

"You have to spell a word," Saint Peter told her.
"Which word?" the woman asked.
"Love."

The woman correctly spelled "Love" and Saint Peter welcomed her into Heaven.

About a year later, Saint Peter came to the woman
and asked her to watch the Gates of Heaven for him that day.
While the woman was guarding the Gates of Heaven, her husband arrived.

"I'm surprised to see you," the woman said. "How have you been?"
"Oh, I've been doing pretty well since you died," her husband told her.  "I
married the beautiful young nurse who took care of you while you were ill.  And
then I won the multi-state lottery.  I sold the little house you and I lived in
and bought a huge mansion.  And my wife and I traveled all around the world.  We
were on vacation in Cancun and I went water skiing today.  I fell and hit my
head, and here I am. What a bummer! How do I get in?"

"You have to spell a word," the woman told him.
"Which word?" her husband asked.
"Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis", she replied.

Moral of the story: Never make a woman angry . . . there will be Hell to pay!

NB: The longest word currently listed in the Oxford dictionary is the supposed
lung-disease pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (45 letters).

Now you've learned a new word.

Man who lost his legs as a child scales 19,000ft-high Kilimanjaro

Man who lost his legs as a child scales 19,000ft-high Kilimanjaro by crawling on his HANDS for seven days

It's a feat most able-bodied people would struggle to achieve - scaling one of the highest peaks on the planet. Spencer West managed it using just his hands.

The 31-year-old, from Toronto, Canada - who lost his legs when he was just five years old - reached the summit of the 19,341ft high Mt. Kilimanjaro on Tuesday after a slow, gruelling and awe-inspiring trek.

Spencer West, celebrates at the peak of Kilimanjaro on Monday, after scaling the tallest mountain in Africa on his hands

Because of the rough terrain, Mr West had to complete most of the seven-day trek on his hands, only using a wheelchair when the ground allowed

Mr West was born with sacral agenesis, a genetic disorder that left his lower spine poorly developed and his legs permanently crossed.

He had his legs removed below the knees at the age of three and, two-years-later, had them amputated to below his pelvis.

Medical experts told the courageous Canadian he would never be a functioning member of society but he has continued to defy doctors his entire life.

He trained for a year to scale the tallest peak in Africa without legs and set off on June 12 with best friends David Johnson and Alex Meers.

The trek to the top took seven days, hiking through Tanzania's jungles, snowfields and deserts - and Mr West was forced to make 80 per cent of the journey on his hands, only hopping in a custom-made wheelchair when the terrain allowed.

The trio made it to the final approach on Sunday and rose the following morning for the ascent to Uhuru Peak.

They reached the top at 11.15am after a exhausting seven hour hike.

He was supported the whole way by best friend David Johnson and Alex Meers

Mr West's hands were left bloodied and bruised after the trek, but insists the pain and discomfort were 'worth it'

Only 50 per cent of people who attempt to scale the mountain make it to the top - and Mr West described the moment he reached the summit as 'incredible'.

He said: 'The summit sign seemed almost like a mirage.

'We looked around and realised that, after seven grueling days of relentless climbing, after 20,000 feet of our blood, sweat, tears and vomit we had actually made it.

'The bleeding fingers and blisters were all worth it.'

More...

He added: 'I set out to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro not only to redefine what's possible for me, but to inspire others to overcome obstacles and challenges of their own, and to give back to communities, that need our help.

'Reaching the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro was the most mentally and physically challenging thing I have ever done, but in doing so, it reinforced the powerful message behind believing in yourself, and believing in others.

'So many people made this journey possible for me and I am so humbled by everyone's support.'

His incredible feat has raised more than £300,000 for Free The Children, a charity which brings sustainable to thousands of Kenyans experiencing drought.

When he was a child doctors told Mr West he would struggle to play a role in society - something he has remained determined to prove wrong

Porters carry Spencer West's wheelchair up Kilimanjaro, so he can use it when the terrain allows him to give his battered hands a break

Mr West slipped a pair of flip-flops on his hands to help him negotiate the rocky terrain during his hike up the mountain, which looms in the background

The brave climber grins as he reaches the foot of Kilimanjaro - ahead of the final trek to the top

Spencer West spent a year training for the Kilimanjaro trek at his home in Toronto, Canada

He had to be sure he had enough strength in his arms to carry him up the 19,000 ft high mountain
