A BLIND BOY

Hai!! Its been a long time since i have updated. Yes I admit that i am a lazy bone. But i really love to update my blog. I feel so relaxed. Hmmm.. Now what do i write for today? Ahh!! got it.. let me share this beautiful short story that i read yesterday. Its so beautiful & Its all about how to live your life to the fullest with no regrets whatsoever.. You will love it!!

One day a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Were u the one who changed my sign this morning? What did u write?”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what u said but in a different way.” What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day & I cannot see it.”
Do you think the first sign & the second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said that the boy was blind. But The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Right?? So should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story is that
Be thankful for what you have.

Be creative.

Be innovative.

Think differently and positively.

Invite the people towards good with wisdom.

Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets.

When Life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile.

Face your past without regret.

Handle your present with confidence.

Prepare for the future without fear.

Keep the faith and drop the fear.

Don’t believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs.

Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve.

I always end up writing something related to our lives. Well i have ni answer if you ask me for the reason.Its because I love to share my feelings and thoughts about life. Because life is very precious.Life is really wonderful if you know how to live it. Each day is as special as you want it to be………SO MAKE IT GREAT MY FRIEND!! Have fun & Keep smiling :-)

YOU DRINK COKE?

noreply@blogger.com (Shakya) — Sat, 1 Mar 2008 16:30:00 +0530

Today i was blogging and found something really sad.. actually i came across a blog which belonged to an old man. he had no family members for his support... he is really not keeping well... says that i can die any day now... coz he has all the possible ailments... went through number of operations. takes so many insulins each day... and tablets ofcourse.. he looks quiet depressed.. even after all this the sad thing is that instead of taking care of his health by consuming healthy food like.. pulses, fruits , veggies.... u wont believe he eats all the possible junks like burgers... pizzas... thats quiet ok but really not good for him at this time.... but what freaked me the most was that he has 2 cups of COKE...that to EVERY DAY!!Now people who dont know the truth behind COKE might just think, what is this girl speaking all about.. but YES ITS TRUE..COKE will kill you thats what i can say..not just COKE any areated drink for that matter.I dont know whether the old man really knew that COKE is bad or just May be he had no one to help out... poor old man. i really feel pity on him.. but some one had to tell him that his food habit is not good, right? so i did that job.. hope he follows it.. lets pray to god that he gets well soon.. People dont really want to digest the fact that its really bad to have these areated drinks... there should be a BIG NO for COKE,PEPSI and all the soft drinks..if you arent aware of the facts then let me just tell u what COKE really IS!! Its better if we know certain things.. so that we make a healty living.. right? who wants a unhealthy life.But ofcourse each being on this earth has the right to live the way he or she wants..[but we want a extravagant life right and thats why we leave our dreams aside and get so busy in making money..that we neglect our health & finally land up no where..thats life after all..things are never gonna change i guess!!..] well i am doing my duty of informing the unknown that COKE is very bad for health.. then its completly up to you my dear!!
Did you know??
In many states in USA highway patrol carries two gallons COKE in a trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident!
The active ingredient in COKE is phosphoric acid... its pH is 2.8.it will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
To carry Coca Cola syrup(concentrate)the commercial truck must use the hazardous material place cards reserved for highly corrosivematerials.
The distributors of COKE have been using it to clean the engine for their trucks for about 20 years!
Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl. Let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean!!try this out.. :-)
To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan; Wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before theham is finished,remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy. [P.S i have not tried this recipe... and i DONT WANT YOU to try it either... its just for your general knowledge.] :-)

And you know, A college in delhi had organised a competition, who ever drinks the maximum number of coke will be declared winner..and the winner drank nearly 5 bottles of coke and died on the spot..due to the increase of carbon dioxide content in his body..Now you know??

SO... THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU GULP DOWN A BOTTLE OF COKE OR PEPSI OR ANY SOFT DRINK..

I WOULD RATHER SUGGEST YOU TO GO FOR FRESH FRUIT JUICES TO COOL DOWN YOUR THIRST..something like.... apple,carrot,lemon,orange,pineapple,pomogranate,water melon juice..you can also go for sugarcane juice if its available in your city.if you come around mangalore any time then spotting a sugarcane juice stall is not a big deal its is found in most of the street stalls here.but if you are quiet much into cleanliness and hygiene just like me then street stalls are not the right place for you.But no worrys,If you want to have hygienically flavoured sugarcane juice, then you will find a joint in Bharath Mall.You will wonder how much technology has changed these days isnt it!:-)

And oh my god,ya of course how can i forget this natural drink.. tender coconut juice.. lots of it available here in mangalore.. and i just love it. nothing can ever be better than that..We call it bonda.. One thing that you should not miss when you're in Mangalore is this chilled coconut juice.we call it the Bonda juice - this chilled tender coconut juice [bonda juice] which will be a little sweeter than the natural tender coconut juice where they add little of sugar syrup and lime juice..that'll drive you crazy and you'll be asking for more! Try out this chilled coconut juice in case you happen to visit Jimmy's Supermarket (Falnir Road) - there's a tea/coffee/juice stand next to it which serves awesome chilled coconut juice! this shop is known as R B juice corner.

Hai there..well i could not make it yesterday..Oh lord! days are getting busier now..Ok listen, this morning i was flipping through a magazine and read a small article..I really dont know what these scientists are really upto..First they tell us falling in love is good for you.And now,they tell us,"Whoops! False alarm,its not so good after all."Yeah,they have now issued a warning that love puts your body through the same amount of stress that fear does.And too much of it can be really harmful..Hmm..so if what they are saying is true,you have a choice to make my dear.A lonely,healthy alone..or a short,happy one?No contest:-) think about it...Well right now i am listening to a beautiful romantic song from Jodha Akbar [its a indian movie..] awesome songs..A.R rehaman's music is so diffrent from the others and so soothing and very pleasing to ears.I am listening to...In lamhon ke daman mein pakeezah se rishte hain,Koi kalma mohabbat ka dohrate farishte hain.This takes me off to a dream land..The starting lines of the song is so beautiful..of course it has to be written by javed akhtar..and sonu nigam's singing is marvelleous as ever..even madhushree sang well..You know even though i dont understand most of the words and their meanings,i have always loved ghazals..but my friends and cousins always tease me saying that i should have been born in the60's or 70's..such fools ok...what do they know about ghazals..they only listen to rock n roll..Ah..instead why dont they just shout..that would be much better to hear.. :-) All have their own choice when it comes to music..But i can never be tired of soft music,ghazals,sufi music..they simply drift me to a diffrent world,i would never want to come back from..sounds crazy to you,may be but..seriously its true in my case...thats why i say i love the way i am..and i just love music..you know actually the best way to relax is to indulge yourself in some kind of dance..though we all are busy..the best way to shed those extra kilo's you have got...well i dint opt for salsa or jive,but i just went for this typical indian dance form...Kathak...Kathak is among the six major classical dances of India and one of the most dynamic theater arts in the world. The word Kathak is derived from katha, meaning "the art of storytelling." The technique of Kathak today is characterized by fast rhythmic footwork. The footwork is matched by the accompanying instruments such as tabla and they often indulge in a display of rhythmic movement.Its just wonderful.I love it and its really so beautiful to watch it also..while we are dancing,the sounds of the ghungroo(anklet) is so enchanting..i feel so delighted..And i really got back to good shape now..So why dont you go join a dance class to get back to a good shape..Well spare some time and dance to the beats..It will be awesome.. :-)
