Millions of years, trillion commixes One chance olio and a species was born. In sixty seconds on a cool wet planet Zillions swarmed on to trammel others. Zoos were born and cartoons too In cages and pages all creatures live. Tools were born and torture too Mines and missiles minced no words. Fences boundaries lines crisscrossed Spiral smoke from every crooked chimney. Deep under seas the molten belly revolted And angrily sweep away a million vermin Frozen heads melt, deserts in snow masks  Bikini beaches breach, dead river fish float Forests smoke out, rivers chart new paths And angrily wash away a million vermin. In sixty seconds we besieged our master The sixty-first second, our litmus test on earth . November 17, 2009 © Nalini Hebbar/openmind - all rights reserved.

This was a really a miracle which happened on January 15th 2010 on the solar eclipse day. I did receive this within few days of this miracle from one of the local news papers in TamilNadu. But I was not sure about the authenticity of the news and hence thought not to publish. Because few years back there was a news that Lord Ganapathy was drinking milk and finally it was proved with some scientific reasons. I thought to ignore the email which came to me. But recently this mail has been the talk of the town and in one of the popular channels in Tamilnadu relayed the full sequence and I was shocked to see it. I am not able to correlate this with some scientific reasons and hence thought to share the article with you all. Miracle on January 15, 2010 Solar Eclipse day[Translation] Location : Kumbakonam (Tanjore District TamilNadu, India) At the Siva Temple in Thepperumanallur, large numbers of devotees witnessed a miracle of a Cobra doing Archana for Siva Lingam with Vilvam leaves.

Lets take the following typical scenario that we used to see in our everyday life , "A Girl & A Boy are madly in love with each other but their parents are against this.The Girl leaves the Boy and carries on with her life." Being a BOY i had a very bad attitude towards GIRLS who fell on the above category ,i regret for it now.I attribute this change in attitude to the film VINNAITHAANDI VARUVAAYA & its director GAUTHAM VASUDEV MENON . PLOT : " A young aspiring film director falls in love with his neighbour & recalls his love through the film he makes. " First of all there is saying that goes " ALLS WELL THAT ENDS WELL ",this saying goes hand in hand with this movie ,at first glance i was like "What kind of a pathetic love is this ???" "Why is the herione such a flirt ??" "Is this really a love story ?". I kept asking myself this question & was arguing the same with my friends throughout the film until the pe...

Life zipping past as if in overdrive Ebb and flow with unknowns thrown in  Racing against the tide at all times Surging ahead on whippy foamy waters  Stress contaminated senses worn thin and bare   Forever dashing around like a crazed hen  Working woefully till the last ounce of energy Crashing into a unmade bed in the three-piece suit Moments of madness in the middle of the night Oppressively sad without really knowing it The ethereal calm may not last forever Put up tired legs and just watch the traffic  Find the patchwork overall and the garden Some time to smell air good enough to eat The mountain beckons with paths less trodden  Collect rare shells on lonely long beaches The winding rivers lure with whitewater rafts Ride a bullock cart to discover forgotten forts Trigger a renewal before a rap on the knuckles Face up squarely before the banana boats pitch Make a dramatic heft from the cloistral confines  Sap it stem it stop it change it before it...

Photo Credit Happiness is but a state of the mind Looking for it at the table you dined? A filled stomach and a fuller pocket Buys delight, as did a diamond locket. Each has one’s own personal equation Levels off at peak, horizontal fashion. Money flaunting buys evanescent change Wrap of affluenza turns life estrange.  Obscure in snatched moments of phantasy  Sinking highs of drugged satin ecstasy. Orbiting round the key to happiness Contentment is hidden in crypticness. Trapped in a vicious circle of action Hunting lifelong for gratification. Love & happiness slithers beyond reach Perhaps the route opted needs a reteach. Endless-peace requires subtle openness  Inhaling success-upset with sameness.

Years pass by and our kidneys are filtering the blood by removing salt, poison and any unwanted entering our body. With time, the salt accumulates and this needs to undergo cleaning treatments and how are we going to overcome this? It is very easy, first take a bunch of Coriander (Malli Leaves) Kothimbir (Dhaniya) and wash it clean. Then cut it in small pieces and put it in a pot and pour clean water and boil it for ten minutes and let it cool down and then filter it and pour in a clean bottle and keep it inside refrigerator to cool. Drink one glass daily and you will notice all salt and other accumulated poison coming out of your kidney by urination also you will be able to notice the difference which you never felt before. Parsley is known as best cleaning treatment for kidneys and it is natural! Received as a mail forward

I received the following mail as a forward from a Doctor so thought its worthwhile posting "I have used an onion which has been left in the fridge, and some times I don't use a whole one at one time, so save the other half for later." Now with this info, I have changed my mind....will buy smaller onions in the future. I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, makers of mayonnaise.  Mullins is huge, and is owned by 11 brothers and sisters in the Mullins family.  My friend, Jeanne, is the CEO. Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist. The guy who gave us our tour is named Ed - he's one of the brothers. Ed is a chemistry expert and is involved in developing most of the sauce formula. He's even developed sauce formula for McDonald's.Keep in mind that Ed is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise. People are always worried that ...

Implausible world ,meaning "a world not having the appearance of truth or credibility". It may be a hard to digest this but this is the world in which we are all living ,everything in our day to day life is getting fabricated.Even a smile to a colleague in office serves a hypocritic purpose ,fabricated cases ,fabricated news ,fabricated truths ,the list goes on. Some people who get caught in this web are taken for a ride and when the ride ends they are either no more or join the wagon of fabrication. PLOT : " An innocent cop takes justice in his own hands after a fabricated case against him threatens his life & the life of the people he loves. " The plot of the movie may sound like a regular run of the mill cop story but what made this film so appreciable are the lead actors who just lifted the scripted to an engaging thriller. Samuel L.Jackson & Kevin Spacey are the lead actors am talking about ,both of them had their lion's share of roles in the mov...

It goes without saying that mothers have an important role to play in their children's lives. Here are a few tips on how you can be a better parent to your child: Respect and value your child: Always respect your children -- respect and listen to their views and values, their opinions. Give them your complete attention when they want to talk to you. Put whatever activity you are engaged in on hold, and if that's not possible, set a time for when you can chat, and make sure to stick to it. Encourage your children every opportunity you get. Make them feel special and express your love for them often. Hug them, kiss them and say 'I love you' everyday, not just when they are young but also as they grow older. Let them feel your love and affection as often as you can. Talk to your kids: Conversing with children is the best way to influence their ability and love for learning.

Designer Andy Kurovets presents his “Bend Mobile” concept. He thinks turning on a device and having it grow to nearly double its size will really be attractive to some people. He may be right but where is the proof? Oh right, he is also including a high capacity digital camera that also pops out to larger than expected proportions. All that and it’s curved, for easy sliding in and out of your pants.

Iris, peek-a-boo plays  From under shutters Weighed down As if by stones  Hung to eyelashes. Sleep deprived minds Fatigued senses Weighed down As if by sameness Chin to chest falls. Paradoxical sleep stages REM in fragments Jaded down Driving long hours On straight highways. A spectator drives As sleep in creeps Guards down To floating lights Of approaching cars. Cool tempered breeze  Nonstop talking friends  Get down Get off those roads Highway hypnosis.
