Some interesting around

It looks like an experiment gone wrong but the Dickey owner of a four-legged chicken denies fowl play. Dickey, found the four-legged wonder legging it around an incubator at his home. It was the first time he'd seen one hatch with four legs. He looks really robust and strong, he's good, and he’s just cruising along. The chick uses its bottom two legs to walk on. Other four-legged chickens had been reported in Romania and Saudi Arabia. In Dickey's chick case, stem cells in the egg had divided into four instead of two, meaning an extra pair of legs. Dickey has kept the chicken as a pet and are considering naming it Jack-peg-a-leg.

Now here’s a really old banger. This 3,000-year-old chariot was found in China with the skeletons of horses that pulled it. Experts believe the incredible remains come from the ancient Eastern Zhou dynasty in 770 BC. The chariot is thought to have belonged to a Chinese emperor whose horses were sacrificed after he died. It is one of 397 tombs discovered at Luoyang China’s first capital in central Henan province. Seventeen of them contained well-preserved chariots and horses, all laid out in a long line. The graves have gone on display to the public in a new underground museum.

Don’t fear, it’s just a snake. This barely recognizable snake bit off more than it could chew when it snacked a pregnant ewe. The six-meter python weighing 90 kg was too laden to move, making it far easier for firemen to capture it in a Malaysian village.

Two amateur California naturalists have found what they report is the world's tallest living thing. It's a redwood in Redwood National Park on the Northern California coast. The redwood tree, named Hyperion, stands 378.1 feet tall, 8 feet taller than the previous record holder, another coast redwood. The San Francisco Gate reported that the group has found about 135 redwoods that reach higher than 350 feet. The Hyperion was the tallest, followed by Helios, which stands at 376.3 feet, and Icarus, which stands at 371.2 feet, according to the paper. Researchers plan to climb the giant Hyperion in the coming weeks.

A fun day and launch of MDAI website in Mayajaal

Game show by children

It was a fun day for me and 70 other children yesterday, who are suffering form the Muscular Dystrophy. The Muscular Dystrophy Association India and Sundaram Medical Foundation arranged a fun outing for the parents, children of MD and the launch of website of MDAI www.mdaindia.org in Mayajaal Complex.

Actual it was a fun trip; every one was announced to assemble at Sundaram Medical Foundation yesterday above 11.am, but for us, the place they announced to assemble is very distance form my place, so we directly went to Mayajaal in ECR. Me, dad, mom and our cousin went before they arrive and waited for few minutes, as soon as they arrive the volunteer provide me Wheel Chare to go inside the Mayajaal. There was a lunch party in the center of the hall, with other MD children & parents. It’s the first time I visit the Mayajaal. After the lunch, the parents were announced to leave the children in the hall and attend the doctor’s parent meeting. Form 2, to 4.30pm there were full of fun for us, they conduct some jolly contest for us, many children are very young, shouting and enjoyed the activities. We also enjoy the mimicry program, and some children were playing videogames and car ride. To encourage us they gave prize and gift for our activities. The interesting thing was they tie gas balloons on every kids wrist, they were running here and there with the balloon, which flying up, many kids left the balloon and all went and stick on the roof, again they get a balloon and left it on the roof.
This is Jagan a MD child
Some volunteers and school children also join with us in the fun, they were very friendly and helpful, they helped every child to move and carry them. There was a boy Nandhakumar was very quite sitting behind me and mumble something, when I see him, he will smile cutely. We all forget our disease and suffer, while playing and enjoy the afternoon. I am lucky to see such cute kids playing and talking on the mike, with out worrying about them and enjoying the movement. By 4.30.pm the launch of MDAI website starts. Before the launch, there was a short motion picture of Muscular Dystrophy, shown, and our Dr.V.Vishwanathan explained about the importance of the website, their future plans, the arrangement of the function and introduced all the chief Guests. After minutes Mr.V.Narayanan, director, Chennai Willington Corporation Foundation and other guest like Former Cricket player Srikkanth, ONGC excitive director Dr.C.S.Jain, launched the MDAI Website.
Group song by children

There was also a group song by school children and MD children; their voice was very nice. The lady (I guess she was a doctor) who integrated the program was very sweet, friendly and takes care of every child with love. In the end they gave free wheel chares for children and speech of the Chief Guests. In India this is the first website created for Muscular Dystrophy and its purpose is to create awareness and make it easy for everyone to know about MD. These programs should be welcome; too aware the public, there are so many people with MD. As there were no medicines currently for this MD (hope they will find soon), the support of public will be a big strength for our minds. Please visit our www.mdaindia.com website to know about our disease.The fun day news also came in Hindu

Eradicate anti-social (Story tag)

Was tagged by Pavithra

It was a different tag, where we should write a Story of our imagination. (Just a Story that all)

Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Chapter 4
Chapter 5
Chapter 6

Chapter 7

It was a rainy day; roads are filled with water, as I was walking through the road. The person who was waking before me suddenly fell into the open manhole, every one was impatient don’t know what to do? But when I drop my hand inside the manhole to find him, suddenly I was pulled inside the hole. When I open my eyes I saw shock to see lots of warplanes crossing above my head and the surrounding was like desert, then I realize this was a room surrounded by screens. There I met a person whom looks like charle Chaplin. I asked him are u Chaplin; stupid I am the great Hitler. What place is this? Is it Iraq? Hitler said this is Eutopia Universe, as u guess the scenes what u see here are the live movement form Iraq through our latest technology. I brought you here for a project of destroying all the anti-social elements of this world.

Are u, telling this? Haha…. What a joke. I learn that u have killed million of people though your Racial Policy. How can I hope u like to destroy anti-social. I am very fear; first I want to go out from here, by the by why did u select me? Because you have humanity. We like your mind of helping for unknown person through our drama. So confusing, which drama? The rain, the person who fell inside the manhole are all. u realize the dignity of life; when every one was think, u the first person at least to drop ur hand to save him. My team will help u, whatever weapons u want, take, to destroy the anti-social elements. I replayed to him you haven’t incorrigible; we can’t destroy the anti- social or terror through weapon. I told, leave me and while I was running from the room, and I saw 2 persons who sadly sitting and watching the war scenes through the screen, when I ask them who are u, what are u doing here?

They introduced themselves we are the Wright Brothers, who discovered the planes. I said, I am very happy to meet you; I have to thank u for making our transport easy to fly to every corner of this world, thought your discover. Why are u very sad? They told we are unhappy about our discover. We create if for the people to enjoy flying on the sky and make the travel easy, latest development in aeronautic feel us happy but at the same time planes used for dropping bombs on innocent and kidnap to crash it on building, makes us worry. As I was thinking these and open the door, I saw lot’s children praying with an old woman before the god to save the world and I come to know that she is Mother Theresa.

I got blessings form her and I asked: mother, what’s the way to save our world, and how the anti-social people are created? She told child if some one attack us, that’s not mean we should also attack them, it will only encourage the attack there wouldn’t be an end for this. Child, we should choose the way of peace, in the short of attack there may be win or loss that we all dread, but that will never justify the pain or loss of life. We should conduct peace talk with the anti-social people and terrorist, hear there request and find a solution with out loosing lives. In this world every child are not born as terrorist or anti-social, they are created by the circumstances and their familiarity, what they see and hear. That should be changed only by the love (anbu). The wish on the Money, land and post are increasing between people, this should change. The People should stop loving things like lands, money, post…. and should start loving each other’s and respects every life.

Will start loving every one and change this world as a place of peace.

End (i finished the story :)) )

HAPPY ONAM and HAPPY TEACHER’S Day

A real heroine…… in Our India
