Diwali went nice

My favorite festival of Lights Diwali was not bad, I enjoy as much. I have been to my old house a day before Diwali, had exchanged diwali wishes with my uncle’s workshop friends and call my cousin for Diwali. Next we went to the Besant nagar Beach to watch sky amuse of Firecrackers, but rarely saw some. On Saturday wake up not early only after 7.30 and get ready by 8.30 to watch special programs on TV. I was excite to watch the new songs, which I hear in recent days. The Trisha’s interview with models was cool. Think already most of the young people have cut a line in there whiskers like Simbu in the Vallavan, let we can see the increase of this style in young soon like my brother!
It was continue till Vijay’s interview with children, by eating specials food and my favorite Gulabjamun with by cousin. We left out by 6.30pm to burst crackers. There were non-to join with us to burst crackers, every one enjoys on their own, some when to their terrace and some left to their homeland. So cousin, dad &mom where with me, we left Walas, Outs and little sound crackers. Cousin was disappointed there were no explosions to make the place much paper. There were been continue colorful sky fireworks coming form the near multistoried buildings and bungalows. I don’t like to sit inside the house and watch TV when the city was lighting by the crackers, so went to Beach at 9.pm and watching the sky till 10 the govt’s time for bursting crackers. The beach was less crowd think people who cant buy the costly sky fireworks, where their to enjoy it.

Like how I feel happy on diwali, on Sunday I feel alone and very bored not even interest to see Computer or TV. I won’t like to be alone on Sundays, if there was bore film I visit the chat on net, but this Sunday non-was on line and the film was also bore. So again asked dad to take me out, where to go? the same beach, but Sunday the beach was much crowded. I had a doubt is that a beach or an exhibition because many people where coming in mini bus and autos, there were many small small food shops has grown on the shore. Been there for some time and left home and slept early.

Sweet Deepavali

Deepavali is near; we can hear the bomb sounds in every corner in the evenings and night. Every shopping malls are fully occupied by peoples wave, the shoppers went to the high of discounts, the television are full of cloths and domestic thing AD’s. People started greeting there loved ones, even we also started to greet each other’s. Cinema fans are advancing booking to their favorite movies; the television channels are in front to give us different programs. As the festival was in weekends there must be much plans how to celebrate the diwali. I too have decided to visit the beach a night before the diwali to watch the firework on the sky. This is the first time I am going to celebrate diwali in a flat, let me see if some neighbor people will also join with us!

I like to recall my childhood memories of diwali, think I was in UKG or in 1st Std when I realize the diwali. I used to sit in front of the cycle and dad pedal me with him to the nearest cracker shop; it’s not a shop, a palm leaf tent where an old woman used to sale Clay pots, when ever I leave from school I used go inside the tent and come out on the other side to reach our street easily, she will not scold me, because mom will buy pot form her. Dad buys me only small crackers like flowerpot, changu charka, wire sparkles and needle crackers. I just carry the small cover happily to the home and used to arrange the crackers in our cupboard near my dress, mom used to warn me not to keep near the cloths, but who hear her, At least 5 to 6 times I will arrange the crackers every day. Those days I don’t have any friend’s or brothers (my bro was 1 year old that time), so no one to fight with me to pick the crackers from me.

In the morning dad used to nip the wick of the cracker and one by one I will place it in a platform and fire it and go inside the house and close my ears. By closing my ears with the hand of cracker’s medicine, my ears will be turned into black. In evening mom lit a lamp out side near the front door, I used to burn the wire sparkles one by one and rotate to see the design. I really fear to fire the flowerpots and chackra, I just enjoy watching form a distance, when dad fire. I allot some cracker from that and burst on the Karthikai Thipam. This year I have planed to avoid over sound crackers, and buy colorful fireworks, which bring much lighter to the night. My hear full Diwali wishes to every one. (will be update after diwali....)

Specail News

Breathing Earth
The recently launched Breathing Earth.net shows in 'real-time' people being born, dying and the amount of carbon being emitted using the most up-to-date data available. You can also find facts about each country by hovering over them.

Smallest Horse In The World
Standing just 17 inches tall, she is never going to be a champion show-jumper.In fact, the tiny mare is so small she would struggle to leap over a bucket. But such things are of little concern for feisty Thumbelina who has just been officially recognized as the world's smallest horse. The five-year-old received the title from the Guinness Book of Records after her astonished owners realized she was never going to grow any bigger. She was born on a farm in America to a couple that specializes in breeding miniature horses. These popular show horses usually weigh about 250lb and reach a height of 34 inches when they are fully grown. At birth she weighed 8lb - the weight of many newborn babies - and eventually she grew to a mere 60lb. Because her legs are proportionally smaller than her body and her head, she has to wear orthopedic fittings to straighten them a lot of the time. She expects to live up to the age of 17 instead of 35 years of normal horse. The tiny mare has become sometime of a celebrity in her hometown in America.

October 7, 2005 has marks the 30th anniversary of the one of the hottest consumer electronic products in the world today the digital camera. In 1975, the world’s first digital photograph was taken at a Kodak lab in Rochester, NY, USA, in an event that preceded the Compact Disc, the Personal Computer and the Internet. In 1974 Steven Sasson, an engineer at Kodak’s Applied Electronics Research Center, was tasked with devising an electronic handheld still camera. The following year his first working prototype weighing 8.5 pounds, powered by 16 AA batteries and recording images on a cassette took the first ever-digital still camera photograph. That’s Steve, the world’s first digital camera and the world’s first ever-digital photograph on the picture above.


Thief Burn On Cross
A suspected thief screams as villagers set fire to his legs after stripping him and tying him to a cross in Pelileo Grande, Ecuador, 75 miles south of Quito. Mario Quishpe had been caught stealing and locals took summary justice. A priest, along with other villagers, extinguished the flames and he was taken to hospital where his burns were treated.

Huge Billboard (click the pic to see big)
They say everything is big in Texas, but when compared to Dubai, the Longhorn state is a midget. Courtesy of the emirate, we have seen the world's biggest theme park, shopping malls and even indoor artificial ski fields. Now comes the Middle East's largest billboard ad. Weighing in at a whopping 400 meters long and standing 20 meters high at its highest point, the billboard is promoting one of the cities development projects named 'The Lagoons’. Using the more than 2,880 hours of manpower, the billboard is positioned in a marketing traffic gold mine on the infamous Sheikh Zayed Road.
