The Nirvana Juncture

I had always been fascinated by one painting which I had on my bedspread. It depicted the daily life of the rural people, almost similar to the Forest life. It looks somewhat similar to the cave paintings of early man which I had seen in certain text books. But this piece of art was very common in india on bed cover, cushion covers and even many book covers, many had this as it was simple and fascinating one. Then I found out, such paintings were called Warli paintings which basically used rice flour as a medium to make simple lines and geometric figures which looked amazing but still had simplicity in it. The myth t ha t if we u se complex colors and shape then only a piece of work would look great is proved wrong by these simple but beautiful paintings, which reflects the daily life and still look alive with all the forest activities. It is done through simple folk s ymbols drawn with bold, easy strokes with most minimal colors basically white since none is needed to draw a...

I had seen this article in newspaper on August 2006. Since then somehow it has always there in my mind. But after such a long time, I forgot both the artist and the name of work. Finally googling with some matching words I found the beautiful work of art. Hey, I wish I was there in Australia , when this work of art was exhibite d. I’ve never been the re, but I would had loved to watch it directly, if the pictures itself are so beautiful, how beautiful it would be really to watch. It looks too wonderful and colorful, a room full of art work by Australian artist Nike Savvas. Her art piece consisting of over 50,000 polystyrene balls at the New South Wales Art Gallery in Sydney August 3, 2006. The sculpture titled 'Atomix - Full of Love, Full of Wonder' , vibrates with wind from 10 fans and represents the different 'shimmering' colours in a hot, outback landscape. It is part of a sculpture exhibition 'Adventures with Form in Space' that was open to the p...

It's raining, it's pouring, I love sweet smell of rain as it touches the ground.And when it rain heavy with lighting zings and loud thunder storms, i just love it.The cool weather after a humid day.There have been many times, when i just get out leaving my umbrella behind, just to enjoy the rain.I love the sun, but I love it even more when it rains at night!Yes, i don't like the aftermaths of the rain too, dirty roads sometimes there is no sunlight for days...but when it rain its just fun, happiness.

Chocolate is rich in history. For centuries, chocolate has played an vital part in the history of many countries. Historically, Chocolate has been used as both a type of currency and also as an indulgent drink affordable only to royalty. Today, chocolate is enjoyed by all in a variety of forms and continues to be an important part of many cultures. Also, the list of 'The Most Expensive Chocolates' is also mentioned, i wonder what do they add to it,that its so very expensive...maybe GEMS. Did you Know Chocolate syrup was used to represent blood in the famous 45 second shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's movie, "Psycho" a scene which took 7 days to shoot. Once upon a time, money did grow on trees. Cocoa beans were used as currency by the Mayan and Aztec civilizations over 1400 years ago. When they had too much money to spend, they brewed the excess into hot chocolate drinks. The Swiss consume more chocolate per capita than any other nation on earth. Rumor has it th...

Some interesting facts i gathered from net about cars and our personality Ancient Egyptians believed in chromatherapy, the ability to heal with colors: Red stimulates mental energy, yellow stimulates the nerves, blue heals organic disorders such as colds and hay fever, etc.Colours reflect the characteristics of a person to a great deal.but do you know that the colour of your vehcile, is also a pointer to your personality.Believe it or not! A U.K insurance survey had studied 1,30,000 cars and found that there exists a strong correlation between the personality and a person's choice of his vehicle colour. Psychology studies suggest people choose their cars’ colors based on specific personality traits and how the driver wants to be seen by the world. Black cars put off an intimidating vibe, like a pair of mirrored sunglass es on a state trooper. Red cars say, “I’m fast, give me a ticket!” People who drive green cars tend to like the outdoors and are concerned about the en...

I found this while surfing the net, but its a real good one Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Leave me alone. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted. No one is listening until you make a mistake. Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else. Never test the depth of the water with both feet. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments. Bef...

We convince ourselves that life will be better once we are married, have a baby, then another.Then we get frustrated because our children are not old enough, and that all will be well when they are older.Then we are frustrated because they reach adolescence and we must deal with them. Surely we’ll be happier when they grow out of the teen years.We tell ourselves our life will be better when our spouse gets his/her act together, when we have a nicer car, when we can take a vacation, when we finally retire.The truth is that there is no better time to be happy than right now.If not, then when?Your life will always be full of challenges. It is better to admit as much and to decide to be happy in spite of it all. For the longest time, it seemed that life was about to start. Real life.But there was always some obstacle along the way, an ordeal to get through, some work to be finished, some time to be given, a bill to be paid. Then life would start.I finally came to understand that those ob...

I just love this poem - one of the best poem Moonlit Night – Tu Fu Tonight in Fu-chou my wife will be watching this moon alone. I think with Tenderness, of my far-away little ones, too young to understand about their father in Ch'ang-an. My wife's soft hair must be wet from the scented night-mist, and her white arms chilled by the cold moonlight. When shall we lean on the open casement together and gaze at the moon until the tears on our cheeks are dry? Tu Fu (or Du Fu, 712-770) is considered China's greatest poet, recognized for his lyricism, sentiment, use of precise images and metaphors, his treatment of self, ambition, war, culture, and fate. But perhaps Tu Fu's most pointed theme is the classic dilemma of the intelligent and the sensitive: service or seclusion, duty versus reclusion. [Read More] . .

" A Morning Wish". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "The sun is just rising on the morning of another day, the first day of the new year. What can I wish that this day, that this year, may bring to me? Nothing that shall make the world of others poorer, nothing at the expense of others; but just those few things which in their coming do not stop with me but touch me rather, as they pass and gather strength: A few friends who understand me, and yet remain my friends. A work to do which has real value without which the world would feel the poorer. A return for such work small enough not to tax unduly anyone who pays. A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed. An understanding heart. A sight of the eternal hills and unbelting sea, and of something beautiful the individual hand has made. A sense of humor and the power to laugh. A little leisure with nothing to do. A few moments of quiet, silent meditation. The ...

Life's a master piece we have to create.i strongly believe that,you can make your life or destroy your life,ofcourse i know no one would want to do that! My Favourite song - it just touches the soul

Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age, weight, and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them. Keep only cheerful friends . The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!) Keep lea rning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's! Enjoy the simple things Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with her/him ! The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is our self. LIVE while you are alive. Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your...

I came across this article on net, making us visualize a life in 2070. Well, If this really happens or not, i don't know. But if it, did living life would be horrible. The way we people waste water maybe we would have to pay a heavy price. I surely won't want to live a life like that. Article published in the magazine "Crónicas de los Tiempos“, in April 2002.(i've never heard of this one) This is the year 2070. I have just turned 50, but I my appearance is of somebody of 85 . I suffer from serious kidney problems, because I do not drink enough water. I'm afraid I do not have much time left to live.I am one of the oldest people in this society. I remember when I was a child of 5. Everything was very different then.There were lots of trees in the parks, houses with beautiful gardens, and I could enjoy having a shower for half an hour.Nowadays we use towels with mineral oil to clean our skin. Before, women had beautiful hair.Now, we have to sh...

Hey Why not i write somethings about india, 'Akhir bharat wasi hoon,main'.My cousin had asked me to make a presentation on India so i surfed the net and found some informations that even i didn't know.Here's a brief introduction of 'Mera Bharat Mahan' Discover India India, with an area of 3.3 million sq. km, is a subcontinent. The peninsula is separated from mainland Asia by the Himalayas. The country lies between 8° 4' and 37° 6' north of the Equator and is surrounded by the Bay of Bengal in the east, the Arabian Sea in the west and the Indian Ocean to the south. From its northernmost point on the Chinese border, India extends a good 2000 miles (3200 km) to its southern tip, where the island nation of Sri Lanka seems to be squeezed out of India like a great tear, the synapse forming the Gulf of Mannar. India's northern border is dominated mostly by Nepal and the Himalayas, the world's highest mountain chain. Following the sweeping mountains...
