Growth is the only evidence of life..

If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change. If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change. - John A. Simone, Sr.

Well, I am getting a little restless these days and a change is in order now. I'm "staying the course" (to use a Bushism) for now and working towards that change....Hoping that things look up in time for the new year. There are some photographs waiting to be posted, which I'll do once I'm back on track. Wish me luck! :)

B'Day thoughts

Someone has said it better..

The Passing Years
Life passes by so fast, Lord, I know I'm sure to miss A vital part unless you keep Reminding me of this. There's so much that I want to do, A lot I've left undone, So many plans discarded, And a few I've not begun. Life passes by so fast, Lord, How often I've been told, It always does around the time That we are growing old. For everything a season Is wise as well as just, But I had rather wear me out, Than fall apart with rust.	Life passes by so fast, Lord, The days, the months, the years, Lord keep a smile upon my lips, And blot away the tears. Teach me to lean upon Your arm, When pain and sickness strike, To tell the facts from fancies, That sometimes look alike. Life passes by so fast, Lord, And yet how kind You are, In granting me the precious years, That I have had so far. So let the days grow shorter, The darkest shadows part, But put the wrinkles on my face, ...And never on my heart
(By Grace E. Easley)

Find the man!

Locate a man's face in the picture of coffee beans above.

Researchers have concluded that if you find the man in 3 seconds then the right half of your brain is better developed than most people.

If you find the man between 3 seconds and 1 minute, then the right half of your brain is developed normally.

If you find the man between 1 minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly and you need to eat more protein.

If you have not found the man even after 3 minutes, the right half of your brain is a mess, and the only advice is to look more for these types of exercises to make that part of the brain stronger.

The man really is there. In fact, once you find him, you cannot miss him afterwards.. Let me know :)

Amazing Photographs!

1.5 Giga Pixel photograph !!! The photographer who did a 720 megapixel photo of Sydney by night earlier this year has now done a 1500 megapixel photo of Machu Picchu. The level of details is amazing - even the expressions on people's faces as you zoom in!

While on that theme, this one on the left was sent to me some time ago. This is a National Geographic photograph of camels in the desert taken from directly above the animals at the time of the sunset. If you look carefully, you can see that the white specs are the camels and what you see prominently are their shadows!




A rather grim warning to the smokers!

On the right is actually an on-the-ceiling poster in the smoking room of an IT firm in Mumbai. But the 2 guys don't seem to have got the message :)
