'This is what is called friendship'........(Strictly meant for Kidz- Others Plz ignore ...... !)

[ like wen we have children everyone will call them "Eleph-Ants"- he.....he.....!!]


Once upon a time there lived two great friendz - David (An Elephant ) & Sherry (An Ant )......Both where born and brought up in the same Village and went to the same School for studies.......They loved Swimming and Golf. As Elephant was good in Swimming ,So was Ant with Golf. They used to play near the lake -side every evening.....and also used to share there fun and feelings each other.
Once they planned to go for a  long a bike-ride along the Valley after the school was closed for their X'mas holidays. Apart from playing Golf, Ant (sherry) was pretty gud with Cycling.....both had only one Cycle and So Ant decided to pedal the Cycle with keeping Elephant on the front bar.......
They went thru the Valley enjoying the ride.
All on a sudden a truck came from the opposite side of the U-turn and  hit the comrades badly.
By God's Sake,Sherry was not' injured as he was wearing a helmet. 
But Our Poor Elephant was badly wounded and blood started oozing out from his head . He was taken to the hospital immediately as our little Ant called for an ambulance. 
Elephant was taken to the Intensive care unit and was given the  first - Aid. But, Surprisingly Ant was also asked to lay on the bed beside him even though he was free from all injuries........
Frienz , you know why..........?.
B-coz Our humble and the Kind-hearted Ant granted whole -heartedly to donate blood to his beloved friend - 'David' .          
Seeing his friend's benevolence, tears rolled down on David's Cheeks......he hugged his little friend Sherry and wept bitterely .
David pledged that he will never forget his friend's on-time service and thus they lived as  true-friends forever.........!

An OMG Fact -

The original name of Bank of America was Bank of Italy.



Amadeo Peter Giannini started Bank of Italy in San Francisco in 1904. The bank was designed for the hardworking immigrants that the big banks refused to serve. After a merger he changed his bank's name to Bank of America. After acquiring Merrill Lynch in 2008, Bank of America is now the world largest wealth manager.

Going Green................!

This is a traditional Kerala dish prepared by the Malayalees or the  mostly called 'Mallu's-for the Occassions like Marriages and for the very Supreme traditional Cum harvest festival Known as 'Onam'.It is futile to celebrate Onam and other blessed occassions without a 'Sadhya'(A totally sumptuous,vegetarian dish) in Kerala.It should be noticed that the dish is apparently delicious as well as nutritious.(The Picture shown here is a Mangalorean Konkani Sadhya ,not much different from the Kerala version).The base of a Sadhya is boiled Rice of any particular quality accompanied by the inevitable Pappadam,Pazham and a mouth-watering Payasam.(we guys call it as 'The Pay'-Sung' juzt 4 a style ).
The So-called Sadhya is primarily served on Plantain/Banana leaves.....(ie...,a Sadhya won't be a Sadhya if itz not served on Plantain leaves for sure....).The above said Pappadam is a deep fried crispy wafer similar to the Paappad of Punjab/North India prepared from a typical flour and baking soda.
Payasam is a kerala version of the North Indian Kheer.It can be prepared with Vermicelli,Rice Ada, Jaggery and it has innumerable versions for preparation.I should say that itz simply drool-worthy,mouth-watering, Eye-storming etc....etc....etc......or 'ditto'......'ditto'........'ditto'....Titti- Ta....Tara-rum-pum,especially the one called PaalPayasam or an Ada Pradhaman.
A Sadhya won't be complete without some fried banana Chips or Sharkara Upperi and it itsel looks quite colorfull with its 'side touches' like Pachhadi,Kichhadi,Avial,Beet-root Thoran, Inji Curry (Ginger-Chutney), Chammanthi, Beans/Achinga Thoran, Payar Thoran and The Awesome 'Mambhazha Pulissery'(A Sweet/Sour Mango delight). It should also be accompanied by Parippu Curry (lentil-Curry),Sambhaar and the fuzzy-butter milk (consisting of Ginger,Green-Chillies and Shallots).A Pinch of Salt  and the 'Tingy-Tangy'-Mango Pickle is kept on  the left cor'ner of the banana-leaf.The Sadhya concludes with a drooling Paalpayasam or an Ada-Pradhaman with bollie and a long blurp.

Extracts from The Holy Qur'an -

Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion, and He is over all things competent

[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving ....

[And] who created seven heavens in layers. You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?


                          Surat Al- Mulk , Verse 1-3.

Leave right now........

I'm here just like I said
Though its breaking every rule I've ever made
My racing heart is just the same
Why make it strong to break it once again?


And I'd love to say I do
Give everything to you
But I can never now be true
So I say...


I think I'd better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker


Somebody better show me out
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now


I'm here so please explain
Why you're opening up a healing wound again
I'm a little more careful
Perhaps it shows
But if I lose the highs, at least I'm spared the lows

Now I tremble in your arms....
What could be the harm
To feel my spirit calm
So I say..

I think I'd better leave right now

Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker

Somebody better show me out
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now

I wouldn't know how to say
How good it feels seeing you today
I see you've got your smile back
Like you say your right on track
But you may never know why
Once bitten twice is shy
If I'm proud perhaps I should explain
I couldn't bear to lose you again


Yes I will.......

Night Out in the Urban Desert -



Itz alwayz nice to see the flashy roads after a rain especially during the night time.
but commuters should be quite careful about their driving as the possibility for
mishaps and accidents are pretty high at these times.
Some love short drives while it is drizzling and some hate it.
but it is relatively dangerous to have drives while their is a heavy down pour.
It is also a key fact that majoriy of the accidents are reported during the rainy dayz.
Anyhow no one can decline the reality that they love to have a side walk thru the country side with
their loved ones when the rain is sprinkling from the skies.....
