The critter in my shoe

It poisoned me! In a delayed hypersensitivity response I started to suffer with swollen legs and an intense pain in the spine, tiredness, my skin was hurting and I was overheating! Man that critter got me good!

A surprise in my shoe!!!!!

This morning I am rushing for school so I ask mummy to grab my shoes, I usually keep them outside because I am too lazy to carry them inside, I didn't put on my socks as yet and I slipped my foot into my shoe and something moved against my big toe!
I screamed and threw the shoe then looked inside and a lizard was looking at me!

Wore very uncomfortable shoes to school today because of that and I keep on feeling this weird sensation on my toe :S

Bird flu: A sign of the end times?

Saw this in my e-mail:
"The Bird Flu or deadly H5N1 virus has grabbed the headlines again. In the past few weeks the dreaded disease has infected poultry virtually all over the world-and now it's infecting humans! Could this global pestilence be a sign of the End Times? " Left Behind Prophecy
I hate propaganda like this that just tries to freak out a population.

If one would read a tiny little bit, of course not! Google immune system people and read a bit.
Sure let the government stop molecular research which could provide a vaccine and lets obey the laws of one particular sect right...Famous quote: God helps those who help themselves, so what should we do? Cower and hope that bird flu disappears or try to understand learn more about it so that we can defeat it.

In the world of viruses and bacteria they are a pretty competitive bunch, probably the immunization for it would come from being afflicted with a less virulent critter.
there is always going to be a part of the population that will not be affected. So in the mean time stop freaking out about doomsday and try to learn more about this disease.
jeezums think! Did the plague wipe us out?

The little secret to our survival lies in our ability to mutate just like these strange viruses.
for the sect that is banning evolution theory, you might want to look this over before you bash it and demand that it not be taught.

Thinking...

"When one sees the same person everyday..they wind up becoming part of that person's life and then they want the person to change. If someone isn't what others want them to be then others become angry.
everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives but none about his or her own."---Paulo Coelho The Alchemist

This one little paragraph struck me quite suddenly and then I thought about cultures and society and how much I despise it, not actually despising it for what it is but the way in which it tries to force the mind to think a certain way and act a certain way.
I wish to be able to see the world through the un-tainted eyes of a newborn.

2006 Oscar award Best Movie Score

After listening to certain pieces from each movie that was nominated I truly believe that Memoirs of a Geisha ( Sayuris Theme) should have gotten the award. The music was phenomenal, and the pieces were refreshing with their originality. There was a faint asian melody flowing perfectely on a western note, rising above at certain instances to surprise the listener then peeking back into the blanket of the western strings. Listen to the piece and you will see what I mean (not sayuris theme though, but close)

Perfect Match

What is for you is for you.
you will know your perfect match when you find them because you will be with them:D

yesterday I was telling my mom that how I will stay single forever since I cannot seem to find anyone who understands me, her answer was simple yet made the world of sense.
simply well make yourself be understood then. You have identified the problem now fix it.
at first I was a little annoyed at this answer because I thought that it meant changing who I am, until mummy explained that it just meant trying to explain where I am not understood not just expecting the world to know.
Mother really do know best, don't they.


An excerpt from the song " The Origin Of Love" written by Stephen Trask

"...Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
That's the pain,Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
So we wrapped our arms around each other,
Trying to shove ourselves back together.
We were making love,
Making love.
It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was the sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
It's the story ofThe origin of love.
That's the origin of love."

Tolerance

I just saw this in my 'daily jewish wisdom' quote of the day, 'Getting angry is like worshipping idols.'- Midrash LeOlam

See I got this quote from that because I suscribed to 'daily jewish wisdom', I am Hindu and I suscribe to this, at least I have the tolerance in learning about others faiths and not bashing them. I wonder if the author of this quote realises that intolerance just may be a greater sin than idol worship.
when did Hindus prosecute the Jews? I think that was ridiculous, it happened because there was a complete intolerant moron in power, so why should they bash my faith?

here is a quote that one of my friends sent me:

Masjid dha de, mandir dha de, dha de jo kucch dainda Par kisi da dil na dhain, Rab dilan vich rehnda..

Tear down the mosque and the temple; break everything in sight But do not break a person’s heart, it is there that God resides -Bulleh Shah

breaking religious barrier with friendship, myself and a group of arabic friends are discussing God, two of them insist that infidels will have to suffer the wrath of hell, the third my very close fried (muslim) disagrees. She comments that she has seen me praying and will tell anyone that we pray to the same God, also that in knowing me she cannot understand why anyone would ever believe that I would go to hell. We have had ups and downs this friend and I but no matter what I see her as my sister, destroying all barriers of religion, race and culture!


Might surprise all of you who think that Hindus are pagans but this is where we actually do believe that God resides, even if you are Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christain, Atheist, Black, White Blue, Yellow, etc...

Wouldn't it be great if we can accept each other for the person they are instead of forcing our veiws and beliefs of what is right and what is wrong on them. Bash idol worship sure, did they even take the time to learn a little bit of Hinduism and to even know why do we keep idols? Isn't worshipping the Torah, Bible or Quran a form of worship or can I just burn one without any arguments ?
Look at oneself first before making judgements.
If they are the chosen disciples of God then how come I still exist and we are still made up of the same basic 4 base pairs in our DNA, or do they have an extra base I don't know of ? How come neither of us can fly?
Fire wouldn't discrimiate between an idol worshipper or a non idol worshipper, ever thought about that? Nor does the sun.
many often say that Hindus worship many Gods...please read the following verses carefully!

Though I am eternal, imperishable and the Lord of all beings; yet I (voluntarily) manifest by controlling my own material nature using my Yoga Maya.
Whenever there is a decline of dharma and the rise of adharma, o Arjuna, then I manifest (or incarnate ) myself. I incarnate from time to time for protecting the good, for transforming the wicked and for establishing Dharma, the world order.
Bhagavad Gita (4.06-08)

V for vendetta

As the name implies a Vendetta is a blood fued, however there are several other subtle and some not so subtle implications concerning current Government in the plot.
my comment:
YOU GOTTA WATCH IT!!!
V seeks his revenge and he uses the strategy of Guy Faukes in the movie (you'll see this in the very beginning his mask represents Faukes so c'mon its not a spoiler) but the role of Evey (Natalie Portman) is crucial in understanding the 'cross plot'. This is really an awesome movie, a bit long but the plot keeps you chained to your seat and the action while gruesome is exciting and the music is fantastic.
I have so much to say but I don't wanna spoil it for others so I'll continue this when I re-watch it on DVD release.

putting my foot in my mouth!

Today in Biotech class we crushed fruit flies in order to obatin their DNA, now after the intial crushing I had made my group into an assemly line where they would bring their tubes with crushed flies and I would then add lysis buffer. So after adding buffer for everyone, I was waiting on this kid John so getting impatient , standing with lysis buffer still waiting , I blurted out

'Open up your Fly, I am ready for you!'

John was caught off guard, class ruptured into laughter and yep I was red!
