Time Warp: Water Droplet
A water droplet falls as a sphere because of surface tension. That same tension can keep it from breaking and even allow it to bounce off a miniscule layer of air.

I will change your name.
I will change your name.
You shall no longer be called
Wounded, outcast, lonely or afraid.
I will change your name.
Your new name will be
Confidence, joyfulness, overcoming one,
Faithfulness, friend of God, one who seeks my face.

Would that I had wings to fly to you...
Expecting nothing more than the gift of seeing you go about your day,
carrying out your ordinary routine, while I remain unseen....
watching over you, as would an angel of tender compassion.
When night falls, still I would remain, and across your lips,
place the hint of a featherlight kiss to erase your worries....
replacing them with undisturbed peace.
Wishing that somewhere in the realm of dreams and imagination,
you might find a place where both spirit and the physical are allowed to meet,
if only once in a lifetime.... Where you could simply hold me...
and I, of course, would feel it.

I've learned ....
---------------------------------
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned that it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.
I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do, but to the best you can do.
I've learned that it's not what happens to people that's important. It's what they do about it.
I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe.

Raavan --- on the flip side
Raavan – a much awaited movie with great start cast and high budject, directed by the great director Mani Ratnam and music composed by the Oscar winner AR Rahaman.
Why Mani Ratnam titled the movie as RAAVAN ?
Being a villain what he wants to project about Raavan, I was so curious about this..
I’ve done some research on Raavana’s character.
Ravana – is popularly known as a famous character as a villain in Hindu historical epic, the Ramayana. He is mostly depicted negatively, who infamously kidnapped Rama's wife Sita.
Yet, I found some interesting points about his gentleman character.
Here it is: Raavan --- on the flip side
Ravana is a Brahmin, a great scholar, a capable ruler, a player of the veena and a devoted follower of Shiva, He possessed a very thorough knowledge in the 4 vedas, and 6 upanishadas, which made him as powerful as 10 scholars. He is said to have possessed the nectar of immortality, which was stored under his navel, thanks to a celestial boon by Brahma.
While often thought of mainly as the infamous 10-headed demon, Ravana was also a notable scholar of the Vedas.
Ravana was aggressive and arrogant, he was also an exemplary scholar. Under Vishrava's tutelage, Ravana mastered the Vedas, the holy books, and also the arts and ways of Kshatriyas (warriors). Ravana was also an excellent veena player and the sign of his flag had a picture of veena on it.
Ravana's having ten heads is that the heads are a symbolic way to show the world about his knowledge. He was fully aware of the contents of the six Shastras. His knowledge of the six Shastras as well as his knowledge of the four Vedas, ten Holy Scriptures in all, is by this interpretation considered the inner meaning of the belief that Ravana had ten heads. He even knew that Ram was Narayana (Lord Vishnu) himself, who had come in human form.
However, since there was no other way for him to reach to Narayana, he had to cultivate wanton wickedness, violence and hatred, and invite Ram to kill him.
Nevertheless Ravana never even touched Sita while she was being held as his hostage. He visited her regularly and asked her consent to marry him. Every time Sita declined, but there is not a single instance when Ravana misbehaved with Sita.
He plays the role of a gentleman to the hilt, only because he was cursed by Kubera's son that he would lose all his 10 heads if he forced himself on any woman.

INTER’NET” -- so fishy … !!!
When I was in my graduation, I was known Internet is just for sending mails and checking the academic results. Now I realized that Internet is Everything and Everywhere. You just name it, you will find !
You can do everything through internet , you can order food, book the tickets, plan you holidays, watching movies, listening to music, games , sports, News, entertainment stuff, web conferences, vides conferences, you can make calls, chat, emails, SMSs , blogging, etc…simultaneously you can do you work . I bet you can do everything without moving your butt at your desk.
Some years ago, there were no much awareness about the internet usage in public. Now its everywhere. You can access even through your mobile phones. To my knowledge Orkut is the first networking site. Where you can communicate with friends , scraps, sharing photos , etc., after that lot of networking sites are in the market like Facebook, Wayn, Twitter, Google’s Buzz,
These days most of the celebrities, sportsmen, politicians contacting with their fans through Twitter, most popular one now. You can’t call each and everybody using your mobile phone to keep in touch. Instead of that just tweet , it reaches to millions of users.
Tweetaholism is –Tweeple or Twerson or Twitterer is Tweeting like anything in the Twitterverse.
Oh.. I am sorry this is not C/C++/JAVA coding, it is just Twitter buzzing words.
Everybody started blogging , they are sharing their daily experiences with Netizens, lot of marketing stuff going on through blogs, Someone like Nithyanada swami is also blogging to attract the people just sake of spirituality.
Assume that you don’t have internet access and mobile phone access for atleast one day. I hope you might feel you lost communication with the world and you are away from the universe.
I donno its for good or bad, but Internet revolution is amazing. Hence Inter’NET’ … So fishy…!!!
