A MASTER PIECE...!

This is a song from the film "Kalathur Kannamma", the first film of our ulaga nayagan-Dr.Kamal Hassan. I like this song for three reasons.. 

1. The lyric of this song is really touching (when ever i listen to it,  tears trickle down my eyes)

2.Kamal -so cute and more than anything else...wat an acting, wat an expression at such a young    age..(u must see the entire film, he'z the hero of the movie i'd say!)

3.The music, the tune, everything and really everything is so good..!

Watch the vedio once, and you will agree with me!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR.....!

Did you know that, according to legend, Valentine's Day was started to Saint Valentine, a Roman saint who was executed on February 14th, 270 A.D.? St. Valentine was killed for secretly marrying couples in defiance of an order of the Roman emperor. The emperor had forbidden marriage after Roman men began refusing conscription in order to stay home with their wives. Did you know that Cupid was the son of Venus, the Roman god of love? Cupid is a mainstay of Valentine's Day marketing campaigns, featured prominently on greeting cards and boxes of chocolates.

Did you know that exchanging Valentine's cards likely began in America as early as the 1700s? The first mass-produced Valentine's Day card was sold in the 1840s by Esther Howland, a Massachusetts native. She originally sold hand-made, lace cards for as much as $35 per card. Did you know that the oldest known Valentine's Day card is on display at a London museum? The card was sent in 1415 by the Duke of Orleans to his wife in France. The Duke was imprisoned at the time in the Tower of London. Did you know that 38 percent of Americans buy candy for their loved ones on Valentines Day? The first heart-shaped box of candy was sold in 1868 by Richard Cadbury. Did you know that chocolate has long been considered an aphrodisiac? The Aztec emperor Montezuma drank ground cocoa beans to increase his sexual prowess. In Mesoamerican marriage ceremonies, the couple shared a ritual cup of cocoa, which was believed to increase their luck in love.

Did you know that the red rose was believed to be the favorite flower of Venus, the Roman god of love and the father of Cupid?

Did you know that on Valentine's Day, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell applied for a patent on his invention, the telephone, which he called "an improvement in telegraphy"? If you can't be with your loved one on Valentine's Day, you can "reach out and touch someone" -- thanks to Mr. Bell. Did you know that the expression "wear your heart on your sleeve" comes from a Middle Ages Valentine's Day tradition? Young men and women would draw the name of their Valentine from a bowl. They would wear their selected name on their sleeves for one week. Did you know that Valentine's Day was first declared an official holiday by King Henry VIII of England in 1537? Today Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14th in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Mexico, France and Australia.

PEEL 50 - the smallest car in the world !

Did you ever know ...............................?

      Peel engineering limited was established in the 1950s and was best known for the production of P50 and trident motor cars.

The P50 still holds the record for being the smallest 

 production car in the world.

At the peak of production Peel Engineering employed 40 people. The company started off engineering fibreglass motorcycle fairings before moving into motor parts and boat hulls.

The P50 was designed and built by Cyril Cannell and Henry Kissack, and launched at the 1962 Earls Court Motorcycle show.

now...that's something interesting..isn't it??

THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS........

        Here is an ecxellent piece of stupid joke ( i dont dare call it a joke but then i'm sure you wil certainly laugh at it). This i actually recieved as an sms from one of my pals who is usually good at these stuffs-the witty or rather insane smsing..

  

The sms short story goes like this (story writer:sudarshan) :

  Story line: How a crow can damage your life 

There is a power-cut all of a sudden, and having nothing else to do, suda alias sudarshan falls asleep. There are too many disturbances around-noises-phone bell rings- mom gossips- and gossips- and gossips- grandmom making noises - birds chirping- kids playing - suda(the hero of this story) lost his cool and kicked the bero in rage. leg damage...TENSION all over!

Now where does the crow come into picture...? here's where : the crow bit some wire in transformer, the transformer burst..leading to this power-cut...crow died...suda cried...!!

MORAL OF THE STORY IS : Don't sleep on afternoons, especially during power cuts!!

    well, now, i can see that you are wondering if suda is insane or it is me who really is...to post this stupid sms here and call it a joke. But you know, at times such small msgs can make you laugh when you are stressed or depressed. I was just not having a good time this afternoon wen this msg just made me laugh and i decided to share this moment with my blog buddies. And as this story teller usually quotes... 

"TAKE IT LITE" !!!

STRESS MANAGEMENT

Stress - This is the word that spoils everything - career,relationship,friendship etc. I had shared my views with regard to stress management, hope you'll find this useful.Stress is a psychological state that affects the immune system.

In this fast moving world, there is connection between stress and vulnerability to viral infections such as colds is widely recognized. For example, cold,fever & flu rates increase among students during exam periods. Can you find why? The reason is due to stress which keeps down the immune system.Keeping a positive outlook on life can help to overcome the weakening of the immune system. Stress develops depression. Depression affects learning and memory.

So it is essential to manage the stress. Stress can be managed through a healthy lifestyle, including physical exercise, humour which keeps in control the blood level flow which gets increased to brain,muscles and heart due to stress. Men and women handle stress in different dimensions. While men tend to isolate themselves from others, women will turn to relatives/friends for help to get rid of the stress.




Some quick tips & tricks to overcome this stress:
1. Humor therapy - Keep yourself a sense of humour.
2. Listening to your favourite music which can calm your mind.
3. Exercising daily - in the early morning(Physical exercise helps to strengthen brain cells).
4. Cultivate the habit of learning new skills daily.
5. Commitment to listening plus to teach something you know.
6. You shouldn't make/feel yourself depressed as depressing harms brain function.
7. Also you need to be in your weight -not under/over weight which helps you to think faster (See the people in japan/china who are neither under nor over weight and just see their working potential - japan -2nd in economy, china =hardware)..Slim a bit to think faster.
8. Just try to greet back the people whoever greet you, don't always expect someone to greet you, that shows you are not easy moving. Include some good soft skills within you to improve your career skills.
9. Think before you start anything so that you needn't stress yourself later. Strategically thinking & Visualizing - very important ingredients of life.
10. Proper sleep is essential for acquiring new knowledge and learning new skills. So sleep proper to reach top levels.Overall if you try to implement full-brain engagement then there is no room for stress.
11.yoga,prayers & aerobics are some of the best stress management therapies.

I welcome your points/views/feedback on the same.
thank you!
