Eye of the Tiger

This is my kid sister's all time favourite song. I also like it but I prefer listening to Hindi music.


There is thrill in almost everything that is worth experiencing. Thrill is quite a driving force I suppose.


I have this bad habit of telling people about my favorite lines whether anyone cares or not. Here it goes:


Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight them to keep them alive


And yeah always choose to be the last known survivor who stalks his preys in the night. I guess there's nothing more fun :P The idea itself is so full of thrills!


Guys, I hope you all have a good weekend! Bye for now!

I have power of life & death over you!

‘So long as I am here you are quite incapable of killing yourself, no matter how much you want to. I have the power of life & death over you!’

‘But you won’t always be there,’ said the boy with an odd look.

‘That’s where you are wrong! I shall always be there.’

He had a little thrill of pleasure. He had caught a sudden flash of curiosity in the lovely hazel eyes.

‘Suppose I do want to kill myself, what’s that got to do with you! You don’t even know who I am!’

‘Just a little mania of mine – as you said yourself,’ replied Daniel jovially. ‘I happen to have a passion for preventing people from doing what they want to do.’

A look of kindliness came into his eyes: ‘Are things really as bad as all that?’

The boy made no reply.

Jean-Paul Sartre

(Iron in the Soul)

When you’re being suicidal, you don’t ever come across anyone asking this question: ‘Are things really as bad as all that?’ If anyone would, that can surely make a hell of a difference. People only judge you; 99 % don’t have time to understand as to why someone wants to kill himself or has no interest in staying alive. Of course there are reasons & they could be valid. Ask anyone who is thinking about contemplating suicide. In fact people around you even make it all the more difficult for you to go on as they all know how you must lead your life. Even best people don’t miss the chance of jeering at you, which is so very low & insensitive.

It’s not just mental illness that could make you suicidal; there are variety of other reasons that also make people commit suicide. What I find ironic is that lots of terminally ill people don’t want to die & yet they die. On the other hand, there are people who don’t want to live at all & they take life for granted & finish it.

I used to harm myself. There were times when I took 30 sedatives & I woke up the next day; it was such a big time disappointment. I did that a couple of times in my early 20s. But when I had my near death experience, my perspective changed completely. I believe I needed to experience that sort of trauma to wake up. Life is certainly not to be taken for granted. We must give it a chance. I think I survived death, cause I know chronic depression very well & I’m telling you can fight this illness. Suicide is never the answer no matter how bad things are. While reading about cancer patients last night, I felt really bad, cause there was a time when I thought nothing of life.

Anyway instead of judging the victims, we need to be more supportive. You know even if one person doesn’t commit suicide cause of your moral support, that is definitely 100 % success.

Talk to someone you can trust. There are people who understand even the most impossible & unbelievable things. Believe me there are such people. Don’t treat yourself as shit. At least go till the end & find out. Choose life, not death! So many don’t have that choice. You know what bad experiences are trials to make us better people. Tragic happenings are eye-openers as they tell us good things are waiting for us. Meeting horrible people & getting stabbed in the back is essential for growth. Only then we value the ones who truly care about us & accept us with all our faults.

And I’m kind of tired of typing now :P

Britain's oldest married couple join Twitter to give relationship advice

That is so sweet. Bless them both for being so kind! Who actually gives a damn as to what kind of relationships issues you have these days. I never thought I would see a loyal couple that would make me think love is never too old in this lifetime.

Anyhow, Lionel & Ellen Buxton have joined Twitter & they hope to help solve the problems of young couples. They have been together for 82 years & now they are willing to share their secrets of a happy marriage with others.

Users of the website are invited to tweet them about their problems & they will tweet their replies on Valentine’s Day.

A wedding video company, Shoot It Yourself, has arranged for the couple to use Twitter to answer questions about how to make love last.

Oil depiction of Romeo and Juliet voted best in Britain

This painting of Romeo & Juliet, 1884, by Frank Bernard Dicksee has been voted the most romantic artwork in Britain. The couple is sharing a kiss after their wedding night & the sad part is that they don’t realize it’s going to be their last kiss.

It’s really a beautiful painting. To some extent, it does make you believe in love. You could feel pure emotion that is missing now. If you’re very young, it might struck you dumb with the feeling of love. I mean you may even think about falling in love. I think I might have looked at it this way when I was a teenager.

The painting hangs in Southampton City Art Gallery & it received 71 per cent votes in the Art Fund survey to mark Valentine’s Day.

Art critic Godfrey Barker said: ‘It creates the impression death is close but love will never die. Romance is a dream that still lives in the hearts of millions.’

Experts believe the painting is popular to this day as we, human, still crave for ‘passion & faithfulness.’ I totally agree with them. We always crave for what is lacking & this kind of loyalty & passionate love is beyond our reach.

Google invents algorithm to find the most amusing clip

Their algorithm has declared that a video of a cat appearing to say ‘no’ over and over again – called No No No No Cat - is currently the funniest.

The video only has just over 60,000 hits, which is small as compared to the others, but Google judges a video by the comments left by users. People react to hilarious videos in a couple of way. They have designed features to quantify the degree of emphasis on words associated with amusement in viewer comments.

I’m so sorry to say but this invention is, by all means, pretty bogus. This specific video of a poor cat cannot be called funny. It’s obvious the cat is scared. You can’t see the ears in the entire clip. In the background, you could hear people making fun of this no, no, no, no thing. He’s also seen hissing. These people have been scaring the cat & they thought this no, no, no, no is funny.

If my cat behaves in this kind of manner, I would be seriously worried. I guess any other genuine cat lover too would be concerned about this behavior.

I can’t see anything hilarious about this sick video of a cat who is emotionally abused by weirdos. When I read about it, I was pretty much excited but when I saw the video, I really didn’t like it. Moreover, my cats too couldn’t ignore the sound of a distressed cat. This wasn’t normal behavior of a cat nor was it funny from any angle.

The Scar Project

I was quite touched when I read about the Scar Project. It has been started by fashion photographer David Jay & he has been shooting for the project for almost five years. Actually it’s a series of portraits of young breast cancer victims. In fact, women from America and across the world have traveled to New York to be photographed by David Jay. The photos have been made into a book, which is available at Amazon. These are incredibly moving & disturbing portraits that force you to think about the ugly side of life. We tend to take life for granted & it’s really difficult to face it when calamity hits you like a tornado. We cannot even imagine what the victims go through & I agree that breast cancer is a lot more than pink ribbon. Only the victims know how bad it is.

The mission of the SCAR Project is to raise public awareness of early-onset breast cancer, raise funds for breast cancer research & to help young survivors see their scars & experiences through an honest lens.

The project has changed the views of David Jay on life immensely. One of his dear friends Paulina was diagnosed with the disease & she was forced to have a mastectomy within two weeks of her diagnosis. And this personal contact with the disease made him turn his camera away from the fashion models. In fact, this month also marks the first death anniversary of his girlfriend Caroline.

David says, "We as humans tend to procrastinate doing the things we need to do in life. We put things off, look the other way, surrender to our insecurity and fears. But Mother Nature will always have her way with us . . . . forcing our hand. . . . forcing us to live up to our own true potential. You can choose to live up to it . . . or die mired in it. This I know for sure, both from my own life and from photographing these women."

Moreover he added, ‘The Scar Project is not about taking beautiful pictures of women with breast cancer but rather about taking honest pictures of women with breast cancer. I’m not going to just show half the story —that everything’s going to be fine and these girls have breast cancer but they’ll just go on with their lives—because that’s not the case. I wish that was the case but the reality is that some of these girls are dying and it’s important to have their story out there as well because that is the reality of the disease. As difficult as it is to look at the portraits in the gallery, it’s important that they are there. Ultimately, The SCAR Project is not really about breast cancer. It’s about self-acceptance, compassion, love, humanity. It’s about accepting all that life offers us . . . all the beauty . . . all the suffering too . . . with grace, courage, empathy and understanding.’

It’s indeed a noble cause. He has been raising funds for breast cancer research & outreach programs. We wish David Jay all the best!

The Scar Project

Sheyla Hershey’s boobs act as airbag in a car crush

Sheyla Hershey, 32, is the woman who held the record for world’s largest implants & recently she walked away from a horrible car crush after her huge breasts served as airbag. Now all those who have been laughing at her need to know that nothing is useless. At least her huge breasts are good for something!!!

'I think my breasts saved my life,' she told Barcroft Media. 'The accident was bad and my boobs are sore, but they protected the rest of me.'

I’m sure you guys want to know the details. Sheyla was driving home near Houston, Texas, after a Super Bowl party on Sunday when she crashed into a tree. Although she has been charged with drunk driving but she claims that she has never drink alcohol in her life. However, she takes legal medications for her bipolar depression, headaches & backaches & that could have caused the confusion. That makes a bit of sense but she never had a drink in her life is something hard to believe.

I’m also wondering & please don’t get me wrong. I have that kind of mind. How many men would want to be her bra?

Anyhow, once upon a time, she had 38MMM breasts but they were reduced owing to a life threatening infection. She felt so empty without her king-size mountains that she arranged to have another operation. She didn’t listen to her husband & the doctors that she could have another infection. She went to Mexico for the surgery. She had 2,500cc of saline liquid implanted into her breasts, before having more saline gradually introduced in her hometown of Vitoria, Brazil.

'I increased slowly over a two-month period and now my breasts are back at 4,300cc of liquid and are 38KKK,' Hershey said.

And the thing is that the lady still wants more surgery this year to take her boobs back up to 38MMM. She’s so obsessed with maintaining her Guinness World Record. Actually an infection set in her when she had her 30th breast enlargement operation & she had an emergency operation in June 2010.

'Not having my breasts was killing me, I didn't know if I could make it through 2012 without them,' Sheyla Hershey said last November.

'My breasts had become part of me and I was deformed without them. It is a miracle. I never thought I would have my breasts back again.'

Anyhow, this Sunday her boobs protected her from a bad accident & this is nothing short of a miracle for a person who believes strongly in big boobs. We need to spread the word that big boobs are life savers. They can transform into an airbag in an accident. But do bear in mind that legal medications can make you do terrible things to your body. Be careful.
