A Jewish Blog

This (http://shomernegiah.blogspot.com/) is a very well written blog by a Jewish woman. I am not saying this because she has the same black and white color combination in the blog as I do.

Some times when one comes across a blog or an article one feels like getting to know the other person better. This is one such blog. As they say, the writing is straight from the heart, honest. I am quoting below from her FAQ.
"
(Comment from Reader:) I am sick of your whining. Get a life.

(Author's Repy:) Like I have said I do not walk around whining about being celibate in my real life. This blog is the only really open forum I have for whining. If it bothers you then you do not have to read it!

This made me roll in laughter.

Engineering And Bridges And Romans

I came across these two posts. http://science.howstuffworks.com/engineering/structural/10-roman-engineering-tricks1.htm and http://science.howstuffworks.com/engineering/structural/10-amazing-bridges.htm.

This post is dedicated to a man I admire but never got around to meeting.

Shangri La

A friend gave me this link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4jZ1UFR_Wc). As a rule I dislike advertisements. 

This ad reminded me of some friends. Like Leeloo, Femmo and Guruji. Hmm.

Character Story

A friend gave me this story (http://tradeinniftyonly.blogspot.com/2011/10/he-needed-meand-i-stayed.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FuxfD+%28Just+Nifty%29).

Old Faces

My friend sent me this picture and I am gaga about it. Nanda, Waheeda, Helen and Sadhana from left to right. 

What is surprising in this is Sadhana. Her face is very long. Her hair on her forehead made the head smaller. If you compare her face with Waheeda's (the latter has a broad forehead), Sadhana still has a longer face. Maybe Sadhana used her hairstyle to smallen her face. 

Would never have recognized Sadhana now. What causes the younger Helen to look sleezy? Her mouth or her hair? 

No wonder women want to look younger. What else do they bring to the table, if not their attractiveness!!!

Siberian Tiger.

A friend gave me this link (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2043165/Russias-Royev-Ruchey-Zoos-rare-baby-Amur-tiger-looks-impressed.html#ixzz1ZLTdgv2t). Wonderful.

Sari And Hilton

Paris Hilton in a sari, (http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/Photo_gallery/paris_hilton_saree_100711103530.jpg/). She has not draped herself well in this. It looks like someone wrapped a cloth on a box.

See this one for elegance http://www.luxurylaunches.com/entry_images/0911/23/Paris-Hilton-Swarovski-studded-sari.jpg?maxX=550&maxY=265.

This picture

This is a photo of Indian women in some dress (http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=TOINEW&BaseHref=TOICH/2011/09/27&PageLabel=23&EntityId=Pc02313&ViewMode=HTML). I am still trying to figure out what it is. I supposed the Indian women would refer to what they are wearing as being ethnic and chic. Eeeeeek.

Kidnap And Ransom

A friend gave this to me (Unfortunately I couldn't find the link to this and this cannot be translated to English)

"Child prayed to God, and asked for a cycle but he never got it. Next day he stole the statue of Ganesha and wrote a letter to God Shanker " AGAR BACCHA CHAIYE TO CYCLE LEKE HUNUMAN MANDIR AA JAO"

Absolutely hilarious.
