Diwali Lakshmi Puja 2012

Lakshmi Puja Muhurta = 17:20:29 to 19:16:48
Duration = one Hour 56 Mins
Pradosh Kaal = 17:12:29 to 19:51:51
Vrishabha Kaal = 17:20:29 to 19:16:48.

Lakshmi Puja should be done during Pradosh Kaal which starts after sunset and approximately lasts for 2 hours and 24 minutes. Pundit Mahesh Shastriji (please visit www.mypanchang.com to know more about Panditji work) proposes Mahanishita Kaal also to perform Lakshmi Puja. In our opinion Mahanishita Kaal is best suited for Tantrik community and practicing Pandits who know the best about Lakshmi Puja during this special time. For common people we propose Pradosh Kaal Muhurta.
We don’t advise to choose Choghadiya Muhurta to perform Lakshmi Puja as those Muhurtas are good only for travelling. The best time for Lakshmi Puja is during Pradosh Kaal when Sthir Lagna prevails. Sthir means fixed i.e. not moveable. If Lakshmi Puja is done during Sthir Lagna, Lakshmiji will stay in your home; hence this time is the best for Lakshmi Pujan. Vrishabha Lagna is considered as Sthir and mostly overlaps with Pradosh Kaal during Diwali festivity.

I Am

I Am like that.
I am simple,
Without any pimple,
Without any dimple,
Like an apple,
With ample,
But not sample,
Only single,
Never to mingle,
Not to couple,
Only with people,
Not to topple,
Not to ridicule,
Not a bubble,
Not to double,
Not to cobble,
Away from fable,
To become able,
And capable to lead,
Only and only to succeed,
Not to plead,
Only with my deed,
I want to succeed,
I only aspire,
Not to perspire,
But to inspire,
But not to expire,
Without finishing my work,
Without any jerk,
Though it may be quirk,
But I will do only what I want,
Without any warrant,
Success or failure I don’t want to know,
I only work for now,
As it’s better now then never,
And I think I am clever,
Enough to lead,
Cast myself away from breed,
Live the way I want,
I don’t want to live if I can’t,
That’s only my need,
And that’s all I need.

Anti Islam Film- Adequate or Not

Innocence of Muslims:- A film that depicted riots caused riots.
It’s just not a film,
It’s a prism,
A prism that shows realism,
Not only conceptualism,
Not only baptism,
It’s not idealism,
It’s just idiotism,
It’s just genoism,
Done to cause cannibalism,
This is neologism,
This is tribalism,
Not truism,
Not altruism,
It’s capitalism,
It’s not communism,
It’s fascism,
It’s egoism,
It’s not deism,
It’s dism,
It’s mesmerism,
To cause plagiarism,
To cause pessimism,
To create schism,
Lack of stoicism,
Lack of existentialism,
Only extremism,
Only nihilism,
To create absolutism,
To create traditionalism,
Away from modernism,
To create racism,
Away from humanism,
It’s their mentalism,
It’s their endemism.

Lalbaugcha Raja

Lalbaugcha Raja is the popular public Ganesha idol kept at Lalbaug, a prominent locality in Mumbai during Ganesh Chaturti festival. The idol is kept for public display for Eleven days thereafter it is immersed on the auspicious day of Anant Chaturdashi.

The Mandal, formerly known as ‘Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal, Lalbaug’ was founded in 1934, because of a vow (Navas) for construction of the present Lalbaug Market at its existing place. The market place at Peru Chawl was shut down in 1932. Hence, the fishermen and vendors who used to sit in the open place vowed to Ganesha for permanent place for their market. With the consistent efforts and support of the then local Councillor-Late Shri. Kuwarji Jethabhai Shah, Dr. V. B. Korgaonkar, Shri. Nakhawa Kokam Mama, Bhausaheb Shinde, Dr. U. A. Rao and the local residents, the landlord Rajabai Tayyabali agreed to give a plot for construction of a market. As fulfillment of their wish, the fisherman and the traders established the Ganesh Idol on 12 September 1934. The idol was dressed in the customary fashion of fisherman. Since that day onwards, this Lord Ganesh has become popular as it fulfills the wishes of devotees. The Mandal was formed in the era when the freedom struggle was at its peak.

Speak It Out

You should say what you feel.
Speak it out,
No matter even in front of crowd,
Don’t be a coward,
Be brave,
No matter, the situation may be grave,
Speak in your own word,
Remember you are not owned,
Speak what you feel,
Let your wounds heal,
Some may feel bad,
And may even feel sad,
Prevent yourself from being drowned,
In the ocean of emotions,
Have mercy on your conditions,
If you won’t speak, you will burst,
And won’t be able to handle the thrust,
Speak the truth caring for none,
Speak it out even if you need to shout,
No one will come and none will hear,
If they don’t have interest they won’t bear,
Remember it’s only a bout,
All will forgive if you do,
You are a human being too,
It’s human to err,
And you should confer,
What you feel,
You need to appeal,
And need to deal,
With those who come to demolish you,
And sometimes even tarnish you,
So, You need to speak it out,
To keep them out.

Mother of Ashton Boy with Rare Disorder Gets Job at His School to Monitor Him

Mark has Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia – an inherited condition, where the body is unable to make enough hormones to retain salt and fight stress.

Tina’s eight-year-old boy Mark suffers from a rare life-threatening disorder.
He needs daily medication and an emergency shot of drugs if his body goes into shock.
So Tina vowed to make sure   she would never be far from his side. She got a job as a midday assistant at Hurst Knoll Primary School in Ashton-under-Lyneand is now able to check on him every lunchtime.
It is thought to affect just 95 people in the north west, and sufferers have to take several tablets a day to stay healthy.
Tina, of Ashton-under-Lyne, said: “Mark was really poorly as a baby and it was a big shock to us. He was losing weight and wouldn’t feed properly but we didn’t really know why so he had to be transferred from Tameside to the children’s hospital at Pendlebury.
“Doctors ran tests on him and found he had this condition, which basically means he doesn’t produce enough of certain hormones and salt so he had to have it in his milk.
When he got a bit older and was ready for school, we had to think about who would give him his medication. “It was a worry for us but a job came up at the school and I took it so I could be there if he needed me. It works well – and he copes brilliantly with everything.”
Tina and husband David, 48, have another son, Robert, 18, who does not have the condition but he could be a carrier, meaning he could potentially pass it on to his children. Mark has to undergo regular check-ups at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital and Tina is taking part in a charity walk to thank them.
She will pull on her walking boots at Lake Windermere for the 4.5km Jane Tomlinson Walk For All on Sunday and hopes to raise hundreds of pounds for the hospital’s endocrine department.

Want

What do you want?
What you want is what you get,
When it doesn’t happen you regret,
Where there is want there is greed,
Want is the need for greed,
The more you want, the more greedy you are,
The more you get, the more you don’t share,
And you don’t care,
You become selfish,
To fulfil your every wish,
You don’t spare,
Anyone around you for you want,
To get what you can’t,
In doing so you dare,
And don’t bare,
Anyone who comes in your way,
As there is will there is a way,
For you everything is play,
And you relay not rely,
To get what you can’t,
To say what you want.

Artist Uses Blood to Bring Life to His Works Read more: http://healthmad.com/medicine/artist-uses-blood-to-bring-life-to-his-works

Jordan Eagles creates images using copper, resin — and animal blood.

His exhibition “Hemofields: A New Series of Multidimensional Works in Blood & Resin” will open on Wednesday at the gallery and run through Oct. 16.
Mr. Eagles, who gets his preserved animal blood from a New Jersey slaughterhouse, began tinkering with it as a medium while studying art at New York University in 1998. As he worked on a series of paintings depicting childbirth, he tried to use red paint to symbolize blood.
But over the course of a year, his childbirth pieces began to change color from red to brown, prompting him to experiment with ways to preserve the blood’s vibrant color. Through “years of trial and error,” he began applying blood to layers of clear plexiglass and then preserving it with layers of resin, allowing the high-gloss surface to suspend the fluid.
 In “Hemofields,” which Mr. Eagles says is a combination of hemoglobin and color fields, he explores various colors and textures of blood, from cattle and oxen, as it reacts during the resin’s cure time.
What’s happening here is that light is going through the colors and textures of the blood and vibrating off a copper backing,” he said of an image called “HF4.” “Copper is a conductor of electricity so it infuses more energy into the work.” Mr. Eagles then walked in front of “Roze 12” and began running an imaginary paint brush up and down the piece.
 “The ‘Roze’ idea here has several meanings. There are all these rows happening on a grid, but at the same time, the blood creates an image of a rebirth, a sort of rising from the dead. Rose is also a person’s name as well as a tribute flower, so the work personifies something that was once living.”
As Mr. Eagles spoke, the front door to the gallery opened. A man named Brandon Park walked in and asked if he could sneak a peek at some of the framed images.
Though Mr. Eagles insists that he has never worked with blood “just for shock value or for the sake of attention,” his unusual creations have brought him controversy.
Two years ago, animal rights activists gathered outside a Hartford gallery where some of his works were on display.
“I did not expect them to show up, but they came to my event, passing out fliers and making a big scene out front,” he said. “I invited them in to see the works before making a judgment, but they declined.
“My view on this is that blood is obviously a sacred material; it’s a life force that has energy but is no longer living,” he said. “You say the word ‘blood’ and people have so many preconceived notions and imagery that comes to mind, like the time you scraped your knee as a kid, or when you gave birth or some other image, and you are potentially going to come and view my work through the lens of those preconceived notions.”
Benjamin Krause, who owns the gallery where Mr. Eagles’s works are now being shown, said that based on Mr. Eagles’s past sales, some of the pieces would most likely sell for $12,000 to $13,000.

Was it a Dream?

A teenage girl Lisa has been just gifted a laptop by her father on her umpteenth birthday. She is quite excited about it & quickly opens it & the first thing she does is to register herself in an online social network & starts searching for friends to chat with.
She finds a strange woman whose profile she visits which says I can make your wishes come true. She leaves a message for her & celebrates her birthday. Next day she again opens that page & she feels lucky to find that woman online. Her profile was quite exciting without any name. She asks that woman for her name but she says,
” Let us first become friends & just make a wish, I will make it come true for you”.
So she wishes to be the most beautiful girl in the world since she was quite concerned about her appearance & felt that she was overweight. That woman asks her to give her email to her & she does all the things as she says.
She receives her email containing a link & when she opens it she finds that a page for registering passport has opened but she already has a passport. She cannot understand anything & questions that woman about it. She only says that if you believe me then do as I say or forget about your wish. Lisa is too tempted for the thought of her dream coming true that she wants to give it a try & does all as she says. She fills the passport form & registers herself  & waits for her wish to get fulfilled.
After a week her doorbell rings. She opens the door to find a postman carrying some parcels & letters. He gives one parcel to that girl which contains the label ‘I can make your wishes come true’. She recalls that this was the heading of the profile of that woman & she must have sent something  which can make her beautiful. She quickly opens it & finds a passport & a letter inside. She is quite confused so she reads the letter in which it is written that if you want to become beautiful just enter the code given at the back of  the passport under the profile of the woman.
She thinks that woman is making an ass out of her by taking advantage of her weakness so she throws it on the floor & goes back to her room in a depressed mood. She lies on her bed when suddenly she hears a voice which was coming from her laptop. She goes closer to it & it was glowing. After that she cannot remember anything what happened to her.
She was hypnotized. She went back to the place where she threw the passport, picked it up & entered the code at the back of the passport in the profile of that woman which was already open. As she does so she finds that laptop is taking her somewhere else, she doesn’t know where. The bright light of the laptop takes her out of hypnotism & she is wondering as she doesn’t remember her past few moments. She is awestruck & afraid.
She finds a door in front  of herself with the label “Come inside & I will make your wishes come true”.
She is quite angry by now & can feel that it is because of that woman she is here. She opens the door with a bang & searches for that woman to ask her to send her back.
She finds a woman sitting on a sofa in the next room & calls her but she doesn’t reply. So, she goes close to her to see her face & as she turns around Lisa shouts in fear. She has never seen such an old, weird & ugly woman throughout her life. That woman tells her that she is Merlin, a witch & she also has the same wish to become the most beautiful woman in the world. She also tells her that only she or Lisa can get her wish fulfilled & she has chosen herself & Lisa will help her in becoming the most beautiful woman by sharing her age with her so that she can become younger & Lisa will become older.
Lisa cannot think of anything except wishing that can it become a bad dream for her & somehow she can get back to her family. Before Lisa can do anything Merlin locks her up in her room & starts preparing for rituals which will make her younger.Lisa thinks that she cannot give up like that. She is her father’s strong daughter & fight till her end. She thinks of what all she can do.
She still has that passport in her hand. She turns it’s pages to get any information from it which can save her. She finds that passport contained all the places in the world & some strange names which she never know they exist or not & are out of this world.
The passport had 3 entries out of which one has been used when she entered into Merlin’s world & two have been left now. She has to make a correct choice to get back  to her home. She cannot bear to stay over here so she enters her name in front of a place she thinks & guesses, her home is located. She writes it with her lucky pen which she always carries with her in her pocket. As she does so she finds herself in the north pole of the earth with snowing all around. She knows that place but it is not her home, it was spelled backwards which created a confusion. Now she has solved the mystery & makes the last entry with her shaking hands remembering God & her family in the passport in front of her city’s name spelled backwards & closes her eyes.
As she opens her eyes she finds herself  lying on the bed & her father shouting at her, ” Get up Lisa. It has been hours since you have been sleeping & get ready for your classes. Otherwise, you will be late.”.
Lisa gets up to find things at their proper place & her lucky pen is still in her pocket. But she cannot find that passport anywhere. It has vanished. She gets ready & goes for her classes still wondering ” Was it a dream”?

Most Athletic Dog Breeds

American Pit Bull Terrier
Unfairly maligned as vicious, American Pit Bull Terriers are superb athletes. Originally bred for dog fighting and catching large game, they are not prone to human aggression and make for wonderful family dogs. Nowadays, Pit Bull owners channel their dog’s energy and drive through sports like weight pulling. Some Pit Bulls have managed to pull 8,000 lbs!

Australian Shepherd
Australian Shepherds, affectionately known as ‘Aussies,’ are loving, loyal, and energetic. They are one of the larger herders, and excel at agility. Aussies are very intelligent and will require mental stimulation as well as physical. They’re a popular breed, partially due to the fact that most have an ‘off switch’; i.e. the ability to settle when not actively engaged in something. Size, shape, and temperament can vary depending on what lines are present in a dog’s pedigree.
Border Collie
Border Collie is the Australian Shepherd’s more intense cousin. Highly biddable and considered the most intelligent of dog breeds, Border Collies NEED a job to be happy. These jobs can be simple: putting toys away, grabbing a soda from the fridge, or even playing fetch.
Boxer
Boxers are one of the best family breeds when they can keep all four paws on the ground. Bred, like the American Pit Bull Terrier, for fighting and hunting, the breed has since transitioned into a companion role and are extremely devoted to their owners. Unlike herding breeds, the Boxer’s energy is not ‘focused.’ Young dogs can seem like whirling, clownish dervishes springing this way and that with no idea what to do with their excess energy.
Doberman Pinscher
Doberman Pinschers are a bold breed that would do anything for their owners. They are large dogs bred for guard work and protection, and as such they need to spend lots of time with their family.
German Shorthaired Pointer
Owners describe them as the jocks of the dog world, not the most intelligent in the class but certainly willing to please and always ready to go out and do something. They are one of the best jogging companions on this list, but also compete in agility with great success.
Greyhound
Greyhounds typically begin their life at a racecourse and are adopted upon retirement. Being raised in a professional setting, they tend to be well socialized and trained, making them great dogs for first time owners.They make good family pets and are actually one of the easiest large breed dogs to own, being low-shedding, calm, and fairly simple to train.
Jack Russell Terrier
ack Russell Terriers are great for dog sports or kicking around town. They have a typical terrier personality- headstrong, vigorous, and protective. They were originally bred to hunt foxes, so you can imagine the tenacity and punch these little dogs pack.
Rhodesian Ridgeback
Rhodesian Ridgebacks originated in South Africa and were used to hunt lions. The dogs would distract and bait the lion while their masters moved in for the kill. As such, they are large, agile, and courageous. They are named for the distinctive ridge of fur down their back. The Ridgeback is fiercely loyal and aloof with strangers.
Siberian Husky
Independent, enduring, and endlessly energetic, they are a highly rewarding breed for those that can meet their needs. They were bred to pull heavy weights for miles, and because of this they can run for hours on end without tiring.

That Girl in the Bikini

A resort near a beach is full of variety of people some playing water games, other resting & having sand bath. In between the chaos & many people Ravi notices a young girl wearing bikini but of typical Indian nature uncomfortable with the dress &  unhappy. Sadness can be read from her eyes while her face wears a fake smile for the world. Ravi not wanting to but something was there which gets him attracted to her.
She is lawfully wedded wife of her husband who can be seen by his side forcing her for all things which she doesn’t want to. Her husband is a typical male & wants to own her wife. He wants to makes her forcibly drink wine but somehow she refuses & moves away from there. Ravi is the manager of that resort where the girl Sheetal & her husband have come to spend their holidays for a week. Ravi follows her & goes close to her to know more about her.
Sheetal is busy talking to her friend when suddenly he interrupts her asking feedback for his resort. Sheetal looks at him in no mood to answer him but forcibly trying to make her comfortable as she had never ever worn a bikini in her life. She did only for her husband’s wish but now cannot bear a single moment on the beach & wants to get back to her room. Ravi can see hesitation in her eyes & he handles her towel so that she can cover herself up. Sheetal cannot think how an outsider can know her feelings & her own husband doesn’t care for her. He is busy in his own world.
Sheetal now feels good & tells Ravi how she got married & through all her journey, a strange loneliness accompanied her. He can make out that she was living a compromise not marriage just because her parents can be happy. Ravi starts feeling bad for that girl though she belonged nothing to him. He just wanted to see her happy so he goes to talk to her husband. But it’s of no use. He is totally drunk & busy flirting with the other girls. Ravi sees all this & cannot stop himself & tries to make him remember that he is married. But Sheetal’s husband is in no mood to listen. He abuses him & even his wife & starts doubting his wife & speaking ill of her.
Meanwhile Sheetal comes over there & is shocked to hear the words of her husband & see his behavior. She goes at a corner of the beach & starts weeping. She never wanted to marry him but her parents wanted an NRI son-in-law who has lots of  wealth to buy their daughter happiness but she is not happy. Her husband wants to change her. For him she is a villager. Those who wear modern & short dresses are only civilized for him. She wants to live her own life & not to be treated as a doll who has to dress or undress herself as her husband desires. No one can understand her feelings except Ravi who lends his shoulder for her to cry. She starts liking Ravi & Ravi fell in love first time he saw her face. But initially he never understood that he was in love until when it was time for Sheetal & her husband to go back from their honeymoon.
When Sheetal comes to bid goodbye to Ravi he cannot stop himself from confessing his love for her. Sheetal cannot answer & doesn’t know how to react. She runs away & goes back to her room. Should she hear her mind or heart. She has also started loving her as he was the only person to understand her & help her whenever she needed. But the society will not allow her to think of anyone except her husband. Her parents will curse her if she leaves her husband. But the past few days were like death to her. She doesn’t want to be owned but loved by her husband so she decides to leave her husband. She knows that it won’t be easy but she had made her mind.
She takes out that bikini which her husband had gifted her on their marriage & gives it back to her husband with a note which says she loves someone else & wants divorce from him. She goes back to Ravi & accepts his love by saying that she will live with him forever & has left her husband for him. They were made for each other. Her husband tries to woo her by admitting his mistakes & asking her to forget him. But till then it was too late. She had started loving & respecting Ravi who was unlike other men.
Many years have passed by now. Sheetal has two kids with Ravi & now Ravi owns that resort in the name of her wife. Her family hasn’t accepted their relationship but Sheetal is waiting that one day her parent’s love will win over society.

On it’s walls were still the paintings of it’s previous owners who used to live over there. Shimona sees all these things & feels that she had come over here previously but cannot remember when. However she starts to get ready for the function while her mother is busy looking after the cooking arrangements.
Shimona feels hungry & goes to the kitchen to ask something to eat. But she can see nobody over there. So she thinks of finding some food for herself. At the deserted corner of the kitchen she sees a microwave oven kept on a table & looks almost new but it doesn’t belong to her. She opens it to look what is kept inside it & she is amazed to find a cake kept in it on which it is written Happy wedding anniversary. She feels that her dad must have kept it over there for her mother so she closes it & picks an apple from the bowl kept next to it & goes back to her room.
She rests on her bed & fells asleep. In the dream she sees her wedding but with someone else. Her mother calls her as all guests have arrived by now & she wakes up hurriedly getting ready for her engagement function. As she goes downstairs, she can see snapshots of  herself marrying someone &  fire all around her. She can see herself crying for help. She cannot only see but feel it too as if all is real. She somehow manages herself in front of others & as her bridegroom goes close to her she cries suddenly. She can see that person whom she married in her dream coming close to her so she cries with fear. Her parents ask her what happened & when she looks back again she finds that it was none other than her bridegroom only she feared & so she thinks that she is unwell & is hallucinating.
After the function she asks her mother about her father’s surprise before their ceremony. But her mother cannot understand what she was talking about. But seeing her previous behavior she asks her daughter to go to sleep. In her dream she sees the same thing again but this time her dreams are more visible. She can see the place of  her marriage & it was the same palace where she is now but with different orientation. The place that is kitchen now was her wedding stage previously. She is shocked to see the same dream again & can feel that something is wrong with this place & she will find it out.
The next day she goes to ask her father about the history of this place. He only knew that it belonged to some king & nothing else. So she thinks to look in the store room to find some old items which can give her more information about the palace. The storeroom was full of dust & smelt as if not opened for years. She finds all paintings of many people but only one of it grabbed her attention. It was covered with curtain & kept at a place difficult to reach out. But somehow Shimona manages to reach for it & pulls the curtain & is dazed to see it.
It’s her own photo with that person in her dream and the date mentioned below was about 200 years old. She can now understand that it’s her past life which is haunting her. But she cannot understand what to do now.  Whether to tell her parents or not. She calls her bridegroom & tells everything to him. He believes on her & takes her for a past life regression session.
There she tells all about her previous life how she fell in love with a king named Kundan & he loved him too & was passionate  for her. They were going to get married at the same palace where she is now going to but unfortunately the place met with a fire accident & all were charred to death. Her parents were same as in her previous life.
As she was telling all this suddenly she starts murmuring ” I won’t go with you. You are dead.”. Her bridegroom Ajay wakes her up & consoles her that everything is all right. Shimona tells that Kundan’s ghost has come to take her back. As they were busy talking Shimona’s mother calls her to come back to home as it’s considered inauspicious to meet her bridegroom a day before her marriage.
Shimona goes & the wedding day comes. She has been dressed beautifully in her wedding outfit & looked a pretty bride with all jewellery & make up. Ajay is dressed up as a bridegroom & looked handsome  & has reached the doorstep of the palace with whole crowd welcoming him.
Everything is ready for the marriage ceremony & the function has started. Shimona feels thirsty but all are too busy to address her so she goes to kitchen to drink water herself. As she finds the glass, she sees the same oven but this time kept where it was previously but this time steam was coming out of  it although it wasn’t plugged in. She sees that the whole place is covered with smoke & she starts feeling suffocated & fells down on the floor unconscious.
The time comes when the bride is being called. Shimona doesn’t reply so her mother goes to her room & she cannot find her over there. She asks servants to look for her but she can be seen nowhere.
Ajay tells everything about what Shimona told him & the whole family starts searching for her everywhere. Ajay goes to the kitchen where the oven was kept. He opens it. Shimona’s picture can be seen over there but he cannot reach it. He picks the oven up & calls a person he knew was expert of paranormal studies.
He tells Ajay that Kundan doesn’t want to see Shimona to marry someone else except him. He was a true and passionate lover of her & has been waiting for her since many years after his death to take her away with him. Shimona’s previous name was Ragini. And he called her Ragini. He has trapped Shimona & is not ready to leave her till he gets a way out to take her in his own world to live with him forever. Without her will Kundan cannot do so & Shimona is not ready to go with him.
The only way out is if  Kundan somehow gets ready to go back to his own world then only Shimona can get out of the picture in the oven. He has created a false world for her. Otherwise there is no way to get back Shimona to this world. And if she remains there for long she will die soon.
Ajay asks him to call Kundan’s spirit. As soon as he comes Ajay offers his own body to him where Kundan can live  only if he promises to leave Shimona alive & free her out of  that  trap. Kundan agrees as he only wants Shimona’s company as long as he exists.
After few minutes the oven disappears in front of them but Shimona cannot be seen anywhere. She is in the kitchen lying on the same floor which she fell upon. Ajay picks her up & brings her in her room. After few minutes she wakes up & glad to see Ajay by her side. She thinks all is well now & they both carry on with their marriage but this time Ajay has changed his marriage place.
The kitchen has been decorated with flowers as she  saw in her dreams but cannot understand why Ajay has planned to change the place suddenly. Their marriage completed successfully & it’s time now for Shimona to leave her parents & go to her new home to start a new life with Ajay after becoming her wife.

Basic Requirements for Diamond Investment

Before you invest in diamonds make sure your investment meets the following minimum requirements: Price transparency, resale liquidity, market access, quality certification, and expert guidance.

 1. Requirements for Diamond Investment
An investment diamond needs to be purchased at a price that is reasonably close to the price that you can easily resell it. Buying at retail and reselling at wholesale is a bad idea, so you need to connect with an expert that can give you direct access to international dealer prices and markets.
You also have to confirm the quality of your investment diamond through independent third party grading and expert confirmation. It is important that you establish a relationship with a trustworthy investment diamond expert that can advise you about timing, ensure quality control and handle your transactions.
2. Invest in the Basics
While very large and expensive fancy color diamonds attract the attention of super-wealthy collectors, they are thinly traded and do not offer the price transparency or timely resale liquidity. Unless you are a billionaire investor and/or expert collector, stay away from spectacular diamonds. Their pricing is highly speculative and they are often difficult to resell.
The Rapaport Group recommends initial investments in Round, 1.01 to 1.49 carat, D-H color, IF-VS2 clarity, Excellent to Very Good Cut, Rapaport Specification 2+ diamonds. These diamonds trade on a daily basis, their prices are well known and they are easy to purchase and sell.
Depending on the investment budget, strategic objectives and diversification requirements, diamond investments can include additional sizes such as one-half caraters (0.51 to 0.69 carat) and two carat to five caraters. While various investment portfolios using different size diamonds may be considered, we advise restricting investment to the well-defined and standardized round investment diamonds as described above.
3. Quality Certification
Investment diamonds should be graded by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and confirmed by your expert.
While the GIA is the primary grading authority, they grade all types of diamonds including substandard poor quality diamonds. Just because a diamond has a GIA grading report does not mean it is a good diamond. Have your expert ensure the diamond meets the Rapa port Specification 2+ quality standard in addition to having a GIA grading report.
4. Transactions Costs and Bid/Ask Spreads
Reasonable investment diamond transaction costs involving physical delivery of the diamonds can run in the 2 percent to 5 percent range depending on the size of the investment. The Rapa port Group is developing a new investment model that will provide investment diamond opportunities that do not require the physical delivery of the diamonds to investors at a one half percent (0.005) transaction cost.Investors should investigate the bid/ask spread (the price difference between buying and selling prices for investment diamonds). When buying a diamond as an investment it’s a good idea to find out what you would get if you were selling the diamond on the same day.
5. Expert Advice and International Market Access
The most important decision a diamond investor must make is whom to trust. Diamonds and diamond markets are highly complex.
You should establish a relationship with a sophisticated investment diamond adviser knowledgeable in the nuance of diamond quality as well as international diamond pricing and markets. Your investment adviser should also have direct buy/sell trading access to the global diamond markets in order to ensure fair market value bid/ask pricing.

The Addiction

Avnish, a renowned software engineer while rising to new heights of his career is offered a project which requires extensive traveling and meeting with new clients to complete this work.
He is quite excited about it. He always desired a job where he can enjoy himself and this turned up to be a golden chance for him. Bugged up by working and creating software codes for the virtual world he can now experience the real world. He quickly packs his bag with all things needed for his journey, adequately remembering to keep each and everything required by him. He boards a car which drops him at the railway station station and he is now standing on the railway platform ready to start his journey.
Vendors are busy selling tea & various other ea-table items from snacks to cold drinks to food. It’s quite a rush and chaos on the platform with everyone hurriedly running to catch up their trains. Animals can be seen loitering around the platform. Some people are busy waiting for the train to arrive while others queue up at various shops nearby. Avnish looks for a place nearby to sit.
After eventually searching, finally he is able to find a place where he can manage his things and himself. After waiting for half an hour the train arrives which he needs to board. He hires a porter to carry his luggage and asks him to keep it on his seat which was reserved for him. The train starts moving and his journey to an entirely new world starts.
In the front seat of his compartment a medium aged man is sitting who looks at him as if he wants to say something to him. Avnish decides to know about the stranger to end the monotony of his tiring journey. Still many stations needs to pass by before he can reach his final destination.
The trains moving sound proves as a hindrance for effective communication. So he gets up from his seat & sits near to him. That man tells that he is traveling to find his lost daughter who was kidnapped by some miscreants and released for money. But she went missing after she was safely brought to home. His eyes get filled with tears and Avnish consoles him and gives assurance that he will help him in getting his daughter back to him.
The place where his daughter went missing was a station before the place where Avnish needed to go to meet his new clients and he had ample amount of time to help that man. So he plans to board a second train after helping him. All his time passes in gossiping with that man and now he starts liking him. In no time he arrives at that station where the man wanted to look for his daughter and they both step down the train with Avnish  carrying the luggage with him.
That man asks Avnish to sit until he hires a taxi which will take both of them to that place where his daughter went missing. Avnish does as the man says and is busy searching  his cellphone to get more information about the location which can help them in finding that man’s daughter.
After some time the man returns with the news that he was unable to find a taxi which was ready to go at that place where his daughter was lost. He asks him if  he can borrow his cellphone to make a call to his friend who can avail a car that can take them to that place. Avnish gladly handles his mobile to that man and there is an unknown happiness on his face of being able to help someone.
That man takes his mobile and goes at a place where Avnish can see him but cannot hear him. He calls the members of his gang to carry the package to it’s destination. He returns back and politely asks him to come with him & wait at that place from where his friend will pick them up. Avnish goes with that man and he takes him outside the railway station to a place where only one or two people can be seen.
After a while a car stops in front of him whose window panes are totally covered with dark black films and nothing can be seen from outside. That man asks Avnish to open its door and sit inside the car. Avnish is quite shocked when he opens the door to find people sitting inside were wearing masks & carrying guns in their hand. He cannot think of anything but only wants to get out of this trouble  somehow which was an  unforeseen, unexpected and an unfortunate one.
He has never ever met with such an horrible incident before in his life. He quickly takes out his mobile but till then it’s too late. That man behind him grabs him and covers his face with his handkerchief. Avnish’s cellphone drops from his hands and he fells down unconscious.
After he opens his eyes he finds himself at a place which is not known to him and finds himself locked up in a room. Only voices of celebrations can be heard from outside which only said,
” We were successful in our mission. So let’s celebrate it.”
He cannot understand that whether they were kidnappers or terrorists and that man whom he thought innocent and needy turned out to be a professional criminal. His life must have been playing a joke with him.
Entangled into his own thoughts he is unable to hear the voice of the door being opened. That man enters who brought him over here and asks him to become a drug smuggler happily by his own choice otherwise they will turn him into one. He blatantly says no and they inject him with drugs.
Avnish is given a dosage each and everyday and now he has become addicted to it to such an extent that now he cannot live without it. He does everything that man says and still roams at that platform which turned  his life into a nightmare. Sometimes he cries and sometimes laughs on his own fate. He still regrets for the day when he committed a minor but big mistake of trusting someone whom he didn’t knew and went with him foolishly trusting him blindly.
He now uses his mobile to form clients but for an entirely new business which he never ever had thought that he will ever venture.His physical health deteriorated rapidly since that day but he is still living in some other lost world of cruel people. He is still addicted to life.

Lifestyle of Mayans

The Mayan culture reached from Mexico into Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador and lasted for over 3,500 years. In fact, descendants of the Maya are still living in the region and some of the Mayan languages are still spoken. The most visible legacy of the Maya are the stunning Mayan ruins that dot the Yucatan Peninsula.

They used humans as their sacrifices because it was believed that the Gods needed human blood to grow stronger. Yet another custom that was practiced sometimes was self-torture; on more dedicated levels one would practice self-torture daily.Another common custom was human sacrifices to the Gods. One way of doing this was by ripping out their hearts and leaving them there for offering to the Gods, or by throwing them down a cliff.
Mayan families all lived together- the parents, children, grandparents, and even great grandparents. When they were on their farms with the family, the men and older boys did most of the farm work including cropping, hunting, and fishing. The women and older girls did most of the “inside” work such as making clothes, preparing food, raising the children, getting firewood, and water.
They used chert and obsidian to create tools. They used bone to create needles and fishing hooks. Wood was also used for many things. They used it for making handles for things, levers, and bows for hunting and warriors. Later on in the 1200’s they used copper for tweezers and fishing hooks. Besides chert and obsidian, basalt was used for scrapers, chisels, axes, and grinding stones.
For decoration, beads and dresses, they used bone, jade, oystershells, and any other dark green stone they can find. Usually the girls would make the clothing and jewels, along with other chores such as bringing in wood and water. They would make sculptures and necklaces out of these rescources. They also wove baskets and clothing. They would use natural dye from indigo plants (which produced blue) and the chochineal (a bug) which would make red.

Mayan Writing

An elaborate system of writing was developed to record the transition of power through the generations. Maya writing was composed of recorded inscriptions on stone and wood and used within architecture. Folding tree books were made from fig tree bark and placed in royal tombs. Unfortunately, many of these books did not survive the humidity of the tropics or the invasion of the Spanish, who regarded the symbolic writing as the work of the devil.
Four books are known today:
The Dresden Codex
The Madud Codex
The Paris Codex
The Grolier Codex.
The priests followed the ruling class in importance and were instrumental in the recordings of history through the heiroglyphs. The two classes were closely linked and held a monopoly on learning, including writing. The heiroglyphs were formed through a combination of different signs which represented either whole words or single syllables. The information could be conveyed through inscriptions alone, but it was usually combined with pictures showing action to facilitate comprehension.
In both the priesthood and the ruling class, nepotism was apparently the prevailing system under which new members were chosen. Primogeniture was the form under which new kings were chosen as the king passed down his position to his son. After the birth of a heir, the kings performed a blood sacrifice by drawing blood from his own body as an offering to his ancestors. A human sacrifice was then offered at the time of a new king’s installation in office. To be a king, one must have taken a captive in a war and that person is then used as the victim in his accession ceremony. This ritual is the most important of a king’s life as it is the point at which he inherits the position as head of the lineage and leader of the city. The religious explanation that upheld the institution of kingship asserted that Maya rulers were necessary for continuance of the Universe.

Mayan Art

The art of the Maya, as with every civilization, is a reflection of their lifestyle and culture. The art was composed of delineation and painting upon paper and plaster, carvings in wood and stone, clay and stucco models, and terra cotta figurines from molds. The technical process of metal working was also highly developed but as the resources were scarce, they only created ornaments in this media. Many of the great programs of Maya art, inscriptions, and architecture were commissioned by Mayan kings to memorialize themselves and ensure their place in history.

Money

Money matters.
Money makes money,
They make money,
We make money,
All make money,
Not only to live,
But to survive,
You need to strive,
You need to compete,
You need to innovate,
For anything to purchase,
You need to buy,
You need to sell,
For only to dwell,
Sometimes even yourself,
Sometimes they are others,
Your own brothers,
Of your own breed,
Without caste or creed,
You sell them for your own greed,
You become selfish,
And fish money to fulfill your wish,
But in doing so you forget good or bad,
And you feel sad,
And regret when it’s too late,
Remember always it’s better being early than late,
But if anything wrong is done to you,
You cannot forgive,
And tend to be punitive,
You can only forget and cannot forgive,
Because you cannot determine,
The difference between right or wrong,
And not at all  strong,
To fight for the right,
Which is right,
Not only for you but for all,
If you are right you cannot fall,
Even if you do then too,
You are free without guilt,
You are strongly built,
You don’t care,
And tilt the world,
Which was earlier a nightmare,
And you paid fare,
For everything in the world,
Costs enough,
And people here are quite rough,
And unfair too,
In their approach,
They ten to poach,
And sometimes even kill,
To pay their bill,
They show their worth,
By killing on earth,
They pay bribes,
And sometimes even buy wives,
Keeping them under their knives,
All is done, just for fun,
And in this run,
They even use a gun,
Leaving none,
They sell their soul,
And become an owl,
Which cannot see during the day,
And they can see only dark but no ray,
They justify what is wrong,
They testify that they are strong,
Enough to rule by swords,
And not by words,
They act to enact,
Frame rules to keep themselves intact,
But they forget,
That nothing lasts for long,
How much you may be strong,
Everything has to end,
Well or unwell,
Choice is yours,
And you can only lend,
A helping hand or pointing finger,
You only linger,
And  only regret,
When all have left,
Left you forever,
Now you cannot cover,
For losses you chose for yourself,
For profits you lost yourself,
One wrong decision can lead you nowhere,
Nowhere is the success,
Only distress,
For those who take shortcuts,
And afraid of failure,
Temptations lead to devil,
And you turn out to be evil,
You end up forming a disease,
Which needs cure,
To be pure,
To be at ease,
And to stay abreast,
You need guts,
And need to crack tough nuts,
That too within timeline,
You need to align,
Yourself towards your goal,
And play your role,
Using techniques which are right,
Without any fight,
You need to respect,
And not suspect,
Without proof,
As you can’t stay aloof,
Money is not life,
It is only a device,
That tones your life.

Is He Dead or Alive?

Ravi is too late. He just finishes his work and leaves from his office to his home. That day he had some unfortunate experiences which he had never felt before in his whole life. Though small they had left a strong impact on him.
Remembering these incidents he is busy walking down the street. He has reached half way from his home and now it’s too late. It’s about few minutes left for the day to change. He is still on the road. No one is on the road &  he is still walking alone lost somewhere in his own thoughts.
Suddenly he hears the cries of a woman asking him for help. He quickly rushes to see where are the cries coming from. That’s the old graveyard which was more than a thousand years old  &  no one ever ventures over there nowadays. Then what a woman must be doing at this time & at such a place was the question that first came to his mind when he was unable to find anybody out there & the cries of that woman has suddenly disappeared now.
But now he is inside the graveyard gate. He knows a shortcut which is weird and requires walking between the graves but leads to his home quickly within 5 minutes. He thinks that he can save his time if  he goes through this route and also it’s already too late by now. So he moves ahead. His friend had discovered that route one day when they left from college in a hurry to avoid missing their classes.
After he reaches midway, he hears voices of as if someone is following him. He looks back many a times during his way back home but can’t see anyone behind him. He can also hear voices of crawling leaves in the dark and now he starts feeling a bit scared. The whole environment has suddenly changed into a haunted look and he is still a few meters away from his home.
He walks hurriedly but something comes in his way and he finds it stuck under his shoes. It looked as if a bangle of some lady but unlikely others which are totally round in shape.It’s oval in shape. It looks too precious & old & seems to be made up of pure sparkling diamonds whose reflection can be seen on his face in this dark night of no moon. He picks it up and thinks whether to take it with him or notBut he is too mesmerized by the charm of these diamonds and cannot stop himself and keeps it in his pocket without giving one more forethought to it & now he is only a few yards away from his home. Everything is alright till now. It’s just  now that he reaches the graveyard gate which is just opposite to his own house.He needs to cross it to reach his  home. But as he reaches in front of the gate, the gate closes rapidly with a bang. He tries to open it. But it is locked. He tries hard to pull it & even to climb over it but each trial results into one more failure & he is now totally exhausted.
He thinks to go back again to the front gate & curses himself from choosing this way to reach home quickly. But as he reaches the front gate he is amazed to find that it was closed too. He is too tired by now & it’s difficult for him to move his legs & he feels as if they had been stoned. Hopelessly he sits down near the graveyard’s gate. Still whole night is there to pass for him in this graveyard that wears a more haunted, deserted & scary look with each single moment passing by & he is  just waiting for the  morning  to come soon so that he can ask  for help from someone nearby.
Nobody is there to help him out of that trap which the graveyard has lain for him. He closes his eyes and tries to sleep. As he falls asleep he sees a woman asking him to return her bangle back. He refuses & she comes close to his neck & bites him.  She sucks his blood & takes her bangle back from him. His eyes open with a shout  full up of  fear as if all must have had really happened to him.
He looks outside the gate & can see it’s early morning now and a worker is busy in cleaning the road. He calls him & asks him to open the graveyard’s gate. The worker replies that the gate was not closed so there is no question of opening it. He looks back again towards the gate & finds that the worker was telling truth and wasn’t joking. Was he hallucinating throughout the night or has he gone insane ? This question starts haunting him.
He hurriedly gets out of the graveyard & finally returns to his home. He goes to bath and finds marks of being  bitten around the neck by something he doesn’t know what & when was he bitten & starts wondering about it as he sees his face into the mirror. He then recalls his dream & looks into his pocket where he had kept that bangle which he had found in the graveyard. He searches all the pockets of his clothes but unable to find that bangle anywhere.
Last night that he spent in the graveyard near to his house has changed him forever.  Now he has started drinking human blood & eating human flesh. He has  turned into a cannibal without letting anyone even doubt what he does each day. He hates sunlight & stays in the dark most of the time. His wounds now take no time at all to heal. All his hairs have shed & now he wears a cap to hide his baldness & keeps his face covered to hide himself from rest of the world. His new  friends are weird & they come to visit him only at night. He has left his job & now works in a graveyard. He eats dead people’s flesh & drinks blood of alive humans occasionally. He now likes those things which he previously used to hate and never ever had even thought of doing  for himself. Also he had left his parents in an old age home whom he used to love & respect earlier & never ever even cares to know about their well being nor he has visited them ever since he left them. He stays away from people and never ever allows anyone to come closer to him.
He  has no emotions left  for anyone now  & lives alone in his same house with boards put up in every corner of the house & even at the gates that say  ” Knock before you enter”  & “Please do not disturb”. And whosoever tries to enter his house without  his permission has never been heard to come back again. Every month when there is no moon night, he spends that whole night in the same manner as he did once when he was human and unfortunately trapped in that graveyard. Is he dead or alive?

Most scariest places on earth

Some of the most scariest places on earth are given under:

The Parisian Catacombs
The Paris Catacombs are a maze of tunnels and crypts underneath the city streets where Parisians placed the bones of their dead for almost 30 years. Prior to the creation of the Catacombs in the mid-1700s, residents buried their dead in cemeteries, but as the city grew, they quickly ran out of space.

The Skirrid Inn
One of the most notorious haunted sites in England is the Skirrid Mountain Inn in Llanfihangel Crucorney, Wales. According to folklore, in its 900-year history over 180 people have been hanged from a beam on the staircase, which is still in place today, with rope marks, apparently. The first floor of the inn is thought to have been a courtroom in the past.

Glasses often suddenly fly across the room of their own accord, faces are seen at windows and people feel nooses around their necks. Guests who stay there often report waking to icy room temperatures – even when the heating is on – and the feeling of being watched.
Bell Farm
The Bell Farm haunting is recognized throughout the paranormal community as the only known account of a ghost that caused the death of a living person. During the years of 1817 and 1821 a woman entity terrorized the Bell family. She became known as the Bell Witch or ‘Kate’. She had tortured John Bell so much that it led to his death. He did suffer from a nervous system disorder, and Kate’s antics made his condition worse.

Edinburgh Castle
Edinburgh Castle is reputed to be one of the most haunted spots in Scotland. And Edinburgh itself has been called the most haunted city in all of Europe. On various occasions, visitors to the castle have reported a phantom piper, a headless drummer, the spirits of French prisoners from the Seven Years War, colonial prisoners from the American Revolutionary War – and even the ghost of a dog wandering in the grounds’ dog cemetery.


The Ridges
Originally known as the Athens Lunatic Asylum, The Ridges was renamed after the state of Ohio acquired the property. The hospital saw hundreds of lobotomies, and often declared masturbation and epilepsy to be the causes of insanity in patients.
The notorious rapist with Dissociative Identity Disorder, Billy Milligan, was housed at the facility for years. The most famous story, however is that of a 54 year old female patient who ran away and was missing for 6 weeks. She was found dead in an unused ward. She had taken off all of her clothes, neatly folded them, and laid down on the cold concrete where she subsequently died. Through a combination of decomposition and sun exposure, her corpse left a permanent stain on the floor, which is still visible today.
