All I want is a little magic

One day, I passed by a pond
And heard a fish sing
Curious, I looked and indeed it was a fish
But I couldn't let myself believe what I heard
So instead I scoffed at the idea and turned away

Another day, I looked up the sky
And saw a heron fly
Smiling, I thought nothing new
And gazed back down
Doing so I missed seeing the heron smiling back down at me

Yet another day, a cool autumn evening, I took a walk
And saw little flowers blooming all over
Delighted, I touched one and wondered at its brightness
And ignored the little weed whistling right next
I didn't realise it wanted a little of my attention too

The Wind, the Sun and the Moon I believe
And the Earth too, for it feeds me
Blissful, I seek new things everyday bored with what I already know
And I wonder if there are angels dancing around
And fishes that sing...and herons that smile...and plants that whistle too.

Stock Markets!

It was autumn, and the Red Indians on the remote reservation asked their New Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was a Red Indian chief in a modern society, he couldn't tell what the weather was Going to be. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his Tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared. But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked "Is the coming winter going to be cold?" "It looks like this winter is Going to be quite cold indeed," the meteorologist at the weather service responded.

So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more wood. A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Is it going to be a very cold winter?" "Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "It's definitely going to be a very cold winter."

The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect
every scrap of wood they could find. Two weeks later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?"
"Absolutely," The man replied. "It's going to be one of the coldest winters ever."
"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked. The weatherman replied, "The Red Indians are collecting wood like crazy."

This is how stock markets work!!!

Which one are you

I don't know why but I have always been crazy about "Which one are you" kind of tests/forwards/talks/discussions! I have read through things like "Which tree are you", "Which breed of dog are you", "What kind of inner personality do you have"...you get the idea!

I came across this one recently. I think its pretty cool (If you like these that is!)

Am a Raven! I love Ravens ;)

Shocking?!

I thought risk-taking is one of the most attractive thing going for a guy! And I thought I liked it - the more, the better! I used to dream of venturing into jungles (Not the effect of Kaal, Oh God, let them believe me!), bungee-jumping and just taking off into the unknown though ofcourse I never dreamed of/needed a guy to lead me into these adventures. But a guy with similar thoughts will definitely sit well with the cells of 'that' part of my brain ;) An article I read recently has had me thinking though! Maybe risk-taking is not all that it is made out to be....definitely not the modern day idea of 'risk-taking' (which includes bungee-jumping!!)

So am re-thinking.....

Talking of this, I was mighty impressed with "The Human Zoo" by Desmond Morris. I had read "The Naked Ape" a few years back and thought it 'awesome' (the word I use most frequently these days - bad habit?!!) But this one is even better! Shall write about the priceless wisdom I gained later :))

Wonderful experiences

I had the most wonderful experience this weekend when I escaped to Coorg for a quick trip. This may sound kinky but believe me, this was one of the most beautiful moments of my life. A small creature, a trusting life and big me. I felt an overwhelming urge of affection and the need to protect the small one :)
