The Man Who Belived That Children Should Have Fun

Even though Charles Dickens lived more than 100 years ago,he was your friend.He wrote stories about boys and girls and grown ups who lived in England.Partly because of those stories,children are treated better now than they were when Dickens lived.

If she had been a real person you'd have liked Little Dorrit,who had to live in a prison house because her parents were too poor to pay the money they owed.When Dickens was young,his father and mother lived in such a place.
Charles Dickens was not much older than you when he had to quit school and take a job away from home.He worked from morning until night,with very little food to eat and only an attic in which to sleep.He tells about this in his book David Copperfield.In another story Dickens tells us how children were treated in some of the schools of that time.At his own school sometimes he was beaten with the teacher's cane for laughing too loudly or for forgetting his lesson.

Yummy Sardines !

Sardines, or pilchards, are several types of small, oily fish related to herrings, family Clupeidae. Sardines are named after the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, around which they were once abundant.The terms sardine and pilchard are not precise, and what is meant depends on the region. The United Kingdom's Sea Fish Industry Authority, for example, classifies sardines as young pilchards.One criterion suggests fish shorter in length than 6 inches (15 cm) are sardines, and larger ones pilchards.The FAO/WHO Codex standard for canned sardines cites 21 species that may be classed as sardines;FishBase, a comprehensive database of information about fish, calls at least six species "pilchard", over a dozen just "sardine", and many more with the two basic names qualified by various adjectives.

The Earth Fact

You can't measure the speed of an object by itself, it has to be measured relative to something else (this was one of Einstein's realizations).

If we ask the question, "How fast the Earth is moving?" we have to specify that we want the speed with respect to another object. Motion cannot be measured without a reference point. We can ask how fast the earth is moving with respect to its own axis, the Sun, the Milky Way Galaxy, or our Local Group of galaxies.

•How fast is the Earth spinning?	0.5 km/sec
•How fast is the Earth revolving around the Sun?	30 km/sec
•How fast is the Solar System moving around the Milky Way Galaxy?	250 km/sec
•How fast is our Milky Way Galaxy moving in the Local Group of galaxies?	300 km/sec

The Earth spins around its axis as it orbits the Sun. Our entire Solar System slowly orbits around the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way Galaxy belongs to the Local Group of galaxies, where it is also moving.

The Leaders

From the day he was old enough to understand,Prince Charles has known he will be a king of England if he lives longer than his mother,Queen Elizabeth.
The people didn't elect him.They didn't choose him because they thought he was smarter or because he bullied them.They really didn't choose him at all.

In countries where a king or a queen rules,the oldest son-or daughter if there are no son-knows he will someday sit on the throne.Even though Prince Charles become king,he won't have as much power as king used to have.The real leader in England is called the Prime Minister.
Most countries don't have king and queen anymore.And not all countries elect their leaders.The leaders of some countries are called dictators.A dictators is very often a bully-a man who wants to be a leader so much that he'll do almost anything-no matter how cruel to get the job.

Fast Fast Fast with Speed

 

Take the cow. It can be hard to understand the deification of the cow in Indian villages. But pause. In westernized Delhi or Bombay, amid the fizzing pandemonium of the fast lane, watch the awesome cow in awesome slowness chew. Then you know.

Speed is something of a holy cow to modern westernized cultures. On the international foreign exchange markets, up to £200 million can be turned over in little more than a minute. News media can communicate events all but instantaneously. Computers can perform 307 gigaflops per second. Transport policies sacrifice any number of Sites of Special Interest to it, and Brands Hatch is a temple to it.

The attraction of speed is only partly the exhilaration of acceleration; much to do with competition, with overtaking. The thrill is not in going fast, but in going faster then the rest. Mark Marchant, professional racing driver at Brands Hatch, says: "Overtaking, you begin to feel invincible."

Indian musical instruments - A review

I am a little bit sentimental when Indian clasical music is concern.I do not know how to play any Indian music instrument accept "Ganjira" but of cause not that good.Just to play while I sing "Bhajans" or devotional songs.The love of music expecially Indian cranatic had made me enroll my elder daughter in Veena classes and my younger son in Mirdangam classes.So I hope they will have some fun learning them and hopefully the will keep the knowledge and exposure intact to their next keen or future generation.There are really a few people now day which will have a same interest like me.Younger generation may shy away unless their parents expose them in that environment or else it will ultimately fade out in years to come.

I would like to share some of the Indian musical instruments in this blog which I believe can provide some basic understanding on some of them.Now days people tend to use them as decorative items in their home rather than use them in action.

What Phrenology means?

5000 years ago in the times of Vedic era, people were focused on just one issue, how to develop the human consciousness. Systems like Ayurveda were developed to clean the body with herbs and bring it to the optimum level of existence. Vedic Astrology: to know the effect of planets on the Earth and its habitats. Phrenology: (samudrik shahstra) to understand the state of the body, mind & soul from the physical features of the individuals.

Phrenology is the science of body features. Every part of the body is connected with a particular area of the brain. The thought waves we get from the universal mind and the thoughts which manifest in our conscious mind along with our actions, influence the shape, size, color and appearance of our physical features. Any major variation in our thinking patterns or any action which overwhelms our Psyche trigger a change in the characteristic of a particular body feature.

Just by looking at someone's face, hands & feet, abundance of secrets about the past, present & the future are revealed, Secrets about relationships, love life, sexual power, root cause of chronic illnesses, emotional blocks, Spiritual Path: whether it is Meditation or Devotion (spiritual masters have always emphasized on choosing the right path).

We are all rose-buds waiting to bloom. Our face is like a physical bud, as and when we come a step closer to the bloom time, clear signs show up on our face, hands and feet. Just like a bud blooms into a flower the same way the flowering happens on the face. That flowering can only be seen by a Spiritual master or someone who knows Phrenology. The Spiritual state one is at can be clearly judged with the help of Phrenology.
