Gobhir ondhokare ghumer ashshade amar atta lalito;

Amake keno jagate chao?"

"...So what's the use to burn and bleed
And strive for beauty's sake?
No one your poetry will read,
Your heart will only break.
But set your song in vulgar pitch,
If rhyme you will not rue,
And make your heroine a bitch...
Like Lady Lou."

~ Robert William Service

Why calling "Cheaters" when you got a tell-tale parrot!!

 

Tell-tale parrot exposes cheating girlfriend - Peculiar Postings - MSNBC.com

 

LONDON - Chris Taylor, a 30-year-old British computer programmer, grew suspicious of his live-in girlfriend when his pet parrot began to imitate her saying, “I love you, Gary.”

Ziggy, an 8-year-old African gray parrot, would also make kissing noises whenever the name Gary was mentioned on TV and would mimic Suzy Collins saying, “Hiya, Gary,” every time she answered her mobile phone.

Confronted with the evidence, Collins admitted to a month-long affair with a coworker named Gary and moved out of their shared Leeds apartment that same night.

 

~ Darn! I've got to have me a parrot!

Polar bears are left-handed.
(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer)

This is Why

 

 A story, I sing about,
Written with the ink of lust.
A tear, I smile for,
Showers on my longings.
I crave. I suffer.
So I make a chandelier of rhymes.
Dunked in the sap of desires,
I dream of purples; I dream of blues.
At last, I’ve found my pure poison.

Some thoughts

     I never liked the idea of creating an online diary, where my daily life becomes an open book to random strangers. And to be honest, I find it kinda funny to see that people put up from what time they woke up in the morning to whom they went to bed with, in their blogs. I personally could care less about what they do or what they don't do (my buddies are exceptions). And similarly, I think people will give the same rat's ass to my blogs, too. Fair enough, ha?

     When I first started using this msn-space thing, which was a few days ago, I purely wanted to keep this as a droll escape of my own. Kind of putting together all my stupid, witty files and pix in one place. But today I can't help but putting up some personal thoughts on atheism. It sounds serious, I know; and if you close the blog box right now, I won't blame you. But let me ask you something. Wouldn't you defend your reasons when you find yourself religiously attacked by an atheist? I'm sure you would, if you are NOT an atheist.

     What is a religion? What is its purpose? "Religion is the collection of Divine principles that guide people to what is good, not by force but by appealing to their free will. All principles that secure our spiritual and material progress are found in religion." I found this in one of the books by Fethullah Gulen. Those who are atheist, should be defined by what they are lacking of, Whom they are arguing against. Nothing in TRUE religion is contrary to sound thinking, reasoning, common sense, knowledge and not to mention, science. Those who don't accept religion are either devoid of sound thinking and reasoning, or have a wrong conception of knowledge and science. 

     Atheists devote their lives to attacking religion. But never have some obligation to demonstrate atheism's benefits and good consequences; except for saying "I was born, I'm living my life and I will die. That's the end of my life and me. I'm not obligated to do anything that I've been asked by my Creator. Because I choose not to. Hell, why bother?! I wasn't created. I was BORN!" Gosh.. it's like life of an animal. Human attain true humanity by means of religion, philosophy and knowledge. That's what distinguishes us from animals. For atheists, there is no difference between human beings and animals.

     Virtues, morality should be sought in the practice of religion. It rarely happens that an atheist has laudable virtues or that a religious person has none. Look at Taslima Nasreen, Salman Rushdee, Ali Sina. They all left Islam for sake of "being a human," "saving humanity." But have you read their reasons? Have you read their biographies... the life they've been leading, the impression they hold? Weren't they lost even before they declared of being atheist? They were and they will always be. We don't even need to go that far. Look around you. You will see "life billboards" walking around saying, "Life's too short. Religion is just once a week/month/year thing to do. Who cares?" And have you observed the life they lead? The impression you have about them? Are they truly happy? Can they honestly answer the purpose of their "valuable" lives? What happen after they die? Oh, I forgot. They consider themselves as an organism, named Homo Sapience, who will be buried and that's the end of it. "Is their any word such as Soul? I doubt it! " 

     Those without religion cannot save themselves from losing everything, including their true identity. They call themselves Secularist. Secular = worldly. So they had to face a lot of criticism due to that word "secularist." People started to see their true face, started to define them by whice they actually are. So they had to change their "title." Now they name themselves "Humanists." And they are "saving humanity from religion." And they've all devoted their lives to oppose Islam, out of all the religions. What an irony! Let them do their best. Since the day it was revealed, the Qur'an has encountered many objections and criticisms. 1400 years later, there has been no end to it. However, the Qur'an has always emerged unscathed and so continues to manifest its victory. Those who criticize the Qur'an, as if it were their profession, generally have only a vague and superficial knowledge of its contents. It is ironic that such people feel free to vent their opinions without researching or even reading it. It is impossible to talk of morality and virtue where people don't practice the true religion. Religion is what makes one's conscience good and clear, for it is a connection between humanity and God.

Letter of a 16 yr old boy


Dear Dad,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with mom and you. I've been finding real passion with Joan and she is so nice, even with all her piercing, tattoos, and her tight
motorcycle clothes. But it's not only the passion dad; she's pregnant and Joan said that we will be very happy. Even though you wouldn't care
for her as she is so much older than me, she already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood big enough for the whole winter.
She
wants to have many more children with me, and that's now one of my dreams too.Joan taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and we'll be growing it for us and trading it with her friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the mean time, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Joan can get better. She sure deserves it!!
Don't worry Dad, I'm 16 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren.

Your son, John


PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbor's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my
report card that's in my center desk drawer. I love you! Call when it is safe for me to come home.

Just wondering...

1.How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

2.If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?

3.Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat round?

4.Why do you have to "put your two cents in"...but it's only a "penny" for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?

5.Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

6.How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

7.Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?

8.If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

9.Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?

10.Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

11.How come we choose from just two people for President and fifty for Miss America?

12.Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.

And finally...

13.Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

 

Atlantans in Atlanta

This is for anyone who lives in Atlanta, who has ever lived in Atlanta, has ever visited Atlanta, ever plans to visit Atlanta, knows anyone who already lives in Atlanta, or knows anyone who has ever heard of Atlanta, Georgia.

By the way, these are soooo true!

 

 

Atlanta is composed mostly of one-way streets.  The only way to get out of downtown Atlanta is to turn around and start over when you reach Greenville, South Carolina.

 

All directions start with, "Go down Peachtree" and include the phrase, "When you see the Waffle House." Except that in Cobb County, all directions begin with, "Go to the Big Chicken."

 

Peachtree Street has no beginning and no end and is not to be confused with:

  Peachtree Circle

  Peachtree Place

  Peachtree Lane

  Peachtree Road

  Peachtree Parkway

  Peachtree Run

  Peachtree Terrace

  Peachtree Avenue

  Peachtree Commons

  Peachtree Battle

  Peachtree Corners

  New Peachtree

  Old Peachtree

  West Peachtree

  Peachtree-Dunwoody

  Peachtree-Chamblee

  Peachtree Industrial Boulevard

 

Atlantans only know their way to work and their way home.  If you ask anyone for directions they will always send you down Peachtree.

 

Atlanta is the home of Coca-Cola.  That's all they drink there, so don't ask for any other soft drink unless it's made by Coca-Cola.

 

The falling of one raindrop causes all drivers to immediately forget all traffic rules.  If a single snowflake falls, the city is paralyzed for three days and it's on all the channels as a news flash every 15 minutes for a week.  All grocery stores will be sold out of milk, bread, bottled water, toilet paper, and beer.

 

Gate One at Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport is 32 miles away from the Main Concourse, so wear sneakers and pack a lunch.

 

The 8am rush hour is from 6:30 to 10:30 AM. 

The 5pm rush hour is from 3:00 to 7:30 PM. 

Friday's rush hour starts Thursday afternoon and lasts through 2am Saturday.

 

A native can only pronounce Ponce De Leon Avenue, so do not attempt the Spanish pronunciation.  People will simply tilt their heads to the right and stare at you. The Atlanta pronunciation is "pawns duh LEE-on".

 

I-285, the loop that encircles Atlanta that has a posted speed limit of 55 mph (but you have to maintain 80 mph just to keep from getting run over), is known to truckers as "The Watermelon 500."

 

Don't believe the directional markers on highways.  I-285 is marked "East" and "West" but you may be going "North" or "South".  The locals identify the direction by referring to the "Inner Loop" and the "Outer Loop".

 

If you travel on Hwy 92 North, you will actually be going southeast.

 

Never buy a ladder or mattress in Atlanta. Just go to one of the interstates and you will soon find one in the middle of the road.

 

The last thing you want to do is give another driver the finger, unless your car is armored, your trigger finger is itchy and your AK-47 has a full clip.

 

Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air.

 

There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 live in Georgia.

 

There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in Georgia, plus a couple no one has seen before.

 

If it grows, it sticks.  If it crawls, it bites.

 

It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy.

 

"Fixinto" is one word (I'm fixinto go to the store).

 

Sweet Tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're 2 years old.

 

"Jeet?" is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"

 

 (Thanks to L'neisha!)
