"Authoritat
ive Begging"
witnessed in Velachery Vijayanagar
Terminus
"Authoritative Begging" witnessed in Velachery Vijayanagar Terminus Today whilst connecting at Vijayanagar to Guindy whilst commuting at Tambaram, I had a chance to witness a beggar who was having some leg infection and had tied some cloth on it. He was using a support stick to help his mobility. He was seeking alms to everyone. Whilst this is a common scenario in Chennai the most disgusting part was that if the prospective donor that he was approaching was turning down his request, he started to shower expletives on each of the persons individually before moving to the next one. Most of them just were ignoring his deeds. I think he should have great humility first rather than being an authoritiative on begging, what we call in Tamil as அதிகாரப்பிச்சை. Furthermore, the cops were mute spectators of this despite the fact that he was spreading infection through the stagnant water with his... (more)

the advent wreath
The Advent wreath. This simple arrangement consists of four candles set equidistant in a circle of evergreens, with a larger fifth candle placed in the middle. On the first Sunday of Advent, one candle is lit, on the second Sunday, two candles, and so on. Finally, on Christmas Eve, we light the Christ candle in the middle. Usually, three of the outer candles are purple, the liturgical color of Advent that signifies both penitence and royalty, but the candle for the third Sunday is rose-colored, denoting the theme of joy. The Christ candle is white. The circle suggests eternity, the greens symbolize life, and the cross of lighted candles points to Christ. In ancient northern cultures, the lighting of bonfires and yule logs was meant to ward off the midwinter darkness and its sinister denizens. So it is easy to see how Christians combined the greenery of life and the candles of light into the Advent wreath. By lighting a new candle each week, by accumulating... (more)

After SPM. 1
So sorry for those who haven't finished their SPM,I'm now talking about life after SPM. Just being irritating. (I typed this on 10th December and left it undone until now.)Before I finished my SPM,I thought of doing a lot of things after SPM,I even had a whole perfect plan,which I planned so perfectly not to waste any minute of my life. That's not easy,now when the time really comes,I find nothing I can do. Easier said than done. This phrase always describes me the best,lousy procrastinator. Well,leaving the matter of after-SPM-plan aside,first and foremost I'm here writing in my blog to thank all my teachers. It feels like,in the twinkling of an eye,5 years of secondary school life ended,and I actually did nothing. I mean anything a good student should have done. Teachers who have taught me in my secondary school life,thank you.#1 Cik Siti Raudhah (F4 form teacher & Add Maths teacher)She was a neophyte in teaching when we first knew her,thought we could...

He weaves their riverbank life
Kenneth Grahame - Biography and Works, Toad talked big about all he was going to do in the days to come, while stars grew fuller and larger all around them, and a yellow moon, appearing suddenly and silently from nowhere in particular, came to keep them company and listen to their talk. At last they turned in to their little bunks in the cart; and Toad, kicking out his legs, sleepily said, "Well, good night, you fellows! This is the real life for a gentleman! Detroit Red Wings for men Talk about your old river!" Ch. 2Mr. Toad, Ratty, Mr. Badger, and Mole are among the many creatures and characters who inhabit Grahame's version of Victorian era England. He weaves their riverbank life and many adventures in magical yet universally appealing style. Grahame was well-esteemed during his career with the Bank of England, which had started in 1879 and culminated in his being appointed Secretary at the age of thirty-nine. During these almost twenty years he also grew to be a respected writer,... (more)

It��s the period of full HD
1080p is the shorthand name for a category of HDTV video modes. The number 1080 represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution, 080 horizontal scan lines, while the letter p stands for progressive scan (meaning the image is not interlaced). 1080p can be referred to as full HD or full high definition although 1080i is also "Full HD" (1920x1080 pixels). The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal resolution of 1920 pixels. This creates a frame resolution of 1920��1080, or 2,073,600 pixels in total.
