    • A Great Gift

      • Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.
        Tony Robbins


        Gift

        Plinky would like me share of the best gifts I’ve ever received.
        I am honey, God’s gift to mankind. But seriously, this kind of messy situations, gift is an Old English word that means payment for a wife, dowry, it is related Old Norse gipt,Old High German gift, gothic fragits all of which mean endowment, engagement
        Gift by law is a present or thing bestowed gratuitously. The term is generally restricted to mean spontaneous transfers inter vivo or real personal property.
        A gift requires
        1. A competent donor
        2. An eligible donee
        3. An existing identifiable thing or interest
        4. An intention to donate
        5. A delivery that is the transfer of posse ion to or for the donee and reliquishment by the donor of ownership control and power to revoke
        6. Finally acceptance by the donee.
        So what do I share? Books,
        My talents? Well my talents are not the Egyptian kinds,
        Ha! Tears? Ask Loretta Young about it, they are given to us to use, like all good gifts they should be used properly
        GIFT (ɡɪft)
        Is also the acronym for gamete intrafallopian transfer: a technique similar to in vitrofertilization that enables some women who are unable to conceive and bear children. This is something I don’t do, but I could definitely recommend a colleague and friend who is good at it.

        I think I have a fairy godmother to thank for at my birth she endowed me with the greatest gift of them all the gift of curiosity, the gift of joy in looking and comprehending.




        Each day comes with its own gifts; a truly gifted person would use it well and say a prayer in gratitude.
        I believe an exhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thoughts and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather.
        Whether I have received it or not is for others to say. As for a tangible object that I received from a friend is a set of three books called “conversations with God.”

      • The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
        Khalil Gibran


        20110410-IMG_0969

        A Latin Maxim states grammar speaks, dialects teach us truth; rhetoric gives colouring to our speech; music signs; arithmetic numbers; astronomy teaches us to know the stars -- The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth—Dan Rather.
        Over the years I have official teachers, and people from whom I have learnt. I can remember quite a few of them, the best ones and the worst ones. Those who I realize in retrospect have had good or bad influence on me.
        At school I was the rebel, I refused to conform to the norms, I was curious and was quite unabashed about it, and I read a lot. Along my reading I learnt that things had to be classified, so here is my classification of my teachers. The Draconian teacher a teacher who is rigorous, unusually severe or cruel, with draconian forms of punishment, they still live in my nightmare. These teachers were equipped with shrill voices, wooden scales, and harsh words; they also had the capacity of carrying tales to the parents all in the name of doing well. In today’s world we would call them control freaks, our time we got away with under the breathe epitaph of Hitler.
        What we did learn from them is how to break rules, and circumvent hurdles without being caught.
        Then is the hypocrite teacher this is the teacher who say things and not honour them. They would have one set of rules for the Lodges and another for the Cabot’s, the plebeians didn’t exist in their reckoning.
        Then is the person I would call the Guru Edward Bulwer-Lytton indentifies them as -- the person who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself, the purpose of this teacher is not create students in his own image but to develop students who can create their own image.
        Along with teaching Maths and science I had teachers outside the school who taught me life and living.
        If you insist then I would say Mr. Denis D’silva I have come to accept that he was a great artist, and there were few other great artists in my life. For teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is human is the human mind and spirit.
        Working on this piece I realize that teachers have little control over school policy or curriculum of choice of text or special placement of students, the only autonomy they have is inside the classroom. This is something shared only by few other occupations like the police work, public education rests precariously on the skill and virtue of the people at the bottom of the institutional pyramid.

      • “It is assumed that anyone who makes a million dollars has a unique gift, though he might have made it off some useless gadget.”
        William Faulkner


        Dishwasher

        oh! yes,
        The perfect gadget would somehow allow me to fly. Isn't that what everybody wants? It would also cook a damn good microwave pizza. So while in flight you had something to eat - an in-flight meal. Where would I go? Well, nowadays, it would probably just take me to work a lot quicker.
        John Krasinski
        I am eyeing two gadgets-- no make it three,
        1. An i-pad,
        2.A kindle
        3.A dishwasher.

    • No Lung terrorists

      • If we see you smoking we will assume you are on fire and take appropriate action. ~Douglas Adams


        No Smoking and Walking

        Do I think smoking should be banned in all bars and restaurants?
        I presume we mean smoking as in smoking tobacco, and not smoking out the place with pesticide, ritual fumes or burnt food.
        Do I want to inhale 4,000 chemical compounds including carbon monoxide, ammonia, formaldehyde and other poisons? Four of the chemicals being benzene. 2-naphthylamine, 4- amino biphenyl and polonium-210 all classified as known cancer causing agents?
        NO! OF COURSE NOT!
        More than thousand people stop smoking everyday – dying.
        When a non-smoking person is in the vicinity of a smoker, then it is called as second-hand smoking or passive smoking. About 3000 non-smokers die of secondary smoking.
        Secondary smokers exhibit coughing, phlegm, chest discomfort and reduced lung function.
        Children exposed to secondary smoke suffer from asthma attacks, and have greater tendency to middle-ear disease.
        Four places which are major sources of secondary smoking
        • Work
        • Public places
        • Home
        • Car.
        Home and car are your areas of control you can do something about the smoke collection.
        But business houses are wary of banning smoking as they are scared of losing customers.
        If you are a public smoker and whines self-righteously about being discriminated by moral polices, who refuse to accept sucking of burning tubes of paper filled with chemical soaked chopped up leaves—here is my take – you painfully attack our lungs and nasal passage with your perverted public pollution and we are supposed to be positive, pat your back and say oh! You are cool? Forget it! Things are not fine, you are violating our bodies, you give us pain, you are a rapist* until you behave you are the enemy.
        Smokers are anti-fresh-arican! Or antipulmonarians, non-humanitarians or just plain lung terrorists. They are sponsors of save the crab campaign, only the crab inhibits the animal body instead of being a beach bum.
        Smoking in public areas is like peeing in a swimming pool!
        James.H.Lampert asks right when he asks “what right to smoke? Do I have a right to light up a sulphur candle in the middle of a crowd? Or set of 4-gone fogger? What would happen if I ran around with a can of flag, spraying it in the faces of passerby at random? I’d be arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, and probably also brought up on terrorism charges, and I’d deserve it mightily, so why do people addicted to inhaling insecticide believe they have a right to spew noxious, toxic, carcinogenic fumes all over the place in public?”
        I know people who say everyone has a vice that harms, smoking is no different from other bad habits like over eating, well, I don’t about the rest of the world, but I would rather have an overweight person next to me, than a smoker, drug addict or drunkard.
        It's all one thing - both tend into one scope -
        To live upon Tobacco and on Hope,
        The one's but smoke, the other is but wind.
        ~Sir Robert Ayton of Kincaldie, "Sonnet on Tobacco"
