Don't Cry Joni (one of my favourite song)
http://www.ziplo.com/dontcry.html
Sung by Conway Twitty & Joni Lee
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up some day you'll see
saving all my kisses just for you
signed with love forever true
Joni was the girl who lived next door
I've known her I guess 10 years or more
Joni wrote me a note one day
and this is what she had to say
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up some day you'll see
saving all my kisses just for you
signed with love forever true
Slowly I read her note once more
then I went over to the house next door
her tear drops fell like rain that day
when I told Joni what I had to say
Joni, Joni please don't cry
you'll forget me by and by
you're just 15, I'm 22
and Joni I just can't wait for you
Soon I left our little home town
got me a job and tried to settle down
but these words kept haunting my memory
the words that Joni said to me
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up some day you'll see
saving all my kisses just for you
signed with love forever true
I packed my clothes and I caught a plane
I had to see Joni, I had to explain
how my heart was filled with her memory
and asked my Joni if she'd marry me
I ran all the way to the house next door
but things weren't like they were before
my tear drops fell like rain that day
when I heard what Joni had to say
Jimmy, Jimmy please don't cry
you'll forget me by and by
it's been 5 years since you've been gone
Jimmy I married your best friend John.
A place for me to speak-out. A chance for my soul to seek...
' Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue, the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet;
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams '
- William Butler Yeats

CHILD ABUSE: How concerned are you?
I got a forwarded link from a friend of mine and I went to the site in all good intentions.
The site covers two main issues.
Child Pornography on the internet
Child abuse at home.
The means it says that it can eradicate it:
Get a million email addresses from all over the world and do —– —– —-.
Seriously, I have never seen a site that doesn’t say what it is planning to do with the list. Here are my options though.
The list would be submitted to all the technology vendors, ISPS, Governments throughout the world.
Those concerned will get to know that there exists an evil called ‘child pornography’ and would empathasize with the million others who submitted the petition.
It would stop all pornography sites on the internet.
It would send one military person per home to check on child abuse.
Child abuse at home would also stop.
The world would be a better place to live in. And everyone would live happily ever after.
But I know what is going to happen.
If you have been getting 10 spam mails till now, it might double.
Soon, people might be interested in offering you loans, degrees or even silicone breast implants.
Well, how plausible is my idea? Are these guys kidding? A search on light a million candles yielded me 535,000 links (mostly over enthusiastic blogs) pointing to this site in their attempt to save the world. But I can’t be ridiculing someone if I don’t have an answer to something. Isn’t it? And I say, Yes. I do have the answer to it.

From what I hear, the government is already concerned at this. It doesn’t need a million addresses to know that this happens and it needs to do something. If you really think that God sent you to this world to eradicate this, you would just need to do atleast one of the following.
Stop abusing children. (Learn to accept that anyone has modesty. This includes not looking at their private parts let alone touching them).
Stop abusing children. (Learn to accept that anyone has modesty. This includes not looking at their private parts let alone touching them).
If you know that some neighbourhood kid is abused, call up the police.
If you find some porn site on the web, submit it to the concerned government cell.
Does this make sense?

Incredible machines
SIMPLE HOME MADE MACHINES WITH CRAZY TECHNIQUES
If you have seen Back to the future, you would have certainly not missed the breakfast making machine called "Rube Goldberg", these machines are complex devices that perform simple tasks like making a breakfast in very indirect and convoluted ways.
But, this video of these incredible machines is going to make you and your physic professors sit up and say "whoa" because the physics concepts used in these machines, which make use of everyday house junk is awesome. It's a little long around 9min, so get ur cup of coffee before u press the play button. But, don't blame us if u spill ur coffee...

Some of my favourite Poems by Subramanya Bharathi
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்ப தில்லையே
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்ப தில்லையே
இச்சகத்து ளோரெலாம் எதிர்த்து நின்றபோதினும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்ப தில்லையே
துச்சமாக எண்ணி நம்மைத் தூறு செய்த போதினும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்ப தில்லையே
பிச்சை வாங்கி உண்ணு, வாழ்க்கை பெற்று விட்ட போதினும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்ப தில்லையே
இச்சை கொண்ட பொருளெலாம் இழந்துவிட்ட போதினும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்ப தில்லையே
கச்சணிந்த கொங்கை மாதர் கண்கள்வீசு போதினும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்ப தில்லையே
நச்சை வாயிலே கொணர்ந்து நண்ப ரூட்டு போதனும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்ப தில்லையே
பச்சை யூனினையந்த வேற்படைகள் வந்த போதினும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்ப தில்லையே
உச்சிமீது வானிடிந்து வீழு கின்ற போதினும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்ப தில்லையே
நெஞ்சு பொறுக்குதில்லையே
நெஞ்சு பொறுக்குதில்லையே - இந்த
நிலைகெட்ட மனிதரை நினைந்துவிட்டால்
கொஞ்சமோ பிரிவினைகள் - ஒரு
கோடியென் றாலது பெரிதாமோ ?
அஞ்சுதலைப் பாம்பென்பான் - அப்பன்
ஆறுதலை யென்றுமகன் சொல்லிவிட்டால்
நெஞ்சு பிரிந்து விடுவார் - பின்பு
நெடுநா ளிருவரும் பகைத்திருப்பார் (நெஞ்சு)
சாத்திரங்க ளொன்றும் காணார் - பொய்ச்
சாத்திரப் பேய்கள்சொலும் வார்த்தைநம்பியே
கோத்திரமொன் யிருந்தாலும் - ஒரு
கொள்கையிற் பிரிந்தவனைக் குலைத்திகழ்வார்
தோத்திரங்கள் சொல்லியவர்தாம் - தமைச்
சூதுசெயு நீசர்களைப் பணிந்திடுவார் - ஆனால்
ஆத்திரங் கொண்டே யிவன் சைவன் - இவன்
அரிபக்த னென்றுபெருஞ் சண்டையிடுவார் (நெஞ்சு)
எண்ணிலா நோயுடையார் - இவர்
எழுந்து நடப்பதற்கும் வலிமையிலார்
கண்ணிலாக் குழந்தைகள்போல் - பிறர்
காட்டிய வழியிற் சென்று மாட்டிக் கொள்வார்
நண்ணிய பெருங்கலைகள் - பத்து
நாலாயிரங் கோடி நயந்து நின்ற
புண்ணிய நாட்டினிலே - இவர்
பொறியற்ற விலங்குகள் போல வாழ்வார் (நெஞ்சு)
Another one..
தேடி சோறு நிதம் தின்று – பல
சின்னஞ்சிறு கதைகள் பேசி – மனம்
வாடி துன்பம் மிக உழன்று –பிறர்
வாட பலசெயல்கள் செய்து –நரை
கூடி கிழபருவமெய்தி –கொடுங்
கூற்றுக் கிரையென்ன பின்மாயும் – பல
வேடிக்கை மனிதரைப் போல் -நான்
வீழ்வெ னென்று நினைத்தாயோ….
He still lives...
Jesus died pinned to the cross;
Krishna by a swift arrow;
Even Rama yielded to death by water;
But I shall not die, 'tis certain.

we are human...but are we humane??
we are human...but are we humane??
Human race is to which we all belong..
there had to be a unity very strong..
instead what is found everywhere...
is hatred and attitude of why-should-i-care.
we take pride in being the most intelligent race..
arrogance is writ all over human face..
but why am i writing "we"
its now all about you and me.
constantly engaged in mass killing..
in a manner that is mostly spine-chilling..
pogroms and massacres are order of the day..
and bleeding humanity by bombing it away..
when one's agony and plight..
becomes other's delight..
when a nation's power and pelf
using the God's name itself..
as if the God belongs to them only..
on promises of after-life heavenly..
youths are lured into killing innocents.
with a feeling of victory rather than repents..
it doesn't matter if a mother cries..
they seek jihad in her hopeless eyes..
its not enough if her only son goes..
their motive is to add to her woes..
they wont mind blowing her away as well..
as if they seek fragrance in this gory smell..
it may be a son,mother,father or daughter..
they dont blink an eye and just slaughter..
and slaughter they do in a manner dastard..
for fellow humans they have just utter disregard..
they may justify it by wearin a jihadi mask..
but the crying mother,the orphaned childask..
have you lost your sanity..are you insane..
you may be human..but are you humane??
