Life is like a beer jug. When you are in mood, it runs out very too often!
Hope it never runs out that fast.

Happy Birth Day Walt Elias Disney

Walter Elias "Walt" Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon,^[2] and philanthropist. Disney is famous for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century. As the co-founder (with his brother Roy O. Disney) of Walt Disney Productions, Disney became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $35 billion.

Disney is particularly noted for being a film producer and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his staff created some of the world's most famous fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, a character for which Disney himself was the original voice. He has been awarded four honorary Academy Awards and has won twenty-two competitive Academy Awards out of fifty-nine nominations, including a record four in one year,^[3] giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual.

Simply Fly!

I am currently reading this book "Simply Fly" by Captain Gopinath. People know him by the founder of the Deccan Airlines. It is his autobiography. Just past the first sixty pages or so.


In one of the chapters he mentions that he is not married now when he is already 27. And he mentions of all the fascinating adventures and ventures he has been into. Has taken part in a war, traveled the length and breadth of America, lost his land to the government for the dam, been into farming, dared the nature and human foes to stay alone in a land uninhabitable. He has done all this but is just 27. I have a year more to reach that chronological milestone. But don't seem to have achieved much by that standards. Well marriage doesn't seem to be very much on the cards till then, but got quite a bit inspired to do more, and make out things that could make my life worthwhile. Sounds weird from my part. But that is what I do - get inspired each time I read something and then forget that altogether as if I never knew that book. God save my soul.

Vibrant green

Barren lands,

not a soul, 

not even a tree, 

no shade, 

nothing green, 

can we call it earth?

We will never know the value of a tree until all the greens vanish from the earth.

Never wish to see that day. 

Plant a tree.

Clean and Not Clean!

Sometimes there is lot more to think than the simple presumptions. 
Just got with a tweet at the twitter:

sardesairajdeep Rajdeep Sardesai

not a whiff of a financial scandal surrounding UID. proves that when the person at the top is clean, the system responds.

Obviously he mentions of Nilekani. At this junction, when the CWG is making all the wrong news, he may have made this comment keeping in his mind the no-matters-what-its-not-my-fault face of Suresh Kalmadi. Well there may be more. Even MMS or Sonia could suit well too. Never thought of being political at this juncture in my blog. But well sometimes you give into the temptations. And such tweets are the best of the temptations.



Here is another comment;

@bhogleharsha Harsha Bhogle

the bus from the plane to the airport looked like a cwg bus;rattled all the time and looked like it would come apart any minute!

 

Here it seems, well, perhaps, maybe, he forgot saying " media rattled at the hot new betting saga that takes new turns every day, which could make cricket come apart any moment".

May be he is frustrated that CWG has now started to take the limelight in every way possible. He must remember that the UN roof collapses too. 

It is true that our money got the dumps. But still have to be a bit positive at this stage.

Happy Birthday Flintstones...

Got this pic from here

Fifty years and still it never mattered as they do not seem to age. They are ageless, bringing smiles in the faces of millions of people. One could never forget Fred doing his share in hush-hush accidents. Spend-thrift Wilma and Pebbles bring their share of memories. How could one forget Dino, Baby Puss and Doozy?

With Love,

Happy Birthday To You- Flintstones.

Tales of the wrinkles.

What this painting says:
Decades have been lived behind. There are not many years left to go. Wrinkles say stories of gallons of experiences and ounces of dreams fulfilled. Learned, not to get concerned with regrets and happy to have a child's heart at this age.
