Time for a Change

 I think I have lost the patience to wait.......and.......wait  ... to watch  any T.V shows which interrupt the commercials( seriously) .

Why do firms  try to sell their products using embarassing  insensitive ways ?

" ......all it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to remain silent ".

I know  I definitely do not have the capacity to change the situation, but surely have the wisdom to know the difference. Yes, I am doing my bit, my shopping cart never allows the products that neglect ETHICS in their advertisements.

Any company which ignores a society can never take care of an individual. So I am doing  my bit -buying  with discretion..

Bythe way Iam trying to find  some methods to liven up long ....boring..days . Shall I try PS3? 

"   'O God give me the courage to see the change in me !!!!"


 Finally, Iam going to play............. SPEED RACER.

Creativity at its Best

One needs to be aware of what others are doing, applaud their efforts ,acknowledge their success and encourage them in their pursuits. When we all help one another , everyone wins.

 THEY ALSO TEACH US TO BE ECO-FRIENDLY .

Maerials- Coconut shell, jute ,  bread ,maida ,binding wire, newspapers ,pista shells

 

   Introducing Mrs, Shashi Prabha gives me the pride of being a winner. Her doctroine is that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly ,even while controlling purse strings one can turn rags to riches. All that one needs is diligence and patience.In her early 50's ,she is brimming with creative thoughts and energy. Thanks to the ''man '' behind ''her accomplishments ''.Touchwood!!!

The speciality of her work is the perfection which she achieves using only natural materials like, maida as binding agent , dry leaves, coconut shells, fiber , garlic peels, onion peels , twigs, drift wood and any such thing which we  feel is nothing but trash.She takes pride in her disciples who religiously follow and reflect her thoughts.

Shashiji has the creativity to transform Cactus into a beautiful peacock,.discarded table fan into exotic decor piece . Anything which we consider useless and unwanted turns into incredible craft masterpieces in her hands


 
Her love, dedication and passion for her work is that she had cancelled her so carefully planned foreign tours  but not a chance to create great craft projects.

Shashiji surely enjoys the creative challenge that brings her success which expands her joy of achievement .

Let"s wish good luck for her futue projects.

This set up lights up everyones face with admiration for Syama's unbeatable ultimate luxury.

" best foot forward "

No news is a good news . To grab the benefit of a hasslefree evening went out to explore the roads , guess it is also called 'Walking ' .

I know walking is the need of the hour . Yoga Gurus, doctors ,experts ,fitness experts....everyone tries to put us in the right path.  I must atleast listen to my bathroom scales' request,appeal, plea and the ultimate warning .

TIPS MISFIRE

EXPERTS GO WRONG

FORMULAE FAIL.

ONLY DILIGENCE TRIUMPHS


With diligence I put my best foot forward to be healthy. Though accepted as a proverb .................................

 I am not convinced of the   usage' the best foot forward '' interms of humans.The best is the name we give for somethingthat surpasses all others.Something that surpasses one other is specifically called ''BETTER'' as
in one's wife being called'' one's better half''.

Shakespeare used this expression in ''King John ,1595''

""Nay, but make haste,

The better foot before"".
