Year of the Ox!

It has been a day of searching and looking for something to put on the blog. Well here are a few articles, videos:

Solar eclipse view in Indonesia!

Emperor penguins on the verge of extinction!

Chinese New Year being celebrated by dancing pandas :)

hmmm a win for Obama's Blackberry...

Which is the biggest cheesecake of them all ....


Lipsticks and the economy, the obvious connection!

Weekend Issue!

One never knows when an article stares at your face and screams silently "I am interesting". It is a virtue to share happy statistics. Here is one!

The weekend is upon us - for some it started a day ago for some it is yet to begin for some they are in the middle of it and for some it means an opportunity to upload a few more articles. The link between pilots and surgeons has just been established by one of the articles published on BBC's website.

Nothing better than a few berries.. yum yum!

The art of procrastination!


Financial Start, Obama End

Yesterday was dedicated to watching many financial documentaries and so decided to dish out articles relating to the very depressing economy and some distractors.

Screens can get thinner well evidence suggests that it will be paper thin very soon.

Trading as sophisticated as it has been claimed to be, has now earned the title of legalised gambling. Some would argue against it. In any case here is someone's view on why financial markets cannot be predicted , makes it a bit of a game of chance!

A discussion on cup-holders in cars - something that my husband would very much agree with.

We cannot move on without an Obama article and this time it is about his communication skills.

And this one was a discovery!

National Geographic Photo of the Day!

Random Blogging!

Why do some people not get fat? An age-old question. It is one of the most puzzling occurences on this planet. A few scientists try to unveil the reasoning.

Saddest story of a virtue. Being polite should not lead to death. That is what happened during the Titanic voyage!

Scandal! Religious scandal makes interesting but very sad reading.

a boo boo during the oath ceremony calls for a re-oath! Obama needs a degree of attention on this blog.

Paris Hilton Of Cows - a compliment?

New Look!

Fighting for animal rights is a very noble thing, undoubtedly - but to what extent must one continue with that fight! A few of these campaigners got into a stick situation.

It may not be a natural progression from animal rights to doner kebab article. Then again these are random facts. If you have ever wondered whether kebabs are healthy or not or in fact what a doner kebab is - here is some education for you.

I received request from my readership to change the layout of the blog. I concur and with this posting you will see a new look to the blog!

Continuing with the theme of food and cooking, onions are never a favourite food of choice. From a health benefit point of view it has anti-inflammatory properties. Here is a delicious recipe of slow-cooking onions. Want to replace it with your marmalade or, even better, peanut butter?

After being nationalised and causing havoc just how does a bank justify paying bonuses to its staff? Very controversial! Northern Rock's latest decision to pay 10% bonus - at least the employees will be happy!

And to leave you with Obama's Clip ....

Swearing in....

Aaaahh!

It is a tough life for birds and insects - it is heartwarming to read survival stories of Birds like Rambo the Swallow!

With the economy still in doldrums its about time to know the what these terms mean so some financial jargon busters at your service!

This one would be a good one to understand so where did the money go?

In case you haven't had enough of animal stories on this blog here are a few pictures to amuse you.. and it is a tough life!

Noodle Pudding! sounds unusual well unusual enough to be on the blog - enjoy!

To have or not to have!

Is there hope with the children of today?

A few blunders!

Ooops this is not what Ms Hathaway would have liked to read :(( If anything it does mean that she doesn't get the award and if she does then ... well... hmmm... Congratulations!

Cats, they are truly unpredictable! This one was a well behaved one too - may be in a previous life she was accustomed to getting all the limelight and attention.

An eggy start to the day? would that be just white or the whole package? Its good to have some articles linked with health - always a virtuous thing to do...but then again researchers have also established links between drinking beer and healthy hair; wine and healthy heart and the list goes on....

Is it not ironic that peace and protest are used in the same sentence - why can it not be peace walk or peace march!

Continuing with the food theme having a superfood list from a different website is never a bad idea...the list is long so might as well click the link and explore and read what you like!

Ah! What a morning!

A few Bushisms to start the day!

This link is very interactive and fun!

How about a credit card which tops the list for legalised robbery!

There is enough fraud going on in the world - India is catching up too with the world standards!

It will now become a regular feature to read about Obama - when he sneezes, when he had a cold - so why not read about his phone too :)

More to follow....

21st century economics: an apt title

and this one caught my eye super foods...

Writing, An Expression!

Writing is about expressing. This expression is then supported with images, pictures, music, audio video, etc. In all these forms a part of the individual is on show. With time, the choice of expressions do change unless one is locked up inside a cell with no interaction with the outside world. Can that really happen? Yes it can and it has and who knows it may still be happening in some corner of this planet and it has not been brought to anyone's attention. The links will not be provided.

SO what new interesting links are there on the web - plenty. Though will not post any today!

Until next time ....

New Year New Tidings!

It is the new year! yipppeee! not that anyone would have missed the fact that 2008 rolled away. Another year, and yet a another set of resolutions or may be reviving old set of resolutions with renewed motivation.

Bloggers Boulevard was off on vacation over the holiday period and hence no postings. To my readers who were disappointed with no posts - many apologies. Though, now BB is back with more interesting articles. The search has begun and posts will be on their way

In the meanwhile Happy New Year!
