October 2011 Calendar shot

October - The colorful month. And here she comes.

As usual am welcoming the month with a calendar shot. The month of festivals, puja, sweets, celebrations, joy and happiness is here.


I name this click as " Kiss of Rocks"

[Click on the image to view an enlarged version of the image]
Intersting facts of OCTOBER that are new to me :

* October is Adopt-A-Shelter Dog Month



* HALLOWEEN is celebrated on the last night of October in USA, with children dressing up in masks and costumes, going door to door, asking for a treat.



* THANKSGIVING DAY is celebrated in Canada on the second Monday of the month.



* In merry old England during olden times the month of October was once named “Winmonth”, which meant wine month.




Anything to add??

Ashwini,

Read all pending posts. My being late is due to what I said in Age Catching Up in my space, if you read that. Your story narrating skills are good as I can see in Love is with you. Little more details at places will do wonders. Thanks for information on September, which happens to be my birth month and good photograph. Beautiful poem, Reality, showing that joy of giving is still there in some persons. Had a good laugh on reading Gist of Kannada poem. Mutual trust is a founding step in relationship. So in Him & Her you have shown that they both had it but one slip up made him so repentant and she could gauge it forgiving his one mistake. Good narration again. Hope to read more stories from you, may be as a collection published in book form some day. Yes, Looks can be so deceptive, specially these days of high fashion. A Simple Prayer shows deep desire to be with someone, composed so nicely. Good calender of October and thanks for information.

Take care

SUPW - Socially useful and productive work!

Say primary school or exams - it brings back memories of lot of fun filled activities along with the normal syllabus. Languages, Basic math,science and social studies are the ones included in the normal stream. The ones out of this are - General Knowledge, moral science, story telling, project work - these become the building block for a child's growth in a complete way. Last week an evening as I returned home, a neighbour's kid was waiting for me the enitre afternoon for help.He needed guidance to complete his project work. The school had come up with a concept to bring the creativity out of a child's mind.It goes this way - use the waste materials and create something useful - Socially useful and productive work(SUPW). SUPW is another learning area falling under the non-scholatic domain - This ensures that the students develop better understanding of their social and environmental issues. It also encourages students to take up varities of activities,which are productive a...

A cry not heard!

Ray of light far from sight All his need is a caring feed A place to sleep, a blanket to keep - the despodent waif Warm and safe Cruel men see the poor one plead, Emptiness filled hearts hesitant to share a part. On the pavement's corner sits this lad a bit. Weak and pale telling his tale None hear Do they feign fear? Hoping - is all he could do for some fresh hot stew Every passer-by down the lane Ignore this guy and all his pain Why is this scene not wiping off my brain Serene it Remains Revives time and again As I sit by the window of the train.

Tantrums of logging on.

It was a normal day when I was doing my usual work at office. A known tune started ringing on my cell phone. Without even checking the number/name flashing on the phone I knew it was from home - [Ring tone is set to the song " masakkali masakkali "] Dad on the other end wanted step by step procedure to logon to my laptop and then he needed to logon to gmail. We've (Sis and me)been telling him to learn this bit from quite some time now. Not that he is unaware of the keys,he does have first hand experience working with Url's and other computer basics while he was in his tenure. But this techie stuff is something that doesn't get onto his heads now at this age within a go. I proudly admire his attempt to learn and excel it. Now, it was a day when sis was still in Australia and Dad wanted to catch her online. Why now? Can we do it tomorrow .- Asked I. No we have some relatives at home, so it would be nice if we can get her online now - came the respone. ( Some relati...
