We call “not familiar faces” strangers - But when we call a person A stranger - we plant a seed strangeness in him That was my manager People called him a strange - they added another fear in me “He’s strict, new and a stranger too”. My pulse rate enhanced When I was introduced to him He looked through me I felt, I missed a beat To realize later, I misses the beat In his Rhythm in his look. I realize now the message behind his look He was looking all these years For that person; people mistook him “A new manager with a fiery look” Today we are no longer strangers Familiar faces, friendly looks Now I look through his eyes to know What I'm - Do I appeal to him? A little touch of care and attention Is all, what it made, the change in me. Now heaven is a place on earth for me.

As a child I too had my dreams About the person I should love, I searched for him In fairy tales Someone, handsome, wonderful But Different, from the world around me. Now I’m grown up I no longer dream I wait for my dream All of a sudden He cam into my life The one I longed for The one I dream’nt about He’s around me My life’s now changed I’m lucky My dream cam true To greet my dream I woke up My dream too woke up To see me off….. But I still live Around my dream.

I remember the first time I had seen Joe it was almost 25 years back, I had first seen him at the Bombay Airport as he used to work there and from that day I fell in love with him. I used to follow him everywhere he went and he at that time had many girlfriends, I even remember going up to each of his girlfriends and telling them to leave him alone as I was in love with him and would d threaten them. He once confronted me and told me to leave him alone but I had fallen so deeply in love with him that I could not see anything beyond him. He would date me from time to time and then this became regular so much so that he too started falling in love with me. I also remember telling lies and going to meet him secretly as his people were not fond of me, but that did not matter to us. We were too madly in love people (and still two mad lovers) to worry what the world said. Finally that day came & (secret) he first kissed me under the stairs and told me that he too was in love me, but ...

I still recall the tender smile, cheerful face Of my dearest DAD who shared and cheered My moment of pain, movements in pain You’re the greatest DAD I’ve ever seen. My nights were alive with your stories vivid In your cozy bosom, my fears were unfounded But today, I’m left to my self to my world Of memories enveloped in your gentle strong arms. How can I forget you DAD ? In may flower I see your face again Sentiments of love, rudiments of learning I owe my DAD – the alphabets of living. Memories of your kind letters Still bring holidays in my life Today I think and thank In my little world - THE GIANT OF A DAD I love and still do I love. I missed you not once, everyday I miss you Memories never dies, it only fades I can live in your memory But you can’t die in my heart.

The rise and fall in the market Makes the dawn of a new cigarette The old is sooner forgotten The young is sought after --- I mean A new brand in the market. My life too is like a cigarette I’m in his hands for sometime He makes the best use of me And leaves me for another. My life too is getting shorter With every puff he takes of me The paths of GLOWRY (glory) Lead but to a BUTT grave

Some of the effects of global warming will probably be positive, says sean thomas Belief in global warming is nowadays almost universal, and for a good reason. The evidence exists. But there is another widespread belief which is less justifiable: that global warming will have only negative effects. Consider the distant past. Two hundred million years ago the earth was much warmer than it is now: dinosaurs roamed the Antarctic, which was then lush and tropical. No one claims that this warming was terrible for velociraptors. So why is a warmer earth seen as a disaster for man? Of course, we all know global warming is going to cause dislocation. Increased storminess, desertification, and inundation from raised sea-levels are serious and understandable fears. There will inevitably be major costs as we adapt to our new environment. But maybe there will be swift and enormous gains as well. One look at a world map shows that vast tracts of land - in S...
