Quotable Quotes
2008-02-29 08:42:00
If our fathers are poor, it is our fate but, if our fathers-in-law are a poor, it is our fault. We were born intelligent, only education ruined us. Practice makes perfection ;but nobody is perfect, so why to practise? If it is true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for? Since light travels faster than sound, people appear bright until we hear them speak. How come "abbreviated" is such a long word? Money is not everything. There are Master & Visa Cards. Behind every successful man, there is a woman. And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two. Every man should marry. After all, happiness is not the only thing in life. The wise never marry and when they marry they become otherwise. Never put off the work till tomorrow, what we can put off today. "Our future depends on our dreams". So let us go to sleep. "Hard work never killed anybody". But why take the risk. "Work fascinates us "...

Thanksgiving Day is celebrated every year on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States of America. It has a very interesting history and its origin can be traced back to the 16th century when the first thanksgiving dinner is said to have taken place.The legendary pilgrims, crossed the Atlantic in the year 1620 in Mayflower-a 17th Century sailing vessel. About 102 people travelled for nearly two months with extreme difficulty. This was so because they were kept in the cargo space of the sailing vessel.No one was allowed to go on the deck due to terrible storms. The pilgrims comforted themselves by singing Psalms, a sacred song from the Holy Bible.The pilgrims reached Plymouth rock on December 11th 1620, after a sea journey of 66 days.

India has won the 4th ODI against Pakistan by 6 wickets and won the series in the Indian Oil cup with still one ODI left. After 24 years of long gap India has won an ODI series victory against Pakistan in Indian soil. Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat but lost the important wicket of Salman Butt in the second ball of the match and after that Pakistan never looked to pose a big score to challenge India. Once Butt was out Malik and Younis started slowly and there was once again a good performance form Yousuf and Misabul, but not threatening one for India. They have lost wickets at crucial times when a partnership was built and Afridi getting out cheaply in middle overs made their task more difficult Pakistan scored 254 at the end which was not tough to chase but was a defending score for India. India lost wickets of Ganguly and Gambhir in starting overs but before the class batting by Sachin Tendulkar the score looked too small for his caliber and his 100+ partners...

Alcoholism, also known as alcohol dependence or alcohol addiction is a disease that includes the following symptoms, such as craving for alcohol, a strong need, or urge, to drink, loss of control-not being able to stop drinking once drinking has begun, physical dependence, withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety after stopping drinking, and tolerance, the need to drink greater amounts of alcohol to get "high."

Anil Kumble has been named India's new Test captain for the upcoming home series against Pakistan, putting an end to the prolonged speculations on the matter. The national selectors deliberated at length before deciding to opt for the 37-year-old Kumble ahead of ODI and Twenty20 skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni who was widely tipped to get the reins of the Test team as well. The announcement was made by the BCCI Joint Secretary M P Pandove, just a few minutes before midnight and the Chairman of the Selection Committee Dilip Vengsarkar was not present to take queries from the media.

Pillow- Good Sleep-Neck Pain

We must give importance to the pillow we use for sleeping. We must not ignore pillow as a humble thing . If we choose and use a right pillow under our head and neck we can have a nice and comfortable sleep and we will wake up fresh in the morning. If we use a wrong pillow then we will have neck pain and sometimes we will find it difficult to move the head from side to side. Pillow of the right quality and size will help us to have a good sleep without neck or back pain. The choice of our pillow will depend upon our sleeping posture or position. If we sleep on our back, then we have to choose a medium loft, denser pillow to fully support our neck and head correctly. And if we sleep on our sides then we have to choose a more firm and substantial pillow so that our spine is actually aligned for the most comfortable sleep possible.And if we sleep on our stomach, then we must choose a thinner, softer pillow, which will help us to avoid positions that will put lots or stre...

Mother-Daughter Relationship
2007-10-23 16:36:00
Daughters love their mothers, when they are young and show their unconditional love to their mothers. But as these girls mature into independent women, sweet, unconditional feelings of love can change, possibly leading to bitter relationships between a mother and a daughter.The mother-daughter relationship is considered the most significant of all intergenerational relationships. Estrangement between a mother and a daughter is a combination of individual, familial, and societal factors and the reasons why mothers and daughters become estranged can be varied and complex. The mother’s generation may have included social aspects such as economic depression, nuclear families, early marriage, and basic education. However, as society changes and evolves, the daughter may grow up in a completely different culture, in a robust economy, varied family structures, delayed marriage, immediate focus on a career, and higher education.

Should Heart Patients avoid Meat ?
2007-10-22 15:10:00
Heart disease is not caused just by eating meat, but rather by the fat that it contributes to our diet. Dietary fat, saturated fat in particular, is the main cause for our heart disease. Dietary cholesterol is not as great a concern, except for a few, genetically predisposed individuals. Becoming a vegetarian and taking in milk &milk products and eggs and avoiding meat is known as lacto-ovo vegetarian. Dairy products and eggs contain a great deal of cholesterol and saturated fat. It is possible for a lacto-ovo vegetarian to be at a greater risk for heart disease than a meat eater, if that vegetarian eats lots of full fat cheese, eggs, and whole milk and the meat eater sticks to only the leanest cuts of meat and poultry while including plenty of fish that is high in omega 3 fatty acids. In other words, merely becoming a lacto-ovo vegetarian will not cut the risk of heart disease.If we educate ourselves as to the leanest cuts of meat, remove all fat before cooking...

What is a cornea and how do cornea transplants restore sight?The cornea is a clear dime-sized tissue that covers the front of the eye. If the cornea becomes clouded through disease or injury, vision is impaired and sometimes lost entirely.The only substitute for a human cornea is another human cornea donated at death by someone who thus leaves a living legacy.
