new year diary 2010

This blog was nearly silent in the last year. Let new year bring new hope to post something here.

On this occasion, let me share this electronic diary 2010.
It was forwarded to me by one my friends. I found it useful and worth sharing.

@All
May all of you get success in your respective goals for the coming year.

Valuable

This is one of my favorite photographs clicked by me.

You may be wondering what is so special about this simple photograph of one silver plate?
Answer:
It is not a silver plate.
Remember William Shakespeare's quote 'All that glitters is not ...' .

To help you a bit; let me give you a hint.
This is not a silver plate but something much more valuable than it.

OK. If you haven't guessed it yet, here is the answer.
It is a top view of glass of water. [:)]

Then why did I said that it is more valuable than silver?
Because one cannot survive without water but silver is not a necessity.

Many a times we ignore the importance of things that are readily available to us. In Sanskrit we call this 'अतिपरिचयात अवज्ञा'(Atiparichayat avadnya).

Let us understand that economic 'value' of something do not determine its real 'value'. In fact most of the valuable things in life comes free or they are very inexpensive.

Express yourself

This is what I read in one of the ads of 'Airtel'

An awkward question...
A difficult answer...
An embarrassing truth...
A flattering lie...
A frank yes...
A blunt no...
A warm hello...
A curt goodbye...
A sincere sorry...
A heartfelt thanks...

Make the most of every moment...
Leave nothing unsaid. Express Yourself.

Well, that's why I have started this blog.
the 'Leave nothing unsaid' part may not be feasible...

So, I will express 'Anything which I feel worth sharing...'.
This makes a brief description for this blog.
