Merry Christmas 2010

Christmas is both a sacred religious holiday and a worldwide cultural and commercial phenomenon. For two millennia, people around the world have been observing it with traditions and practices that are both religious and secular in nature. Christians celebrate Christmas Day as the anniversary of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, a spiritual leader whose teachings form the basis of their religion. Popular customs include exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, attending church, sharing meals with family and friends and, of course, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive. December 25–Christmas Day–has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1870.

How to achieve personal excellence

Here are some tips on how to achieve personal excellence:

Believe in yourself:
If you don't believe in yourself, how do you expect anyone else to believe in you?

Keep building your skills:
The path to excellence requires constant upgrading and skills development.

 

Get out of your comfort zone:
If you move beyond that area of comfort, even by a little bit, you start facing things which you are not exposed to before.

Be around the best:
Cut yourself loose from people who don't support you and increase your contact with the people who do.

Set huge goals:
Not the normal, standard goals which you know you will definitely be achieving with a certain amount of work and effort. Aim higher.

Food for ur LOVE

food for LOVE : (chocablog.com image)

Make everyday a day for love and romance. With this recipe, love can't stay too far from your kitchen!

Make sure it is simple, delicious and easy-to-do. Spending too much time cooking a complicated meal is something none of us look forward to!

Red being the colour of the day, it's easy to add this vibrant colour to your Valentine's Day meals. For breakfast, you can use beautiful bright red fruit like perfect heart-shaped strawberries, deep red cranberries or even an apple to give it that special touch. Cranberry juice is a good alternative to your regular orange or apple juice. You can add dried cranberries to your morning cereal. For the slightly more adventurous, bake cranberry muffins. However, nothing can beat a crisp French toast for breakfast. There are many versions of this toast. Some believe that it was a creation of some medieval European cooks who used stale bread to feed their families with. They revived this bread with moisture and heat and ate it. Some Medieval recipes for 'French toast' suggest that it was enjoyed by the wealthy since, in those days, cookbooks were written by the rich for the rich. The recipes used the finest white bread with the crusts trimmed off, something a poor person would never do. Recipes for 'French toast' can be traced back to the Romans. One of the original French names for this dish is 'pain a la Romaine', or Roman bread.

Chocolate French Toast with fresh strawberries
Ingredients: 2/3 cup sugar; 1/3 cup cocoa powder; 1/8 tsp baking powder; 1/4 tsp salt; 1 cup milk; 4 large eggs; 1 tsp vanilla essence; 4 thick slices bread; 1/4 cup butter; icing sugar for garnishing; 200g fresh strawberries

Method: In a bowl, combine the sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well blended and no cocoa lumps remain. Pour in half of the milk and whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Add the remaining milk, the eggs, and the vanilla. Whisk until blended well.

Arrange the bread in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish (or similar vessel) and pour the cocoa mixture over the bread. Turn the bread once to get both sides nicely coated. Poke each bread slice repeatedly with the tines of a fork to make it absorb the batter. Let it soak, turning every 10 minutes, until the bread is well soaked.

Heat the butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. When melted and hot, carefully lift the bread slices, one at a time, from the batter to the pan. Cook until the underside is brown and lightly crisp. You can lower the flame if the slices are browning too fast. Flip and continue cooking until the slices are slightly puffed in the centre and are bouncy to the touch. Then transfer the French toast to the plate and serve immediately with strawberries dusted with icing sugar.

Accused was EMAMI cold Cream

Tring Tring. . .i hate this sound.There was a time when "You n i in this beautiful world" goes my ear drum and makes me fell in HEAVEN.Unfourtunately damn dats my faith. m upset wid the world MOBILE....When i c my fellows murmebing in cell fon with their especial 1 the only world that comes in my mind is "WISH I HAD the 1" . . .them it takes me to the place where i used to whisper at night after 11.PM, since i had RELIANCE FREE night pack that i got from one of the Mobile shop in MEERUT,UP INDIA.

The day was covered with LIGHTS and candles, I was in fresh mood for shopping near by MEERUT city.It was 12:20 pm and i was in the height of enjoying the hour."Airplane : BOB ft. HARLEY WILLIAMS" was on my way."BHAYA KAHA PAR JANAH HEY ?", a riskshaw drive with long moustage and uncomed hair asked me, but the Qwery was god one 4 me, cuz i was not know where was MEERUT city...hehehe. . .I simple replied "BEGUM BRIDGE". I was known m far way from my destination.My only fellow from SIKKIM, Amir Ji was beside me. . .giving me a cute smile every time, dont know what run in his mind. So finally we reached BEGUM BRIDGE, the interesting part was I was in half paint and t-shirt. I was to repair my laptop INTEX charger, so with out looking here and there, I looked only to those shops and service center where i could fix my problem.My neck started paining some where written HCL begumpul pn.no 99923456, COMPAQ begumpul . . . . blah blah. . .sorry I coldn't find my choice. So I started stretching my eyes towards small repairing center. finally I got it. ..shit! dat was duplicate, but was fit in my system.The shop owner snatched 500 rs from my hand, without any hasitation I thanked him wid my smileless smile.

It was silent from 2 hours, and there was no any sign of being there. So I slowely put my hand in my pocket to verify whether it was there, instead a small cute "EMANI cold cream" jumped on my palm, I was shocked. . . how could this happen ? ? ? Wheres my lifeine ? ? ? "AMIR AMIR . . where is my phone ? ? ?". I fell like fallen from NiGERIA FALLS and shank as no one gonna find me now. "LYA HO !" the only words I could auter."LYA JHARACHA RIKSHAW MA. . .". I rewind the time when I was listening to music and driver asked me, "Yeah ! I had emami + my cell, I was wearing half-paint". Bullshit ! ! I was thinking EMAMI as CELL FON. OMGosh! I had to return back hostel, I was still thinking about it . . I missed the song that used to make me smile . . .the CONTACT from previous 3 yrs. . . if any one had to type those LOST contact den I am preety sure that it must be a PHYSICAL TORTURE. I wish no one get that cell in future.

I realised that the main accused regading loosing my cell fon was "EMAMI cold cream" . . . I was so angry wid it, but also sometimes it play vital role in my LIPS.

Facing the DESTINY. . .

When i was a kid i used to look at those bright star and wonder to reach there. My mama always  used to tell me "SON THEY R FAR AWAY FROM US". But no matter what c say I was in my way  of  gazing and thinking to reach and say "LOOK MOM M HERE".....I had a curiosity of knowing new things and implement in my life.

I still remember When I was in my IIIrd grade my mom never use to come to pick me at my school. Some day the MONSOON rain had wetted me and SUMMER sun had burnt me, I used to think. My mom doesn’t LOVE me. From ma childhood only my mama leaves me in my own foot, either the hurricanes come or earthquake,  I have to resist.

 Slowly the time passed and the wind changed. I moved towards JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, there i get my first chance to hang out  with my colleagues’ was in Vth grade, we get shifted to NEW DEVELOPEMENT AREA, my DAD had built a building for us of two stories.(NOW ITS 5). Since he was from GORKHA BATELLION I have to wake up early in the morning and finish my duties at right time. He too use to SHOUT at me without ny reason. Sometimes I tend to use SLANG word with in my heart, but can’t speak out. With my efforts and hard work I jumped to X grade, mama still didn’t had time to say "BEST OF LUCK"........but there is always warmth  feeling in my heart "I LOVE U MOM".........and c is close 2 me forever.

Gradually the heat of teen attracted me, Namchi was my best dating spot..hahahahaha.....The word uttered at those moment blindly as if i have sneezed. We had to gib class X BOARD  examination at Namchi Girls Senior Sec. School. All the boys were on the best mood for at least  1month.I got to know few of them but hardly remembered 2 or 3. That was the time when I enjoyed a lot. Gone for Samduptcha wid my fellows and many others places. I Come 2 know how girls and boys spend their time.....unfortunately I DIDNT. . .I had to go for my friend's dating alone with him(as a supporter). The FEBRUARY 2006 was awesome month in my entire teen.

I opted for DIPLOMA on 2007 and i got to know many new things which i was not aware in my entire life. I got more interested in COMPUTER SCIENCE and Tech . . .wanna know more about how  the things happens and come to existence. That was my RIGHT DECISION on march 2007 when I got my CLASS X result. I have curiosity to know more new and new things. What the developed country has which we doesn’t have. If  any new ideas came in ours people mind then it is said that the idea was used in European country 20 yrs. back. Those r the little things that is pulling me to know. . Y?? ? Not.. HOW? ? ? If u know Y their is solution for HOW. TRY IT ONCE. . .So i was in my Diploma level. . .ma and my friend developed many small  websites and blogs and also last yr we developed AUTOMATED ATTENDANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (Attendance of faculty online through INTRANET) now m 20 already completed my DIPLOMA  ENGINEERING at 2010 from CCCT, SIKKIM.

2012: Beginning of the End or Why the World Won't End?

Remember the Y2K scare? It came and went without much of a whimper because of adequate planning and analysis of the situation. Impressive movie special effects aside, Dec. 21, 2012, won't be the end of the world as we know. It will, however, be another winter solstice.

Much like Y2K, 2012 has been analyzed and the science of the end of the Earth thoroughly studied. Contrary to some of the common beliefs out there, the science behind the end of the world quickly unravels when pinned down to the 2012 timeline. Below, NASA Scientists answer several questions that we're frequently asked regarding 2012.

Question (Q): Are there any threats to the Earth in 2012? Many Internet websites say the world will end in December 2012.
Answer (A): Nothing bad will happen to the Earth in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012.

Q: What is the origin of the prediction that the world will end in 2012?
A: The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012. Then these two fables were linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 -- hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012.

Q: Does the Mayan calendar end in December 2012?
A: Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then -- just as your calendar begins again on January 1 -- another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.

Q: How do NASA scientists feel about claims of pending doomsday?
A: For any claims of disaster or dramatic changes in 2012, where is the science? Where is the evidence? There is none, and for all the fictional assertions, whether they are made in books, movies, documentaries or over the Internet, we cannot change that simple fact. There is no credible evidence for any of the assertions made in support of unusual events taking place in December 2012.

Q: Is there a danger from giant solar storms predicted for 2012?
A: Solar activity has a regular cycle, with peaks approximately every 11 years. Near these activity peaks, solar flares can cause some interruption of satellite communications, although engineers are learning how to build electronics that are protected against most solar storms. But there is no special risk associated with 2012. The next solar maximum will occur in the 2012-2014 time frame and is predicted to be an average solar cycle, no different than previous cycles throughout history.
