Engulfed by love..yet
Suffocate for more
Passion swims you afloat..you are
Engulfed in love
Succeed to help success
Who would not want to be sucessfull..Its only funny that the successful ones say “I don’t care about being successful.. its the satisfaction that i get.. motivates me to move further”.. Howcome the same people don’t say the same words when things were not-so-successful-times…Belive and accept that every one aspires to be successful in their own genre of things .. and there is not need to feel guilty of being successful. After-all you are entitled to to fruits of your labor. (I am writing this article assuming that your success comes out of your legitimate – truthful – honest manner of working without any kind of backstabbing)
There are a certain category of people who might make you feel miserable for being the best and successful in the things you do.. Its these people you need to stay away from. . They not only make you feel quitly for being yourself…(oh!.. so you got the promotion.. congtrats.. but then.. that was a pretty easy project to do and you had ample time to complete it well before time).. but they also drain you of the motivating force …( oh!.. still on your desk.. working on another promotion is it ? ? )… surely you can do away with such comments and let some fresh air (productive ideas) into your mind.
Once in a while.. just sit back and watch a bunch of aspiring minds at work. If you feel.. its within your capacity to help them realize their dream.. then drop discreet ideas and suggestions.. that might help the person think and work towards his goal. This way you will spare him of the emotion to feel obliged to you.. and grant him the satisfaction of achieving his dreams in his own merit.
Show thumbnail Image preview of your Photoblog posts…using Blidgets
Photoblogs are a popular way of expression amongst bloggers. There are numerous photo hosting sites such as photoblog.com , Animus3.com , Flickr.com,slide.com.. etc etc.. the list is endless. But there are some Bloggers out here.. who have already established themselves among their blogzone. They would rather host their Photoblog in the same platform ( blogspot / wordpress ..etc etc)..due to established readership. Moving to a mew platform like flicker,photoblog et etc would mean.. they will have to network from square one.
Its a good idea to display your photoblog pics ( as an thumbnail image preview.) in your main blog.. so that the readers will know about your new Photoblog and can also see a preview of the images whenever you make an update.

Men and Megaserials
If you are from India.. then you probably know what i am talking about here. For the rest of the world Megaserials as TV shows that are on the air for the past 5 years and show the prospects of being in air for the next 15 years. It starts of with a single story line.. proceeds at some point to branch out and spread its foliage.. and something something happens and then the serial reaches its end with a big budget closing ceremony.
Its widely accepted the housewives are the lone audience for these megaserials that are relayed on TV between 10.00 am and 10.00pm. As it is the housewife ( as the name suggests) spends time “at home” she has nothing to do except watch TV serials. For the menfolk watch News – Sports – Market Analysis.
Allow me to reveal some home truths here. It may be accepted the “Men Donot Watch Megaserials” , for these are boring stuff watched and appreciated by the women. This is so not true. Men may not “sit and watch” these shows… but every now and then they make their discreet enquiries about the plot of these serials,.. they say something like..”Honey.. what happend to the serail at 9.00 .. where XYZ eloped with the bar guy.. or the ABC person convited for trial”.. poor lady of the house narrates the plot only to get ..” and this is the crap you ladies sit and watch all day long”… Not stopping here.. the next week … he wants to be updated of the plot.. with another discreet query.. and the saga continues.. .. ..
Who Am I .. …
Aimless wanderings…&
Thoughtless meanderings…
Tricks our wave of emotions
Towards drops of despair
Surf over the wavy turf
Surface over the roguish tides
You are the wind that rides the tides
You are the wind that leaps over waves
Guinness attempt that went wrong
Would we refuse a opportunity if it would grant us our name in the Guinness world record book… i guess not. Here is the news of one loving father of a brilliant son who wanted his son’s name to appear in the wolrd famous Guinness Record book.. but.. things went wrong when he came public with the feat.
THE FACTS:-
This is the latest news buzzing around amongst the Indian Medical Association and the whole of TamilNadu. This involves a 15 year old boy, Dileepan Raj, born to Dr.Murugesan and Dr. Gandhimathi ( yes .. you guessed right.. both parents are practicing doctors) has performed Cesarean section and delivered a baby at his parent’s Nursing home in Manapparai district in TamilNadu. He has performed this ‘feat’ under the guidance and supervision of his parents. The surgery was performed approximately 3 months ago.. but this news reached the media just few days back when Dr.Murugesan (the father) screened the video footage of the surgery (which was being performed by his son) to the authorities of the Indian Medical Association.. in attempt to gain recognition to his Son’s brilliance and in turn get his son’s name entered into the Guinness World Record
However his intentions got grounded and his ladder to fame toppled over him when the IMA declared this act as illegal and unethical. The Govt.Of India has ordered a probe into this issue Surgery performed by a Minor. Dr.Murugesan went wild when the IMA authorities condemned his act and said it was no feat.. but breach of trust.. The Lady on whom the Cesarean Operation was performed was from a village. She came to the nursing home for delivery…and the family believed the doctor when he said that the lady had developed complications and normal delivery will not be possible and a cesarean operation is needed to save the mother and the child.
Just like any other villager.. the family placed their trust on the doctor and signed the requisite forms which they thought was the “permission to perform a Cesarean Operation”. Little they suspected that a 15 year old will be performing a surgery involving the lives of 2 unsuspecting souls. However today , 3 months after the surgery, the mother and child are said to be doing fine.
MY POINT OF VIEW
Its only natural for parents to see a spark of brilliance in their child and have the wish to take their child’s skills to greater heights of glory. I am of the opinion that skills akin painting-..etc can be learnt and perfected with practice even if the person has little or no technical knowledge about the paints used / strokes of Davinci / papers of italy etc..etc.. Infact there is no harm done if one project goes wrong. All the person stand to loose is his canvas and some materials used. But performing a surgery as vital as a C-section cannot be termed as a skill that can be learnt with practice alone. One needs to have the knowledge – logic- forethought about the entire procedure and the science involved. This is not some 15 marks question appearing in the 10 std Public exam question paper .. where you go in for a revaluation … if you think there is some mistake with the correction procedure.
Perhaps if Dr.Murugesan and Dr.Gandhimathi had approached the Education department for a fast track degree for their son.. with special screening tests to examine his capabilities in understanding the medical procedures and the theory involved, and various other examinations , control-experiments..etc..etc which would put him at par with other licensed – established doctors.. then truly this news would have proved fruitful both for the boy , Dileepan Raj and his parents.
Dileepan is just a 15 year old…like any-other teenager.. Wonder how he is taking all this pressure. He has is board exams ahead of him. His teachers and friends are never going to interact with him in the same manner as they did few weeks back. He will be seen as a subject as controversy in his school. Even-though brilliant….. he can’t volunteer to answer a science quiz in his class.. coz then he will be labeled as a “show off”. I truly feel sad for this chap. He just did what his parents told him to do, and they promised him that he is going to be famous one day… sad.. he got famous for all the wrong reasons
JUST ONE QUESTION FOR DILEEPAN’S PARENTS
Dr.Murugesan Dr.Gandhimathi claim that they had been training their son to perform such a surgery for the past 2-3 years. Well.. does his medical license authorize him to train a minor on medical practices ? ?.

- Locate the <div class=’post-header-line-1’/> and insert the following right after it (and before <div class=’post-body’>)

Photofeed
By now most of you will be familiar with different kinds of webfeeds like the Rss-feeds, Atom-feeds, JSON-feeds etc. I am looking for feeds which contain images. This is My PhotoBlog and this is the URL of my post feed
http://photoblog-by-deepa.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
where each picture is accompanied by a short description
When this feed is used to display the contents of my photoblog.. I either have the option of showing just the post-titles ( no image and no description) or show description ( show full image and full description). I am in search of some procedure that will allow me to display the images as a thumbnail ( say about 100 x100).. so that my readers who come here will know that there has been an update at my photoblog and can click on the picture to get to see the pic in its full size
What good is a feed for photoblog, if it cannot give a preview of the image. I have googled, contacted feedburner and Yahoo-Piped for almost 3 weeks but no luck. If anyone reading this has some insight into developing a image-preview mode for photoblog feed.. Please…please…please…drop your word here…This is an open cry for help from a fellow blogger who loves to take pictures once in a while
