SURVIVAL

http://www.hindu.com/fr/2006/11/03/images/2006110301160101.jpg

She had lost it all. Her family, her home and any source of financial income. There was nothing she could do and there was no where for her to go. Alisha was only 15 years of age and her family had been wiped out due to the war. An explosive was launched into her home, taking her mother, father and brother with it. As she wandered the streets looking for food and possibly some place to stay, she ran into Chandinee. Chandinee was dressed in an elegant silk outfit covered with gold embroideries. She looked like a dancer and indeed she was. Chandinee saw the condition she was in and decided to take her in. They went back to her hostel, which turned out to be a prostitute home. During the day Chandinee danced for a living and at night she sold her body to the slums. It was the only way to survive in the world. Under Chandinee's guidance, Alisha learned how to dance as graceful as her mentor. She danced for the hostiles and collected a few rupees. Enough for her to put food in her stomach. Just like Chandinee, as soon as Alisha came of age, she followed the steps of her mentor and began earning a livelihood in the slums of India...........

INTERESTING NEWS: DIVORCE THROUGH TEXT MESSAGE

For those that want to avoid the confrontation of a mean and nasty divorce, you can now get it done through a simple text message. In Malaysia they have now made it valid to divorce your spouse through a text message. The government's adviser on religious affairs, Mahathir Mohammed, says along as the message is clear and unambiguous, it is valid under Islamic Sharia Law. Dr Abdul Hamid Othman, of New Straits Times daily newspaper, said that "SMS is just another form of writing." That why it is legible to do it this way as well. The man who first sent the text message, Mr. Shamsudin sent the message saying, "If you do not leave your parents' house, you'll be divorced." Just as quickly as it was sent, the marriage had been annulled. It may seem very brief, but even in Islamic religion, a man can say "talaq" (I divorce you) three times and the couple will be divorced. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3100143.stm

Dhalwattie hired three young adolesents to come work for her, two girls and one boy. Finally, May 9th had arrived. As she was setting up her booth, she recieved a phone call. "Ellllloooo!" she answered joyfully. "Oh, Parrot-batti! It's you gyal! How you do?" As the conversation continued she noticed a young lady and two boys walking past her booth, but the girl was giving her a wicked look. Dhalwattie stared back in confusion. "I don't know where these lazy chillldren are, they were supposed to come help me set up," she said into the reciever of her phone. "Oh wait, I tink I see one now. Lawwwd look how she watching me funny. Gyal I will call you back laatah...tek care...bye." And she hung up the phone. "Aye you gyurl over there, you think you can get away from working? You all get over here now!" The girl smiled widely and called her two friends behind her to go into the kitchen. There Dhalwattie gave them their uniforms and ordered them to start making the roti's. The crowd at the gate was getting overwhelming. One of the girls friend, asked if he could go get the equpiment from the truck. Dhalwattie sweetly replied, "Aye bai, you nah do nothing, stay right here and finish your cookin, let one of dem gyal go and get the stuff." She sends the girl out of the park to go get the equipment and when she comes back, the girl turned into a boy! "How did that gyal turn into a bai(boy)?!" She exclaimed. Dhalwattie figured something fishy was going on. She turned around and she saw three people walking toward her and they were already dressed in chef's uniforms. After putting two and two together, she realized she had been bamboozled! She picked up a belna(rolling pin) and was going to go after the three imposters. But before she could, the three of them had dropped the uniforms and had to run out of the kitchen. Dhalwattie said some nasty things under her breath, but let it go. The children were gone and there was nothing she could do about it. This was going to make on heck of a story to tell her friends!

AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE...

The day she agonized ever since she was a young woman had finally come. It was her wedding day. For most, a wedding is a joyous occasion to celebrate the joining of two lovers. But for Kaminee it was a decision that was going to ruin her life. In the Hindu religion, all marriages were arranged. There was no such thing as a love marriage, but instead your parents decided who you were going to marry. Sometimes even before you were born.

The groom they picked for her was a wealthy man, with a high social status. He was a huge business tycoon, but his personality was horrible. He was a heavy drinker, a smoker, and he had another woman on the side by the name of Shalena. He even told his new bride to be that he wouldn't give up his mistress, even if they were married. Kaminee tried to warn her parents about the man they had chosen for her, but they believed she was only trying to get out of the marriage.

Kaminee had no choice. She was going to have to marry the man her parents chose for her, despite what he was truly like. That even meant she had to give up the one person in her life who meant the world to her. He was the one who she truly wanted to marry. Her mystery lover went by the name of Dev and they had been together for five years, but her parents never knew. If they found out, they would've killed her! So she had to sacrafice what she had and do what made her parents happy.

Finally the wedding day had come. As she sat in her room, staring down at her henna adored hands, there came a knock at her balcony window...............TO BE CONTINUED...............(in another blog story)

THROWBACK: DO YOU REMEMBER TAMAGOTCHI?

One of the best toys to come out in the 90's was the Tamagotchi. The Tamagotchi was a computerized pet that could live comfortably on a key chain or in the pocket of a child. It is the size of a small egg and contains an LCD screen. Here one can feed, play, and even clean up after it, once it's done its business. When this little toy first came out, it was a huge success in Japan and when it hit North America, kids went crazy for it!

The Tamagotchi was also a competition between friends. The better you took care of your pet, the higher it's status would be. The amount of times you played with it and how well you looked after it was recorded into the digital device. But if you happened to be a bad pet owner, your pet would surely suffer and than die. Thus, causing you to have to reset the toy and start all over again to build up it's happiness and health. This taught a cruel, but valuable lesson to most young children who happened to leave the toy in their book bag for the weekend. Tamagotchi's came in a number of colors and had many different characteristics. This was definitely a pet no one could ever forget!

I personally chose this toy because I grew up with one. I remember how fun it was to feed it cookies and ice cream and than clean up it's mess. Sometimes I would purposely overfeed it and it would get sick on me. But that was no problem. All I had to do was give it some medicine and it was happy again. The best part for me was watching the pet grow up and launching off in a space shuttle, completing that generation......

Baby Krishna

Hindu God Krishna(baby)

Krishna was born into the Mathura family, one of the richest families at the time. He was the eighth child born to King and Queen Mathura and seemed to be the most wickedest. One day, a horrible crime was commited. Krishna's brothers and sisters were all killed by the evil devil. The devil than threw his parents into prison and Krishna was left to fend for himself. Due to the kindness of a stranger, he feared for Krishna's life and sent him away. He was later found by Yashoda, who became his step mother and took him in as her own.

Krishna was very wicked though. He would steal and was full of mischief. Some might believe that he was the type to steal gold and rubies, but he wasn't. Instead, him and his step brother preffered to break into the neighbors homes and steal butter! They would sneak into the kitchen while the women were out hanging their clothes on the line and would eat all the butter out of the pots. Everyday the neighbors would complain to his mother and he would get scolded and wouldn't get to play his prized flute. No matter how much he got scolded, he would not grow out of his childish ways and his mother could not handle it anymore.

She called upon a great pundit and he told her that her son was indeed one of the Gods. Yashoda found it ridiculous and thought the pandit was just after her money. He warned her many times, but she still did not believe him. One day, Yashoda recieved another complaint about Krishna stealing butter again, and she secretly went to the house to catch him red handed. As she entered the house, she saw him devouring the butter from the pots. She caught his hand and asked him to open his mouth. At first he refused, but after persuading him, he finally did. When he did though, Yashoda was shocked at what she saw. In his mouth there was the Universe. It was indeed true that Krishna was a God and there were many more interesting events to come.................

I FOUND MY WALLET AFTER 55 YEARS!

After 55 years, a misplaced wallet has finally been found! Two classic car collectors from Idaho found the wallet in the back of an antique car they were planning on restoring. It turns out the wallet came from a man known as Glenn Goodlove, formerly known as Glenn Putnam. Goodlove says that he may have possibly lost the wallet in 1964 while making out with a girl in his car. At the time, he was home on leave from the U.S. Navy. The wallet contained a ten dollar bill, his military ID, his Social Security card, drivers license, and several jewlery reciepts from 1952. The two men looked up Goodlove on the internet and returned the wallet to him. He says that the wallet brought back many memories of his old home and car.
