Believing is seeing…
Hello all,
Most of us have heard the phrase “seeing is believing”. Many obstinate folk persist that only if they SEE things will they BELIEVE it.
But have you heard about “believing is seeing”? I’ll tell you a little story to enhance my point.

Once, there was a small boy in India named Ram. Ram lived with his mother, and was from a very poor family. His school was far away from his house, and was separated by a forest.
One day, it was Ram’s teacher’s birthday. Ram wanted to give his teacher a good birthday present. As Ram asked his mother for something to give his teacher, his mother said that they were very poor, and could not afford anything. She asked Ram to go to the forest and ask Lord Krishna(The Protector, or the holy Hindu trinity) for something to give. Ram agreed, and while going to school, he asked aloud to the forest for something to give. Lor Krishna appeared before him, and gave him a jug of milk.

Ram happily took the jug of milk to his teacher, and his teacher gave it to his assistant to make some tea. But to the assistant’s amazement, as soon as he used up the milk in the jug, the jug refilled itself with milk!
The teacher was also amazed and asked Ram where he got the jug from. Ram said that Lod Krishna gave it to him in the forest. At this, the teacher, the assistant, and all the students laughed out loud. The teacher said, “Ram, there is no God Krishna in the forest! If there is, let us all proceed to there, and Ram can show us his God!”
So Ram went to the forest, accompanied by his teacher, assistant and the rest of the students. On arriving at the forest, Ram called out to Lord Krishna. But He did not appear. After much calling, a voice filled the air, the voice of Lord Krishna, which said,
“How can they see me Ram? They don’t even believe I exist!”
Yes ladies and gentlemen, believing is seeing. If you believe something will happen, you will see it happen. If you believe in God, you will be blessed by God. If you believe in Lord Krishna in the forest, Lord Krishna in the forest will appear before you.
If you don’t believe in something, then how can you see it? Aethists challenge God fearing people to SHOW them God. How can these idiots see God when they don’t BELIEVE in God?
I’ll give you a practical example for this theory. Many hunters call it Hunter’s Eye. They shoot stuff they think they saw, because they believed it too much, and to their amazement, they’ll find that they had shot a tree or a bush!
So this is what I have to say… If you want to see God, believe in God. Believe in His benevolence… And one day, you will see your belief…
Au revoir…

Each of us has a universe inside…
Hello all,
I’ve am avid fan of Paulo Coehelo, and have read all of his books. I was reading his latest book named “Like the flowing river…” which is a collection of short stories and anecdotes. Many are strikingly beautiful, and I thought of sharing a few with you…
Heres one which struck me the most. I’ll explain it in my own way.
Once, an artist and Paulo Coehelo was trying to explain to an audience that each of us has a part of the universe (and God) within us. I’ve also pondered about this a lot, but never found such a simple explanation.
The artist said to the audience, “Look outside through the window, what do you see?”
The audience replied, “We see the street.”
Then the artist took a chart paper and hid the window with it. He tore out a small square piece of paper from the centre, and asked again, “Now what do you see?”
“We see the street.”
Then, he tore out many such pieces, and repeated the question.
“We still see the street through the many different holes.”
My sentiments exactly…
That was a beautiful way to portray what many of us ponder over for hours and days! Considering the road as the universe, and each hole in the chart paper as our souls, the artist conveyed the exact meaning!

And that, is what I have to say today… Each of us has the universe, and God, within ourself. That is what keeps us in hope. That is what we live for… Have a good day

Quake expected to hit South East Asia…
Hey all,
There have been reports about a major earthquake which may strike South East Asia soon. This report was published in the CNN IBN blog today…

There have been increased seismic
activities in the Java-Sumatra-Andaman region of South East Asia in the
past one month, and scientists at the Indian Insititute of Technology
(IIT), Mumbai, have warned of possibility of a major disaster in
Southeast Asia in the near future.PTI quoted D Chandrasekharam, a senior
professor in IIT-Mumbai’s Department of Earth Sciences, as saying that
more than 52 earthquakes of varying magnitude were recorded in the
region in the past one month.“Since December 25, 2006 till January 24
morning, the entire Java-Sumatra-Andaman Island subduction zone
experienced more than 51 earthquakes varying in magnitude from 4.2 to
7.5 on the Richter scale,” the earth science expert said. “This appears
to be a natural cyclic process but there is a possibility of it
triggering a major disaster,” he warned.He, however, revealed that volcanic
activities in the region had subsided after the devastating
earthquake-triggered tsunami of December 2004.The major earthquakes in the past one
month include two major earthquakes of 7.1 magnitude each in Taiwan on
December 26 and 7.5 in Molucca sea and two earthquakes of 4.9 and
6.1magnitude in Nicobar Islands.Chandrasekharam claims the majority of
these events are associated with ‘thrust fault’, an underground
phenomenon that had caused the 2004 tsunami killing nearly 2.5 lakh
people across several countries, including India.
Lets keep our fingers crossed, and hope, and pray, that a major disaster can be averted.

Yet another racist prowl…
Hello all,
As much as it saddens me, it infuriates me to decipher that there are still hardcore racists in this world, who are willing to go extremely public with their perverted opinions! Ladies and gentlemen, we are yet again facing another series of racsist strikes, courtesy Channel 4, UK. It began with Celebrity Big Brother, and now Shipwrecked has grabbed the handle!
Shipwrecked, a show that makes
castaways of two groups of young people on islands in the South
Pacific, has been widely criticized by viewers for allowing comments on
slavery to be aired.
An 18-year-old contestant on the show,
Lucy Buchanan, has been accused of supporting slavery, being racist and
mocking homosexuals and Blacks.
Claiming that the shows containing offensive comments were part of very early footage of Shipwrecked,
Channel 4 said that Lucy was pulled up by other contestants on the show
and she subsequently stopped making offensive comments.
Viewers took offence to some of the
comments Lucy said about Blacks, the British empire and fat people. “I
don’t like fat people, I don’t really like really ugly people, I don’t
like it when foreigners come into this country and they don’t take on
British culture and British values. I’m for the British Empire and
things. I’m for slavery, but that’s never going to come back,” she said
on the show.
Channel 4’s other show Big Brother
that caused the big racism controversy is being reviewed by a panel
that will put the editorial practices followed in the making of the
reality show under the scanner. In Big Brother, the ex-Indian celebrity, Shilpa Shetty was abused and was submitted to extreme racist views and opinions, by some 3rd rate British bi*ch named Jade Goody. Ms Goody Two Shoes called Shilpa a “dirty Indian”, a “dog”, a “Paki”, and India was called “a place where people are ill and thin”. Shilpa was also told to “F— off”.

Why why why people do we have racism? Arent we all from the same race? Arent we all part of that unforgivable species which is polluting the world? And Ms Goody Two Shoes calls Shilpa a “dirty” Indian. Dear pals, if it were me on that show, instead of Shilpa, that English b**ch would have had her last day in life with me pushing back the allegations up her throat with a hundred more racist attrocities! How dare she slander the noble and honourable country, which contains more culture and heritage than Ms Bitchy Goody and her entire civilization could ever dream to study!

Racism is an act of evil! Its the Devil’s weapon against the friends of God. It should be prevented, like Tony Blair said, in all forms. I’m sorry for getting emotional. At first, when I heard the Big Brother news, I wasnt the least bit sorry for Shilpa. I thought it was all media hype. Then I realized later that Ms Goody not only committed the crime, but later arrogantly refused to apologize. Somehow, the two women hugged and forgave each other on TV, which was evidently a staged drama for extremely fat cashchecks.
Anyway dear people, we need a drastic change against Racism… Lets join hands… Join my race, against Racism…

Apogee becomes Google Adwords certified
Hey all,
One of the best search engine marketing agencies in the world, named Apogee Search, became the first Google AdWords qualified company in Texas! Apogee is a search engine marketing firm, which helps websites succeed by employing clean techniques of raising search engine ranks.
The press release says that Apogee should have been the first Google AdWords qualified company in US, but they showed up late for the test
The President of Apogee, William Leake, would like to see all search marketing firms become AdWords qualified, to let costumers differentiate between quality services and the fraudsters. He said,
“I
would like to see all search marketing firms to become qualified Google AdWords companies. In an
industry still filled with far too many hucksters and snake oil sales types, a certification from a
credible third-party like Google can help increase overall industry professionalism, and provide a
minimum yardstick by which to evaluate vendors.”
Apogee became certified on 9th January, 2007. The Apogee Search Vice President, Brian Combs, aims at making all employees pass the Google Adwords test with a percentage above 90% (the Google pass percentage being 75%). He himself scored a 93% setting a good example
.
Apogee Search is, as I said before, an SEO Company. It is based in Austin, Texas, and was founded by internet pioneers and McKinsey&Co alumini. They have numerous search marketing methods like Paid Search, Natural Search(Search Engine Optimization), Affiliate marketing, and Pay Per Call.
A quote from a client :-” LCG/Apogee Search has been crucial to the growth of our company. Even
though we rarely outsource core activities like marketing, we have
worked with LCG/Apogee Search for more than four years.”
–Steve Ledbetter,
Vice President,
Academic Superstore
Cheers
And Congrats Apogee
May your service attain greater heights with this prestigious certification

A few words…
Hey all….
Just a few words of inspired poetry…
As the darkness prevails,
Over light and quails,
There doth rise, an equal,
And it starts a sequel;
Of endless starts,
And ends of fame darts,
Ahoy! Look to the fuming horizon,
And grasp the means of roaring Poseidon!- Neo Garfield

Uh… Google?
Hey all,
I had reported earlier today that Google was down. It was down for about 25 minutes. I checked up with a few of my friends, from UK, USA and Dubai, and all of them confirmed that Google was down.

But it seems that the rest of the netizens and Google critics are all in the dark about the 25 minute breakdown of the world’s largest search engine! No news reports, no blogs by Google authors!
So guys, speak out, did you realize that Google was down? Comments please!
Oh, you might be wondering why a peace blog is blogging about Google
Its just the simple fact that Google is an integral part of my life
