A double rainbow

There is a double rainbow outside right now! I have never witnessed two parallel rainbows - it is quite a sight! Infact, i have rarely seen a rainbow with so much clarity as this one. There are two - one of them is so clear and so close that I could almost reach for it! It had the whole office stop work and stand up, crowd around the glasses and admire it.

That makes my day !!!!

For those who are wondering whats all the fuss is about and about why a rainbow should prompt a post - in my point of view, to put it in perspective - After all, how often in a lifetime does one witness a double rainbow???

So thin and yet so thin

So far away and yet even at such distances the strings that connect you to
your home lands are stretched thin, but yet they pull with such strength
that it pains.

But then to be fair it is what makes who we are.

few more thoughts...

I am not much of a driver, but i do like the occasional drive in the car. I came across something very interesting here. You know two vehicles approach from opposite directions on a narrow road, one of them needs to give way to the other. Now, from where i come, the trick is to flick your light first to 'claim' the right to go through first. So, if you flick, the other driver should (thats a big SHOULD! doesnt work always) oblige by giving way.

Well, the interesting bit is here - it works the other way round. You flick your lights to 'grant' the right to the other to go first. So, you see you cant take the right away from the other, though you can give it to the other driver. You flick first, the other guy goes first.

very interesting....indeed very interesting !  Makes a tonne of difference on the road i think !

on a last note - its friday!

Just a thought....

Why would anyone wear a tonne of make-up to come to the office. I admit she is a good looking girl by herself and really doesn't need that level of make-up. It does more harm than good. But even so, why do you wear that amount of make-up to come to the office. I can understand if you going to a club or a big party but this doesn't make any sense to me...

Men more likely to die of broken heart

LONDON: Doctors have long understood the impact of grief on one's health.
Now, a new study has revealed how fragile a broken heart can really be.

Researchers in Britain have found that bereft people face the risk of death
in the first year of being widowed.

In fact, men are six times more likely to die of a broken heart than women.

According to lead researcher Dr Jaap Spreeuw of the Cass Business School in
London, the study has confirmed the existence of "broken heart syndrome".

"We all know that the death of a loved one will have massive impact on the
life of the husband or wife left behind, but this shows it will have direct
impact on their mortality. It statistically proves that people can die of a
broken heart during the earliest stages of bereavement.

"The effect is stronger for older people who have been married longer. The
good news is that after the first years of mourning, the chance of dying
goes down. Although it remains higher than for couples where neither
partner has died, it does lessen over time," Dr Spreeuw said.

Run run run.....

I have this urge to run away from everything. I dont know what I am running
away from, but its a constanat urge to do so. Whats going on, I have no
clue. I have been having difficulty concentrating at work. I have managed
to wrap up a big project effectively, and I was happy that it was done.
However, I failed to feel the sense of acheivement (not much anyway), but
still it counted for somthing, that I usually feel when I accomplish that
was challenging and difficult. This was one of the more tricky things that
I have worked on. It all went well in the end, inspite of having to jump
hurdles everyday constantly. Yet.....I don't feel it. It feels like
something has changed within me.

Am i no more who I was earlier? How earlier was I, me. Who is the true me?
Who am I now? What am I doing? Where is my life taking me?

I cant even dare think about any of this now. I try to constantly drown
myself to keep my head away from the questions that plague me. And I think
I am being successful in keeping my mind away.

When will I finally get over this? Will I ever?
