Picture Of The Day: Nature's Love

Does god exists?

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.

"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children?

If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things." The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.

The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.

"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!" "No!" the customer exclaimed.

"Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."

"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

God Does Exists..

Performance vs Position

A Priest dies & is awaiting his turn in line at the Heaven's Gates

Ahead of him is a guy, fashionably dressed, in dark sun glasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket & jeans.

God asks him: Please tell me who are you, so that I may know whether to admit you into the kingdom of Heaven or not?

The guy replies: I am Pandi, Auto driver from Chennai!

God consults his ledger, smiles & says to Pandi: Please take this silken robe & gold scarf & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ...

Now it is the priest's turn. He stands erect and speaks out in a booming voice: I am Pope's Assistant so & so, Head Priest of the so & so Church for the last 40 years. God consults his ledger & says to the Priest: Please take this cotton robe & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ...

'Just a minute,' says the agonized Priest. 'How is it that a foul mouthed, rash driving Auto Driver is given a Silken robe & a Golden scarf and me, a Priest, who's spent his whole life preaching your Name & goodness has to make do with a Cotton robe?'

'Results my friend, results,' shrugs God.

'While you preached, people SLEPT; but when he drove his Auto, people PRAYED'

"It's PERFORMANCE & not POSITION that ultimately counts."

"Moral of the story"?


LOSE GIRLFRIEND AND MAKE BILLIONS !!!!

PRICELESS!!!

This brand spanking new Airbus 340-600, the longest passenger airplane ever built, sits just outside its hangar in Toulouse , France without a single hour of airtime

.


Here comes the Arab flight crew of Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies (ADAT) to conduct pre-delivery tests on the ground, such as engine run-ups, before its delivery to Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi .

The ADAT crew taxied the A340-600 to the run-up area.

Then they took all four engines to takeoff power with a virtually empty aircraft. Not having read the run-up manuals, they had no clue just how light an empty A340-600 really is.



The takeoff warning horn was blaring away in the cockpit because they had All 4 engines at full power. The aircraft computers thought they were trying to take off, but it had not been configured properly (flaps/slats, etc..)




Then one of the ADAT crew decided to pull the circuit breaker on the Ground Proximity Sensor to silence the alarm. This fools the aircraft into thinking it is in the air. The computers automatically released all the brakes and set the aircraft rocketing forward.

The ADAT crew had no idea that this is a safety feature so that pilots can't land with the brakes on.

Not one member of the seven-man Arab crew was smart enough to throttle back the engines from their max power setting, so the $200 million brand-new aircraft crashed into a blast barrier, totaling it.




The extent of injuries to the crew is unknown because Coverage of the story is indeed an insult to the Arabs

Finally, the photos are starting to leak out.

One French Airbus: $200 million dollars
Untrained Arab Flight Crew: $300,000 Yearly Salary
Unread Operating Manual: $300
Aircraft meets retaining wall and the wall wins.


PRICELESS!!!

Incredible India

Republic of India or simply India is the home for more than one million people and several ethnic groups. It also shelters century old religions and customs that are spread evenly throughout the country. When it comes to ancient civilizations, lot of civilizations have been originated from this part of the world. Notable among them is Indus Valley civilization. From there on lot of powerful empires originated making the country more powerful at that time.

Then things got changed when the rulers allowed the English to trade with India. But the English had different plans, and not willing to let loose the wealth and resources found in India, they slowly conquered all the empires and kingdoms and firmly established their kingdom in India.

After centuries of British rule, the feeling of nationalism started only during the early part of 18th century. Little by little the country got aroused and people realized the importance of freedom. And finally after 200 years of freedom struggle,on the night of 15th August 1947 the country finally achieved what it deserved-The Freedom.

Jawaharlal Nehru, The country's first prime minister made the famous speech which rang through out the length and breadth of the country.
"At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new…India discovers herself again."

After Independence the country witnessed enormous growth in all fields and now in 20th century India is able to compete in world level. Surely this country is Incredible.

I can't obviously end this without mentioning why India is unique. That is because of fhe factor "Unity in Diversity". India has more religion and languages than any other country in the world. With 28 states and 7 union territories, it's probably impossible for any nation to rule such a massive country. The mail reason behind this is because each state has it's own rules, problems and cultures. But amidst all these differences and inequalities we all today stand together. This Unity make us incredible and unique.

So remembering the independence day is not merely feeling proud of what we are today, but it's all about remembering all those great leaders and the struggle, the pain they underwent to make this country powerful.
Happy Independence Day.

Pole Shift in 2012 ?

In 2012 the next polar reversal will take place on earth. This means that the North Pole will be changed into the South Pole. Scientifically this can only be explained by the fact that the earth will start rotating in the opposite direction, together with a huge disaster of unknown proportions.

Many books reveal that immense cataclysm is going to torment the earth in the near future. It is presently assumed by most people and the general scientific world at large, that the rotation of the Earth is stable, however, as expounded in the previous works on this subject, this is not the case. The gruesome reports of the previous catastrophes should, hopefully, be clear to all.

The historical exploration of cosmology is predicted from the translation of hieroglyphs, cracking of codes, unveiling of the magnetic reversal of the sun, study of old maps, decoding of astronomical clues, geological research, and the discovery of the most exciting archaeological find in modern times.
Considering these the following conclusions can be made:

1. With clock-like regularity, sudden reversals and pole shifts are natural to the Earth. The result is worldwide destruction, and is supported by paleo-magnetic evidence and early manuscripts.
2. The reversal of the poles is attributed to the harmonic cycle of the magnetic fields of the sun.
3. Polar reversals can be calculated precisely on the basis of the sunspot cycle theory or the magnetic field theory, which the Maya and the Old Egyptians were privy to. These secrets are contained in the Labyrinth of Hawara, a huge complex consisting of three thousand rooms.

So it is obvious that life after a polar reversal is nothing but horror, pure unimaginable horror. All securities we presently have at hand, like - amongst others - food, transport, and medicines, will have disappeared in one big blow, dissolved into nothingness. As will our complete civilization. It cannot be more horrifying than this; worse than the worst nightmare. More destructive than a nuclear war in which the entire global arsenal of nuclear weapons has been deployed in one blow. Are you grasping the facts?

The earth will be subjected to total destruction. It will be many times worse than this description. Terrible hunger, cold and pain, and more will rule our daily life: without hope of a quick recovery, because all knowledge and resources will have been completely destroyed. That will be the reality of our daily life after the forthcoming polar reversal. And it is in this scenario we will have to try to survive.

John the Baptist found in Bulgaria

Bulgarian archaeologists say they have found a reliquary containing the remains of John the Baptist on an island in the Black Sea.

St. Ivan island, off the Black Sea coast near the Bulgarian resort town of Sozopol, has been a religious center since the fifth century. One of the many medieval churches on the island is named after Saint John the Baptist, and local tradition holds that his remains were buried inside the altar. A team of archaeologists recently opened up the altar and found an ornate marble reliquary. When they opened it last weekend, they found bones inside.

So are these really the remains of the man who baptized Jesus Christ? The Bulgarian Orthodox Church thinks so, and so does the local press. The truth, however, is a bit murkier. Saints' relics were hugely popular in the Middle Ages, with every major church having several. Even contemporary observers joked that if all the pieces of the True Cross were brought together they'd make a lumberyard. Relics often moved around, taken as booty by plundering armies, sold by one church to another, or even stolen by pilgrims.

Of course, none of this matters to the faithful who have flocked to this island for centuries. St. Ivan island, with its Roman and Medieval remains, is also popular with tourists, and this latest discovery makes the island even more interesting

Northern Lights

When it comes to explosive fire shows, nothing can dominate the splendid and mysterious fireworks(aurora) put on by our own nature. These Auroras are a natural phenomenon caused by the interaction of solar winds and Earth's magnetic field. They occur almost every day, but can only be seen in certain parts of the world. This is how it is produced: The sun gives out hot solar flares that almost takes two to three days to reach Earth's magnetic field. These flares collides with Earth's atmosphere to charge up the air particles. This highly charged particles when interacting with the oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, the result is a dazzling light show.

Most recently solar flares originated in sun on 3rd Aug reached Earth on 5th Aug thus creating this splendid lightning(above picture). These light also does appear during day time. But this is probably impossible to see them during day. Latest studies suggests that this can effect surface communication which uses the ionosphere as a reflector to bounce the signals back to Earth.
