Life is full of surprises.Happy story for the day Look carefully in each picture for the cat as it makes its way down from the roof to the dog. Then, check the explanation at the end.
Could not download the pictures in collage form
The story behind this picture is this: Every day - at the same time - she waits for him. Sometimes she barks to call him. He comes; they rub and greet each other and they go for a walk.They have done this for 5 years and no, they don't belong to the same owners.The owners didn't know until neighbors, seeing them together so frequently, commented to the cat's owner, who then followed the dog home and discovered it was a distance away, not in a house close by or next door.How it started no one knows.Wouldn't it be great to have friends like this always there, no words needed, they just intuitively recognize the value of each other in their lives and act accordingly. Live, Laugh, Love???
Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.
The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.A wise person once said...There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it.You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good.So love the people, who treat you right,
Life is too short to be anything but happy.
Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is
living.
Season's Greetings
Best regardsMay you have peace & Happiness in 2016Service to others is the rent we pay for our room here on earth- Muhammad Ali

Davis' "The Little Drummer Boy" was first recorded in 1955 as
"Carol of the Drum"
Modern-day
"Little Drummer Boy" reenactment actor, from the show
"Data-Driven Drumming."
"The
Little Drummer Boy" (originally known as "Carol of the Drum")
is a popular Christmas
song written
by the American classical music composer and teacher Katherine Kennicott Davis in 1941.[1] It was recorded in 1955 by the
Trapp Family Singers[2] and further popularized by a 1958 recording
by the Harry
Simeone Chorale.
This version was re-released successfully for several years and the song has
been recorded many times since.[3]
In
the lyrics the singer relates how, as a poor young boy, he was summoned by the Magi to the nativity where, without a gift for
the infant Jesus, he
played his drum with the Virgin Mary's
approval, remembering "I played my best for Him" and "He smiled
at me."

Devotional song
to Lord Krishna by a female devotee.
It is composed of many ‘ragas’ and is called a
‘raga-maaliga’ composition.
One of the
evergreens in South Indian Carnatic music.
I have put the
web-links for four vocals and four instrumentals of this song.
Hope you enjoy
listening to each of them.
Repetitiveness of each stanza with subtle variations is the hall mark of Carnatic music as you can see n these performances.
How to get to Heaven from Ireland
email from JKS Weerasekera
A true Story from an Irish Sunday School Teacher
I was testing children in my Dublin Sunday school class to see if
they understood the concept of getting to heaven. I asked them, "If I
sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money
to the church, would that get me into heaven?"
"NO!" the children answered.
"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the garden, and kept
everything tidy, would that get me into heaven?" Again, the answer
was NO!
"If I gave sweets to all the children, and loved my husband, would
that get me into heaven?" Again, they all answered NO!
I was just bursting with pride for them. I continued, "Then how can I
get into heaven?"
A little boy shouted out, "YUV GOTTA BE FOOKN' DEAD."
It's a curious race, the Irish. Brings a tear to the eye, doesn't it?
The Chinese girl
*I met a Chinese girl
when I was in Shanghai, I asked her if she could
escort me for a
city tour and asked for her mobile number, so I could call her.*
She got excited and
said:*
"sex sex sex,wan free sex for tonigh".
Wow, I'm guessing this
is how Chinese women express their hospitality ! *
But then my friend
interpreted it for me, and told me what she really
