Sachin in Sydney

Read in the newspaper that Sachin, along with 5 others is leaving for Australia on 8/12/11 (Thursday).
I really want to know which airlines is he flying? I believe they fly Qantas.
Feel like going to the airport, but I don't have any more details about his travel.

R.I.P - Amy Winehouse

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

I'd rather be at home with ray
I ain't got seventy days
Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr Hathaway

I didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

The man said 'why do you think you here'
I said 'I got no idea
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
so I always keep a bottle near'
He said 'I just think you're depressed,
this me, yeah baby, and the rest'

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know

I don't ever wanna drink again
I just ooh I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I'm on the mend

It's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

PS: A very troubled soul, needed some help & love from friends & family.
One of the finest jazz artist, I loved some of her songs

The Cutting Edge

Five surgeons are discussing who were the best patients to operate on.

The first surgeon says, 'I like to see Accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.'

The second responds, 'Yeah, but you should try Electricians! Everything inside them is colour coded.'

The third surgeon says, 'No, I really think Librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order.'

The fourth surgeon chimes in, 'You know I like Construction Workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and when the job takes longer than you said it would.'

But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed, 'You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine, and there are only two moving parts - the mouth and the arsehole - and they are interchangeable

What is your age?

I saw this classic funny advert on television a few days ago. The ad is about some nutty almond cookie mix.

A kid and his mother r shown in kitchen mixing the. Cookie mix

Kid: Mom, what's ur age?
Mom: Uhhhh, I can't remember really, I guess I have forgotten
Kid: Check ur undies
Mom: My undies?? Y?
Kid: It tells u ur age?
Mom: Really?
Kid: Yes, mine says 5-6

Really funny......

Do Something.......

The following content is directly picked from the website link http://www.dosomething.org/actnow/actionguide/27-things-you-can-do-stop-global-warming
I always wanted to have some valuable contribution towards our lovely planet. And I strongly feel everyone must contribute as much as u can to keep r lovely planet safe

Believe it or not, there are many simple things you can do in your daily life that can have an effect on your immediate surroundings and on places as far away as the South Pole. Here is a list of a few things you can do to make a difference:

Use Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
Which lights in your home do you use the most? Replace them with compact fluorescent bulbs. Three CFBs will save 300 pounds of carbon dioxide and $60 per year!
Inflate Your Tires
Keeping your tires adequately inflated can save you $840 per year and keep 250 lbs. of carbon dioxide out of the air! Check them monthly to be sure.
Change Your Car's Air Filter
Check your car's air filter once a month. You can save $130 per year and keep 100 lbs. of CO2 from entering our atmosphere.
Fill the Dishwasher
Run your dishwasher only when it's full. That'll save $40 and 100 lbs. of CO2 emission a year.
Use Recycled Paper
Make sure your printer paper is 100% post-consumer recycled paper. That saves 5 lbs. of carbon dioxide per ream of paper.
Adjust Your Thermostat
Move your thermostat down two degrees in the winter and up two degrees in the summer. That can save up to $98 and 2000 lbs. of carbon dioxide per year.
Change the AC Filter
Clean or replace dirty air conditioner filters. That'll save 350 lbs. of carbon dioxide and up to $150 per year.
Take Shorter Showers
Did you know that showers account for 2/3 of all water heating costs? So cut your shower short and save 350 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $99 per year.
Install a Low-flow Shower Head
Using less water in the shower not only conserves this precious resource, but it also means less energy is used to heat the water, saving 350 lbs. of carbon dioxide and 150 bucks.
Buy Products Locally
Think about how much oil it takes to get a bottle of water to you from Fiji...
Buy Minimally Packaged Goods
Less packaging reduces garbage by up to 30%. You can also save 1200 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $1,000 per year.
Carpool When You Can
Own a big vehicle? Does one of your friends? Carpooling with friends saves fuel, and you have the added perk of having all your peeps in one car. Even better, you can save 790 lbs. of carbon dioxide and hundreds of dollars per year.
Don't Idle In the Car
How many times have you seen someone sitting in a car while it's running? Are you guilty of this? Idling wastes money and gas, and generates pollution and global warming-causing emissions. Turn your engine off if you have to wait for more than 30 seconds- except of course when in traffic.
Drive Less
Walk, bike, carpool, or take mass transit. You'll save one pound of CO2 for every mile you don't drive!
Reduce Garbage
Recycle paper, plastic and glass, and buy products with less packaging. This can save 1,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide a year.
Plant a Tree
Trees suck up CO2 and create clean air for us to breathe. A single tree will absorb a ton (that's 2000+ lbs.) of CO2 over its lifetime.
Use a Push Mower
We all have chores. Some of us have to mow the lawn. When you do, use your muscles instead of fossil fuels. You'll save 80 lbs. of CO2 per year and you'll get some exercise!
Unplug Un-Used Electronics
Even when electronic devices, like your stereo and phone charger, are turned off, they use energy, so unplug 'em and save over 1,000 lbs. of CO2 and $256 a year.
Put on a Sweater
Instead of turning up the heat, put on another layer. You can save 1,000 lbs. of CO2 from entering the atmosphere and $250 a year.
Wash your Clothes on the Cold Water Cycle
You'll save energy because the water isn't being heated, and your clothes will last longer.
Air Dry Your Clothes
If the weather permits, how about putting your laundry on the line to dry? You'll save 700 lbs. of CO2 and up to $75 a year. Plus, there's no better stain remover than the sun.
Buy Organic Food
The chemicals used in modern agriculture aren't just bad for your body, they also pollute the water supply and are mostly made of petroleum.
Bring Cloth Bags to the Market
When the check-out person asks, "Paper or plastic?," say, "Neither." Using your own cloth bag reduces waste and requires no additional energy.
Turn Off Your Computer
Shut it off when you're not using it and save 200 lbs. of CO2. Conserve energy by using your computer's "sleep mode" instead of a screensaver.
Eat Your Greens
The average American diet is full of meat products and thus contributes an extra 1.5 tons (that's 2500+ lbs.) of greenhouse gases per year, compared with a vegetarian diet. Eating 20% less meat makes the same impact as switching to a hybrid car!
Ditch the Plastic
2.5 million individual plastic water bottles are thrown away every hour in the US alone! A plastic bottle thrown in a landfill will still be a plastic bottle in 200 years because plastic is not biodegradable! Start using a reusable water bottle and just say no to plastic!
Spread the Word
Get out there and tell your friends and loved ones the small steps they can take to help Mother Earth. A little goes a long way!

Back Again ......

I know I have said this soooooooo many times before, but I believe this time I will be able to keep my promise.
If u ask me the reason y? Oh come on just ask me y?
Answer is simple, I just love my iPhone. There is actually an app for blogger. Isint that gr8.
So now I believe I can regularly blog, small snippets from everyday's life.

Ps: if u don't have an iPhone, u don't have an iPhone
