It parted once. It parted twice. And
this time scientists are watching
the whole thing. Satellite images
show the Arabian tectonic plate

parting the southern end of the

which is tearing the northeast
of Ethiopia and Eritrea from the

Verses Direct From Heart
Measure of Love
The value of a person to another depends,
On the effect of ones tears on the other.For, the value of a tear depends,
On the cheek upon which it rests.
For a stranger, youd only feel curiosity,
For an acquaintance. perhaps sympathy,
A friend, youd hold while he cried andWipe the fallen tears and comfort him.
For your love, youd wish to change the world,
To prevent them from falling from those eyes.
To know how much you love someone,
Think of how much his tears bother you.
To what lengths would you go,
To stop those drops from falling?
Thats just how much you love.By malavik thiagaraja (Bangalore)

Fifty (50)It was the biggest day of her
life. People she loved the most
in her life were present all
around her. Her home sweethome was filled with bursts of
laughter, smiles, shouts and
above all, happiness. God has
showered her with all the
happiness on that day. She
thanked God for this day. She
was happy to see everyone
happy. It was her inborn natureto make everyone happy.
Amidst the crowd, her eyes fell

She managed fine to
bring up her four daughters
and managing household,
marrying them off to good
persons. Coincidentally, all
her sons-in-law were
engineers!!! She was the
happiest person when she
held her first grand-daughter
in her arms. As time passed,
she was very happy to see her
family growing as the number
of grand-children to this day is
six.

you give me some more ice-

Startled, she looked around.
Her youngest grand-daughterwas holding her hands and
calling her. She at once gave
the kid another bowl of ice-

standing amidst all her children
and grand-children waiting for

At one point of time in our
lives, most of us have
searched for answers to
questions like: Is she/he theone I can spend the rest of
my life with? Many of us fall
in relationships and
without giving much
time to the relation,
we get ready to commi
t and start believing that he/she isthe one. But I bet that many such
pre-mature decisions take a very
serious turn later on and the
reason is that we forget to
understand that falling in love and
love are two different things;
Love and Marriage are two
different concepts.Falling in love can be either a
flash of emotions or a first step
towards love. Falling in
love is a strong
instinctive attraction
to the person of the`````` other sex. In case its
mutual and both
lovers will work at
their relationships
one day that feeling
can grow into love.
Falling in love is crazy,
its when knees are getting weak and
temperature rises, love is calm,
comfortable and mental.
Usually if you ask yourself am
I in love? it means youre not,
because when youre fallen in love
you already have no questions, this
feeling is to obvious to leave anydoubts. So its more reasonable to
count the consequences of it than to
look for the signs.
We usually fall in lov

time to understand ourselves
and the relation and not make a
mistake.
With time things change,
they wont remain like that
forever. In our culture, we
strongly believe in the institutionof marriage. The problem is love
and marriages are two different
things. Marriage is a social
arrangement that requires
practicality. It is about being a
part of the society. It is about
raising children and changing
nappies; about earning moneyand social status and focusing on
mundane things like food,
servants and relatives.
Do we really think about it
when we decide we want to
spend the rest of our life with
some person? Many peopledont! Falling in love is easy but
being is love is very difficult.
One should go ahead only when
he/she has thought about all these
in a practical sense. Its not about
caste, its not about religion, its
not even about your family; its
about you. If you are sure you can
have a successful relation than you
surely will but this confident feeling
should not be the result of
infatuation, need or hurry. Be sure
its real love!
In most cases we think: this is
true love, when in fact its not. But
then if this isnt love than what it
is? There are plenty of things that
we confuse with love.It could bejust the basic instinct.
But than what does real love
look and feel like? Maybe its when
two people seem to know each
other for ages and even in their
previous lives. No!
True love is when partners
complete one another, when
theyre together its peaceful, the
whole other world with its
sufferings and problems do
exist and nothing even ma
True love means understan
One trusts another more t
him/herself and feels read
satisfy every little need of
partner.
But the questionlove is still has no definite
Do we truly love only onc
life? Does it last for a lifeti
just for a while? Probably
has his own answers to th
questions. The truth is tha
should spend life chasing ibuilding relationships by s
model of a true love. One
probably fail and miss the
thing beyond all this.
We should reme
only the true feeling of lov
life really longer and happ
this is a fact!

runner has made a great impact on
readers all over the world. I finally
picked up the book at my library a
few weeks back.And when Ifinished the book a few days later, I
sat and thought about it a lot.

main character Amir is the son of
a wealthy Afghan businessman. Ali
is their servant who lives with them
with his son Hassan. Hassan and
Amir are inseparable friends.
Hassan is the ultimate Kite
Runner someone who rushes to
catch the losing kites as they flutter
to the ground when their strings are
cut by the others. When Amir wins
the Kite flying competition, Hassan
runs the losing kite for him.However, he is confronted by Aseef
a bully who takes pleasure in
harassing the two friends at every
opportunity. Amir, who goes lookingfor Hassan witnesses a horrifying
incident but does nothing to prevent it.
The political atmosphere changes
in Afghanistan with the removal of the
king and it is a dangerous time in Kabul.
Amir and his father decide to leave to
Pakistan. Eventually they find their way
to the USA where they form a part of the
small Afghan community. Amir grows
up to be a writer and marries. Years pass
by and out of the blue, Amirs fathers
friend Rahim Khan asks Amir to come
and meet him in Pakistan.
When they meet, Amir learns of a
shocking truth. He struggles withdealing with it his impressions of
several people changing in one instant.
What Rahim Khan gives him is a chance -

World HistoryThe Merchant Royal Shipwreck
The most valuable shipwreck of
all-time was the Merchant
Royal shipwreck of 1641, whichsank about 40 miles off the coast
of Cornwall. The ship was
carrying at least 100,000 pounds
of gold (about $1 billion), 400
bars of Mexican silver (about $1
million), and about 500,000
coins when it began taking on
water and eventually sank due
to rough weather. It is believed
that this shipwreck was recently
discovered by Odyssey Marine
Exploration Inc. of Tampa, Florida
when they announced in 2007 that
they had discovered about 500,000
(about $500 million) worth of gold and
silver coins in a shipwreck in the
Atlantic Ocean. For security purposes,
they have withheld the
location and the name of the ship, but
most people believe it to be theMerchant Royal.
Deep-sea explorers said
they have hauled up what co
richest sunken treasure ever
17 tons of gold and silver c
coins worth an estimated
$500 million from a shipwr
Atlantic Ocean.
A chartered cargo
