The Day The Earth Shook

With the new research coming out, as reported in the journal International Geology Review, scientists believe that Jesus was crucified on Friday April 3, 33 A.D.

The Gospel of Matthew mentions in Chapter 27 - “And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open.”

With the help of the details of crucifixion given in all Gospels and other books and the study of earthquake activities at the Dead Sea, located 13 miles from Jerusalem during the same period, researchers have come out with this date as most appropriate.

Happy 250th Birthday to Dear Sandwich

Our very own dear sandwich completes 250 years today. Well, actually I’m talking about its given name Sandwich only.

We find references of sandwich from ancient times. Like the ancient Jewish sage Hillel the Elder is said to have wrapped meat from the Paschal lamb and bitter herbs between two pieces of bread.

But it was the 4th Earl, the First Lord of the Admiralty in Britain from whom the sandwich got its worldwide popular name. John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, an 18th-century English aristocrat, ordered his valet to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread, and because Montagu also happened to be the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, others began to order - the same as Sandwich. 

Happy Birthday Dear Sandwich

Marks & Spencer launched the first packaged sandwich in Britain in the mid-Eighties. Its believed that more than three billion sandwiches are sold in Britain every year.

Harper : A Nine Months Old Brand Ambassador

A nine month old brand ambassador is not a very big deal. But the interesting news is – the offer is made to the child at her cradle address. Harper Beckham, the daughter of David and Victoria Beckham has got the offer from the website - My1stYears.com.

The offer letter she received is even more interesting than the offer itself. It reads – “From what we have seen of you since your first public appearance less than a year ago, we know you have implacable style and taste……… Due to child labour laws we cannot negotiate a contract or salary directly with you, that is why your Mummy and Daddy have been copied in on this letter.……. We hope it would make your Mummy and Daddy very proud.”

Good going Harper. Congratulations. We all love you. World is yours. Go get it.

Hail Mayor Garcia

Today I wish to share very interesting news I have read recently. Mayor Julian Atienza Garcia of the town La Toba, 70 miles northeast of Madrid, has banned the persons from farting, burping and slurping in public. The carter also includes strict no for adjusting underwear or picking noses and also yawning without covering mouths and speaking with mouth full. I wish we will also get a mayor elected for our city sometimes who will teach some ethics to our city folks.

O My Tooth and Your Ache

Badly suffering from toothaches these days. Doctors are no help. Toothaches or teethaches??? I don’t know what’s the right word for it. Different varieties of aches are appearing in different teeth all the time. I am never sure which tooth is actual sufferer. Seven teeth have gone through the procedures. Three are in queue. I’m sure all those seven victims were innocent and suffered more in doctor’s hand. The one with actual problem is still at large. Anyhow, they keep on reminding their sufferings now n then.

We live in Google world. Every remedy lies in Google, and Google only. But here, Google is no better than doctors, even worse. Thousands of remedies are available with no true help. It hasn’t reduce the pain, but I must admit, has increased my knowledge bank.

Clove and peppermint were always in my list for toothache. But I never knew that onion and garlic also worked. (I didn’t try anyway). Asafoetida is the new finding. It’s useful for toothache in my old-age too. I’m going to try it for sure. It’s my childhood friend. But the true friend in my old age – oats, could also work miracles. And what’s this wheatgrass and how to find it? somebody tell me please. Thank you very much. But the best discovery is the name of Whiskey. It numbs the gum which results in lessening the ache. Wow. Now would you please excuse me. I’m going for the treatment.

O Mother Earth. Tell Me…. Who is My Father?

What I am, but mud and water. This mud and water comes from the earth. My Mother Earth. She is my mother. But where does the soul come from?

My soul comes from the sun.

O Sun. You provide life to my body. My body belongs to my mother earth. My soul belongs to you.

O Sun. when you come up in the morning, it’s my duty to welcome you with open eyes. I offer you water, pouring it to you up above in the sky. It creates a film before you n I. It scatters all different colours from your rays which purifies different characteristics of my body. And your rays united in colourless white purify my soul.

O My Sun. O My Father. Bless me. Bless all.
