The Eton Raptor is the digital swiss army knife for the campers or going to be campers. This is an amazing device from Eton, a company that is the leader in this niche market of camping portable equipment. Eton is yet to announce the price of this gadget, but its going to be a affordable piece of useful equipment for people who love to go camping. It features a AM/FM/WB digital radio, 10 station presets, a digital clock display with alarm, a chronograph, an altimeter, barometer, and compass, an auxiliary audio input, an 1800mAh rechargeable battery, an LED flashlight, a solar panel for charging, a USB device charger and a bottle opener, all packed into a slender, splashproof carabiner body.

I am sure I would love to have one of these when I go for camping.

WHEN THE WIND RUSTLES THROUGH HER HAIR,
THERE SEEMS TO BE A GLORIOUS SCENT IN THE AIR,
MY WORLD COMES TO A HALT WHEN SHE COMES CLOSE ,
THE BACKGROUND BECOMES HAZY AND THE WORLD SEEMS AS DELICATE AS A ROSE,
AS SHE COMES CLOSE SOUNDS,SIGHTS FADE AND ALL I CAN SEE ARE HER DELICATE FEATURES,
AND THE FRAGILE THREADS OF FATE THAT BIND TOGETHER OUR FUTURES,
I SMILE AS I LOSE MY SENSE OF TIME AND SPACE,INDULGE MY INSANITY,
SHE WALKS AWAY THEN; CRUSHING MY DREAMS AND MOCKING MY VANITY,
I DWELL NOT ON THE IMPOSSIBLE NATURE OF MY AFFECTION NOR MY INFATUATION’S STRENGTH,
FOR MY MIND TREATS EVERY SECOND APART AS AN EON OF INTERMINABLE LENGTH,
UNION IS BUT INEVITABLE,SOMEHOW MY MIND CONVINCES ITSELF WITH FEEBLE REMONSTRATIONS,
UNREQUITED LOVE,INFALLIBLE LOGIC, SEEM BUT MINOR OBSTRUCTIONS,
AND AS TIME PASSES SHE COMES CLOSER THROUGH CONVERSATIONS AND LONG WALKS,
WHERE I LOSE MYSELF IN HER EYES AS SHE LAUGHS OR TALKS,
THERE IS GREAT BEAUTY IN THIS WORLD I REALISE IN THOSE MOMENTS,
THE ONES WHICH GIVE ME OH SO SWEET A TORMENT,
THE TORMENT OF LONGING FOR THEM TO GO ON FOREVER, TIME BE CONFOUNDED!!!
YET THE SANE FRACTION OF MY MIND KEEPS MY WINGS SHUTTERED AND MY FEET GROUNDED,
FOR I KNOW BEAUTY IS CURSED TO BE EPHEMERAL, A CHIMERA FOR THE SENSES,LOVE BUT A FLEETING CARAVAN OF JOY;
EXCEPT FOR A FEW BLESSED EXCEPTIONS AND THE HOPE OF BEING ONE MAKES US WITH THIS MOST DANGEROUS OF ALL EMOTIONS TOY.

This is an Oscar(2005) nominated Spanish short.Being a musical and having a strange appeal regardless of a melancholy atmosphere made me love this.

A joke i read somewhere-
A woman gets up in the night to find that her husband was not in the bed.
She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him.She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him .He appeared deep in thought ,just staring at the wall.She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of coffee.
“What’s the matter, dear?”she whispers as she steps into the room.”Why are you down here at this time of night ?”
The husband looks up,”Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating,and you were only 17?”he asks solemnly.
The wife is touched thinking her husband is so caring and sensitive.”Yes,i do”she replies.
The husband pauses .The words are not coming easily.”Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?”
“Yes,i remember”,says the wife,lowering herself into a chair beside him.
The husband continues”Do you remember when he shoved a shotgun in my face and said ,”Either you marry my daughter,or i will send you to jail for 20 years “.
“I remember that too”,she replies softly.
He wipes another tear from his cheek and says “I would have gotten out today!”

MegaMind 3D — A movie Review

Megamind was a bit late for a release in India, but for an animation movie retaining a 7.3 IMDB rating with 6000+ votes till now, it was worth the wait in India. I would not say that its an amazingly outstanding movie, but its good as a one time watch and the 3D is really commendable for this one. (hush hush: remember to watch it in a normal 3D hall from the front 4th or 3rd row center corner to get the most out of your buck).

The movie revolves around MetroCity , a city which has a super villain “Megamind” (Ferrell)and a super hero “Metro Man” (Brad Pitt). The supervillain is able to overcome his biggest enemy, “The Metro Man” but then his life gets boring and he finds it meaningless. Then begins his quest for bringing the interest back to his life and a saga of mistakes and “predictable” plans has lots of entertainment in store for hte viewers. His alien fish “Minion” is the only one who cares for “Megamind”. Though the plot was a pretty common one and almost similar to a hindi movie of the 80s but the presentation and candidness of presentation has your interest and involvement in what you are being served.

Dreamworks, as usual, has taken great care in modeling the best looking characters for the movie. The characters are the soul of the movie and Megamind’s innocence, planning and “wickedness” has your attention all the way through. The interesting but the “predictable outcome” point in the plot is the attempt of the genius Megamind to create a duplicate of Metro Man to make his life interesting. The movie feels like dragging a little bit towards the center but the 3D and the stunning graphics makes up for the drag. I would rate this as 3/5.

Mantra For Life

“Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find ”tomorrow” on the calendars of fools. Forget yesterday’s defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow. This is it. Doomsday. All you have. Make it the best day of your year. The saddest words you can ever utter are, ”If I had my life to live over again. ”Take the baton, now. Run with it! This is your day! Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight. Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.â€�-Og Mandino
This is a truly inspiring video and I strongly believe in the message this guy -Nick Vujicic- has for all of us.That’s why i am sharing it here even though you would have probably seen it somewhere before.We moan about every little thing that’s wrong with our life instead of being happy with what we have. Thankful or not we should enjoy this gift called Life as there is no empirical evidence for an afterlife.
