What goes around ,comes around .

“If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

How easy it is to judge the other ? We judge people and their situations as a routine of the little we have seen of them, and we take the little we have seen as a persons whole personality and character.

For example, we see a woman sitting at the bar alone ,holding a drink. Immediately, our brains start functioning. In a second we assume she is a fast and easy to get cookie. We sum her up as a girl who has no character. We don't stop there. We nudge, we poke just to get the others attention, so we can revel in the assassination of her character and be swept away by our own feeling of false superiority. Never mind if we know nothing about who she really is.

However, something about her attitude or her comfortable demeanor unsettles us, and we don't even blink an eyelid before judging her. We judge, taking the little we have seen of her as her reality. We invade her privacy and give condescending looks while passing by. We cast aspersions on her whole character without perceiving what lies within. People we judge without knowing them from Adam are probably pursuing other endeavors.

Why do we do that ? Could it be an innate desire to put others down ? Is it due to a sense of our own insecurities that we try to cover up ? Whatever the reason, we need to refrain from getting that false sense of superiority. Nobody has the right to cast aspersions on someone else's character ,least of all the people you know nothing about .

Every single person grows up in circumstances that are different from yours. Besides, who has given the authority to judge ? What is the criteria for the judgements ?Who judges your judgement ? How do you know if you are wrong or right ? Look within before pointing fingers at others and ask yourself "Is this really necessary ? Always remember - 'what goes around ,comes around.'

Mr.Nosy Parker

"It's Ringing ." "Pick it up ." "It could be important ." How many times have you heard that ? It's a nuisance .I've nicknamed it Nosy Parker .It is ill mannered,it interrupts whenever it wants to - like the middle of the night . It gets out of control yet people don't put a leash on it . It creeps up whenever it wants to ,anytime and anywhere. Talk about stalking- it's a pro at that . It scares the hell out of you when it comes up unexpectedly at your door . If you refuse to entertain it ,it pesters you . The word privacy is not in its dictionary .It doesn't understand that people may like solitude and their space. Imagine yourself at a theater,seated in a perfectly silent auditorium , engrossed in the most powerful performances being delivered by your favorite actors, at the edge of your seat ,waiting for the suspense to unfold ... and suddenly it starts ringing! It breaks the spell and the momentum . Hateful, vile, inexcusabl...

Magnificent miniature paper city

Paper craft It's a city . Paper city ? Who made this ? It must be made of cardboard,I thought . I was wrong . These creations took my breath away as they will yours . Mesmerizing stuff .Could almost walk through those alleys myself . Breathtaking city in paper . And I thought I was brilliant at making those paper boats,planes ....oh well ! Never mind . Worth a look . These figures come from the “Lavazza Fairy Tales”. The announcement was made in animation by using stopmotion technique. It is installed in a paper city. Buildings are made three-dimensional and the characters are bi-dimensional. In order to make the publicity, more than one thousand paper shapes were used, and each of them has a different movement. The shapes were drawn, at the beginning, at hand and then, modifi ed in the post-production and afterwards, in the end, cut with a cut laser printer. Houses are made in shapes of polystyrene cubes covered by thin cardboard sheets. Don't miss the intricat...

A ball of confusion

Earth from the view point of a Martian ( if he exists) If we isolate ourselves from Earth , getting away some distance from our world ,it would help us focus our attention on what it is otherwise too obvious to notice while we stay on it . To see what we may be really like it will help if we put ourselves into the shoes of a "Martian," if he happens to wear such an invention of the earth in the first place . So what do Martians see of Planet Earth ? What they see today is a population of over six billion people crawling out from every nook and corner like caterpillars . Now ,almost all of this six billion devote a signific...
