Death of Devil

2011-07-10T21:43:00.000-07:00

It was a devastating tragic day today to see our pet dog Devil (Named after Phantoms, Devil) dead and stiff.. He was not eating well for the past 2 days but was drinking milk. I thought of taking him to the Vet and even talked to him yesterday. He asked me to take it today which I regret so much.. Had I done that yesterday I might have saved him.. He was active and then I thought it was a normal sickness..

He was a intelligent and compassionate pup, hardly 3 months of age but very brave and playful. Our kids used to play with him and as they play with a brother. Once he ran away and fell in a ditch, then I had rescued him, the day I felt like God.. but today I am filled with guilt and sorrow.

I never thought It could be so emotional to lose someone.. However its the way life is, have to carry on. One thing I am happy about is he lived his life full in the short span and died peacefully. It was like he sleeping as usual and I had buried him in the shadows.. Still feel like something is ripped off from my inside..

""I find Anacin of great help"" ,says Nurse Angela Fernandes.

Infection : Colds and Flu are caused by airborne viruses infected persons. Normally

Symptoms : Heaviness in the head, headache and a running nose are the early symptoms of a cold. Within 18 to 72 hours these may be followed by a thick, yellow nasal discharge. Sweating or shivering generally warns you of flu; fatigue and weakness, aches and pauns all over the body, loss of appetite, drowsiness, headache, and chills may follow. A dry cough or sore throat may also present.
Recovery : Two or three days will usually be enough for you to recover; sometimes recovery may take longer.
Complications : Flu, if not brought under control, can lead to pneumonia and infections of the upper respiratory tract, ears and lungs. Consult your doctor when you have flu or a severe cold.
No Immunity : There is always a possibility of a relapse if you do not take proper care.

Subsequent attacks can, in fact, be more severe.
What you should do
1. If someone in your home already has a severe cold or flu, he should be given complete bed-rest, and isolated as far as possible. His clothes, especially his handkerchiefs and bedding, should be thoroughly disinfected immediately after recovery.
2. Keep rooms properly ventilated.
3. Have antiseptic or salt-water throat gargles at least twice a day.

lime juice. Eat nourishing foods. Don't strain yourself. Rest adequately.

So Mr. Kapoor's changing his frige : buying a new one. Some people suggest he try a different brand this time.

Tamil Comics, Muthu Comics Vintage covers

2009-07-31T23:00:00.000-07:00

As an avid comics collector from my age of 7 I have a great collection of vintage comic books from Muthu Comics, Indrajal comics, Lion Comics and others. I love muthu comics more than anything, even now. I love to read them again and again whenever I feel dull or depressed. In those ages when we did not have Television channels (Ofcourse there was DD and Srilankan rupavahini but they mostly aired dull programmes in Hindi or sinhala) muthu comics was our window to the western world. The fantastic art and good translation made it the most wanted tamil comics.

I have lot of pride in having the collection of my comic books and would like to share the nostalgia with you guys.. I am just putting in the scans of the covers not the entire comics. Sorry about that.. I have missed some of the issues, if someone is there to sell it please contact me..

2009-04-28T01:24:00.000-07:00

A.P. MARKFED 1971-76 An era of achievements.
MARKFED-AP has taken big strides in every sphere of its activities.
Basically committed to:
1. Promoting marketing activities of its constitutent member societies.
2. Organising price support programmes and ensuring reasonable prices for farmers produce.
3. Setting up agro-based industries like rice mills, oil mills, ginning units etc.
4. Organising farmer service activities like supply of agricultural inputs in time at fair prices.
Initially MARKFED functioned merely as an agency marketing agricultural produce of its members. Now, it is an institutional agency catering to the agricultural needs of every
farmer in the state.

MARKFED has recorded great strides in recent years. It went all out in support of the farmers through massive procurement operations, thereby ensuring fair price support.

A pioneer in the development of agro-based industries, MARKFED established 144 rice mills, set up an oil complex at karimnagar, cotton ginning complex at Vijayawada and plans to establish at least one agro-based industry in every district of the State.

Established tractor hiring and servicing stations at jagtial. Nandyal, Miryalguda,Khammam and Nellore. Constructed 80 warehouses with 80,000 tonnes capacity spread all over the state and above all introduced the Door Delivery Scheme to meet the needs of consumers in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad.

Today, with a business turnover of Rs. 2,500 lakhs, MARKFED has many agro-industrial schemes on hand and looks into the future with justifiable optimism.

And the credit for these significant achievements goes to its dynamic and youthful Chairman sir V. Jagapathi Rao.

This was an Ad in 70's at RD. The AP government had given this ad for RD. I wonder what effect will this ad have on the readers

My Love My Life My Liberty

2009-02-13T22:22:00.000-08:00

What has happened to Indian Media especially to the Western TV channels Cnn-IBn and TimeNow? The principals CNN and Coleman strive hard to provide Genuine news caring for the world. But I was shocked by the media coverage of the Mangalore pub attack and Valentine day issues.

When it comes to our children, wife or sister we want them to refrain from drinks, drugs, pre marital sex and pubs, but when it comes to general public are we supposed to turn a blind eye? While it is inhuman to beat ladies will Renuka Chaudry her children going to Pub and have fun with Boy friends?

The latest news(Courtesy : BBC News.) is Sagarika Gosh of CNN-IBN have formed a consortium named Pub-going Loose and Forward Women, in Facebook. encouraging women to "walk to the nearest pub and buy a drink" on Valentine's Day. A spokeswoman for the group, Nisha Susan, told the BBC it was gifting chaddis (Hindi colloquial for underwear) as they alluded to a prominent Hindu right-wing group whose khaki-shorts-wearing cadres were often derisively called "chaddi wallahs" (chaddi wearers).

Basically they are going to send Pink Panties to Muthalik and his associates to express their love. I can understand Pub-Going and Forward Women. What is the Loose for?

Also the Media is out of any Breaking news. The 26/11 and daily lies of CNN/Times Now on Indo PAK war have come to an end. Now they are targeting Hindutva, Muthalik, Valentine day etc.

I hate Muthalik and associates for beating up the girls but still do not appreciate the media for the false coverage. More on My Knol at http://knol.google.com/k/guna-nadar/my-life-my-love-my-liberty-valentine/18pn58gwhohkh/12#view

In black and white.sharp and clear even after sixty,seventy or eighty years and more.
The choice is quite clear.
When you shoot pictures for keeps,shoot them on Black and White film.
You'd be glad you did.
Memories may fade with time.

GOLD SPOT classic advertisement

2008-10-05T05:24:00.000-07:00

'Your taste-buds grow!'
'your taste-buds know!'
Gold Spot.The taste goes to your smile

'It's the bestest drink!'
Gold Spot.The taste goes to your smile.

Who will forget the fizzy Orange Goldspot in the yester years.. It used to be my favourite drink and I used to have at least a bottle a day. The quantity was 250 ml and was available only in the nearby town. It is sort of Fanta or Mirinda but the taste much different and good.. All of a sudden the companies stopped producing it for reasons known only to them and God.. Any other lovers of Gold Spot? I will try to get a photo of the classic Gold Spot photo if possible
