Its all coming

This Celine Dion song is a favourite. I am glad that I found it on youtube.

Movie time

Its been a while I have got to see a movie on the silver screen. Finally got to see fanaa. The songs and videography are excellent and Kajol's performace is brilliant, though the movie lacks a proper storyline.
I hope I get to watch Jodie Foster's Inside Man when released in India and is as good as her extraterrestrial movie First Contact.

Swarovski

Its the best piece of crystal I have seen. Here are a few pics shot by my aunt and mom using a Nikon CoolPix. The wikipedia entry for Swaroski and its external links are certianly worth going through.

Shades of goodness

Mementos to Swati from the Florida Holocaust Museum. Thankyou for photographing it and sending it.

4th of July

The Declaration of Independence is a monumental contribution to democracy and part of the transcript reads:
"...We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security...."

It would have been just another piece of paper not for all the men and women who strove to maintain the integrity of the declaration till this day.
