So today was indeed my B'day..Well its been quite some time now since I came to live on earth...Now tat I have settled down well on earth I hav nothing to complain about it...Birthdays are one of the most wonderful days in a year.
Today I woke up very late...my mom was not bothered because she is planning to celebrate my star b'day.As soon as I opened my eyes me friend called up to wish me..She asked to wake up fully and go to Temple..I somehow managed to wake up fully, read through all my messages, answered all my friends calls and then left to work(me doing a final yr project na). At work I was Vetti almost till evening...Late in the evening the work got real tuff..and finally I got so engrossed in the frustrating work tat wen I got up to leave it was already 8pm..Rushed back home went to temple and prayed real hard to god.It was both a happy and xtremely irritating b'day..Happy cos of me friends and Irritating cos of all extremely large the work load I had.

Thanks a lot gang..You guys rock.

GOD Exists?
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty.He asks one of his new students to stand and…..
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is this God good then?
Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof! : You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella.
Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From…God…
Prof: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything.
Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son…Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No , sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, and smelled your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that
matter?
Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn’t. (The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student: You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light…. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God.
You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can’t even explain a thought.It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to
be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going
endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class! breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelled it…No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Prof: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it, sir.. The link between man & god is FAITH.
That is all that keeps things moving & alive.
Now guess who the student is ?????

Making every place No where
US targets Iran
Though Iran has consistently maintained that it's only developing nuclear plants for electricity, the US has been targetting Tehran.
Washington has even threatened imposing sanctions through the Security Council.
"We are concerned that Iran's activities pose an increasing threat to international peace and security. Iran's pattern of deception, its concealment, its confrontational approach, increasingly worry the world community," said Gregory Shulte, US Ambassador to IAEA.
The UN Security Council can impose sanctions on Iran, but Russia and China as permanent members hold veto powers.
This piece of news is from NDTV Archives.
Well I have always been against America's thirst for wars.They have already brought to ground Iraq and are yet to prove their claims about the nuclear weapons there.Now they are aiming for Iran(same pretext).I seriously don't understand why THEY should be concerned about another country is doing.Has anyone ever asked about the weapons or the nuclear power of America or Can we even question them?
All this war on other nations,I feel is to show their supremacy and test their weapons of mass destruction.
At this rate I fear that, this kind of interference is a threat to every independent country.
