EYES

Eyes filled with rage, I shouted
'How can you be so incompetent'
Eyes, equally fiery stared
incompetently, saying nothing !

Eyes flowing with compassion, I asked
'How can you be so indifferent to your loved ones'
Eyes, equally compassionate stared
indifferently, saying nothing !

Eyes full of contempt, I asked
'How can you be so lazy'
Eyes, equally contemptuous stared
lazily, saying nothing !

With commanding eyes , I thundered
'Do something about your flaws'
The mirror, with greater command, said
'You First !!'

Completely avoidable!

Lacklustre in narration, it is boring from Page 1. Bits and pieces of information that was useful. Nothing more !

The other Man in her Life

I secretly looked at them,
engrossed in each other's love.
Jealously evident, I wondered
how she could love another !

She had eyes only for him,
The world was a blur to her!
I had eyes only for her,
The world was a blur to me !

God.. he was charming,
looked like innocence personified,
Was I fighting for a kingdom already conquered?

Well, I still seem to exist, for
She came over running,
coochie-cooing to him
"Look at dad" !

The atricle says that the rate of reproduction and speed of mutation is higher for species near the equator. This is in accordance with the world population list

Top 6 individual countries (descending order of population) listed below are either situated verry close to the equator or are intersected by it.

The life-span also is supposedly shorter for such species. This does not seem to be true for humans given the advancement in the medical world. Now, the life-expectancy seems to be prety much related to the health standards in the country

Flickr : An influence

Tom Sawyer got it right. Why paint a fence when you can get your friends to do it for you for free? He would have been the perfect new-media mogul. Spending time and money creating content on the Internet is so hopelessly dated, so dotcom, so very, very 1.0. The secret of today's successful Web 2.0 companies: build a place that attracts people by encouraging them to create the content—thereby drawing even more people in to create even more stuff. The poster child of this Sawyeresque business model is the photo-sharing site called Flickr.
