Random-ness

My happy holidays are over and now I'm back to square one. New semester is starting next week and it's the usual process all and over again. New subjects, new/old lecturers with new/old approaches (better be a good one so that i won't fell asleep!) . Seriously I'm looking forward to when all this will end, which is definitely not so soon. But then i couldn't be happier than I'm not now, because my practical will be up in the line next. *sigh*..And if it is for 6 months, God I'm dead! 6 months to spend in school!!! BTW, it might not be a big deal because i have to deal it the rest of my working life... lolz....It will only cause problem for me financially, physically, not forgetting mental challenges while dealing with students. But i made the choice, and whether i like it or not i still have to do it. But if what I had planned turn well, I guess i will change too, into a serious and dedicated person towards my profession. End of my emo speech. hmmm...wondering why am I writing up this , it's because tomorrow is the results collecting day! *sigh again*

Raja Ravi Varma - Part 2

I had written once about Raja Ravi Varma (or also spelled as Verma) before this. I believe that I had not shared the important informations as I'm being googled constantly for him! .


Raja Ravi Varma is a excellent painter, who provided inspiration for many artists during the 19^th century. Believe me or not, his talent is purely gifted as he did not undergo training in any art school. He developed his art mainly by his constant practice. Remember how the saying goes, Practice makes perfect! We had someone whom had proved the sayings.

Raja Ravi Varma became popular for his clear presentation of subjects from Ramayana and Mahabharata and stories about gods and heroes. His imaginations create charming figures and scenes like real life with skill and imagination won him recognition in India and also from abroad. Remember all the paintings with the lively eyes, those eyes he painted could speak words. I certainly wish that I could be blessed to admire the beauty of his paintings in person.

Raja Ravi Varma was born on 29^th April 1848 in a royal family at Kilimanoor, Travancore (now part of Kerala State in South India). He started drawing in the age of six. He was trained by his uncle, and also guided by a British painter (to learn oil paintings), Theodore Jenson. He married Poororuttati Nal at the age of 17 and settled down in Mavelikara.

Raja Ravi Varma met various artists and studied other styles and the schools of paintings in India, He visited Hindu Pilgrim centers and studied ancient Hindu costumes in detail. He decorated the Lakshmi Vilas Palace in Vadodara (Baroda) with a series of Puranic Paintings.

His knowledge of Sanskrit and acquaintance with forms of beauty helped him to create paintings that were rich in mythological subject. The mythic stories often only describe the characters, but Raja Ravi Varma who was very good in imaginations creates and bring to live the characters by drawing it out. He won quite a few gold medals for some of his paintings.

There came a time when his paintings became popular. Several thousands of his paintings were printed. Through his paintings he brought the gods, goddesses and heroes- Shiva, Krishna, Rama, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Sita, Damayanti- to the Hindu Homes.

Raja Ravi Varma passed away at the age of 58 (2^nd October 1906) in attingal near Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala). At the time of his death, he was busy painting the Mysore Khedda (capturing wild elephants) operations.

The world most expensive Saree!

Ever seen a Rs40 lakh (US $100,000) silk saree???

The exceptionally stunning saree is meticulously woven with 12 precious stones and metals to depict 11 of Raja Ravi Varma's popular paintings. Explicitly projected is 'Lady Musicians', one of the painter's very famous works that displays women belonging to diverse cultural backgrounds.


Besides, the border of the saree pictures 10 other paintings of the artist that pays tribute to 20th century artist. The best part of the saree being that the women in the paintings are intricately hand-woven and beautified with jewels of gold, diamond, platinum, silver, ruby, emerald, yellow sapphire, sapphire, cat's eye, topaz, pearl and corals.


Already in the Limca Book of Records, this 40 lakh saree will be the first silk saree that required the use of 7,440 jacquard hooks and 66,794 cards during the weaving process. Moreover, it took nearly 4,680 hours for a group of consummate workers to complete the work.

Take a look at it!

I came across these video clips a few days ago. All this while i thought it was some movie songs when i listen to these songs played in the radio. Turn out that i was so wrong. Well, enjoy the songs as well as the video clip featuring media corp artists.

Yetho Oru Mogam




This song is about 2 people guessing out whether the feelings that they had for each other is Love or not. A very melodic and Prem Ji Amaren will be the next great music composer if he continues to produce beautiful musics like this in future. Prem Ji Amaren is a funny actor on screen, and he will be always with his signature dialog " Enna kodumai Saravanan ithu". So, got an idea of who is he???

Tired......

Last 2 days was very tiring for me. I was doing my part time job at a hypermarket. Basically the job is very interesting as i get to talk with a lot of people. Not only that which excites me, but the new friends that i had made in only 2 days. I don't know the exact reason of everybody being friendly, maybe because they are talkative and likes to make new friends or they are forced to make a friend for a company. For me, as i am talkative (hehe) and also as i need a company for the 8 hours job, i made a lot of friends. The most notable ones are 3. The first is Angela, which smile i adore as she is a very sweet and kind person. She did her shopping with me right after the work, and we had so much fun pushing the trolley around and sampling products. At the end, our trolley are filled with more free gift than the things that we initially bought. My second notable friend is Sufi. He is a very generous and kind boy as he had helped me a lot. At the first day i was struggling to pack my things and he offered his help and waited for me although his shift has ended. And on the way back home (we live in the same area)...we were exchanging ideas and some information...And then is when we realize we were heading to the same way.
Then i asked him the question-->where do he live?..he answer me--> the fourth house from bottom, and the one with aircondition. Then i was like--WHAT!!!!..because my house is just beside his'. That is why living in apartment don't benefit the people and doesn't promote the neighborhood bond.. people live beside each other and they don't bother to notice it until they got some problem or help. I only get to know him because he works in the same place i did...if not, i might never had seen him or spoke to him. but then, what a small world! (hehehe). The third friend, i had confusion at first whether to call her 'Kakak' or 'Auntie'. Although i know that she is way more older than me, i'm afraid that the way i address her could upset her. Then when we were talking more while eating, she herself addressed her as Auntie, which made me clear on how to call her. I really felt and talk(try only) like adults when i talk to one. As i am very talkative, whatever i felt inside my heart,i will just voice it out with 2% of consideration.I know if i go on doing that, i could earn myself enemies or etc. Sometimes i control myself from talking (i will be shy if i'm new to a place)but most of the time, i'm uncontrollable..hehehe..


Overall, the 8 hours work,the new friends, the free samples and so on unforgettable two busiest days made my weekends!!!!

Huhu!!!!

Atlast!!!i owned it!!!hehehe....the shops had it like 2 or 3 yrs ago, but who cares...i liked it very much

Kelsey Briggs

This is a really heartbreaking to watch.....Why did god give such a beautiful gift to a bloody monster and why do the innocent girl have to suffer...there are more of them out there whom are yet to be discovered, it's sickening for me to accept the fact.I can't tell you more about what happened because it will definitely make me swear, so i will provide the story i had gotten over the net....



Kelsey Briggs was born in Oklahoma on December 28,2002 after her parents Lance Briggs and Raye Dawn Smith were divorced.
Raye Dawn Smith started dating a man named Michael Lee Porter.
The first reported incident of child abuse regarding Kelsey was made on Jan.17,2005,and many more were to follow.


Raye Dawn Smith married Michael Lee Porter on April 18,2005.


On May 3,2005 Kelsey was taken out of her home by OKDHS.


May 4,2005 Kelsey was moved to her maternal Grandmother Gayla Smith.
In mid June 2005,after months of documented abuse which included a broken collarbone,multiple abrasions,new bruises and faded bruises from head to toe,and two broken legs,the doctor said Kelsey's legs were spiral fractures,which means someone twisted her little legs forcefully.Three doctors with a combined 90 years experience saw Child Abuse in Kelsey's broken legs.There were numerous court hearings but after it all on June 15,2005 Judge Craig Key sent Kelsey back to her mom and stepfather.The judge said "Kelsey's abuser was unknown."
She remained in state custody and was to be supervised by state agencies.
Her biological father Lance Briggs was in Iraq fighting for our country while his little girl Kelsey was here fighting for her life.


On October 11, 2005 she was murdered apparantly by her Stepfather Micheal Lee Porter but that is up for debate.Raye Dawn and Michael Porter were the only ones with Kelsey the afternoon she died.
The cause of death was blunt force trauma to the abdomen,it was ruled a Homicide.
Kelsey Briggs died just days before her father was to return from Iraq.


Two weeks later Porter was arrested on first degee murder.
Her mother was later charged with two felonies of Child Neglect and Enabling Child Abuse.
In April of 2006 Kelsey's body was exhumed for a second autopsy where sexual abuse was documented.
Not only was this child brutally beaten over a 9 month period she was also sexually assaulted.
The Stepfather's charges were amended to add the sexual abuse.
Porter and Smith divorced after Kelsey's death.
On February 2, 2007 a plea negotiation was entered and approved by the paternal family.
The stepfather plead guilty to a reduced charge of Enabling Child Abuse and received 30 years in prison.
He has no possibility of parole for 25.5 years.


Kelsey's mother Raye Dawn Smith went on trial July 9, 2007.She has since been found guilty of enabling child abuse,she will serve 27 years in prison.Without the possibility of parole for 23 years.
The court says she knew or should have known about Kelsey's abuse.
(what kind of mum is she?????)


Alot of people failed Kelsey.Remember her story the next time you think a child is being abused.Please report it,if you don't, that child may suffer the same fate as Kelsey.Please don't let that happen.
A new law has been named for Kelsey in Oklahoma to prevent this type of failure in the Oklahoma State System.

Yeah....after such thing happens, then only a new law will be enforced....why wait for a death to enforce a new law??? It is very obvious that she was being abused, and yet the judge sent her back with the reason that the abuser is unknown...wtf!!!!!!!! why don't i have special power to stop all this from happening..i really feel helpless...i cannot watch it twice.
The world is filled with cruelty..
