Love!!!

Love isn't just winning heart,

It's more of feeling its beat,
Love isn't talking all u want,
It's more to speak in silence.

Love isn't seeing things in each other,
It's more of seeing everything together,
Love isn't spending every moment together,
It's more of feel the presence in absence.

Love isn't just always talking sweet,
It's more of saying what's in heart,
Love isn't about presents and gift,
It's more of respect the very presence.

Love isn't just dreaming of being together,
It's more of being there for each other,
Love isn't just giving everything there,
It's more of respecting each others space.

Love is like a stream or a river,
Which has a continuous soft flow,
Love is like always a fresh air,
Which continually touches us slow.

Love is like a clear blue sky,
Which keeps our spirits too high,
Love is like a soft burning fire,
Which lights within us the desire.

Love isn't what all we think,
It's not even what we all talk,
Its all which exists on this earth,
Which makes us realize our depth.

Laughter!! Control, if you can!!

Can anyone be ever so successful in making everyone laugh, for more than 70 years!! Yes, my fav "Tom & Jerry", they have been doing this.

All of us have seen this particular 10 minutes video. But, little I knew that, this is the first ever creation by the great duo, "William Hanna & Joseph Barbera".

This particular video was produced in 1939 & released on Feb 10, 1940 :D

Though lost Oscars in 1940, it has remained in our hearts for ever.

Every kid's favourite, I can almost say, kids learn to laugh their heart out with these characters.

And for me, it always catches the attention and makes me glued to TV.

Trivias:

1. The only credential shown in the video is "a Rudolf Ising Production"

1. Though it didn't make it to Oscars, this video won Academy Awards.

1. MGM had no intention of creating any follow-up cartoons, but the Awards supported "H&B" request to do so.

1. T&J shorts made their Television debut only in 1975.

1. The Video doesn't show the name as "Tom & Jerry", as it was christened later.

1. Tom's name is "Jasper" & Jerry's is said to be "Jinx" (though, the name is not shown in Video)

1. At over nine minutes in length, this is the longest theatrical Tom and Jerry short released.

1. This is one of three Tom and Jerry shorts where the title is a pun on the fairytale Puss in Boots. The others are Puss n' Toots and Puss 'n' Boats.

1. The maid (Mammy-two-shoes), black lady's face is never shown in any of the Tom & Jerry's cartoons.. (I so so wish to see her face, for once)

1. In 2003, T&J appeared in a commercial for Ford Mondeo, for the first time.

PS: There is a saying in kannada "Bekkige Chellata, Ilige pranasankata", which means, What's Fun for cat is pain for mouse. But, these characters have actually reversed it. Unlike our normal cats, Tom is not out to eat Jerry, but only to trouble/torment him, but most of the time, end up being the victim himself.

Policophobia

Inc.1

When we are about to enter the New Year, obviously none wants to be in the office. But, we got permission to go home, only after 9:30pm. So, all of us, hurriedly packed our bags and rushed. As my colleague hadn’t got his vehicle, I agreed to drop him on the way. In a journey of 15 kms, all that he did is to keep a count of how many times I jumped a red signal. When I dropped him, the count had reached 13. Well, I’m a safe driver, who’ll just not take any risks on road and know my vehicle very well. But, still not a virtue of a good citizen. Agree!!

Inc. 2

Was caught in a mad mad traffic, and as I’d to take right turn, just came a lil ahead on the right side. But, the many vehicles started honking like crazy, and as the traffic flow had reduced from all the other sides, I took turn some 2 seconds before the “GO” signal was on again. Hmmm, for my bad luck, the traffic police noticed it and tried stopping my vehicle. I’d made a mistake and paying the fine was my duty. But, I was not ready to talk to them. So, took u turn, and started driving on the right side of the road,, Goddd, was I too lucky, that, there was no vehicles from the opposite side.. I took turn to the immediate next road I could find, and didn’t stop riding till the end of that road. And, through out, I’d a feeling of the traffic police chasing me, not for one, but 2 mistakes I did that moment on the road.

Hmmm,, Mistakes done and, though have not met with any accident till date (luckily!!), all those signal jumps and riding without helmet, has costed me more than just money. I’m suffering from Policophobia.

I’m trying to overcome the same, by following all the rules on road, these days. But, realized that I’m not gonna be cured soon.

Coz,

This weekend was completely about shopping and roaming with friends. As I entered a small cross in Malleshwaram, I saw the traffic police standing there. My heart beat increased like in the Inc.2 and in a fraction of second, I thought of whether

I’ve all the documents,

I’ve not entered one way

Not jumped any signal

Wearing my helmet……….…

In the next fraction, I realized, I was walking down the lane and not riding: D

Smile!
