I heard a horrible true story about <BR>contact lenses.... It happened to a 21 year old guy, he wore a pair of contact <BR>lenses during a barbecue party. While, he was barbecuing, he stared at the fire <BR>charcoals. After a few seconds, he started to scream for help and moved rapidly, <BR>jumping up and down. No one in the party knew why... When he arrived at the <BR>Hospital, the doctor said he'll be blind permanently courtesy of the contact <BR>lenses that he had worn. Contact lenses are made by plastics, and the heat from <BR>the charcoal melted his contact lenses.<br><br>So, tell all your friends..... DO <BR>NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES WHERE OVERHEATING AND FLAMES ARE CONCERNED.<br></font><BR><BR>]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 12 Jul 2008 16:43:13 +0530</pubDate><link>http://meenakshib.rediffiland.com/blogs/2008/07/12/Danger-of-contact-lenses-1.html</link></item><item><title>Play Safe Holi</title><description><![CDATA[<P><STRONG><EM><FONT size=5>Holi Do's</FONT></EM></STRONG></P><P>Dental caps are a good idea to protect you teeth from staining. </P><P>Sunglasses go a long way in keeping your eyes safe from the harmful chemicals of the colors. </P><P>Wear old and ragged clothes that you can be at easilydiscard while playing Holi, as your clothes may never look wearable again with all those color stains.</P><P>Brightly collared and dark collared clothes are preferable for the mood of the day. </P><P>Wear full-sleeved t-shirt or shirts that cover your arms fully. Socks will be a good idea too. </P><P>Always put some amount of oil on your head and body. Apply thick coating of paint on your nails- both in fingers and toes so that they remain protected. </P><P>Granted that it is almost impossible to save you face from attack of colors, so while being attacked, keep eyes and lips tightly closed or one can apply good amount of oily body lotion or oil to the body so that it does not become dry after taking bath this procedure will help you to wash off colors easily later on. </P><P>If you are traveling, keep the car windows tightly shut. Better still; avoid traveling on Dhuledi, the day of playing colors. </P><P>Use a hat, cap or anything like that to protect your hair from being collared with hard-to Rinse dyes. </P><P>Put on your worst gears so that you won't have to take on the hassles of an immediate Washing. </P><P>Do not bump into the frenzied group of mob if you take to streets. Better you cross the Road to the sidewalk across. Or, simply stay at a safe distance. </P><P>While washing off the color, use lukewarm water and keep your eyes and lips tightly Closed.</P><P><BR><FONT size=5><STRONG><EM>Holi Don'ts"</EM></STRONG></FONT> </P><P>Discourage your children to play Holi with eggs, mud or gutter water. Never turn a blind eye to such unclean ways of celebration. </P><P>Avoid use of abir as it has flakes of mica. </P><P>If you do not want your children and family to participate in the revelry, have a nice and quiet holiday at home. Your children should be confident enough to take the decision of not participating in the Holi celebrations. Teach them not to fall prey to pressure. </P><P>Teach your children to respect other's independence during Holi. For instance, you should stop your children from forcing Holi celebrations on a hesitant neighbor. </P><P>If you fancy a glass of bhang (grass of the opium plant mashed and mixed with milk or sweets), go ahead. But let your family not get carried away. Your children should not get addicted to this intoxicating drink. Holi revelry should be contained within decent limits. </P><P>Avoid loud and rowdy Holi parties, which might spoil the family environment. Children get accustomed to such parties at a very early age and tend to repeat the same type of celebrations later in life. </P><P>Don't walk alone on the streets on the Holi day. You'll be a sure target for miscreants. . Play Holi only with a group of close friends and relatives as against strangers. </P><P>Use only powdered color and water. </P><P>Keep a big bucket of water handy for your children, so that they do not resort to gutter water and other unclean sources. </P><P>Roll your windows up while driving your car. </P><P>Be available at one venue throughout Holi, especially if you want to avoid rowdy Holi revelers. </P><P>Always take some moments off to know the cultural significance of Holi. It is a festival of color, a harbinger of the spring season, and not a dirty game. </P>]]></description><pubDate>Thu, 20 Mar 2008 13:10:06 +0530</pubDate><link>http://meenakshib.rediffiland.com/blogs/2008/03/20/Play-Safe-Holi-1.html</link></item><item><title>Plz Appreciate &quot;Her&quot;</title><description><![CDATA[<FONT size=2> </FONT><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal;

We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym.<BR> <BR>In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company itself. The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up. Everyone thought: 'Who is this guy who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he died!'.<BR> <BR>One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood near the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. <BR> <BR>There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself. <BR> <BR>There was also a sign next to the mirror that said:<BR><BR>'There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: it is YOU. You are the only person who can revolutionize your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself. <BR> <BR>Your life does not change when your friends change, when your parents change, when your boss changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life. <BR> <BR>The most important relationship you can have is the one you have with yourself.' <BR> <BR>Examine yourself, watch yourself. <BR> <BR><B>Don't be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses: be a winner, build yourself and your reality. It's the way you face Life that makes the difference.<BR></B><br><img src="http://ri.rediffiland.com/homepimages/home3/36/f33b2d651aada4ec7a56eadc20342fdd/homep/images/1205320673">]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 12 Mar 2008 16:46:32 +0530</pubDate><link>http://meenakshib.rediffiland.com/blogs/2008/03/12/You-Are-Responsible.html</link></item><item><title>Amazing Dyslexia</title><description><![CDATA[<P><STRONG><EM><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#0000ff size=5>Willard Wigen - Microscopic Art <BR><BR>Willard is a resident of <BR>Birmingham , England . <BR>The show is in Manchester . <BR>He has a learning disability (Dyslexia),<BR>but has talented hands. <BR>He makes the sculptures out of</FONT></EM></STRONG><FONT size=5><FONT face="Palatino Linotype"> <BR><FONT color=#0000ff><B><I>dust particles, sugar crystals, etc.</FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" size=5> <BR></FONT><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" size=5>Works only around midnight, <BR>and can only do some of the work <BR>between heartbeats.</FONT></I></B></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times"> <BR><BR></FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=5><B><I>The Statue of Liberty in the eye of a needle</I></B></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times"> </FONT></P><P><IMG height=248 alt=2 src="file:///D:/meenakshibmail/Embedded/1b9ff0f.jpg" width=280> <BR><BR><IMG height=206 alt=3 src="file:///D:/meenakshibmail/Embedded/1b9ff19.jpg" width=309> </P><P> </P><P><STRONG><EM><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=5>Elvis on a pin head</FONT></EM></STRONG><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times"> <BR><BR></FONT><IMG height=268 alt=4 src="file:///D:/meenakshibmail/Embedded/1b9ff23.jpg" width=280></P><P><STRONG><EM><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=5>Boxing ring next to a match head</FONT></EM></STRONG><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times"> <BR><BR></FONT><IMG height=200 alt=5 src="file:///D:/meenakshibmail/Embedded/1b9ff2d.jpg" width=323> <FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=5><B><I><BR><BR>Girl with balloon is standing on an eyelash <BR>glued to the top of a needle</I></B></FONT></P><P><IMG height=200 alt=6 src="file:///D:/meenakshibmail/Embedded/1b9ff37.jpg" width=280> <FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=5><B><I><BR><BR>Snow White & The 7 Dwarfs in the eye of a needle <BR>(Note the wicked witch on top)</I></B></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times"> <BR></FONT></P><P><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times"><IMG height=200 alt=7 src="file:///D:/meenakshibmail/Embedded/1b9ff4b.jpg" width=320> <FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=5><B><I><BR><BR>Visitors view exhibits through a microscope</I></B></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times"> <BR><BR></FONT><IMG height=166 alt=8 src="file:///D:/meenakshibmail/Embedded/1b9ff55.jpg" width=285> <FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=5><B><I><BR><BR>The Thinker on the head of a pin</I></B></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times"> </FONT></FONT></P><P><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times"><IMG height=269 alt=9 src="file:///D:/meenakshibmail/Embedded/1b9ff5f.jpg" width=280> <FONT face="Times New Roman, Times" color=#000080><BR>                       </FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=5><B><BR><I>Peter Pan & Tinkerbell etc. on a small fishhook</I></B></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times"> <BR><BR></FONT><IMG height=219 alt=10 src="file:///D:/meenakshibmail/Embedded/1b9ff6a.jpg" width=280> <FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=5><B><I><BR><BR>The royal court in the eye of a needle</I></B></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times"> <BR><BR></FONT><IMG height=195 alt=11 src="file:///D:/meenakshibmail/Embedded/1b9ff74.jpg" width=280> <BR></P></FONT><br><img src="http://ri.rediffiland.com/homepimages/home3/36/f33b2d651aada4ec7a56eadc20342fdd/homep/images/1204545392">]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 03 Mar 2008 17:24:43 +0530</pubDate><link>http://meenakshib.rediffiland.com/blogs/2008/03/03/Amazing-Dyslexia-1.html</link></item></channel></rss>
