Cleopatra

I was having a discussion with one of my colleagues at work about Egypt and I don't recollect how but we got into this talk about Cleopatra.
He (my colleague) got into story telling mode and he told me that Cleopatra had married her younger brother to stay in power and she also killed her sister some time later in her life time so as to usurp the kingdom from her.

History and its weird tales !!!!!

Chronicles of Bangalore

I fight the wicked feeling of going back to bed at 6.00 AM everyday.
I hate the first week of exercise. Hopefully by coming Tuesday I will have relaxed into this new routine of mine.
I am sleepy till the time the music starts...from then on its good fun. And a hot water bath after the session is bliss :D

Work is alright.

I have decided to volunteer for kilikili.org during my spare time in Bangalore.

Was chatting with a close friend of mine and we have successfully revived our long lost plan . We are a group of school friends who had decided to contribute money for education and give it to our school. The school will redirect the money to whoever is in need. The plan will finally see the light of the day thanks to net banking and chat messengers :).
Kudos Technology !!

Dance aerobics

Today was the first day at my dance-aerobics classes. Good fun but now I can feel every muscle in my body. I am dead tired. Also I didn't sleep too well so head is aching.
Hopefully I will pick up faster than expected. :)

Tired...but hopeful

I thought so much today that I am tired of thinking.

Thought about my plans - BSc(Agriculture) , farming, doing something for NGOs, YUJ, political scene in country, Sids plan about studying further.
The future is so uncertain, scary too..isn't it?

Thought about what I have achieved so far too.
No one thought I would do a post-graduate course and that too with first class I am the most educated in my Moms side of the family.

A good career...yeah I think I am doing pretty well. I have my house at the age of 25. I had dreamt of it. Now we have it :D. Have a rocking marriage

But I am hopeful...very hopeful :) of the future as well. I have a life to make whatever we have thought of come true.

Damn!!

I had written a real long post and something happened and everything was gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The Story of Atlantis and Why?

Note:Atlantis is the name of a legendary island first mentioned during the time of Plato. Many people believe the tale to be complete fiction, the creation of a philosopher's imagination used to illustrate an argument.

The Story

Over 11,000 years ago there existed an island nation located in the middle of the Atlantic ocean populated by a noble and powerful race. The people of this land possessed great wealth thanks to the natural resources found throughout their island. The island was a center for trade and commerce. The rulers of this land held sway over the people and land of their own island and well into Europe and Africa.

This was the island of Atlantis.

Atlantis was the domain of Poseidon, god of the sea. When Poseidon fell in love with a mortal woman, Cleito, he created a dwelling at the top of a hill near the middle of the island and surrounded the dwelling with rings of water and land to protect her.

Cleito gave birth to five sets of twin boys who became the first rulers of Atlantis. The island was divided among the brothers with the eldest, Atlas, first King of Atlantis, being given control over the central hill and surrounding areas.

For generations the Atlanteans lived simple, virtuous lives. But slowly they began to change. Greed and power began to corrupt them. When Zeus saw the immorality of the Atlanteans he gathered the other gods to determine a suitable punishment.

Soon, in one violent surge it was gone. The island of Atlantis, its people, and its memory were swallowed by the sea.


Why is it that human beings live happily for a while surrounded by abundance (in nature etc.)...then create complications around themselves leading to their own destruction?

At times I feel we all are moving towards a common huge complication...which will make our lives miserable.
