Hats off to you Mr. Farmer, there is Hope yet!

Who ever knew about Alderman Alan Graham, an ordinary farmer from northern Ireland, until he appeared in BBC in the past few days as one of the men who made headlines in the year 2011.  But what has he done to get to be a part of such an illustrious list.  This Northern Ireland farmer had agreed to allow R&B singer Rihanna to shoot a video in one of his fields.   But when he drew up the agreement little did he know who she was and what she was up to. But she soon caught his eye when he was about to head for home after work in the field and saw her on his land in little more than a bikini. 

Reason for the Season

It’s a Christmas greeting from a friend of mine that provoked these few lines.  I knew my friend to be an excellent boy, practicing devout Christian.  These were the words in his greetings. “Santa Claus is coming along with a rainbow of gifts especially for you. Wish you a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year”. I felt so sorry at this greeting and decided to reply him. In my reply I just asked him a question.  “Since when did Christmas become a feast of Santa Clause and no more of Jesus?” 

Growing old gracefully!

The news about the retirement homes in the west or the retirement apartments as they call it, have caught the attention of people these days.  What’s special about these “old age homes”.  These are known to be well-equipped nursing homes where people come to pass their old age.  In most of these western countries the life expectancy is very high and many live up to even 100 years.
