i was taken aback when i heard on a bbc documentary that showed the place, Shiraz in Iran and how wines used to be grown/made there until the revolution 30 years ago. from there my mind was instantly able to make the connection between this city and the wine, Shiraz. i wouldn't be surprised if the wine got its name from the city.

google "origin of wine making." u might be as surprised as i was!

did u know? that the coastline of Greenland is approximately the length of the circumference of the earth @ the equator! link.

understanding yawning. link.

etymology of the word, understanding. my take is that, one gets a better view/comprehension of things when they stand underneath that object. ;-)

i just listened to, "maya" by carrie tree. i liked it. i like the way the voice rasps one instant, then becomes smooth the next, and then almost breaks the next, very effortlessly. link.

i'm tired of Pak's argument that they 2 r a victim of terrorism. the point i want 2 make is, that terrorism is not fermented in India or based out of Indian soil. 2 me, that's a huge difference. rather, it a bumper harvest of the seeds (crop) Pak had sown by allowing its land 2 b used 4 terrorist training camps and on account of ISI's involvement in nurturing these terrorist organizations.

if Pak cannot keep its house in order, India would b more than glad 2 help pursue those rogue/terrorist elements in its land. as simple as that. related link.

just in case, u thought india was illtreating it's muslim population, u might b surprised to know the following.

"India is the only Non-Muslim country in the world where Muslims have college and job reservations. Muslims are even given money to undertake Haj pilgrimage." link.

and the college reservations & job reservations come @ the expense of the majority hindu population, just on the basis that, someone was born as a muslim in india. 

even hindus don't get tax payer's money to make religious piligrimages to hindu shrines!

"Should it become clear that the men who rampaged through Mumbai trained in Pakistan, even if the Pakistani government had no hand in the operation, what will stop the Indians from adopting the same position?" link.

that's exactly, my thoughts too.
