Is It Worst Drubbing In History?



Bulgaria's national women's ice hockey team went down 0-82 to Slovakia in their final fourth match at a tournament in Latvia recently - one of the most one-sided matches in the history of sport. After reading this line, some readers will say 'hahahahahaha', while others will argue why the team was sent to take part in the event? Quite pathetic to see such a score-line. So incompetent that they failed to score a single goal. Still, I wish them all the best for the future!

Remembering Mother



Does she need any introduction? Widely regarded as the symbol of peace, love, affection, and compassion, Mother Teresa left us on September 5, 1997. What she did in her entire life is a great lesson for us. It is not easy to describe her achievements in a paragraph. Throughout her life, Mother worked for the poor, sick, and orphaned, ignoring her own personal life.

"Joy is prayer - Joy is strength - Joy is love - Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls."- Mother Teresa
"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless".- Mother Teresa

Accept It



For me, all are fake in this world except 'death' and 'sex'. If you ask me how, I will not be able to explain them. Sorry. They are inexplicable. If you enjoy funny quotes of famous people, here are some famous funny quotes on the two subjects. Simply enjoy them. Don't think too much.

Aesop (620 BC - 560 BC):-It is with our passions, as it is with fire and water, they are good servants but bad masters.

Aimee Mullins:-Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part.

Alfred Lord Tennyson:-The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.

Betty Friedan:-Instead of fulfilling the promise of infinite orgasmic bliss, sex in the America of the feminine mystique is becoming a strangely joyless national compulsion, if not a contemptuous mockery.

Billy Crystal:-Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place.

C. S. Lewis:-Mortal lovers must not try to remain at the first step; for lasting passion is the dream of a harlot and from it we wake in despair.

Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider:-It's just human. We all have the jungle inside of us. We all have wants and needs and desires, strange as they may seem. If you stop to think about it, we're all pretty creative, cooking up all these fantasies. it's like a kind of poetry.

George Burns:-I can remember when the air was clean and sex was dirty.

Joan Rivers:-A man can sleep around, no questions asked, but if a woman makes nineteen or twenty mistakes she's a tramp.

Marlene Dietrich:-In America sex is an obsession, in other parts of the world it is a fact.

R. D. Laing:-Life is a sexually transmitted disease.

Zsa Zsa Gabor:-I know nothing about sex because I was always married.
+++

A. Sachs:-Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.

John James Ingalls:-In the democracy of the dead all men at last are equal. There is neither rank nor station nor prerogative in the republic of the grave.

John Heywood:-And death makes equal the high and low.

William Mitford:-Men fear death, as if unquestionably the greatest evil, and yet no man knows that it may not be the greatest good.

Walter Scott:-Death--the last sleep? No, it is the final awakening.

Henry Van Dyke:-Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.

Lucan:- The gods conceal from men the happiness of death,that they may endure
life.

Mark Twain:-We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Adam, the first great benefactor of
the human race: he brought death into the world.

Proverb:-Good men must die, but death cannot kill their names.

Is It True ?



While Reading newspapers and magazines, I found such type of strange confessions. Every husband on this planet claims that his wife is most beautiful in the world. Similarly, every woman in the world claims that her husband is most handsome man on the planet. But I feel that they all are liars. How can they say like that ? If their wives are most beautiful women in the world, then what about others? Are they ugly ? If their husbands are handsome, what about others? The fact is that everyone is trying to appease each other. Ridiculous. Am I right or wrong?

Yeah. It Is He Who Said This....

Lt. Col. Frank Slade (Al Pacino) To Charlie Simms (Chris O'Donnell): "Women! What can you say? Who made 'em? God must have been a fuckin' genius. The hair... They say the hair is everything, you know. Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls... just wanted to go to sleep forever? Or lips... and when they touched, yours were like... that first swallow of wine... after you just crossed the desert. Tits. Hoo-ah! Big ones, little ones, nipples staring right out at ya, like secret searchlights. Mmm. Legs. I don't care if they're Greek columns... or secondhand Steinways. What's between 'em... passport to heaven. I need a drink. Yes, Mr Sims, there's only two syllables in this whole wide world worth hearing: pussy. Hah! Are you listenin' to me, son? I'm givin' ya pearls here".

Tranquility In Cinema



Poster Courtesy Wikipedia.org


If you have become bored watching regular formula films, here is a movie, which I strongly recommend to watch. Directed by South Korea's Kim Ki-duk - one of the highly controversial directors of his genre - "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring," has managed to garner international appreciation. Pristine beauty, excellent cinematography, unique story line and Buddhism certainly mystify the movie. If you are looking peace in a movie than definitely it is worth watching (Rating R). It has won 10 awards all over the world.

And My Vote Goes To…..




Not Heath Ledger, Not Christian Bale. Neither Michael Caine nor Morgan Freeman. My vote goes to simply The Dark Night. I am not a huge fan of fantasy or sci-fi cinema. That's why I never watched a single movie of this genre, but this time I went to theatre to watch The Dark Night. And I was amazed to see the powerful performance by Ledger and Bale. And it is difficult to say who is the best. As a villain, Ledger certainly deserves an Oscar and as a hero, Bale's performance was up to the mark. But the question is what forced me to hit the theatre? Is it friends' recommendation or critics' overwhelming positive response or is it a desire to see Ledger for the last time on the screen? I confess that all these factors influenced me to see the movie.




But what is its uniqueness? Many things. One most important thing is sacrifice. Amidst heavy corrupted system, there are certain people who don't want to change their principles. And we should admire these people. We believe that the sole purpose of cinema is to get pure entertainment, but I don't agree with that. There is gruesome violence, but peace was there in a hidden format. And just you have to feel it. Villain was there to destroy everything, but hero was there to save everything. A must watch for not only batman fans but for those who want to appreciate movies with dark theme.
