A reincarnation of Buddha?

If you still believe that westerners scorn the very theory of reincarnation, then, you are wrong. They have started accepting many Asian mystic beliefs and one of them is about reincarnation.

Now, you tell them about a Nepalese teenager who lives in a jungle and he is attracting thousands of pilgrims because he is considered as Buddha reincarnate and tell me what is their reaction.

The teenager's name is Ram Bahadur Bamjan.


Naturally, such news will attract journalists who are always looking for sensational stories and that again will lead to controversies.

Well, this boy seems to be center of reverence and controversies.

Read story.

World's largest ice Santa.


Turning adversaries into compatibles-a noble and practical attitude is being put into use by the tireless Chinese.
When the whole world is dreading the snow and ice, Chinese is sculpting the world's largest Santa out of ice.

Harbin city is located in the north China where the temperature has fallen below zero degree. Ice is seen everywhere.

A giant Santa is being sculpted that rises to 160 meters long and 24 meters height. If you wonder what is the temperature at Harbin, near Siberia, it is now minus 35 degrees Celsius.

The annual ice festival attracts 800k tourists every year with more count expected this year's white Christmas. Yes, that is how they call it-White Christmas.

Milk meeting coffee.


I am 48 now. Since the age of 12, I have been making coffee for my family. That would be over 13,000 times I would have made coffee in my life so far.

After seeing a few photographs of milk meeting coffee, I realized that I have been making coffee very mechanically and never truly enjoyed the making of coffee.

I remember seeing in a film how spilled food on a table would be converted into a great art. And as per film's script, that art work would be photographed, uploaded in a computer and sold to someone in the internet.

Indian silk under water?

The entire world knows that Indian silk was one of the precious items favored by ancient western
rulers. There is plenty of historical evidence that ancient Roman emperors traded with India. Gold coins minted by Indians and Romans were fund in each other's country.

So it is nothing new that Indian silk was being carried by the ship Quedagh Merchant, that was captured by the noted pirate Captain Kidd in the seventeenth century before it sank off the Dominican coastal waters.

Charles Beekert of the underwater archaeology team, from Indiana University, said that the wreck has remained undiscovered all these years given its location, just 70 feet off the coast of Catalina Island in the Dominican Republic in less than 10 feet of seawater.

Historians write that Kidd captured the Quedagh Merchant, loaded with valuable satins and silks, gold, silver and other East Indian merchandise, but left the ship in the Caribbean as he sailed to New York on a less conspicuous sloop to clear his name of the criminal charges.

Dolphins not allowed.

This is one of the most weird stories in recent times. I thought only humans were checked at the immigration point in Massachusetts port of entry.

But it is not so obviously. Even dolphins were denied entry. And all they wanted was some medical attention from the state's universal health care system.

These dolphins needed significant medical attention and they chose Massachusetts as their entry point to this country for a reason. It is reported that several dolphins were pregnant. They were stranded near Cape Cod in what appears to have been an immigration akin to Cuban boat people.

In the U.S., Universal health care gained popularity with former President Bill Clinton.

Very amusing-isn't it? Please don't take this story seriously.

A crocodile is in jail.


"Just because, you are a crocodile and can't speak for yourself is not an excuse. You have attacked a person and we are forced to put you behind bars".-Police and Wildlife officers in Australia.

However this is amusing and strange, the truth of it might hurt Blue Cross members if they are aware of this news that appeared in Metro.

I quote:
"A crocodile spent the night behind bars at a police station in a remote Australian mining town after it attacked fishermen.".

"Police and wildlife officers found the crocodile in shallow water about 30 yards from the ramp and decided to hold it in the cell until it could be moved to a crocodile farm."

Was it stripped of its arms?-Smile
