They had come up with a new song , for their Ads very very catchy!!! ear bug alert! i tried to find the song online and was unable to do so, not even a YouTube upload of the Ad itself. but i came to know that it is actually a Plagiarized version of Teresa brewer’s “Music Music Music” song from the early 1960s.
These songs are so catchy, just makes you soo gleeee! I think i am going to be hearing more of her music for some time now, you should check it out too. More about Teresa Brewer :
CHILD PRODIGY ...the 1930s Theresa Breuer was born in Toledo, Ohio on May 7, 1931 - the first child of a glass inspector for the Libby-Owens Company and his homemaker wife. Neither of Teresa's parents possessed a particular aptitude or interest in music or performance, and none of the four younger brothers that would eventually make up the family pursued vocal music, but it was clear from early in her life that Teresa was a natural talent.
Recognizing her young daughter's remarkable abilities and drive, Mrs. Breuer auditioned Teresa, just over two years old, for radio station WSPD's "Uncle August's Kiddie Show". Teresa performed on the show, singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game, for pay consisting of cupcakes and cookies from the show's sponsor, the Lutz Bakery.

you know its been a long time since you wrote your last post. to be frank, you had gotten yourself 'reset'. hard to explain it, but its similar to unlearning everything. so you somehow felt you shouldn't write another post until, you hit a problem. Its not too hard for a problem to find you once you have reset. You work long days, cause when you lie down, you don't want to be able to think,you want sleep to find you easily. But yesterday you couldn't sleep. Its back, those old days,when you were forced by life to stay awake at night without sleep to accept and recognize your existence and actions.At first its terrifying. you are afraid to peep inside. You know deep down you dont understand life. but some part of you wants to desperately understand it, and there is also a part which is scared of stumbling upon a possible truth.
But you want to be at peace with yourself. its really late, in a few hours there will be sunlight. you can no longer lie down, your breathing is heavy,its almost as if you are breathing steel. But you are also tired. You sit up in your bed.
"Why? ... Nothing in life makes sense".The street light is flooding your room and You notice you are casting a long shadow across the floor. You look at it for sometime.... 'the constant companion'. Doesn't your shadow always follow you. is it not always less a feet away. An Old man once said the shadows are the greatest gift you could have asked for, it is the very form of 'Death'. that's how close death always is, less than a feet away.
Suddenly you are face to face with death, even though it had followed you for ever.It is no longer a stranger to you. A role that death plays for you is to remind you of how soon you are forgotten. You do much to impress yourselves upon the world, to make yourselves remembered, to stamp your existence.And yet, as Marcus Aurelius often reminds himself, after we die we are quickly forgotten. Our legacy is short in the larger time span of history.
"All of us are creatures of a day; the rememberer and the remembered alike" (Book 4, §35 ,Meditations of Marcus Aurelius).
If you have to be at peace with yourself, you have to prepare for things that are likely to remove that peace.
I have found a very useful Time Management software. i think it will help you. its called time left. i usually use it to track how long have i been online when all really needed to do was check out if i got back that very important reply. Instead of just spending say 10 minutes i
often find myself spending at least 45 minutes in front of the comp every time i log in for a small job.
You can use this for many many reasons. 1.Its Completely FREE. 2.Users can select between setting a clock, a stopwatch, a reminder, an auction watch, a timer or a sticky note.

These are not reviews in any sense, but hopefully will introduce you to some rare titles, that are relatively unknown.And may help you in buying in something which may interest you.
The Heart of Buddhist Meditation, A handbook of mental training based on the Buddha’s way of mindfulness by Nyanaponika Thera
Now let me tell you a few things that are not printed on the back cover. This book is actually a handbook of “mindfulness". It contains an extensive commentary and text of the Maha-Satipathana-Sutta, as well as all other citations from the all the Buddhist cannons regarding Mindfulness. All of them contain very good commentaries. This book is the first and last book you would need to read regarding the “Mindfulness & clear comprehension teachings of the Buddha”
1.One cannot be in touch with silence and time at the same time. 2.Silence and time cannot exist together. 3.Silence is ever present and ever existent 4.hence, time must be a phantom, a mere illusion
