Welcome to the Caribbean calypso. Above is my wild go to the top. Wish you all a Happy World Cup 2007 and late nite viewing. Thieves and burglers are sure to go through a lean period. My advice to them, " Have a break guys. Sit back and enjoy."

Making Of A Picture
The man on right was wandering aimlessly when he saw a settee in the green frame. Think he was sort of tired and wanted to rest for a while, so he stepped inside and sat in the middle with both legs up. Before he could regain his full composure, the woman on left pushed him aside and acquired most of the settee. The tussle between the two was on for the possession of larger share. In this ado, the boy in middle gave them a sweet surprise and secured his place with a cry. While fine adjustments were in progress, they all were surprised by yet another visitor, who also became a part of this picture. Finally, they all found their butt place within the limits of the green frame. But life is to change. After few years, flankers will make way for new entries and so the picture will keep changing with time...

END OF A CIVILIZATION
Six months back, I noticed termites at my bathroom door sill. I ignored them as I was planning a complete renovation in a years time and left the entire vastness of the sill to their disposal. The small, fragile but relentlessly hardworking creature, soon started building a colony in the heart of hard wood sill. Thousands of worker termites built a palace for the queen and a housing scheme for Queen's offspring was under construction. Day in and day out, the creepy creature was busy implementing the architectural marvel for a comfortable living for the society as whole. A civilization was underway...
Away from the vagaries of nature and in the lap of luxury, my little friends started growing in numbers quickly.
In Rakesh Roshan style computer, I started capturing and deciphering sounds emanating from this enigmatic world of growing activity and prosperity as follows:
at the end of 1st month
==================
Queen Ant: "My dear sisters, At the end of current term I wud like to congratulate you for having done a good job. During this period we have recorded a growth of 500% in terms of population, 700% in terms of area and our GDP has gone up by 1000%. But we have to do better in order to make our world stronger, more beautiful and comfortable. I am going to set higher targets for the next term, lets hit the bull's eye."
at the end of 2nd month
==================
Queen Ant: "My dear sisters, At the end of current term I wud like to congratulate you for having done a great job. During this period we have recorded a growth of 1000% in terms of population, 1500% in terms of area and our GDP has gone up by 2000%. Also, our mortality rate has dropped from 30% to 15%. But we have to do better in order to make our world more beautiful and comfortable. I am going to set higher targets for the next term, lets hit the bull's eye."
And so on...
...Blissfully oblivious of their ever diminishing resources, the termites kept working harder and kept eating and growing faster, till one day, I found a heap of dust below where the door sill used to stand once. A solitary cockroach was devouring the remains of a thriving civilization, which were now laying on the ground just few breaths away from history. I took out an anti termite spray from my tool bag and cut short the agony of dying termites. Mercy killing is a civilized act, so I believe...

Jurassic Park II
Jurassic Park II
ACT I
Dinosaurs were lords of the Earth for more than 200 millions years. Their supremacy was uncontested...But 65 millions years ago, dinosaurs suddenly died. They all disappeared in a few years!
Why, only dinosaurs disappeared? when mammals, birds, insects and above all lots of reptiles stay alive! Why did dinosaurs disappear all at once?
All sorts of explanations have been made to explain dinosaurs' end- epidemic, climate change, competition with mammals volcanic explosion and the meteorite one. And lately some say, dinosaurs were too fat to move quickly to feed and fend themselves...
Personally, I don’t believe in any of the above explanations.
ACT II
Humans were lords of the Earth for more than a million years. Their supremacy was uncontested...But n millions years ago, humans suddenly died. They all disappeared in a few years!
Why, only humans disappeared? when mammals, birds, insects and above all lots of monkeys stay alive! Why did humans disappear all at once?
Probably, only we would know the answer of the above. The answer would be as follows:
Humans civilization, in its progression, went through stone age, bronze age and iron age. Iron provided teeth and claws to this dinosaur in making. Towards the later part of the iron age, he found a black liquid substance, called crude oil, which proved to be an easy source of energy. There was no looking back for him after that discovery. For all his energy needs there was this answer – OIL. Oil became an integral part of his life. He started growing in size, volume, strength and speed. Using jumbo jets, mammoth ships, giant cranes and huge machines he built sky scrappers, bridges, tunnels, roads etc. He controlled climate using the same easy energy source. He also made lethal weapons and sophisticated nuclear warheads.
Now he could not think of a life without this natural resource. The ease of using this resource, resulted in its wasteful use in copious quantities. Soon, this substance became scares and came at the verge of exhaustion in the womb of mother earth.
…And this was the time, man took arms against man. There were fight for possession of oil fields. Man became man’s enemy. Third world war resulted. Nuclear warheads were used. Most of their population was wasted in this war for oil. Few remained after the war, but due to exposure to nuclear radiation these men were not able to reproduce and it was matter of time that dinosaur II, disappeared from the face of this earth…
============
Now, I think I have an answer for dinosaur-I’s extinction.
I guess, in their last days, they got used to some natural resource, which slowly exhausted from the earth, as oil in our case. And there was a big fight among these dinosaurs for its possession. Weaker dinosaurs were eliminated. And among the stronger dinosaurs, the weaker sex. The earth was left with similar sex dinosaurs, which could not reproduce and hence became extinct.
