Change of Haircut

The "BALD" me !!!


My fresh new haircut. People who doesn't know me long enough don't know my "style".
I did this 3 times. The "this" I meant is my habit of keeping long hair until i don't feel comfortable in it then shave my head. This is just the "number 2" cut, however I've never tried "number 1" cuts as it reveals the scalp and i am afraid it hurts my scalp and my new hair will become "rougher" after that.

Optical Illusion Fiesta

Optical Illusions

Sometimes your eyes play tricks on you.
The pictures on this page are called"optical illusions."
Optical means vision. An illusion is something that isn't what it seems to be. An Optical illusion is something that plays trick on your vision. Optical illusions teach us about how the eye and brain work together to create vision.In out everyday three-dimensional (3-D) world, our brain get clues about depth, shading, lighting and position to help us interpret what our eyes see. But when we look at two-dimensional (2-D) images that lack some of these clues, the brain can be fooled.
Can you figure out these optical illusion?
I figured out everyone of them in a split of a second.

I've sent some of these pictures to some of my friends but some of them took quite a long time to figure out.I guess this is due to way people interpret and reflects some personality in judging things.
I always tend to look at a situation from different perspectives.

BE A LAKE

THE Master instructed the unhappy young man to put some salt in a glass of water, and to drink it.
"How did it taste?"
"Awful!"spat the apprentice.
They walked in the silence to a nearby lake, where the Master asked him to take another handful of salt and throw it in. After he had swirled the salt into the water, the old man said,"Now drink from the lake."
As the water dripped down the apprentice's chin, the latter asked, "How did it taste?"
"Good!"
"Did you taste the salt?"
"No."
The Master sat beside this troubled youngster,took both his hands, and said: "The pain of life is pure salt, no more, no less. The amount of pain in life remains exactly the same.
"But the amount of 'pain' we taste depends on the container we put it into. So when you are in pain, the only thing to do is enlarge your sense of things. Stop being a glass. Become a lake!"

Note: To my dear friends who face pain in times,understand and benefit from it.
