My project is on research side. So I couldn’t able to spend much time on hobbies. Whenever I get time I used to spend my time in Chess. Really it is an interesting game. Our brain becomes fresh when we play this game… This game eats our brain. It is a tool to check our brain capacity. The tradition of organized competitive chess started in the 16th century. Chess today is a recognized sport of the International Olympic Committee. This game does not have any time control. It is based on our tactics and strategy. If we have talent we can complete the game within ten minutes or even it lasts for one hour. But in championship and competition really it is amazing. They extend this game for more than five hours or longer. I love this game since it shows my talent and it refreshes to a new world. In my busy schedule this is the one and only hobby makes me entertained.

A Joyful Day in My Life

August 26th, 2010 admin No comments

Since I have retired from a full time job the most enjoyable thing about each day is that I can be flexible. I wake up in the morning without an alarm clock. After I thank God for another great day I thank him that I do not have to get up at 5am and rush to get ready to the daily grind. I have breakfast with a friend of mine and then work on my crafts, my computer, of just chill out. Later I join a number of new friends in a water aerobics class. I now have time to make new friends and really interact with them. Next I usually return home or go shopping on the way home. I work on my crafts, my computer, of just chill out for awhile. I tutor and students come to my home. My teaching schedule is flexible and changes with day. I always make sure I have time at the end of the day to call friends, or return calls, and to just relax. I thank God for another great day and go to bed when I feel like it. Oh yes, I do fit eating, TV and visiting others in but the greatest thing is that I can do it when I want to. Life is simple and gives me great joy. And best of all, it is MY life.

Glorious Week in Iowa

Last week was a very special week for me. Iowa in July is usually in the hot and humid 90 degree range. Blistering heat normally, but not last week. Last week, we enjoyed the cool 80 degree weather with no humidity. Perfect for the Ragbrai (Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride across Iowa) riders in the state. I did not ride in this year’s ride… instead I chose to spend my week’s vacation in my backyard tending to my flower and vegetable garden. The cooler weather and sunny days provided a backdrop for lazy days spent in a hammock snoozing and reading a book on the patio after a couple hours of meditation that I like to do while pulling weeds from the flower garden. What could be more relaxing than that? I can assure you it was exactly what I needed. If only there was another week in store for me of just such a week… but no, back to the grind of work this week and just the memories of those cool breezes blowing across my face.

Conrad, Iowa – Black Dirt Capital of the World

August 15th, 2010 admin No comments

Conrad is a small city of approximately 1000 residents located in central Iowa and is known as the Black Dirt Capital of the World. This community is proud of its people, schools, churches, business district, parks, swimming pool, golf course, nursing home, assisted living facility, library and all around attractiveness. The new two million dollar library was built in 2008 and has had record breaking activity since it opened. There are very few run down buildings or “slums” in our city. We have a new high school and elementary school located in Conrad, with the junior high in a small town nearby. One of the organizations that the city belongs to is Main Street Iowa, and this group is responsible for the recruiting of new businesses and promoting Conrad as a place to live, work, and play. Last year the city won a $10,000 state award for their progressive attitude which was sponsored by a bank from Des Moines, Iowa. All in all, you would have a difficult time finding a better small city to live in and raise a family in. We invite everyone to come visit and see for themselves.

What you are wearing today

August 12th, 2010 admin No comments

So Simple, but equally difficult question. Naturally, other than cloth like shirt and pant what else can be wore? Now coming to the article heading. For each ceremony dress code is fixed. e.g. 3 piece or 4 piece suit for official meetings / functions / wedding ceremony, looser or short and tee shirt for exercise, formal for office and Bermuda / tee shirt for beech / trekking and night suit during night. Today I am wearing looser when I am at home and 3 piece suit for office as 3 important meetings are to be attended. Looser or Bermuda and tee shirts at home I prefer of pure cotton. I always use pure cotton as I like very much and cotton cloth is very comfortable. It gives natural feelings and even absorbs sweats. Ample of designs, variety, color combinations are easily available in cotton outfits with very reasonable rates. So I am proud to be for cotton cloths for day and 3 piece suit for meetings today.

BLT

A club sandwich (Chicken, bacon, salad, etc), ...

Summer time is the only time I can have my absolute favorite sandwich, the “BLT,” aka bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. Right now in my backyard is a veritable jungle of tomato plants, close to six feet tall, and producing their miraculous array of produce. We have yellow tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and a couple of varieties of red tomatoes. They are ripening now, and not only do we have enough to share with neighbors and friends, but we can have the amazing BLT with garden-fresh tomatoes. Store-bought tomatoes are flavorless. A BLT made with them does not have the texture or the flavor of a home-grown tomato in the middle of summer. So, for a couple of months in the summer, I have a BLT for dinner just about every day. Then comes the long fall, winter, and spring of tomato-less life until we plant and then enjoy our tomatoes again.

My busy Sunday in Nevada

August 2nd, 2010 admin No comments

I arose early this morning and began my usual routine by reading for an hour before launching into breakfast and getting ready for work. It is a short day for me in the airline office where I work. My office is in Nevada and my home is in Virginia. I will put a few hours in at the office and then fly home to Virginia later in the day. I will be gone for a week, so I am busy putting things in order. Work is done. I am on the way to the airport where I will fly for 6 hours to reach the east coast. Then drive another two hours to get home. Once I am on the plane I will sit back and read while the rest of my day passes by.

The Book of Ruth

July 30th, 2010 admin No comments

Of course, understanding the customs of the day is very useful to reading this story because the first thing that Ruth does when they reach Naomi’s hometown of Bethlehem is to go out into nearby field and start picking up fallen barley. The poor were allowed to do this at harvest-time so they could have something to eat. Lo and behold, on her first day at work, she meets the owner of the field, Boaz, who has heard all about her loyalty to Naomi. He blesses her saying, “May you be richly rewarded by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge” (Ruth 2:12 NIV). Ruth chose first to place her trust in the God of Israel before she decided to go with Naomi. Through the following days, Ruth has the opportunity to see Boaz, and he always treats her with kindness. One day her mother-in-law makes the bold suggestion that she should not worry about propriety and ask Boaz to marry her. So she dresses up and sneaks into the barn where he’s sleeping in the night, lay down at his feet, and uncovers them. For us this would be an extremely odd way to propose, but in this culture it was seen as normal. When he wakes up, she asks him to spread his garment over her as well, which symbolized that he would protect and care for her as her husband. He accepts her proposal, but tells her to sneak away before dawn so that no one will know she came because they might think badly of her. That morning, Boaz makes the necessary arrangement for their marriage. Ruth is rewarded with a loving and rich husband, and Naomi is rewarded with a beautiful grandson who happens to be the grandfather of King David. What a story!
