Once in a century date

/ Swati Atul / 10 Comments

Wednesday, is one of those magical dates that we’re not going to see again for a while.

Yes, that day is — Say it with us: 12/12/12!

12/12/12 is also the last of the repeating dates until January 1, 2101.

December, 12, 2012 will be the last date of its kind – when all three numerical in a date are the same – for the next 88 years.

The next time this will happen is on January 1, 2101, or 01-01-01.

All three similar numerical dates like 12-12-12 will come after 88 years

According to a survey, approximately 7,500 brides will tie the knot on December 12, 2012.

What i think Just make sure you are marrying for the right reasons and that you honor the vows you are making. The date itself means very little in comparison.

Anyways  I’m going to bring donuts to work tomorrow. 12-12-12 is as good a day to celebrate, and have donuts…..as you can get. 🙂

Gone Bye

A wise man once sat in the audience & cracked a joke.

All laughed like crazy. After a moment he cracked the same joke again and a little less people laughed this time.
He cracked the same joke again & again, when there was no laughter in the crowd,
he smiled and said,

“When u can’t laugh on the same joke again & again, then why do u keep crying over the same thing over and over again”
‘Learn to move on’…
Cheers 🙂

Children of WAR

/ Swati Atul / 1 Comment

Children are the biggest victims of the war in Afghanistan. A nation ravaged by 30 years of war and it is in these extreme conditions that children’s basic right to life and development is seriously compromised. The children there are at risk of violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect. More than 1.6 million children are left orphaned in Afghanistan mainly due to conflict, depriving these children of family life. In the war, not only do children die, they can also be recruited and used to fight in armed forces and groups.
