Blink, blink, blink!


I had a little dolly
That went
Blink, blink, and blink

She had chubby cheeks
Two blue, blue eyes
When I shook her a little
She went
Blink, blink, and blink,

She had a small cute chain
On her back behind her mane,
When I pulled that cute chain
She said
“Blink, blink, and blink”.

The movie for children will be in the VFX medium, using computer-generated special effects.

The VFX medium uses computer-generated effects that give movies a fantasy-like feel. The best example of a VFX movie is Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park, where computers made the dragons fly.

And Shah Rukh said he was planning the movie under his home banner, Red Chillies Productions. The new venture - to be directed by Anubhav Sinha - had a budget of $25 million (almost Rs.1 billion), making it the most expensive Bollywood movie to date.

It will be a movie featuring a lot of children who wish for bad things, but get a shocking reality check when they come true.

"We are dedicating the next eight or nine months to taking the best technicians from around the world and asking them to help us make the best VFX film India has ever made. It will be madcap, over the top. I want it to be as beautiful as Spider-Man in terms of effects," Shah Rukh Khan told Variety.

Visual effects (or 'VFX' for short) is the term given in which images or film frames are created and manipulated for film and video. Visual effects usually involve the integration of live-action footage with computer generated imagery or other elements (such as pyrotechnics or model work) in order to create environments or scenarios which look realistic, but would be dangerous, costly, or simply impossible to capture on film.

They have become increasingly common in big-budget films, and have also recently become accessible to the amateur filmmaker with the introduction of affordable animation and compositing software.

Warren Buffet, the second richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity.

Warren Buffett was only six years old, when he purchased 6-packs of Coca Cola from his grandfather's grocery store for twenty five cents and resold each of the bottles for a nickel, pocketing a five cent profit. While other children his age were playing hopscotch and jacks, Warren was making money. Five years later, Buffett took his step into the world of high finance.

At eleven years old, he purchased three shares of Cities Service Preferred at $38 per share for both himself and his older sister, Doris. Shortly after buying the stock, it fell to just over $27 per share. A frightened but resilient Warren held his shares until they rebounded to $40. He promptly sold them - a mistake he would soon come to regret. Cities Service shot up to $200. The experience taught him one of the basic lessons of investing: Patience is a virtue.

He bought a small farm aged 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.

He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.

He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.

He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.

He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His pass time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch TV.

Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.

His advice to young people:

'Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself and Remember :

A. Money doesn't create man; it is the man who created money.

B. Live your life as simple as you are.

C. Don't do what others say, just listen to them, but do what you feel good.

D. Don't go for a brand name; just wear those things in which you feel comfortable.

E. Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on those who really are in need.

F. After all it's your life so why give the chance to others to rule your life.'

You can be happy forever and forever.....

1. Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age, weight, and height. Let the doctors worry about them.. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)

3. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things of life

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with him or her!

6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is our self.

7. LIVE while you are alive. Enjoy your life. Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.


8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it.If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.




9. Don't feel guilty and go for guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is


10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

Are you afraid of dark?



Whenever you are afraid of something, you must first ask your self 'Why you are afraid?' Are you afraid because you are not sure of its outcome? or are you afraid because you see others are afraid too and you are just aping their reaction?

Many children are afraid of dark and more than 95% of everything you are afraid of has never really happened. Sometimes you are afraid of something just because your friend is afraid too. You actually have no real reason to be afraid.

So let us become aware of what is fear and how we can overcome the fear of fear.

Many times we are afraid because we are ignorant. Fear is actually a protector. You want to avoid the situation of which you have no knowledge about. Fear is actually a message, not a weakness.

But we must face the fear and try to understand it. If you have confidence in your self then you will not be afraid of anything.

Courage is just an initiative away from fear. Take a step forward in spite of your fear.

Conquer fear fearlessly because people who are brave are afraid of nothing.
