Cambridge Layout views
Picture of Sai Baba temple, Cambridge Layout. This is a famous landmark in this layout. Most often when I get into the auto I say this as a point to make it clear to the auto fellas. In spite of this, these auto guys used to take me around and charge for the round about fare.
Thursday is the most important day for SaiBaba temple. Devotees flock to this temple on this day and the whole area wears a busy look.

A Diamond is Forever
Recently I was preparing a trivia question for my team and I came upon this slogan, “ A Diamond is Forever“.
Going deep about this De Beers ad, I found that it was Created by N.W. Ayer & Sons, Inc. and tis slogan has been in use since 1948.
“A Diamond is Forever” stood in time for De Beers, ever since Frances Gerety, a young copywriter, dreamed up the famous line in her sleep. Further this line has etched in our memory with the James Bond flick, “Diamonds are for ever“.
And taking of Diamonds, I’ve a promise to fulfill. I’ve promised my better half a diamond and by the way recession is heading, I fear for the worst.
Ezekiel 25:17 – memorized
When was the last time you memorized a passage or a note or a poem. Well, for me It’s been ages.
Last week, Star movies showed “Pulp Fiction”. In that movie this passage , “ Ezekiel 25:17 ” from Bible was told by the protagonist. The character had memorized it and that part took me think about memorizing this passage.
“ “The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.” “.
I started to repeat it loudly and now I can recite it half way through. Great, but I like to memorize it fully.. Once in a while its good for you to commit something to memory, at least the gray cells will have something to think of …
