International Women's Day ( 8th March )

A woman is always ready to care, love and sacrifice for the other. She plays the character of a mother, daughter, wife, friend, nurturer, guide and partner. Emotional and vulnerable, she displays a wonderful range of emotions from being patient to being extremely courageous in times of crisis.

This video is my tribute to all WOMEN.

Lovely!

Three white tiger cubs , one of the rarest and most admired in nature, were born at the Lisbon Zoo. They are two females and one male children of one couple in the existing park. Contrary to what some people think, the white tigers are not albino, nor a subspecies of tiger. The hair colour is due to a recessive gene, when both parents are carriers of the gene responsible for light-colored coat. Their coloring is more intense in winter, as an adaptation to cold, bringing out blue eyes, pink nose and creamy white with brown lists.

The gestation period of the WhiteTigers is 102 to 112 days. Calves nurse for three to six months and accompany the mother for two to three years, learning the techniques of hunting for its future survival as adults lonely. Because of its white coat that does not give the appropriate camouflage for their survival in the wild, white tigers, were for centuries the target of poaching that led to its extinction in the wild.

St. Valentine

The popular festival of love and romances traces its origin to ancient Roman festival and has not been created by card companies as some people believe it to be. There are various legends associated with the festival along with the belief that birds began to mate from this day. Popularity of the Valentine's Day festival stems from the combined effects of all these legends, beliefs and of course the wish to glorify the unparalleled feeling of love.

Have a sweet St. Valentine's Day!

"Chaga and the Chocolate Factory" is the name of the short story we have studied in the English class, 9th grade.It describes the inhuman conditions young children have to face in the cocoa plantations in the Ivory Coast, West Africa. Children are forced to work long hours, they are beaten and at night they are put in shacks.

The main character of the story is Chaga, a poor ten year old boy , who lives in Mali, Africa, with his six brothers and sisters. On day the Bicycle Man appeared and promised him a new life. He could work in the chocolate factory and earn enough money to buy a bicycle and take care of his family. But Chaga’s dreams and hopes became a nightmare. He was forced to work long hours, carrying heavy bags of cocoa beans, along the plantation.

World Music Day: 1st October

What would life be without music? The world would be a very quiet place. Music is in many ways the fabric of ourlives and the definition of society. Music is the perfect art and our lives would be that much less complete without it.
