Power Outage

-

Two nights ago, there was a power outage in my place for 2 hours. I had so much to do that I couldn't wait for the power to come back. I was sitting in front of my laptop and a big candle next to me doing my school project. I found that so ironic while I was praying for the power to come. Reminded me of the time when people used to read under candle light and write with feather and ink. Here I was in 2007, in front of a computer, doing the same thing. Thank God for the electricity.

I usually keep it full charged. I don't know why, maybe it just a habit I guess.

God bless Thomas Edison! I think electricity to be the single most important invention of all times. I can just imagine "bookworm Daisy" in candle light! Romantic but not terribly practical! Be good Daisy Jan.

In this context 'Quill' seams to be a better word instead of 'Feather' ;-)

I remember once when I was in school, couple of friends suggested skipping the class and going to see a movie. Of course the nerd in me couldn't handle the stress of missing a lecture.

I don't recall the content of that lecture nor do I recall the course but I never forget that I didn't watch 'the Banu Ordibehesht' with my friends.

"Be a rainbow in someone’s cloud"

Photo from here . “God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us- in the dreariest and most dreaded moments- can see a possibility of hope.” Maya Angelou  Some time ago, I had the pleasure of attending one of Maya Angelou’s talks. I was very excited about listing to her. When I bought the ticket, I told to myself that was an early birthday present for me. I went for the talk to be inspired and to figure out why this woman was so successful as she was. Although I never regret going to that talk (since I learned one or two things), the talk was not as inspiring as I hoped. I had heard better talks before. She is not one of those people that I call gifted public speakers. She was witty and smart but didn’t really do it for me. However, what I learned was that I can be a rainbow in someone’s cloud. When she was talking about a rainbow, she was talking about her cripple poor uncle who not only changed her life but had an impact on other kids in the neighbourhood. When she was t...
