This article was published on Hindu Newspaper website - They are vanishing fast.....they are crying for help !
I want to live and dream.
I want to walk on a beach
Feel the sand and the waves.
Just like you do.
I want my mother to hug me
And say "I love you".
I want to be a fairy
At a fancy dress party.
I want you to take photographs of me
When one of my wings is broken.
I want to fight with my friends
And play with them again.
I want to sit with Papa
On a huge giant wheel.
Just like you do.
I want to breath
I want fly
Let me...let me just live
Because that's what even you do !

Dyeing Dogs In China
Saw this on CNN website - Dogs are being dyed to look like other animals !! And I am certainly not amused. I feel it is very cruel. This is being done for people's pure entertainment. HOW CRUEL !

US Open (Tennis) 2010
US Open (Tennis) 2010 is beginning from tomorrow (30th Aug.) at Flushing Meadows, New York City, USA. Defending men's champion Juan Martin del Potro and women's defending champion Kim Clijsters would not be playing due to injuries. My favourite player, Roger Federer would be playing his first round match against Brain Dabul of Argentina.
Roger Federer's recent performances at French Open 2010 & Wimbeldon Open 2010 have been far from satisfactory. He bowed out from both the abovementioned tournaments at quarter-final stage. Many experts have come to believe that this might be the decline of his career. He is at present ranked number 2.
Being an ardent fan of FedEx (as he is fondly called by his fans across the world) I believe he is merely going through a bad phase, like any player does. I also believe that at his age (29), he is facing newcomers, who are fresh and have more aggressive style of playing. These might be the reasons for his not-upto-the mark-performances, I still believe that we have got one the finest player of all times. I will be supporting him this time too. ALL THE BEST.

Did You Facebook Today?
'Hello. This is Claudia.'
'Hi. This is Larry.'
'Hey! Nice to hear your voice. So how are you?'
'I am fine. So how have you been? Haven't heard from you in a couple of days.'
'I am doing good, Larry. Just generally busy with work.So, how are you?'
'I am fine too. By the way, did you read Anju's Facebook status?'
'No, I did not. Why, what happened?'
'You didn't?'
'No.'
'So, you don't know.'
'Larry, I don't know what?'
'Claudia, when did you last facebook?'
'Hmm...it has been three days, I guess.'
'Three days?! Don't you facebook everyday?'
'No. I told you, I have been busy with work lately.'
'OK. So, what were you doing right now? You are at home.'
'I was reading a book when you called. But tell me what happened.'
'You were reading a book but you don't get time to facebook...interesting. I facebook everyday. In fact, I am facebooking right now while talking to you.'
'Larry, please tell me. I just remembered, I spoke with Anju day-before yesterday, but she didn't tell me anything.'
'Claudia, certain things can't be told over the phone. You need to check your Facebook. I am putting down the phone. Will speak with you later. Bye.'
'Larry, wait. Hello?? Larry?'
.....................................................................
'Hi Larry.'
'Hi,Anju. Hmmm...I just spoke with Claudi right now and she says she hasn't yet checked her Facebook.'
'I thought so. Didn't get any comments from her. Why is she doing this to me?!'
'She said she has been busy with work lately, so didn't get time to facebook.'
'Ya sure! As if we don't work. You work so hard and so do my other friends but they always facebook, especially when there is a status like mine on Facebook.'
'I am sorry.'
'It's alright. See, I got my 15th comment.'
'Oh yes. And that's one from Vinay.'
'OK, thanks for calling anyways. See, you on Facebook. Bye, Larry.'
'Bye.'
................................................................
Claudia logs on to her Facebook account to check Anju's status. She sees - "My Boyfriend Brokeup With Me ! :( :( :( " And she saw there were already fifteen comments on her status and Anju had updated her status three days ago. Claudia wondered why hadn't Anju told her when they last spoke two days ago. Claudia decides to call Anju. 'Hi. I am sorry for what happened. I just saw your status.'
'It has been three days ! And you saw my status today?!'
'I am really sorry. But, we did speak over the phone day-before yesterday...you never told me anything.'
'That's not the kind of thing you discuss over the phone. And anyways, on Facebook everybody comes to know at the same time. I don't have to call every friend of mine personally.'
'I said I am sorry.'
'I don't have the time to speak with you. I am busy facebooking. Bye.'
Anju puts down the phone. Claudia is puzzled by Anju's behaviour. She goes to the kitchen, prepares some tea and sits in front of her laptop only to discover Anju's new Facebook status - "Some People Are Just So Rude And Unsympathetic". Her friends had already started commenting on her new status.
