Hello lovely people! Sorry I've been absent for the last few days. I want to thank all of you for visiting and sending me such wonderful messages! My following has gone up significantly as soon as I left facebook! hmmm...
Well, I have so much to share, and I'm sure you are limited to how many words you're going to read, but if you can, bear with me!
Last few nights were so amazing I can't even tell you! Even though the peak of the meteor shower is over, I saw amazing, gigantic meteorites flying across the sky every night! I cant describe the feeling, I think it was more than a dozen or so, within the time frame of about 20min or so each night.
Today performed at Sawan Mela, great crowd and weather was just perfect. Other performers did a wonderful job so enjoyed my day. And now as I am prepared for another light show in the sky (I guess I've gotten a bit overconfident now that I've seen so many) it's cloudy :( But guess what.. Lightning show!
Oh the world is so beautiful, how lucky we are. Anyhow I will leave the rest until later.
Sweet Dreams :)

Warm summer night, soft raindrops sprinkling around you like glitter falling from the sky

Perseid Meteor Shower 2012

My updates
What an amazing, fantastic and beautiful world we live in! Watched a couple of hours of the meteor shower. Mind you I didn't have to leave my house, our alley way in the back is a perfect viewing spot, no trees in the way and completely dark. My mum, brother and I, and our kitty Saaya who hates being alone, lay on the ground over a blanket and lots of pillows, looked up and saw a fantastic show of bright meteors flying across the sky. Midnight to 2am, although 2am to dawn is the best viewing time. We saw almost 1 every 6-7 minutes. It was just magical. That being said I have to work tomorrow so goodnight to all, and if you do get a chance, check out the meteor shower tomorrow night, I will be up most of the night as I have a late workday on Monday. It's worth watching and comes only once a year... And please take a moment to reflect. Life is beautiful, given all the adversities we face, we still have so much more than many people in this world. Be thankful.

poetry
They quietly embrace the parched earth;
Those deceiving tears from the skies.
They feign to rapture wounded souls,
But they only veil weeping eyes

Couple of side notes - firstly, I pay no attention to grammar here, I type quick and don't bother with the odd punctuation mark or writing a full word, so I apologize - the days of proper English are went anyways. :P hah
And secondly, when I mention the meteor shower, I do mean the peak times are this weekend, however you can view it days before and after the peak days! Look for Perseus!

If people could hear the five seconds after we hit "end" on a call, we would all have no friends
Hello Wonderful People!
Time to plug in, use a little more creativity and imagination, get those synapses working - learn more.I suppose this is somewhat of an online journal. I'll share as I please, perhaps look back one day and laugh, or have a 'what was I thinking' moment.
Anyhow here's a quick update
We had a lovely thunderstorm the other day, lasted most of the evening and we all sat outside and watched, ran into the pouring rain a few times, acted an age we wish we could go back to. Poor Kitty though, he ran behind the sofa every time there was thunder. The pictures by the way are not of the actual storm, haha, I just like them!...And Coming up: METEOR SHOWER! THIS WEEKEND! ooo I'm so excited, the biggest meteor shower of the year. Fingers crossed for clear skies.
Umm...that's all. Haha, have a lovely day!

It's been a long long time! Sorry I've been away, work is life and life is work these days but I promise to make more time :D. Exciting Sky News! The Delta Aquarids followed by my favorite---Perseids!!
The Delta Aquarids ramble along steadily in late July and early August every year--- If you are looking for a peak date, try around July 28 and 29.
AND SOON AFTER....
The really big meteor event of any Northern Hemisphere summer is always the Perseid meteor shower. It’s reliable, and rich with meteors that fall in many colors. The Perseids will peak on the mornings – not the evenings – of August 12 and 13 in 2012. These typically fast and bright meteors radiate from a point in the constellation Perseus the Hero. You don’t need to know Perseus to watch the shower because the meteors appear in all parts of the sky. The Perseids are considered by many people to be the year’s best shower, and often peak at 50 or more meteors per hour in a dark sky. Starting at mid to late evening on the nights of August 11/12 and 12/13, watch for the Perseid meteors to streak across this short summer night from late night until dawn, with only a little interference from the waning crescent moon.

It's almost that time again. Coming up soon are the Lyrids. These swift and bright meteors often produce luminous trains of dust that can be observed for sevral seconds. April 21-22, I'll keep you posted.
The universe is vast, astonishing and frankly a little terrifying..the earth is but a spec in this unmeasurable macrocosm.
Enjoy these interesting facts:
There are bends and curves in the sky?
As Einstein postulated, matter bends space, the way a heavy weight in a bed will warp the mattress. Light traveling though empty space will move in a straight line, but if matter is warping space, light will travel along the bent space as well. Imagine light from a distant galaxy is on its way to us. But between this galaxy and us is some large mass, like a clump of dark matter. The light from the galaxy will bend around the matter, and when it gets to us it will be slightly distorted, just as if the light has passed through a lens. This process, in fact, is called gravitational lensing
SuperFluid Water? What how?Astronomers have discovered an extremely hot, steamy world with far more water than Earth, which they are calling a completely new type of planet.The high temperatures and high pressures would form exotic materials like 'hot ice' or 'superfluid water', substances that are completely alien to our everyday experience," said Zachory Berta, the lead author of the study, in a statement.
New planet discovered to be most similar to earth! 2011
New planet discovery excites scientists: the discovery of a new planet 600 light years away with roughly the right temperature for plant and animal habitation is causing a buzz in the science community. Though much larger than Earth, scientists haven't ruled out the possibility of life being discovered.
And lastly....one of the scariest and fascinating things out there for me....the black hole.... This link is a must must must read!!! http://www.crystalinks.com/black_holes.html
Catch you all later !
