Having a Shot at...

Some days back we all got the news that a defunct US satellite is about to crash back onto our earth.

Needless to say, there is always a risk associated with such events - in case the satellite falls over a populated area, it will be catastrophic!!

But now the US govt. will be making an effort to shoot down the satellite while in orbit.
It will cost aroung 60 million $ - but it is worth the cost!!.


And the machines who will be doing it all!!

China

The Chinese celebrated the Chinese New Year on 7th Feb, 2008.

Every blogger profile mentions his Zodiac Year.

And for bloggers born in this Chinese Year will have their Zodiac Year as - The Year of the Rat.


When you think of China, you always think about Beijing.

China's capital , Beijing, will be hosting the Olympics this year between 8th August to 24th August.

And with Beijing being mentioned, how can Shanghai be far behind.

Shanghai, located on the east coast, is that largest Chinese city and the nation's commercial capital.


And all of us have heard about Chinese Proverbs.

It's Never Too Late

Stunned by this pic??

Well, think about the people who have gone through it...

The young baby, only 9 months old, being thrown down a building on fire , for his safety....

His uncle, who took the decision to do so, even when baby's parents were against it...

His parents, who must have seen him in the air...

And the policeman, who must have had some very anxious moments before he caught the boy...

Split second decision saved the baby's life...

This image will reinforce the saying- It's never too late!!!
