“If You Think That These Kids are Having Fun , You Are Wrong “…
Think about the children that moan and groan about getting up for school in the morning. Now, think about this: there are children from around the world that daily risk their lives, just so they can get an education. They walk miles after miles, climb rope bridges and even zip line to get to class, all to do something that countless American students have handed to them on a platter.
This will make waiting at the bus stop look easy.
There used to be a reliable bridge near Batu Busuk village in Sumatra, Indonesia, that children could use to get to school.
When bridges collapse from flooding or age, they must tightrope walk across them like these children are doing from Sanghiang Tanjung village.
The gap they have to traverse is over 30 feet long and they have to tackle this on TOP of a seven mile walk.
There are children in Colombia who have to zip line 430 yards above the ground, just to get to school.
There are countless countries around the world where children are risking their lives every day, just to get an education. These students from the Philippines ride an inflated tube to school over flooded rivers.
Someday, governments and other organizations may help children like these get to school.
But for now, they are left to their own devices to get something they know they so desperately need.
These boys from Vietnam don’t even have flotation devices like the boys in the Philippines. They literally have to swim against currents to get to school.
An education can be life-changing, not only for children in third world countries but for also kids you may know yourself. Never underestimate what one can do.

” Thank Baba For all HIS Blessings and Grace “…
Truly, Sai has been there for us in every path of our life . He has protected us and taken care of us no matter where we are.. He has shown us the light and guided us thru our own heart and our conscious. His Leelas surprise me every single day and still I long to witness them with every breadth I take because I know, its his leelas alone which have assured me that He is not up there but He is always walking right besides His devotees. He knows their pain and sorrows and does everything possible to turn their tears in to smiles. I am sure that even if I Thank him in all my lives to come- still I will not be able to offer my complete gratitude towards him for all his blessings and grace. And regardless of that, I Thank Baba for making me feel His presence in my life..
May the Merciful Sri Sai Baba always shower His grace on us and our families and remove our problems and anxieties by giving us all – strength , goodluck, success and happiness with peace of mind.

Message For the Day…” If Your Tongue slips , You fracture someone’s Faith or Joy”…
|
The tongue is the armour of the heart, it even guards your life. Loud talks, long talk, wild talk, talk full of anger and hate – all these affect your health. They breed anger and hatred in others; they wound, they excite, they enrage, and they estrange. Why is silence said to be golden? The silent person has no enemies, though he or she may not have friends. They have the leisure and the chance to dive within them and examine their own faults and failings. They no more have inclination to seek them in others. If your foot slips, you suffer a fracture; if your tongue slips, you fracture someone’s faith or joy. That fracture can never be set right; that wound will fester forever. Therefore use the tongue with great care. The softer you talk, the less you talk, the more sweetly you talk, the better for you and the world.

Message For The Day…” God is within this World & All the things of the World”
Look at the Mother Nature !!!….It is Simply Amazing !!!
From a distance it’s quite hard to know what you’re seeing here, but as you look closer and closer you’ll see just how amazing mother nature can be.
That’s odd. Looks like some sort of a wave?

Or are those groups of people at a music festival?

The brown wave formations are brown baby King Penguins, that the adults have herded together into groups.
The penguins do this so the chicks can retain their body warmth better in a tighter and more controllable group, as well as allowing the adults to protect them from predators.
Here’s a better aerial view of these incredible wave-like patterns of brown baby penguins herded into their creches.
Andy Rouse / Rex Features
The chicks take between 10 to 13 months to raise, and seeing how they cannot regulate their body temperature very well the parents have to care for them round the clock for the first three weeks. After that initial period they put the chicks into one of these “day care” creches, returning only every two or three days with food for their young.
All these pictures were taken at the shoreline of the southern Atlantic Ocean island of South Georgia, which is a British territory close to the Falklands. It’s one of the main breeding colonies for King Penguins.

What is The Story Behind This Photograph ?
PHOTOGRAPH BY SUBHASISH KARMAKAR …India
Subhasish Karmakar’s painting-like photo has lots of elements that contribute to its interesting composition. What’s going on in the photo and why is it one of his favorites?
Q: What’s the story behind this photo?
A: The young boy in the photograph is my then two-year-old son. In July 2012, we went for a family adventure trip to Lahaul and Spiti Valley, which is in the remote areas of Himachal Pradesh, India. My wife, my daughter, and my son accompanied me.
This photograph was taken on our way to Dhankar Monastry. I was walking back to the car after taking a few photographs of the local people. My two-year-old son suddenly peeped through the car window to call me. The reflection of the surrounding mountains and the cloud and my wife’s shawl hung to protect the sunlight, superimposed with the innocent face, created a very surreal, painting-like impression on the glass. I took three to four shots; this, in my opinion, came out the best.
Q: What do you like to take pictures of and why?
A: The interrelationships between human beings and nature or the environment in which they live have always fascinated me as a person, and this has been the subject of most of my photographs. Nothing gives me more pleasure than capturing human emotions and how those emotions subtly change depending on the environment or the context.

Image of the Day !!!
What a Man did With a Tree Trunk !!!… Mind Blowing !!!
One tree, four years of work and an indescribable amount of talent: that’s what it took to create this incredible masterpiece. A famous Chinese wood carver chopped down a single tree and tirelessly worked on it for over four years to make this piece. Your jaw will hit the floor when you see what he created.
It all started out with a simple tree trunk…
Then Zheng Chunhui, a famous wood carver, spent over four years creating this masterpiece.
The carving is based on the famous Chinese painting “Along the River During the Qingming Festival.” The original artwork was created over 1,000 years ago.
The piece won the Guinness World Record for the longest wooden carving and measures over 40ft (specifically, it is 12.286 meters long, is 3.075 meters tall at it highest point, and is also 2.401 meters wide).
The intricate carvings of daily life in ancient China are so detailed and perfect, they could drop your jaw.
It’s no surprise that this incredible work of art is drawing so much attention. It’s amazing, but not just because it’s so big, but also because it’s so incredibly detailed.
That was 8,760 hours well spent.
