Paw Paws (Paw Paw Bears)

I used to watch these cartoons in my childhood. But as a grew up I forgot most of it. About three years ago I started searching for them. All I could remember was Paw Paw statue had a turtle and eagle in it. Naturally all my google searches were very far far away, as they only revolved around statues turtles and eagles :( From time to time I searched and failed :(

And only when I gave up all hope of finding this cartoon something out of blue happened. I heard the word totem in movie The Inception. I Googled this word to see its meaning and voila the suggested images had pictures of totems :D This made it quite easier when I searched for cartoons with totem :)

Here is link to first episode of this marvelous series :)
Paw Paws (Paw Paw Bears)

La Phir Ik Baar Wohi Bada-o-Jaam

La Phir Ik Baar Wohi Bada-o-Jaam, Ay Saki!
(O Cup-bearer! Give me again that wine of love for Thee)

la phir ik baar wohi bada-o-jaam ay saqi
haath aa jaye mujhe mera maqaam ay saqi

teen so saal se hein hind ke maikhane bund
ub munasib hai tera faiz ho aam ay saqi

meri meenaye ghazal mein thi zara si baqi
shaikh kehta hai ke hai yeh bhi haram ay saqi

sher mardo se howa beshae tehqeeq tahi
reh gaye sufi-o-mulla ke ghulam ay saqi

ishq ki tegh-e-jigardar urali kis ne?
ilm ke haath mein khali hai nayam ay saqi

seena roshan ho to hai soz-o-sukhan ain hayat
hona roshan to sukhan marg-e-dawam ay saqi

tu meri raat ko mehtaab se mehroom na rakh
tere paimane mein hai maahe tamaam ay saqi

la phir ik baar wohi bada-o-jaam ay saqi
haath aa jaye mujhe mera maqaam ay saqi...

--------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
O Cup—bearer! Give me again that wine of love for Thee;
Let me gain the place my soul desires.

My lyrical vein was all but dried up, still
The sheik decrees that, too, should be choked to death.

No trail now blazes in new fields of thought,
But blind slaves of sufies and mullahs survive.

Who snatched away the piercing sword of love?
Knowledge is left with an empty sheath alone.

With a luminous soul the power of song is life;
With a darkened soul that power is eternal death.

A full moon glistens in Thy brimful cup;
Deprive me not of its silver beams at night.

By Allamma Iqbal

Shoe Charger

Concept Shoe Charger

I am thinking of making this device. The plan is to attach a hand press flash light to my shoes. The position of the charger should be to produce minimum hindrance for the walker. My guess is that part of foot between heel and mid of foot should not feel much pressure if this device is attached. Lets see when I get time to do this stuff.

Part 2 of this project would be to use the energy produced to charge mobile devices. Lets see how well this goes :)

B-B-B-Bad... Bad to the bone

Taken from sleepphones.com

On a very fine afternoon (today) I was in my office... feeling all sleepy and not in mood of work at all (the usual)... I am browsing with full concentration and checking facebook religiously :D Well then something very strange happened... Suddenly I heard a strange guitar sound... This sound is very familiar coz its the ringtone of my morning alarm of my mobile... Bad To The Bone by George-Therogood... as a reflex action I searched my mobile to snooze the alarm... while searching I wondered why the hell this alarm set off in afternoon... am I still in bed and dreaming about office :O This cant be right... I don't think about office when I am there... How come I see my office in my dreams :D

Well this all confusion ended when the music played did not repeat it self as in my ringtone instead it played few more tabs of guitar... hehehehehe I was wearing headphones :D and this was a song in my playlist :D

Focus on your tea :P

The verse at the top of the picture means

"Which then, of the favors of your Lord will you deny?"

And the two chaps are smoking right beneath it :)

Speed

Even tough this guy don't have proper vehicle to ride... but his passion for speed is nothing less than Michael Schumacher :)

Interestingly the phrase at the back of rikshaw mean "May God's protection be with you" :)

Natural Selection and Petrol Crisis

Post Petrol Evolution

If Darwin was right that our race has evolved from apes. Then in few years time people will have wings :) Coz the rate at which we are burning fuel in stupid wars is quite high. In few years time it will be impossible for people to have any other transportation mechanism :( So the human race will evolve and will grow wings :P

It will be fun having wings. People will fly like bird. Unless some anti aircraft gun takes them down :P
