Bring forth your best self

'Think about the good times my friend, Think not of the deaths, the pains, of the terrors. A new day has started to form, On the horizon, we can see new light, sparks, No one will forget the stars in our eyes, the nights we lit, No one will take away our glory. Shine, dear friend, or foe, with the goodness in you, Shine out the renewed hope and bless you being. A new way has been created for you.'

'Uh oh! I've used the P word again. The summer is here. A French type ever-changing cloudy summer. But it's here. There are bees and poppies and picnicking people everywhere. But then it hails and rains and all three of the above disappear. I've tried to be a part of it but I have been tied down by my study project. For a degree which I'm not sure I'll ever put to use. Somedays I wish I was just'

'I'm unemployed at the moment. Well I wasn't supposed to be. I'm having a swell time. More on that later.  Thus, with all this free time on my hands, I decided why not do something that I'm passionate about. Reading! and why not get others involved too? With the help of Facebook, we've taken a small initiative to (re)instill the love of reading among people. We're going to read handpicked'

'It's the Barbary Macaque! During WWII, there was a hue and cry when the population of the macaque was reduced to only 7 individuals! Winston Churchill, ordered that more macaques be brought in from Africa IMMEDIATELY. You know why? Legend has it that if the barbary macaques disappear from the island, Gibraltar will no longer remain a British Territory and Spain will rightfully take over.'

Author : The Bohemian Teacher      Blog : The Bohemian Teacher      Date : 5/10/2012 11:23:00 AM

'We live in very confusing times. But Nature somehow tells us that simplicity is the key. We need to look for it. I'm glad Spring has come.

'These past two weeks were spent doing nothing. I've felt like a crêpe, flat with no emotion, no motivation to write, study or do something creative. All thanks to this person. Meet Mohammed Merah, a 23 year old French kid who turned into a jihadist and went on a killing spree in the south of France. What shocked the world was the nature of the crimes.

'I met this cat while I was waiting for my bus. He was just so adorable and coy. I love cats, they are so special. My grandma has a saying "Beware of people who dislike cats, they used to be rats in a previous life." :D It's easy to like dogs, but it takes a special someone to like cats! I know this is rude to say but people who hate cats tend to bore me. A lot. This cutie was adorable! He had'

Incredible India: The Spice Trail

French students have a zest for discovering new cultures. The thing I love most about living in France is that you will have an audience for anything you want to share. India is of course a victim of many'
