Do you want to marry the girl you love?

One of the interesting characteristics of humans is to “look for more”. They are never satisfied, in other words, greed is one of the major problems plaguing the mankind. The below mentioned story would give a good idea of how we long for more and end with less.

A student asks a teacher, “What is love?”The teacher said, “in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back.

But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back o pick.”

The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big wheat, but he wonders….may be there is a bigger one later.

Then he saw another bigger one… But may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him.

Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he start to realize that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he know he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.

So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.

The teacher told him, “…this is love… You keep looking for a better one, but when later you realize, you have already miss the person….”

*”What is marriage then?” the student asked.

The teacher said, “in order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.”

The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfy, and come back to the teacher.

The teacher asked him, “this time you bring back a corn…. You look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get…. This is marriage.”

The sacrifice less ordinary

A heart touching story, which is doing the rounds on public communities.

After the Earthquake had subsided, when the rescuers reached the ruins of a young woman’s house, they saw her dead body through the cracks. But her pose was somehow strange that she knelt on her knees like a person was worshiping; her body was leaning forward, and her two hands were supporting by an object. The collapsed house had crashed her back and her head.

With so many difficulties, the leader of the rescuer team put his hand through a narrow gap on the wall to reach the woman’s body. He was hoping that this woman could be still alive. However, the cold and stiff body told him that she had passed away for sure.

He and the rest of the team left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For some reasons, the team leader was driven by a compelling force to go back to the ruin house of the dead woman. Again, he knelt down and used his had through the narrow cracks to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he screamed with excitement,” A child! There is a child! “

The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3 months old little boy wrapped in a flowery blanket under his mother’s dead body. Obviously, the woman had made an ultimate sacrifice for saving her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.

The medical doctor came quickly to exam the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cell phone inside the blanket. There was a text message on the screen. It said,” If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” This cell phone was passing around from one hand to another. Every body that read the message wept. ” If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” Such is the mother’s love for her child!!

God lives through us, that is why, people can make extraordinary sacrifices in the toughest of times.

How to store the expensive lenses of your coveted DSLR

If you have purchased a DSLR and want to experiment with different types of photography, then you need to invest in lenses. The default lens that comes with the body, also known as kit lens, would prove to be inadequate for most of the occasions. Once you invest in an expensive lens, then you need to keep that lens fungus free. Time and again, the lenses are affected by fungi and fogs. While researching, I came across the following tips from a photography veteran–

Fungus is more comfortable when it is Humid, Dark and Warm….
To avoid this we need to get rid of these condition..

Objective
Hence, main Mission is to Get rid of humidity (moisture) for the camera and lenses… (this is priority above warmth and darkness)

Theory

-> we will be keeping the cam/lens in a air tight box so that it is less affected by change in humidity in atmosphere..
-> Will be using silica gel inside the air tight box to remove the moisture inside the box.

Procedure:

1. Get few Air tight boxes to keep the cam and lenses.. the size and number could be choosen as per your requirement

2. Now U need to keep the silica gel inside it. Either get the ready made boxed silica gel like this – http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/242571-REG/Pelican_1500_500_000_Silica_Gel.html

** If not, other option is to put silica gel crystals inside it… This could be done as-
# get Silica gel crystals available in market.. bring some small plastic boxes also. size could be something like 10x7x4 cm (estimation) lets call them silica box…
# Make small holes in this silica box.. this will let the silica gel inside it come in contact with the air inside the air tight box.
# De-saturate the silica gel U brought by heating it (don’t use microwave for it)… then let them get cooled in a non humid condition
# Once cooled, put them inside silica box which got holed

3. Put this silica box and the camera gear inside all the air tight boxes U will be using.. Close the lid well

4. U can put a hygrometer also inside these air tight boxes to check the level of humidity

5. If possible keep these boxes in well lit and cool place

6. De-saturate the silica gel time to time as it get saturated

That’s all.
