Public smoking should be outlawed

I read Selerines’ post I’m not a Fool, What about you? with amusement. I really liked the imagery he evoked in me when he says that a cigarette is a paper rolled with tobacco on which one end is fire and the other end is a fool.

This got me thinking. So it means everyone who takes up smoking is doing it at his own risk (because, basically, they know the effects of cigarette smoking on their health). So the title FOOL fits them. A fool is a person who does something knowing full well that the consequences of his/her actions will be to their detriment.

For a safer Generation, please ponder on these two points:

· There is something I plead with these cigarette companies to do first:
Sirs, there are some words written at the bottom of the cigarette packets. They say:

“Cigarette smoking is harmful to your health.”

But they are written in very small print. Please make the writing a bit bigger so that everyone can see them and decide whether or not they want to proceed with smoking.

· All governments, the world over, should ban smoking in public areas. At least this will reduce the number of people who suffer from lung cancer (and other diseases) due to passive smoking.
At least there are some governments that have taken the cue!
For instance, the government of Holland recently (in the past few days) passed a law forbidding people from smoking in public areas. The law will take effect as from January next year.

Will more governments follow this trend?

2012 - THE END

Recently one rumour/prediction is conquering all the minds. It's none other than the predictions about "End of our World in 2012". I don't know to how much extent this is true. I read the book of Nostradamus, in which he predicted so many things that are going to happen in future. So many incidents are happened as same like his prediction, for example World Trade Center demolition in 2001 which is given in his book as a painting. He predicted that the World War 3 will be the end of this world, in which India is going to conquer every thing. In addition to this, the predictions based on Mayan Calendar is telling that 2012 is the end of our world. But the kind of things that are happening now in this world is just making these things as some what true.

Note : This post is fully based on the Nostradamus book and the articles that i have seen so far in net. I too don't have any idea about these predictions. So Selerines World is not responsible for any thing.

I hope that it will become true. So that it will lead to the evolution of a new war/terrorism/global warming/deforestation/selfish bastards(not all)/selfish bitches(not all) free World.
2012 - Is it the End of our World?

Cricket or Football - Which one you like?

::::: Cricket or Football :::::

Today many kinds of sports are there, which are having some uniqueness in it. Each and every sport is having some specialty and grace among the people. But the Cricket and Football are two giants, which is conquering this whole world through the popularity. From my point of view, compared to cricket football is having more popularity in each and every part of this world. Here in India cricket is more popular than football. I am not having any idea about other countries. You people just tell which you like most and also share the reason why you like it.

Which one you like?

Why are People not ready to go for an HIV/AIDS test?

There are many people I have talked to about Aids but every time I ask them whether they would go for a HIV test of their own volition, they cast me such an icy look that I retract and recoil.

One friend of mine told me something to the effect that he would rather not know his HIV status (and live happily) than know that he has Aids and die of despair and despondency.
Many countries around the world have taken HIV/AIDS very seriously so much so that Voluntary Counselling and Testing clinics are in virtually every town. Home testing kits, too, are easy to come by. But people are still jittery about getting to know their HIV status. Why is this so? Would you be ready to go for a HIV test if asked to do so?

Many people are using the Orkut as the medium to communicate with all of their friends and to form a social network. Through this they can able to communicate with all kinds of people around the world. But now a days Orkut become too strange to all of us. The reason is some people are trying to use the Orkut to make friendship with some one whom they don't know and making use of it in a wrong way. I mean they are using this as the medium to get contact with many people and they are getting involved in crimes like murders, rapes, kidnaps and so on.

Orkut now become too worse because of the things like fake profiles, illegal contacts, murders, etc,. For this i don't know whom i should blame. The Google should take some actions against these type of things or else the public should be aware of these things. But no one is caring about this. Here i will list out some links so please check it out,

The word Love: Does it mean anything to you?

Recently I came across a story that, to me, seemed to leap from the page and shout aloud about the true meaning of love. I have reproduced it here for us to have a rethink about this word that we have taken for granted for a long, long time.There was a young couple, Della and Jim, who were very much in love. Each had one unique possession. Della's hair was her glory. When she let it down it almost served her as her robe. Jim, on the other hand, had a gold watch which had come to him from his father and which was his pride.
It was the day before Christmas, and Della had exactly one dollar eighty seven cents to buy Jim a present. She did the only thing she could do. She went out and sold her hair for twenty dollars. And with the proceeds she bought a platinum fob for Jim's precious watch.

Jim came home at night, when he saw Della's shorn head he stopped as if stupefied. It was not that he did not like it or did not love her anymore. She was lovelier than ever. Slowly he handed her his gift. His gift was a set of expensive tortoise-shell combs and he had sold his gold watch to buy them for her.Each had given the other all he or she had to give. Real love cannot think of any other way to give.

This, I think, is the true meaning of love: Giving your best for the benefit of another person without asking what you'll get out of it.
