			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-137" style="margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 12px; margin-right: 12px;" title="tree" src="http://pixelmagic.in/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/tree.jpg" alt="tree" width="250" height="230" />Life and Death is the two sides of the same coin and if we can accept this truth of life I believe we shall be closer to the conscience within us. I define my conscience as <em>My Lord</em> within me.</p>
<p>With birth, it’s the cry of the baby that the people around yearn to hear while when we breathe our last what is it that we look out for?</p>
<p>In this odyssey of life, from that moment of life to the last moment of our living, we work. We work and experiment to learn, to know and to experience life’s multi faceted extravaganza. We chase dreams only for ourselves. We earn money only to live better-To satiate our material pleasure, to live a better living but do we know what we want in our life or how much we want.</p>
<p>In the whole life, that our Lord has given us, it is up to you how you will channelize it for greater fulfillment. But, you must know where the fulfillment lies. Ask yourself everyday and try to find out yourself what is it that your heart responds to and your mind believes in.</p>
<p>Chase your Dream for sure but chase it with meanings that you believe in and not only material happiness. For if its only for the material pleasure, then soon you will realize that you are fatigued and weak to enjoy the beauty of life. Instead, earn money to bring a smile in a forlorn face, work to feed another mouth who is hungrier than you, walk a mile more to outstretch your arms for the ones who can never stand in their own feet and embrace every living on this planet with Love and Care.</p>
<p>I am sure that towards the end of your journey you will find greater sense of purpose in living your life.</p>
<p>And, when you close your eyes and breathe your last, there will be a smile in your face that will leave the people crying and its only then the world realizes that you did touch their lives in one way or other.</p>
<p>Let the new mantra of life be : <strong><em>Touch life</em></strong> in as many ways as you can.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-62" style="margin-top: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 12px; margin-right: 12px;" title="saurav" src="http://pixelmagic.in/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/saurav.jpg" alt="saurav" width="206" height="240" /> It has just been 8 months that the Prince of Kolkata, our very popular and beloved dada-Sourav Ganguly retired from international cricket and 8th of July being his 37th birthday, the news of Sourav Ganguly as a BCCI President is not a mere birthday wish.</p>
<p>This time, it is the turn of East Zone to select the top position of BCCI, marking an end of an era of Jagmohan Dalmiya. Sourav is happy to begin a new innings with a difference but he was quite calm and reticent in his approach. He said that he was in no hurry and that he is keen in doing some good work in the domain of cricket administration and in particular for Bengal cricket, if given the opportunity.</p>
<p>According to the BCCI policy of rotation, CAB President can become the BCCI President in next 5 years that is in 2014.</p>
<p>So, the stylish, bespectacled left-hander will take on his one time mentor Jagmohan Dalmiya to contest the CAB presidential election.</p>
<p>So, all the best to one time cricketing on-field legend for an off-field innings</p>

<p>Its almost 1.6 million registrations for only 17500 tickets for the memorial ceremony.</p>
<p>To be a part of the MJ’s memorial service, you simply cannot queue without a valid ticket. So out of these whopping 1.6 million registrations, if you are lucky your name will definitely show up in the list. One will be intimated through the e-mail facility.</p>
<p>As you refresh your inbox and get lucky then an unique code will be sent as a communication and will direct you to visit the designated center to collect the tickets.</p>
<p>Each one will receive two tickets, either for the memorial service at Staples center or the simulcast at the nearby Nokia Theater.</p>
<p>Jackson family is still tightlipped about the private funeral ceremony before the massive public memorial.</p>
<p>So stay tuned and watch the live streaming of the memorial service of Michael Jackson at:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-69" style="margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-left: 12px; margin-right: 12px;" title="kambakht-ishq" src="http://pixelmagic.in/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/kambakht-ishq.jpg" alt="kambakht-ishq" width="194" height="256" />When you hear that it’s the exotic location, big Hollywood names with mega star casts and a woman with a bikini, you can be rest assured that there is no plot or story. It’s the same cliché where the initial hatred is the seed of ballistic love in the end.</p>
<p>The film is shot in Hollywood and the center stage of the movie is Kareena and her size zero body. However the film unfolds showing Akshay Kumar as a stuntman in Hollywood. He lives life with fun and women and his dictionary of living there is no place for love and marriage. Akshay as Viraj meets Kareena as Simrita in Viraj’s brother marriage. It is here that the war of words between Viraj and Simrita begins.</p>
<p>As in most Hindi masala movies you have the hero and the heroine bumping into each other for more than any reasons. As all story goes, even in <em>Kambakht Ishq</em> the hatred between two increases manifold. Simrita is a doctor and she operates Viraj and it s a watch that is left inside the stomach of Viraj (read accidentally). What else do you require for the love to bloom?</p>
<p>However <em>Kambakht Ishq</em> is a lavish production of Bollywood and people will definitely flock in to theaters to catch a glimpse of Hollywood heartthrob Sylvester Stallone in a Hindi masala movie. Stallone definitely commanded a terrific screen presence. Akshay Kumar, however was simply great in his award acceptance speech and Kareena simply cannot be hotter than in <em>Kambakht Ishq</em>. Her scene of the seductive song <em>Bebo main bebo, dil mera le lo</em> can only maker her real life hero Saif Ali Khan go green with envy and red with anger. So watch out with caution!</p>
<p>Besides, this no plot movie, <em>Kambakht Ishq</em> is shameful (read painful as well) to watch with family. The lunatic moments in the film could not be so deftly handled by debutant director Sabbir Khan.</p>
<p>So, as the hype of <em>Kambakht Ishq</em> gets settled, crowds too will vanish in thin air.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-72" style="margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-left: 12px; margin-right: 12px;" title="yemeni_plane" src="http://pixelmagic.in/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/yemeni_plane.jpg" alt="yemeni_plane" width="239" height="170" />With 150 people on board a Yemeni airplane crashed into the Indian Ocean. Reports indicate that there is simply no hope of any survivors. This Airbus 310 was a connecting flight from Paris and is believed to be not very far from Moroni.  The plane crashed near the Comoron archipelago that is about only 300 kms to the northwest of Madagascar. Once again it is believed that rough weather caused this crash. The accident happened in the wee hours of Tuesday.</p>
<p>Comoros is a group of three small islands, Anjouan, Grande Comore and Moheli in the Mozambique Channel.</p>
<p>Air disasters are striking hard these days. It was in this same month that Air France plane A320 crashed into the Atlantic on its flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. Here again, it was turbulent weather condition that claimed lives of all 228 people on board.</p>
<p>Again it was only in the month of February that a passenger plane crashed in New York and claimed lives of 49 people on board.</p>
<p>Rescue operation for the Yemeni air crash is on.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-163" title="dreams" src="http://pixelmagic.in/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dreams.jpg" alt="dreams" width="116" height="116" />From poets to artists, from fairy tale stories to scientific theories, there has been varied interpretation, myths and understanding surrounding dreams. Since ancient times, Sigmund Frued’s book Interpretation of Dreams to modern day experiment have made several attempts to question what goes on within our mind when we are sleeping.</p>
<p>Dream is an experience; an involuntary action that occurs during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage of our sleep that can last from few seconds to hours. Dreams do occur in other stages of sleep too but then that is less memorable. Dreams reflect a world of imagery in our subconscious state of living and link our emotion to the deepest core secrets of our heart and mind.</p>
<p>Many theories suggest that by understanding your dreams you get a better insight on your life’s perspective. So, the imperative question that comes in our mind is…</p>
<p>What causes Dreams?<br />
According to the Freudian school of thought dreams result from the subconscious thoughts while the other extreme school explains dreams as some noise in our neurons that has no special meaning.</p>
<p>Whatever be it Dreams are powerful and real. They can really help you unlock the hidden talents within you. There are several types of dreams and they are categorized into different segments based on factors such as content, occurrence and many more.</p>
<p>Repetitive Dreams: Dreams that keep on repeating themselves since a young age. This dream implies that there is a message within it and one needs to unlock to know the content. Psychoanalyst helps to solve this situation, as there might be some dark secrets of life and one simply pushes it to the unconscious state.</p>
<p>Message dreams: Here individuals peep into the pool of wisdom and tries to understand the message of his unconscious state. These dreams are like stories and always have something to unravel. Message dreams are sometimes repetitive dreams too.</p>
<p>Lucid Dream: Lucid dream is one in which you have a direct control because you are aware that you are dreaming. In this kind of dream you can also decide as what to dream. In a lucid dream, the dreamers wake themselves up once they realize that it was only a dream. An active participation by the dreamer occurs in this kind of dream.</p>
<p>And finally it is the negative dreams that are termed nightmares.</p>
<p>Other classification of dreams includes Astral dreams, Aspirational dreams and Release dreams based on their content.</p>
