Traveling alone isn't fun

Can you imagine having to travel alone with no one to give you company all your way to which ever destination you're going? It's not a funny picture.

I mean, a few hours trip is alright to go alone. But it's always better to have a friend or two around to give company.

What are you really afraid of?

Everybody is afraid of one thing or another. When people say they're not really afraid of anything. They're obviously hiding something.

Conventional scare crows and ghosts apart anything from like losing a friend, credit rating, job or even a pet could be the most scariest thoughts for people. The point is that being scared and feeling insecure is in the nature of human beings. It's not easy to run away from this fact.

While people can make emphatic attempts at trying to 'hide' these type of emotions they're still there. Best thing one could do is to minimize the factors that could arouse such type of thoughts and events resulting in being a scare problem. Like indulging in positive activities both beneficial to health of body and soul.

Travis Pastrana makes the New Year Eve Jump

That's a pretty scary jump. He did it with ease.



The new World's Tallest Building

Burj Dubai has been identified as the new tallest building in the world which is 828 metres (2717ft) at the moment. This makes the building twice the height of Empire State Building.

At the opening ceremony, thousands of residents and tourists crowded around the base of the half-mile tall tower, which is at least 160 storeys high.

Dubai's ruler unveiled a plaque, kicking off inaugural festivities.



They included traditional Gulf Arab dance performances and skydivers with parachutes emblazoned with the colours of the UAE flag.

Another one by her for Iyaz - Replay. I think this one is better.



Would you want to travel in time?

I really don't think I would want to travel back in time to change something I've done so that it will change the present. Simply because I'm not sure about others but the mistakes I've made in the past helped me learn a few very good lessons. Which is why I am what I am today. I appreciate those mistakes not because I made them, because I learned from them and changed my behaviour in future.

I really wouldn't care about traveling to the future to see where I am. It will kill the enthusiasm of 'not knowing' what will happen and the 'hope' for what I would want. Plus, I won't be able to enjoy my present, what I'm currently experiencing.

I like to savor my experiences and to enjoy them as I take them which is the way it should be and is actually in the real life at the moment.

I don't like movies with subtitles!

Having text floating around just at the bottom of the screen is simply annoying. It distracts you from enjoying the actual scene making you read the text that been written on the screen.

I suppose it's just simple human nature that makes you do that. Text floating around consistently in the same colours just has to be read. Mind keeps on concentrating on it. With that, you lose the fun of actually experiencing the movie as it happens. One time you're looking at the subtitles later you're looking at the actors faces which call all get confusing and slightly frustrating too.

I would always prefer watching movies without subtitles, especially when I can understand the language pretty easily.
