Benjamin Franklin was 26 when he wrote Poor Richard's Almanac
Charles Dickens was 25 when he wrote Oliver twist
McCormic was 23 when he invented the reaper

But there is also the opposite side of the story

Emmanuel Kant was 74 when he wrote his deepest philosophical works
Verdi was 84 when he composed the Ave Maria
Goethe was 80 when he completed Faust
Tennyson was 80 when he wrote Crossing the Bar
Sculptor Michaelangelo completed his greatest work at 87

mumbai darshan

2008-03-29T10:52:00.000-07:00

hi guys

welcome to my next travalogue..

this time i got my chance to go little further outside of Kerala to Mumbai ,
the capital city of Maharashtra.

I was accompanied by my parents to see my sister, brother in law and dearest nephew who lives in Thane

i got my chance to see this great city after a long time, i had come here 15 years ago. It was fantastic to see the place again.

Mumbai Darshan is a best feature offered by the tourism department and they show the places to visit in mumbai. They take you around mumbai in a bus and you get to see the tourist destinations in mumbai.

The first place that i saw through mumbai darshan was the 4D cinema shown at Atria Mall which was a great experience in which they spray water, move the chairs and ofcourse we need to wear the special specs

they went through many places Gate way of India, Old and New taj,an aquarium, Science and technology park, bse stock exchange

it was great getting to see these places.

Check out some of the photos that i uploaded

keywords to be successful in life

2008-03-23T09:20:00.000-07:00

Hi guys,

today i am bit in philosophical mood so i am elaborating on the keywords to success which you can see at the right side of my blog

So i am repeating that for you again..and also elaborating that for you

A MEDIUM AMOUNT OF INTELLIGENCE
A BIT OF IMAGINATION
SELF CONFIDENCE
FAILURE

of these four points can you guess which is the main keyword..it is

"FAILURE"

to be really successful you must face failure
you must EXPERIENCE IT, FACE IT, TASTE IT, SUFFER IT.
only then you can shine.....

I know ..i know the question that you have in your mind..

why failure ? isn't that the question that you have in mind

so here is the answer for that

for once you taste failure, you have no fear.
you can take risks more easily.
then you dont want to snuggle in your comfort zone anymore --- you are ready to fly
and success is about flying, NOT snuggling

so here is the secret
***** NEVER BE AFRAID OF FAILURE ******

if it has come your way,it means
"I WANT TO GIVE YOU A REAL SHOT AT BEING SUCCESSFUL LATER"

so keep these keywords in your mind

and hope this will help you in some way

bye 4 now

travelogue about trip to thriparappu padmanabhapuram palace and kanyakumari

2007-11-22T08:36:00.000-08:00

i got a chance to go to kanyakumari.though i have went there many times it was all
long back.on the way to kanyakumari we have the thriparappu waterfall and also the
magnificient Padmanabhapuram palace. It was really great to see these places after a
long time.

it was a rainy season but thank God that day the sky did not open up very hard.
at thiraparappu it was more green because of the rain and so it was more picturesque
and there we got a unique picture of a dog standing on top of the waterfall
check it out

then our next destination was the padmanabhapuram palace.No words can describe this
magnificent palace. It looks new and different each i pay a visit. it shows the able
artists who build this grand structure and also shows the power of the king. One thing
that stuck my mind was that people who visits these palace make writings on the walls
showing disrespect to our heritage. we must never encourage that. to know more about the palace check the below link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padmanabhapuram_Palace

our final destination was kanyakumari and it was as beautiful as ever. The new thing
that was there in kanyakumari that i never saw before was the thiru valluvar statue
It was right beside the swami Vivekananda rock memorial. It was great too and walls on
the way to the top of the statue was written with excerpts from valluvar's poetry

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Thiruvalluvar

phew after these we were all really tired. but it was great visiting these places
after such a long time. but it was real fun with the get together and need to make
such trips often to refresh ourself during one's hectic work schedule

You can check out the photos that i uploaded in flickr
http://www.flickr.com/photos/anoopogeorge/sets/72157604216351419/
hope you enjoyed my travelogue

until next time
