Gigi D'Agostino - La passion (Poison).a

Ooh baby Come to me
baby just come to me
don't breake my heart tonight, swinging my soul desire
baby just come to me, be what you wanna be
using your fantasy, I need your soul to see

Baby just come to me, now we can do it right
holding each other tight, now we can make it right
I promise you delight, waiting until day light
I gotta have the key, to open your heart to me
now I can set you free, be what you wanna be
don't wanna live alone, I gotta be so strong
don't wanna be alone,

Baby I love you so, and never let you go
I'm looking for your face, wating for warm embrace
I'm living in the space, I'm following your trace
tell me what's going on, tell me what's going on
I'm gonna make you queen, girl have you ever seen

I never thing you wanna, we won't belong
I can see your face too strong
I sing you wanna think, you'll be wide on mind
don't you ever satisfy my soul in any........
by my side, I'm not laughing, I'm not crying
Don't you go......

Baby I love you so, and never let you go
I'm looking for your face, wating for warm embrace
I'm living in the space, I'm following your trace
tell me what's going on, tell me what's going on
I'm gonna make you queen, girl have you ever seen​

Escape me?
Never—
Beloved!
While I am I, and you are you,
So long as the world contains us both,
Me the loving and you the loth,
While the one eludes, must the other pursue.
My life is a fault at last, I fear:
It seems too much like a fate, indeed!
Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed.
But what if I fail of my purpose here?
It is but to keep the nerves at strain,
To dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall,
And baffled, get up to begin again,—
So the chase takes up one's life, that's all.
While, look but once from your farthest bound,
At me so deep in the dust and dark,
No sooner the old hope drops to ground
Than a new one, straight to the selfsame mark,
I shape me—
Ever
Removed!

Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in.
Time, you thief, who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in.
Say I'm weary, say I'm sad;
Say that health and wealth have missed me;
Say I'm growing old, but add—
Jenny kissed me!

I Love You

I Love You

I was looking in the mirror while she was watching me; I waved to her but shied to say "I LOVE YOU…"

We were at school prom; she was looking so pretty, she smiled, so did I. but shied to say "I LOVE YOU…"

She was sitting on a bench alone inviting me to sit beside her. I sat but shied to say "I LOVE YOU…"
It was a party on campus and we danced together but I shied to say "I LOVE YOU…"
University had been finished and I used to see her only at reunions but I shied to say "I ALWAYS LOVE YOU…"
It was her wedding party and I kissed her for the first and the last time. I looked into her lovely eyes but was I allowed to say "I LOVE YOU…"?​

​

SIX MONTHS LATER​

I received a letter​

Dear …

Remember the time I was watching you in the mirror and you waved, I wanted to say I love you but I shied.
You were among your friends at school prom. I wanted to come to you and say I love you but I only smiled.
I was sitting alone and you sat next to me on the bench. I really needed to lean my head on your shoulder and say I love you very much but …
We were dancing on campus party while I was wishing to receive kisses from you because I shied to do it my self.
How ever, I was much busy but I attended in reunions just to see you. I didn't know how to express my feelings about you.
You kissed me at my wedding party.
I wish I would say "I LOVE YOU…" at that moment.​

No new yearss day
To celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact heres just another ordinary day
No april rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding saturday within the month of june
But what it is
Is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

No summers high
No warm july
No harvest moon to light one tender august night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
No even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No libra sun
No halloween
No giving thanks to all the christmas joy you bring
But what it is
Though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do.

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart.I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

Of my heart
Of my heart

 

[sara_hyperactive]

With the start of each new day
I find myself thinking of you...
In the middle of my busy day,
my mind wanders and I think of you...
Out of nowhere I see your smile,
hear your laugh and I think of you...
Life is beautiful now because I fall in love
all over again each time I think of you. ​

As days go by, my feelings get stronger, To be in ur arms, I can't wait any longer. Look into my eyes & u'll see that it's true, Day & Night my thought r of U..

Love is
Being honest with yourself at all times
Being honest with the other person at all times
Telling, listening, respecting the truth
And never pretending
Love is the source of reality​

Love is
The freedom to pursue your own desires
While sharing your experiences with the other person
The growth of one individual alongside of
And together with the growth of another individual
Love is the source of success​

 

[sara_hyperactive]

Before love, that jolting lilt
East of roses, in perturbed darkness,
Missing the eternal circumstance,
Yearning still, again, for that exploratory tilt …
Vainly would I fly into your heart
Afire, burning, consumed, expended.
Love is not an ending; nor does it end
Easily: becomes pith, becomes seed, starts
Needing, kneading, mid-desperation,
The long climb out of loneliness, turning
In hope, in anguish, in foolish expectation.
No two are joined except in painful learning:
Each frightened lesion closed for restoration.​

هفت خان رستم (همراه با تصویر!!)

The Seven Stage Of Rostam​

Long times ago Iran's king decided to capture demons' town
.But demons captured him and his army
Rostam, the Iranians' hero started going to the demons' town
.to free Iran's king & his army from captivity​

.Rostam &his horse, Rakhsh stayed in a cane field to rest
Rostam lit fire with an arrow. He also hunted a zebra and
.started eating
There was a lion's woodland in this cane field. This lion was
.even stronger than an elephant​

Rostam was tired and he fell asleep. Lion thought that first he had to defeat horse so that Rostam couldn't escape. The lion went towards Rakhsh. He raised his two hands forward to take Rakhsh' head & plunge his teeth into Rakhsh's back. But
.Rakhsh was so strong that he threw him to the ground​

.In the morning Rostam woke up. He saw the lion the ground
Don't fight alone again! If something happens to you, how can
?we reach demons' town​

Rostam was riding on Rakhsh when they reached a barren desert. It was so hot that you thought fire was coming down from the sky. Rostam couldn't talk anymore because of hot weather and thirst.Rostam came down and continued his
way on foot. He couldn't find any way for rescue. He looked at the sky, prayed & fell down​

Suddenly a buffalo was appeared in that field. Rostam wondered where this animal gets water. He asked God to help him and then got up. Rostam and Rakhsh followed the buffalo. They found a spring in the way and drank water from it. Rostam washed his body in the water, hunted a zebra, cooked
.it and started eating​

Rostam and Rakhsh reached a plain. A dragon lived in that plain. Elephant, lion and even demon didn't have the courage to come to that plain because of the dragon, and if they came
.to the plain, they couldn't escape
The dragon was watching Rostam & Rakhsh
.Rostam fell asleep​

The dragon went towards Rakhsh. Rakhsh got confused when
he saw the dragon. He went towards Rostam to wake him up
.and show him the dragon​

When Rakhsh came near Rostam, he pounded his hoof on the ground. Rostam woke up & looked at the desert. Suddenly the
dragon disappeared. Rostam slept again. The dragon
appeared in the darkness & went near Rostam. Rakhsh
.spread the soil to wake him up
.Rostam woke up & again he saw nothing."You don't sleep &
don't let me sleep'' Said Rostam angrily to Rakhsk and he fell
.asleep again
The dragon appeared and lit fire with itstail. Rakhsh didn't have the courage to wake Rostam up, but he liked him and so
.decided to do that​

Rostam got up and he get angry. But because of God's will, that time the dragon couldn't hide. Rostam saw the dragon and fought against him. Rakhsh touched his ears surprisingly
because he saw Rostam pulled out both shoulders of the
.dragon with his teeth
The dragon was so huge that when it fell down, the field under it's body disappeared​

 

[S H i M A]

​

In the morning, Rostam started riding on the horse. He saw a spring and there were bread and shaker near it. He came
down the horse and sat by the spring. He saw a lute and started playing and singing. He sang a song about himself
"Rostam is a homeless person… he seldom has happy days…
everywhere is battle ground for him… he should always fight against demon, dragon, lion and panther
A witch heard Rostam's song. She did makeup, came closer
.and sat near Rostam
​

Rostam thanked God for beautiful spring and the lute. Rostam didn't know that the woman was a witch. When he called God's name the witch's face color changed. When Rostam saw her face, he got up
"Who are you?" Asked Rostam
The witch suddenly changed to a big ugly woman
​

When Rostam recognized the witch he cut her in two pieces.
​

Rostam continued going on his way. He reached a place full of grasses. He rested there with Rakhsh. When Rostam was resting , suddenly a few persons came close
"Why are you sleeping in this plain and letting your horse free?" they asked Rostam
Rostam fought against them. He took one of them and told him:
"If you show me the place of the demons which Iran's king has taken, and also the place of the king I will appoint you as the
"king of Mazandaran.
That man, who was called O'lad replied:'' If you want to find the place of demons and reach the place where the king is
captured, you should walk a long way and pass thousands of "demons and soldiers of Mazandaran's king
"Let's see what I can do."
Rostam laughed and said.
Rostam and O'lad started going to the place of demons
​

Rostam and O'lad reached the plain where a demon called Arzhang lived. The demons gathered when they saw Rostam. Rostam shouted so loudly that the sea and mountains trembled. Arzhang jumped out of his tent. Rostam defeated
him in a short time and other demons ran away
​

At that time Rostam had to defeat a demon called White Demon to save Iran's king, Kavos. He had to pass seven mountains and reach a black and frightening cave. That cave was the place where White Demon lived. O'lad told Rostam a secret.
"When the sun rises, the demon falls asleep. At that time no demon is awake except the guards of White Demon and so
"you can win in that fight
​

Rostam waited until the sun rose. Rostam called God's name and attacked the demons. When he defeated the guards he went to the cave of White Demon. In the cave he saw a demon
who was as huge as a mountain. White Demon was asleep. Rostam called him to wake him up.
When he saw Rostam, he took a large stone and went
.towards Rostam rapidly
​

Rostam beat the hands and legs of the demon quickly. They fought until Rostam defeated the demon. When Rostam defeated him the spell which made Iran's king and his army
.blind broke and they were able to see
​

When Rostam defeated White Demon, he then freed king
Kavos and his army. After that he fought against the king of
Mazandaran and struck him. Mazandaran's king was a
. sorcerer and so with Rostam's impact he turned to a stone
Rostam appointed O'lad as the king of Mazandaran because
.of his promise
​

Rostam came back to Iran with king Kavos and his army. He
.was the champion of Iranians indeed

No one can avoid defeat. that is why it is better to lose a few battles in the fight for your dreams than to be defeated without even knowing why you were fighting.​

Why English Is So Difficult

Why English Is So Difficult

Why English Is So Difficult

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;
but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
yet the plural of moose should never be meese.

You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice;
yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?

If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet,
and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?

If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and three would be those,
yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
and the plural of cat is cats, not cose.

We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
but though we say mother we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim.
Anonymous

Some reasons to be grateful if you grew up speaking English;
1) The bandage was wound around the wound.

3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.

21) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
22) I spent last evening evening out a pile of dirt.

Let's face it - English is a crazy language.

There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine In pineapple.

English muffins weren't invented in England .
We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?
If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
Ship by truck and send cargo by ship?
Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wiseguy are opposites?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off by going on.
If Dad is Pop, how come! Mom isn't Mop?
GO FIGURE! That's American English.
unlike Sanskrit english made its own rules of pronounciation & Grammar in a different way based on the words derivated from
example CH is pronounced as ka wen the word is derived from greek example
character = karakter
CH is pronounced as sha wen the word is from french
ex champagne,chateau
similarly with singulars & plurals​

HOW A SON/DAUGHTER THINKS OF HIS/HER DAD AT DIFFERENT AGES:
​

At 4 Years
My daddy is great.​

​

At 6 Years
My daddy knows everybody.


At 10 Years
My daddy is good but is short tempered


At 12 Years
My daddy was very nice to me when I was young.


At 14 Years
My daddy is getting fastidious.


At 16 Years
My daddy is not in line with the current times.


At 18 Years
My daddy is becoming increasingly cranky.


At 20 Years
Oh! Its becoming difficult to tolerate daddy. Wonder how Mother puts
up with him.


At 25 Years
Daddy is objecting to everything.


At 30 Years
It's becoming difficult to manage my son. I was so scared of my father
when I was young.


At 40 Years
Daddy brought me up with so much discipline. Even I should do the same.

At 45 Years
I am baffled as to how my daddy brought us up.
At 50 Years
My daddy faced so many hardships to bring us up. I am unable to manage
a single son.
At 55 Years
My daddy was so far sighted and planned so many things for us. He is
one of his kind and unique.
At 60 Years
My daddy is great.
Thus, it took 56 years to complete the cycle and come back to the 1st stage.
Realise the true value of your parents before its too late.​

US economic growth
01 سپتامبر, 2007

اقتصاد آمریکا قوی تر به نظر می رسد


طبق آمار وزارت بازرگانی آمریکا، نرخ رشد اقتصادی سالانه این کشور بسیار قابل توجه بوده و در سه ماهه دوم سال 2007، معادل چهار درصد بوده است. این آمار مربوط به قبل از مشکلات اخیر بازارهای مالی است. به گزارش اندرو واکر، گوش کنید:

[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The new figures cover the three months up to the end of June. They represent a significant increase compared with the government's first estimate a few weeks ago. And they are a very pronounced improvement compared with the decidedly weak performance in the first three months of the year. Strong investment by American business was one of the main factors behind the faster growth.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]There is some comfort for financial markets in these figures, but, it must be said, not very much. The recent volatility in credit markets and share prices is not reflected at all. It came a few weeks after the end of the period these figures cover. How will those events affect the wider economy remains the big question about them.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Traders in the markets are also trying to guess whether the Federal Reserve - the US central bank - will cut interest rates again to limit any economic consequences. Many are hoping the Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will give some clues when he speaks on Friday at a gathering of central bankers from around the world.[/FONT]

Athletics championships draw to a close

مو فراه، از بریتانیا، در مسابقه دوی 5 هزار متر مردان، مقام ششم را کسب کرد


مسابقات جهانی ورزش های دو و میدانی، که در شهر اوزاکا در ژاپن برگزار شده بود پایان یافت. این رقابت های 9 روزه که شاهد یک رشته قهرمانی های فراموش نشدنی بود، از رسوایی و ماجراهای جنجالی، عمدتا به دور ماند. به گزارش آلکس کپستیک، گوش کنید:

[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]These championships could not have been more different than the cold, wet and windy experience that was the last edition two years ago in Helsinki. For athletes and spectators, track and field is at its best when the weather is fine, but with the mercury soaring above the thirty degrees mark and soaking humidity, Osaka has taken it to the extreme.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]But there were few complaints and although no world records have been set, the running, throwing and jumping has been of the highest quality. The most successful athlete has been the American sprinter, Tyson Gaye, who will leave Japan with three gold medals.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]There was much to enjoy here in Osaka but the overall attendance has been disappointing. The sports governing body is under pressure to attract a new audience. One idea under consideration is to make the schedule more compact, by reducing the length of the championships.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]But at least there have been no scandals - yet. At least one drug sample is suspicious, but the organisers say it will take at least a week to determine whether there's been a doping violation.[/FONT]

Tributes to Pavarotti
08 سپتامبر, 2007

در ایتالیا، مقدمات تشییع جنازه لوچیانو پاواروتی، مشهورترین خواننده تنور دنیا، که پنجشنبه گذشته درگذشت، فراهم آورده می شود. سیاستمداران و چهره های سرشناس از سراسر جهان به ایتالیا رفته اند تا در مراسم تدفین پاواروتی، در مودنا، شهر زادگاهش شرکت کنند. به گزارش کریستین فریزر، گوش کنید:

[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Since late Thursday evening there's been a steady stream of people filing past Luciano Pavarotti's open casket. He's dressed in his traditional black tuxedo, his white scarf round his neck, the rosaries in his hand. Last night his second wife, Nicoletta, stood by the coffin as hundreds queued outside Modena cathedral for a last glimpse of their favourite tenor.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The family have asked for a solemn funeral, though in many ways it's taken the shape of a state funeral. The Prime Minister, Romano Prodi, has signalled his wish to attend and the Italian papers have speculated that the British royal family might also send a representative.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]There will also be a long list of celebrities and musicians here. The line-up includes many of those with whom he shared the stage - Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras, Bono, Sting and Elton John among them. Pavarotti's great friend Andrea Bocelli will sing the Panis Angelicus which Pavarotti had sung with his father in this same cathedral many years ago. And the funeral will be shown live on Italian television - a screen in the cathedral square for the many thousands of people expected.[/FONT]

Banta singh letter to billgates ​

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,
This letter is from Banta Singh from Punjab . We have bought a computer for our home and we found problems, which I want to bring to your notice.

> 1. After connecting to internet we planned to open e-mail account and whenever we fill the form in Hotmail in the password column, only ****** appears, but in the rest of the fields whatever we typed appears, but we face this problem only in password field. We checked with hardware vendor Santa Singh and he said that there is no problem in keyboard. Because of this we open the e-mail account with password *****. I request you to check this as we ourselves do not know what the password is.

> 2. We are unable to enter anything after we click the 'shut down ' button.

> 3. There is a button 'start' but there is no "stop" button. We request you to check this.

> 4. We find there is 'Run' in the menu. One of my friend clicked 'run' and has ran upto Amritsar ! So, we request you to change that to "sit", so that we can click that by sitting.

> 5. One doubt is that any 're-scooter' available in system? As I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.

> 6. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot for tracing the key with this ' find', but unable to trace. Is it a bug??

> 7. Every night I am not sleeping as I have to protect my 'mouse' from CAT, So I suggest u to provide one DOG to kill that cat.

> 8. Please confirm when u are going to give me money for winning 'HEARTS' (playing cards in games) and when are u coming to my home to collect ur money.

> 9. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when u will provide that?

Best regards,
Banta Singh
