USS Samuel B. Roberts (DE-413)

Halsey was battling Ozawa’s Decoy Force at Cape Engaño where the last surviving Japanese ship from the Pearl Harbor attacks, IJN Zuikaku was ablaze and abandoned.  The Chitose was dead in the water.  Commander Hathaway’s USS Heerman was badly damaged, along with the Hoel, Johnston and Samuel B.

100% hand made card

Minion Head with a human brain

Yesterday I was going through all the gifts and cards that I have received this year.No, could.I  don’t get fancy presents on regular basis.I could.Well, who doesn’t Haha!! But yes since this year is about to end I wanted to take a sneak peek into the past and have a look at them.

One such gift (card to be precise)caught my attention was this beautiful card gifted to me on my bday this year by my didi many many months back.

Here in India usually we don’t refer our elder siblings/cousins/neighbors with their first names.This is taught in almost all the Indian households since a child is born literally.Many little siblings do not care to listen hence address one another with their first names or all sorts of stupid names on earth and then there are siblings like me who follow their parent’s guidelines thoroughly and address them with didi/…

Why Trump’s Attack on a California Railroad Should Trouble You

CHANCES ARE, YOU ignore the federal budgetary process. If the esoteric language and shifting deadlines don’t drive you away, the decades-long timelines and internecine politics will. So it’s understandable you didn’t dig up the details when, last week, the Wired MagazineFederal Transit Administration delayed a $637 million grant for Caltrain, the San Francisco Bay Area’s commuter rail system.

It may have launched the opening salvo in what could be a war against public transit, with national consequences.

Manual mode or Autopilot mode

Extracting Value

How often do we :

• Action  without thinking  and no rationalization behind our actions ?
• Gct on something without thinking then we regret our decision ?
• Get home from work and we simply switch off ( going on autopilot ) and do things without logic  ?
• Find ourselves that time is flying away like crazy and we feel like we haven’t done anything ?

If you found yourself answering yes  or  often  to any of these questions then this is a good time to work on it  .

The autopilot mode prohibits evolution and  promotes comfort , the ordinary or instant gratification . Routine and food  , media  are the main influences for you to fall into autopilot .

There are millions of people in this planet who believe this is a normal state of mind and do not fight to get out of it . Switching to manual implies…
