Happy Valentine Day

We wish you a very Happy Valentine Day!

I wasn’t brought-up with Valentine Day culture but I choose to differ in views with some people in Nepal who think the day as a cultural encroachment from the western world.

As long as it is symbolizes love and affection there is nothing wrong in adopting a festival of another culture/religion. Presenting rose to one’s lover is a blissful event.

Definition of the Day : Saint Valentine’s Day is an annual holiday held on February 14 to celebrate love and affection between intimate companions. The day is named after Christian martyrs named Valentine. In the day, lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, greeting cards and other gifts.

Living Sculpture on Swiss Glacier – Photos

I talked about the call for volunteers for this event in one of my previous post. About 600 people responded to the call and were brave enough to take their clothes off in the cold glacier.

Hundreds of naked people pose in front of the Aletsch glacier during a massive naked photo session with U.S. photographer Spencer Tunick, near Bettmeralp, Switzerland, Saturday Aug. 18, 2007.

The environmental group Greenpeace commissioned Tunick to take pictures of nude volunteers on a Swiss glacier to call attention to the issue of global warming and its impact on glaciers.

“I want my images to go more than skin-deep. I want the viewers to feel the vulnerability of their existence and how it relates closely to the sensitivity of the world’s glaciers,” said photographer, Spencer Tunick.

I have collected some of the photos from different sources and the credit goes to respective sources.

Mouse pad to feel

If you are using computer a lot for typing, surfing you might feel you hands need to rest a little. Repeated mouse clicks can cause some repetitive stress related problems. It is not well known weather a wrist rest in in a mouse pad helps in reducing stress or not but according to this Harvard page, wrist-rest for a keyboard is a clear no no.

If you only want a feel of mouse pad this mouse pad is made for you.

Some Stages of Life

Today I am compiling some of the funny definition of stages of life.

The four stages of life
1) You believe in Santa Claus
2) You don’t believe in Santa Claus
3) You are Santa Claus
4) You look like Santa Claus

And following definition also sounds convincing. Don’t you agree that the photo below is a great representation of one’s life?

Volunteers wanted to take their clothes off and model on Swiss glacier

Yes, if you are interested to pose for the photo you can contact Greenpeace and start your journey right away. But it sure is not an easy job to pose on a freezing cold Alpine glacier.

Environmental group Greenpeace said that New York artist Spencer Tunick, famous for taking pictures of thousands of naked people in public settings worldwide, is taking a photo shoot to highlight the effects of climate change on Switzerland’s shrinking glaciers.

Greenpeace said if global warming continues at its current pace, most Swiss glaciers will disappear by 2080.

The photo shoot, which follows Tunick’s previous shoots in London, Mexico City and Amsterdam, will take place in August at an undisclosed location in Switzerland.

Prospective candidates from further afield will have to start making travel arrangements now. “We aim to make this a climate friendly event, so please come by public transport and don’t fly,” Greenpeace said.

The photo shown is one of the many photos taken by Spencer Tunick on May 6 in Mexico City. (News source CNN)
