Together on April 5th

April 4th, 2007 by Vamsi

April 5th has been hard for two people since 8 years now. Two people feel in love long ago having no idea about the huge huge obstacles that they will be facing in years to come. with great patience and hope, they crossed every hurdle and took all the pain. But this year things have changed. Their patience and love proved they are born for each other. Their parents accepted and appreciated their relationship. Now they are together for the first time on their Birthday(April 5th). It is no one but, myself and my sweetheart.

A Very Happy Birthday to us.

Review: 300 Movie - will remain a favorite

March 30th, 2007 by Vamsi

300 Movie Trailer, a Frank Miller MovieIf you’ve seen the trailer, you know that the movie looks full of obscenely ridiculous action sequences that would kick unholy amounts of arse. The movie is a two hour, R-rated version of that trailer. It inspires many an exagerrated obscene comment, but it’s completely deserving in doing so. 300 is adapted from the graphic novel by Frank Miller. Read the rest of this entry »

The Guatemala Skinhole

February 27th, 2007 by Vamsi

Imagine a Huge Hole into the Earch in the street next to yours. And This one would be far beyond your imagination for sure.
What you see here is the Guatemala Skinhole which swallowed some 30 stories of holmes.

February 26, 2007—
After rumbling for weeks, part of a poor Guatemala City neighborhood plummeted some 30 stories into the Earth on Friday.

The reportedly 330-foot-deep (100-meter-deep) sinkhole swallowed about a dozen homes and is so far blamed in the deaths of three people—two teenagers, found floating in torrent of sewage, and their father, who was pulled from the chasm.

Rainstorms and a ruptured sewer main may have caused the sinkhole, officials in Guatemala told the Associated Press. After the collapse, the seemingly bottomless depths gave off tremors, sounds of flowing water, and the scent of sewage.

Sinkholes can occur when underground rocks that can be dissolved by water—such as salt, gypsum, and limestone—are inundated. The removal of groundwater can also leave gaps underground that can lead to sinkholes.

While the cause of the Guatemala City abyss remains uncertain, it’s effects are undeniable.

Police established a 500-yard (457-meter) no-go zone around the sinkhole, and nearly a thousand people were forced to evacuate—some perhaps forever.

“Last night a friend had to take my handicapped wife out on motorcycle,” 15-year resident Antonio Fuentes, 50, told the Associated Press. “Now I’m leaving for good, never to come back.”

Amazing but a Tragedy it is.
