Friday!

The Prayer!

751_Friday

Today's topic is Friday.

I have never in my life found myself in a situation where I've stopped work and said, 'Thank God it's Friday.' But weekends are special even if your schedule is all over the place. Something tells you the weekend has arrived and you can indulge yourself a bit.
~ Helen Mirren

I do like escapism. I like going to the movies on a Friday night and seeing something fun.
~ Charlie Kaufman

Now on Friday nights, if I want to go hang out with friends, I go hang out with friends. If I want to stay in and be in the hot tub and have people over to watch movies, I do that.

The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest.

If you are really thankful, what do you do? You share.
~ W. Clement Stone

Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.

Excuse me while I kiss the sky.

The bluebird carries the sky on his back.

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.

Drum!

Drum roles for I am the only one to have uploaded today!

Everybody loves stories. So to make CD more exciting, I am sharing this story! 

The topic drum, reminded me of a story I read some time in Tinkle.

Once a boy bought a drum at the village fair. He loved it so much that he would play it all day. He played it so badly that the villagers got annoyed with the noise, so they asked him to stop playing, but the boy refused & continued. no amount of pleading or threatening worked. So the villagers approached an old monk to help them. One day, as the boy came down a path playing the drum, the old monk smiled, asked him for the drum, played it & told the boy "Wonder what is inside that makes such a wonderful sound!" & walked away. 

The boy, wondered, what made the sound? He could not contain his curiosity so he looked around, found a stone & broke his drum! There was nothing inside, the boy was disappointed & the village enjoyed peace!

All this story telling made me thirsty so now for a drink ;)

PS: Old monk is a popular Rum brand :)

Today's topic is Drums.

First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money.
~ Ringo Starr

Almost everything I've done, I've done through my own creativity. I don't think I ever had to listen to anyone else to learn how to play drums. I wish I could say that for about ten thousand other drummers.
~ Buddy Rich

Drums usually seem to tune themselves.
~ Levon Helm

The drummer's function, along with the bass player, is to be the engine that drives the car... everything else is merely colours.
~ Suzi Quatro

Most great records really start with the drums.
~ Billy Corgan

Playing drums feels like coming home for me. Even during the White Stripes I thought: 'I'll do this for now, but I'm really a drummer.' That's what I'll put on my passport application.
~ Jack White

Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me.
~ Levon Helm

I taught myself how to play the guitar, I taught myself how to play the drums, and I kind of fake doing both of them. But drumming comes more natural to me, and it just feels better.
~ Dave Grohl

If you listen to a lot of old funk records, the drums are really small. But you don't perceive it like that because the groove is so heavy.
~ Lenny Kravitz

I first became a vegetarian when I was nine, in response to an argument made by a radical babysitter. My great change - which lasted a couple of weeks - was based on the very simple instinct that it's wrong to kill animals for food.
~ Jonathan Safran Foer

The vegetarian movement is an ancient movement and is not quite a modern one.
~ Morarji Desai

Most people see a documentary about the meat industry and then they become a vegetarian for a week.
~ Jason Reitman

That's the nice thing about being a vegetarian. You don't have to be neurotic. Selective omnivores have to be neurotic. Personally, I don't have time for all that; I don't want to get into it.
~ Jonathan Safran Foer

I was a vegan for two years, and I really enjoyed it. Then, I got to a point in my life at which I wanted to do something else, so now I'm a vegetarian. You should make your diet one that best fits you and how you feel. Listen to your body. The most important thing is to exercise, drink lots of water, and take really good care of yourself.
~ Lea Michele

I'm a vegetarian, but I don't expect other people not to eat meat.
~ Bjorn Lomborg

When I'm cooking for myself, I find that I eat almost completely vegetarian, although I'm not vegetarian.

I don't allow meat in my house or in my oven. My whole family is vegetarian - and although I've given my kids the choice to order meat at a restaurant when they reach five, they're not interested.
~ Sadie Frost

At home in Ghaziabad, everyone is a pure vegetarian. In fact, when I want to cook non-veg there, my mum shoos me out on the terrace where I have my cooking utensils. I'm told categorically that whatever non-veg or egg, etc., that I have to cook, I should do upstairs and not enter her kitchen at all.
~ Suresh Raina

I like animals, all animals. I wouldn't hurt a cat or a dog - or a chicken or a cow. And I wouldn't ask someone else to hurt them for me. That's why I'm a vegetarian.
~ Peter Dinklage

~ Plato

Without music, life would be a mistake.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

If music be the food of love, play on.
