623_Jim Corbett
Today's topic is Jim Corbett.
Today is Jim Corbett's birthday. More HERE.
A tiger is a large-hearted gentleman with boundless courage and that when he is exterminated - as exterminated he will be unless public opinion rallies to his support - India will be the poorer by having lost the finest of her fauna.
~ Jim Corbett
Tigers, except when wounded or when man-eaters, are on the whole very good-tempered...Occassionally a tiger will object to too close an approach to its cubs or to a kill that it is guarding. The objection invariably takes the form of growling, and if this does not prove effective itis followed by short rushes accompanied by terrifying roars. If these warnings are disregarded, the blame for any injury inflicted rests entirely with the intruder.
~ Jim Corbett
I had spent many nights in the jungle looking for game, but this was the first time I had ever spent a night looking for a man-eater. The length of road immediately in front of me was brilliantly lit by the moon, but to right and left the overhanging trees cast dark shadows, and when the night wind agitated the branches and the shadows moved, I saw a dozen tigers advancing on me, and bitterly regretted the impulse that had induced me to place myself at the man-eater's mercy. I lacked the courage to return to the village and admit I was too frightened to carry out my self-imposed task, and with teeth chattering, as much from fear as from cold, I sat out the long night. As the grey dawn was lighting up the snowy range which I
was facing, I rested my head on my drawn-up knees, and it was in this position my men an hour later found me fast asleep; of the tiger I had neither heard nor seen anything.
~ Jim Corbett, champawat man-eater

622_Hunter
Today's topic is Hunter.
I've always said I want a farmer, not a hunter. Hunters go for the kill and they move on. A farmer nurtures; he watches things grow.
~ Eva Longoria
It is thought that the changeover from hunter to farmer was a slow, gradual process.
~ Stephen Gardiner
I've seen a dead body, I've seen some pretty gruesome fist fights, I've been a hunter since I was a child, though I don't anymore, I've gutted wild game.
~ George Eads
Who gets the bird, the hunter or the dog?
~ John Lewis
In reality, I don't see myself as a man hunter. In fact, when it comes to love, I am rarely the one to make the first move.
~ Carla Bruni
The masculine energy was about survival. The male was the hunter who risked his life and had to be in the fight-flight mode.
~ Deepak Chopra
Vegetarian - that's an old Indian word meaning lousy hunter.
~ Andy Rooney

Stripey Royal Beasts
I had a chance to visit Ranthambore tiger reserve last december. We didn't get to see any tigers then because of it being off season for tiger spotting. But we came very close to one, we could hear a deer giving warning signals to other animals. Those few moments we waited quietly and gripped in suspense if the tiger would come face to face with us next second. As they say sometimes fantasy is better than the real thing. Hope to see it someday!
Wild tiger
Leave the wildlife alone!
Dont see them, dont hunt,
dont capture them to eat, wear, cure illness or display in zoos.
Do not show off to your circle that you spotted/didnt spot one.
Dont even try and protect them or they will vanish for sure.
Dont enter the dense forest at all or cut down their tree-cover.
Thats what makes them WILD.
They are off limits...let me repeat OFF-LIMITS.
If you want to see them so desperately, google.

I was a tiger, a good fighter, in good shape, but I was always nervous before boxing matches.

~ George Bernard Shaw

620_Clay
Today's topic is Clay.
The reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter, I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them out of clay.
~ Martin Luther
I am a hidden meaning made to defy. The grasp of words, and walk away With free will and destiny. As living, revolutionary clay.
~ Muhammad Iqbal
The earth is rocky and full of roots; it's clay, and it seems doomed and polluted, but you dig little holes for the ugly shriveled bulbs, throw in a handful of poppy seeds, and cover it all over, and you know you'll never see it again - it's death and clay and shrivel, and your hands are nicked from the rocks, your nails black with soil.
~ Anne Lamott
It is very hard for me to switch from clay to grass.
~ Marat Safin
My mom's the one I look up to for everything. I feel like I'm a lump of clay and she's moulding me into a woman.
~ Chloe Grace Moretz
One has to be able to twist and change and distort characters, play with them like clay, so everything fits together. Real people don't permit you to do that.
~ Peter Carey
I like doing clay work. It's different from drawing on a page because you have something to mold into different shapes. It's quite visual, it's a thing you can hold and feel, and that makes it different from drawing.
~ Bonnie Wright
Happy Drawing! :)

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.

A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don't have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and uninformed.

614_Rembrandt
Today's topic is Rembrandt.
15th July was Rembrandt's birthday.
I don't think there's an illustrator who's as good as a Titian or a Rembrandt... but then, Rembrandt was a bit of an illustrator on the quiet, you know?
~ Quentin Blake
Rembrandt is so deeply mysterious that he says things for which there are no words in any language. Rembrandt is truly called a magician... that's not an easy calling.
~ Vincent van Gogh, letter to Theo van Gogh
He can blend, like no one else, reality with mystery, the bestial with the divine, the most subtle and powerful craftsmanship with the greatest, the loneliest depths of feeling that painting has ever expressed.
~ Paul Valéry,

612_Tank
Today's topic is Tank.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that the 761st was Patton's best tank unit and nobody knew about it.
~ Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.
~ Jacques Yves Cousteau
An actor's popularity is fleeting. His success has the life expectancy of a small boy who is about to look into a gas tank with a lighted match.

611_Electric Guitar
Today's topic is Electric Guitar.
I went to my friend's house one day, and he had an electric guitar he had just bought with a tiny little amp. I turned the volume up to 10 and I hit one chord, and I said, I'm in love.
~ Ace Frehley
Being 16 years old and getting an electric guitar is never going to get old. There's always going to be kids making music. There's always going to be kids in bands.
~ Dan Auerbach
As much as I love acoustic Neil Young - and I do deeply - I may be more passionate about the electric. Luckily it's not a contest, and we never have to make that choice. But Neil Young on an electric guitar - I feel like I've never seen or heard anything like it.
~ Jonathan Demme
Once I picked up an electric guitar, I lost interest in piano, and I just wanted to rock. I studied piano for so long, I got burned out on it.
~ Juliana Hatfield

610_Population
Today's topic is Population.
11 July, 2013 was World Population Day. More HERE.
Instead of controlling the environment for the benefit of the population, maybe we should control the population to ensure the survival of our environment.
-- Sir David Attenborough
"The point of population stabilization is to reduce or minimize misery."
--Roger Bengston, founding board member, World Population Balance
Basically, then, there are only two kinds of solutions to the population problem. One is a "birth rate solution," in which we find ways to lower the birth rate. The other is a "death rate solution," in which ways to raise the death rate - war, famine, pestilence - find us.
-- Paul Ehrlich The Population Bomb
In the last 200 years the population of our planet has grown exponentially, at a rate of 1.9% per year. If it continued at this rate, with the population doubling every 40 years, by 2600 we would all be standing literally shoulder to shoulder.
-- Prof Stephen Hawking
"When the family is small, whatever little they have they are able to share. There is peace."
--Philip Njuguna, pastor, Nairobi, Kenya
Either a species learns to control its own population, or something like disease, famine, war, will take care of the issue."
-- Chuck Palahniuk
