812_Book store
Today's topic is book store.
A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking.
Jerry Seinfeld
I get crazy in a bookstore. It makes my heart beat hard because I want to buy everything.
Reese Witherspoon
I can never leave a bookstore without buying a book. I read four or five at a time.

811_Iris
Today's topic is Iris.
More here.
The iris's history is rich, dating back to Ancient Greek times when the Greek Goddess Iris, the messenger of the gods and the personification of the rainbow, acted as the link between heaven and earth. Purple irises were planted over the graves of women to summon the Goddess to guide the dead in their journey. Ancient Egyptian kings marveled in the iris's exotic nature, and drawings have been found of the flower in a number of Egyptian palaces. During the Middle Ages, the meaning of irises became linked to the French monarchy, and the Fleur-de-lis eventually became the recognized national symbol of France. From their earliest years, irises were used to make perfume and as a medicinal remedy. Today, they are primarily seen in gardens, in bouquets, and in the wild all over the world.

809_Republic day
Today's topic is Republic day.
The Constitution was passed by the Constituent Assembly of India on 26 November 1949 but was adopted on 26 January 1950 with a democratic government system, completing the country's transition toward becoming an independent republic. 26 January was selected for this purpose because it was this day in 1930 when the Declaration of Indian Independence (Purna Swaraj) was proclaimed by the Indian National Congress.

Story!
A story, if you may call it so...
The
horizon turned crimson, her head was resting on his shoulder, she snuggled
closer as the evening sea breeze touched her.
He
sighed & said “ I wish time froze now & we could be here like this
forever”.
Her
eyes were still closed, she smiled & said “ Hmmm… But I will have to leave
in some time”
“Why?
What is the hurry?”
“Sigh!
My husband is coming home for dinner, so I have to go home & cook for him”
She kissed him & walked away.
He
sat there feeling her warmth on his shoulder & staring at the sunset!
