Back after so long!!! Phew!!!! I was just lost in my soul...I found something very very (Indian English I say!!! emphasizing my astonishment by repetitive usage of the word very, please forgive) astounding today, so I thought what better topic to write if not this?

My best friend of college came up to meet me from Pune.It is always the most awaited event for me just like Oscars are for celebrities, well I may not be a celebrity and she might not be the so called queen of this world, yes but for sure we are our own favorites in our own worlds and the best mates!!!

So, we went shopping, girl’s favorite stress buster, I must admit that I am not prodigal not because I am a hoarder but the fact that I fail to infer the requisite of so many appurtenances in my life and in a way try to keep myself and my life elementary.
I have always wondered on muliebrity.Is femininity synonym for redacting formulations on lifelike?I never had this urge to buy myself colors or clips, nah!!! That’s not me :) yeah but loads of Metallica CDs instead but she is the one who is perpetually encouraging me to be little more feminine :)and I ask for whom?? And for what and why!!!!

I still haven't found the answers though but yes she got successful in her own way to bring visible colorful changes in me.
So, we set down in C.P(I am really lucky to be born in dilli ,,and i am a pakka dilliwala) though I indispose myself as I fail to put up with latest trends. We gazed on some street stuff, her all time favorite are those hanging gardens and I fail to get the purpose they solve except for another extensions,well I am talking about earrings :)

The lady on the street and the owner of those junks when asked by us about the price told her that she can get those in mere 400 bucks...you see it... :) , we stared in amazement at each others face because the same design we had already taken from Palika in mere 20 Rs :).Not to mention that even the original's one I bargained 80% of the original cost (all thanks to my mother, I acquired this art from her),so we were in a state of seismic disturbances.
Now here is the topic of my blog, the above was just a prologue.

The Lady......

My My!!! Oh My!!! Delhi is full of rattling crowd; you can find motley of men and women here,I am just amazed and really don't know if someone at my place would be that amazed as I was ,but for me it is one of the mind opening life experience.

She had mellifluous voice, most definitely the one we would love to hear all day and all night long. Such a sophistication such a beauty in her voice as if she just came from some Queen's Land.

We bargained or to be precise I bargained, and she refused, said "Madam I am sitting here on this street from so many years and making all this jewelry by my own hands, this is pure silver, what can I do when silver prices have risen so much."
We giggled, she said "Madam no problem, Please do come if you in any case change your mind."

And I ended the conversation in my Hindi "Thank you, hum aenge agar hamein acha laga toh apke pass." and very gently she reverted, “My Pleasure.”, not in the language we conversed but in English and I got so carried away that what the heck is this man!!

A lady sitting in dust on streets, loaded with sweats and smells but still she sat with poise as that of a Queen and smiled as if she had nothing to lose and die for what people would say about her charms. She carried herself with grace and spoke so fluently with so much authority and attitude.

This goes to show so many points.

1. If a person has the will to work then he can do any kind of work provided enthusiasm is there. So discourage begging.

2. Resources do not always help, though they might give an aid, but NO, Again if someone has that fire to live with dignity, even without four walls one can still become a nice salesman.

As we all know the cost of a small land in C.P. She said in her own words."Madam the only difference is I do not have a shop".

3. Woman is THE best creation of this lord; she has all the power to stay dignified. A girl from high-class may not portray expected demeanor in spite of all the facilities given but at the same time poverty do not snatch away the dignity from other till she does not let it go by herself.

4. I have always loved traveling alone with open mind or with someone who matches up with my frequency so that I can accumulate as much as I can. So travel and travel alone with empty cups.

5. Education does not necessarily cultivate good manners, it is constitutional.

We did not buy anything from there, but we definitely learned so many good things from her and moved on with new zeal.

I have always admired hardworking men with chivalry, honesty and the ones treasuring their words, but here I would definitely like to mention that by far and yes by far women are the best, they truly are, and I am not being prejudiced or biased here but I always support the weaker section of our society in every possible way I can.

And yes Delhi!!! You rock girl :) if you want to see people full of life please see my city :)

Wishing all the mothers on earth out there "Happy Mother's Day"

I hope I lived up to the expectations for few and not for many.

I will keep writing on topics I find worth pondering, till then as I always say -
Keep Smiling and Stay Stylish.

Cobra De Capelo.......

Hi
I am back for few of you with some more information on snakes.
The topic of my blog is a very interesting creature among the species of snakes.It is called as COBRA,please do not confuse it with King Cobra.
This snake is highly venomous.The name is derived from Portuguese Cobra De Capelo meaning "snake with hood" or simply stating "hood snake".
They belong to the family of Elapidae.
Elapidae in Greek(éllops) means sea-fish.It is a family of venomous snakes found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, terrestrially in Asia and North America and aquatically in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Elapid snakes exist in a wide range of sizes, from 18 cm species of Drysdalia to the 6 m King Cobra, and are characterized by hollow, fixed fangs through which they inject venom. Currently, 61 genera that include 325 species are recognized.So one of the member in Cobra Kingdom is Naja Naja found mostly in Asia(including India) and Africa,Middle-East.Though there are many more genera under cobra but this one is more related and most widespread.It is a genus of venomous elapid snakes.The NAJA has 22 species under it.

This snake is revered in Indian mythology and culture and is often seen with snake charmers. It is now protected in India under the Indian Wildlife Protection Act (1972).
An average cobra is about 1.9 meters (6 feet) in length and rarely as long as 2.4 meters (nearly 8 feet).
Cobras normally feed on rodents, toads, frogs, birds and snakes. Their normal habitat includes open forest and farmland. They are however also able to thrive in cities, living on rodents in the sewers and underground drains.


Indian cobras are oviparous and lay their eggs between the months of April and July. Females lay from 12 to 30 eggs in an underground nest and the eggs hatch 48 to 69 days later. Newborn cobras measure between 8 and 12 inches (20–30 cm). Newly hatched cobras have fully functional venom glands.There are numerous myths about cobras in India, including the idea that they mate with ratsnakes.





Venom :
All species in Naja are jehreeley...and if once bitten my them may result in death. Most species have strongly neurotoxic venom, which attacks the nervous system, causing paralysis, but many also have hemotoxic features which causes swelling, necrosis and has a significant anticoagulant effect.

Several Naja species, referred to as spitting cobras, have developed a specialized venom delivery mechanism, in which their front fangs, instead of releasing venom through the tips, as a hypodermic needle, have a rifled opening in the front surface, which allows the snake to propel the venom out of the mouth. While typically referred to as spitting, the action is more like squirting. The range and accuracy with which they can shoot their venom varies from species to species, but it is used primarily as a defense mechanism. Once sprayed onto a victim's skin, the venom acts as a severe irritant. If it is introduced to the eye, it can cause a severe burning sensation and temporary or even permanent blindness if not cleaned out immediately and thoroughly.

I shall be back with more fun and knowledge ...

Till den as I always say!!!

Keep smiling and Stay Stylish!!!!!

Daboia .......hisssssssssssssssssssss

Hoye!!!!! I am back with some knowledge!!!!!
Read if u love them,,,read even if u don't.......

Common Name : Russell's Viper,Chain Viper,Seven Pacer
Biological name : Daboia russelii

Hindi name: That lies Hid..or The lurker.....

This saanp is named after its discoverer Dr. Patrick Russell.
It is the most dangerous and the one causing maximum deaths in India and world wide.India boasts of 4 species of saanps and this is one is among those four....

Vital Stats : ( not to be confused with 36-24-36 ,,,the below mentioned are more dangerous and more voluptuous than mentioned above).

Average Length : 4 ft
Maximum Length : 5.5 ft
Total length 4 ft., 1 inch 124 cm
Length of tail 7 inches 18 cm
Girth 6 inches 15 cm
Width of head 2 inches 5 cm
Length of head 2 inches 5 cm

Geographical Locations : India,Pakistan,Sri lanka,Myanmar,Bangladesh,Nepal,Taiwan,Indonesia,Sumatra.

Habitat:
It is not restricted to any particular habitat, but does tend to avoid dense forests. The snake is mostly found in open, grassy or bushy areas, but may also be found in second growth forests (scrub jungles), on forested plantations and farmland. They are most common in plains, coastal lowlands and hills of suitable habitat. Generally not found at altitude, but has been reported as far up as 2300–3000 m. Humid environments, such as marshes, swamps and rain forests, are avoided.

This species is often found in highly urbanized areas and settlements in the countryside, the attraction being the rodents commensurable with man. As a result, those working outside in these areas are most at risk of being bitten.

Behavior : Terrestrial,Nocturnal
When threatened they form a series of S-loops, raise the first third of the body and produce a hiss that is supposedly louder than that of any other snake. When striking from this position, they can exert so much force that even a large individual can lift most of its body off the ground in the process.These are difficult snakes to handle: they are strong and agile and react violently to being picked up.The bite may be a snap, or, they may hang on for many seconds.

Mating: Oviparous,Yearly,gestation period of 6 months.

Venom : The most interesting trait in it
The amount of venom produced by individual specimens is considerable. Reported venom yields for adult specimens range from 130–250 mg to 150–250 mg to 21–268 mg. For 13 juveniles with an average length of 79 cm, the average venom yield was 8–79 mg (mean 45 mg).
Severe pain may last for 2–4 weeks. Locally, it may persist depending on the level of tissue damage. Often, local swelling peaks within 48–72 hours, involving both the affected limb and the trunk. If swelling up to the trunk occurs within 1–2 hours, massive envenomation is likely. Discoloration may occur throughout the swollen area as red blood cells and plasma leak into muscle tissue. Death from septicaemia, respiratory or cardiac failure may occur 1 to 14 days post-bite or even later.

This has always fascinated me.I was lucky to rescue and see a cobra but just eying for a chance to grab this one,i hope i make it soon : ) .......

I hope few of u will find this blog interesting.....

Shall c u soon ....
Till den
