' IT'S THE WORST OF TIMES ; IT'S THE BEST OF TIMES ! '
It's an old custom to reflect back upon the time that gone by And We are someway accustomed for such stock-taking!
The Year 2012 has witnessed many upheavals and predicted many omens for 2013.The world remains mostly preoccupied with the middle-east where SYRIA topped the news charts as a perennial battleground full of civil-strifes and foreign meddlings.As per the UNO-REPORT,as many as 50 000 people lost their lives and more than a million fled into the nearby countries of Turkey n Lebonan! The Fierce Power Struggle Between The Ruling Assad Forces n The Loose Groups of Various Oppositions Has Been Going On And Has No Signs Of Any Solutions In Sight So Far!
The Unique Phenomenon Named,'ARAB-SPRING' Has Completed Its Two Years In The Arab World With Results More Vague n Of Mixedbag Nature!IN TOTALITY,THE YEAR 2012 CAN'T BE TERMED AS GOOD FOR THE REGION.
The conditions of many african countries have been extremely pathetic!NIGER was the worst hit as one of its regions,SAHEL, was without foods and chronic hunger ,rather starvation was reported .The Crisis in Sudan Hit new lows and thousands fled or killed in the internal war.The United Nations, The United States, The European Union n others have been generous in providing aids in many forms,yet,the requirements in many african countries are much more and that, in part , is the result of poor governance and the all pervasive militia culture and of course the lack of technology to harness the vast potentials of Africa in terms of natural n human resources!
Asia has witnessed some important changes as the change of guards in China n North Korea took place which has very far reaching impacts in coming times.
Myanmar(Burma) has given good signs as it came out of its isolation and the democratic process taking strong shape in the present transitionary period.AUNG SAN SUI KYI,The legendary pro democracy leader has fought election n won n started her parliamentary journey.SHE ALSO VISITED US,UK AND NORWAY(where she accepted the Nobel Peace Award n gave a brilliant acceptance speech. . .she couldn't receive the award when she was chosen for it in early nineties for she was leading an incarcerated life).
SOUTH KOREA Also got its new premier n so did JAPAN.
INDIAN POLITICAL SCENARIO REMAINED GRIM AS THE RULING CONGRESS PARTY LED GOVERNMENT HEADED BY A RATHER PUPPET MAN,MR.MAN MOHAN SINGH, HAS BEEN EATING INTO THE VITALS OF INDIAN SOCIO-POLITICAL STANDING.
2012 REMAINED AN YEAR OF SCAMS,SCANDALS AND DYSFUNCTIONAL GOVERNANCE!THE YEAR CLOSES WITH A GANGRAPE IN INDIA'S CAPITAL CITY,NEW DELHI,THAT MADE ALL INDIANS ASHAMED!
The year 2012 was an election year for the people of the united states and there has been lots of ups n downs in the election campaigns ,but,the end result didn't appear shocking as americans still chose a man who couldn't live upto his own promises and the expectations of people,MR.BARACK HUSAIN OBAMA. But,the time was rather tougher for america and mr.obama did deliver the best that a man under such dismal economical conditions could have done!
The year end talk of 'fiscal-cliff' didn't bring any hope till the time i started to write this.
AMERICA IS CERTAINLY PASSING THROUGH VERY DIFFICULT PLUS TRYING TIMES! There were deadly shootings and natural catastrophies plaguing the country and its fiscal management showing little signs of progress!
But, AMERICA IS PRETTY MUCH RESILIENT AND IT COULD SURELY BOUNCE BACK SHORTLY !
Europe has been battling its grim economy as nations like Greece, Spain, Italy, Ireland ,to name a few,have been in dire straits!The change of guards in Italy, Greece n Spain didn't bring any noteworthy changes!
Banks are on their nadir and unemployment grows beyond control!
Despite its worst plight in years,THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL ,got the Nobel Peace Prize !
2012 was the worst year for Europe in recent memory!
Playing host to the Olympics n Paralympics,the Great Britain Has Got Its Fair Share Of Reviews,but,the media has always been in the dock for trespass and intrusion into people's privacy!
Great Britain along with Germany,where Merkel Got Another Term And France,where Sarko Had To Go With His Supermodel wife,giving way to the leftist Mr.Francois Hollande, have had moments of good cheers!
OVER ALL,NOT A SATISFACTORY YEAR FOR EUROPE TOO!

ARAB-SPRING AND EGYPT : RANDOM MUSINGS !
The Arab Spring Is Passing Through Its Wintery Days And That Augurs A Chaotic Arab World !
Egypt Has Thrown Results That Cast Shadow On The Success Of The Revolution That Overthrew One Of The Most Powerful Dictators In Modern Arab World,Mr.Hosni Mubarak And That Caught A Rather Unprecedented World Attention Which Was Sustained Till A Couple Of Months Ago!
Dictators Like Mubarak,Ben Ali,Gaddhafi Were Never So Much Theo-Centric And Had By n Large A Secular Governance!
Sadly,The Composition Of The Winning Alliances Post Free Elections, Is Deeply Colored With Islam(not true islam,but,the distorted variety).
Religion Is Being Forcibly Mixed With The Governance And,Without Doubts,Such Heady Cocktails Are Always Dangerous!
Muslim Brotherhood Has Taken The Place Of Hosni Mubarak In Terms Of Ignoring People's Opinions or Voice And, With An Extra Add-on In Form Of Shariah, It's Gonna Be More Lethal Than Mubarak !
Arab Spring Is Fast Loosing Much Of Its Shean And That's Sad For A Unique Revolution Like This !

PRESIDENT OBAMA CHOOSEN AS TIME MAGAZINE'S PERSON OF THE YEAR 2012 !
President Obama Declared The Winner Of Time Magazine's Highly Revered and At Times, Controversial Poll That Crowns Someone Who Impacts The Most In A Particular Year As 'TIME PERSON OF THE YEAR'.People Give Importance To Time Magazine's Choice Worldwide - Thanks To Time Magazine's International Standing !
Beating The Likes Of The Sensational Poster-Girl Of Protest Against The Repressive Regime,MALALA YOUSAFZAI and The Apple Inc.'s TIM COOK and The Egyptian Confused President,MUHAMMED MORSI and A Group Of Other Notables From The Entire World, OBAMA SHOWS THAT HE IS MOST IMPORTANT MAN,largely due to his second win of the us' presidency,AT LEAST FOR THE TIME BEING !
TIME Has Dwelt At Length On Obama's Seemingly Mega Win Of This November Presidential Election And Expressed Facts That Though Obama Won Two Less States Than In 2008, But, Still He Held To A Whopping Margin (Something That Was Quite Unexpected Given The Obiquitious Neck-a-Neck Fight With Mitt. Romney).
Time Magazine Also Highlighted Mr. Obama's Emotional-Quotient or E.Q. And Illustrated It With His Cries After His Second Term Win and His Speech Post Sandy Hook Massacre,CT !
Time Also Mutely Hinted Obama's Failures Of The Last Four Years And The Mounting Challenges That He Faces On Fiscal Management Coupled With A Growing Sense Of Despair Amongst The Work Force Who Continue To Grapple With The Basic Problems Like Jobs,Housing n Savings!
Obama Also Has Rather Bigger Challenges On International Front,especially,With The Burning n Instable Arab World n Israel.
Time Gave Huge Credit To Obama's Healthcare Policy Measures n His Below The Par,Yet, Sustained Efforts To Improvise The Economy !
IT IS A POPULAR SAYING : 'WINNERS TAKE ALL' and A SecondTerm Win Has Pushed Many A Failures Of Obama Under The Mat, But, It's Not The TIME MAGAZINES that will write history,Rather,IT'S THAT HORRIBLE UNIVERSAL CONCEPT (TIME) THAT SHALL BE THE ULTIMATE ARBITER !

OBAMA NOMINATES JOHN KERRY AS THE SECRETARY OF STATE !
President Obama Has Nominated Senator John Kerry As The Successor To Hillary Clinton For The Topmost Diplomatic Post of The Secretary Of State, A Short While Ago !
Sen. (D,Mass.), John Kerry Is Described As The Perfect Choice For The Secretary Of State, By Obama.
There Has Been A Lot Of Guess Works Doing The Round In Media That John Kerry Would Be The Most Suitable Choice For The Post After The Exit Of Susan Rice From The Race For The Much Coveted Cabinet Post.
Susan Rice,An Insider Of Obama's Personal Circle Was Being Touted As The Best Pick And People Started To Fancy Mrs. Rice As The Successor To Mrs. Clinton,But, Things Changed After A While And The Aggressive Disapproval Of Mrs. Rice Started To Surface From The Republicans Who Severely Criticized Mrs. Rice's Media Handling Of The September 11 Attack On American Diplomatic Enclave In Benghazi.
Mrs. Rice Had To Withdraw Citing Personal Opinions Vis-a-Vis The Post and The Process Of Ratification Required For The Appointment!
John Kerry Is 69 And Has Been A Congressman Since 1984 When He Fought For The Senate Seat From Massachusetts.
He Has Tremendous Experiences In Foreign Relations And Has Served The Senate Committee On Foreign Relations For Nearly 30yrs (The Last Six Years As The Chairman Of The Committee).
He Fought An Unsuccessful Bid For The Presidency In 2004 Against George Bush.
A Vietnam War Veteran, John Kerry Won Several Medals n Awards For His Bravery In The Vietnam War.Silver Medal, Bronze Medal and Three Purple Hearts Are Some Of The Important Awards!
Kerry,however,started to lead anti-war campaigns after returning from Vietnam And For That Account He Was Severely Criticized By The Republicans During His Presidential Campaign Of 2004.
Both,Mr.Obama n Hillary Clinton Have Praised Highly The Contributions John Kerry Effected In The Foreign Policymaking n International Relations!
Due To Kerry's Long Stay In The Congress And The Resultant Personal Relations ,It Is Expected That He Will Get A Rather Quick Congressional Approval !
Mr. Obama Went To The Extent Of Saying That Very Few People Knew As Many Presidents n Prime-Ministers As Kerry In The World !
Obama Kept Sending John Kerry As Special Envoy On His Behalf To The Various Parts Of The World For Salvaging Relationship n Tackling Challenges !
Experts Say John Kerry Played, On Many Occasions, The Role Of A 'TROUBLESHOOTER' For Obama Administration And Had Played Vital Role In Afghanistan n Pakistan !
With A Vast Plus Varied Experience In Public Life, John Kerry Might Play A More Influential Role In Obama-II.
Best Of Luck, John Kerry !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JANE AUSTEN !
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,JANE AUSTEN !
Today,The British Novelist Of Romantic Tales, Jane Austen, Would Have Been 237 !
She Was Born On This Day, Dec. 16, 1775 at Steventon,Hampshire,UK.
Jane Austen Had Lived For Only 41yrs and Authored 6 complete Novels n Two Half Finished.
She Remained Largely Anonymous During Her Lifetime As She Used To Pen Novels Without Disclosing Her Name As The Author Of Those Works And Had Preferred To Sign Them As 'BY A LADY' !
Only Four Novels Published During Her Lifetime : - 1. SENSE & SENSIBILITY 2. PRIDE & PREJUDICE 3. MANSFIELD PARK n 4. EMMA.
Two Of Her Novels Got Published Posthumously : - 1. PERSUASION n2. NORTHANGER ABBEY.
Apart From These Six Novels, Three Large Notebooks That Jane Had Been Updating During Her Adolescence And Early Youth , Are Quite A Good Source Of Information Regarding Jane Austen.
She Had Penned Countless Letters Addressed Mainly To Her Elder Sister,CASSANDRA, With Whom She Shared The Closest Bonding And To Her Brothers n Family Friends, Throw Good Lights On The Life n Works Of Jane Austen.
Jane Austen Was An Social n Cultural Enthusiast n Had Had A Great Fondness For Social Gatherings , Ball Dancing n Conversing About The Contemporary Events et.al ! We Find In Her Works A Rather Great Space Devoted To The Social Parties, Singing n Dancing!
LOVE,ROMANCE,COURTSHIP,MARRIAGE ARE THE EXCLUSIVE AUSTENITE THEMES THAT SHE KEPT DISCUSSING AND DETAILING . . ..but, ultimately conforming to the age specific stereotypes wherein Marriage Was The Sole Route For Women For Social Mobility !
Irony , Wit n Humor Do Sparkle InHer Works.
JANE AUSTEN PAINTS AN IDYLLIC SETTING WHERE PEOPLE COME AND COURT AND LOVE AND ROMANCE AND MAKE PROPOSALS FOR MARRIAGE. . . . .!
Almost All Of Her Works Have Been Adapted Many Times For Films n TV.-Miniseries !
Despite Limitations, JANE AUSTEN IS WIDELY READ TODAY AROUND THE GLOBE AND IS POPULAR SECOND TO NONE IN UK !

THE SANDY HOOK,NEWTOWN,CT MASSACRE AND THE RESPONSE THEREAFTER !
'' EVERY PARENT IN AMERICA HAS A HEART HEAVY WITH HURT ! ''
president Obama .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The Gun-Culture And The Craziness Of Indiscriminate Shootings Are Not New To The United States!There Has Repeatedly Been Massacres Reported In One Corner Or Other In The States And There Has Never Been Any Concerted Efforts Being Made In Order To Curb Such Mindless Shooting-Spree !
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IS A TOTAL FAILURE ON THIS ACCOUNT!
And, Such Inertia Of Failing To Build Up Any Effective MechanismTo Curb Such Horrific Incidents, Points The Lack Of Understanding, rather, Willingness To Tackle An Issue Of Such Urgency !
SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOLIn Newtown,Connecticut, Is Reportedly The Second Biggest Such Incident In American History Of Gun Violence And It Still Brings Nothing Specific Measures In Terms Of Policy Changes In Gun Licencing or Arms Acts !
President Obama Almost Broke Into Tears And Had To Take Pauses While Addressing The Nation During White House Briefing n Later In His Weekly Radio plus Internet Address.Obama Gave A Good,rather Proper Address Trying To Empathizing With The Grieving Families And Appealing To The Nation To Be United In Such Tragic Moments, But,There Was No Indication Regarding How To Tackle Such Tragedies In Future or How To Approach The Gun Laws Afresh !
TALKS WITHOUT ACTS IS FUTILE ! And,The First Man Who Expressed Anger On The Existing Schism Between Thoughts n Action, Is NY MAYOR,M.BLOOMBERG!
Obama Said : -
"We Grieve For The Families Of Those We Lost.And We Keep In Our Prayers The Parents Of Those Who Survived. Because As Blessed As They Are To Have Their Children Home, They Know That Their Child's Innocence Has Been Torn Away Far Too Early."
Adam Lenza Was Having 4 Guns ! More Guns Were Found In His House Where He Had Shot His Mother Dead Before Coming To The School n Forcing His Way Inside n Went On Killing Spree That Costed 26 Lives. . . .20 of Them Were Children ! All The Guns Were Issued In His Mother's Name !
How Many Guns Does A Man/Woman Need ?
Why Not Do Away With Such Individual Possession Of Firearms?
A Few Months Ago We Had A Dark Knight Shooting At A Theater In Colarado and A Mall Shooting In Oregaon,Shooting at Sikh Shrine. . . .etc. !
Virginia Tech Happened A Decade Ago And Since Then Countless Shootings Took Place Targeting Schools, Shopping Places, Religious Buildings , Theaters . ..et.al And After Every Such Incident We Hear Lots Of Emotional Pourings ,But, No Concrete Measures !
American Establishment Must Contemplate Over Such Acts Of Wanton Killings And Build Up Some Consensus In Order To Put An End To Such Mass Murders!
People Have This Fundamental Right To Live Safe n Fearless And Such Acts Repeatedly Erode People's Faith In The Governance And Encroach Upon Their Basic Human Rights To Live In A Place Where The Mind Is Without Fear !
IT'S HIGH TIME TO WAKE UP LEAVING THE INERTIA OF NOT DOING ANYTHING !
MAY ALMIGHTY GIVE STRENGTH TOTHE GRIEVING FAMILIES TO OVERCOME THIS HUGE LOSS AND TO MOVE AHEAD !
Amen!

TWO YEARS OF THE 'ARAB-SPRING' !
In a couple of days, the unique event of the arab-world, popularly known as 'arab-spring', will mark its second birthday.But, unlike any other birthdays,it will have nothing specific to cheer about except its growth from its infancy to its childhood !
TIME MOVES ,YET, REMAINS STAND-STILL !
On 17th of december 2010, a young vendor named Mohamed Bouazizi set himself aflame and died a few days later in a hospitalin the central town of Tunisia, Sid-Bouezid.The young vendor,a poor man,had for long been tolerating the excesses committed by the authorities i.e. By Local Police.When his patience worn thin and he had no gateway visible for getting his grievances redressed, he set himself on fire. . . . . In A Last Effort To Preserve Self-respect !
That Single Incident Became A Rallying Point For Countless Commoners Across Tunisia And The Collective Protests Suddenly Erupted Engulfing Every Corner OfTunisia. Tunisians Got Themselves United Against The Oppressive Regime Of The Dictator Ben Ali. And, The Protests Became So Stronger That The Despotic Ruler,Ben Ali, Had To Flee ! Within A Few Months A Fresh Election Took Place And A New Interim Government Came To Power With Uphill Tasks Of Drafting A Constitution And Ameliorating The Economic Conditions.
Those Who Came To Power Via Free Election, Were, Mostly, Hardliner Islamists, Politically Under The Ennahda-Party ! There Were Fears Of Turning Tunisia,a largerly liberal country - thanks to its proximity to the european nations, Into A Theocratic Country Instead Of A Democratic Nation That The Revolution Aspired For ! These Fears Were Allayed By The Hardliners While They Were Still Under Campaigning , Telling People Not To Worry As It Would Do Its Best To Protect n Preserve The Democratic Principles, Secularism,Human Rights. . . .et.al !
After Being In Power For A Couple Of Months, The Islamists Started To Turn The Clock Back By Imposing Harsher Norms And Slaying Every Voice Of Dissent.
There Has Not Been Any Tangible Progress On The Economic Front And The Young Populace Feel Utterly Cheated And The Overall Scenario In Tunisia Is That Of Despair , Disillusionment, Distress n Deprivation!
In These Two Years, The Cradle Of The 'ARAB-SPRING' , TUNISIA, Has Witnessed Nothing Worthwile Gains Except A Replacement In The Ruling Elites !
The Revolution Is Only Half Way Through And If Current Scenario Are Of Any Suggestions Then It May Be More Likely That The Revolution will have to re-start all over again !
( To BeContinued. . .)

EGYPTIAN CONUNDRUM GETS MORE MESSIER AS MORSI REMAINS INSENSITIVE !
The Political Storm Kickstarted By President Morsi Assuming Extraordinary Powers Later Compounded By The Rushed Draft Constitution Slated To Go For The People's Vote On Dec 15, Shows Little Chance Of Calm And An Abundance Of Confusion !
As Per The Presidential Announcement Of A Dialogue With The Opposition Members Slated For Yesterday(Saturday) Is Concerned, There Was Not Any Such Comprehensive Talks Reported So Far !
The Various Opposition Groups Unified Under The Umbrella Of 'National Salvation Front' Led By The Three Well Recognized Figures,namely, Muhammed El-bardei, Amr Moussa And Hamadeen Sabahi , Has Bycotted Any Such Dialogue With Mr. Morsi Till Morsi Revokes His Decree And Postpones The Referendum !
Initially, Morsi Appeared Adamant Over Such Pre-Conditions And Had Instead Some Sort Of Concessions In Way Of Preponement Of His Decree! Morsi Had Outlined Last Month, When He Took To Himself Extraordinary Powers, That His Powers Would Come To The Normal Level After The Making Of The Constitution And The Election Of The Parliament.But, Now He Reportedly Said He Would Drawdown His Powers After The Plebiscite Itself, Irrespective Of Its Ayes Or Nays !
Morsi,however,didn't show any willingness of any deferrment of the date of the Plebiscite !
As Per The Al-Ahram News, Mr. Morsi Also Hinted That He Might Go For Martial-Rule Given The Present Scenario Full Of Political Divisions , Clashes And Bloodsheds ! Morsi's Such Hint Is Symbolic Of His Helplessness And Failures In Matters Largely Political !
Given Such Prop, The Armed Forces That Had Its Hey Day During Post Mubarak Era Till This Year's Election In June, Has Posted A Brief On Some State News Sites Telling Its Importance In Matters n Times Of National Crisis And Its Onus To Rein In Civil-Unrests Plus General Upheavals Of National Implications. The Armed Forces,However, Also Cautioned The People And Politicians That There's Only One Way Out Of The Crisis : Dialogue ! It Said If Any Other Medium Be Resorted To Salvage The Present Conundrum, Egypt Will Slide Into A 'DARK TUNNEL' !
Just A Few Hours Ago Reports In Al-Arabiya English Suggest That Muhammed Morsi Expressed His Desire To Postpone The December 15 Referendum Date ! This Is Contrary To The Earlier Report !
So , Now Morsi Has Accepted The Main Demands Of The Oppositions : Changes In The Draft Constitution n The Postponement Of The Referendum Date !
It Will Be Clearer After Sometime Whether The National Salvation Front Is Going To Yield Now And Enter Into Negotiations For A Consensus,if any for the time being,at least ! !

It Said If Any Other Medium Be Resorted To Salvage The Present Conundrum, Egypt Will Slide Into A 'DARK TUNNEL' !
Just A Few Hours Ago Reports In Al-Arabiya English Suggest That Muhammed Morsi Expressed His Desire To Postpone The December 15 Referendum Date ! This Is Contrary To The Earlier Report !
So , Now Morsi Has Accepted The Main Demands Of The Oppositions : Changes In The Draft Constitution n The Postponement Of The Referendum Date !
It Will Be Clearer After Sometime Whether The National Salvation Front Is Going To Yield Now And Enter Into Negotiations For A Consensus,if any for the time being,at least ! !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RAINER MARIA RILKE,THE GREAT GERMAN POET !
(1.)'' Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.''
(2.)'' A good marriage is one in which each partner appoints the other to be the guardian of his/her solitude. ''
(3.)'' Let everything happen to you :
Beauty and terror !
Just keep going.
No feeling is final ! ”
Rainer Maria Rilke.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Rainer Maria Rilke,The Great German Language Poet, Would Have Been 137 Today.
Rilke Is Unanimously Considered As One Of The Greatest Lyrical Poets Of The Last Century And Certainly The GREATEST German Lyrical Poet !
Born On December 4 , 1875 In Prague, Rilke Started Composing Poems Since The Age Of Nineteen, However With Little Appreciation From The Literary Circle .
Rilke Had To Spend Much Of His Childhood In Loneliness As His Parents Seperated When Rilke Was Only Nine And That Sense Of Alienation And Sadness Had Had A Considerable Impact Upon His Later Life And Works.
He Had A Fine Grip Over Poetry and Prose As His Writings Have A Musical Touch And That Is What He Has Always Be Held In Great Esteem.Rilke's Mature Works Appeared After His Trip To Russia With Lou Salome,a senior lady who helped and encouraged Rilke to write.He met Tolstoy and other artists in Russia And Was Highly Impressed With The Russian Culture.After Returning From Russia, He Produced Two Notable Poetry Books Namely, THE BOOK OF HOURS and THE BOOK OF IMAGES .Rilke Also Penned A Story book, STORIES OF GOD -- largely influenced by Tolstoy's Mysticism.
Rilke Was Sort Of A Dissatisfied Soul And He Kept Exploring People n Places All Through His Life.For Him, Having Memories Of Things Are Not The Only Important Part In Creation, But, That Memories Must Be Erased And This Erasing Comes Only When A Creative Soul Depicts Them Into A Piece Of Art In Its Entirety With The Help Of His Experiences !
Rilke Was Master Of Objectifying Emotions And His Passion For Infusing Vitality In Every Physical Things Was Quite An Innovative Way Of Expression And For That The Essence Was More Important Than The Structure Or The Physical Dimensions.Such Portrayal Of 'THE ESSENCE OF THE CONCENTRATED THING' Is Often Refered As 'OBJECT/THING POEM' .
Rilke Toured Spain,Germany,Italy,France,Sweden,North Africa And Switzerland And Had Long Sojourn In Paris And Switzerland.
He Had Worked As The Secretary To The Renown French Painter,AUGUSTE RODIN and Had Married One Of Rodin's Disciples,CLARA WOSTHOF .He Had Numerous Affairs But All Were Shortlived .
It Is Said That Rilke Used To Court A Lady And Then Wrote Love Letters And When The Beloved Came Too Near, Rilke Started To Move Away !
'LETTERS OF A YOUNG POET' Has Something In This Regard : Rilke Used To Say To His Beloved - 'IF YOU LOVE ME ,THEN YOU SHOULD ALSO LOVE MY SOLITUDE ! '
Rilke Wrote Two Rather Long Poems ,One Dealing With The Themes Of Joy, Affirmation And The Other With Sadness n Death or Loss n Pain.
'DUINE'S ELEGIES' n 'SONNETS TO ORPHEUS' are Rilke's Masterpieces,both appeared in the same year , 1923. Sonnets Deals With Happier Themes Whereas Elegies Are Full Of Sad n Pessimistic Tenor !
Rilke Died At The Age Of 51 In Switzerland Where He Had Been Living In A Castle Given Free By A Countess Of Thurn.Rilke Died Of Leukeimia.
His Works Have Lasting Effects In Modern World Literature.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RILKE !
'' THE ONLY JOURNEY IS THE ONE WITHIN ! ''

NEW FINDINGS SUGGEST WATER-ICE ON MERCURY !
Science Always Surprises In Its Beginning (at least) !We Have Learned The Other Day That 'WATER-ICE' Could Exist And, That Too, In Abundance, On The Warmest Of Surfaces !Yes, The Smallest, The Closest(to Sun) And The Warmest Of All Planets, MERCURY Has Multi Millions Tons Of Water Ice ! The Special Spacecraft, MESSENGER (MErcury Surface Space ENvironment GEochemistry and Ranging ) Sent Last Year In March By NASA, Has Sent Plenty Of Information N Data In Support Of The Hitherto Held WATER HYPOTHESIS ON MERCURY.
A Team Of Expert Scientists Hailing From NASA, UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APPLIED PHYSICS LABARATORY(APL),UNIV. Of CALIFORNIA,LOS ANGELES(UCLA),JOHNS HOPKINS UNIV. . . .et.al Have Been Analyzing The Findings And Have Come To The Conclusion That The Warm Planet Has Evidence Of Tons Of Ice Trapped In Polar Craters,Especially On The North Pole Of Mercury !
IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT SCIENTISTS HAVE OBSERVED THIS UNUSUAL THING !
In 1970s n 90s ,Lots Of Radar Mappings Were Done Which Had Shown Places Of 'BRIGHT PATCHES' On The Surface Of Mercury. But, Those Findings Were Not Strong Enough To Be Conclusive!
This Time The Evidence Is Technically Stronger Due To The Equipments Applied For Mapping The Topography Of The Smallest Planet,MERCURY -That Makes A Round Of The Sun In Merely 88 Days!
Advanced ALTIMETERS Were Used That Is Based Upon Laser Techniques For A Clear, Closer n In-Depth Mapping Through The Use Of Millions Of Laser Pulses!
The Second Equipment In Probe Was NEUTRON SPECTROMETER For Detecting The Presence Of Hydrogen And Hence The Possibility Of Water !
Both The Equipments Have Sent Countless Images And Data That Have Come In Handy For Reaching The Conclusion.
One Of The Vital Findings Was To Measure The Surface REFLECTANCE To Verify The Nature Of Reflection Plus The Penetration Of Sun Rays !
Along With The White(Bright) Patches, There Is Another Kind Of Spots : The Black or Dark Patches !The Concerned Scientists Have Concluded These Dark Patches As Places Of Complex Carbonic Materials , Which Might Have, As They Guessed, Been Due To The Attacks Of Comets n Asteroids On The Mercury Surface In Due Course Of Time!
The Tilt Of Mercury Is Less Than 1-degree And That Makes Its Rotation In Such A Way That Some Areas Of The Polar Regions Do Not See The Light Of Day And These Areas Have Sufficient Ice That Might Be Helpful In Explaining And Understanding The Origin Of Life On Our Planet !
Good Luck To The Involved Scientists n Institutions !
