what goes around comes around.
the world is fair and just.
what you do in life will be judged.
we believed so.
when we saw people did bad things and there is no retribution for them as they are still as happy as they are.
that was when we are young.
we did not know the path that they have chosen and they are hiding their unfavorable things and put a smile which people assumed that they are alright but in fact it was not.
things are superficial on the surface.
what lies beneath counts.
lost and found
and in the end, we found one seller for the same model and tested the set: it is working but the external appearances are dirty and full of scratches.
one consolation is that the second set is better than the first one as we found that the first one was just too noisy. it was not well taken care.
for the second set, the plug was faulty and hence it was not used for sometime.

Manstein Plan
Five panzer divisions of Panzergruppe von Kleist advanced through the Ardennes, XIX Panzer Corps with three panzer divisions on the southern flank towards Sedan, against the French Second Army and the XLI Panzer Corps with two panzer divisions on the northern flank, towards Monthermé, against the French Ninth Army.
XV Corps moved through the upper Ardennes towards Dinant with two panzer divisions, as a flank guard against a counter-attack from the north. From 10–11 May, XIX Panzer Corps engaged the two cavalry divisions of the Second Army, surprised them with a far larger force than expected and forced the French back.
The Ninth Army to the north had also sent its two cavalry divisions forward, which were withdrawn on 12 May, before they met German troops. Corap needed the cavalry divisions to reinforce the defences on the Meuse, because some of its infantry had not arrived.
The most advanced German units reached the Meuse in the afternoon. Local French commanders thought that the German parties were far ahead of the main body and would wait for it, before trying to cross the Meuse.
From 10 May, Allied bombers had been sent to raid northern Belgium to delay the German advance, while the First Army moved up but attacks on the bridges at Maastricht had been costly failures, 135 RAF day bombers being reduced to 72 operational aircraft by 12 May.[6]
Against the plan, Guderian and the other panzer generals, Rommel among them, disobeyed orders and quickly advanced to the English Channel.
The panzer forces captured Abbeville and fought the Battle of Boulogne and the Siege of Calais, only temporarily being halted by Hitler on 17, 22 and 24 May, then advancing again and fighting the Battle of Dunkirk. The effects of the Manstein Plan were devastating for the Allied armies, as they were encircled by Army Groups A and B, leading to Operation Dynamo, the evacuation from Dunkirk.
The losses in the north and resulting lack of mobile reserves led to the defeat of the remaining French and British forces and the fall of France.[

In your brain, there are circuits that promote mind-wandering and they are not all bad. In fact, these very circuits help you maintain a sense of self, understand what others are thinking more accurately, become more creative, and even predict the future. Without your mind-wandering circuits, your brain’s ability to focus would become depleted, and you would be disconnected from yourself and others too.

Last Sunday night was a dark night. I woke in the dark, thinking dark thoughts, unable to stop my mind from wandering the shadowy paths of self-condemnation. I lay awake,
- Remembering my unfulfilled promises to my kids when they were young,
- Regretting my mistakes made as a boss to good employees,
- Wondering if my life had made any difference for good in the world.
Sunrise came. I stretched and tried to shake off the phantom spirits of despondency. I looked for something to cheer me, something to help me forget the darkness.
words of wisdom:
Keep it real. Be yourself. Learn from your mistakes.
You should not give up and be happy with whatever chances given to you.
You may not be the best all the time, but you should give it a hundred per cent.
I know it’s very tiring and difficult.
And it even gets depressing sometimes.
But you have to believe that after today, tomorrow will be better. You may not get the best roles, neither will you (always) get the jobs you want to do. But that is the process that will make you become a better you
(Over the years), I’ve learnt that not all friendships are lasting.
And that you cannot force people to be friends with you. Chemistry and communication between friends are very important.
Because of my job, I don’t really have time to make a lot of friends so most of them are from the industry. And I’m very lucky to have met and made a lot of good friends here. I find that to keep friendships strong and lasting, respect and confidentiality are most important.

UKRAINIAN GIRL
I’ve been dating a Ukrainian girl for about one year now. Throughout this time, I’ve learned a lot. Things that I assumed about relationships have been proven false. Issues that arose from my relationships with Western girls have been absent with the Ukrainian. Overall, my outlook has changed drastically.
This is for many reasons. The overall attitudes and mannerisms of women in Eastern Europe are drastically different. In some areas my expectations have been exceeded, but I keep myself grounded. But probably the biggest thing is that they’re actually pleasant and intelligent . With that being said, here are three things I’ve learned and observed from dating a Ukrainian girl for the last year.
1. Relationships Are Valued
The point is, relationships with an Eastern European girl are valued. An Eastern European girl isn’t going to get shamed because she got into a committed relationship with a guy after dating him for two months. She isn’t going to hide you from her friends as long as possible—she’s going to want you to meet them and see if they approve. Same goes for parents (albeit that seems to come later).
2. A Curiosity To Learn
There is an innate curiosity about the world. A desire to learn and to broaden her intellectual capacity.
A perfect example is this: I’ve recently been assigning her weekly articles to write about for my small niche website about Ukraine. Last week, she made her first ever sale from online business—a whopping $2.30. Despite the low number, the look of elevation and accomplishment is just something I never saw on the face of a Western girl. They all seemed far more interested in just watching reality television.
3. A Desire To Please, But…
Simply put, girls in Eastern Europe want to please their guy. However, they manage to do this while still being reasonably independent.

sad
our dearest colleague was being served with written warning letter for the work performances.
we called our colleague and was told that everything was alright.
but come Tuesday, everything changes and our colleague did not sign the letter.
it will be referred to HR and the director for the final outcome.
it is serious indeed.

things happen for reason
god's ways are higher than our ways and we knew that it could not be explained.
the recent change in us is good which made us realized that we have been a fool those days.
now we are being free and glad that we have made the decision, whether it is right or wrong.

It could be worse
Mother had a fall last Saturday and fortunately the new helper was there to help her to the bed.
We have assumed that her buttock was the hardest area to be Hitt but 3 days later we found out that her left face was fracture and blood was found at her neck area.
She was alright, much to our relief.
We will monitor the progress.
