Makes Me Think

The days just seem to keep passing me by with nothing truly fruitful to show. And then I come across something that makes me wonder just where I am going, what I want to do and why I continue to delude myself by making excuses.

Sometimes, we just need a kick on our rear to put things in perspective.

 I came across this wonderful project, "The Dirty Wall" which inspired me enough to share it with you.

Kane Ryan and his project have managed to transform a pocket of the slum in Saki Naka, creating a playground from a garbage dump and expand a 140 square feet classroom into a 700 square foot two-storey school with 12 computers! 

Kane Ryan goes back to Canada for 2 to 3 months to earn the money for this and then comes back and works in India for  6 months. 

I guess when you truly feel passionate enough about something you find the will to do it!

To contact Ryan, email him on  dirtywallproject@gmail.com or visit dirtywallproject.com

Did you know that the peace sign is actually a symbol for "Nuclear Disarmament" ? I didn't!

The peace sign symbol has the semaphoric symbols which denote the letter "N" and "D" for "Nuclear Disarmament" in it !

Semaphore Flags is the system for conveying information at a distance by means of visual signals with hand-held flags, rods, disks, paddles, or occasionally bare or gloved hands. Information is encoded by the position of the flags; it is read when the flag is in a fixed position. It was used by ships as a means of communication.

The Semaphore Flag System for 'D' is :

and the Semaphore Flag symbol for 'N' is :
