Just another little video capturing the transient life of these plant life. Even as their beauty, when resonates and conveys feelings of joy within us humans, is already fading. Please take a look and have a listen, and, if any of it touches you, then, do enjoy!

Imran Khan has indicated that he will be setting up a government which endeavour to govern on behalf and for all the people of Pakistan.  And would be seeking to resolved long established conflicts and tensions with Pakistan's neighbours, including India, with which Pakistan has been fighting over Kashmir for the past 60 or so years.  The Kashmir Jamu conflict is, of course, an extremely complex one.  One which it is difficult to imagine that the all powerful and omnipotent Pakistan army, and the religious and sectarian extremists, would allow a civilian government  to resolve in an amicable manner. There is or has been some concerns that Imran Khan and his PTI party (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf) are being 'sponsored' by the Pakistan army.  An army which, like the Egyptian army and the Myanmar army, allow civilian government govern or appear to govern the country on their behalf.  Pakistan has had populist governments in the past, with the Bhutto dynasty pro

If the world's media is to be believed, Imran Khan's PTI Party has won the recent general elections in Pakistan, and will, in due course, become the next Prime Minister of that country. Imran Khan was a successful cricketer before he became the soon to be declared Prime Minister of Pakistan. In the past, he had been a successful cricketer and leader of his country's national team. And now, after a couple of decades after he has entered into the rather turgid, tribalistic, religious and corrupt political system in Pakistan.  And has gone through a period of gestation, making him a seasoned politician.  Imran Khan has now achieved the esteemed and privileged position of being on his way to becoming his country's Prime Minister. Imran Khan has already declared himself and his political party the winner in the elections.  Although this is only in the sense of his PTI party being the one with the a majority, though not absolute majority, of the elected parli

Even though it nothing to do with God, and everything to do with Team Mercedes, Bottas and Hamilton and their cars putting in commanding and synchronising performances.   Assisted by the intervention of fortuitous events which assisted their goal.  Let anybody who would disagree with me on the logic of not thanking God for Mercedes' triumph.  Because, if Hamilton is to thank God for his good fortune, then, what should Vettel's reaction be? Explain the lack of any morality or altruism in destroying Vettel's progress towards winning the race, so that Hamilton's chances could be improved and him ultimately triumphing?  It is somewhat like saying 'my God  is better than your God', or 'my prayers have been heard, but not yours.' But so much for philosophising.  A Very Big Congratulation to Team Mercedes, and Hamilton and Bottas, and to Kimi Raikkonen and Team Ferrari, for having taken their places on the Podium of the German Grand Prix

But, we might contemplate, if god has fated or not prevented our friend or our loved one, from having to suffer in the manner they are suffering.   What reassurance can we have that god would treat us any more compassionately than god has treated or allowed our friend or relative to be treated by fate? Yes, none. There can be no guarantees or reassurance that God would treat us more mercifully than our loved ones who are being put to the sword of suffering.  Of course, how could it or why should it be otherwise? Why would a loving God spare us from the terrible fate which has befallen our relative, our friend, or even the stranger?  Are we more desirable of his mercy and his compassion? Are we more angelic, altruistic and compassionate than the other person?  Are we God's favourite, or someone who has done great works for which we are being or will be rewarded?  Or is it the case that we have more influence on what we perceive as the ability of God to d

'The essentials', or 'the basics', are terms which are relative to your socio-economic' status in life; they are not absolute terms which apply in every situation. Of course, it is also the case that the Americans, in order to realise the achievement of the 'PLLAH',  have acquired the reputation for being Calvinistic in their work ethic.  Including many of them doing many jobs or combining study with working, in their attempt to earn as much as they can.  To avail themselves of the material accoutrements of the illusive pursuit of what is, in effect, 'the American dream.'  All in pursuance of the myth, for the majority, the improbable belief that, if you work hard enough, you can achieve anything in America and rise to fill any post or position. Which, of course, is patently not the case, as it is not given to everybody and anybody in America to realise the dream of becoming 'anybody' they want to become.  Not onl

Thereby placing himself in the best position to capitalising on Vettel's mistake, when it presented itself. Team Mercedes and Hamilton and Bottas had done well in choosing and deploying their race strategy during the race.  With probably their most serious mistake being around the confusion which led to Hamilton being told to box his car for a tyre change.   Only to decide to abort the manoeuvre after having already taken the pit lane.  A move for which Mercedes was given a reprimand after the race, and one for which some fans felt Hamilton should have been given a penalty.  For what they claim is inconsistency in the FIA's application of the rules, and favouritism towards Mercedes.  Of course, the German Grand Prix of 2018 was like no other Grand Prix. It has proven itself to have been a unique event.  So much so that people should not blind themselves to the need for some discretion in dealing with what might appear to have been similar situati

So, what do us humans desire, aspire towards most? Is it to be able to have enough to eat and drink, and a comfortable place to sleep and live in?  Yes, no! Might it then be to have a job, any job, or, where there are loads of jobs to be had, to get the best job we are able to get, whatever that is?   Or might it be to be able to stay healthy, where we are already in good health. Or, should we be unfortunate enough to be enduring poor health, to acquire good health? Yes, probably. However, if, like the Americans, we are blessed, probably, with the dubious but grandiose Constitutional proclamation about the 'pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.'   Then, our aspirations might be more than striving for the basics in life on the hierarchy of needs tree.  Of course, it might be the case that, for many, if not most of us humans, having access to the basics is enough to make us 'happy.'   After all, there is really no denying the evidence of our

It is the case that humans, all humans, have a common destiny, in that we all suffer the same end.  But it is different with our fate, in that we oftentimes do not know or have any control over the day to day events, both 'good' and 'bad.'   Which. befalls us, as we are catapulted or gradually gravitate towards our destiny. And so it was, that on Saturday, it was the stars of Sebastian Vettel and Team Ferrari which were in the ascendancy. While Lewis Hamilton's and Team Ferrari's were tumbling out of the Sky.  Whereas on  Sunday's German Grand Prix at the Hockenheim Circuit, it had all turned around.  With Team Mercedes' and Hamilton's and Bottas' stars glowing ever so radiantly over Hockenheimring.  Even as Vettel's and Team Ferrari's laid crumpled in the sandpit, where Vettel's car came to a halt.  As it veered of the circuit; powered by driver's error, as Vettel had made one of those costly errors h
