Though I am not feeling good at the moment, I don't want to miss this chance to wish you dear, because your friendship is sooooo precious to me! I know you can't go out due to Cold weather, so this is just for you, I have switched on this TV... Have FUN... 
I am happy today, when I got message of CONGRATS from BFC for this design, which I have created using MS Paint and Power Point, as I don't have Photoshop. Anyways I had tried first time as a participant in this first ART Challenge by BFC. I am happy that I will be a small part of BFC’s work. This Blogging for CHARITY is a kind of virtual foundation but works for REAL needy people in outside world. I first came to know about her through my best friend Nicholas V. as I was reading his blogs and saw his work for BFC. The same day I became her friend and started reading the blogs of folks involving in this work. I loved the concept and the work my friends were doing. But as you know, being over curious, I wanted to know about BFC. … Because I had got mail from unknown ID about blogging for money, after I became a friend of BFC. I generally don’t give my ID to all… Very limited people know my ID so I was little hesitant after getting that mail. But I talked with another 360 friend about this (which I always do when get confused… as I do feel having RIGHT to irritate her by my logical as well as illogical talks … SORRY EMY for it…LOL. but I think you understand this.)
Anyways, I just want to tell you here or REQUEST YOU ALL, to join BFC and help my friend to help all NEEDY PEOPLE (INCLUDING CHILDREN) through this charity work. So folks ADD yourself to my friend “BLOGGING FOR CHARITY†and help US TO HELP OTHERS… THANKING YOU ALL… A BIG HUG.
Finally, I thank, my best buddy Brian too for his help & unconditional support, when I needed it most! I am thankful to GOD, who has given me friend like him as well as all of you…When I started writing this blog I was very happy but I had to left this blog in between for other commitments & see I completed it to post but now I am sad & very disturbed… So sorry I have to wind up here itself. I am NOT posting this ART SUNDAY BLOG.…SORRY MY FRIENDS. BYE & TAKE CARE.
February 14, 2007—Despite losing one of its most popular cameras last month, the Hubble Space Telescope is still proving its worth, capturing a new round of awe-inspiring images with its remaining camera.
On Tuesday NASA released this new shot of a dying star—a white dwarf shown as a bright dot near the center of nebula NGC 2440—that was once similar to our sun.
Low- to medium-size stars like our sun usually end their lives as white dwarfs. Once most of a star's hydrogen has been converted to helium, the star enters the red giant phase, eventually expelling its outer material to form a nebula of stellar debris. The hot core left behind is a white dwarf.
Spied by the telescope's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2, this white dwarf is 4,000 light-years from Earth. It is also one of the hottest known, with a surface temperature of nearly 400,000°F (200,000°C). Ultraviolet light from the dying star is illuminating gaseous material being cast off from the star's core.
Our sun will also likely burn out and become a white dwarf surrounded by a vivid nebula—but not for another five billion years.

"IM"ing
I am sure all you know the term "IM"ing ( Instant messaging) if anybody doesn't know this term, then also I am sure he/she must be knowing Messenger service or Chatting online terms for the same! I was reading newspaper today morning and saw that corporate world (companies) is also in favor of using "IM"ing at work place, as it is all are using it already and found it an easiest & fastest way of communication !
(yep, faster than e-mails... which are currently used as an official way of communication) ! I also have no doubt about it's being the fastest medium but I want to talk about IM abbreviation or use of Slang lingo while communicating through IM….
As we all know that “IMâ€ing is more popular with youngsters (including us of course! 
) and I even had read somewhere (newspaper or online news) that American students are using chatting lingo in their exams or studies/homework too ! Now many students do not even know the correct spellings of many simple words...(why only students? You can see that here at 360 too 
) Just because they are using chatting lingo most of the time. Students are using words like “ain’tâ€, “b4â€, “2†“BRB†“wata†“OMG†“LOL†“LMAO†etc etc in their essays too! So should this chatting lingo allowed to use in schools and colleges? In this case, all teachers (mostly older age) as well as parents will have to go for training to learn chatting lingo / Slang lingo because I think that is the easiest way to sort out this issue as children are more in numbers compare to teachers & parents… so educating them will be more beneficial?! So that day is not so far when we will see the IM language (including Slang) will be a part of academic syllabus and there will be “MUST KNOW†condition for getting any future jobs in the market! 
Today parents are getting crazy about these coded words used by teens…
and thank GOD, Ryan Jones, a Software Engineer and Freelance writer from Michigan started this website called No Slang.com in 2005 ! 
Yep, I have found this site while surfing one day to find the meanings of some slang words used in blogs here at 360! I have found some favorite codes of teens too which I have posted above as a picture. I have heard of slang dictionary too so I tried to search it and yes, here it is as ONLINE SLANG DICTIONARY ! 
Now think about the future when the ORIGINAL ENGLISH ( OOPS, who said “what is that?†) whether it is British English or American English… ( Is this right? I used to think like this before joining 360…) will vanish soon and this IM language (including slang too!) will be an official International language of communication… Will you like to see this happen in real after say 4-5 years from now? What do you say about all this?
NOTE : I lost this blog two times while posting…! Now if I lose this third time, I’m going to post You Tube video…. This blogging at 360 uhh…Enough is enough…!!
HA!!!
Art that Inspires the Soul! Just two days before, I saw a beautiful blog at my friend Joy’s page about an artist & art from Chandigarh, India…. I was happy to see that she posted that blog with so many details that I also did not know : p.
By the way, today I am going to post a unique artist called Sara O’Vivian! When I was surfing the net at the time of Valentine’s Day, this “ MOST SIMPLE YET MOST BEAUTIFUL Valentine†attracted me so much that very moment I decided that my next art Sunday blog will be about this artist… So here we go…. About ARTIST : Sara O’Vivian is a versatile artist and author. She paints in a variety of styles and media, including Impressionism in oils, Surrealism in mixed media, and brush and ink. She has developed her own unique styles of art, and she also enjoys painting in traditional styles. O'Vivian holds degrees in Psychology and Sociology, and has long been fascinated by spiritual psychology, the human condition, and the seemingly universal quest for a more meaningful existence. These elements invariably find their way into most of her writing and art. She lives in Seattle, Washington.
Hey guys, I think it\u2019s better to see all her work with titles....because my words will finish & I will not be able to describe her completely, yeah, she is just AMAZING ! This blog is taken from internet but DO visit the following links too\u2026

)This blog is my first try for "BLOGGING FOR CHARITY"! I don't know how much successful I am designing this cover of the book of blogging for charity.... because I don't have any software ( like photoshop etc..) loaded on my pc. So I tried my best to make it by using MS Paint & Power Point. I LOVE TO CREATE & I enjoyed doing this so much that I did not know when night was over... LOL YES, I did not sleep at all yesterday night...
but it is NOT new...few of my friends know about this sillyness of mine...! 
Though my friend had asked me to make one cover design, I thought I should make more using different colors.... So that they can have choice to choose one of it at least. BECAUSE I have used ONLY ONE THEME as EARTH, PEN & HELPING HANDS" !!! So I will leave this upto you, CHOOSE whichever you like and please vote for THE BEST at this link & PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS TOO, TO VOTE FOR THE BEST ... Thanks --- "BLOGGING FOR CHARITY"
BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO HELP THOSE NEEDY PEOPLE..!!! THANKING YOU IN ANTICIPATION. LOVE YOU ALL...
As per my knowledge, today is an INTERNATIONAL PEACE DAY too..! My favorite GREETING CARD site www.123greetings.com also says the same! Editor BOB of this site is doing GREAT WORK, he always sends me reminders of these days... :) GOD BLESS HIM!!!
Just a little before, I was reading Nick's blog, and hey, HE HAS WRITTEN AN EXCELLENT BLOG.... My thoughts are SAME... Do visit his blog today! Personally speaking I never celebrated this day in my ENTIRE LIFE till today... but today I want to celebrate it VIRTUALLY.. :) As my Google search says today is International Peace Day, I am loving EVEN MORE & FEELING MORE CHARGED for this celebration. As I told my friend Monica also, that today at least DON'T say you are Hindu, you are Muslim, you are Christian or you are Sikh OR you are an Indian, you are an American, you are an Australian, you are an Italian... we all know, who belongs to which place... But today I want to forget ALL INVISIBLE BOUNDARIES made by US... GOD has not given us EARTH in pieces; we are making it into pieces slowly & steadily.... Agony is that today we say, if we need peace, be ready for war... !!!
But see we like-minded people has found our way… this VIRTUAL WORLD of Internet, where thankfully NO INVISIBLE LINES TO DIVIDE US… We can be ONE WORLD, ONE UNIVERSE in true sense… Let it be like this FOREVER!
Even in future, our rulers try to divide this too, I will say only this ---- LET US COME TOGETHER TODAY & TAKE AN OATH THAT NOBODY CAN DIVIDE OUR HEARTS, NOBODY CAN DRAW THAT INVISIBLE IN OUR HEARTS…WE ARE ALL HUMAN BY RACE, HUMANITY IS OUR RELIGION & WE WILL REMAIN LIKE THIS FOREVER…..
