The best visionary in the world:Arthur C. Clarke
Ever thought about who was the best visionary in the world?The best visionary in the world, contemporarily speaking was Arthur C. Clarke, who died on 20th March' 2008. Decades ago, he had stated about how satellite television would invade everyone’s homes, how one will be able to get in touch with each other through a computer and how telephones would change the world around you.

He had also stated that Artificial Intelligence will attain human levels by 2020.
My experience with the softball
"I got interested in softball thanks to a hard nut, my sister". She was a firebrand lady who would always egg me for a game of softball, after I would come from the school. She wanted me to leave the TV for some time and come out to practice for an hour. Just to make her feel good, I would give in. After having my first swing (with the bat, of course) at the age of seven, I became hooked to the game.
I remember being asked by one of my fans, as a child what did I like the most about the softball. I told her batting was the best part because it made me run. I could simply run with the game when I batted! It was just yesterday when I played the game as I perched as a pitcher. Now this is really a tough call because one irresponsible swing from the batter could change the topography of your face and body. Since you are very close to the batter, you have to be careful at every step. Nevertheless it is more thrilling than playing second base, which I am normally at.
I clearly remember my first hit on a competitive arena. I do have a photo of the 'picture-perfect' hit. As I took my stand in the batters' box, I remember the ball, looking as big as a grapefruit coming toward me. I could hear my sister yelling at the top of her voice, in the background, "Focus. Move a little forward."
She had told me that if I did not know where to stand in the batters box, then I am out for sure. I don't know what prompted me go after the ball but as I saw it coming on to me, I knew I had to take my chance. No more did I hear my sister persistent groaning, I just saw the ball in front of my eyes and gave it a sharp whack, as soon as the ball rose an inch off the ground. The hit won me accolades and my sister treated me with a mouthwatering fruit cake.
Now fruit cake is my weakness. I knew that I would get to lay hands on the fruit cake only if I play, and play well. I guess you must be thinking we are quite a sporty family. Yes we are, because my family had this religious fascination for sports like softball and baseball and my sister was a fanatic. But I was an anarchist. I would rather put my dancing shoes and head for the ballet. But then as I said, the swing had me hooked.
The Sunset
I reminisce that time of my life when I waltzed into the sunset holding her hands. This was no ordinary sunset. We looked at the scintillating sea sparkling beyond the far horizons. Nature beckoned me with a glimpse of paradise. The sea was serene and calm, the sky tinted with gold and fiery orange surging contrasting emotions within me. The evening was special and so was she. We knew that what we felt for each other was as smoldering as the yellow sun. I met her angel eyes and they seemed to search for my soul. I gave in to her unspoken words which voiced my desire to be with her forever. What followed were unspoken words, tender caresses, misty eyes and a longing to be inside each other. As we made love, I could hear the distant waves lapping and licking the sides of the shore. Her laughter echoed with the waves as the sun set into the horizon.
Years have passed; we still walk into the sunset. My memories fill a void in my empty heart. So many sunsets have come and gone. But today I feel the evening is special. It is still the same magical sunset after so many years. The sky has the same tint of gold and fiery orange. But the sea is no more silent. It rages; and I can hear the waves echoing her voice. I look beyond and see her figure. I am in the sunset of my youth but she stills looks enticing, alluring and immensely beautiful. She emerges from the ocean; her eyes beckon me from the distant horizons. She comes closer and the beauty of the sunset mingles with her skin making her all the more mystical. She seems to have cast a spell on me and her smile still has that earthly charm. I drop the bottle of wine which had enslaved me for so many years. I walk toward her, unmindful of the sea and hold her hand once again. She invites me to a trip to the distant horizons, asking me to walk in to the sunset one more time. I have never felt at peace before as I see the sun go down with me, feeling the waves lapping and licking at me, taking me deep inside to sleep forever in tranquility.

Women's hair loss problems, prevent and cure hair loss for women
Have beautiful lustrous hair now!!Hair loss effects women psychologically compared to men
There is an old saying which says that the hair of a woman is her “crowning glory”. A lustrous silky full mane epitomizes the beauty of a woman. Studies have revealed that women go through a lot of emotional and psychological setback when they began to lose their hair. Hair loss in a woman, while often less obvious than male hair loss, can be far more emotionally upsetting. A loss in the self-esteem and sagging confidence levels is witnessed in women when their hair begins to fall out. Nobody is really surprised when a man starts balding. For men hair loss can be even perceived as a sign of virility and that his sex hormones are functioning to the fullest. Cosmetically though, a man also does feel low when he witnesses a receding hairline but his psychological loss is not anyway near to the way a woman feels when her hair starts thinning.
Pattern of hair loss for women
One in four women will experience hair loss at some time in their lives.
More than 20million women in the US alone are suffering from hair loss problem
While women can suffer female pattern baldness like thinning in the crown and receding hairline, they are more likely to experience hair thinning spread or diffuse through the entire scalp. The female pattern sets in a later age compared to men, mostly after the menopause and is usually restricted to the top of the head. Total baldness is a rare occurrence
Common cause of hair loss in a woman
Here are some of the reasons for hair loss in a woman:
1. Hormones: One of the major cause of hair loss in a woman can be a hormonal imbalance. An overactive or an under active thyroid can cause the thinning of the hair. Treating the thyroid disease can take care of this kind of hair loss problem. Hormones can also cause hair loss if there is an imbalance of the estrogen hormone. If the hormone imbalance is rectified, the hair loss can cease.
2. Child birth: It is common for a woman to experience hair loss after three months of having delivered a baby. The hair loss in a woman after the child birth is sudden and fast. This kind of hair loss is also the result of hormones which are imbalanced. However this is not much of a cause of concern because once the hormones begin to work normally as they were prior to pregnancy, the hair loss is restored. Telogen effluvium, the scientific name for this kind of hair loss is characterized by a general thinning of the hair and is usually brought about as a result of some traumatic event or a life changing event causing stress like pregnancy or stress in exams and work.
3. Menopause: Hair loss is one of the signs of menopause in women. About 13 percent of women have reported hair loss before menopause. The percentage has reportedly been shown to rise to about 38 percent after menopause.
4. Genes: Women can experience thinning of hair if they have inherited the genes that cause hair loss from their father or mother. The expression of this genes is dependent on hormones called androgens. Since the androgen testosterone, needed for male sexual characteristics is present at a higher level in men, the “androgenetic alopecia” (common balding) is more evident in men, though it is the ordinary form of hair loss for both men and women. However genetic deficiency can be cured in both the sexes if they are disciplined about their diet and get sufficient sleep.
5. Alopecia areata-This is another common hair loss condition known to affect women. The obvious signs are patchy areas of baldness on the scalp or widespread thinning of the hair throughout the scalp. The reason for hair loss in a woman in such a situation is because of a deficiency of hair protein or a weak immune system.
6. Traumatic alopecia: This happens when you damage your hair by manipulating or handling the hair roughly by twisting, tugging or braiding the hair too tightly.
