Guns, Germs, & Steel: For the Next Time Somebody Calls You a Neanderthal

"Despite being depicted in innumerable cartoons as apelike brutes living in caves, Neanderthals had brains slightly larger than our own. They were also the first humans to leave behind strong evidence of burying their dead and taking care of their sick".

My-croscope: You Put The 'Heal' Back In Health

No, i can't provide you evidence to corroborate,
But, no that doesn't mean i exaggerate
when i write i'm the richest man in the world

Yes there isn't a device that can measure
Yes its invaluable this treasure
And yes you're looking at the richest man in the world

This wealth i did not earn it
I hope i do not spurn it
The wealth that makes me the richest man in the world

I pray i do not take my wealth for granted,
My home does not become a house haunted,
when i am no longer the richest man in the world

For one does not need much wisdom
to know that day will inevitably come
when i'm no longer the richest man in the world

Reduced to a pauper the crown prince,
thinking of that fateful day since,
I was no longer the richest man in the world

So i pray for this blessed wealth,
and i pray for your precious health,
And so Mercifully i remain the richest man in the world.

"rubbir hum huma kama rubbiyani saghira"

Ameen.

Mori Araj Suno

"You don't have to recover your past to break free".

"Kitni Suddiyaan beet gayeen hayn
ab ja kar yay bhaid khula hay
jiss ko tum nay arz guzaari
jo thaa haath pakarnay waala
jiss jaag laagi nao tumhari
jiss say dukh ka daaru maanga
toray mandir mein jo nahin aaya
woh tau tum hi thay
woh tau tum hi thay".

Mycroscope: For the Next Time You Feel Empty Inside or Numb

BBC Planet 'Earth Great Plains' narrator's opening line:

"vast open plains, immense open spaces, eerie silence, but any feeling of emptiness is an illusion".

The universe is more manifest in us than we are in it.
