Beyond the Sunset.Beyond the Sunset.
 
When I am alone with myself, I like gazing at sunset, one more day is buried ! Welcome night, bringing dreams or nightmares or simply sleepless night ! Don't move ! Time is frozen here !Don't move ! Time is frozen here !
Nostalgia, when you get hold of me !
 Pretty blue eyes,
Only Sixteen.
A Teenager in love.
My first love affair.
The heart of a teenage Girl.
When my little Girl is smiling.
Come softly to me.
After all.
Another you.
Hello Spring.
A new Boy.
Time.
Yes, Time is frozen here ! Don't move, listen, enjoy again !
The CDs of Craig Douglas are available on the net. Good investment for the romantic people.
I still remember her. We were at either the school "Bons et Perpetuels Secours" or "L'Ecole de la Montaigne". She had beautiful blue eyes. Hope they are still so beautiful. Her name is Gilberte. I wish to say hello to her ! Margose.Margose.
Margose (Margoze) is a bitter Vegetable available in Mauritius and Reunion Island and some other countries, too. The Scientific name is Momordica Charantia.
Whenever it is available, I like to shred half raw Margose and eat it raw with my dinner. I like the bitter taste. After dinner and the bitter taste of the Margose, a warm Vanilla flavoured tea with sugar, tastes very good.
It is believed that this Vegetable is good against Diabetes.
20-11-2009.
TEST CONCLUSIVE : I am following 3 persons who regularly eat half or one raw Margose every day, lunch and dinner. Diabetes drop from 7 or 8 to no more than 5.5. No excess sugar is taken. Try it and post a comment, please. Nostalgia : Craig Douglas, a Voice to remember !Nostalgia : Craig Douglas, a Voice to remember !
Craig Douglas was one of my favourite Singers. This makes me remember Connie Francis "Lipstick on your collar !". Sweet Youth : The more you think, the more you become crazy ! Those were the years when Friends were Friends. We were all focussed on romantic songs and music. We were moulded into Love and Friendship. Hatred was nowhere : Love was everywhere ! Romantic Songs and Musics were at every corner of the roads. Never heard that a Terrorist blew himself, killing so many People !
Craig's songs : * Pretty Blue Eyes, * Only Sixteen, * Time, * A Teenager In Love, * Hello Spring, * A Hundred Pounds Of Clay, The Heart of a Teenage Girl Who Is Only Seventeen ! Where Is The Girl I Never Met. Those were the years. Nostalgia : Craig Douglas, a Voice to remember ! There is only one song that has dissolved into my blood and soul. It is " Pretty Blue Eyes ". Today, when I listen to it, I clearly see and feel as real what I was doing at that time. I hear the voices of people I knew and their happy faces. Who was not happy during those years, then ? From the site of my Friend, Laird, I read " My heart has left its dwelling-place Buy Craig Douglas' CDs on the net. A good investment in romantic songs, hitting the Teenagers of that time, your Mum and Dad ! I think ! Enjoy " Oh Lonesome Me " from the following site : Mountains.Mountains.
I love the Mountain ranges. In Mauritius, they are not very high, but still they look like Giants looking over us !
      Hibiscus.Hibiscus.
Originally the Hibiscus is red. Tampering with the genetics of the Hibiscus, they have produced the other colours. Only Mother Nature should play with the genetics of all things. Man tampering with could be a danger. Anyway, those large flowers are beautiful.
   Jamalacs The Jamalacs are tropical fruits with a sweet sour taste. I do not know if they have an English equivalent name.
There is another fruit of the same type that we call " Jeanbosse ".
Children used to love these fruits. Now, we do not see much of them, but instead, we see concrete houses and buildings !
My friend, Kate, has mailed a complete documentation. This fruit is known under different names in different countries. The one that I find most appropriate is the " Bell fruit " due to the bell shape of the Jamalac. Alone. A little stroll before sunset.A little stroll before sunset.

    Alone.
A little stroll in the cool air of the eveninng. Good to recharge the Soul and refresh the body.
Mother Nature's Painting.
Flic-en-Flac, Mauritius The visible and beyond. I set the " While Balance " of my SLR Pentax istDL to " Cloudy ". This set up sees more the red in a Sunset. The lights conditions, too, must be right, otherwise try again another day ! Good Luck !
The following is from : K.R. Cards, P.O. Box 422, London NW6 4BN copyrighted 1975 K.R. Cards. I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant ! The Thumb Mountain
Thumb Mountain, viewed from Port Louis, the Capital City. Tall buildings, too many tall buildings in the Capital, are hiding our Thumb Mountain. I was a Boy, and enjoyed climbing the mountains. This one was always my favourite. The elderly Persons said that the Mountain has a Spirit. Yes, I think so. You have to believe it, and you will see it. Next time, I go to the City, I will take a picture of the Thumb Mountain when darkness falls. I will post it here soon. My first Computer.My first Computer.
That was years ago. I bought my first Computer.
I was tired to do textiles costing in a copybook. So, I decided I need e-help.
 At that time, without experience, I just thought that the Computer will do the work for me. I was surprised to see that it was an empty machine. I had to programme it to make it useful to me.
So, I started to learn the BASIC Language. I learned during one Saturday night and half a Sunday. I did the programming. I tested the machine from the figures I had in my copybook. All the answers were correct.
The next Monday morning, I started the inputs directly from the Textiles Cutting Table :
* Length of mattress.
* Width of mattress.
* No. of tubular folds etc.
The consumption per piece of garment was calculated instantly. Everybody came to see the magic of the machine.
Ever since, I did not have to waste time working out the consumption per garment.
At that time, many, many years ago, it looked magical !
A couple of years later, I travelled to Germany. I bought the Commodore 64. Back to Mauritius, I bought the Commodore 128. Later I bought other Computers IBM compatible as we used to call them. Many years after, I bought computers and Laptops with Windows, making life much, much easier.
Today Computer programming has evolved with Visual Basic, C, C++, C# etc. etc. Scores of languages available to help programming. I always joke : " Insomnia People can be good Programmers ". Not really ! You need be very logical, with some memory to retain what you are doing.
 Sunset buries the day.
The visible and beyond. The Car Parking of the Supermarkets.The Car Parking of the Supermarkets.
Always funny !
Many People hand carry or pushing a carriage (Caddie ?) full of goods they bought. Why should they spend so much time to locate where they parked their cars ? !!!!!!
The Suprmarket Car Parking locations are : A, B, C, D, E, F etc. Many years ago, I, too, was always wasting my time looking for my car. All too often we look quite away from the area where we really park our car ! So, I decided to help myself.
1. I always park my car away from the other cars. This helps me to visually find it.
2. Trying to remember location A, B, C, or M is stupid. It goes to the short term, temporary memory. Forgotten by the time you enter the Supermarket and come out ! To remember, in my mind, I label E for ELENA or C for CAROL or R for ROSY. So, I do not forget.
This morning I saw a Wife and Husband discussing heatedly about where their Car was parked ! The Wife was worried and in a hurry because their Child shitted in his clothes, the smell attracted a couple of stray Dogs. It was the Wife that had all the cleaning work to do ! Hope they will together have a peaceful lunch later ! The Royal Pioneer Corps.The Royal Pioneer Corps.
 Royal Pioneer Corps copper buttons.
 Many Mauritians, including a few of my Relatives, served under the British Flag during the Second World War. After the War, the Royal Pioneer Corps stayed in Mauritius for a number of years. Then, they left. I cannot remember the year.
.
  The Defence Medal.
 I was a small Boy, and very attentive to what was being said around me. I loved the stories of the World War II events, dreaming I were a Soldier. No doubt, many of the stories were told to please Children. Only later that I learned the factual events.
If I remember well, the Mauritians of the Royal Pioneer Corps were mainly serving in the Middle East.
I learned that " Corps " is pronounsed " Corp " without sounding the S, otherwise it would sound as " Corpse ", meaning something very different.
The arrivals and departures of Ships at Port Louis harbour were always interesting events. From time to time I managed to climb onboard as I had a few Relatives travelling as part of the Troops.
There was no fax or email at that time. All correspondences were done by mailing Letters. I was a small boy and always believed that it was the Birds that brought the Letters overseas. My Mum always had a little symbolic brooch pinned on her dress :
 Souvenir of my Mum.
I have no bone of hers to keep; so I keep her brooch. I recovered a few pictures that I want to share. Those ships were Liners, carrying Troops :
 H.M.T. Empire Halladale.
 H.T. Lancashire
 M.V. Cheshire
 M.V. Devonshire
I am looking for the picture of " M.V. Empire Ken ". If you have one, please send it to me.
Rick from Australia graciously sent me a picture of the s.s. Empire Ken. Thank you very much Rick.
 S.S. Empire Ken
""" British Ministry of Transport's EMPIRE KEN. She was originally German East Africa Line's UBENA of 1928. Handed over to Great Britain in 1945; scrapped in 1957 """.
Of all the ships I have known, the ss Empire Ken was and is still my favourite. The name sounds good to my ears.
The s.s. Empire Ken was scrapped in 1957. It was like murdering a living Being.
The Family had good relations with many of the British Service men. One of them was Captain Golden. When he left Mauritius, he gave us many of his kitchenwares. I have kept a Beer Bug as a souvenir of him.
 Captain Golden, wherever you may be " Cheers ! "
If you knew Captain Golden, please let me know.
A Ship was diverted to Mauritius. On board were Jews fleeing Europe. 127 of them died here:
 I am not sure of the name of the Ship. It could be the Exodus or Patria or another one. If you have a picture of that Ship, please send it to me. Thank you.
The years are gone,
Memory lingers on !
I have been looking for 2 Friends, both were in the Royal Navy : * Gerald Albiston
* Cris Selby
If you know them, please post a message. Thank you.
Vaya Con Dios.Vaya Con Dios. Do you still remember how many Farewells you bid ? Here is a nice song. Is not Mother Nature hitting hard ?Is not Mother Nature hitting hard ?
Have you seen what happened in Taiwan ?
Humans are emptying underneath the soil and filling the high atmosphere with CO2 ! Now they want to go into outer space to recover Helium 3 to be used in nuclear fusion.
Mother Nature has sent the Swine Flu H1N1 to Mauritius, too. Over 30 cases recorded and 4 died already, from Baby to 50 year old.
What next ? You simply can't beat Mother Nature !
Will one day our Sea stop glittering ?
 Ile aux Cerfs (Island of the Stags), Mauritius.
Will one day our Sunset be veiled by clouds of pollutions created by Humans ?

 A special thought to my Dog " Beauty ".
Hope she is somewhere in the setting sun.
Scarborough Fair.A beautiful voice is a joy to the ears.
I imagine a pair of large white wings behind Sarah Brightman would have made her an Angel in my imagination. How I would like her to be my guardian Angel !
Yes, I'd like to go to Scarborough Fair with you, singing all the way " Yes, we are going to Scarborough Fair " ! Scarborough Fair. Are you going to Scarborough Fair ? My Heart and my Sunset to a beautiful voice :
Feel it !Concierto de Aranjuez
( Aranjuez, mon Amour )
Concierto de Atanjuez was composed in 1939, by the Spanish Composer Joaquin Rodrigo. He described the Concerto itself as capturing " the fragrance of magnolias, the singing of birds, and the gushing of fountains "in the garden of Aranjuez ( Wikipedia ).
Rodrigo, blind since age three, was a Pianist.
MADOFF.MADOFF
Why jail Madoff ?
Why not congratulate him ?
Who could be MAD enough to give his or her money, dreaming that the money will multiply by X times ?
I always entrust to others what I can afford to lose, but never give all my money, my shirts, my trousers and my slips. I am not MAD enough ! OK, you may be MAD, but not stupid.
Do you know the story of the short Guy who prepaid a large sum as commission to an Agent who was selling the Eifel Tower ? The Hackers.The Hackers.
Here is a nice story of Kevin Mitnick. Q & A . Kevin Mitnick, from ham operator to fugitive to consultant
Is it ok to penetrate into the computer system of Somebody else ? Of course not, but it also brought better development to harden the hacked system. You cannot stop progress !
Researchers, Scientists hack Mother Nature Systems, don't they ? Our global punishment is what we are experiencing now and in the not far distant future !
Mother Nature is hardening her Systems ! Was it Fate ?Was it Fate ?
The Air France Flight AF 447 was hit by an Event that fatally caught 228 People on board.
Was it Fate ?
I imagine Events as lines of all shapes and thicknesses crossing one another, making an incredible Network. An intercrossing of the lines or Events could be good or bad or simply fatal for a Person who happens to be there. How a Person could be at an intercrossing of the lines ? Here, it all depends on the following :
* Incidences,
* Coincidences,
* Correlations,
* Chances,
and can you add to this list of possibilities.
Observations, thinking, actions / reactions etc. often help us from going at the said intersections, or simply stop at the right moment ! So, we have a lucky escape ! AIR FRANCE FLIGHT 447.Air France flight AF 447.
Sincere sympathy to the Families.
Already there are a few speculations about the bad weather ! Airplanes are built to withstand bad weather.
Did Somebody talk about the possibility of a SPACE DEBRIS that hit the plane and imploded it ? All Space Debris do not burn completely when entering the earth atmosphere.
If the finding is "Space Debris ", will this conclusion be broadcasted ?
If a plane is exploded, its debris are scattered on large areas. When a plane is imploded, less debris are scattered.
The Office of Investigation and Analysis may have a very difficult job to do in this particular zone.
