Sometime all we need is a new perspective.
After publishing 125 posts, and seeking 1000’s of kind notes from fellow bloggers.. The blog finally decided for a change that has been slightly hard to take. The change which the blog author was willing to make for long and finally took it. The blog has a new URL(web address).
Welcome to.. thebrokenspecs (https://thebrokenspecs.wordpress.com)
Do you know, pair of broken glasses left on US gallery floor was once mistaken for art. đ
Why its named, “The Broken Specs“?
I was remembering one occasion when I fell asleep in bed with my glasses on. When I woke up I was lying on them and they were all flat. I tried to bend the temples back and broke both of them. Luckily, I could see with an old pair of glasses that were still stronger than the prescription that I needed at the time. But I was very sad because I liked the broken glasses a lot and they couldn’t be repaired. đ
It is important to hold Love & Trust with a lot of care, don’t let it down, because once broken they cannot be repaired. đ
Hope you enjoy reading the blog.. đ

Blind Love
How often we have heard this phrase, “Love is blind”?
In a group of friends, we had a lot of jokes on this expression. Since many of the lads have never been in a relation, so when they see a decent guy with a girl who is beautiful, they say “Love is blind”. đ
For me,
Love is blind, when we don’t care how a person looks or how annoying they are, all we do is Love them unconditionally. đ
Here is a small story I came across,
Few days back in a cold foggy morning, I saw two people sitting next to each other outside the center court of the coffee halt. They look just like some other girl and a boy on this planet. But there was one uncommon thing in those two people sitting together. They were constantly facing towards the bushes, with one hand together. đ They never faced each other.
The air floating around had some good content of water molecules which turned everyone’s breathe to fog. And just like a little kid, I was enjoying my winter smoking that way. đ The place was quiet & I was looking in the same direction where those two people were looking at and waiting for my cup of coffee to come, all of a sudden I heard, “I Love You” from the boy. Within seconds I heard, “I too” from the girl. ⤠That brought a smile to me. đ
Just then my coffee arrived and I was still smiling. Serving the coffee the server asked me, “What’s special sir?”. I replied, “Good to hear the word Love in this cold morning”. He saw me looking into that direction and replied, “They cannot see each other, they are blind. Sir” and he walked back to court.
I still had a smile but with a thought on what love really is! It is not looks, it is a feeling which you never had before. It is a feeling for one another.
On that very day, I realized the true meaning of “Love is blind”. đ

9/11- Ground Zero
September 11, 2001. A day the whole world will never forget.
Do you remember a world when September 11th was just another day? It’s hard to believe, but this year marks the 13th anniversary. It’s been 13 years since 9/11, 13 years since terrorists hijacked several airplanes, flying two in the World Trade Center in New York City and one each into the Pentagon and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Jumped from the tower
Even in impending death below, 2 people give some solace to each other. “You’re not alone!” No, none of those who were in those unfortunate upper floors of the Towers “deserved” what happened to them, but a couple of people here & there (there were 200+ people who fell from the burning buildings without any hope of rescue) held hands to help each other.
9/11 Memorial
A decade after the 9/11 attacks, two gaping voids still sit in the ground where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once loomed. But today the towersâ footprints are filled with reflecting pools and waterfalls, in what is now the 9/11 Memorial. Bronze parapets engraved with the 2,983 names of those who perished in the â93 WTC bombings and at the hands of terrorists on September 11, 2001 wrap around the pools. The names of the victims are listed not in alphabetical order, but in âmeaningful adjacenciesâ that reflect where they were, their affiliations, or personal relationships (as requested by their surviving loved ones).
Robert Peraza, who lost his son Robert David Peraza in 9/11, pauses at his sonâs name at the North Pool of the 9/11 Memorial.
After 13 years gone by it still brings goosebumps when we see the documentaries which are telecast. The people who lost their life’s may not be from the same blood but it still feels like they were no different.
Today, tomorrow or 10 years from now – we will remember 9/11, for the husband who told his wife ‘I love you’ one last time before his plane went down. For the wife who stopped in the stairs to call her husband to say ‘I will love you forever’. For the mothers and fathers who kissed their kid goodbye the morning they died. For the policemen who rushed in with the fireman to help others only to die themselves. .
“We lost a lot, but we gained more. United we stand. We learned freedom isn’t always free..”
“How day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different”
What does the title line mean?
This is about things moving slowly but relentlessly. A day doesn’t seem very long, but changes do happen. Each day, a little different. A little bit of drift this way or that.
Then, âsuddenlyâ you notice everything is different. Well, itâs been changing the whole time, but you hadn’t noticed until just now. And that is how life tends to come at you.
Consider what has happened in the last year. What about the last decade? Somehow, the changes seem so much greater, donât they? Especially in the active years, from the time youâre out of college until your kids are out of college.
Whether it is the small changes in a town, a tree, your partner, your business, or even in you, there is always a little bit of change.
Time is like a moving sidewalk or an escalator. You donât really notice that youâre moving, except that things around you are changing. Their positions are changing, and you know you must be the one moving, and you have a changing perspective on the world around you.
Time is a very slow moving sidewalk. While there are changes happening all around you, they are so small that they are easily overlooked. But the farther back down the path you look, the more reality differs from your memories. Time has passed, things have changed, as has your perspective.
Beyond that, as time passes, different things become more or less important. The first person you ever had a crush on, would you even admit to it today? Your first true love, how do you feel about that now? Again, looking back, it is way different than it was back then, right?
You may not feel your love today changing, but it is. Will it grow or fade? Youâll know for sure in a few years, perhaps a little sooner, depending on how much changes. But day to day, how can you measure it? That might be something you might want to think about.
Think about this. Change will happen. There is no stopping it. Will it be random, or will you apply some of your own influence to help shape what happens? Life has no guarantees, but if you donât try, you will be at the mercy of random chance. That doesn’t sound good to me.
What will you do to make your life different when you look back on it? All at once, itâs hard. But day by day, change will happen. Is it the change you want, or just something random?
Encouraging Kids to learn Mathematics
Everything around us can be better understood with mathematics. Mathematics can help children make sense of and think about the many aspects of their world through its connections to them. When we see â and help the children see â those connections, we enrich their overall learning and development. You give your child a great gift when you help them make connections between the math in everyday situations and the math they learns in school.
When I was in school many children were feared about maths because of unknown reasons. But I think mathematics is one of the most interesting subject which can improve you in many aspects.
The picture shown is a house which has two windows when summed up equals to 2. It can attract a kid and inspire him to learn maths. Maybe the little kid starts to fight with the landlord on when he is going to get the next version. đ
Without mathematics, there’s nothing you can do. Everything around you is mathematics. Everything around you is numbers..
