Next We Visit A Land Locked Planet With Gentle Blue Furry Creatures

Ok, so time to get another of these posts going to explore the futuristic time going – read this last one an then come back. An next up is a personal favourite, one I have visited before but is always great to visit anytime. Also most of my family members haven’t been here. It’s a very unique planet that gets very little light from it’s star/sun on one half due to tidal locking but is lightened by the light of 9 moons. The planet is also mostly ocean. It is only 20 percent land and the rest is clear, blue oceans and seas. And it is a different colour of blue.

We land on a large patch of what looks like grass but it is a faded maroon in colour. The land stretched out in front of us but in the distance we can see what looks like giant mountains. On the left of us we can see bushes and trees. Odd looking leaves and what we assume are flowers. The air is breathable but the oxygen content is a bit lower which could cause us to get tired easily so we keep the helmets and oxygen supplies on.We walk a bit further and look up – in the early evening sky we can see that the planet has curently 7  moons….that look so gorgeous upon that evening sky. The other two moons are barely visible.

The grass flows in the wind like a river and the alien birds make their shrill noise as they glide in the evening light. The birds are small in body yet have these huge wings that seem to be almost 3 times their size. This sight fascinates us so much that we almost do not notice the huge animals that have wandered near us. As the night time descends we can see that the animals are luminescent and that the night time glow is gorgeous to see. Furry, large yet gentle creatures with multiple legs walking near us and they don’t seem to be too worried in our presence. They keep looking for things to eat and its the leaves, the bushes and shrubs near us that they seem to be more attracted to. We must be in their feeding grounds.

All the creatures seems to be herbivores and they also seem to like a fruit that falls from the trees in the area. One animal walks near me to get to the fruit and I run my hands on it’s thick, fluffy fur. Even with the gloves of my suit I can feel that it’s among the most softest fur ever. The animals seems to like the rubbing effect and approach even further to each of us. Like large, long dogs who have been petted for the first time and loving it, they come back for me and soon all 4 of us are running our hands through the soft backs and bellies of these gentle creatures. After it gets too dark, even with 4 moons lending light to where we stand, it gets harder for us to see. So we bid goodbye to these lovely animals and let them continue their feed as we get back to the ship.

5 Pair Of Twins In World Football

Jurrien & Quinten Timber

Something is going on in the Netherlands, because despite twins in football being a rarity, Jurrien and Quinten Timber just became the third set of twins to play together for the Dutch national team. The two both came on as substitutes and shared the pitch as the Oranje beat Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Nations League. While Jurrien is known for playing his football at Arsenal, the slightly lesser-known Quinten plays for Feyenoord and is an Eredivisie winner as well as a two-time KNVB Cup winner.

Frank & Ronald de Boer

Before the Timbers, there was the De Boers – and they were a seriously talented duo. While Frank hasn’t quite cut the mustard as a manager at the top level, his legacy as a player cannot be denied as the man with the third-most caps for the national team, a Champions League and league titles with Ajax and Barcelona. Ronald, meanwhile, also won La Liga alongside his twin brother at Barcelona and the Champions League at Ajax, but did so as a forward instead of a defender and has worked at Ajax in his post-playing career.

Rafael & Fabio Da Silva

Scout Les Kershaw described Rafael and Fabio as ‘two little whippets’ upon discovering them at Fluminense, before they signed for Manchester United in 2008. Rafael managed to become a regular at United under Sir Alex Ferguson before eventually leaving for Lyon, but Fabio struggled to break in at left-back. The pair both left permanently in 2014, but while Rafael headed to France, Fabio moved to Wales to sign for Cardiff. Now 34, Rafael and Fabio are both back in Brazil; the former plays for Botafogo while the latter is at Gremio. Both achieved two caps each for Brazil.

Lars & Sven Bender

Both defenders but versatile, Lars and Sven Bender were never fully appreciated by the German national team, with Lars earning 19 caps and Sven earning seven, but both enjoyed fantastic careers in the Bundesliga. The twins started out at 1860 Munich, but Lars spent the rest of his career with Bayer Leverkusen after moving in 2009, while Sven spent the bulk of his with Borussia Dortmund before joining Leverkusen in 2017.Lars and Sven both retired at Leverkusen in 2021; the latter has since returned to Dortmund as assistant manager.

Megan & Rachael Rapinoe

Megan Rapinoe needs no introduction as a Ballon d’Or winner, Olympic gold medallist and two-time World Cup winner, but you’d be forgiven for not knowing about her twin sister. Rachael represented the United States at under-23 level and played football professionally in Iceland with Stjarnan after a successful stint with the Universit of Portland’s Portland Pilots team, where she was studying alongside playing. Injuries ultimately proved the undoing of her career, however, and forced her into retirement and a grapple with opioid addiction. She is now the co-founder of Mendi, a CBD company, having previously obtained a Master’s degree in Health Studies.

National Pepperoni Pizza Day (Let’s Make It International)

A Harris Poll taken in January of 2016 found pepperoni to be the most popular pizza topping in the United States. No wonder this delicious & salty food gets it’s own National Day in the US but I’d like to see it go international.

  • The largest pizza ever made used 6,193Kg of dough, 2,244Kg of sweet marinara sauce, 3,992Kg of cheese and around 630,496 slices of pepperoni.
  • Pizza Hut claim to have been the first to sell a pizza via the internet in 1994. The pizza was a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza with extra cheese.
  • Since opening the first Domino’s store in the UK in 1985, they now have over 1,200 stores across the UK and Republic of Ireland and more than 35,000 team members. Last year, they sold over 106 million freshly handcrafted pizzas.
  • The longest pizza delivery was from Cape Town in South Africa to Sydney in Australia.
  • Pizza Hut set a world record in 2016 when it made a pizza delivery to Mt. Kilimanjaro to celebrate the opening of its 100th store.
  • Italian immigrants in New York City created pepperoni in 1919.
  • In 2016 Domino’s delivered the world’s first-ever pizza by drone in New Zealand.
  • There’s a pizza museum in Philadelphia called Pizza Brain. It is home to the world’s largest collection of pizza memorabilia.
  • In 2013, Pizza Hut Canada released a limited-edition pizza-scented perfume giving 110 bottles away to fans on Facebook.

Atalanta 0 Arsenal 0

David Raya made an unbelievable double save from a penalty as Arsenal drew at Italian side Atalanta in their Champions League opener. The Spaniard got down low to his right to keep out Mateo Retegui’s spot-kick and somehow got across his goal to scoop the striker’s follow-up header off the line. That was the one real moment of drama and quality in an otherwise forgettable match in Bergamo. Chances were at a premium, with Raya not needing to pull off any other saves outside of that two-second spell. Arsenal, meanwhile, did not have a single shot between the 18th and 75th minute.

Like Europa League winners Atalanta, the Gunners’ only two shots on target came as part of a double save. Marco Carnesecchi tipped away Bukayo Saka’s free-kick and blocked Thomas Partey’s follow-up. It looked as if the game was going to go away from Arsenal when Thomas Partey clipped defensive midfielder Ederson on the left edge of the box. A penalty was awarded and, after a long video assistant referee check, the decision stood. During that wait Raya went over to talk to Arsenal’s goalkeeping coach, his fellow Spaniard Inaki Cana, who he also worked with at Brentford. Whatever they discussed worked.

Retegui’s penalty was not the best but Raya still did very well to dive to his right and keep it out. The Italy striker, again, should really not have given Raya a chance with the rebound as he looked to head into an empty net on the other side of the goal. Nobody in the ground expected Raya to have any chance of getting across in time to keep it out but he did, just before the ball fully crossed the line.

When A Terrible Movie Reminds You Fonder Times From Your Past

For some reason I was reminded of some good ole fun times spent with my younger cousins who were in India on vacation from the UK. I rewatched Batman & Robin a couple of days ago and it reminded me We went to see the movie at theatres back in 1998. It was 4 of us  – Harish, Aswin & Sree. Just us guys and we watched the movie is this theatre which has since had a full renovation but back then it was a dump and there were a couple of huge rats running around.

Anways, I remember that Aswin & Srree spent a few days in my parents home in Thrikkakara around early 1999 I think. I was not working or studying at that time having just completed a 2 year computer diploma course and was awaiting the results of the exams. So while they were at my house, we spent almost all of our time playing video games on my old computer and watching cartoons. Anways, I just remember enjoying my time with them playing a bunch of games like some F1 & Indy car race games, some football game demo that only allowed you to play USA vs Russia (doh!), some funny cartoony race game called Wacky Wheels and lots & lots of DOOM!

And at night they would come to my room and I’d switch the ac on. I slept on one end and Aswin on the other with then 7 year old Sree in the middle. And we’d tell jokes and crack each other up until late night and we feel asleep. And it was a fun time.

RIP Salvatore Schillaci

Italian football icon Salvatore Schillaci, the top scorer at the 1990 World Cup, has died aged 59. The Italian professional footballer who played as a striker played for the clubs Messina (1982–1989), Juventus (1989–1992), Internazionale (1992–1994) and Júbilo Iwata (1994–1997). At the international level he was the surprise star of the 1990 FIFA World Cup, as he helped Italy to a third-place finish on home soil. Coming on as substitute in Italy’s first game, Schillaci went on to score six goals throughout the World Cup, claiming the Golden Boot as the leading goalscorer, and received the Golden Ball as player of the tournament ahead of Lothar Matthäus and Diego Maradona, who came second and third respectively. That year he also placed second in the 1990 Ballon d’Or, behind Matthäus.

Born to a poor family in Palermo he signed in 1982 for the Sicilian club Messina, where he played until 1989 and showed his goal-scoring abilities, most notably winning the Serie B top-scorer Award during the 1988–89 Serie B season, with 23 goals. He then joined Turin club Juventus, and made his debut in Serie A on 27 August 1989. Schillaci’s arrival coincided with a return to form under the direction of former legendary Juventus goalkeeper Dino Zoff. He featured prominently for the Turinese club that season, scoring 15 league goals and 21 in all competitions in a very positive year, which ended with Juventus winning both the 1989–90 Coppa Italia and the UEFA Cup titles.

Due to his clever, inventive, and aggressive attacking style, he was then selected by head coach of Italy, Azeglio Vicini, to play in the 1990 FIFA World Cup, to be hosted by Italy itself, despite being a novice in the arena of national team competitions. Overall, he scored seven goals in sixteen caps for Italy between 1990 and 1991, scoring his only other goal for Italy in a 2–1 defeat away against Norway, in 1991, in an UEFA Euro 1992 qualifying match. After the end of the 1990 World Cup, Schillaci played two more years for Juventus, alongside his Italy attacking team-mate Roberto Baggio, before joining Internazionale.

Schillaci ultimately fell short of the expectations of the Inter fans, as well as those of Juventus, mainly because of the physical troubles which he suffered after the 1990 campaign. In 1994, he joined Japanese club Júbilo Iwata, becoming the first Italian player to play in the J.League, and he won the J.League Division 1 title with the club in 1997. He retired in 1999 and returned to his native Palermo, where he owned a youth academy of football. Schillaci’s nephew Francesco Di Mariano and cousin Antonio Maurizio Schillaci were also professional footballers. He married twice and had three children. Schillaci was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2022. In September 2024, he was hospitalised with an atrial arrhythmia and died today.

Should You Shave Daily If You Work From Home?

One of the funny things about work from home, or I should say this is a quirk that starts to become a habit when I work from home. The first time I started doing work from home was from late March 2020 till almost January 2023 and then a few weeks here and there. What is different on these day is that I do not shave regularly.

Usually I shave everyday of the work week and sometime either on one of the weekend days. Especially if I am going out and or shooting a movie review. Just before I shower I will shave. For example, since June, I have been doing the 12:30 pm to 9:30 pm shift and so I go and take a shave & a shower by around 11:30 am and then change and go to the office by Uber/Yathri. I haven’t gone to work without shaving my face since….I started working. The only times I have grown a stubble and gone to the office are both times when I was sick and on leave and then went to the office.

But other than those two times that I can remember, and the last time was in 2007, I always go to work after a fresh shave. Even when I go out I shave, except has been 2 or 3 times when I have just gone to the hospital for a doctor’s appointment. However with work from home, I usually shave like once or maybe twice a week. I think I have to change that. I do plan on going out on most weekends but I think I should shave every 2 days anyways.

What Did You Love Doing As A Child That You’ve Stopped Doing?

What did you love doing as a child that you’ve stopped doing? Rediscover a childhood passion and consider how you can bring it back into your life.

Reading – I used to be a bookworm and I was quite happy to spend hours in a nice comfy chair or in my bed reading book after book, usually with some music playing in the background. My relatives found it easy to give me gifts – just get him a book to read, was what they would say!

I used to play a lot of games on my Atari with my sister & dad. Later on,I used to played quite a few games on my pc but the only games I bought myself were a couple of FIFA & NHL from EA Sports. The rest I used to install a lot of demo games from various cds that I would get from computer magazines like PC Today and others.

Other than that was spending time with my cousins. I loved the times that we played football or cricket in mornings of our holidays and board games in the evening post tea and then watch movies together as a group at night. Those were some awesome times.

Leaving Earth’s Orbit And The Solar System To Head Out Into Space

Well, this is a different story. Please read this post over here which is the first part of this story. Ok, now that you have caught up, let me tell you about the ships. These ships like I previously mentioned are the sizes of large cities with decks after decks of living & working quarters on each. There are movie theatres, recreational halls and room, medical bays, labs etc. Also there are options for extended families to live in suites next to each other so you can also have some common areas for large dinners and games. Or if you just want to chill out and hand out with each other, large rooms where you can just lounge or lie and talk.

So like I mentioned I am in the the last wave to leave the earth in one of the large city ships as part of the final wave. After my hover vehicle docks with the city ship I am assigned to, I take the pups and head to the section where my extended family is. Once you enter the section, it takes you to one of the common areas that has lounge areas. We have all these suites that are like large apartments in these sections and I have one suite with a large living room with two bedrooms on either end. I sleep in one bedroom and my parents sleep in the other. Next to our suite is a bigger suite with 4 bedrooms – for my sister & brother-in-law and my two nephews and niece. Our cousins and their spouses, uncles and aunts all have their own suites.

So when I enter this section and the lounge area where some of my cousins and relatives are sitting. I show them the pups and everyone starts to pet them. I quickly go to my suite and change into evening pjs and a teeshirt and come back to the rest. Just then we get the alert on the intercom systems that the earth is free of animals, birds and humans as our latest scans confirms. All that are left are insects and vermin like rats. In exactly 1 hour the final ships including ours will break orbit and leave the solar system for the new star system. So we sit around and talk about what we will miss on earth and then it’s time for dinner. Just as we sit down for dinner, the ships leave orbit and head off into space.

We then settle down eating lots of food and we make sure that all the pets including my new two puppies are fed. This dinner goes on for almost 3 hours with some drinking involved and lots of jokes and laughing. The puppies now with full bellies are watching me and the rest talk. Sometime after the 3 hours are up, everyone heads to their suites to sleep. My parents and I walk with the puppies to our suite and I say good night to my dad and mum. The two girl puppies walk next to me feeling very sleepy. I had managed to get one extra bed to be added to my bedroom. So I pickup the two pups and place them on the additional bed and then have the lights turned off and then get into my bed. I had petted the pups for a while before I got into my own bed and then it was sleep time.

However, before I fell completely asleep, I felt the two pups jump onto my bed and snuggle under my sheets to get to sleep next to me. I was pretty sure that they would do so and I was happy as I drifted off to sleep.

If I Could Spend A Day Anywhere In The World

If you could spend a day anywhere in the world, where would it be and what would you do?

I dunno if I could pick just one place. I’d like to see a lot of cities and places around the world and wish I could see all of them before I die. But ofcourse I know I won’t. So therefore if I had to pick just 1 place, it is a hard choice. However I will have to say that I would pick Canada or I should say a place in Canada.

But which place in Canada – that is an even tougher choice to make! I dunno if I would be able to pick. Vancouver & Montreal would be the most obvious choices for me but then Ottawa, Calgary, Toronto, Edmonton, Victoria, Halifax are just some of the other places that I would love to see. From Saskatchewan I would pick Saskatoon over Regina I suppose but what about Winnipeg? Moncton, Fredericton, St. Johns & Saint John are all places that I would to visit.

Other places are Churchill, Yellowknife, Muskoka, Jasper, Camrose, Whistler & Banff. How do I pick? I want to see all of them. I guess Vancouver would be my pick if it’s only place for 24 hours. So much to see there!
