Flowers

Flowers are the most beautiful creatures of God. There will be hardly any person in this world who would not like flowers. I remember, my days of childhood when I wait eagerly for the blossom of roses in our small garden. My father always worked hard to stay these rose plants in healthy condition. Sometimes I also enjoyed helping him, but one thing is certain that I like these flower to blossom. There are many varieties of flowers which are available today.

Flowers have very important role in our festivals and rituals. In India it is a custom to serve flowers to God and to use them in decorations. There fragrance and beauty have the power to make the experiences more enjoyable. Today there are lots of kinds of flower arrangements available in market. These flowers decorations are available in many tastes and price bands. If you can pay more then you can choose expensive ones, like Superstar Elton John, who does not like greenery much (as reported by an Irish website). This millionaire popstar has spent a more than £10,000 (€14,493) a month on flowers.

Only problem with superstar is that he can not tolerate green in his flowers. He does not like to see green in the red and white floral arrangements adorning his dressing room. He is known to be little bit fussy with his flowers but he can afford to be fussy because he can pay for all this. He usually wants his arrangements should not contain flowers like carnations, chrysanthemums, daisies, or lilies which he does not like. He is also known for his love for flowers, on which he has spent lot. Now it the time of us, how much we love flowers? We all can also Send flowers to our loved ones and make our relations more romantic. If we also started enjoying and sending flowers then one day we may become a known flower lover like Superstar Elton John.

A real fight

Nancy Burpee is a world class paralympic swimmer. She was presented by Simmons, Jannace & Stagg in her participation to 2004 Paralympic Games held in Athens, Greece. Ms Burpee was misfortunate to not get selected in United States Paralympic team in United States Olympic trials even though she has set world records in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle trails held at Minneapolis and Minnesota. Australian referee disqualified her on procedural technicality. To fight her case against the disqualification Ms Burpee called Kevin P. Simmons, a partner at simmons jannace & stagg . Ms Burpee reqested the firm to intiate a case against United States Olympic Committee which will force United states Olympic Committee to name her for Olympic team. The firm started the case under the United States Olympic Committee Rules and took live testimonies from referees in Canada and Australia. Simmons, Jannace & Stagg presented the various comments made by Australian referee which shows the bias against Ms Burpee and desire of coach to not select her. Simmons, Jannace & Stagg was able to convince that the United States Paralympic swim trials were not held with in paralympic rules. All the efforts of Simmons, Jannace & Stagg gone in vain when an independent arbitrator ruled against her and declined to interfere in this matter. However Ms Burpee is not discouraged by this decision and decided to continue her swimming career and will fight in next year olumpics.

Love

Love is the most beautiful experience on this earth and those people who receive or give it are fortunate ones. Remaining in love is like to be in a state of bless, that’s why so many people hound for love. It is a difficult task to define love and if we start defining it then we will have innumerous definition available to us. It is not important to define love but more important is how we feel in it. It is very difficult to search a person who has never given or received love. As we grow, we start our life with receiving love of mother and with passage of time we get the love of friends, society and from lover. Some people may miss some of the forms of love but it is impossible to lose all of them. Moreover giving love is in our hands. The problem with most of us is that we believe in receiving love more but not giving it to others. If we can understand these simple notions that love is true in its both forms and giving love gives far more satisfaction as compared to receiving it then we can easily make this world a love destination. When love emerges in atmosphere then nobody will be able to fight with anybody, no terrorists will be there and no religion will hate the other religion. However, unfortunately we all are far away from love. Even there are people in this world who are not even able to receive love. All the saints, scriptures and religions have given the message of love. Love is defined as the purest form of emotion; therefore it is very difficult to construct a healthy life without love.
