Edible business cards?

Who would eat business cards? After all, they are meant to store for future communications-right?

Nevertheless, who would produce edible business cards in the first place? What is the big in it?

Ok, what is basic material of these edible business cards?
* Cookies
* Chocolate (of course)
* Peanut










This jar of peanuts were engraved using laser etching technology and yes, they bear Japanese. A jar of 150 business peanuts (card) costs around $50

The whole idea is definitely weird.

For a few coins more.

After the week long strenuous schedule of participating in a seminar on bullion price predictions, choice of investing in silver vs. gold, selling of certified rare copper coins among our community of coins collectors, I took a full 48 hours break from online trading in commodities.

The fatigue was just too much to bother making money online in bullion market. The market makers should excuse me.

Actually, after newspapers across the world have reported India’s role in pushing the gold price in the last seven days, I received several calls from the members of coins collectors group that I started 6 years ago asking me to arrange an urgent gathering.

At the meeting, I found out that all the members have read the press releases of the U.S. Gold Bureau and are aware of the new gold bars that are put on sale on site.

When my turn came, I took the members attention off the gold bars, as we are primarily coins collectors, which is not our hobby; we buy and sell rare certified coins to make money.

Oh, enough of gold and money! The less I stay away from thinking and speaking of gold, the more refreshed I will be for the coming weeks.

Lions find the safety of a plane.

Do you think someone doctored this photograph?

I am amazed at the lions' sense of identifying a safe shade to relax.

It is alright when are able to find such cool spots when are naturally roaming the forests but at this is an airstrip!

The must have been left at this place for long for the lions to spot it and rest under the shade of the plane's wings.

There doesn't seem to be any movement (human or animal) anywhere near the air strip.

So, how did one capture the animals under the wings? Where was he/she?

Perfect picture for Twitter followers.

I envy the dog who seems to be too happy to mother the ducklings. I think the dog feels grateful for the God to give it such a tolerance and love.

I always wanted to cuddle cute ducklings ever since I read a story about a lonely old woman who was living on the shores of a lake where a duck befriended her.

That duck was gone for a few weeks only to return to her friend to proudly show her offspring.

My God! Look at this parade! I think this would make a perfect picture for "Twitter Followers".

India to overtake China in population.

When it happens, I won't be alive. India is expected to overtake China in population count and it will be another 40 years away.

According to Population Reference Bureau, by the year 2050, India's population will reach 1.75 billion!

Do you when the Indian population touched the one billion mark? It was a little more than 10 years that The Telegraph India reported that dreaded figure.

As of today, the population in India stand at 1.19 billion!
When compared to that China is still ahead at 1.34 billion but their growth is expected to be much slower and estimated at 1.48 billion in 2050.

What an interestingly gloomy picture!

Online trading in gold watches?

I think I am misguided to believe that apart from gold bars, bullion watch bars as they are called, are also traded in Hong Kong stock market. These gold watches can be traded like gold bars.

These pricey watches were launched in 100 different styles meant for both men and women.

I have stored the news story in my computer and intended to blog about it. Today, I searched the Internet for authentic information. I could not find it.

Well, anyway, I have no idea to trade in gold watches even if it was introduced in Indian commodities market. I have never bought a gold bar in my life.

All I could buy was a handful of American Eagle gold coins from the U.S. Gold Bureau, the largest and trusted dealer of gold and silver in America.

Recently there was a mail circulated with messages like “Rare Photo -A snake found near Kukke Subrahmanya with 5 heads”.

Five headed snake called 'Adiseshan' is the supreme servant of Lord Vishnu who uses the huge snake as his perennial bed.

At first, I was shocked than surprised because there is a strong religious connection attached with a five headed snake in Hindu religion.

Somehow, I developed doubts over the genuineness of the picture.

I dug around the web and read that this is a fake. A skilled worker of photoshop has created this photo out a statue of a five headed snake in Karnataka, India.

Read the truth here:

Grass furniture.

After seeing these lawn arts, what is your first impression?

I am amazed at the artist who must have had the ultimate patience! Unbelievable talent.

The next thought that came to my mind is who identified this talent? Talents and skills are everywhere. It is mostly by luck that these are undug-right?

The British Government should be commended for their initiative to have erected these lawn sofas at prominent places all over London.

Oh, it is the National Trust that was responsible erecting the lawn furniture. There is not an iota of artificial materials is used in these over grown lawns.

Please let me know the name of the person who created this natural furniture.

India holds more gold than America!

It is true that the gold reserve in America is around 9,000 tons-the largest in term of reserves held by the banks. But, India holds the most gold to the tune of 13,000 tons, even though Indians buy gold coins and gold bars in lesser quantities when compared to Americans.

The gold in India is most in the form ornaments worn on human beings and on Hindu Gods. I would say India is the only country that has realized the true wealth of gold.

Indians invest in gold heavily mainly because it offers easy liquidity. While this applies to the middleclass citizens, the majority of other classes of people store gold jewels in their home and in safe vaults provided by the bank.

There was an interesting study, which revealed that, Indian cities have more jewel shops than food grains shops.

As the U.S. Gold Bureau rightly pointed out, Indians sees the beauty of a gold bar in its proven ability to diversify their savings, protect their wealth and preserve their social status.

Chips made of paper!

He is holding a bag of chips that are made of edible paper. The uniqueness of this chips is it won't get you fat; so, even overweight persons can indulge in gobbling up bags of 'slim chips' without worrying about calories or fat accumulation.

It is now available in peppermint, Blueberry and sweet potato flavors.

So, what does the manufacturer of this chips made of paper say about the taste of this paper chips?
"It is like eating flavored air".

I sure want to eat this but as of now, I have no idea where it is available.

Why wedding ring is worn on the fourth finger ?

This is interesting. Try it out !

Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?

There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese.....
* Thumb represents your Parents
* Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings
* Middle finger represents your-Self
* Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner
* Last (Little) finger represents your children

First, open both your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back

Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip

(As shown in the figure below):












Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)..., they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.

Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)... .., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.

Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)... .., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.


Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse).
You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT....., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!!

Please try this out......... ....

Liechtenstein sells gold across the counter.

Liechtenstein-how many people have heard of this tiny country that is located between Austria and Switzerland. Do you know that the people of this smallest German speaking country buy gold bullion just across their banks’ counters?

I believe it is because their GDP per person is the highest in the world! Yes, not even the Americans can come close to match their GDP.

Similar to the services offered by the U.S. Gold Bureau, Liechtenstein banks also offer to store the gold bars purchased from them safely.

However, I wonder whether the residents of Liechtenstein are exposed to the bullion market trends that the Americans have access to, provided through the newsletters of the U.S. Gold Bureau that is staffed by some of the top notch precious metals investment analysts.

Nevertheless, all over the world, the cold coins and ingots that are minted in the U.S are most sought after than any other gold commodities.

I did search for some images of the geography of Liechtenstein and what I saw was quite beautiful. I intend to blog more about Liechtenstein in a tourist point of view.

What you should know about selling your structured settlement annuity?

Very few people would reject the option of getting all the money that is due to them because of winning a lawsuit. Such windfall legally will be paid to the beneficiary only over a period as structured settlement.

Nevertheless, how many Americans are aware that they can sell structured settlement payments legally and that too tax-free?

Yes, there are financial institutions operating under Federals Laws that buy out your SSA and give you maximum possible money, which you can use for any other investment purposes.

However, since this legal transaction is carried out in the court of law, you must convince the hearing judge that you are taking this step in the interest of your family.

Sometimes, the judge may reject your selling of structured settlement but still might offer you the option of selling only part of your annuity. He does this in the best interest of you and your family.

The sale proceedings are also tax-free legally. There are cases that ended up paying tax for the receipt of selling structured settlement. However, such instances are rare and the main reason for that is, the entire transaction would have been carried out off the court of law.

Since there are several companies that buy SSA, you would better ask for quotes through Internet.

Solar Tsunami-did it hit the Britain?

I hope it did not and found some other planet as its target. I could not imagine the implications if it had hit the planet earth.

Oh, didn't you know?

The NASA team found a huge fireball as big as the size of Earth. The called it as Solar Tsunami (surely, they can find such apt names-eh? ).

When they spotted the devastating object, it was racing towards earth, somewhere around 93 million miles away.

The calculated its speed, the direction and predicted it would hit the Earth on Tuesday. Nevertheless, today is Wednesday in India. The implications, which I felt, would shake the entire world but the scientists said the solar tsunami would only spark northern and southern lights, whatever they are!

Oh yes, the predicted a disruption in communications as the fireball would burn the satellites on its path.

"It looks like the first eruption was so large that it changed the magnetic fields throughout half the Sun's visible atmosphere and provided the right conditions for the second eruption," said Dr Lucie Green, of the Mullard Space Science Laboratory, Surrey."

"This means we have a very good chance of seeing major and prolonged effects, such as the northern lights at low latitudes," she added.
