Classical music to calm dogs.

A newspapers is offering several tips to keep our pet dogs in mood during Diwali. It is not unknown that dogs, during this festive season ,are the most unhappy lots. They cannot tolerate the sound of loud crackers. Today while reading the newspapers, I found a new method offered to calm and sooth our pet dogs. We must thank the publisher for understanding our feelings towards the troubles of our dear ones. The solution given by them is to play Classical Music to sooth their nerves. We are all aware of dogs loving music.Probably that was the reason why the HMV's (His Master's Voice) symbol was a dog listening intently to music coming out through it's amplifier! Thanks to TOI for offering us such a wonderful solution. What says the Classical Music fraternity?

The last call of the Titanic !

 Is the Titanic destined for oblivion in the near future ? The ship that sank on the icy North Atlantic seabed on April 15, 1912 and along with it took 1500 lives- is in its last leg. It is slowly & certainly breathing its last breath-succumbing to corrosive salts, rust etc. The crow's nest from where the  first signal ' Iceberg right ahead !' came literally vanished.  The captain's cabin has collapsed. It was here that the naval officer Edward John Smith was resting when the ship struck the iceberg! One could not but feel sorry for the ongoing circumstances that will soon leave no trace of the historical ship ! (Thanks to TOI for the news )
