type='text'>It's Never Too Late To Fall In Love...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;She stopped on her morning walk along the sea front, to watch the children playing on the beach. Watching them splash amongst the waves, leaping in and out, air filled with cries of laughter. Her gaze swept along the beach taking in the family's enjoying the sunshine. Some building sand castle's or playing ball, others just lapping up the sun rays.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;A ball came rolling towards her, and a 'hey miss, get our ball please' came from a small group of boys playing soccer on the beach. She knew what she wanted to do, she had done it so many, many times before. Just flick the ball up with her toe, onto her knee then volley it back to the waiting boys. Her mind told her body what to do, but is no longer answered as it used to do. Her attempt to flick the ball, was slow, and she found herself scurrying around to pick the ball up and throw it back, rather than kick it. She was like a little girl she thought, no not a little girl anymore...have grown old! " After all ", she said to herself with a sign, "that's what I am."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;She watched the sun sparkling on the shimmering sea, and the soft gentle breeze, sent her mind back, not that many years ago at all really, but it seemed a lifetime.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;She had moved to the coast having finished her daily working days. Her life had been one of enjoyment, and now she needed rest. Throughout her years she had known every emotion going from the happiness of love, to the hurt of an ignorance. But now she had thought she needed a place to see out her last lonely years. She had found a small cottage with enough of a garden to keep her busy, a pub near enough to pass the odd evenings, and views and walks to keep the body and mind in active. It was on one of these walks she had first met him , just as she had round the headland, there he was just sitting there gazing out to sea, the sun behind him, surrounding him like a golden halo. A vision that would always stick with her for the rest of her life. It was the start of so many day and months of happiness, something she thought would never happen again to her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;After all, it was too late...time passed by. He never once mentioned the years between them. And when once she had brought up about her age, his age, he sealed her lips with a kiss and said, " &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's never too late to fall in love...,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;" the lines of an old song that even now echoed through her thoughts. He soon moved into their cottage, and their world was one of roses, sunny days and happiness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;A chill ran through her, like the first sign of the coming of winter on an autumn day. She remembered last few months of their lives together, and the bitter taste left when he felt her all alone, a taste that poisoned her body, and broke her heart. Still photographs flashes across her minds eye, his smile, his purity, and that first time she saw him, lit by the sun. Then the last time she saw him as she held his hand, and she could swear he was at that moment once more surrounded by that same golden glow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;A ball brushing against her legs, woke her up from her dreams. This time she thought, and she kicked the ball, straight back to the children who waved and said thanks, as she smiled and looked down at his last gift to her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;There in the sand she always enjoyed seeing people happy around along the sea front on her daily walk, was the sleeping form of her dreams.

But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished assignments, time still to be served. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;And i realise, three passions have governed my life:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The longings for love, the search for knowledge, And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind]. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;color:#333399;"&gt;* Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. In the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;color:#333399;"&gt;* With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of [people]. I have wished to know why the stars shine. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;* &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, but always pity brought me back to earth;  Cries of pain reverberated in my heart of the love lost. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, And I too suffer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;This has been my life!!!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Dont know if that was too complex to understand..... :-)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;~ Nithya&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19483888-114624272706232048?l=bloomingthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bloomingthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/114624272706232048/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19483888&amp;postID=114624272706232048&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19483888/posts/default/114624272706232048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19483888/posts/default/114624272706232048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bloomingthoughts.blogspot.com/2006/04/i-lost-you-before-i-even-found-you.html' title='I lost You before I even found You...'/><author><name>I...Me...Myself...</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01251304532635353818</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19483888.post-114606632827400567</id><published>2006-04-27T03:38:00.000+12:00</published><updated>2006-04-27T03:45:28.286+12:00</updated><title type='text'>I Will Always Cherish the Past...</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;"&gt;I will always cherish the past&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;"&gt;The days are gone but memories still last &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19483888-114606632827400567?l=bloomingthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bloomingthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/114606632827400567/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19483888&amp;postID=114606632827400567&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19483888/posts/default/114606632827400567'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19483888/posts/default/114606632827400567'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bloomingthoughts.blogspot.com/2006/04/i-will-always-cherish-past.html' title='I Will Always Cherish the Past...'/><author><name>I...Me...Myself...</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01251304532635353818</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19483888.post-113466569593205327</id><published>2005-12-16T03:43:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2005-12-16T04:22:32.826+11:00</updated><title type='text'>A Treasured Day...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Am in a fairly good mood today firstly its my mommy dear's b'day.... secondly I received a mail from &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;International Society of Poet's, MD, USA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; saying...The Editors of &lt;em&gt;The International Library of Poetry&lt;/em&gt; were thrilled to inform me that my poem has bestowed the prestigious &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Editor's Choice Award&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; because of my artistic accomplishments and unique perspective -- characteristics found in the most noteworthy poetic works.

A state of unconsciousness. Often accompanied by dreams. I wish I could get myself some sleep but my entire body is hurting. I don't know how come. It's lame to write an entry about this but I want to keep myself busy till the pain vanishes. Whatever position I put myself into; it always hurts all over the place. I don't know what's next. I've tried sleepingpills, I've tried painkillers. Nothing seems to work. My doctor says that I'll have to learn to live with it. I'm not sure if I can. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Sleep is very important to me lately. It's the only time that I can truly "escape" now that I'm done with real hard painful days. And now I have to miss those hours... Aouch. I have slept for 5 hours in the last 4 days. It's NOT good. And the hardest part is that I'm actually tired. I wànt to fall asleep. It's not that I don't wanna... I just can't. Bcoz of the pain. I really don't know what I'm going to do tonight... It's 4am and I have to be at work at 10am again. That's 6 hours to go. And prolly no sleep again...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Can one die from having not enough nightrest, I wonder...?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19483888-113448946027398306?l=bloomingthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bloomingthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/113448946027398306/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19483888&amp;postID=113448946027398306&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19483888/posts/default/113448946027398306'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19483888/posts/default/113448946027398306'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bloomingthoughts.blogspot.com/2005/12/sleep.html' title='Sleep.....'/><author><name>I...Me...Myself...</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01251304532635353818</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19483888.post-113440794808725087</id><published>2005-12-13T04:16:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2005-12-13T04:20:01.496+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Simulation...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Those who believe suitably programmed computers could enjoy conscious experience of the sort we enjoy must accept the possibility that their own experience is being generated as part of a computerized simulation.

I think I have discovered a lot about this Romantic love. I thank my dumb and idiot collegues who gave me an opportunity to think over this issue through the useless meetings I had today with them. My quest have just ended up about half an hour ago, when I finally saw the dictionary meanining of Romance.This idea of romantic love, the way we think of it today, is really a fairly recent notion, historically speaking. Even today, the majority of the Earth's population takes a more conservative approach to relationships especially in our Eastern countries. The general idea is: First you meet, then you marry, then you work together building trust and friendship, and then love is just a natural byproduct of that endeavor. I think Mark Twain understood this idea, when he said, "You don't know what true love is until you've been married a quarter-century."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;But generally, in the West, people tend to treat this emotion of "being in love" as a grand, wonderful thing. That kind of love can certainly be a powerful substance, but then again, so can cocaine. In reality, I believe it to be an unstable and dangerous state of mind. When someone is in love, they are prone to make poor decisions, to place themselves in compromising circumstances, to sacrifice their principles, to subject themselves to mistreatment, and to generally act in ways that could be unhealthy. Plus, when that love is not reciprocated, it can cause intense feelings of anger, hatred, and hurtfulness. I know that being in love can be very exciting at times. I'm sure that schizophrenia can also be very exciting at times, but that's hardly a desirable state of mind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I was not entirely surprised to see my dictionary define romance as: "a disposition to ignore what is real."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;So, its been a wonderful day at my end...which passed much at ease with not much work-load unlike last few weeks had been..... ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;~ Nithya!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19483888-113397192241292919?l=bloomingthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bloomingthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/113397192241292919/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19483888&amp;postID=113397192241292919&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19483888/posts/default/113397192241292919'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19483888/posts/default/113397192241292919'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bloomingthoughts.blogspot.com/2005/12/romance.html' title='Romance...... ;)'/><author><name>I...Me...Myself...</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01251304532635353818</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19483888.post-113371019115676347</id><published>2005-12-05T02:12:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2005-12-13T04:13:11.243+11:00</updated><title type='text'>The Drifting Cloud...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Today was one of those days which made me dwell into an introspection....and i came to a conclusion that life's been fairly simple for me...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;I have been looking towards the past recently, and I have been doing it in order to liberate myself from it. Am feeling like revisiting my childhood or rekindling certain relationships with old friends. But then I presume the planets are making me a bit too romantic ;-), and unexpectedly I have been disappointed by the reality of things. And I have realised looking backwards isn't really the best way to move towards the future.

Soon after, I began to tend toward being an astronaut. When I was a little older, I decided I should become an engineer and later still, I thought I might like to be a well-known architect. Finally I settled into the shoes of a nameless IT-Professional. Little later after acquiring some managerial skills here I am to the better corporate world working in the Business Development domain! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;What is this all about?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;My name is Nithya Anantham. I am another victim of youth with a bent toward's this early adulthood, locked in a steady but natural downward slope from great, unique aspirations to comfortable orthodoxy. I am me, you are me, we are we, we are everybody.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;When did this start?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Youth lacks experience and therefore demands experimentation. So, as a child you may freely question, and contradict; you may visualize and fantasize; you may explore the world and yourself to your heart's content because it is understood and expected. And then predictably, as expectancy changes, so do you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Where is this going?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;This is a path born of necessity. We must conform to operate successfully as a society. So we drive on the right side of the road, we pay our taxes and bills, we learn to cook and clean, balance our checkbooks, we buy letter-pads and pens , 9-5 jobs, chatty friends, cute pets, clothing that isn't new enough to be trendy nor old enough to be retro, .You see yourself and scream, "what have I become?!!" and enter mid-life crisis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Why does this matter?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I am afraid of the world and I am afraid of what I might become. I don't want to be everybody; I want to be me. I need chaos. I need aspirations. I need that supernatural that breaks up the regularity of life. So here is my mission: I will love with passion, I will live without boundary, I will not be undersold. I will remain unique, stupid, and pungently me, good and bad, until the day I go to out and set my foot to some extraordinal accomplishment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;~ Nithya!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19483888-113345052508247560?l=bloomingthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bloomingthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/113345052508247560/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19483888&amp;postID=113345052508247560&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19483888/posts/default/113345052508247560'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19483888/posts/default/113345052508247560'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bloomingthoughts.blogspot.com/2005/12/lil-about-me.html' title='A lil about me... :-)'/><author><name>I...Me...Myself...</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01251304532635353818</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry></feed>
