Cherishable

Lately, I asked my mum why we left going to the Cheshire homes which we used to visit when we were small and the blind schools to encourage the blind children while they struggled with their life? I asked more, as to why we don't anymore go to the old age homes and orphanages to serve?

Paradise in Plasticine

At the 2009 RHS Chelsea (England) Flower show, exhibiter James May created a stir when he constructed an entire garden out of Plasticene!

A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants.Flowers are perhaps the sweetest thing you can give your loved ones. The most ludicrous gadgets will be invented by humanity, the most adorable stuff toy and most astounding Valentines card will be manufactured, and civilizations will rise and fall.

It happened in an early morning drawing class. During a particular pose, the artist looked intensely at the model, took a deep breath and with calm awareness drew a line on the paper.

The teacher stopped teaching the
