Ganesha

The son of Shiva and Pavrati, Ganesha has an elephantine countenance with a curved trunk and big ears, and a huge pot-bellied body of a human being. He is the Lord of success and destroyer of evils and obstacles. He is also worshipped as the god of education, knowledge, wisdom and wealth. In fact, Ganesha is one of the five prime Hindu deities whose idolarty is glorified.

Significance of Ganesha Form

Ganesha's head symbolizes the Atman or the soul, which is the ultimate supreme reality of human existance, and his human body signifies Maya or the earthly existence of human beings. The elephant head denotes wisdom and its trunk represents 'Om', the sound symbol of cosmic reality. In his upper right hand Ganesha holds a goad, which helps him propel mankind forward on the eternal path and remove obstacles from the way. The noose in Ganesha's left hand is a gentle implement to capture all difficulties.

The broken tusk that Ganesha holds like a pen in his lower right hand is a symbol of sacrifice, which he broke for writing the Mahabharata. The rosary in his other hand suggests that the pursuit of knowledge should be continuous. The laddoo (sweet) he holds in his trunk indicates that one must discover the sweetness of Atman. His fan like ears convey that he is all ears to petition. The snake that runs round his waist represents energy in all forms.

Ganesha is also the destroyer of vanity, selfishness and pride. He is the personification of material universe in all its various magnificent manifestations.

What makes an itch itch?

It used to be thought that the sensation of itching was caused by low level stimulation of the nerves responsible for feeling pain. Like pain, the feeling of itchiness is delayed slightly from the event that causes the pain or itch. But both sensations lead to different responses. Pain leads to a reflex action that removes us from the source of injury while an itch causes us to scratch. Interestingly, scratching too can be a reflex reaction that needs no input from the brain.

While itching can be caused by lots of conditions such as eczema and jaundice, what about all those Itch's with no obvious cause? Well, a lot of the time is psychological - how many times have you itched while reading this? Weird itching tends to be more common in those with drier skin such as old folk and is made worse by irritants. If your not old or ill with some serious disease or infected with lice, its probably just all in your mind.

Hey Ya

Baby hedgehog

We are entirely smooth

I am heaventsent. Don't you dare forget. I am all you've ever wanted, what all the other boys all promised. Sorry I told. I just needed you to know. I think in decimals and dollars. I am the cause to all your problems. Shelter from cold, we are never alone. Coordinate brain and mouth. Then ask me what it's like to have myself to figured out? Wish I knew.

I hope this song starts a craze. The kinds of song that ignites the airwaves. The kind of song that makes people glad to be where they are, with whoever they're there with. This is what every line is about who I don't wanna write about anymore. Hope you come down with something they can't diagnose, don't have the cure for. Holding onto your grudge. Oh its hard to have someone to love. And keeping quiet is hard. Because you can't keep a secret if it never was a secret to start. At least pretend you didn't want to get caught.

Oh we're so controversial. We are entirey smooth. We admit to the truth we are the best at what we do. And these are the words you wish you wrote down, this Is the way you wish your voice sounds. Handsome and smart. Oh my tongues the only muscle on my body that works harder than my heart. And it's all from watching tv. And from speeding up my breathing. Wouldn't stop if I could, oh it hurts to be this good. You're holding onto your grudge. It hurts to always have to be honest with the one that you love.

This is the craze that ony we can bestow. This is the price you pay for loss of control.
This is the break in the bend.
This is the closest of calls.
This is the reason you're alone,
This is the reason you fall.

In your head

Of she's caught in your mind beware
The day may come you don't notice her there.
If it makes you scared,
Don't go to sleep with her, in your head.

Fall at your feet

I'm really close tonight, and I feel like I'm moving inside her.
Lying in the dark, and I think that I'm beginning to know her.
Let it go
I'll be there when you call.
Whenever I fall at your feet
You let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain.

This inspirations got to be on the flow

Look at the ivy on the cold clinging wall
Look at the flowers and the green grass so tall
It's not a matter of when push comes to shove
It's just and hour on the wings of a dove.

I dig it when your fancy dressed up in lace
I dig it when you have a smile on your gave
This inspirations got to be on the flow
This invitations got to see it and know.

It's just warm love
And it's everpresent everywhere
That warm love

To the country in going
Lay and laugh in the sun
You can bring, bring your guitar along
We'll sing some songs, we'll have some fun

The sky is crying and it's time to go home
And we shall hurry to the car from the foam
Sit by the fire and dry our wet clothes
It's raining outside from the skies up above.

Tender

Tender is the night
Lying by your side
Tender is the touch
Of someone that you love too much
Tender is the day
The demons go away
Lord I need to find
Someone who can heal my mind

It's like jesus's day and shit... Jesus loves vampire weekend
