It's just another day for me. I was surprised when I looked up Friday the 13th to see the number of people who do have reactions to the date. The only time I think of 13 at all is when I purchase donuts or bagels. Is it a bakers dozen or a dozen for that price?
Dark chocolate is my favorite as well. I agree totally unadulterated chocolate is the only way to go. My husband teases me about a purist. My ice cream unadorned, my coffee black... no sweeteners or creamer for me.
"It would almost be arrogant to assume that out of countless billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars, and an increasing number of confirmed exoplanets, Earth is the only place where life has emerged." I have this argument with my mother constantly
*Naval Officer Rescues Drowning Man at Vypin Beach, Kochi*
Lt Rahul Dalal, Navigating Officer, INS Sutlej was at Vypin beach near Kochi Lighthouse for sight seeing along with his wife on the evening of 05 Apr 19. At about 4.10 p.m. the officer noticed a person struggling in water, unable to swim and trying to shout for help. A crowd had gathered, but were not able to help the victim. Lt Dalal responded immediately and went to the rescue of the drowning man, putting his own life at risk. It took him only a few minutes to reach the victim, but almost 20-25 min to bring him back to shore - despite being a good swimmer - as the undertow was strong. The officer also had to deal with the desperate and panicked victim who was pulling him down, putting both their lives in danger. The officer calmed the victim and made him hold onto his shoulders, after which he started swimming towards the beach. Though the victim was heavy, Lt Rahul mustered all his strength and managed to reach the shore with the help of some locals. The victim was, however, not breathing and unconscious. When his mouth was opened, it was found that some mangrove plants were choking his air passage. The passage was cleared from the victim's mouth and he was administered Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) by Lt Rahul, whereupon he was revived. In the meantime, the police were informed and the victim was taken to a nearby Government hospital from where he has been discharged after recuperating from his brush with death.
