EL ALMA TIENE COLORES


¿El alma tiene colores?
Si por supuesto, el alma tiene colores.

Y ¿cuáles son esos colores?
Son los colores de la vida, del amanecer, inclusive del anochecer.

Colores como las flores en primavera, colores que reflejan pasión, sentimiento, amor.

El alma tiene todos los colores de los sueños y de las ilusiones.

El alma también tiene los colores -aunque no lo creamos- de la tristeza y la amargura, pero estos son pasajeros; aquellos que son duraderos son los colores de la alegría, aquellos colores que contemplamos en el rostro de los miles de niños todos diferentes, todos magníficos y maravillosos.

Por ultimo, el alma tiene los colores que Dios ha puesto en todos los corazones, aquellos colores que reflejan lo importante que tú eres. Colores para ser, colores para vivir, colores para dar y recibir.

Si, el alma tiene colores. Aquellos colores que nunca dejaran de brillar y hacer de tu día, un día feliz.

El alma tiene colores.

Tweetup at IFFI International Film Festival India @ kingfisher valley

Tweetup - at IFFI International Film Festival India @ kingfisher valley





I have just got back home from IFFI, watched a few good movies among them I felt "7 days in slow motion" is a very nice movie.

Later I met a few twitter friends at the Kingfisher Valley @ IFFI

I was also informed by them that being the winner of their contest I would be getting some DVD's which would be sent by courier to me later. Among those present was @dhempe the winner of the "trip to Goa".

Konkani Rocks - Saskia Laroo Band fusion of konkani music in a jazz rock format

Goa Rocks - Konkani music in a jazz rock format


Date : Thursday, 3rd Dedember 2009
Time 6.30 pm to 11 pm
Location : Goa Velha Church Grounds



Goa has always been know as Rome of the East. However, there is so much to Goa, and its been a wonder that no other world city has called itself the Goa of the west, and it is time to change that!

With so much happening for, and in Goa, it is one of the most exciting places in the world today and it is a fact that Goa has found its rightful place in the Sun. So, is it not to time shout from the rooftop about Goa’s pedigree?

Our last year’s Jazz for Peace show was a stunning success, and the icon who made it happen was Saskia Laroo, the magical trumpeter from Netherlands who will be with us this December. Saskia will fuse Konkani music in a jazz rock format and her band will perform popular Konkani music in thus creating an international fusion that will excite the grassroots.

Besides, Konkani music is going to be honored by the virtuoso violin player, violin chakaravarthy gold medal winner S. Harikumar from Kerala who will perform with Sonia Shirsat as well as Saskia Laroo Band. Harikumar is one if the most exciting violinist in the country today.

Additionally, India’s top lead guitarist and composer Amit Heri will also participate in honoring the language that we hold so dear to our hearts. All in all it is a show of grand proportion considering that musicians from all over the world will perform in salute to our mother tongue.

The church of Goa Velha led by parish priest Fr. Raul Colaco he is all excited about this grand event which will also commemorate 140 years of the church. Elaborate arrangements are being done to light up the church in grand style in true heritage jazz and Armando Gonsalves style.

To make things even more exciting, we have spoken to leading Goan local bands who will perform local Konkani music in their own style thus bringing about a further fusion of bringing international as well as local musicians under one programme.
These include
1. The stunning diva Sonia Shirsat along with her five piece ensemble
2. Sigmund de Souza along with Carlos Gonsalves on percussion, Rocky Lazarus on bass and others


The venue for the Goa Velha show is near the majestic church St. Andrews - typical of Goa, full of charm, coziness and camaraderie. After all, what are we working towards? This event is about the heartbeat of Goa, the music that unites the exciting people of Goa.

ALGO PARA TI


Escúchame
Tengo algo importante que decir.
Algo que no sospechas,
algo que quizás no te imaginas.
Pero tengo para ti,
algo muy valioso pues no tiene precio.
Y yo pienso que brilla
más que el sol o que las estrellas,
Que mas profundo es
que el mismo mar y el horizonte.
Yo no se si tu lo vas a entender,
pero cuando entre nosotros el amor se quebró
y se hizo pedazos, aquel día cuando me fui
recogí un pedacito de mí,
que en verdad ya no era mío.
Quizás algún día quisieras tú
recibir este tesoro y secreto,
este misterio, que el amor muriendo dejo.
De verdad yo sigo mi camino,
y tú sigue tu destino.
Pero hoy, voy a dejar delante de la puerta,
de aquel lugar donde por primera vez te conocí.
Sí lo recoges o lo dejas, es asunto tuyo.
Yo lo hago porque así lo siento,
Algo importante se quedo en el tintero,
algo que dice de todo y de nada,
algo que el amor, ese mi gran amor,
lo dejo para ti.
¡Adiós!
Es un beso.

EL AMOR VERDADERO JAMAS PUEDE MORIR


El amor cuando es verdadero jamás puede morir porque es sincero. Pero si el amor nos abandona entonces sentiríamos que la vida se ha vuelto muerte. Puede derrumbarse una montaña, quemarse un árbol, un bosque, pero se acabarían todas las montañas, desaparecerían todos los bosques si fuera el fin de la vida, podría ser.

Sin embargo, el amor cuando esta ausente no es ,que se torne un sentimiento indiferente sino un clamor. Cuando un río se seca y se agrieta la tierra y el sol calcina todo, bien podemos decir que aquel río no esta,¿ pero y su memoria? ¿Quien estuvo allí? ¿Quien vivió de aquella agua? Los peces que nadaron, las plantas y las flores que crecieron a los lados .

¿Como puede negar lo vivido? Puede un puñal atravesar el corazón y la muerte declararse vencedor pero la sangre derramada no se puede negar aunque se seque , se congele, se haga polvo y el viento la disipe.

Allí, donde el amor nació un día alguna vez quizás dentro de mil años volverá a nacer una flor. Cuando muere el amor, el amor algún día triunfara sobre todo aquello que se halla perdido.Por que hay un único sentido en toda la existencia.

Y aunque un día el sol deje de brillar y la tierra ya no este en el firmamento ,el sentimiento mas perfecto y mas puro viene de Dios mismo, por eso el amor es inmortal.

EL DIA QUE TE ENCUENTRE


El día que te encuentre
volverá a latir mi corazón,
y la sangre correrá por mis venas,
y mi piel sentirá otra vez calor.
Abriré los ojos de mi alma,
y se despejara mis miedos, y mis dudas,
y serán para mi como una antorcha de luz,
disipando toda la oscuridad.
Y mi vida amara tu vida, y seremos uno,
como el agua del río, del mar,
y yo te brindare amor, para toda la eternidad,
por que llegaste tú,
la flor mas hermosa, la ternura.

SIN LIMITES


Cuando el Amor no tiene fronteras no hay abismos ni distancias, ni nada que pueda separar el Amor del Amor. Esta es una ley de la vida, y es por esta razón, es que el Amor siempre habita en el presente y jamás abandonará, porque siempre esta alerta, siempre pendiente, enamorada de la vida y comprometida incondicionalmente. El Amor es espíritu, porque es la fuente primordial de todo lo que existe.

Y puede ser fácil esto sin explicarlo, pero la explicación es clara, sencilla, directa y profunda: "El Amor es vital y es integral, porque es la expresión más honesta y a su vez más pura del interés genuino que procura un bien real".

El decir: "Yo te Amo", es decir, yo me intereso por ti, por lo que te sucede, por lo que necesites, por tus alegrías, por tus penas. Por eso el Amor es real, porque realmente esta presente, no tan solo como un sueño filosófico inalcanzable, sino como una comunicación que todo lo que procura, es el bien perdurable. Por eso no tiene fronteras, porque nada puede encadenarlo ni limitarlo, es como la luz para los ojos simplemente nos enseña y nos da la visión de la realidad.

Musings on ARIA role="application"

The W3C Accessible Rich Internet Applications 1.0 specification (ARIA) is currently in "Last Call". The purpose of ARIA is to provide a means for web authors to explicitly identify roles, states, and properties of interactive user interface components on web pages, thereby making them accessible to users of assistive technologies (AT).

ARIA introduces the role attribute, and defines several dozen roles that can be assigned to this attribute. Seven of these are so-called landmark roles, which identify specific sections that commonly appear on web pages: banner, navigation, search, main, complementary (for sidebars), and contentinfo (for footers). Those of you who were counting may be wondering why I only listed six landmark roles.

That's because the seventh, "application", is fundamentally different. The other six landmarks are useful as targets for AT, such as the popular screen reader JAWS, which jumps directly to the next landmark when users press the semi-colon key. Historically web authors have had to add this functionality themselves using "Skip navigation" and similar links, which jump to defined targets on the same page.

The "application" role is supported in the same way as other landmark roles (for navigation), but it has a much greater role than the others in determining how AT will behave. According to the "application" section of the ARIA spec:

The intent is to hint to the assistive technology to switch its normal browsing mode functionality to one in which they would for an application. User agents have a browse navigation mode where keys, such as up and down arrows, are used to browse the document. This native behavior prevents the use of these keys by a web application.

In other words, when screen readers and other assistive technologies encounter role="application", they're supposed to relinquish control of users' keystrokes to the web application.

This raises some concerns for me:

  1. How will users handle their AT not working as they expect it to?

  2. Will web application developers do a satisfactory job of providing keyboard and non-visual access to their applications, so that the usual AT keystrokes truly aren't necessary?

  3. Will web applications be built using standard keyboard interfaces, so users don't have to memorize a different set of keystrokes for every online application they encounter?

If web authors can't answer Yes to questions 2 and 3, I question whether it's safe for AT to relinquish control.

An Example Web Application

An excellent example web application is QueueMusic (thanks, Jayme Johnson!). This application allows you to "Find music, put it in your queue, and then let it stream." The body element looks like this:

<body role="application">

In this application, the web page is divided into three main sections, each corresponding with one of the three steps in the process. Each section has a heading atop it (marked up with <h3>): Song Search, Your Queue, and Now Playing.

screen shot of the Queue Music interface

In the Song Search section, there is a search field. You enter a search phrase into that field, press Enter, and a list of results appears. If you're a mouse user you can now click any item in the results list and that's added to Your Queue (the middle section of the page). Then, if you click any item in Your Queue it plays in the media player that occupies the Now Playing section.

Here's what happens if you're a screen reader user (specifically, if you're using JAWS 11). The behavior is more-or-less the same whether you're using Firefox 3.5 or Internet Explorer 8:

You launch the page, and immediately JAWS announces "Application Mode On". On most web pages, you would now press "H" to jump through the headings on the page, because this gives you a sense of how the page is organized and structured. You try that on this page, and there are in fact headings on this page that might be beneficial for navigation, but JAWS doesn't respond because you're in Application Mode, so you don't know there are headings and even if you did you couldn't jump to them. Something's amiss here though because usually when there are no headings on a page JAWS tells you this, whereas in this case JAWS isn't doing or saying anything. Curious, you try Insert+F6, which normally brings up a list of headings. Now JAWS says "This feature is only available from within a virtual document, such as a page on the Internet." You curse JAWS, because you know with some certainty that you are in fact visiting a page on the Internet.

You also try Insert + F7, which normally would bring up a list of links from the page. JAWS, however, repeats what it told you a moment ago, and you curse JAWS a second time, this time louder and more profane than the first.

You press "f" to jump to the first form field, but nothing happens. (Even after you've found the form field by other means, this will continue to be a frustration for you because you can't easily get back to the form field to search again).

You eventually discover that you can tab to the search field, and you type in your text and press Enter. This returns a list of results and you're able to navigate down through that list with the down arrow. However, when you find the item you want to add to your queue, pressing Enter doesn't queue it. If you had eyesight, you may or may not guess that right arrow is the key that adds the item to your queue, since your queue is positioned to the right of the results list. Since you're navigating audibly, this spatial relationship is meaningless to you.

Once an item is in your queue, you might think you send that item to the media player using right arrow, since that worked in the previous step and the same spatial logic still applies. Not so though. The Enter key may have failed you in the previous step, but it actually works in this step. If you had read the application Help in the beginning, you would have discovered and memorized the sixteen keystrokes that operate this application, but you didn't do that because the Help link is at the very bottom of the page, and it didn't show up when you pressed Insert+F7 to see a links list. Plus, that's a lot of keystrokes to remember. You use many different web applications each day, and it's unrealistic for you to have to memorize a different set of keystrokes for each one.

Someday you will also know that you can toggle application mode off. When you're in Application Mode in JAWS, Insert + V cycles through Application Mode and Virtual Mode. Currently, Application Mode isn't documented at all within JAWS Help.

What Users Are Saying

It may be too soon to know how users are reacting, or will be reacting, to web applications as defined by ARIA. This is all new enough that it isn't yet in widespread use. I encourage those who are actively working to define the ARIA spec to do usability testing with average AT users. I did find a couple of user comments on-line:

First, there's this post from the JAWS-Users list:

Hi Listers, I'm using Jaws 10 and Vista. Tonight everytime I try to go to Yahoo mail, Jaws says application mode on. I don't have any idea what that means, but I can't navigate the page at all with the PC/virtual cursor. I can read with the Jaws cursor, but when I route PC to Jaws, reading is very strange with Jaws not recognizing links or responding to any commands. I would like to understand what application mode is and how to not have it come on without being asked for.

Similarly, there's this two-part quote from a single thread on the WebAIM list:

I dont know what you've done but it messes up JAWS real bad. I checked the 2 examples and somewhere down the page JAWS goes into a mode I've never heard before, applications mode. When it is in this mode I cant navigate anywhere and have to close the page. I'm using JAWS 10.0...
...I have never heard of applications mode, I found it frustrating and if I run into it I'll just close down the page and leave, how many others will do the same?

Conclusion

Despite my being critical in this blog post, I don't necessarily think role="application" is a bad idea. However, all stakeholders need to carefully consider what to do with it. AT makers need to carefully consider the impact on their users, and implement support in a way that makes web applications easier for their users to use, not harder (take note, Freedom: Telling users this feature only works on the Internet is not good implementation). And web authors need to carefully consider whether using role="application" is truly necessary for their site, and if so, they need to be extremely thorough in developing an interface that works well for AT users whose typical interface no longer works. This obviously will require extraordinary attention to detail, and most importantly, plenty of usability testing that includes AT users.

I haven't seen any great resources yet on how to develop web applications that meet these conditions. Section 3.2.6.2 of the WAI-ARIA Best Practices provides some useful guidance, but we need more and better tutorials or I'm afraid we'll just end up with a bunch of bad apps. If folks know of more and better resources, let me know and I'll add them here.

¿QUIEN VALORA AL AMOR?



En lo más profundo del universo, una voz no pudo contener su llanto, el amor ha muerto. Y esta voz, es la voz del alma que mira con profunda tristeza la agonía de algunos pocos corazones sensibles que habitan en un mundo al parecer indiferente, ya no se cuida, ya no atiende al amor , en toda su grandeza, en toda su esplendor. Es como si el amor hubiera pasado a ser como un objeto que se puede tomar, que se puede dejar. Pero claro que no es así.

¿Quién valora al amor? ¿Quién lo reconoce? ¿Quién lo entiende?¿Quién lo añora?¿Quién lo busca?¿Quién al encontrar lo cuida y lo atesora?¿Quién al tenerlo lo sabe conservar con tal manera y dignidad , que el amor tal como una flor expresa su mejor diseño , su mejor color. El amor ha muerto y como sustituto un engaño, una ilusión que tan solo aparenta una fantasía pasajera, que no tiene conciencia verdadera, que se cambia, que se muda, que se agita, porque se compra y se vende.

El amor ya no se ha vuelto a ver mas o quizás demasiado poco. Sí lo encontraras no lo dejes ir, no lo pierdas, no lo engañes, no le mientas, no lo ahuyentes. Cuídalo si es posible con toda la capacidad de tu ser porque solo en el amor se encuentra tu propia felicidad ¿Serías capaz de callar tu risa para siempre? ¿Sería capaz de negar los sueños, las ilusiones? Entonces, permítete vivir en plenitud. ¿Pero quién es capaz de escuchar al amor? pregúntate.

El amor ha muerto, para quien no sabe escuchar a su propio corazón.

JUVENTUD PERMANENTE

El despertar espiritual ofrece más que sabiduría intelectual y serenidad. Me refiero a un aspecto muy importante y significativo, que es conocido como la inmortalidad. Esta inmortalidad se comprende mejor, como " Vitalidad y Juventud Permanente."

¿Como es esto posible?
La energía espiritual cubre todas las áreas de la existencia. Por eso, su efecto beneficioso se da en la función y razón de la fuerza universal de vida. Esta fuerza se encuentra en todo el universo.Por esta razón, en cuanto a la juventud, significa que esta es una energía renovadora, no solamente positiva sino también superior. Dicho en otras palabras, aquel que medita y sigue el camino espiritual, mantiene una mente serena, libre de violencia, negatividad y de todo mal.

Cuando esto sucede, toda la naturaleza fluye con la mejor calidad de energía. Esta vitalidad, entonces, es una consecuencia natural de la condición de armonía universal. Lo que sucede cuando la energía del ser humano se desarrolla en forma circular y se llama la rueda de energía o chakra.

Las personas que tienen una manera espiritual, desarrollan la actitud de sincronización, unión e integración. En esta forma, el universo completo se integra con el hombre. Y el hombre se integra con todo el universo.

La juventud permanente viene del gozo permanente de amar el universo en forma incondicional porque la vida es una.

Daily Look: Lauren Conrad

Lauren Conrad always has great style and the launch of "Assassin's Creed II" in Los Angeles was no exception. Conrad looked amazing in a pewter hued micro mini dress and (my personal favorite) an over-sized sequin cardigan. She completed the look with modern strappy stilettos and turquoise nail polish. Love this look!

My meeting with Barbara and Pamela

It was nice to meet my friends Barbara & Pamela at Calangute. It was a short and sweet meeting. Barbara is the Delhi ambassador for CS and Pamela is her friend.
