Google powers Image Search with Image
Alas, Google rolls out the image search with an image! I'm not aware though when really this feature was introduced by Google search engine, but I was pretty thrilled to see it today.
I simply click on the 'camera' icon (in the images tab) and paste an image URL or even upload an image via the 'Search by image' pop-up.
I uploaded an image of mine taken at sunset. I was impressed with the results!

Nuwara Eliya, the splendor of central highlands

Rain Syndrome
The rainy days are back in Colombo after many many weeks of skin-burning sunny spells and heat waves that felt almost a far-away dessert.
This tropical island can ignite with lust of the orange sun and then snap into a cooling sensation with crystal rain drops plunging down from hasty clouds soothing the earth.
In Colombo, it may not be an exaggeration, if I write that showers are meant for rush hours! Yes, in the mornings when kids are stumbling to school and their folks are getting to work; rain makes no delay in battering the ground into the evenings and ofcourse those returning home.
The other day, opposite my home, I clicked a poor crow worriedly swinging on a cob-web of street lines not very pleased at the grey clouds rushing in carrying tons of water to pour!
The Climb to Victory
The climb to victory
The rugged climb doesn't dissuade the determined mountain climber, he revels in the challenge. Nothing can stop him from pressing on until he reaches his goal. No adversity can cause him to turn back. When he looks at the steep cliffs ahead, he doesn't focus on the danger but on the toeholds and narrow rock ledges that will take him to the peak. He isn't held back by the harshness of his surroundings or the toll the climb is taking on his body; he is propelled onward and upward by the thought of triumph.
There are many obstacles to surmount in life, but each one you conquer is another one behind you. When the going gets tough, lean on Me. Let Me lead the way and guide you up the rugged cliffs. I know all the danger spots and how to get past them. Together we will surmount each obstacle, together we will reach the summit, and together we will plant the flag of victory. Follow Me!
Ever-present help
You can find comfort in knowing that good can come of anything and that I allow trials in your life not to make you misrable, but better. Still at times it is hard to be so philosophical-all you want is some relief! You don't want to hear, "All this is for your good" - you just want to be free of the problem.
I know how you feel. When I was on the cross, the pain was so excruciating that I just wanted it to be over. I kept reminding Myself that I was enduring this so that you and a whole world full of sinners like you could be brought to salvation. I knew it was worth it, but it was a supreme struggle to keep such altruistic thoughts foremost in My mind. In My Father's time, the suffering did cease and I was released into the spiritual realm where such agony could no longer touch Me, but what an ordeal that was!
At the time of My suffering, My Father could not intervene. I had to go through that for you. But now that I have, I am always there to help through your times of pain and suffering. I left Myself be separated from divine help for that time so you could always have it available. So hold on. The victory, comfort, and surcease from suffering will come.
