  Octopus 1.     You may often have heard someone proudly saying that he has blue blood running through his veins. 2.     This figuratively means that he is the descendant of a royal dynasty. 3.     Did you know that a creature living in the deep blue ocean really has blue-coloured blood? 4.     We are talking about the mollusc, the eight-legged octopus here. 5.     Octopuses are natural marine architects which build homes for themselves with rocks. 6.     With their powerful arms, they can easily shift rocks from one venue to another. 7.     Their rock den abodes have a stone door entrance which the octopus can lock after it safely enters its sweet home. 8.     Even after they are securely at home, they are better off without visitors. 9.     They disperse shells and rocks to carefully conceal themselves within their dens. 10.                        After catching prey which comprises worms, crustaceans, molluscs, prawns and fish they retire to their dens to savour

  Man consumes pesticide As I write this, a young man is fighting for his life. He is an alcoholic and is always in and out of jail. This morning he put pesticide in his spirit and drank it. His body is turning cold and he can hardly breathe. He is in a queue for admission to the hospital for the poor where detailed paperwork is going on as protocols dictate that a police case must be registered before further proceeding. These rules delay saving those who attempt suicide. We aren’t sure if this was accidental or deliberate mixing. The treatment of patients who try to take their lives is shocking in supposedly good private hospitals as well. In one of these places, the person who attempted it was slapped several times by the doctor and as he felt that an evil person like this deserves mistreatment, ward boys were ordered to strip her naked to change her into a gown as there was no nurse at the emergency room. In the case of domestic violence when a person tries to kill oneself, t
