While my bro was with us for a few days, we made some plans but nothing worked out mainly because of the weather playing spoilsport- frost, snow, freezing temperatures and early sunsets. We did walk around Baltinglass Town and Baltinglass Community Park but wasn’t able to go any further though. The roads in Baltinglass Town were yet to be gritted with salt and mud. One day it was a bit sunny and we visited Carlow. Our first stop was Tesco Supermarket at Fairgreen Shopping Centre. We had a look around and bought batteries for my bro’s cam. Then we shopped at a few clothing shops. We went to a gift shop and got some gifts for his friends. There wasn’t much time to spend in Heatons. So after that we had a look at Halfords, Woodies and Byrnes. Took few snaps near Pizza Hut and KFC as well. We then visited Carlow Shopping Centre inside the town. There were statues of Santa Claus, Snow
White, the Three Wise Men and some deers. We took snaps standing next to them. Finally we went back to KFC, bought some fast food and returned home..JPG)

ATTACKED BY SNOWBALLS IN PARKMORE BALTINGLASS, IRELAND :) SNOWFUN- Enjoying and Throwing Snowballs...
ATTACKED BY SNOWBALLS IN PARKMORE BALTINGLASS, IRELAND :) SNOWFUN- Enjoying and Throwing Snowballs...
SNOWBALLING NEIGHBOURS!
Ha!Ha!....It was fun....We literally got snowballed by our neighbours’ kids. There were laughter, shouts and screams all over the place. Our next door neighbour who is a bit elderly, but fun-loving, was the main person who started the attack on those kids. While we were outside trying to get some shots of the wonderful snow, the attack took place- without a warning! It all happened so quickly. Heh, it was real fun though. My wife was hiding by the side of the car, so she was safe. My mom was scared to come out in the snow as this is her first time in the snow too. So she was happily watching and smiling during the whole show. There were snowballs thrown everywhere- on my head, my face, our car, our neighbour and her daughter, on the doors and walls. You had no chance to escape. You really could not stop it or save yourself because they were coming at you one after another and that too from all sides. Dressed up with multi layers of clothes, I was wondering what was happening there at everything happening so fast.
CUTE AND WONDERFUL KIDS OF PARKMORE, BALTINGLASS :)
"There was one particular kid who was cleverly hiding behind the gate wall and snowballing everyone, you could only see his head popping out, as though he was recruited for some kind of world war and his mission was to engage himself in ensuring maximum damage to the enemy by strategically throwing grenades without being seen"
Heh, the cute and wonderful kids of Parkmore, Baltinglass :) There was one particular kid who was cleverly hiding behind the gate wall and snowballing everyone, you could only see his head popping out, as though he was recruited for some kind of world war and his mission was to engage himself in ensuring maximum damage to the enemy by strategically throwing grenades without being seen. Sheesh man, this was too good! Finally I thought I will run right up to him at the wall and throw a huge ball of snow directly at him. Ha! Ha! Unfortunately I slipped near the gate and had a great Humpty Dumpty Fall! But thankfully it was on the thick layer of snow, so you could say it was just like falling on a soft cotton mattress. Heh! Well, the fall actually reminded me that no matter how big we grow up, we will always be outsmarted by kids when we enter their territory while they’re on a roll....heh heh....I like that. Those smart snowballing kids :)
NO SNOWMAN YET...
Also, during the attack, our neighbour was also cleaning up their entrance door step brushing away all those snow, after each snowball was thrown at them. Ha! Ha! that was a real funny sight because after some time she gave it up. Each time she was snowballed, she would clean it up. But again someone would snowball her. Real funny sight. Well, in the end the snowball attack stopped and the kids went over to the, now white, green lawn by the roadside opposite to our houses and began to make a snowman. They rolled up a huge ball of snow but suddenly decided against it and ran off. I think they found a another place with thicker snow and probably went there to make their snowman. Well, this really was a great time for all of us. A happy moment when we got attacked by snowballs from our neighbours’ kids...

DREADED DENTIST DRILL to be replaced by futuristic space-age device “PLASMA JET”!!!
DREADED DENTIST DRILL to be replaced by futuristic space-age device “PLASMA JET”!!!
My first visit to the Dentist for cleaning and filling up – HE USED THE DRILL!!!

"I felt my veins vibrating from head to foot. Or I can even say from my toe nails to my skull and brain!!!"
I still remember my visit to the Dentist back in Cochin. A small dental clinic in Vytilla Junction, Ernakulam, it had a Dental Surgeon and a junior lady Dentist. There was some cleaning up and filling to do. And the sound of that drill still lingers in me. I felt my veins vibrating from head to foot. Or I can even say from my toe nails to my skull and brain!!! Such was the impact! Many children and adults avoid Dental Clinics because of their phobia on drills. They fear drilling!
Got my Wisdom Tooth pulled out!
I also remember when one of my wisdom tooth had to be pulled out. This time it was in Plamoodu, Trivandrum. But here, the impact was a lot better. The Doctor was really cool and he made me feel really comfortable. A true professional. He did use all the required tools in order to remove my tooth, but I didn’t feel any pain because he applied that gel and injected my mouth before the surgery. Yes, the dental works had to be done for the good of my teeth. So I can’t really say that they were bad. It’s the initial cleaning and drilling experience that I still can’t forget. Of course, I’m happy I got them done though.
Traditional Dentist’s Drill being replaced by ‘Plasma Jet’...
Good news for those of you who are still scared of the Dentist Drilling Machine and totally hates that drill! In few years time there will be a Plasma Jet, a pain-free device which will eradicate tooth decay even without any fillings. While drills are used to drill holes into your tooth, the Plasma Jet will be used to fire a plasma beam of oxygen atoms at low-temperature, which are electrically-charged, into your cavities at the dentine- the fibrous tooth structure below the enamel, thus reducing the bacteria which causes decay!
Plasma Jet Overcomes Dental Bugs!!
Dr Stefan Rupf, a Main Researcher from Saarland University in Homburg, said:
"The low temperature means they can kill the microbes while preserving the tooth. The dental pulp at the centre of the tooth, underneath the dentine, is linked to the blood supply and nerves and heat damage to it must be avoided at all costs."
German researchers have tested the use of Plasma Jet and were found to be successful on Streptococcus Mutans and Lactobacillus Casei which are common dental bugs. These bugs cause teeth enamel erosion and cavity causing dentines by leaving films on the teeth surface. So now you can all happily visit the Dentist without any Drill Phobia! :)
