I have been walking up the street for about seven years to get to my workplace and every morning I pass this school .It is a tw story buildings with the name of the school written at little above the first story of the building.Now I was coming up the said street but not on the side I usually walked when bam it hit me this was actually a two story building with the name of the school written on it and I could actually see students in the upper floor doing their exams.
Wow I thought to myself ,this is bad ,I mean someone could have dropped a flower pot on my head every morning and I would have probably thought it was manner form the skies because as far as I was concerned it was a one story building.How did it happen.
This may be a building that I didnt see but it could have easily been someone.Has this ever happened to you,please give details

Hello my friend ronnyb Ji,
Our side there is a proverb, meaning that, tehre is a darkness underneath the lamp, next, we searched the boy in whole village, whereas he was inside only. We care less about things which are coming across daily and we think about distant things. It is all our nature. But one thing, my hubby always thought of Niagra Fall, right from his child-hood. He never had any drean as he never thought taht he would ever visit, but he got a fair chance on 04 October, when he visited Noagra. So he always says, anything ispossible, provided there is a urge for the same.
Let me show you some scene from Niagra
Wishing you a very happy Chrismas and New Year-2010.
May God bless You and have a great time.

They put that story on last night,it is suprising what we miss when we are half asleep.I have lived in the same country area for thirty years and still finding things I have never noticed.A row of trees came down a few years ago and behind it a row of houses hidden by the undergrowth.Funny really.

I have seen the movie An American in Paris for decades and I recently noticed that in the middle of the balletat the end Gene and Leslie are dancing around Statues. I never , evern saw the Statues until now! I guess we focus on one thing and never really see the rest.

"Hmm, I never noticed that before." I remember saying that on a number of occasions when I would pass something similar. For instance, I live in a row of houses that are on long skinny lots. A couple of the lots are empty. But I remember once while I was riding with someone else, instead of driving myself, viewing a house sitting on the back of one of the lots. I guess I had just thought that lot was empty, since all of the other houses sit in the front of the lots. Hmm.

I have had that happen to me too. I used to walk my dog past a playground and I noticed the slippery dip was painted a bright orange and I commented on it to my eight year old daughter because I presumed that it had been recently changed or painted. My daughter looked at me, rolled her eyes and said, “Mum it’s been there since I was in Pre School!”“Well, I’ll be!” I thought to myself. Doesn’t it go to show how often we stop to look at our surroundings? I took it as a lesson to slow down and smell those roses every now and again!

Yes, it must have happened to me a lot of times. Many of us are not really observant when we walk on streets, so it is not really uncommon that many details are not registered in our minds. Walking is quite a boring activity if you do it consciously, so I'd believe majority of us are sub-conscious walkers having something else on their minds so that it won't be a tedious trudge after all.
