@busycorner, I just read about this fascinating theory. I am native Hawaiian, and the linguistic similarities caught my attention when I met a friend in Taiwan who told me she was ethnically Amis, one of the indigenous tribes here, and when we compared languages, many of our words are the same or very similar. This little spark almost blew my mind, like finding a Native North American tribe that spoke a Polynesian language! Any way I'll definitely look more into it, and one more thing: Don't forget Madagascar! (Whew, as if Taiwan wasn't far enough...)
Ever heard of Austronesian Migration. Lets just put it this way. Because of west to east voyaging and discovery beginning 8,000 years ago, every indigenous person bounded by Taiwan, Hawaii, Rapanui, Tahiti, Aotearoa, Papua New Guinea including the Philippines, Borneo, Indonesia, Malaysia and coastal people of Southeast Asia are related linguistically, culturally and through DNA sequencing. Whew!

Dear,
Love
I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with a little water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."
This was how I saw it: "As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.
This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, Love will retrieve from you. For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings. Give and don't expect. Advise, but don't order. Ask, but never demand.
It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love.
To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."
Have a lovely day ahead, Please communicate with me on my email id Bye take care, kaushik

Hey remember a world without ipods? That dark and miserable place where tired, huddled masses lugged around Walkmans or CD players yearning to be free of their technological inadequacies? Well back then I didn't even have those. "Hakkas don't need such luxuries" was the...
