Mirages

Mirages Mirages : A n optical illusion caused by atmospheric conditions, especially the appearance of a sheet of water in a desert or on a hot road caused by the refraction of light from the sky by heated air.  This is the formal definition or meaning of the word as per the dictionaries. I have been particularly interested in this one phenomenon from the day I saw a documentary on " THE TITANIC ". We know that the unsinkable ship built at that day, the most advanced ship of the time, now lies on the floor of the Atlantic ocean. It hit an iceberg. An iceberg which the spotters could not spot early enough to save the ship. What made them to miss such a gigantic thing in front of the ship? A   MIRAGE.  Yes, a mirage. It so happened that there was a current of cold water that was flowing towards the south. A temperature difference between the water and the air caused the mirage. Though the night seemed to be clear with many stars lighting up the sky, it was all an i...

The difference??

Hey people. I am writing the new post from a new place. I moved to Cincinnati, Ohio which is in the US of A . That was obvious, because it is as easy as baking a cake to pursue master's here. Right? After 2 months of staying in this great nation, something started to strike my mind. Rather it is because I am travelling and no one is in the seat beside me. The thing is, why does everyone take this country to be ideal for development, organised, systematic etc. I have observed that the people here and back in India are the same. They have the same thing flowing under the different skin colors. BLOOD . Then why is it that there is a difference if we are all the same homo sapiens?? Rules are there everywhere. And people are there everywhere to break them. People come from different places and follow the rules here. Why? Because they have to. It is an alien nation and they are bound with constraints. One bad mark and it effects their careers forever. Why cant we do the same back in...

I am not PERFECT!

Hello, People of the world! I was unable to write down any new posts as I was busy with my personal works. But here I am writing again about a few things I wanted to share. I was traveling in my city and a small message behind a car caught my eye and got me thinking about it for more than a week. It was written for a specific religion on the car but I felt it was for every other religion and group that ever existed or is still in existence. My religion is perfect. But I am not. If I commit a mistake, blame it on me. Not on my religion This quote does have a lot of meaning. The world categorizes itself, maybe some centuries ago it was divided. It was neither I nor you who had a choice in which religion we were born. People know this truth yet they rage wars on the name of their groups. If an individual commits a crime, why is the whole group of people considered as criminals? Neither I nor anyone would know the real reason for an individual to behave or act ...

Collectables! NOT TOYS

Image
COLLECTABLES Hobby:    A hobby  is an activity, interest, enthusiasm, or pastime that is undertaken for pleasure or relaxation, typically done during one's own time . I like cars. And I collect them. Not the real cars. But models of them.  Whenever I show the above picture to any person, their first reaction is " Nice TOY  collection" . *sigh* I am writing this post to clear the misconception that people have on my so called TOYS. There is a huge difference between a toy and a collectable. A toy can become a collectable. But a collectable can not be a toy always. Let me explain why. TOY:   A  toy  is an item that can be used for play . Toys are generally played with by children and pets. COLLECTABLE:  A  collectable  ( collectible  or  collector's item ) is any object  regarded as being of value or interest to a collector   (not necessarily monetarily valuable or antique). These are th...

Cold Wars of 21st Century

Cold Wars (21st Century) NO!  I am not talking about any wars between countries. The 21st century has bought us new kind of COLD WARS. In the past during the world war I & II, the nations fought to show the rest of the world who the superpower was. Like all the wars in the, let us name this cold war as " THE DIGITAL WAR".  Instead of just a war I feel it would be much better to call it as a DIGITAL WAR AGE as this is not going to end soo soon. You must be wondering what the hell is he talking about. " Digital War? will the robots fight the humans? That is what he is trying to say? " I can say that but it would be called something like clash of the robots or something. Anyway, moving on. I am talking about one of the biggest clash of the decade, iOS VS Android . Yes, it is virtually a war, isn't it? The people who make these operating systems, I really doubt they ever really fight on who is better. They just do their business to be a market leade...

Funny Fantasies

Image
Caution : No adult content here. Everyone has a crazy fantasy in their life. I have many as such. No I don't want to be prince charming, have a castle. No, not the real fantasies. I will be talking about things I would be doing at some point of time in my life, but till then lets just put them into the category of fantasies. Even if I can't do the things I'm going to talk about here, atleast I will have no regrets as they will be left as fantasies (Deep explanation needed). Bus Conductor YES! I always wanted to be a bus conductor. It is a fun job I think. When I was a kid, I never really travelled in a city bus. But whenever I did, I used to look at the conductor. Because it was fun looking at him rip of the ticket and punch a hole in it. I really like the concept  of collecting money, returning the change and you can always rip the ticket in style ( I have seen many conductors do that). I love maths. Counting and stuff, that explains why I like things wher...
