This one moment in a century.

Well, I almost lost this opportunity and thanks to my wife and her timely remainder to this event. It is time to tell something important, then it struck to me, well, the post itself is something... to be there in the moment that's very unique with my beloved and doing what I love to do.We, the animals, are pron to all such petty pleasures to make life interesting and keep going. Giving a positive perspective of the life itself. And making life a beautiful most event of all.

Also the date and time has something to say about the unanimity of the format. At this very moment we look at time the same way universally. Basically I don't believe in time being viewed in a different perspective. As a matter of fact there is nothing called time, like as to say, time is everything; both means the same. what do you say? :)

Panic Kills More Than Pandemic

Swine Flu in Velacherry, Chennai, India. this being the place where I live, Velacherry is under spotlight after the maudlin demise of a 4 year old boy. Nearby schools have been declared holiday in the wake of the outbreak. People are almost in the brink of panic. We can see it in every other person we pass by. Most of them are either parents or hygiene freaks.

Every epidemic has a side effect, but for a pandemic it is going to be an outrage of panic people. The first thing to deal, in this link of situation is to setup access point for people to reach out for help both medical assistance or/and information. Not only the individual but the press and other representatives of any body. Panic kills more than a pandemic, now u Know. Let the wake-up call keep ringing till the Government gets the sense to hear it. They are whom we look out for help or are they the one to be helped. I don't know. God help those in need. Sigh!

Old Fashioned?!

To some, being old fashioned is like becoming socially taboo. But it actually was a happening trend some time back, which was a kick ass thing to do and people followed it for a long time and we call it tradition. I would like to remind these people, who find it too antique to follow, that one fine day, the values they thought was cool will be old fashioned as time passes by. Time is a healer but it eats the glamour. What are they going to say then... I can't wait see their faces.

Good virtues has always it's values buddy!


Have a nice day!

Looks like we are still cooking the evolution cauldron, where we still get new neighbours. Or are we not aware of them all along? Need to think on that!

The Ghosts we see, holloween special.

Does Ghost exist? Are they trying to contact us? Are the mediums freak? Well I'm not going to utter a single word to answer those kinda questions. But I would definitely step forward to explain or understand the phenomena. I believe its all in our cranial box.

So let me start with what all concepts are being around this "Ghost" idea. EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) one of the famous entity when it comes to ghost reading, feeling cold (what?) ghost hunters have

something called 'cold spot', apparitions, voices, odor, hallucinations and the list goes like China Wall. Placing these phenomena and analyzing, we constantly missing something that we have to watch. Like its been said we need two hands to clap. So we have one hand, those that I've just tried to list, the other hand is obviously our BRAIN.

The Brain is the most complex body we have ever encountered. Its main functionality is to understand, recognize, calculate, decide, act or react, and repeat all the above. It plays the crucial part in the entire drama. So lets take the phenomenon of odor, we bring an object, say a Rose flower, and take a deep breath, the scent locks itself to the receptors located in our nose and sends signals to the brain. These signals are bio potential (here comes our Hero) our body produce, in simple words electricity our body generates. Bio potential signals are interpreted in one part of the brain and recognized in the another part, and make us to respond, like, making us to say it as a Rose.

A series of bio potential exchange happens in the brain the whole while. When exposed to an EMF for a considerably long time, there is a possibility that our brain kick start a smell process without the initial sniffing of the flower. And the other part of the brain recognizing it as the scent of rose, and the "Fright, flight and fight" area of the brain would alarm an abnormality. The scent of Rose without the rose. And misinterpret as spooky!

Well that was a long story short. It is said Ghost cause an EMF at their presence, may be! But it can also be the other way, a strong EMF causing our brain to see, smell, hear that is not existing. Another explanation to ghosts.

Later in my posts I would talk about how our feeling could reach others... that's another spooky stuff. You can comment or correct to what ever I have said above... You are welcome.

Understanding Our Loved Ones...

Being together has brought the world to where it is now, the same sense that drove all the odd and kept us going and still keeping us in pace. LOVE. Loving someone is also one of the driving force to thrive life on the planet, the tingling surge is its energy. When all is done and the one we love, loves us likewise, then heaven has its meaning explained on earth.

The unseen love between the animals and insects, which we can't understand, coexists our romance. But what keeps our relationship going is the constant and undivided attention, unconditional love, and prolonged synchronization of understanding.

There are simple ways to acquire this, like having a soul talk (nothing dirty!), loving them until you know them completely and making them know how much you love them. Even if the argument is right in your side be patient to bring them to spot light. Being considerate and agile to the needs, not necessarily compassionate but respect the feelings. Hurting yourself to make your better part feel good will never do any good for a long run. So be cautious to decide and act. A reassuring touch can replace thousand words of console. Never ever leave them feel alone. And so many more... the problem is, it is tough to follow. It is always good you express your better part your effort to bring all these into your life, even you are failing at times. Admittance is another catalyst.

Learning to love the person is not a task but an art, after all love is the best gift you give yourself.

Jenga; For manual dexterity.

Well here comes another toy to our home, The jenga blocks. This was in my list for a very long time. At last we got it last week. Since then it is a war between people at home to participate to build (actually to destroy) the tower and challenge the opponent to exhibit their manual dexterity.

This image shown here is one such tower we (me and my wife) created and we couldn't go any further as we felt that's the maximum it can hold. The structure was about to fall so I took the chance to get a image of it.

In the meanwhile, my son was so anxious to pull some block for his part and succeeded in doing that, leading to his victory dance which in turn brought down the tower.

But this didn't end his curiosity, instead of building a tower he started to build objects of his own choice. The image shown below was done in minutes, he was enjoying building them.

Anyway if it feeds kids' creative thirst, then any toy is a success story. I believe this is a good one you can get for your family too.

Primates Plan Like People!

For most of us, primates are mere monkeys to our eyes. The truth is we might look as one to their eyes, may be.

Through the time, enthusiasts have made studies that has moved us so hard that we find it difficult to believe the fact that Chimps do that thinking and has a great cognition. Once I saw a documentary in National Geography Channel, it was about the Chimps and its way of life in the wild. One among the amazing facts was that they organize crime. WHAT?! Organize Crime!... Yeah Buddy! They have it like us... The Instinct. Phew!

Now Studies have a proven theory that they also plan for their future! (give me a break!). The Lund University Cognitive Science had this study undertaken. Previously many studies (by others) have a theory that Chimps use tools. Well that is some kind of sign that they can plan. But the latest studies is mind blowing, how can they plan for their future? I still wonder, what could have been their plans. Unlike human counterparts they might not have plans for their next SUVs and grand mansion, don't tell me!

What so ever, it is clear that there are things in existence that we refuse to believe and can make us feel worthless of ourselves. Some facts - Chimps have almost 96% same human genes, HIV originated with monkeys - not Chimps, they are team players, selfless helpers and what not.

Lets go scratch ourselves!
