A brother's perspective

Yesterday, I went to Ernakulam for one of my friend's sister's wedding. The most difficult thing was to sit in the train for four and a half hours. On the way to the place, I could do nothing but sit and sleep as it was too early in the morning (for me, atleast.I don't see five 'o' clock in the morning other than in rare occassions).The function was pretty good and well managed.And of course, the feast as well.
On my way back, I was trying to see it from the point of view of a brother.When my sister got married a few months back, it was sort of a difficult experience for me.Of course, I was very happy but I could hardly imagine my sister as someone's wife.When the function was going on, I didn't have time to think, so I never did. But after all those hectic days, when all the relatives left one by one, I couldn't stop myself from sitting and pondering.
In my eyes, she was still a kid. The fights that we had together when both of our vacations did coincide and the jokes that we shared were all pretty nice to remember.But in life, there is no use being sentimental. she had to go and get settled in her life. I should've been very happy because my responsibility as a brother was getting over. Thereafter, what I had to think about was my own life and protecting my parents.
What I had to do was to overcome my emotions and to be practical which I tried, and definitely succeeded upto an extent
As the saying goes, "there are no wounds which time cannot heal"
And as it turned out to be, I was lucky since i got a brother in law who is a nice guy and who loves my sister very much.
As I reached back, I was too tired and couldn't think of anything other than going to bed.

The car that flies

In today's newspaper, I saw something regarding operation Blackhound.Now if you've started wondering what that is, let me explain it to you..
Two guys, Andy Green and Richard Noble (I am not very sure if their names spell like that or not) are trying to develope a car which can travel (or rather, fly I shall say) at a speed of more than 1000 miles per hour.They hope to make it by the end of 2009.Several universities and around three hundred private companies are also a part of the project. The car will have a jet engine and some parts similar to that of a rocket (That sounds obvious, doesn't it?).
This car will cover the length of four football courts within one second after starting the car.That means it will be faster than a bullet fired from a handgun.amazing!! isn't it?
It will achieve full speed within a time of forty seconds.The brake system will consist of two parachutes also.
Now if you are wondering who these two guys are, Let me tell you, these are the same guys who, in 1997, developed a car which had a maximum speed of 763 miles per hour.
Anyways, all the best to them.. Great dreamers achieve great things..
