When things simply went wrong, when I lost all the control over myself, It turned out to be the greatest crisis of my life. But still, I had faith in one God, whom I've seen with my eyes. When that support was behind me, I felt like I could face anything and defeat anything. But in a moment, everything can change. Things that u firmly believe to exist till the very end might just vanish into thin air.
Even though all this happened, I would simply like to go on believing what I did till that very moment. For that mighty power itself, I have to get over it. I always had a single aim in my life. A single destination, where I wanted to reach, so desperately. But if it seems to go farther, I can't simply sit back and curse myself.
I have to get along, for the power which I believe to be the greatest of all..
** I simply felt like writing this, I don't know why. And never ask what I meant with this..(Assuming this blog to be read by a lot of people.. hehe..) I might not be able to explain.. **

The way they think
When the power supply was not there, I started to think about the importance of electricity. I had nothing else to do, no music,no movies, couldn't read a book also. And I didn't have a more interesting topic to think about as well... I felt like dying of boredom.
What if, one day, all the sources of electricity get dried up?? At present, our world is facing an energy crisis, which might get transformed into a more horrible form in the next one or two decades. Now, I remember what I read somewhere about Greenland(Denmark) and the way in which they tried to tackle the energy crisis that they had to face in the 70's.
The embargo in 1973 by the Arab countries put them in a deep crisis. They thought of renewable energy sources and started to produce electricity from wind. In the 70's , it couldn't really make any considerable contribution but, now it supplies around 20% of the energy requirements of the whole country.
They also implemented some innovative ideas to reduce energy consumption. In the toilets of hotels, they are having a two geared flush. It can flush in two different ways depending on what you are flushing. They have motion sensors to turn on the lights only when something moves in the corridors.
It's not that we, Indians are not having such ideas. But nothing gets implemented in our country that easily!!

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..

Well.. when I started this blog, I wanted to write regularly.But things go just the opposite way I plan them to be.As always it does!!
Now, since I don't have a net connection in my room, I can't write regularly.But I hope to get one in the near future.That might change things.. hopefully..
