Partying Chuppandi Style

Partying Does it really cheers u???

Suddenly this strange thing filled all my mind. What we've accomplished in life worth partying for. Just turning an year older and being stabbed by yet another milestone ??? Naah... I never find any reason worthwile to party. But as like in most of my things, i've been pushed to my limits these days. When I've got my confirmation order, all my dept. colleagues started askin for the party. Obviously I've agreed to it to..

I did not felt much that day but the other day when one of my fellow colleague gave his treat for his promotion, it all suddenly filled my thought for which i began choking and decided to party never again..

I was told by my dad that Mother Terasa when attending a christmas dinner went on to see a pile of cake being wasted and all she asked was to pack them. There are lot of people starving even for a single bun a day and i could atleast make some of them happy today instead of wasting these..

what do we gain by partying ??? Or is there anything that we accomplished that worth celebrating for?? these are the questions that turn to me when i think of celebrating. And obviously the reason one might say is that when you've done or accomplished something or attained some stage that u were longing for. Obviously you feel like celebrating. Thats the Human nature I agree. But we the humans being the sixthsensed creatures should think of the co-existing creatures too..

If you have an excess meal for the day or if you have enormous money for ur lifetime donate them to some for who starve even for a days meal and there are even worst people around the world who does not even have the comfort of wearing clean clothes,eating food atleast once in a day, without drinking water, much more....

Don't we being the fellow humans have some sense of concern for the other fellow human beings ??

Its so sad to tell u none of us including me really care. There are even lot of victims of the natural hazards who's parents bros sisters... lost their lives to the monstres like Tsunami, Earthquake etc.., Do we really have time to care about these... I dont know about any other person except im "SHAME ON MYSELF" for being such a crook leading a selfish life.

Let me tell u one such incident which fuelled this thing again in me..

One day we all got a message which was broadcasted throughout the comp. i work for. the one who sent the mail is a top level manager who has forwarded the message with a foot note saying we should do something about it. The content of the message is that, Our CEO's (who advocates all indian youths should have patriotism and work for the indian multinationals,who work for the good of the india rather working abroad) son who studied in USA and works there in some state i hardly know about. This guy claiming he is in a prestegious comp. the son of our CEO has given birth to a new child and the saddest part is that they've found shez having likeumia on bone marrow . and needs a replacement surgery for which they need some sample from someone who matches her and theirs hardly matches and there are few indians out there they can ask for. This guy wants us to inform the friends and relatives of the recipients who live in USto help them out.

I asked him only one question replying to his message. Aren't there any in India who suffer from much worse diseases?? How many neonetal cases were pending for causes like these??? How many people are dying to live out here day and night??? How many people suffer from the natural calamities?? aren't these seems to be worth worrying for ??Coz they're not CEO's relatives huh.. Shame on our race.. atleast this is what the fact is.

This kind of attitude should change. And cannot be changed unless the culture changes. Everyone should think of the other as a fellow human being. Afterall the money they have, the position they posses, the society they belong to, the race they were in... all these hardly matters when u die. What accounts in the real life is just a heart to feel for others.

My request is this. Whenever u feel like partying go the needy people. Celebrate with them. U can find lot of ashrams for aged,Homes for Orphans,Poor kids longing for education, people who suffer from diseases, victims of calamities.... it goes on. Atleast you can get some satisfaction.

ANBE SIVAM !!!

One fine evening at the College Library

Just another strange thing occured during my college days which i think would bring nothing less than a laugh.

Not every time when I go to a Library, I go there with any urgency or purpose. Mostly, I go there either to kill time or to look out whether there are any more additions to Crichton's or Archor's titles. But my latest visit to the library was much different.

I wanted to make note of certain things regarding CFD studies from a known reference book. Late on a Saturday afternoon, I realised that I had to collect the information before the day end since the library would be closed on Sundays. It was two hours before the closing time when I rushed in to the library. There was a reasonable crowd in the library and while browsing through the computerised catalogue, I wondered about the number of people in the library on a Saturday evening. I located the rack where the book would be and hurried there. As luck would have it, the book wasn't there.

Since the book was a 'reference' book, I knew it for sure that the book must be within the library. But, there was a chance that some person who used the book might have kept it in a different rack. I myself have done that couple of times before inadvertently and felt bad about it. Unmindful of the numerous racks, I scanned the library for that big red volume. It is not a wise way to search a book but at that point of time, common sense got over-ruled. Feeling tired and disappointed, I came near the 'Reading Desks' at the far corner of the library and there it was. It was indeed the book I was searching for frantically for the past several minutes but it was in the hands of another person.

Not wanting to sit idle and watch the faces, I picked up some book from the nearby shelf and sat down at the other end of the long reading desk. I made sure that the guy who was having the book I wanted was visible from where I was sitting. Minutes ticked by and by that time, I was simply turning the pages of the book that was in my hand. It was a book on Geo Engineering and though I do not know anything on the subject, I was glad that I picked up some book with lot of flashy and interesting pictures.

For a few moments, I was lost in the Geo-Eco stuff and when I looked up to see the guy who was having 'my book' :-) ! To my horror, that person had left and one another guy in a red-shirt was flipping through the pages. By that time, I had just 45 minutes left before the closing time. While one's patience was running out, weird thoughts come in to mind. I was wondering why this guy didn't have the courtesy to check whether anyone is desperately waiting for the book before taking the same. :-)

Anyhow, I decided to remain seated at the same place and was doing the same thing as what I was doing before. But this time, I was careful enough not to concentrate too much on that book. Every now and then, I was looking at the red-shirt guy very often to ensure that the book he was holding didn't escape my view. It appeared to me that the red-shirt guy wasalso looking at me with a sarcastic smile. On closer observation, I found that the guy wasn't serious about reading the book but was just flipping through the pages. I thought of going up to him and ask whether he was serious about reading the book, atlest he could give it to me. But I dismissed that idea in the thought that since I am eager to get my hands at the book, I am assuming something strange. Further, I convinced myself with the question, "What for would a person come to the library?" Another 20 minutes passed on and my patient had dried up. I thought that there is no point in waiting further and decided to leave the library. So I put down the 'GIS' book on the desk and was about to turn back.

As soon as I had put it down, the red-shirt guy came running to the place where I sat and almost pounced on the book. Taking that, he said, " All along I was waiting for you to finish this book. Just for killing time, I was flipping through that Automobile book. Thank you, Sir". :-)

MISTAKES- WATS WRONG???

Mom: Arent u ashamed of committing this mistake?
Son: I m sorry, i ll see to it that it doesnt happen again.

I guess making mistakes forms the integral part of one's life. Right from the time we were born we have made mistakes all through, day in and day out...then why is that we r pushed to our maximum limit of patience when we commit a mistake....i have always wondered why most of the parents today do not see committing mistakes in the right spirit.Life is simply time given to man to learn how to live. Mistakes are always part of learning. The real dignity of life consists in cultivating a fine attitude towards our own mistakes and those of others.I have always felt that sucess very easily comes to people who learn from others mistakes... It is the fine tolerance of a fine soul. Man becomes great, not through never making mistakes, but by profiting by those he does make.Mistakes should always be seen as an oppurtunity for building better to-day because of one's poor yesterday. Sometimes mistakes teach you a lot more than what success does.I do not write this to say that u should keep commiting mistakes, but jus an opinion to say that if at all one does a mistake, do not make a fuss out of it. Genrally when people commit mistakes they get a little discouraged, but the tend to recover fast if their near and dear one's encourage them to move forward...

Mistakes are the biggest strenght when one after realization learns from it by rising with renewed strength, finer purpose and freshened courage every time he falls.

And here goes the conclusion with a closing note of Edison.

"Its not that I've failed 999 times.. Its that i've learnt 999 times how not to make a Bulb"

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2006

John C. Mather & George F. Smoot

The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2006 is awarded to John C. Mather and George F. Smoot for their discovery of the basic form of the cosmic microwave background radiation as well as its small variations in different directions. The very detailed observations that the Laureates have carried out from the COBE satellite have played a major role in the development of modern cosmology into a precise science.

Well, im not here to argue about the american bias in the Nobel prize or about the credentials of their research. But didn't i tell you b'fore with a video of Richard Feynman and his passion about finding the truth of the universe and the Big Bang ofcourse ??? But i don't think either that we can compare any normal scientists with such a legend. My views apart.. Just have a look at their research and the prespective with which they've tried to answer the Big Bang... Its truly awesome and if you were not aware of it b'fore, here's some for you...

The blackbody origin of the Universe

According to the Big Bang-scenario, our Universe developed from a state of intense heat. There are as yet no well-established theories about this primordial condition of the Universe, but immediately afterwards it appears to have been filled with an incredibly intensive radiation. Radiation emitted by such a glowing “body” is distributed between different wavelengths (light colours) in a specific manner, where the shape of the spectrum depends only on the temperature. Without knowing anything about the radiation apart from its temperature it is possible to predict exactly what the spectrum is going to look like. The somewhat contradictory term used to describe this kind of radiation is blackbody radiation. Spectra like these can also be created in a lab, and the German Max Planck – who received the Nobel Prize in Physics for 1 918 – was the first to describe their particular shape. Our own sun is in fact a “blackbody”, even though its spectrum is less perfect than that of the cosmic microwave background radiation.

Wanna more details about this ???

The PCR Method - a DNA Copying Machine

PCR is a method by which a few fragments of DNA can be duplicated into millions in a couple of hours. This makes PCR a very useful method in forensic science, as it means that very small amounts of DNA could be enough to identify a person. PCR was invented by Kary Mullis, one of two Nobel Laureates in Chemistry in 1993. If you play the game below, you will be able to learn more about PCR!

This is a game crated with the support of Aventis for better understanding of the PCR method. Check this out its really breathtaking discovery in chemistry retold in our terms as a story.
