Being read the second novel of Dan Brown, I started to feel like nothing is impossible! (the same feeling Langdon carries on till the last moment!) When I started off the novel it seemed the very same as The Da Vinci Code, a brutal murder at the beginning, Langdon called up for some help and so goes on! But however, as I read on the pace was really thrilling and I could not help but read!! I'd however not suggest you not to read the book, but I found this out interesting for the time being because I was way too bored to do any job!!

A list of Superstitions!

It's very disheartening to say that the world wherein such developments take place there still exists place for so many blind believes.
So I thought should bring out a list of superstitions.
They are as follows:

  '  When a cat crosses us it is an unauspicious sign.
  '  Day dreams are true.
  '  Blinking of the left eye is unlucky. 
  '  Fire can lessen the pain of the venom of a snake or a scorpion. 
  '  Sacrifying animals or sometimes also human beings.
  '  Not to give away or take money with the left hand or on friday
  '  Not to face legs to the south as it is the direction of death.
  '  Going in threes surely brings mishap.
  '  Belief in 'Drishti', which simply means vision or insight which ultimately affects the person   severely.
  '  If someone is going out for something he should not be wished, nor must be asked where he's going!

We had a survey of the students regarding the superstitions and we have reproduced the results here.

Shashank : It's meaningless & scientifically wrong.

Naveen : It's not true.

Akhil : It's false & I hate it.

Keshav : It's good to hear but not to act.

Arqam : It's good! It teach manners like giving money with right hand and eating food with right hand.

Suraj : No emotions, But I hate it.

Venkatesh : It's of no value for me.

Ravi Raj : Sometimes they turn out to be right, but usually they're wrong, and we often do not follow 'em

Akash!! What was that?!!!

Oh! Man! What is this?!!! I'm gonna hit him real bad!~Never mind!!!!!!!!!...............live on!!

The Fallen

Gracious Greens!!

What kinda a bug is it with such a camaflouge!!

Greenies

Greenies with Green Bugs!

I can't name these flowers, faithfully!!!

No more a child!

But I've read some children novels till the age of 13!!!

Here are some of them!!

Arms and the Man

Produced by George Bernard Shaw

Release date : April 21, 1894

Though this is not such a great book, but provides enough of comedy to kill your time. Bluntschli and Raina Petkoff being the main characters, the play rounds around Belgium and Swiss. It has enough of comedy and sentiments to keep you on reading!!! However it's a good pick if you are in real search of comedy by Bernard!!

Happy Reading!!

My Results!! What are they up to?!!

So here comes my results!!! To my utter surprise what I've got is more that I ever expected!!

I expected 87% while what I've got is 93.60%!!! and I'm the topper of the school!!! OK I'm not gonna flatter myself!!!

I think, I've said enough!

How valid is this experiment?!!

Being interested in astrophysics, I usually watch all the videos I get just wish I could understand it a bit!!

So when we(me and Kar) came across the term centre of mass, we decided to find a formula to search the centre of mass, when provided with the mass of the two masses.

We started off finding two rulers, a nail and some clay used as masses.

We had no measuring instruments, hence had to go to a nearby grocery to measure the masses!

Found the weights and the tried to find the centre by taking different masses.

We got the ratio of the masses, the centre.....................but then we were struck knowing not what to go further on!!...............and in this way our science experiment was an utter flop!!!!

Just take a look at these stupid notes (with no sense!!)

The Da Vinci Code

Author : Dan Brown
Publisher : Doubleday Group (United States),  Bantam Books(United Kingdom)
Pages : 454 (U.S. hardback), 359 (U.K. hardback), 604 (U.K. paperback)
ISBN : 0-385-50420-9

This novel interested me cuz it is a controversial novel, and I'm always interested in what others try to avoid (I guess it's a common human nature!) Though I read this, I wasn't sure of understanding it completely, cuz I was still 14 years old when I read it and this was the first novel I have read apart from other children's novels such as Famous Five and Secret Seven!!

I did not have the book and hence had to borrow from my friend.

Then it took more than two weeks to complete this book. I've really enjoyed reading this book with 'Princess' Sophie being my fav character, because of her stupidity...juz jokin..........but I recommend you to juz read it!!!

How 'bout some MACROs?!!!

What you see here, are the macros of the silicon balls, having the diameter less than 1mm!!

Believe me it was real difficult arranging them!!!!

Guess what this is.............you'll only know if you're an Indian or have ever seen Indian Currency

If you know not what is macro, macro  photography is a type of close-up photography....

Pink Primes!!

Obviously seen are the roses!!!!!!! Now so many pinks around here.....I can't bear them!!!

Pink as considered by many is the color of femininity. But at one point pink was considered more of a boy's color, (as a watered-down red, which is a fierce color) and blue was more for girls. The associate of pink with bold, dramatic red clearly affected its use for boys.

It would also seem that Nazi Germany had something to do with the association of pink with femininity:
"Catholic traditions in Germany and neighboring countries reverse the current color coding, because of the strong association of blue with the Virgin Mary...the NAZIs in their concentration camps use a pink triangle to identify homosexuals. (The yellow star of David is the best known symbol, used of course to identify Jews. The German system was quite complicated, using various symbols an colors to identify criminals, political prisinors, and a whole range of other groups). The NAZI's choice of pink suggests that it by the 1930s was a color that in Germany had become associate with girls." - "Gender Specific Colors"

And what more!, there have been 'chicks with guns' in US, guns with pink theme and with the slogan: “Shoot like a girl if you can!”  last year which had been unexpectionally a hit!!!

What the heck flowers are these?!!!

And what would u call these flowers?!!!.........I just name them white flowers!!!...Though I was told the flowers to be that of jasmine, I'm not quite sure 'bout that.........anyways, call em white flowers or curley flowers, all is up to you.......

Some of my first (stupid) pics!!!!

Here are some of the pictures which I prefer to call stupid photography.........cuz it makes no sense to many but, I say it provides me with a lot of fun n I enjoy snappin 'em!!

What if you want to take a snap of an honey bee from real close?!! It's not such a gr8 adventure but believe me I haven't zoomed a bit to snap a honey bee in my backyard.......but the one you see below is real silly cuz there's no h'bee....it actually can fly!!!

I'll be however updating with my new pics very soon!!!!.......me waitin 4 d moment.......

It Rains not forever!

Wondering.........if anything will go right,
Or if anybody........set my soul alight.
It's not everything you wish, not everything you want,
This obsession, in my mind's going rampant.
When all of it goes odd to you,
It's now the time to find your clue.
Even though if you feel all odds against you,
It can't rain everyday, It don't rain forever.

None's gonna remain here constant,
This world seems a place of scant.
You gotta get yourself used to a change,
Or it is for sure, you're out of the range.
It's time now to show who you are,
The time to make the world at you glare!
Even though if you feel all odds against you,
It can't rain everyday, It don't rain forever.

You can't hide yourself from the miseries,
No more fake tears, it's only binaries.
This world is, in expression devoid,
You can't avoid the people you love, nor can you love the people you avoid.
It gets complex day by day,
You just can't throw 'em away.
Even though if you feel all odds against you,
It can't rain everyday, It don't rain forever.

You walk down till here everyday,
Still finding out of it, no way!
I jot down these words for myself to relieve,
From the pain of domination, that everybody give.
This world to everybody really mystifies,
To persist, you need to be more and more wise.
Even though if you feel all odds against you,
It can't rain everyday, It don't rain forever.

The Human Race

They come, They go,
They die, They prosper.
They know that human race lasts not forever.
Long ago, hit the meteorite, and formed a crater,
Leaving behind no life of a dinosaur.
It may again happen in near furure,
But they still try to peer into matter.
Very soon there'll be the end of our race,
But still they try to keep up the pace.
Instead of living in harmony with nature,
They try to study in wise of a chapter.
I find no mistake in the later,
But surely there's something wrong in their behaviour.
Humans' is a young race they say,
They have power and it's like child's play.
One day this power certainly brings destructon,
Now they can't come, they can't go,
Neither can they die, nor prosper!
