Oh, dear Helen!

Miss Helen Keller, (for I know not, if you are married!)
I do understand that you have tried to be humorous, somewhere in Chapter 20 of the Story of your Life... but may I remind you, that the French and German books, plays, dramas, Shakespearean plays, and a lot more whose characters you have mentioned right there, and completely unknown to us and hence, make very little sense!
Anyhow, I am extremely impressed by the quality of speech used in the book and extent of relativity it has got with student lives!

The pleasure, of Satisfaction!

I'm happy, and that's weird, coz I hardly find myself satisfied!!!
Why am I happy? For, I am able to actually execute what I planned... not 100% though, but, to a extent!

Weird!!!

The allure of Hospitalis restaurant is a peculiar mix of hedonism and aseptic dread of hospitals. Here bartenders wear lab coats and waitresses and are dressed in skimpy nurse uniforms and fluorescent orange wigs. They will strap you in a strait jacket and spoon feed you if you order that special item in the menu, and sign the mandatory agreement. Meals are served in stainless steel dishes and eaten with surgical utensils. Drinks are served in medical beakers and test tubes.


It's a horror show meets dinning experience, one that takes your sense of reality, and possibly a sensitive stomach, for a dark, dream-like roller-coaster ride.

I#1 When does life become miserable?

It's got innumerable answers, and trust me, there is no RIGHT or WRONG answer!
If you asked what my opinion is, then:

We all know what we should do and what not to...
We are very much sure about what is good and what isn't...
And also how to behave and how not to...
But yet,
when we do what we shouldn't,
that which isn't good...
and behave how we are not to...,
Life "seems" to become miserable!

Blood Falls?

One of the world's most extreme deserts might be the last place one would expect to find a waterfall, but in Antarctica's McMurdo Dry Valley, a five-story fall pours slowly out of the Taylor Glacier into Lake Bonney. And it's not just the idea of a waterfall in the frozen world of Antarctica that is strange: the waterfall is bright red, like blood running from a cut in the glacier.

The water that feeds Blood Falls is completely cut off from the atmosphere—it has never seen sunlight and is completely devoid of oxygen. It's also extremely rich in iron, which was churned into the water by glaciers scraping the bedrock below the lake. When water from the subglacial lake seeps through a fissure in the glacier, the salty water cascades down the Taylor Glacier into Lake Bonney below. When the iron-rich water comes into contact with the air, it rusts—depositing blood red stains on the ice as it falls.

That's just too cool, right?!

Ironic indeed!

A Century!!!

Hello readers,
I am beyond happy to announce that this is the hundredth post of the blog!

An Inspiration!

What can an exam give you?

A chance to test your textbook knowledge? High grades? Seat in a good college?

Have you ever known that exams could give you inspiration? Maybe... Could an exam introduce you to a legendary poem? It did! to me... I came across this poem on my English question paper..!

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son! 

Rudyard Kipling
