Closer to E.T.

Closer to E.T.

It took me by surprise. I shrieked without my knowledge. It was loud enough. I drew attention. 

I did not in the least expect to see this. I was just going through the lines of the newspaper reading about the papal conclave, and suddenly, this article popped out from the "Science & Tech" page. How shocking it was. The headline read, "Mars had the right conditions for life". This was the reason i shrieked! i just vaguely went by and two words caught my attention, "Mars" and "life". They wrote that the Gale crater into which the "Curiosity" rover was sent, collected samples of the mud. after examining it, they found elements such as sulphur, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorous and carbon. It seemed as if the thing that happened in my dream was going to get real sooner than i thought. Atleast, the E.T. part of it. 

Reading this, the thought struck if me if what Arthur C. Clarke wrote was correct. That his "fiction":"Talking of space, Report on planet three", was right about the end of Mars' civilisation, brought about by a nuclear explosion, millenia ago, when "The Greeks were storming Troy." Maybe that is how these elements were found. Maybe, E.T. is still living somewhere on that planet. Somewhere under the red deserts. Somewhere, still spying on us, as they did ages ago. 

A necessary massacre

A Necessary Massacre

Scientists and people have always debated on killing of animals for humanity's sake. At a point, even i thought that killing them is bad. But, this is something we cannot expect to happen. At the rate the world is increasing it's population, developing it's technology and growing larger, there is more need for space, resources etc. So, one cannot expect to live peacefully, side-by-side with animals. 

This was a simple question asked by my friend in a debate. He asked, "If there was a toxic bacteria living close to you, which would harm you, would you not eradicate it?". I thought it was a legit question. I thought and thought whether there was another way. None found. Later, in a similar scenario, my brother said," Ask everyone who supports such things, to stop using modern medicine." True. One cannot expect everything at the cost of nothing.

And today was the day, the question was answered. Summer, it is. Pests are widespread and cockroaches became a menace. I got vexed by these tiny marvellous creatures. So did my family. So we brought in the executioner. We brought "Hit", the aerosol spray. And as each drop of aerosol touched the roaches, they fell to the ground like armies of dwarves in the battle of Moria. Or, like those native armies in "Avatar". Anyway, sad, though, was the sight, it was something necessary for my family, belonging to a race of humans, to live peacefully. The sight looked like a massacre. It was a massacre. A cockroach massacre...

This is but a taste of it.

Insa- wha-........

Insa-wha-....

As my friend said "The world does not stop giving us suprises". In total agreement! We see people everyday. So, there are normal people, abnormal people, fictitious people... and then, there are INSANE people!! Who would travel 725 kilometers to deliver 5 juice bottles to someone they got an order from? that is affection. No doubt. But really. This guy could've said "Not possible. Thats too far". This man did not!

This person, from whom we ordered ready-to-mix, home-made juices, in my younger days,was and is an old man. Now, must be around 73 or 74. We used to order a lot from him. different flavours of juices. Ginger lime, strawberry, mango, pomegrenate etc. He may have grown an affection towards us as this stage. No idea. During this time, he lived far away from where i stay. Yet, he used to make and bring us juices whenever we ordered. However, after some years, we stopped ordering juices and lost complete contact with this man. 

After years, this year, we gave an order for 5 juice bottles. He, recollected who we were. So he said he'd have the juices delivered. Little did we know that he was going to give me a shock. So this man, came to my house today, and he looked rather tired.I showed him his seat and gave him a glass of cold water, which he asked for. And here, came today's major thrill. My dad asked him where he was staying now. The man said," I just travelled 725km to get here. Me and my family have shifted to Vizag." 

It thrilled me how an old man of 74 came so far to deliver some juice bottles. He later said "Next time, when you want some juice bottles, collect it at the station." I found this "adventure" of his very insane. So would anyone...

An Old Story

An Old Story..

This is a very old story. And my mother helped me recollect this. 

Long ago, there was a king. The king had 7 seven sons. One day the king caught 7 fish. He lay them out so that they can dry. He comes back after some time and notices that the last fish has'nt dried yet. So, he asks the fish "Fish, fish, why did you not dry yet?". In reply, the fish says " the haystack blocked the sun rays and i was not able to dry." Sp, the king asks the haystack," Haystack, haystack, why did you block the sunlight?". The haystack answers, " I blocked it because i was too high." The king asks the haystack," Why are you so high?". The haystack answers " because the cow did not eat me". So, the king goes to the cow and asks, "Cow, cow, why did not eat from the haystack?". The cow replies, " Because the calf did not drink my milk". The king asks the calf," calf,calf, why did you not drink the milk?". The calf replies,"My master did not release me". So, the king asks the calf's master," Why did you not release the calf?". He answers,"Because my daughter was crying". The king questions the daughter,"why were you crying?". The daughter answers" An ant bit me". The king asks the ant," why did you bite the girl?". The ant replies "if somebodys put their finger in my ant-hill, why would i not bite?"

So cleverly the ant had answered to the king. This story has more to it than meets the eye. It tells us that one sane person would not do something bad to you if you did not do anything bad to him. Like this, this story goes deep into an abyss of morals...

Sci-fi dream!

Sci-fi Dream

Every person in this world dreams. The whole world dreams. Many don't remember, but yes, everyone does. And some people's dreams are influenced by their wants and imaginations. This leads to some awesome, mind-blowing dreams. The same thing happened with me. 

~Note: the dream was much better in my sleep. Readers must understand expressing such a dream is really tough. People with good imagination and good understanding, please read. Others, read anyway!

So, i don't remember when exactly i started dreaming last night. But whenever i started, i don't remember how it started, nor, how i was in that place, nor, How i started what i was doing. Anyway, when i first looked around, in my dream, i was in school. Well, it was not at all looking like school in the "awake" life. it looked completely different. And when i said completely different, i mean completely different. My Huge school, was broken down, and divided into various experimental rooms. Some large and some small. All of these were connected to each other with huge, metallic(i guess) pipes, transporting a liquid. It was a liquid which kept all the experimental rooms stable, that is, all the apparatus and experimental set-ups in each room, stayed stable because of this liquid. The wierd thing was, we, students were conducting and supervising these experiments, whatever they were. It was tough to know on what we were working. E.T. tech maybe. Anyway, me and my friends were in one room, experimenting over a battery. And, some moments later, i looked out the window, and there it was. A huge drain from the Central Unit where the stability Liquid is stored. And it was followed by huge explosions along the pipelines. Each of the experimental rooms were bursting skyhigh, or they just got vaporised. i noticed that we were working on a battery which uses high quantities of the liquid, and a small deficiency can lead to a huge explosion. I went into an eerie, a euphoria. Thoughts just flew by. I did'nt know what to do. And after a small interval of time, I shouted "explosion!" or "get down!" or something else. Not sure. This was followed by screams of my dying friends. i thought i survived, but, just then, i woke up! 

I confirmed to myself that you wake up when you die in a dream!

My "Turkey"sh adventure

My "Turkey"sh Adventure

It was a bright, sultry Sunday morning. I woke up and looked at a beast in the mirror. So, i decided to go to the person who can make me normal. I decided to go to the salon. It was an adventurous journey. Well, more or less. 

It was a 2-3 kilometer journey, i assume. I had to bear high temperatures, walk long distances, cross broad-gauged railway tracks, climb down, and walk even more, just to reach my witch-doctor. I thought my journey would be another boring, plain one. But, just then, as music played in the background, i saw the most unexpected thing. It caught me by suprise. 

As background music was playing, i was sending invisible carrier pigeons to my friends. A dog started barking. As it was a common stray dog, i ignored it. Right after this, i heard an uncommon animal call. it sounded like something i heard before. i turned, and saw a Turkey! A huge one! dark in colour with a hanging nose. Then i realised where i heard it before. It was on a virtual farm i used to cultivate on. it was just huge, this Turkey. I opened my digital "memory" storage to store a memory of a bird in a tiny cage. As soon as i did, it puffed up. It seemed like it was going to attack me. Had it not been for the cage, my journey would've ended 5-10 minutes early. It'd have re-routed to the nearest doctor, save witch-doctor. i used the DMS( digital memry storage) and i just went on my way.

I sent these memories to some of my friends using some more invisible carrier pigeons! It was  an adventure....

Animals=Humans

Animals=Humans

They said dogs and all animals are different from humans. Well, today's sight totally contradicted that "observation". 

It was a sunny Monday morning. The same old, "Go to school" type of ones. And i was, somewhat, late. CHUCK IT!! :p. So, i just got onto the road and there i saw it. A sorry sight, but it was extremely funny when i looked at it. So, there were these two dogs there, on a wasteland, well, more or less, a wasteland. One was just mindlessly running around. The other one was just squating there, doing something. I did not spot it at first, but, when i saw it, it was the most ridiculous thing! This dog's head was stuck in a plastic jar! i just burst out. I stood there for 5 minutes looking at what it would do! Maybe, this dog stuck it's head in, for food, and then the head got stuck. However it happenned, this other dog, was still running around and whenever it went close to the dog whose head got stuck, the dog would just swing it's head around and try barking at it. 

This reminded me of one thing. It struck me in a jiffy! It was just like how friends troll/prank each other! It looked like this dog was teasing the dog was teasing the dog whose head got stuck, and the other dog was just shouting or cursing at it! It was  a typical friend prank friend scenario! 

Well, i started my day with a hearty laugh!
