I have this habit of approaching things from purely logical perspective..devoid of emotions which may tilt discussions on the subjective side of the scale..and the old tale about the super model Heidi Klum and the Italian playboy millionaire, Flavio Briatore is one of such discussions where most people, specially the fairer sex, would simply blame Flavio for cheating on Heidi..without even logically considering other possible angles to their tragic love story. Let's accept some facts here..neith...

Here are some really funny scientific jokes, particularly related to Physics: Two atoms bump into each other. One says 'I think I lost an electron!' The other asks, 'Are you sure?', to which the first replies, 'I'm positive.' All the physicists are playing hide and seek. Einstein is the ‘den’ and stands against the wall with his eyes closed and counts till 100 to enable all the physicists to run and hide. At the count of 100 Einstein turns around and finds Newton standing there.He screams, “Newt...
Few days back I had my own version of the classic "I told you so!" moment. And as expected it had to do with Quantum Mechanics and Chaos Theory, so I am quite excited to write something about it :). Here is my story: ask any theoretical physicist out there, and he (on some rare occasions, she) will boldly tell you that you just cannot observe quantum peturbations on a macro scale.. forget observing, they just do not happen. Simply put: Quantum mechanics == atomic world, Newton's Laws==Real world...
I was quite surprised when I heard about Anna Chapman, the Russian spy girl whose Facebook profile pictures made the headlines of newspapers the world over. This particular red-headed femme fatale , a 28- year old NYC resident, and daughter of a Russian diplomat (some say a former KGB agent), was also a tech enterprenuer who was supposedly working as a sleeper agent for the dreaded Russian intelligence agency, KGB. The interesting thing about Anna is her active "fun" lifestyle, she used to party...
Okay. This is purely my personal opinion based on some of my own basic research and practical experience. I think Facebook games, atleast most of them, should be avoided at any cost. And its not only games, spending too much time on Facebook can have long term permanent damages not only to your health but also risk your privacy and security. Why? Here are some valid and accepted reasons: 1. Health Effect In short, Facebook is very bad on your eyes and body. Everyone knows that most online compu...
Since late March 2010, southern Iceland's "junior" volcano beneath the Eyjafjallajokull glacier has been spewing tonnes of volcanic material throwing air traffic though Europe to chaos and threatening to cause long term damage to the environment and weather not only in Iceland but to far flung areas in Western Europe and possibly the rest of the world. Few stats about this volcano and volcanic eruptions in general: 1. The last eruption was in 1821 and lasted for about two years. That time it spe...
Not many of us might realize it presently, but the invention of the wheel was one of the biggest events changing the life of us humans forever. Not only was it a major technological advance in the transportation sector but it also paved way for the next generation of tools using the wheel as a core component (like potters wheel, screw, clocks, motors, turbines etc). So when was the wheel actually invented? Wikipedia says: The wheel was originally invented in Mesopotamia in the 5th millennium BC ...
Yesterday I was talking with an old friend, discussing the age-old and widely debated concept of souls,or atmas as commonly known in Hindi. As usual I was quite overwhelmed listening his strong views and belief regarding the existence of souls. And being a strong atheist I beg to differ :) , and here is what I think based on some research and my current understanding of the human brain and consciousness. 50,000 years of modern human evolution and multiple genetic mutations which helped us reac...
While watching the movie Salvation , 4th installment of the famous Terminator Series , my friend remarked that the movie is good but very unrealistic and too robotic to digest. Even my parents did not like it, saying that the entire series is based on some futuristic figment of imagination which they don't see happening in near future. They would rather love to see a flick where human emotions are embroiled in a gestaltic mix of drama. Easier to understand and relate with. Simple! Being the over...
Another sting operation by an over-ambitious TV channel brought about some old memories of a somewhat heated discussion regarding managed legalization of porn I had with some friends long time back. I call it the Organic Barter System . A pretty, young aspiring actress. A middle aged producer. "Give me sex, and I'll give you your fame" . I think there have been numerous social concoctions of this age old barter system where sex and ambition almost always seem to shake hands in order to reach a d...
