Glass winged butterfly!

amazing
I may be a little late in knowing that such a thing ever existed but then it was definitely an interesting one to know! This tiny little creature has translucent wings and is widely known to people as glasswinged butterfly. The spanish name of it is "espejitos" which actually means little mirrors.It also has opaque borders which is brown in the picture but sometimes it can be in green or even red it seems.One unique feature these butterflies exhibit is that they can travel a longer distance and do long migrations. Its just rare and unique.Love this tiny cute flutter-by!! 



Is laminating a rupee note illegal !!

first salary
I read an article on rediff and there was a question about how did you spend or save your first salary and what did u do with it..Quite interesting right!
There were different answers put up by people on the site. one interesting answer was i laminated the first hundred rupee note of my salary. In  a jiffy as i scrolled down there were many comments by people from various places saying it is illegal to laminate a rupee note. Confused by seeing all these, now i really have a doubt that is their anything which makes laminating rupee note illegal! The other answers under these topics were also really good as the viewers also mentioned how much was their first salary and how they spent their first ever salary...But i am still excited to know why it is illegal! :)

Publishing a journal for the first time!♥♥

blogging
As a part of my journal production lab, we were asked to create a journal for the first time. It can actually sound cool at first but the making process is no joke. Right to start from designing the layout till the printing process can consume a longer time gap than we think. For this we were asked to work in smaller groups so that each member needs to take up different tasks and complete it effectively. It took us about 2-3 weeks to bring out our journal. The taste of final outcome was more sweeter than the making process. Every word that is printed had to be checked carefully for mistakes. At last found out what tedious process that newspapers and magazines undergo but was definitely awesome! Didn't ever think studies would be this fun at times!

“It’s time to know it”

amazing



 
“Time and tide waits for none” is a famous quote which denotes that time is precious and every minute have to be spent with a use. But to know that time was not that easy in olden times.  The Egyptians were the first to create twenty-four hour day.  To know the time they used shadow clocks. The position of stars was used to designate the time at nights. But at the same time other countries like Babylonia, China, Greece were using instruments like sundials to note the time. Their existed a disadvantage in this too, as these sundials failed at night time. Amenophis I, the king of Egypt, wanted to know what time it was all through the night without having to check the position of the stars. So, Prince Amenemhet made the king a clepsydra or a water clock.  He took a big bucket of water, filled it with water up to a specific line.  He then cut a small hole in the bottom of the bucket and marked off lines on the bucket after each hour had passed. It was at this time the sand clock or the hourglass was introduced. But these also proved inefficient at times. To address all these issues faced in knowing time the first mechanical clock was created with weighs that would slowly lower for every hour. These clocks were needed to be placed in a tall building since the weights needed to travel a longer distance for every hour. Even today some of the cuckoo clocks are been made by using these weights. But, this is not portable and easy to use.  By that time, Galileo stunned the whole world with his innovative invention of pendulum clocks. This idea struck his mind when he was standing in the Cathedral of Pisa watching the huge chandelier swinging back and forth from the ceiling of the cathedral. After understanding the concept from the pendulum clocks the atomic clocks were invented. Since then time keeping has significantly changed. The digital clocks are a latest addition to this family of clocks.

Busuu,language learning site....♥

Bonjour!Everyone likes to know something which others don't know.Standing out of the crowd,thinking out of box are the words that are easier said than done. Learning new language is always special out of those. knowing some language and communicating even the introductory words in that language feels good.on a summer vacation, when i was scrolling down some sites,i came across this website,"Busuu",where we can learn some languages.That's what i knew about it at first.But then when i googled it I got more of positive reviews about the site.So wanting to learn a alien language which is no joke,I selected french.Amazed with how easily i was able to learn the words,as this website thought from step 1 of learning a new language; I gained interest towards it.They use flashcards to teach the words. starting from getting to know the words,the series which you need to follow is dialogue questions, testing the words learnt, and writing.Not only that we get to chat with the native speakers of that language.Earning points for each correct answer that we give, gets learning the language addicting.It's like playing a game. A fun way to learn a new language.It's free for some extent.But we get to know more in this free version. Completing the A1 beginner course in this has gained me a great knowledge in french,which i think i would not have got without such a site.
Bottom line: A fun and creative site to learn a new language."Busuu"
Au revoir

In this technologically advanced age that we live in, “Google” is a word that even a child knows. A well known search engine which is being updated every single second. When you search in something thousands of search results pop up. Google Doodles follow an imaginative and innovative way to impart knowledge. A special day is been displayed creatively, with bright colors, attracting the attention of many. Recently they came up with the new flash doodles which are nothing but 
the interactive doodles. Doodles like, for the 78th birthday of Robert Moog they came out with an interactive musical keyboard design.  The first doodle was on May 21, 2010, the 30th anniversary of the arcade game Pac-Man, Google unveiled worldwide their first interactive logo, created in association with Namco. Anyone who visited Google could play Pac-Man on the logo, which featured the letters of the word 'Google' on the Pac-Man maze. The logo also mimicked the sounds the original arcade game made. The "I'm Feeling Lucky" button was replaced with an "Insert Coin" button. Pressing this once enabled you to play the Pac-Man logo. Some of the other interactive doodles that stay in our minds till now are the series of doodles they created for the Olympics 2012. For every game in Olympics there was a unique doodle displayed at the Google page during the day of that particular game. Looking forward to more unique designs by google in their future DoOdLeS!
