blog

Yeah! you read it right..This maybe a simple and silly question to be answered. Just random thoughts put me to think about what will happen if I were a cartoon..Crazy! and  a bit funny too. Most cartoons have a fairy tale ending!.. Maybe good or bad i love cartoons.Thinking about a cartoon we can never forget a flower talking, dustbin walking or a postbox walking to your house to give your letters or even a car smiling. Every little things that we learnt watching those cartoons, be it morals or stories. They are very creative and fun and practical too. Their may not be any hardcore technology behind those cartoons, but it was fun. 

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!

Global warming is a word that we come across commonly these days. This global warming is caused by the excess of Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and other pollutants which collect in the atmosphere, trap heat from the sun and cause the planet to warm. It also has adverse effects on weather patterns, human health, wildlife, sea levels and glaciers. But then the serious efforts that we put in, to save our earth are only minimal. Environment is suffering too much because of this global warming. The polar ice caps are shrinking day by day leading to increase in the water level. The temperatures in Arctic region are rising fast compared to elsewhere in the world. It is the biggest challenge that we face today. Burning fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, oil and gasoline raises the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming. In spite that the drastic effects of this global warming been discussed among the scientific circles and there many TV shows that present to us the adverse effects of this, people do not take it up as a serious issue. The percentage depleting is also on the rise every year. But here are some simple steps that we as an individual could take up to contribute our part, to save our earth. Lowering the demand for the fossil fuels is the main aspect that reduces the amount of green house gases in the atmosphere. Using less air-conditioning, buying energy efficient products, saving electricity, replacing regular bulbs with CFL (compact fluorescent light) bulbs, alternating with renewable energy resources, planting a tree, are the different ways to lower the global warming. So Reduce, Reuse, And Recycle.

“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.
