philosophy:pothole

What are the main reasons for road accidents? Hmmm.........maybe drunk driving,rash driving, colour blindness :p, or total blindness :D.

But I actually feel that not only careless driving, but also a bit of careful driving adds to the growing number of accidents taking place throughout the world, day after day.



How?
potholes in the roads cause accidents! They definitely damage vehicles but how do they actually cause accidents? These actually cause most drivers to divert their path, so as to prevent any damage to their vehicles. It is okay on an empty road. But, when there is heavy traffic ... the chance for an accident to take place is very high.

So,not only careless driving but also careful driving can lead to a disaster.

Which eyed!!!

Most of either right handed or left. Can this be true for the eyes as well. Are we right eyed/ left eyed? Does one eye of yours dominate most of the vision?

Apparently, the answer to the above questions is a YES! I will give to a simple experiment to check it out yourself. But, there is no rule that right handers are right eyed and vice versa.

Here is the test:

1. Extend your arms in front of you with your palms facing away.
2. Bring your hands together, forming a small hole by crossing the thumbs and fore fingers.
3. Choose a small object about 10 feet away from you. With both eyes open, focus on the object as you look through the small hole.
4. Close one eye and then the other. One of the eyes should see the object move, or jump to the side.
5. The eye that sees the object move is the dominant eye.

Most people automatically use their dominant eye when looking through a camera eyehole or a telescope.

:D

A dream Shatters!

My dreams of reaching 'India Top 10' in Trackmania Nations have shattered on the same day my laptop was battered by the lightning.

Trackmania Nations is Massively Multiplayer On-line Game. It belongs to Racing Genre but, Its far more than racing. Complex tracks add to the beauty of the game. But the main thing that keeps you going is the points system and the fact that you can represent your country and battle it against other players of countries far away. There are a total of 1.7 million gamers who registered for playing the game. A lot of the servers are always full irrespective of the time of the day(coz its Global). There is a representation for 89 countries, as far as i remember. India ranked 47th while I was playing. There are 2050 members registered in India. Before my laptop expired I made to 12th place in India and 70xx(7000 odd) in the World. My goal was to feature in Indian Top 10 but i couldn't realize it.

Safety First!

If you can notice, there is a steep decline in the no. of posts i made from mid-July. What can be the reason? I was at home and using my old laptop. It was a rainy day. There were no thunders. A perfect time to play TrackMania!

Noooooooooo!!! 5 minutes after i switched on the laptop, lightning strikes. The impact was felt by everyone in the apartment. A huge sonic wave blew away my ears(not literally). The screen of my laptop monitor shut down. I was expecting the worst and the worst had happened. When I went to the service center, they said that the mother board and battery were burnt and need to be replaced.

So guys, the moral of the story is:::
Never turn on any electrical equipment during a storm.

I'm a REBEL?

I had thought about it for a bit and then decided that i am a rebel. This is not the word that defines me as a person who opposes the government by force or as a confederate soldier. So what am I, I feel that i am a person different from others who have similar origins.

Origin!!! I am not going into the history of mankind here. I will give you the incident that made me realize this, so that things will be more clear to you. Student Elections are scheduled to held on 31st of this month. There are two contenders for the gen-sec. I am the campaigning manager of one of them. A debate was held for the candidates on 23rd August. Three people in the opposition candidate's support made me think of the idea that i got. These three guys were from the same school that i hailed from.

So what? I am different and I stand by own opinion. That doesn't make me a rebel, does it? There are many other factors that influenced the split, i guess. I definitely was a rebel somewhere in my past but now things have changed.

Rain Rain!!!

I had returned back to college on the 30th of July. It was all raining in the country as traveled from the south to north of India.But, it was totally different in pilani. It was hot as usual. I felt that some things would never change. But, within 2 days I had discovered that they will.

It was raining from that day to the time i am publishing the blog...at least once a day.This is going to be a tough semester as some of my friends say, so i might not blog that frequently.Anyway...I learned a new safety tip practically, never turn on unprotected electric equipments during thunder storms...most of u might know this but just make sure u follow it. I burnt my laptop when I am at home.

:D ,no actually it is sad :C ,as i had to stop playing TMNF when i was No.12 in India.Also I had to replace the mobo which costs quiet a bit.

Adios!

Happy friendship Day
