YES ! IF ‘US’ CAN SEE UFO, WHY NOT ME !!
During my childhood I had a very strong scientific mind of inventing and discovering things like every other kid. Perhaps it was a bit stronger in me … I had gone through many crazy attempts and this is one of them.
Every night I go to the terrace and watch the sky. As a student I was very crazy about geography and biology. I was too keen in experimenting and observing what ever I had read in these books. Hence I used to watch stars, Observe weather satellites, shooting stars, meteoroids and Of course Space ships. I kept watching the sky without killing my hope even if I don’t see any space ship for a month or more. But fortunately I used to see it some time. Before you all misunderstand let me explain things clearly. They were aeroplanes and I thought they were space ships. At night when you look at aeroplanes that are far away they will look like a UFO with colorful lights. You wont be able to see its head or tail. In total it will look like a round or circular machine. When I happen to see such UFO’s and late night I used to call my siblings and they used to come up and watch the sight. Above all I used to talk to them seriously about UFOs and Aliens and we all had a feeling that UFOs can watch us in a more advanced way. Keeping this in mind we all used stand decently as if posing for a photograph and scream from the terrace looking at the space ship “ We are your friends!”. I guess our neighbors would have heard it.
I even had thought that US had seen that UFO come to earth :) Any how even if I haven’t seen any true space ship I had watched a lot of weather satellites and many more….

I got to read an article on the water powered car invented by Japanese. Then i thought of posting it so that someone can dream about a better world
As per the claims it runs only on a 300W “Water Energy System (WES)” where WATER is the only FUEL.
The basic power generation mechanism of the new system is similar to that of a normal fuel cell, which uses hydrogen as a fuel. According to Genepax, the main feature of the new system is that it uses the company’s membrane electrode assembly (MEA), which contains a material capable of breaking down water into hydrogen and oxygen through a chemical reaction.
A Japanese venture company, Genepax, has unveiled a car on that runs on water. All it requires is a litre of water. In fact, any kind of water to be exact, whether its river, rain, sea water, or even Japanese tea. Its an electric powered car that runs solely on hydrogen dioxide.
“The main characteristic of this car is that no external input is needed. The car will continue to run as long as you have a bottle of water inside for you to add from time to time,” said Kiyoshi Hirasawa, Chief Executive Officer of Genepax, after he proudly announced the company’s invention.
Once water is poured into the water tank at the back of the car, the newly invented energy generator takes out the hydrogen from the water, releases electrons and finally generates electrical power.
“We highly recommend our system since it does not require you to build up an infrastructure to recharge your batteries, which is usually the case for most electric cars,” said Hirasawa, who is hoping to advertise the car in time for the upcoming G8 Summit in Hokkaido, Japan.
According to the company, 1 liter of water keeps the car running for about an hour with a speed of 80 kilometers or 50 miles an hour. The company has applied for a patent and is hoping to collaborate with Japanese automobile manufacturers to mass manufacture their invention in the very near future. As fuel prices continue rising and people look for greener alternatives, companies globally are trying to come up with alternatives.
Lets hope for the best….

The day I became yellow ….mmm… it was some kind of college education itself….:)
During my college days I used to be extravagant. I never bothered how much I spend and what all I shop. Most of the items I buy used to be a waste of money. The below incident will tell you how did God teach me a lesson.
As usual I took my last minute decision for going home on Friday. I told my friends (Arya, Dhanya and Smitha ) about my decision and happily packed my bag. My friends accompanied me to the Railway station, which was very near to my hostel. As usual I kept my luggage inside the compartment and jumped out of the train to act smart when the train start to move. Stepping outside the train I roamed with my friends. I took them for shopping. Now the real story begins… I bought some snacks and cool drinks for all of us and purchased some books for them and for me to read while traveling…. I was very happy that I spend all the money before I reach my hometown.
I heard the loud horn of the train and the train started to move. I waved hands to my friends and got into the train. I enjoyed the holiday spirit till the moment I saw TTR in our compartment.
I searched for my ticket… It was then I remembered the flash back…
I didn’t get the reservation since I took a last minute decision to go to my native. Hence I got into reservation compartment on buying an ordinary ticket. I thought I could pay the amount for reservation later when TTR comes for checking. When I roamed with my friends I gave my ticket to one of them and forgot to collect it. I had emptied my purse without thinking that I should give additional money for a reservation seat. When the TTR arrived I didn’t have ticket and in addition to that I don’t have money to pay for the ticket. I told my story to him which he least bothered. TTR had a soft corner. He said I must give him money; at least the costs of an ordinary ticket some way or other. I said I don’t have money. The guys inside the compartment were murmuring looking at me. I turned to yellow and pink.
TTR asked me to get money from someone and give to him…
I searched every pocket of my bag and found INR 47/- only. I was well dressed and I have no idea how to beg. I used to be very devoted to God … hence the first thing that came to my mind was to pray hard. I prayed and proceeded to other seats. I found a girl seated in my same compartment but a few seats ahead. I went and sat next to her.
Me: Hi I am..
Girl: Hi
Me: (narrated my story and…then)… I WILL GIVE YOU THE MONEY BACK…can u give me some… some. ahhh… 50 Rs?
Girl: YES. Have this…. (Gave me Rs 50)
Me: I am very thankful to you. Please give me your address. I will courier it to you.
I noted down her address in my favorite songbook. (I still have it)
On returning to my seat I saw the TTR waiting. I gave him 97/- He gave me a discount of INR 1/- or 2/- ONLY. Anyhow I realized that there are people like me in this world. The girl who gave me the money was one among them. She didn’t think that I am a fraud or not but gave me the money the moment I asked her.
After the bad experience I sat on my seat and started scribbling something in my songbook to cover the shame. The story you are reading is pulled out from that book.
I returned home and couriered her money with a note of thanks in which I mentioned that she was an angel. To my surprise I received her reply.
