What Are We Doing?

India has been having political problems with Pakistan and China for years. We might have won certain wars but what have we actually achieved? Did we keep Jammu and Kashmir safe from their invasion? Have a look at the present map of Jammu and Kashmir. The complete northern areas in green now belongs to Pakistan and the eastern area called Aksai Chin belongs to China. Only the orange part belongs to India now.

The famous victory of Kargil War didn't keep Pakistan away from Kashmir but the hard truth is we just kept them from further invasion. With nearly half of our precious Kashmir into the hands of our enemy are we looking to get it back? What are we actually doing? Do our politicians think that Pakistan will give it back to us as a gift if we have "PEACE TALKS"???

I can understand that India least require a war at this point of time when our economy is booming and we are nearing the developed stage. Yet it is unbelievable to think that India isn't trying to get it back at all.

I just hope that India's map in the future will be the same as at Independence (with the full J&K under India).

A/C Bus Station In India

You would have probably heard this news from TV and newspaper that Bharati AirTel has launched India's first ever A/C Bus Station at Kasturiba Street, Bengaluru. Here is a picture of our first ever A/C Bus Station.


It is really nice that India is developing but this is nothing to the one I found on net. Here is a picture of an A/C Bus Station at Curitaba, Brazil. It is simply amazing and our Bharati's is nothing compared to it.



When is India gonna create something as this? No idea! We just have to wait and watch.

Geminids Possible?

The time is 3 am on the day of the Geminids. I just went up to my terrace to have a look at the sky. Just as I hoped there wasn't any clouds. I was really happy about it. But something else started bothering me. It was the full moon. The moon was very bright. It was almost near the zenith (the point exactly over your head). The moon was so bright such that even the great Orion Constellation was very dull. And the stars in the sky was countable. All I could see on the sky other than the moon was the Orion belt, Betelguese, Regiel, Sirius, Regulus, Pollux, Arcturus, Canopus, Capella, Aldebaran, Procyon and ofcourse Saturn. The number of stars in the sky is so easily countable. I wonder how many of the meteors can actually be seen. Its gonna be difficult but I'll never let my hopes down.

Geminids 2008

Hi guys... Its meteor showers tomorrow. Its called Geminids because the meteors appear to originate near the Gemini constellation. Geminids are one the best meteor showers of the year. Its bright and you can catch up as much as 100 meteors an hour. So look around the sky between 8 pm on Dec 13th, saturday until 4am on Dec 14th, sunday.

For other details visit the post "Geminids 2008" on my other blogspot blog, "Fly With a Twitter".

Being Full Moon, we may only be able to catch up bright meteors. So be patient. Happy meteor hunting.
