About Crab Walking

It's easy for people to move their legs forward or backward. That's because of the way they're attached to the body. People's knees bend towards the front, and that also makes it easy to walk forward. But a crab's legs are attached to the sides of its body. And its joints, unlike our knees, bend so that the crab can walk sideways. That's why crabs walk the way they do. an we do it? Crabs have five legs on each side of their shell. The front pair are for grasping, and remaining four pairs are walking or swimming. Each leg has seven joints, arranged so that the crab walks sideways. Frog crabs and spider crabs however, have legs designed to enable them to walk forward.

Know about Alfred Nobel

Alfred Nobel was born on October 21,1833, in the Swedish capital of Stockholm.Born into a relatively well-heeled family.Nobel had informal education having been tutored at home until the age of 16.In 1866 to 1867,Nobel invented dynamite and won a patent for it.Nobel created a controllable combustible that made blasting rock and the construction of canals and tunnels a relatively safe process.Other than the patent for dynamite,Nobel,a prolific inventor, held a little over 350 patents to his credit.Nobel was fluent in Swedish,Russian,English and French, which shows that his interests were not limited to science alone.After the invention of dynamite, Nobel set up a large number of companies and labs in over 20 countries and amassed a fortune.On November 27,1895,Nobel signed his final will at the Swedish-Norwegian club in Paris.Prior to this, in 1888,when Nobel's brother Ludwig died, a French newspaper erroneously ran a obituary for Nobel,which called him "a merchant of death".This epitaph hurt Nobel deeply as he was a commited pacifist.He created a will, which bequeathed a large part of his estate to a trust.He specified that the trust would use the money to establish the Nobel Prize.He died of cerebral haemorrahage in the Italian town of San Remo on December 10, 1896.

My Review about Alastair Reynolds

Reynolds has excellent ideas and his writing skills have improved over time (Example: characterization), but his plots are somewhat haphazard and the pacing is inconsistent. Chasm City remains his finest book in my opinion. All of the threads work well together, and the gradual revelation of Tanner Mirabel's secrets is brilliantly realized. Revelation Space was a good debut but fatally flawed due to its paper-thin characters and that mind-numbing physics info-dump at the end. Redemption Ark was good up until the overly long ship chase (which took up about half of the book) and the skipped-over relativistic space battle. Absolution Gap took too long to get going and then took the absolute piss by doing a Hamilton at the end. I keep hearing good things about his short stories, and I'm hoping that they are more consistent than his novels. Nightshade Books should be churning out a collection of these stories sometime this year.

Know Marital Arts

Martial arts is an omnibus term used to designate many different styles of weaponless fighting as well as systems of armed fighting. As the term is now used, it refers only to those fighting styles which developed in Asian countries. It would be more accurate to include among the martial arts the skills which were originally used for combat regardless of the country or region in which they were developed. Fencing, wrestling, boxing and archery are martial arts in exactly the same sense that judo, kendo, karate, aikido and kung fu are martial arts.

Stranger in Home

We had just shifted to our new house.I was a stranger to a few things.Among them,one was the geyser in the bathroom.My father had told me how to operate the geyser.I would have to open the tap first and then switch on the geyser.And while switching it off,it had to be geyser first,and then the tap.I had to have my bath the next day as usual earl in the morning,still sleepy eyed,I switched on the geyser and waited for hot water.After a while.I noticed smoke coming out of the geyser.I shouted for help.My father came running and switched off the geyser.Since I was very young at that age, I was terrified when I saw the smoke.I knew something was wrong thankfully my father managed to pull me out of the bathroom in time.

Predicting likelihood

In predicting your likelihood of promotion, you may be better off focusing on the trends that are apparent in your job performance over time, rather than obsessing over minor, passing fluctuations. People around you are likely to need some help from you to take notice of fine-granted details in your life behaviors. "While we live our own lives under a microscope and we are present all the time when we do things, other people are not there with us," notes Ragu. "That's a problem for intuiting other people's thoughts because we tend to evaluate ourselves in much finer detail. We look at ourselves from the street view, whereas other people are looking at us from space." A two idiot explodes a sphere.

My experince

Well, I would like to say something from my past experience. I have studied for my graduation in engineering from a technical institute. All the subjects taught were of a technical kind. Even a single paper we had on English, emphasized on technical writing and official document writing. There was no subject at all that would cultivate a finer side of the human mind. Those who did their majors in chemical or mechanical engineering, say, had to take up three to four additional papers. But the only options to choose from were either more complicated master's level subjects of their own specialized stream or some other subject taught at some other specialization courses like IT/Bio tech etc. Despite all these, we had a student community who actively participated in creating literary wall magazines and annual magazines. Maybe none of us had the knowledge about English Literature in details still that did not deter us from putting up small contributions for a little library comprising of classics and contemporary literature. And numerous students avidly read these books. So I believe, by not encouraging literature too, the inherent flow of creativity can never be stopped. Evolution would have to be reversed if we have to become barbarians again. However, people may say that as long as wars are there, we are not that developed than a vicious animal. But, I believe, like the new Nicole Kidman movie, Invasion, war is a proof that human beings have advanced emotional development, since they can differentiate between right and wrong and can fight for their cause.

Have Calculations

I studied the Fibonacci and binary sequences with the guidance of the angels, who were constantly leading me through it. The more I studied them, the more I personally believed that there must be geometry behind them, a secret form that created these number sequences. Since the angels said that the human body and geometry fields are the measuring stick of the universe, I suspected strongly that if these two sequences were like two mother/father, male/ female components, then there must be a single geometric form hidden behind them, a form that generated both. I searched for a way to wed them.

About Meditation

Meditation means continuous remembering of the divine knowledge which yields the direct fruit here itself. Such a person gets a fruit in the upper world also. The only one Lord is the authority here and there also. Anybody blessed here will be blessed there also. If one is not blessed here he is not blessed in the upper world also. The grace of the Lord or the anger of the Lord is uniform here and there. One who is not blessed here cannot be blessed there. Thus the true knowledge blesses any person here and there. Meditation is continuous thinking of such knowledge and other interpretations are either useless or of little use.

A Beach Journey

The day was boring as usual with no sort of entertainment.Then I decided to spend some time in beach.I called my neighbor, who idle sitting in home.I asked him to accompany me to the beach.We boarded the bus at 3 in the afternoon.It was a horrible experience as it took nearly 2 hours to reach the spot.My neighbor was very much excited as it was the second time he came to the beach.I brought him ice cream and spent some time playing with water.I was almost 6 in the evening we once again boarded the bus back to home.As usual the bus travel was horrible with evening traffic jam adding fuel to fire.I reached home at 9 o clock in the night.I felt very much tired and I dosed away.

My Spirtual View

Well, my view on it is what I've learned over the years of practicing both...basically in a nutshell spirituality can only be practiced or believed in as a concept if a person believes that there is in fact a spirit in him or in others. Otherwise it beats the purpose of its name.

On the other hand, religion is the organised and guided manner to practice spirituality. No religion can exist unless it acknowledges as its basic tenet that man is a spiritual being. Unfortunately, modern perceptions have led to people confusing the two with each other, and now (I'm generalising here) people tend to believe that a religious person is a spiritual person and vice versa. While the first is possible even though he doesn't have to be a practicing religious, (because his basic belief in religion stems from his belief that he is a spirit-based being), the second doesn't have to be possible because he can believe in a spirit-realm and his own spiritual existence, but doesn't want to get involved in organised worship or acknowledgement.

My Garden

Many people like to have garden at their home. It’s not possible for every one of us to have a garden. You can make it possible.You don’t need acres of space, to have a garden to have a garden a small patch of land will do .Even if a small patch of land is not available, get yourself a few hardy indoor plants which can be frown indoors.Most Indian homes keep a thulsi plant on the kitchen windowsill. Apart from the traditional significance thulsi's medicinal properties are well documented.Many of them also have roses being planted on the path ways surrounding the houses which also brings pleasantness. Even you can have a garden for yourself in your home by planting small plants in pots around your house.

My Olden Days

This happened when I was two years old.My mother left me in the balcony for some time while she went about her chores.My brother was away at school and my father had gone to the bank.While playing I noticed a small round mirror had fallen off my mother's Saree as it dried on the washing line.I used to put everything in my mouth,the mirror was no exception.While I was chewing the mirror my father returned home and came to play with me in the balcony.When he saw I was chewing something,he asked me to open my mouth.My tongue was bleeding and my mouth was full of broken bits of mirror.My father called the doctor.The doctor told him to wash my mouth and give me two or three bananas.The mirror pieces stuck to the banana and passed out through the stools the next day.

Sweet Dreams

One night,I was alone at home for my parents and sister had gone out for a party.It was nearly midnight and I had been watching TV when the lights went off.I decided I might as well go to bed, and groped my way in the dark to my bedroom.Sometime later something woke me up.I was startled to see a black snake in my bed.Luckily the lights came on just then.I started laughing when I realised that the 'snake' was simply a big coil of rope!I related this incident to my family when they came home and they too had a good laugh over it. The skin jumps opposite the impersonal convenience.

Visit to Mysore

On a visit to Mysore, my friends and I were playing 'hide and seek' in the paddy fields.But while playing, we saw some paddy fields burning.I immediately ran to inform my parents but my father was busy with his work and paid no attention to me.Just then, I saw a man coming to the field, and I told him about the fire.He was alarmed for he was the owner of those fields.Soon he and his friends were throwing water on the fire.This went for half an hour before the fire was brought under control.Luckily many of the paddy fields could be saved.The owner thanked me and treated me to some chocolate cakes.
