Don’t read this post...

Are you attracted to the title of this blog post which says “ Don’t read this post” and eventually start reading the post, its becoz the title invoked your curiosity.. Its the same curiosity which made us walk, run or cycle as far as possible in our childhood days to find, where the sun goes to sleep. Curiosity is the driving force for all inventions. Many authors name their book " Don't read this book", Don't knock my door" etc.. to increase the curiosity of the reader, urging him to buy.
Iron age man entered a cave, an unknown force attracted his Iron spear towards the wall, he was  afraid and ran away. Later curiosity brought him back to the same cave and he discovered magnet which lead  to invention of the compass. Compass further increased our curiosity, helping us navigate through forest, desert and seas. Curiosity is the driving force for invention, invention makes the mankind evolve which means curiosity helped the mankind to evolve.
With all said the most curious beings are the children, they are pretty curious about everything, trying to figure out the reason behind. We are obliged to enhance and streamline the curiosity of the younger generation in the right direction.
Whilst curiosity helps us to invent, occasionally we may run into inadvertent situations. Out of curiosity I decided to take a unknown new route while returning back home from work. The new route served as a refresher from my daily routine but I was badly struck in traffic and hit a dead end. After all the delays and hitting the dead end, I was forced to take my daily route. We  take new roads out of curiosity and may get stranded in the middle of nowhere. I am not against exploring new things but curiosity sometimes misleads. Curiosity killed the cat

Curiosity to know what's in the space led us to land in moon, conduct expedition to mars and build space station. Luckily water is scarce in mars otherwise travel agencies will start  travel Itinerary to mars and it will take one generation voyage to reach mars. Though we didn't find any substantial evidence of life we found geo-stationary orbit and launched all kinds of satellites creating traffic jams in the space. Now-a-days satellites are running bumper to bumper in geo-stationary orbit, worse than the traffic in Chennai or any other cities.
It was midnight and pitch dark, a stray dog started barking which grew in number and intensity. I felt someone jumping the fence forcing his way into our backyard. Was it a burglar targeting us in the midnight when the town was asleep. Holding my breath I stood up, missing few heartbeats, I peeped through the window and didn't notice any movement but I felt someone was hiding in the dark corner. Utter silence, again the dogs started barking in tandem. I was afraid like hell. Though afraid, I was curious to know what's happening around.. I pulled the torch light and beamed the light at the dark corner.... scary isn't it....
We have lot of scope to satisfy our curiosity Microscope( to magnify things), Telescope(to view far objects), Bioscope(movie camera), Periscope( struck in a bunker, use this to see the enemies). Without all these scopes humans are experts in magnifying, spying, creating stories etc... on others and their issues.
Light beam couldn’t reach the corner but I could see a bleak image holding its  pose and ready   to attack, I picked a small pebble and threw at the dark corner. Everything was happening in slow motion.. stone hits the corner... meow.. meow.. the cat ran for covers to other corner. I quickly realized two old friends were settling the scores and nothing serious to worry...
By now your curiosity about this post may be declining, I am pretty sure you got curious about the new whatsapp message just delivered to your smartphone. Curiosity sustains only until you find the answer, once you get the answer you move on exploring. Every year, Every month, Every Day, Every moment we get curious about something or other. Curiosity make our life more interesting and meaningful
Hope I have addressed the curiosity which got you to read this blog post. Don't forget to like and share. For those whose curiosity is not addressed I already warned you not to read this post(HaHaHa)
Stay Curious folks....

India and cultural diversity

Image
India is  a beautiful sovereign country and is one of the most culturally diverse country. Anyone in the world would easily accept India as a cultural capital. The list runs miles when we talk about the cultural experience in the form of art, festivals, customs, social behavior etc. In many countries uniform culture is adapted, whereas in India every 100KM one can experience a new cultural variant and in every 500KM can easily experience a completely different culture. If anyone wishes to witness the rich cultural heritage of India, watch the republic day parade on 26th January every year, where cultural diversity of India is demonstrated by a colorful parade. Every state of India showcase their cultural heritage with great pride during the Republic day parade. Its a real treat to watch the cultural diversity.  State of Tamilnadu team in Republic day Parade  Cultural diversity enriches the country with many art forms and enhances creativity. Every individual in India respec

Are you ready for hefty traffic fine..

Image
It’s a great pleasure to write a blog for a social cause.. Recently government of India increased the traffic fines by almost 10x times hoping that the hefty traffic fines would force public to follow traffic  rules. I have tried to give a dimension to this whole episode with respect to the responsibilities of the Government, Individuals & Institution. The increase in fine has created  uproar as well as support among the public. It is usual in any democracy to have such split opinions. I think I was in 9th grade when my class teacher was very fond of imposing hefty fines. In those time a fine of ten rupees was hefty for a ninth grader. I have been in the construction industry for almost 20yrs. Apart from the hazards at the project site, a constant threat was travel related safety. Hence we were educated to follow the traffic rules time and again. Coming back to the topic, I happened to hear opinion from friends, Indian colleagues about  the hefty fines which have sent shock

A tribute to the fearless man with a turban and big moustache

It was early 20th century... It was more than 50years since Sepoy Mutiny(1857) happened, Well, British governance was facing tough agitation from Indian tribal leaders, Nawab's and Kings in many forms. By then British were  ruling India for more than a century and they have no plans to leave India because of the wealth it possesses, abundance of raw materials and cheap resources . They started Indian rail, planted tea gardens, developed hill stations and India has became a county( I guess) and integral part of Great Britain and Indians became immigrants in their very own country While British were developing infrastructure for the sake of rich and the powerful, we Indians were busy fighting against each other in the name of caste, creed and religion. Many castes were prohibited from entering the temples, denied formal education and women had no respect and rights  in the society. Child marriage, bonded labor  and satti were in practice. India was in dire need of personali
