Every form of life is being genetically engineered today. Humans are playing the video game of life! Cows are being genetically engineered to produce more milk. Chickens are being genetically engineered to produce more meat. Sheeps are being genetically engineered to produce more wool. Plants are being genetically engineered to produce more fruits and vegetables. Bacteria are being genetically engineered [...]

Two Indian workers were killed by the natives in a violence in the african country of Uganda a month bank. I do protest these killings, so do all other Indians. But I stop there. As for the cause goes, I am with the Ugandan people and not on the side of those who are opposing the native Ugandans there. The [...]

Suddenly got a doubt today while thinking about archeopteryx. Archeopteryx is the fossil of a creature which is said to have been in a transition phase from dinosaurs to birds. If life evolved as darwin had said say from one species to another, then where are the other fossils of intermediate species? Why havent we found any ? How can [...]

India and US are talking about a nuclear deal where in US will provide nuclear fuel for Indian reactors to generate power using nuclear energy. In other words, for the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Hyde’s act is the act which allows US govt to sell nuclear fuel to India. What does the US need in return? Separation of Indian [...]

Disclaimer: This post will make sense only to those interested in physics, more precisely to those who know general relativity and cosmology, and want to have a deeper insight into the mathematics of general relativity without having to do any actual Math. Nice to see you continue reading this post, Welcome aboard This is a slightly non technical version of [...]

We classify time as past, present and the future. Past is what has passed off, and future is the unseen, while present is the ongoing transition from past to future. This is what our entire life is all about. A transition from past to future. Lets talk about this present. What we see, is it really the present thing ? [...]

What we see is not what it is! What we see is just a custom mapping and interpretation by the brain of the data received from the eye. What we hear is a mapping of the data received from the ears. What we smell is a mapping of the data received from the nose, etc Lets take for instance, sight. [...]

I Robot – Remember this movie ? Robots made up of intelligent software, want to overtake human beings and rule the earth, bla bla bla The key is artificial intelligence, software that could mimic human intelligence and by the sheer processing power of the processors even overcome(?) human intelligence. Some fear that one day computers will be more intelligent than [...]

Came across this video while doing some research on tilak’s “Arctic home in the vedas” which says that during the Vedic Age India was alongside current arctic region. According to the continental drift theory, all present 7 continents we see now were once attached to each other (as a giant continent called pangea) and then started moving apart giving rise [...]

I am fed up repeatedly hearing the totally illogical, stupid argument some people put forward saying “It was the british who created a united India, and before the british came, there was no concept of India at all!” Forget uniting, the British actually divided India into three pieces before they left in 1947! Let’s start with the very basics of [...]

Thanks to the blog visitor who invoked enough curiosity in me to crack down the age of the universe according to the vedas. Here is the result of the research I did over the internet and dug up through some text material I had, to find the accurate meaning of time measurements specified in the vedas. Introduction Vedas say that [...]

An experiment of its own kind, this vedic rock album “Mrityunjaya” from the Indian band “Agni” is based on ancient Indian classical music and mainly on vedic chants. This particular song is called Tandav. But I doubt if there is anybody today who can perform an actual “Tandav” dance, especially the aggressive Rudra Tandav. Tandav is said to be originated [...]

The british who ruled India wanted Indians to feel that everything west, english and european to be superior, and anything that had to do with Indian culture and history as inferior, unscientific and stupid. Macauley introduced the english education system in India which enforced these thoughts about western superiority and Indian inferiority in the minds of the Indian children. Max [...]

In one of my earlier blogs , I had mentioned that India alone needs one and a half times the energy currently consumed by entire world, if India were to be a nation as developed as USA. The living standards of a developed nation like USA is completely dependent on the availability of energy for all the necessities and luxuries [...]

This is the age of information. Internet is the sum of all knowledge gained by humans throughout our recorded history, (of course except for those behind the scenes R&D and classified information and technology in NASA, Pentagon, etc). In this IT age, what should be taught to children as part of their education. Do we need to focus on piling [...]

We cannot deny the fact that humans are intelligent. If not for the human intelligence you would not have been reading possibly even within seconds of my writing this blog, given the fact that we both may be on opposite parts of this globe! Thanks to technology, we can communicate with each other at lightning speed, we have mapped the [...]

A friend of mine wanted to smoke a Wills cigaratte and I just created a funny two liner on the fly and warned him about the dangers of smoking saying, Where there is a will there is a way, Where there is a Wills cigaratte, there is only one way and pointed upwards towards the sky As we all know [...]

We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made . – Albert Einstein The ingenious method of expressing every possible number using a set of ten symbols (each symbol having a place value and an absolute value) emerged in India. The idea seems so simple nowadays [...]

<< Alien Twist to God Series I suggest that you read the following earlier blogs of mine (if you havent read them already!) before we untie the next knot of the alien twist. This will give you a clear picture about the basics before we move forward Modern Science and Ancient India Ancient Nuclear War Iron Pillar What the ancient [...]

While writing a piece of software I got this thought about a feature that could be provided in programming languages (at least I am not aware of any language which has this feature) Usually when we want to assign a value of a variable “a” to another variable say “b” all we do is write b=a; Now consider this case.
