My own window to the cosmos

Since childhood, astronomy has been a mystery and the night sky a source of amusement which I longed to delve into. Though Stephen Hawking’s books were given a customary read, my first concrete step came in the form of a telescope. Buying it with the money I earned through an internship, made it an event of even greater satisfaction.

Well, then came the question, “Which telescope should I buy?” Google confirmed the difficulty: “Not an easy question.” Further research suggested a few choices but

How to Keep Your City Clean and Why it is necessary?

Take two straights questions from the title.

Tips for Safety Driving Mode in Chennai

The sign says: Drive safely. Indeed, I wonder what qualifies as safely?

Or are driverless cars all the way better?

No, defensive driving does not mean you hit the other guy first. Nor does aggressive driving constitute mere flaunting of biceps and making rude gestures.

According to the Safe Practices for Motor Vehicle Operations, ANSI/ASSE Z15.1, defensive driving skills are described as “driving to save lives, time, and money, in spite of the conditions around you and the actions of others.”

Blurred Classifications ~ Conquest of Red Indians ~

To address the question, “Were indigenous people victims or collaborators in the Spanish conquest of Mexico?” we need to consider various insights that might have influenced the victory of Cortes.

Initially consider the assistance to Spanish army in 1519 by Tlaxcalans, Tobascans, Totonacs and other city-states bordering the Lake Texcoco. The blatant reason behind this ready submission was the realisation that they have a common enemy: ‘The Aztec Empire’. They were prompted by the thought of def

Little Green Men!?

In the year 1967, scientists made a startling discovery. Something or someone seemed to send us signals. Something in the night sky was turning on and off. They were so excited that after confirming their discovery, they thought that they had picked up the signals sent by civilizations elsewhere. These were given the name Little Green Men (LGM). Were aliens trying to convey something to us?

In England, two astronomers Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Antony Hewish detected these signals with a primitiv

Finding Long Lost Friends in Facebook Era

A cousin of mine recently attended a reunion of her friends, whose contact was long lost but had been traced out on the virtual world. Seeing her go all praises for cyberspace, I wondered how many such explorers succeed, but I was surprised to find that very few make a failed attempt. Assisted by these stories, I am exhorted to write about finding long lost friends in the Facebook era.

Is Ayurvedic Medicine Losing Credibility in India?

Ayurveda has been in the news for both the right and the wrong reasons. While the right-wing NDA government has been eager to promote an Indian stream of medicine by setting up the Ministry of Ayush – Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani & Homoeopathy, the Indian Medical Association has been loggerheads with such alternative medical practitioners, barring them from practicing modern medicine even after training.

Ayurveda in Sanskrit means ‘science of longevity’, where ‘ayur’ stands for life and ‘veda’ me
