Last year, in the month of August I had observed a tiny plant in our front yard . As day passed, it was becoming taller . By external features, it looked like a papaya plant.
My mother was very happy that papaya tree is growing in our front yard. As everyone know that I think logically, this time also I was not ready to believe it as a papaya tree. My logic based on several facts. 1. In recent days, we didn't have eaten papaya fruit. So there is no chance that one of us had put the seed in the soil and were responsible for the birth of plant. 2. Our neighbours too didn't have this plant in their garden. So no question of pollination arises . Based on these facts, I concluded that it must be a stray plant. I decided to pluck it out. I went near the plant and tried to pull it. But it was having a good grip and I couldn't pull it. Finally I changed my mind and broke down its stem. I thought it will die on its own. But that plant is very stubborn and again it started to grow. Now it has its twin brother also , two plants emerging from same stem !!! By this time, in house everyone were aware of what I did. I was forbidden to touch the plant. Everyone were quite sure that it is the papaya plant except me. I decided to wait and watch. ..... On new year day, first papaya fruit was available on the same plant. After 3 days one more. ! Now when eating those papaya fruit, I thought this plant is very kind hearted. Eventhough I tried to kill it , it didn't mind and changed my way of thinking by giving tasty papaya fruit. Moral : Don't underestimate anyone . |

What colour would the leaf look ?
We know leaf looks green in daylight . Chlorophyll present in leaf absorbs all the colours of light spectrum but reflects green . Hence leaf looks green to our eye .
Now let us change the source of light . Now leaf is in dark room under a red light . Now without any prior thinking , if we look at leaf , what colour it has ?
??????
??????
Leaf looks BLACK !
Why is it so ?
Let me explain . If it is under daylight , it just reflects the green light wavelength of light spectrum . Not others .
Now the source of light itself is red light . Remember , leaf only reflects green light and absorbs all the other colours .
This time also , leaf absorbed red light . Since no green light wavelength is available in present light spectrum , it has nothing to reflect .
Hence , leaf would look black.

Sons of Karna
Karna is a character in great epic Mahabharata . Though Karna is the first son of Kunti , he was disowned by her as she was still unmarried. Then he was brought up by a fisherman named Adhiratha and his wife Radhe who were childless.
That's why he is also referred as Radheya ( son of Radhe ) and also as Soota Putra ( son of fisherman ). Karna was married to Vrushali and Supriya . He had 9 sons. They were ---- 1. Vrishasena 2. Vrishaketu 3. Chitrasena 4. Satyasena 5. Sushena 6. Shatrunjaya 7. Dvipata 8. Banasena 9. Prasena All of them took part in Kurukshetra war . But Vrishaketu was the only survivor of the war. |

Doomsday is nearing........
I mean it. If one see the abnormal things happening, then that person will surely think like this .....
Now I will come straight to the point. By reading the above paragraph, it is obvious that I have seen an unusual thing. Yes.... This is the first time I have seen it. Yesterday I have seen 1...2.....no.... no..... total 3 cats climbing the medium size tree !!!! Do they think themselves as monkeys ? Well .... This is unusual. All these days I have seen cats walking on ground or on compound wall. But climbing the tree with their friends and sitting there talking with each other surely points out that.... DOOMSDAY IS NEARING.... ..... My advice : Be prepared ....... . |
