Novel ways to introduce a novel

I am going to write a novel, since I am going to get twenty days leave. I have a broad outline of what it is going to be and it will be about the secret that is India. It will start like this "...Standing underneath the Big Ben, ironically I thought, the timer of the time bomb has been revealed just an hour ago by my doctor. He told that my life ends in this earth by six months from now. So Assertive and so positive. And I have a bizzare idea of how to go about those six months."

Scientist Vs Siddha

Wow. I blogged more than a year back. Got caught up in office mayhems and didn't find time to blog. Any how, today I felt like writing some thing. So this post.
The other day I was listening to a student saying "How can we believe what we can't see, touch or feel". He was arguing the point with a lot of passion which made me laugh. I asked him whether he know something called "perceive" which differ from person to person. He said perceiving as it differs from person to person and for the very reason will not satisfy scientist like him. He said science will accept only proofs which can be tested and explained at all conditions.
The lacunae with science is that it does not have explanations or answers to all the questions, but when it test something it will not take into account this shortcoming and will says "Hi! since you cannot explain the thing you say to my fullest satisfaction , your claim is false".
That is why scientist do not believe siddhas did not exist or for that matter do not exist. Siddhas are the persons who explained about atom thousands of year back, which the scientists still try to figure out (Remember the Large hedron collider). They are the persons who told about how to live just by breathing in air and converting that air to food. Actually all the problems of today's world can be solved through their ideas and ways, but it is not open to all mortals because their ideas are double edged sword which will harm when you use thosse ideas without knowledge.

Publicity for a good cause

The other day, I was watching NDTV. Normally I am not a big fan of 24/7 News channels. But while I was skimming through the channels, I came across "greenathon". For a change, this News channel for once is doing a good job for a good cause. They had collected more than 1.25 crores to light villages using solar powered lanterns. Marathon and interviews were done for the cause. They started with a target of lighting 16 villages, but they can light 41 villages with the contributions that poured during that 24 hour period. How heartening. NDTV would have craved for publicity, but it is for a good cause. Kudos to NDTV.

Humanity

It was a particularly rainy day at Madurai.  It rained cats and dogs for the last saturday and sunday and there was flooding every where, except my locality.  On Monday as per the urge of surging testoserone in blood and the bravado attached to youth, I decided to take a bus to my college without heeding to my mom's word.  Every thing was alright until six kms.   After 6 kms, I saw no bus has been coming from the opposite direction of our travel. My inner feeling told that something was wrong.  The Bus was travelling comfortably.  After sometime I noticed that no vehicles were coming from behind us.  After 8 kms, there was a huge traffic jam and no vehicle was moving.  People were talking that the bridge that connect madurai with other parts of northern Tamil nadu was overflowing.  Mentally I decided that it was not possible to reach my college.  So, I planned to return home.  That was when I heard people saying that a lake which was adjacent to the highway was breaching.  As on que, the force of already running water started to increase.  I panicked.  People started walking back in the way in which our bus came. I also joined them.  All the time the water level was raising and force of it increased.  Since, I am polio attacked in one leg I had strength only in one leg and it was very difficult for me to brave those waters.  I was almost at the verge of quitting the struggle to walk in those gusghing waters and was ready to be swept by those waters.  Just then, I heard a voice saying that "we will hold you, Don't worry!'. I turned up to see a person who seems to be a typical metro person.  He again put his arms under my shoulders and lifted me with the help of three of his friends.  Thus I was lifted above the water.  They carried me like this for three kilometers after which they bring me to the safety  of Meenakshi Missin Hospital.  They told me to wait there till the waters recede and offered me money for buying some thing at the canteen.  I politely turned down their request and asked who they are.  They said that all of them are Doctors working there at Meenakshi Mission Hospital.  They immediately went to attend the patients who are waiting to be treated.  That Day I realised that the world cared for me.  From that Day I started concentrating more on my studies
