Feeling Hot Hot Hot!!

The soothing sunshine has moved on to become scorching heat. Underground temperatures inches above the ground, hence authorities have put up signs to carry a bottle of water during day time. It's slightly odd for countries and designs which are created to use as much heat as from the atmosphere to switch sides and try and cool things down! Global warming is hitting us in un-imaginable ways.

I am reminded of floods in Rajasthan, which houses largest desert of India. News channels later reported a few people dying because they didn't know swimming. How do you expect people who've never seen so much water to know swimming? Another scene from Gods must be crazy 2, where Xi's kids fall into a tank of water, and are quite thrilled by it. APJ Abdul Kalam, our most respected President writes in his book that a school girl in Bengal asked him a very interesting question. She said every year there are many people suffering because of floods on Bengal and many other people suffer because of droughts, why not take all the water from big rivers to the desert?? Innocent but truly intriguing. River interlinking projects has had many for and against debates. China AFAIK has implemented it fir Yangtze, but it caused water borne epidemics to spread, which later deemed the interlinking as not feasible.

We learn from our mistakes. Concorde being an ideal example. Man wants to fly in supersonic speeds. I'm wondering whether BA would have hit such huge losses if they wouldn't have lost many million on the failed Concorde project. The thirst of the superlative doest eludes the human brain.

Any ways football continues to give me my share if perspiration and sound sleep. Williams’s sisters again reach Wimbledon final proving that it is their family championship tournament. Saw the whole TV series Chanakya, which I was very impressed with. He was the visionary teacher of Chandragupta Maurya who was the first king to unite India as a country as early as 320 BC. The series shows many interesting facets of the then society, Alexanders invasion and lots of other internal fighting’s. Many things to say regarding those, but am sleepy so...
