Honey moon

Recently, I heard an interesting fact about honey moon and i would like to share it..
Every full moon of the year has a special name. At the end of this post i will provide the list for people who is curious about it. But what is more curious than this??

Where did this name come from? Let's first see the uninteresting fact.
Every culture has its own description. But basically, they all mean the same. Its the first month after marriage where the newly wed celebrate their marriage.Everyone knows it. So what's special??

I wanted to talk about the science behind this.

The full moon of June month is called Honey Moon. Its called honey moon because at this time of the year the full moon appears amber in color similar to the color of honey.Also, it never actually gets high in the sky during June. I found this interesting rather than the other exotic stories about honey moon.

P.S :For people who wants just facts about other names scroll down:

January --- Wolf Moon ( The wolf packs are more visible under the moon light across the white snow )
February --- Snow Moon ( Because of heavy snow )
March --- Worm Moon ( Marked by end of winter, tapping of maple trees, cawing of crows and earthworm starts to appear because its starting to get warm )
April --- Pink Moon ( Marked by the advent of one of the earliest spring flower called the moss pink )
May --- Flower Moon ( Shows that spring has sprung abundant flowers everywhere )
June --- Strawberry Moon ( Indicates the short season of harvesting strawberries ) Well these naming system has got nothing to do with what i said.
July --- Buck Moon ( New antlers of buck deer pushes out of their foreheads during this season )
August --- Sturgeon Moon ( Named after the fish Sturgeon caught in the great lakes during this particular season ) Also, called as red moon since the moon appears reddish .. sorry no back up for this one...
September --- Corn Moon ( It is the chief harvesting season of the year .. It's also called as Harvest moon )
October --- Hunters Moon ( The winter is about to start hence, people have to store meat.. time for hunting!! )
November --- Beaver Moon ( Time to set traps to catch beavers.. Well wouldn't you be in need of fur?? )
December --- Long night moon ( Longest and darkest nights.. In fact the moon stays above horizon for a longer time than usual ).

Atlas Shrugged- A Review

Who am I to review ayn rand??? But why shouldn't I is a constant inner thought ...

I knew what i'm getting into, when i started to get involved with this book.Oh my.. I'm speaking as if its a relationship. Well... to me... every book i come across, is a new relationship ; a short journey with a cute little lesson. So many people advised me to read this particular book and so do I after finishing it. Let me be clear. Are you reading this post hoping to get an idea about the book . Sorry you are tuned to a wrong frequency . If you are looking for an inspiration, you are at the right channel. The book made a change to my life and i'm hoping to express the change rather than explaining my issues. All together this post covers the point why this book falls under must read category!!!

Wikipedia or any other search engine would have explained you that the book covers capitalism. In a way- Yes !!! It does. Every human being interprets pain in a different way( A bad analogy but i was tempted to use it). My interpretation of the book is different from others and i believe that would be the case with all good books. Ayn rand books always seem to make you think across boundaries. I'm not saying this because she tends to break the concept of conservationism in life, love and sex ; actually that's what makes you question your belief system in all prospects of life.I would consider it as an eye opener. I have listed the changes that i think i felt after reading this book. Feel free to interpret it in your own way.

Change No.1:
I have heard people say " the moment you try to adjust with someone you are faking it to appear as a good person". Lets say that's what i have been doing all my life and i was preached that its the right thing to do. Being someone you are not is the worse thing that can happen to you. The last sentence is very common.But always you are advised to act in a way so that everyone benefits, even though you are massacred. No one would care about your feelings, as long as they derive happiness out of your hard work.If that's the world you are being trained to live in, damn them all. Damn anyone who doesn't accept you as you are and if you can't accept someone as they are stay away.

Change No.2:
This book made me question the basics of my own principles, my ideas and my view on the society. Today i feel light hearted and easy going. To be honest, the book made me emotion less but pity feelings are worthless. It's not that i don't care about anyone, but it made me realize i can't do anything about others except trying to save myself from them. I let go of all relationships that meant nothing , to be exact which were basically a social necessity.

Change No.3:
The next big thing i learned from the book was that "Contradictions do not exist and if in doubt check your premises".This line inspired me to make the biggest decisions of my life.I had doubts in deciding whether things are right or wrong. I was trying to convince myself that by lying i'm saving someone from the disaster that the truth would cause. Its just an illusion, deep inside i knew i'm making a mistake. I didn't have the courage to say the truth; This book gave me the courage to choose between right and wrong. It made me realize that only one of them can exist and the decision is mine.

I would suggest this book to anyone who needs a change, a new life in a new world.
I don't know what change it will bring to your life but i'm sure there would be a change in you when you finish this book.

Anna and legal tender

Hi Friends!!!!

From now on, you can expect some small tit bits that i come across in my life.Of course they are informative or i believe so.

Anna- its not about the politician we admire.It is the oldest currency system in India.We all know that Indian currency is Rupee. Before that we had Anna in existence and i have used it even without realizing its significance.

12 Anna's make a rupee(100 Paise), 8 Anna's make a Artha Rupee, 4 Anna's make a Pavala, 2 Anna's make a Beda, 1/2 Anna makes a Paraka, 1/4 Anna makes a Kani, 1/12 Anna makes a Damidi.

Okay.... That was some kind of information... What does legal tender has to do with this??? What is legal tender in the first place???

As of 30 June, 2011 coil denominations less than 50 Paise have ceased to exist as legal tender. Which means that you can't pay anything using the coins under 50 Paise. You can't pay your debts, bills or any kind of financial obligation. If you had borrowed money from a guy who belongs to another country and if you intend to pay the guy using coins less than than 50 Paise , he can deny your payment .

Its so obvious that you have to pay through other means or go to jail. So don't risk it. In fact don't borrow money... Very bad idea !!!

Etymology of avra kehdabra

LANGUAGE ORIGIN: Aramaic Language (Part of world’s major language families)

GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION: Middle East, East Africa, North Africa, Sahel.

MEANING:

“Ibra” means “I have created” and “k’dibra” means “through my speech”. So the entire meaning is “created as I say” or “It will create as I speak”.

ORIGIN:

Though its historical origin is uncertain it was first recorded as “abrasadabra” in the second century A.D. in an ancient medicinal book called “Liber Medicinalis” written by Quintus Serenus Sammonicus.It was a Greek word which when translated to English via French and Latin got changed to “abracadabra”.

AUTHOR:

Quintus was a Roman savant (Savant means sometimes people tend to have developmental disorders which are compensated by extraordinary expertise in a particular area). Though we don’t have all the books written by him, his works shows popular remedies for various diseases. It was believed that a person who is sick should wear an amulet that contains an inscription of abracadabra written in inverted triangular form, which kind of acts like a funnel driving the sickness out of the body.

INSCRIPTION:

OTHER REFERENCES:

(1) It has also has its root in one of the other Afro-asiatic languages called the Hebrew languages. The root words for abracadabra are believed to be ‘ab’-‘father’ , ‘ben’-‘son’ and 'ruach acadosh' meaning 'holy spirit'.

(2) During the Mesopotamian history of neo- Babylonian empire, it was mentioned in Sumerian language as 'abbada ke dabra' meaning 'perish like the word'. I think they meant the disease.

(3) “Abraxas” the seven letter word represents the seven classic planets( Sun, Moon, mercury, venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) mentioned by gnostic teacher who lived in Alexandra, Egypt( In Greek 'gnostic' means 'learned'.

RUNE MYSTERIES:

Since we are on the topic, I want to discuss certain curses that existed in the world. In the late 8^th century during Viking period, the age during which Europe was explored through trade and warfare, Rune stones came into existence. Rune stones carried runic inscriptions which are believed to carry certain powers. The present generation doesn’t seem to approve the ingenuity of the runic inscriptions.

Sweden is one of the countries where rune stones are popular. In the Blekinge region of Sweden, stands a 4.2m runic stone that carries the following inscription:

' I ,the master of the runes conceal here runes of Power. Incessantly plagues by maleficence (evil),doomed to insidious death is he who breaks this monument.I prophesy destruction".

There are stories that state that people who have tried to remove the stone have suffered a tragic death.Though this rune stone has not been attributed to a particular rune master, there are various rune stones created by famous rune masters of Viking age all over Sweden.

P: S ---- For fun u can read an article about “curse of Tutankhamen” which I think needs lot of research to be done. May be one day I would write about it.

War of currents

Hii friends...

Its been so long since i wrote on science. Well this one came as a shock to me and i wanted to write about it.

I always used to love the image that was portrayed about Edison. Being an electrical engineer , i got inspired by the inventor of light bulb,phonograph,motion picture camera and so on.

Like every other geniuses he was proud and adamant about his inventions.

And that's how the war of currents started.............

Everyone knows there are two types of current D.C and A.C.

D.C- steady flow - Can supply current for two city blocks- U need generator for every other two blocks.

A.C- Can transmit current for long distance- Can supply current for the whole city.

D.C- Edison promoted D.C

A.C- Nikola Tesla's invention

So Edison didn't want people to think high of A.C. So he started to say A.C. is very dangerous and it can kill people. That's how electric chair came into existence. He used animals to explain the concept( killed them of course !!! ) and the judiciary system used his electric chair to electrocute a man who was given death sentence.

The first man was electrocuted using electric chair was William Kemmler on august 6th, 1980. Later the process was nicknamed " Westing-housed"( The name because George Westinghouse promoted A.C. along with Tesla ).

Then there was a bid that was proposed to lighten up " The Chicago World's first Electric fair " by hundred thousand incandescent lamps. Edison proposed doing it with D.C and bid a budget of one million dollar. Tesla proposed doing it with more efficient, cost effective A.C. and bid half a million dollar.

The Columbian exposition ( The fair also celebrated 400 Th anniversary of Columbus discovering america and hence the name ) started on may 1st , 1983. Tesla proved his point by illuminating fairground's neo-classical buildings. It was termed as "city of light".27 million people who attended the fair came to a conclusion that A.C would be the future power.

But Edison didn't give up. Scientists never do and then a terrible thing happened.

The next big thing that most publicized during the war of currents was the killing of a 10 foot, 6 ton Indian elephant that killed three of its protectors at a zoo of Coney Island.

The name of the elephant was Topsy and the incident happened on January 4th , 1903. Edison even recorded it for future people to see.You can see it in you tube but i warn you that it was cruel.

Edison wanted to prove his point and they wanted to get rid of an elephant that killed people. So Edison illegally purchased two of Tesla's A.C generators. Topsy was given cyanide laced carrots in case something goes wrong but slamming 6600 V across her body did the job well. She passed away in less than a sec.

Well hearing true stories about the people who inspired you is not a pleasant experience. But to know that a brilliant man's ego can cause more problems is worth sharing.

P.S:

There are lot of stories about the victories to Tesla during the war of currents. If u need to know about life and legacy of Tesla. check the link below....

He was a fascinating human being....
