UFO – Where to find them??

/ Guttu / 2 Comments

Science fiction writers so far have created numerous creatures and characters. Aliens are the prime subject when you say science fiction. So these characters are very interesting and almost everyone is attracted towards them. They are highly advanced creatures with state of art technology which is way ahead of ours. An these aliens travel within a spacecraft. I always wonder why they are mostly saucer shaped?

These spacecrafts often fly in our atmosphere. Aliens travel to Earth anonymously. These are the beliefs of many scientists and many of the fiction lovers. Everyday there is a news about UFO somewhere on this planet. UFO or the Unidentified Flying Objects. For the army of navy UFO may be an enemy plane. But for us it is a spacecraft.

It is interesting to read about such UFO’s. Is there any place where I can read about them? While searching I found this site which gathers feeds from all around the world about UFO. This site is UFO Seek. With a short synopsis and the link to the actual news this site provides plenty of UFO news. You can search through the old articles if you want. The front page displays only recent news related to UFO.

There is also news related to space. Here you find latest updates from the research centers which work on space like  NASA and ISRO. It is like one stop for all space related news.

Sunny one so true

While watching the movie CJ7, this song just sparked me up. This song plays in the end of the movie. The movie is good and you can watch it at least once. But this song is forever. I don’t know how I missed this song to copy to my favorites on hard disk. I quickly searched the 7000+ songs archive and found this along with “Rasputin”. These song remind me of my school days, especially the send off when these were played.

I played this song in media player for almost 15 times. Thirst for this song is still not over. It was midnight and I wanted to sing this song loudly. Those dogs might not like this so I controlled my urge. There is a contract between the dogs and peoples living in my area. You don’t disturb us, we don’t disturb you. So far it is going great and we are having silent nights.

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain.
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.
The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here,
My sunny one shines so sincere.
Sunny one so true, I love you.

I would like to replace “Sunny” by “Bloggy”. It’s the name I gave to my blog. Well I don’t have any pets. Bloggy has certainly affected me in positive manner. It’s nice to see, it’s nice to feel, peoples reading my blog and giving opinions. My life was filled with rain and this “Sunny” came in and I was able to see the Rainbow. That has added some more colors to my life.

There is one question that always comes in front of me and I cannot answer him. He just laughs and goes away only to come again. Why the old songs are close to our hearts rather than the new ones? Is it because old is gold? Is it because of lyrics? Some of the today’s songs also have good lyrics but they never replace the old ones. Is there any song that can replace “Summer of 69”? Nope. I think it’s better I stop searching for the answer. When it comes again I’ll just point him towards you.

Till it finds you keep singing..
Sunny one so true….
I love you….

In the “And” it doesn’t even matter

When you are learning language, pay attention to grammar. Those were the words of my English teacher. No guesses for what I did. I ignored and here I stand before you with my poor grammar skills. I knew this when I started this blog and I thought I’ll improve. I have improved to some extent. That’s enough. Now about the “And”.  Sorry for ruining the lyrics of that rocking track by Linkin Park. That tops my favorites list.

What to do? I couldn’t think of any better title. This “And” became my topic when I was having conversation on twitter. One tweet appeared on my twitter homepage.

“If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you need to count to find the first letter A?”

I knew the answer and I replied “thousand”. And one twitter replied with “one hundred and one”. Now comes the confusion. Which one is correct? I knew it was “thousand” but the one who asked the question got confused. Moral is “Having bad grammar helps you to stay away from confusion”.

Improper grammar leads to funny incidents also. It can be embarrassing if you don’t take things lightly. (I am very serious kind of person. Don’t make fun of me.) Take this candidate’s application :

“This has reference to your advertisement calling for a ‘typist and an accountant – Male or Female’. As I am both for the past several years and I can handle both, I am applying for the post.”

When I was in college, there was a legendary workshop supervisor. His English was very bad. In the first workshop class he said “Machine the on”. It took all the courage and effort in the world to stop myself from laughing. I’ll never forget this incidence.

This post is just for fun and not at all to show my hate or love towards English. It will be always the language which is my mother tongue. I just took this as a challenge to write a post from a simple ignorable tweet. Oh!! And to clarify all the doubts about the riddle. In the end the “And” doesn’t matter.

I cannot say “Till my next grammatical mistake”. It will be in the next post itself. So I’ll say,

Till English is a funny language…

Think Nonsense…

Lecture by a fool

Yesterday I was offline for most of the day. If you follow me on twitter then you must be knowing that. And if you are regular reader of my blog then you know how much religious I am. Actually it’s the whole family. When you stay in such a family, you are easily attracted towards the rituals and religious things done. That’s a good thing.

So yesterday was another religious ceremony. Like always, I had to be there and I was there for the whole day. You feel nice when you attend such things and I cannot miss that peaceful feeling. With me, my family and cousins also attended this ceremony. As always we had a chat and fun during the free time. This time it was a different talk from my side.

As most educated(educated only followed by a period) person in my whole family, They consider me as an idol. This happens with most of us. We keep someone as an idol and mostly it’s our elder brother or cousin. Unlike me, they have not done well in their studies. I used to give them advice and help whenever required but no effect. After being quiet for so many years I finally broke the silence.

I never considered myself someone whom you can consider as an idol. Though I want to be one. I tried and I am still trying. I told them all the things which I always wanted to speak up but I never did and never got such a chance. They all are intelligent and could have done better. They are into such a fields which they don’t deserve. Their intelligence is of higher level studies. I told them this and some advice which I cannot predict whether they will follow or not. The only good thing, apart from breaking the silence, was I could see that they realized their mistakes from their eyes.(Look into my eyes. I can read you)

They even said they’ll try to do better and think on all the things I said. A sigh of relief for me. After talking all this I realized I just gave a lecture. Yes, that is what I used to call such an advice given by my parents and all others. My stubbornness is what made me to reach this stage of my life. I only hope that this lecture by a fool turn them into wonderful person.

Till the next lecture by this fool…
