DEVIL'S TRIANGLE - A MOST LOVED MYSTERY BENEATH THE SEA

In olden days Voyages seem to be very dangerous one. They are mostly dependent on sails and air direction. Moreover the threats by pirates are very significant.

But as days passed, new technologoes have been introduced. Barometers for prediction of hurricanes, latest engines which relieves from depending on air direction, wireless technology to support during dangers and disasters etc etc.

But we cannot say these improvements stopped the incidents in and around the triangle.

An important point is no debris and remains of ships and aircrafts are found. Why? How?

One different incident: An American submarine Scorpion sunk in the triangle sea. Days after when another submarine searched the debris was found. This made people to conclude whatever happens in the triangle is just a coincidence. But some other people raised several  questions.

What made such a stronger submarine to sunk in the triangle? Even 1 out 99 is not alive from it. Why?

There are several incidents which attracted the attention of the world. It is not that all ships and aircrafts crossing Bermuda triangle got into accident. But accidents are most known to the world.

There are two groups of people. One group supporting the existence of a mysterious force but another group is not ready to accept it.

In 1975, Lawrence David Kuschche wrote a book named 'The Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved'. But most people did not accept the arguments in the book and it has failed ultimately.

Let us see some assumptions of Bermuda Triangle.

Usually there are different types of current at different sea levels The different sea currents makes the ships to

sink. But no explanation is given for the airplane disasters.

Bombs under the sea:

Some war ships meet with accidents and sink into the sea. The powerful bombs in the warships shall explode due to pressure of the sea currents.The ships sink due to explosions of the warships.

Volcanoes:

The volcanoes under the sea erupt at times. The eruptions shall trigger 200 meter high waves makes ships to sink.

What explanations can be given for airplanes?

There are several maelstorms in the clouds. When the planes cross the maelstorms, like hitting a giant rock the planes will get into the accident. This type of storm maelstorms occur more in the clouds of Bermuda Triangle.

In a book 'Cataclysms of the Earth', there are many electromagnetis forces circulating the earth atmosphere. The electromagnetic forces can be one cause of disappearence of ships anf airplanes.

Most of all the most acceptable reasons that can be cited are human errors and weather conditions.

The incidents does not signify that all the aircrafts and cruise vessels are getting sunk. But at the same time there is no guarantee that all the ships and aircrafts get out of there safely.

What is this? In the present trend of advanced technology what makes people to struggle to find the cause of the incidents. Why today's advancement is unable to stop them?

In the year 1972 a L-1011 type aircraft named Hock Leed disppeared with 100 passengers near Bermuda. Unlike earlier planes, this is highly advanced plane with all types of latest equipments. But it did not help from the disaster it faced.

The planes and ships are hence reaching the destinations not by crossing and only by circumnavigating the triangle.

All the incidents mentioned till are just about vanishing of total ship, boat and airplane.

In the year 1840 a cruise vessel Rosaile sailed towards Hawana. The difference from earlier incidents is that the ship remained as it is but the people inside disappeared. All the goods, cargo, passengers' belongings was present but not even single living being found.

In the year 1855 Chester faced the same fate as Rosaile. The life boats were in the same place without being disturbed but none of living being found.

In the year 1872 Mary Celeste was found without a single human being. It has enough food supplies and life boats. But no one knew what happened to all travellers.

In the year 1881 Ellen Austin remained alone without a single damage. But no living being found in it.

Similar incidents occured for

Carol Deering in 1921

John and Mary in 1937

Gloria Colite in 1940

Rubicon in 1944. This time one pet Dog was found in a starving condition in it. No life boat was found. The assumption that passengers have used to escape failed as no records indicate their return to their respective homes.

What has happened to all the people?

The answer is 'blah blah blah'...............

A MYSTERIOUS LIGHT:

A significant point in the above incidents is some of the crew members of the victim ships, planes (beforing disappearing) and some other wandering planes have confirmed a presence of a mysterious giant ball of light.

Whenever a disaster has occured the last update given by the crew members are 'Sky is clear and cool. Weather is fine'

After sometime they were not able to see anything. Their compasses malfunction and they are engulfed in a mysterious smoke. Then the contact with base station is totally cut and disappear from RADAR once for all. The above things are common in most of the disasters.

Is there any connection between the light and triangle?

Devil's Triangle - A most loved mystery beneath the sea

Coutesy : - ஆழ்கடலில் ஆவி ராஜ்ஜியம்  - (A Devil's Kingdom under the Sea) By Vikkravaandi Ravichandran

BERMUDA TRIANGLE - A triangle situated near Bermuda island in the Atlantic Ocean. 

What is the significance of this region?

For many centuries the ships, boats, aeroplanes whatsver may be had disappeared for NO REASON. The vanished people have never been found till date.

This Triangle remains an ambiguity to this world till date.

The incidents in and around this region has been prevailing even before the period of Christopher Columbus. But the incidents began known to the world during late 1800s. But the first recorded incident was in the year 1945, December 5.

Some myths :

• Weather satellites at a height of 800 miles from Earth's atmosphere ceases to function while crossing this area.
• Time stops when any ship enter the triangle. No time is passed and No fuel is used.
• Sea water rises like a giant cauli flower ball with a bright light.
• It is the contact point between Earth and aliens. The people vanished in this region have been absorbed by UFOs and kidnapped to their planets.

Science believes existence of a storm permanent but less fierce hurricanes blows which accidents all the ships and aeroplanes. 

SOME PRACTICAL POSSIBILITIES:

Something makes the ships and aircrafts to vanish. What is that 'SOMETHING'?

1. Scientists are analysing some possibilities of Maelstorms. This may be the reason no dead bodies and debris of the broken ships are found. But what is the explanation do the disappeared Aeroplanes have got? Maelstorm can suck only the aquatic vehicles. Which maelstorm in this universe can suck aerial vehicles at an height of some ten thousands of feet.
2. Sometimes major earthquakes which occurs below the sea have chances of rising the waves at an height of 1000 meters. Some such waves would have attacked the low flying aeroplanes passed by the area.

         If such incident would have happened atleast broken ship and broken airplane remains should be floating in the water.The rescue team could neither find the remains nor (to the surprise) find the bodies of dead people. Where did they all gone?

    3.  A strong magnetic force prevails in and around the triangle. The magnetic field is very strong that it can attract giant ships and aeroplanes travelling at a very high speed.

To verify this possibility, a boat fully made of plastic even without the trace of metals was floated in the sea in the during 1970s. 

Negative . The Plastic boat sunk into the sea.

We will not believe any assumptions. We will prove the fact for sure. In the year 1982, Russian scientists chellenged the world and set sail in a ship 'VIDYAS'. The crew discovered fresh water in the middle of the ocean.

How is it possible of fresh water existence amidst salt water?

The crew experienced several difficulties. The baromater malfunctioned during a cyclone. But alarmed when the sea was calm and quiet. For no reasons crew membvers suffered with multiple disorders. After six days and seven nights crew returned and concluded a possible existence of permanent mild hurricane.

INCIDENTS

Incident 1:

In a day of December 1945, five training airplanes with pilots took off at 2 p.m. from military base 'Lauderdale' under the captainship of Chris Taylor. He has 2500 hours of flying experience. Each plane got fuel of 1000 miles flight.

Neither the planes nor the crew were ever seen again. 

MARTIN MARINER is the name of the rescue flight took off immediately for search operations. It vanished from Radar few minutes after its flight over the triangle. 

The next historic search operation was triggered with 240 planes and 18 ships for 4100 hours covering an area of 380000 square miles. Neither the debris nor the dead body was found. The case was closed as with aircrash as cause ultimately. 

Incident 2:

In a day of July 1947, C-54 plane with six member American crew vanished at 100 miles from Bermuda.

Neither debris nor dead bodies found till date.

Incident 4:

In January 1948, a British passenger flight 'STAR TIGER' with 25 passengers and 6 crew members. It did not reach its destination. 12 days before another British plane 'STAR ARIEL'  re-filled the fuel snd set off for flight at 7.45 AM. Captain Mcphee informed weather was fine and cool. This was last update from the 'Star Ariel'.

One week before the disappearence of Star Ariel, a rescue flight DC-3 flight completed its searching of lost Charterd flight over the triangle. The last message came at 4.13 am. It was never seen again.

Neither debris nor dead bodies found till date.

Other vanishes:

In the year 1950 - a flight towards Ireland from America

In the year 1952 - a Freight flight with 33 member crew vanished at Norh corner.

In the year 1954 - a military flight with 44 soldiers vanished during its flight towards Maryland

In the year 1962 - a KB-50 Tanker flight from Virginia vanished on its way in Bermuda.

In the year 1963 - two 4 engined KC-35 flights vanished at South West of Bermuda.

In the year 1965 - a C-119 flight named ' Flying Box car' vanished near Bahamas

From the year 1945 to 1965 more than 15 planes disappeared in and around Bermuda.

FIRST RECORDED INCIDENT:

In 1800, an American vessel 'Insurgent' with 340 passengers was never seen again.

In 1814, WASP disappeared with 140 passengers.

In 1824, WILD CAT on its journey towards Thompson Island didn't make to destination.

The mystery of  British vessel  'Atalanda' with 290 passengers in Bermuda still remains unsolved.

In the year 1951, a war ship Sau Paulo set off to its journey from Azores base in Brazil. Early morning at 4 am the ship as well as supporting motor boats disappeared without any sign. Neither the Ship nor the boats did not sunk anywhere.

During investgation pilots who wandered around the area revealed that they saw a mysterious light ball. But no reason found for the Sau Paulo missing case.

Aeroplane - The Evolution of Man's dream to fly

TAMIL VERSION

Flying Machine - A milestone in Man's Invention.

There is a reason for evolution of all living organisms. For some particular reason birds and insects alone have been given ability to fly. But man did not care about them. Instead he succeeded in his flying missions.

By flying, he not only attained his flying mission but also crossed the atmospheric borders and got away outside the Earth.

What is the evolution of Man's intention to fly? What makes man to fly?

The desire to fly has started before 400 BC. Aryabhatta has given many theories and hypothesis for flying machines. The first flying object was Kite. The flying of kites has started to make the man think about flying. Chinese fly kites in every auspicious ceremonies. Kites are the fore runner of the Gliders and Balloons.

Many people have fixed wooden wings and tried to fly but ended up in diasaters. But this incidents did not make him back-off from flying.

In 1485 AD, Leonardo Davinci created drawings of flying machines. But none of them got into real life. He created a drawing of a flying machine called 'Omnihopter'.

Many of present helicopters have concepts of this Omnihopter.

Next evolution is in 1783 AD created by Joseph Michele and Jacques Etinne Mongolfier created balloons. They filled hot air in silk bags and created a thrust which made the balloons fly. Sheep, Roosters and Ducks are placed in the balloons and made to fly. In 1783 first manned flight was also demonstrated.

In 18th and 19th centuries, Gliders are designed. Otto Lilenthel and John Caley designed their gliders. These are succeeded by the Airplanes.

In December 17, 1903, Olivar and Wilbur Wright invented the KittyHawk flying machine. Olivar Wright first piloted the aeroplane which is 12 horse power and 600 pound weight.

Now man has learned to fly.

There are four aspects in a flying machine design. They are:

Aerodynamics
Propulsion
Materials and Structures
Stability and control

Design of Airplane:

An Airplane consists of following parts

1. Fuelsage
2. Wings
3. Tail
4. Rudder
5. Engines
6. Landing Gear

• Fuelsage constitutes major portion of airplane body. It contains many control equipments and passengers seats.
• Wings help in take-off and landing of the aeroplane. Based upon the air acceleration, the speed while take-off and landing are calculated.
• Tail contributes to the direction of the aircraft. It has control to change the direction of the airplane.
• Engine contains power which controls an airplane. Based on the engine the airplanes are classfied as Propellar, Jet, Turbo Jet, Rocket etc.
• Landing Gear helps in landing the airplane. It bears the weight of the aircraft while landing and absorbing the shock during landing.

1. When an Aircraft crashes the Black Box does not get damaged. Then why the whole airplane is not designed using the material used for Black Box?

A Black Box is a container which holds the recorder. Though it is called black box, the color of the box is yellow color. All the commands and incidents right from take-off to landing will be recorded in the Black Box. So when an airplane crashes, the cause of the accident will be known and the future diasaters can be avoided.

Generally the body of the airplane will be constructed using aluminium 95% nick alloy 5%. The aluminium which is a light weight metal helps for the flight of the aircraft. The thumb rule is that, the weight of the airplane should be less while landing than it was during the take-off. So if an aircraft does not reduce to required weight during landing the fuel is shed in the mid-air.

Black box is made of steel alloy which not only a costlier but also heavier one. So, if any airplane is constructed using steel,  the weight of the aircraft will not let the flight to take off from the ground. Even if we think of constructing small planes using this, the total number of passengers travelling in a small plane does not make it worth to spend that much amount and build a aircraft with it.

2. Mercury thermometer is not encouraged inside airplane - Why?

Mercury has a strong oxide which can swallw aluminum. So if accidently the thermometer is broken inside the aircraft, the aluminium will be damanged endangering the safety of the craft.

3. Some reasons for turbulence.

Sometimes a passenger shall feel the downward bump of an aircraft. Actually both upward and downward motion occurs during flight. But downward is mostly felt. This is called Turbulence.

Main reason for turbulence is Mountain waves, change of wind current. There are several magnitudes of wind current. When a plane transits from one current to another, the turbulence is felt.

ஆகாய விமானம் - மனிதனின் மகத்தான சாதனைகளின் மைல் கல்.

கடவுளின் ஒவ்வொரு படைப்பிலும்  ஒரு அர்த்தம் உண்டு. பறவைகளுக்கும் பூச்சிகளுக்கும் மட்டுமே பறக்கும் சக்தியை கடவுள் தந்த காரணம் கடவுளுக்கே வெளிச்சம். ஆனால் கடவுள் அந்த சக்தியை தரவில்லை என்பதற்காக வருத்தாமல் பறவைகளால் அடையமுடியாத எல்லைகளுக்கெல்லாம் பறக்க முடிந்தது மனிதனால்.

பறப்பது மட்டுமல்ல புவியை தாண்டி செல்லவும் மனிதன் கற்றுக்கொண்டு விட்டான். எவ்வளவு பெரிய சிறப்பு.

அது சரி. மனிதன் பறக்க ஆரம்பித்த வரலாறு என்ன? மனிதனை பறக்க தூண்டியது எது? பறக்க வண்டிய அவசியம் ஏன் ஏற்பட்டது. ?

பல நூற்றாண்டு  காலமாகவே மனிதன் பறக்க நினைத்தாலும் மனிதன் அதற்கான முழு முயற்சியில் இறங்கியது கி.மு 400 இல்.

நமது இந்திய கணித வியலாளரான ஆர்யபட்டர் தனது நூல்களில் பறக்கும் பொருகள் பற்றிய கற்பனை வடிவங்களையும்  நுட்பங்களையும் அளித்துள்ளார்.

மாலை நேரத்தில் சிறுவர்கள் வானில் பட்டம் விடும் வழக்கமே மனிதன் பறக்க நினைத்ததற்கு முதல் படியாக இருந்தது. சீனர்கள் பட்டம் பறக்க விடுவதை ஒரு புனித சடங்காகவே பின்பற்றினார்கள். அந்த பட்டங்கள் வானில் பறக்க விடப்படும் பலூன் மற்றும் க்ளைடர் விமானங்களின் முன்னோர்கள்.

பிறகு மனிதன் பறக்கும் முயற்சியில் பறவைகளைப்போல் மரத்தாலான சிறகுகளை பொருத்திக்கொண்டு பறக்க முயற்சித்து மண்டையை உடைத்து கொண்டது தனி விஷயம்.

ஆனால் இந்த தோல்விகள் மனிதனை பின்னைடைய செய்யவில்லை.

கி.பி. 1485 இல் லியானர்டோ டா வின்சி ஆர்நிதொப்ட்டர் (Ornithopter) என்னும் கற்பனை பறக்கும் இயந்திரத்தை வரைந்தார்.

நூற்றுக்கும் மேற்ப்பட்ட பறக்கும் நுட்பங்களை அவர் வரைந்தாலும் எதுவும் இயந்திர வடிவம் பெறவில்லை. ஆனால் இன்றைய ஹெலிகாப்ட்டர் விமானங்கள் இந்த ஆர்நிதொப்ட்டர்  நுட்பத்தை பெற்றிருகிறது என்று சொல்லபடுகிறது.

அடுத்த கட்ட பறக்கும் முயற்சி 1783 இல் சூடான காற்றடைத்த பலூன்களில் அரங்கேறியது. ஜோசப் மைக்கேல் மற்றும் ஜாக்வேஸ் எடின்னே மொங்கோல்பியர் சகோரதர்கள் பலூன்களில் சூடான கற்றை அடைத்து அதை பட்டு பைகளில் திணித்தார்கள். ஆடு, கோழி மற்றும் வாத்துகளே உலகின் முதல் பறக்கும் இயந்திர பயணிகள். இந்த பலூன்கள்  6000 அடிக்கு மேல் அவைகளை பறக்க செய்தது.

முதல் மனிதபயணிகள்  அதே  1783 இல் பலூனில் பறந்தார்கள்.

18 மற்றும் 19 நூற்றாண்டுகளில் க்ளைடர் விமானங்கள் வடிவமைக்கப்பட்டன. ஜார்ஜ் கயலே மற்றும் ஓட்டோ லிலிந்தால் தத்தம் கலைதேர் விமானகளை உருவாக்கி சோதித்து பார்த்தார்கள். இவையே ஏறோப்ளன்களுக்கு  முன்னோடியாம்.

1903 ஆம் ஆண்டு ஒலிவர் மற்றும் வில்பர் ரைட் சகோதரர்கள் கிட்டி ஹாக் (KittyHawk) விமானத்தை வானில் பறக்க விட்டார்கள். 12 குதிரை சக்தியும் 600 பவுண்ட் எடையும் கொண்ட அதை ஒலிவர் ரைட் இயக்கி ஓட்டினார்.

அவரை உலகின் முதல் விமான ஒட்டிஎன்று  சொன்னாலும்  மிகையில்லை.  

இப்பொழுது மனிதன் பறக்க தொடங்கி விட்டான்.

ஒரு விமான உருவாக்கத்தில் முக்கிய பங்கு வகிப்பது நான்கு  விஷயங்கள்:

Aerodynamics என்னும் காற்று இயக்கம் சார்ந்த அறிவியல் ஆய்வு : இந்த அறிவே விமானத்தின் உருவத்தையும்  அதன் பறக்கும் தன்மையையும் நிர்ணயிக்கும்.

Propulsion என்னும் முன்னோக்கி தள்ளும் வழிமுறை: இது விமான என்ஜின் இயந்திரத்தை இயக்கி அதற்கான் தள்ளு சக்தியை அளித்து விமானம் பறக்கவோ அல்லது தரை இறங்கவோ வழி வகுக்கிறது.

Materials and Structures: அதாவது விமானம் உருவாக தேவையான பொருள்கள் மற்றும் அதன் உருவம். இது விமானம் பறக்கத் தேவையான வஸ்துகள் மற்றும் எந்த விகிதத்தில் எந்த பொருள்களை சேர்க்க வேண்டும் ஆகியன முடிவு செய்வது.

Stability and control: இது விமான ஸ்திர மற்றும் கட்டுபாடுகள் பற்றியான. விமான இயங்க தேவையான காற்றழுத்தம் , உயரம் , திசை, வானிலை ஆகியவை கொண்டது. இதை பொறுத்து விமானி  எந்தெந்த உபகரணங்களை கொண்டு இயக்க வேண்டும் என்பனவாகும்.

விமான உருவம் பற்றி:

ஒரு விமானத்தின் முக்கிய பகுதிகள் ஆறு . அவை:

1. விமான எரிபொருள் டாங் . Fuel tank

2. சிறகுகள்                                         Wings

3. வால் பகுதி                                    Tail

4. சுக்கான்                                            Rudder

5. என்ஜின்கள்                                    Engines

6. தரை இறக்கு சக்கரம்                 Landing Gears

எரிபொருள் டாங்கிகளே விமானத்தின் கணிசமான பகுதியாகும். இதில்தான் பல கட்டுப்பாடு மையங்கள் மற்றும் பயணிகளின் இருக்கைகள் அமைந்திருக்கும்.

சிறகுகள் விமான பறக்க மற்றும் தரை இறங்க உதவி புரியும். கற்று ஐக்கும் திசையில் இந்த சிறகுகள் விமான பறக்க வல்ல செய்யபட்டிரிகிறது. இது விமானத்தின் தரை இரங்கும் வேகம் மற்றும் மேலெழும்பும் வேகம் ஆகியன காற்றை வைத்து முடிவுசெய்யப்படுகிறது.

வால் பகுதியில் திசை மாற தேவையான கட்டுப்பாடு அமைந்திருக்கிறது.  

என்ஜின் இயந்திரங்களில் எரிபொருள் நிரப்பட்டு அது சக்தியாக மாறி  விமானம் இயங்க தேவையான சக்தியை அளிக்கிறது. என்ஜினை  வைத்து விமானம் ஜெட், ப்ரோ பல்லர் , டர்போ ஜெட் , ராகட் என பகுக்கபடுகிறது    .

தரையரங்கு சக்கரம் விமான தரை இறங்கும் பொது அதன் இடையை தாங்கி தரை இறங்கு அதிர்ச்சிகளை விழுங்கிக்கொள்கிறது

சில தகவல்கள்:

1 ஒரு விமானம் நொறுங்கினால் விமானத்தின் கருப்பு பெட்டி நாசமாவதில்லை. அப்போது ஏன் முழு விமானமும் கருப்பு பெட்டியால் செய்யப்படும் உலோகத்தில் செய்யபடுவதில்லை?

Black Box எனப்படும் கருப்பு பெட்டி உண்மையில் கருப்பு நிறமல்ல. அவை மஞ்சளாக இருக்கும். கருப்பு பெட்டியில் ஒரு விமானத்தின் ஒட்டு மொத்த கட்டளைகள், சம்பவங்கள் எல்லாம் பதிவாகும். இவை எதிர் கால விபத்துகள் நடக்காமல் எச்சரிக்கையாக இருக்க உதவும்.

பொதுவாக எந்த ஒரு விமானமும் பறக்க அதன்  எடை குறைவாக இருக்க வேண்டிய அவசியமுள்ளது. அதனாலேயே அது அலுமினியம் உலோகத்தினால் கட்டபடுகிறது. ஒரு விமானம் மேலெழும்பும் பொது இருக்கும் இடையை விட தரை இரங்கும் பொது வேண்டிய எடை குறைவாகவே  இருக்க வேண்டும்.  இதனாலேயே எரிபொருள் கூட எடையை சேர்த்தால் அவை வானில் கொட்டப்பட்டு விடும்.

கருப்பு பெட்டி செய்யப்படும் உலோகம் கனமானதாகும். எனவே கனமான உலோகத்தினை கொண்டு விமானம் வடிவமைக்க இயலாது. கருப்பு பெட்டி உருக்கு இரும்பால் (steel alloy) செய்யபடுகிறது.

மேலும் உருக்கு இரும்பு மிகவும் விலை அதிகமானது. கட்டுபடியாகாது.

2  விமானத்தில் பாதரச உஷ்ணமானி பொதுவாக அனுமதிக்க படுவதில்லை. ஏன்?

பாதரசம் அலுமினிய உலோகத்தில் சேரும் பொது அலுமினியம் மிகவும் பாதிப்படையும். தவறுதலாக உஷ்ணமானி உடைந்து  விட்டால் விமான உட்பகுதியில் மிகவும் சேதத்தை ஏற்படித்தி விடும்.

3. காற்று கொந்தளிப்பு காரணங்கள் யாவை?

சில நேரங்களில் விமானம் கீழிறங்கி பறப்பது போல் இருக்கும். ஒரு வேளை விமானம் விபத்தாகுமோ என்று அஞ்சுவோரும் உண்டு. உண்மையில் அது  Turbulence என்னும் காற்று கொந்தளிப்பு.

உண்மையில் விமானம் மேலும் கீழும் இறங்கி ஏறி செல்கிறது. ஆனால் இறங்குவதே பெரும்பாலும் உணரபடுகிறது. கொந்தளிப்பு காற்றோட்டங்கள்  அவ்வபோது மாறுபடுகிறது. இந்த மாற்றங்கள் காற்று கொந்தளிப்பு ஏற்படுத்தி விமானத்தை ஆட செய்கிறது.

Follow the below statement:

Katyayana says that the rope stretched along the length of the diagonal of a rectangle makes an area which the vertical and horizontal sides makes together.

It was only actaully re-defined by Pythagorus. (What an injustice to Indian Science!)

In the field of Trignometry, Aryabhata contributed much before Europeans.

Indians used 'jya' and 'kotijya' which later one became to be known as cosine in European languages.
Aryabhata first composed 'Jya kostaka'.

Jya      - Sine

Kojya  - Cosine

Utkramajya - (1 -Cos x)

With this trignometery Indian mathematicians developed astonomy and geometry.

Jya is Chord of circle

chappa - arc of a circle

vyasrdha - radius of a circle

Brahmagupta, Bhaskara, famous Jain Mahavira, Paramaswara, Sridhara are famous vedic mathematicians.

Aryabhatta in 499 AD worked the value of Pi to the fourth decimal place as 3.1416. Centuries later, in 825 AD, Arab mathematician Mohammed Ibna Musa says that "This value has been given by the Hindus (Indians)".

Europeans again got the credit.

In the field of Physics

The earliest recorded use of copperware in India has been around 3000 B.C.

"The Hindus excel in the manufacture of iron. They have also workshops wherein are forged the most famous sabres in the world. It is impossible to find anything to surpass the edge that you get from Indian Steel"

Shankaramishra had propounded fundamental principles of Magnetism.He tells about how and why a metal pin is attracted towards a magnet.

Bhoja(1050AD) had ordered that ships should not have metals at the bottom which he thought that the magnetic part that exists in the rocks of the sea may draw ships towards them and cause ship wreck.
Compass which were used by sea voyager Hindus were called Matsyayantra.

Ancient Indian Epics Mahabharata and Ramayana have references of Atomic and Nuclear weapons.

Not only above but also Indian scientists have contributed many concepts much before Europeans, Americans, Greek, Egyptians but the Mughals, British invasaion had destroyed our trade mark in the world.

Next time if any foreigner or an India espcially an NRI asks you what is in India except beggars and garbage
qoute all the points and make them realise India is only the root of many present science.

For those who amaze at the discoveries of Westerners, for those are dependent on the western products for the life style ,here you go:

Today there are vast amount of inventions and discoveries in science and technology by lots of scientists. Lots and lots of sateliites transmits signals to and from earth. Giant telescopes large distant zooms celestial objects to a breat extent. But there was a time period where the words 'Satellites' ,'Telescopes' were not in use and not known to people. But it did not stop them to contribute to science

The distance between sun and the earth is approximately 15 crore kms (In Indian system). The time taken for sunlight to travel to earth is measured as 186000 miles with latest telescopes

But for our ancestors:

'I bow to the sun, who travels 2,202 yojanas in half a nimesha' (mentioned in sanksrit)

This is mentioned in Rig veda. Be ready with your calculators

A yojana is about nine American miles; a nimesha is 16/75 of a second. Mathematically challenged readers, get out your calculators!2,202 yojanas x 9 miles x 75 - 8 nimeshas = 185,794 m.p.s

One of the most popular mathematical theorems, the theorem which even a school kid can tell instantly is 'Pythagorus Theorem'

Square on the hypotenuse is equal to sum of the squares on other two sides'

The magical sentence given by Greek scientist Pythagorus to this world. Can you believe an equivalent theorem is already found in our ancinet books 'Shatpatha Brahmana' and 'Sulba Sutra'

We punish our kids who get zero their subjects. That famous zero without which mathematics is incomplete is given by Indians. We can share the pride with Egyptians.

In Book :Taittiriya Samhita of the Black Yajurveda.

Many significant scientific discoveries had been already mentioned in Vedas.

The most horrifying and threatening word 'Atom' is present even before 600BC as 'Paramanu' and Relativity concept as 'Sapekshavada'

Law of Gravity - Pride goes to Sir Issc Newton. But 1200 years before his discovery, Indian Scientist Bhaskarachariya in his book 'Suriya Sidhantha' has explained gravity as

Objects fall on earth due to a force of attraction by the earth. therefore, the earth, the planets, constellations, the moon and the sun are held in orbit due to this attraction".

Newton has just made a 'REDISCOVERY'

Einstien's opinion about our Indian science

"We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made." - Albert Einstein.

In the field of Medicine, our scienctists contributions are remarkable

The concept of Plastic surgery is first introduced by India and credit goes to Susrutha.

Inventing over 125 surgical instruments , around 300 operations and 42 surgical processes he created a new dimension to surgical world.

He classifies Plastic Surgery in 8 categories

Aharyam = extracting solid bodies
Bhedyam = excision
Chhedyam = incision
Aeshyam = probing
Lekhyam = scarification
Vedhyam = puncturing
Visraavyam = evacuating fluids
Sivyam = suturing

All these 2600 years before. And that is why he is called 'Father of Plastic Surgery'

The medical world points Indian Surgery methods as:

"The Hindus (Indians) were so advanced in surgery that their instruments could cut a hair longitudinally"

"The surgery of the ancient Indian physicians was bold and skilful. A special branch of surgery was devoted to rhinoplasty or operations for improving deformed ears, noses and forming new ones, which European surgeons have now borrowed".-Sir W.Hunter (British Surgeon, 1718-1783)

Before the inventions of Airplanes by Wright Brothers i.e. 600 BC , Saint Bharadwaaj contributed his knowledge in 'Aviation Engineering'. Many of today's technology in Aviation technology inspires his knowledges and theories.

His creativity for flying machines started well before Leonardo Da Vinci.

Before the birth of Jesus Chirst Indian Doctors gave uncountable solutions in fieds such as Anatomy, Physiology, Blood circulation, embryology, heart etc.When Europeans were not even aware of TB, Diabetes our scientists have wrote cures and treatments for them in Ayurveda medicine.

Unfortunately they have been uncredited and not been known even by Indians.

10th Death Anniversay of 9/11 victims - A small prayer and tribute

.It is ten years since the attack of WTC, Pentagon swallowing more than 3000 lives. I can still remember that day when I saw a plane crashing one of the twin buildings around 8 pm news in Pothigai Channel. It was horrible to see a live attack. No matter whatever country those dead belong to, they are some lives.

Like any day they went to the office to work. But they would have not thought that they will not return home alive forever. Like any other day people boarded on flights hoping that they will reach the destination and meet their loved ones. But they did not make it. They died for a revenge to which they were not connected. They died for a single man's ego and arrogance. They died because of the negligence of the government they belong to. They died because they were living in great UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

US government got several warnings about the attack right before 2 to 3 years but they did not care. Because they knew everything. They are the God of the World. US knows only to spy other country and interfere in other country's affairs even without any invitation but not to protect their subjects. I do not understand for what CIA people were paid and are paid.

A small background of CIA and FBI's ignorance:

Incident 1:
Group of people from Afganisthan had landed to US to learn to fly airplanes. Worst scenario many of them were abandoned that is, they were not allowed to enter US soil for the crimes they committed. US Immigration didn't catch them. But they know to detain Sharukh Khan in airport for hours just becoz he is a 'Khan'.

Incident 2:
Many young stairs later who involved in attack were caught for violating traffic rules and their driving licenses were seized. But super dooper US cops did not note down their name.  those terrorists happily wandered in the country.

Incident 3:
Isrealian spy agency 'Mozad' foreseen the attacks and several times warned CIA and US government. A senior CIA secret agent quoted this during the post attack enquiry. CIA as usual thinking itself as Lords of this world ignored the warnings. But Mozad tried to warn them thro' French Spy agency which was also gone to bins of US government. For CIA, Mozad is just stupid local bandit group of Israel.

Incident 4:
CIA knows that International Terrorists Conference is going to happen and also the where abouts. It is where the attack of 9/11 was finalised. CIA and FBI was sleeping even that time.

US has a friendly relationship with Afghanisthan. That is why they let all Afghan terrorists (later identified) free. But only the Afghan born man (Osam Bin Laden)  did all these holy (JIHAD) actions.

Had that government got alerted in any onf these situations may be those 3000+ lives would have been saved. Or atleast number of casualities would have been decreased.

At this time I mourn for all who dead and those who are living but lost their lives, organs, future. We have to pay a special mourn to passengers of 4th plane 'Flight 93' who atleast did not let the plane to reach the target by sparing their lives.

Now only governments are waking up and destroying poisonous roots. Indian government is far worst. It did not learn lesson from 9/11 and let 26/11 to happen. Only after the the 26/11 attack Mumbai police got a bullet proof jacket. Mumbai police held only pistol type guns. But terrorists had all latest technology guns, weapons, bombs etc etc etc. Other type of negligence. But what US was able to do with having all high tech instruments. They also made their subjects to lose life. They were not able to control the incident.

No country is waking up and learning lessons. If we want to live we have protect ourselves.

I pray for the peace of the souls who were sent to the foot of God after 10 years of the incident.

A South-Indian Brahmin Wedding Ritual

Courtesy: SanathanaDharma.com

Many of my friends and colleagues are very interested to know about Brahmin wedding rituals. I present this article for them. Thanks to the website which helps to understand the meaning of these rituals to people.

These ceremonies are applicable mainly to South-Indian Brahmin community weddings only. Hardly (to my knowledge no)other community follow them. They have their own different set of rituals. But Mangalya Dharanam (tying Mangalya around Bride's neck by groom)is the common one as it is prime ceremony of the wedding. :-)

The thing which I like most in the Brahmin wedding is the bride's hairstyle
and Madisar costume. In Iyyengar wedding, a bride shall have a hairstyle of 'Aandal' (an Incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi - a lover/ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu in epic). To me it is most beautiful wedding dress in this world. Well all non-Iyyengar(including Iyer) brides are really missing that oppourtunity of being so beautiful. With a Naama (a striaght red line) in their forehead, Aandal haristyle and Madisar sarree, they will look so awesome.

SOUTH INDIAN BRAHMIN WEDDING

The Ritual of the Hindu Wedding too is each symbolic of beautiful and noble sentiments.

As you enter you see . . .

Full-grown plantain trees tied to both the gateposts – Eternal tree of evergreen plenty for endless generations!
Festoons overhead of mango leaves, and screw-pine petals that never fade!
Notes of the Nadaswaram, the South Indian Shehnai!
Kolam or Rangoli designs at the doorsteps – an artistic welcome!
At threshold of the hall, sprinklings of rosewater, offerings of flower, sandal batter, sugar candy!
THE EVENING PREVIOUS TO THE MARRIAGE DAY

USHERING-IN OF THE BRIDEGROOM

On the evening prior to the wedding day, the bridegroom is to be brought in a procession from a temple in a flower decorated car. He is escorted by the bride’s parents, and welcome at the marriage mandap, which is the bride’s abode. Nadaswaram band leads the way along the streets, the flower decorated car jam-packed with children.

This is a social function, called JANA VASAM in South India and BARAAT in North India.

Through such a parade, public approval is sought of the groom, chosen by the family.

After reaching the marriage hall, there is a formal ceremony of betrothal.

ON THE WEDDING DAY

THE PRELIMINARY INVOCATION

‘GANAPATI PUJA’
As in an inauguration of any function so also in a marriage – Ganapati, the God of Initiation is invoked, to keep away all impediments.

‘NANDI DEVATA PUJA’
There are several presiding deities – the Nandi Devatas. To propitiate them, a leaf-laden branch of the pipal tree is installed, and an ablution with milk is performed by five Sumangalis (housewife, with husband living). This puja is followed by a presentation of a dhothi, and a saree to the marrying couple.

‘NAVAGRAHA PUJA’
This is performed to propitiate the nine astral planets that rule over man’s destiny.

VRATHAM
The marriage ceremonies begin with the Vratham performed separately by the bride and the groom. For the bride, it means the tying of the KAPPU – the holy thread on her wrist which is meant to ward off all evil spirits. It symbolises a kind of the protective armour for the bride. For the groom, the various Gods – Indra, Soma, Chandra, Agni. From there on, the groom prepares himself for a new chapter in his life as a householder or Grihasta. The days of his bachelorhood or brahmacharya are now over and the acceptance of this is all what the Vratham is about.

‘KASI YATRA’
This a very important part of the ceremony. Immediately after his student-life, the young bachelor has two alternatives before him – Married life ( Grihasta ) or asceticism ( Sanyas ). Being by nature escapist, he prefers the ascetic life to the tribulations of married life. He therefore ‘makes his way’ to kasi (VARANASI), complete with slippers, umbrella, bamboo fan etc. On his way, the bride’s father intervenes and advises him of the superiority of married life to ascetic life. He also promises to give him his daughter as companion to face the challenge of life. The umbrella is to remain with groom, to remind him in the future, of this advice.the real tradition.

(However there are different view points on this aspect. Given below is an observation by Sri. Narayan of Malaysia :

During the wedding ceremony the groom is welcomed as Mahavishnu Svarupaya varahaya ie maha vishnu himself ( or the Siva the equivalent in the Adi Saiva tradition ) and the bride as Lakshmi. Thence , it is imperative he knows no sin, thence he needs to perform a yatra to kashi , submerge in Ganges and comes and does the wedding purified.

In the days of yore , when a man after education takes a yatra like this ( it takes up some months, sometimes a year on foot) , he gets to see the world , otherwise which he would not have been exposed to , thence from Brahmacharya , before moving to grahasta ashrama he come experienced and purified, disiplined ( goal oriented) and fit to take up the challenges of married life. And those days the groom would have been engaged ( nischya dartha) , and proceeds on this yatra and is welcomed back after the father in-law etc after coming back, with this words Maha Vishnu Svarupaya, and given the kanya dhana.

Samnyasa and Grathasta ashrama are both pillars of the society , which is still relevant and have positive contributions to society.This has to be clearly understood.

Narayan, Malaysia )


‘VAAKU NICHAYA MUHOORTHAM’
At the marriage hall, the bride’s father and the bridegroom’s father facing each other, solemnise the final betrothal ceremony, the vedic priest chanting the relevant hymns-in which the names of the bride, the bridegroom, as well as the names of their three generations of ancestors, are cited in presence of friends, relatives, and invitees.

The manthras say : "O God Varuna, Be she harmless to my brothers and sisters! Oh Brihaspathi! May she no evil to her husband! O Lord Indra! Bless her to be a good guardian of her children! O Surya! Bless her with all wealths! "

EXCHANGE OF GARLANDS
The bride and the groom are lifted to the shoulders of their respective uncles; and in that position the two garland each other thrice for a complete union. A garland worn by a person, should not be used by another, ordain our shastras. Here the exchange of garlands symbolises their unification – as one soul in two bodies. It is inward acceptance by each of the very fragrance of the other.

‘OONCHAL’

SWING, RIDE AND SINGING OF LAALI
Then, the marrying couple is seated on a swing ( OONCHAL); they rock forth and back, as the ladies around sing – LAALI, songs to praise to the couple. The chains of the swing signify the eternal Karmic link with Almighty above; the to-and-fro motion represent the undulating sea-waves of life; yet, in mind and body they shall move in harmony unperturbed, steady and stable.

‘PAALIKAI’ SEEDS SOWING
This is fertility rite. Paalikais are earthen pots prepared a day earlier – pots spread at the base with hariali grass and Bael leaves (Vilvam); nine kinds of pre-soaked cereals are ceremonially sown in these pots by Sumangalis. After the marriage, the sprouted seedlings are released in a river or pool. This ritual invokes the blessings of the eight-direction-quartered guardian angles, for a healthy life and progeny to the couple.

‘VARA PUJA’
The feet of the bridegroom is washed in milk, and wiped off with silk.

Water, and lighted lamps are circulated around the swing in order to guard the couple against demons and ghosts.

Coloured globules of cooked rice are waved in circular motion, and thrown away – to propitiate the evil spirits.

‘KANYA DHAANAM’
The bride is made to sit on her father’s lap and is given away as gift by him, to the bridegroom.

On the girl’s head, a ring made with Kusa, the sacred grass called DARBHA, is placed, and over it, is placed a yoke; the Gold Mangal Sutra ( or THAALI ) is placed right on the aperture of the yoke, and water is poured through the aperture. The Mantras chanted at this time, say:

"Let this gold multiply your wealth! Let this water purify your married life, and may your prosperity increase. Offer yourself to your husband! "

The bride then is given an auspicious ablution, and an exclusive new KOORAI Saree is draped around her – this is done by the sister of the bridegroom.

To bride in her new saree, a belt made of reed-grass is tied around the waist. The manthras chant:

"She standeth here, pure before the holy fire, as one blessed with boons of a good mind, a healthy body, life-long companionship of her husband ( Sumangali Bhagyam ) and children with long life. She standeth as one who is avowed to stand by her husband virtuously. Be she tied with this red-grass rope, to the sacrament of marriage! "

Thanks giving vedic hymns follow to the celestial caretakers of her childhood: the Deities of SOMA, GANDHARVA and AGNI. Having attained nobility, the girl is now free to be given over to the care of the human – her man.

The Vedic concepts underlying this ritual is figuratively this: that in her infant stage, SOMA had given her coolness of the moon, and strength; in the next stage, GANDHARVA had given her bodily beauty; and lastly AGNI gave her passions.

The father of the bride, while offering his daughter chants: "I offer ye my daughter, a maiden virtuous, good-natured, very wise, decked with ornaments to the best of my ability-; that she shall guard the Dharma, Wealth, and Love! "

THE BRIDEGROOM’S ASSURANCE
Thus offering her daughter, her father gets a word of assurance three times that the bridegroom shall remain for ever her companion in joy and sorrow – in this life, and after death too!

‘KANKANA DHARANAM’
The bride ties a string fastened to a piece of turmeric, around the wrist of the bridegroom – to bind themselves by a religious vow. It is only after tying the Kankanam that the bridegroom gets the right to touch the bride. A little later, the bridegroom ties a Kankanam on the bride’s wrist.

‘MAANGALYA DHARANAM’
Next, timed to exact auspicious hour, is the tying of the Mangala Sutra ( Thaali ). The bride seated over a sheaf of grain-laden hay, looking eastward, and the bridegroom facing westward, ties the gold Mangala Sutra around the neck of the bride. As he does so, the Nadaswaram drums are beaten loud and fast, so as to muffle any inauspicious sounds at the critical hour. This is called Getti Melam; as it sounds, the Sumangali ladies sing "GOURI KALYANAME, VAIBHOGAMAY! "

Three knots are tied – the first one by the bridegroom, the other two knots by his sister to make the bride a parts of the boy’s family. The Vedic hymn recited by the bridegroom when he ties the knot, is: " Praying the Almighty that I be blessed with a long life, I tie this knot around your neck, oh soubhaygavati, may providence bestow on you a fulfilling life of a ‘Sumangalis’ for a hundred years to come! "

‘PAANI GRAHANAM’
This means "holding hands". The groom holds the hand of the bride. The Manthras say: The Devas have offered you to me in order that I may live the life of a householder ( GRIHASTA ); we shall not part from each other even after we grow old! "

‘SAPTHA PADHI’
Holding the bride’s hand, the bridegroom walks seven steps with her. This is the most important part of the marriage ceremony, and only when they walk seven steps together ( i.e. perform SAPTHA PADHI ) is the marriage complete legally. The belief is that when one walks 7 steps with another, one becomes the another’s friend. The manthras recited then, mean: "Ye who have walked seven steps with me, become my companion, where by I acquire your friendship. We shall remain together inseparable. Let us make a vow together; we shall share love, share the same food, and share the strength, the same tastes. We shall be of one mind, we shall observe the vow together. I shall be the SAMA, you the RIG: I shall be the Upper World, you the earth; I shall be the SUKHILAM, you the HOLDER – together we shall live, beget children, and other riches, come thou, O sweet-worded girl! "

‘PRADHAANA HOMAM’
A crucial part of the wedding is the homage paid by the couple to AGNI, the fire- God. They circle around the fire, and feed it with ghee, and twigs of nine types of trees, as sacrificial fuel. The fumes that arise, are supposed to possess medicinal, curative and cleansing effects on the bodies of the couple.

AGNI, the mightiest power in the cosmos, the sacred purifier, the all-round benefactor, is deemed as a witness to the marriage (AGNI SAAKSHI )

TREADING ON THE GRINDSTONE
Holding the bride’s left foot toe, the bridegroom helps her tread on a grindstone kept on the right side of the fire. The Manthras says: "Mount up this stone. Let thy mind be roc-firm, unperturbed, by the trials and tribulations of life! "

SHOWING HER THE "ARUNDHATI " STAR
Next he shows her the Star ARUNDHATI ( of the SAPTHA RISHI Constellation ), as also DHRUVA the polestar. Arundhati, the wife of VASISHTA Mahrishi, is exemplified as an ideal wife, the embodiment of chastity. DHRUVA is the one who attained immortality through single-minded devotion and perseverance – virtues to be emulated through out married life.

‘LAAJA HOMAM’
This shall comprise the bride’s own offering to the sacrificial fire. As she is forbidden to do it herself, her brother helps her. He gives her a handful of parched rice grains which she hands to bridegroom who on her behalf, feeds it into the fire. Through this food offering, the bride seeks a long life for her husband, and propagation of the family. Participation of the bride’s family members indicates the continuance of links between the two families, even after marriage. The couple circle around the fire, three times, and the feeding of the fire with parched rice, is repeated thrice.

SHOWERING OF ‘AKSHADAI’
Akshadai, i.e. rice-grains coated with turmeric and saffron, are showered on the couple, by elders and invitees – as benediction.

‘GRIHA PRAVESAM’
Taking with her, fire from the Laaja Homam, the bride takes leave of her home, and enters the new home of her in-laws. The vedic hymns now sound likes the mother’s words of advice to her daughter: "Be the queen of your husband’s home. May your husband glorify your virtues; conduct yourself in such a way that you win your mother-in-law’s love, and be in the good books of your sister’s-in-law."

‘NALUNGU’
The evening of the marriage day is the time to relax and play. The newly wed wife calls her husband for play, inviting him through a song. Much to the merriment of one and all gathered, there follows list of playful items: the bride anointing the groom’s feet with colour paste ; fanning him, showing him a mirror; breaking papads over each other’s head; wrenching the betel pack from each other’s hand; rolling the coconut from one to another as in ball-play; and so on. During these items, the ladies sing songs poking fun at the bride, groom and the in-laws.

These events brings out many qualities of the bride and the groom – sporting spirit, kindness, strength, co-operative nature etc.

I don't understand why IT Companies are like this

I really don't understand why IT companies are killing their employees.

Today (17th August 2011), I went to training in a HCL facility located at Navalur. Totally I got Rs.700 wasted for my transport. I cannot blame anybody becoz without knowing about the place, I myself volunteered to attend the training.

The facility is approximately 35 to 40 kms from my home. I started from my home at 8.00 am, calculating the traffic I thought I will reach the training hall by 9.20 am . Did I made any mistake or the Chennai city traffic is unpredictable like Chennai rain, when I reached the hall it was around 10.35 am. One hour delay for the training session.

I took a call taxi to go there. Everything was fine until the beginning of 'IT Express Way'. Hardly it took 20 minutes from my home to reach the area. I was very happy, that I will be on time for training.

When Man proposes something and if it happens perfectly, then why the hell we need God?

Signal, Traffic Jam, Signal, Traffic jam, Traffic jam, traffic Jam, Signal etc etc etc... After 16 traffic jams and 9 signals (approx), I successfully(frustatingly) reached the place.

But I thought of one thing. From my home alone, that place is about 40km. Then what about people who live farther than my place.

Just because, a company pays its employees, is there any rule that they can kill them alive in any way they want.

After a loooooonnnnnnnngggggg journey to their office, how are the employees are working?

To the worst, there is office hours of 9 hours. So 9 hours and to & fro journey hours, totally 2/3rd of the day is swallowed for office alone. Rest there will be time to and sleep, wake up, dress up then run again.

Really I am very sorry for the people who are all running distant places to make their living. Are all people afford to buy a home near their workplace? Do all people have money to spend for a Car? (Already traffic jam is in peak.)

IT companies are monsters, demons, devils which kill their people in the traffic of Chennai city.

May be cities like Mumbai, Bangalore and all will be like hell I think. No comments about cities worser than this.

Day-by-day suffering of people to make a living increases.

It will be very nice if any apocalypse comes to make the end of the world.I am eagerly waiting for a giant comet or meteorite to welcome to Earth. No traffic, No office, No Recession, No Appraisal.

May be HELL has shifted its base to Earth I think.

The Connotation of "WHY" - a Rheotorical term

W H Y

Just a three letter word. But a magic word. A human being born in this planet can possibly to some extent be able to answer
"What"s
"When"s
"Where"s
"Which"s
"Who"s

But I bet he cannot answer for "Why"s. When he tries to answer for one "Why" he in turn gives birth to 10 "why"s and those 10 "why"s to another 100 "why"s and so on.


Example 1:
Why this world is light and dark?
A: Sun rises and sets

Why sun rise and set?
A: Earth is rotating itself.

Why earth rotates? (Eg:Because it has no work. Why it has no work?....)
......

Example 2:
Who am I?
A: I am a woman

Why you are a woman?
A: My genes are programmed to be woman

Why your genes are programmed to be woman?
A: .....

Example 3:
Why did I born?
A:...

Example 4:
How we survive?
A: By breathing O2

Why we breathe Oxygen not Nitrogen or Hydrogen or any other 'gen's?
A: ..........

I guess nobody can answer this questions.:-)

Anybody knows for the questions left blank please post it. But be ready to answer for my next 'why'.

Even sometimes a human will not be able to answer the other "W"s.

Who created this universe?
What was before BIG BANG explosion?

Now what time can be answered but "What is a TIME?" cannot be answered.
When TIME started and when will it end?
A Time starts when you spectator sees/does something and stops when spactator stops to see/do that something. There is no time but only TIME SPAN. Time shall exist till the spectator/doer exist.

There is one statement in Tamil

"PAAR PAVAN ILLAI ENDRAL PARKA PADUVATHUM ILLAI PARKAPADUVATHUVUM ILLAI" Meaning when a spectator does not exist spectating will not exist and spectate action will not exist.

Back to WHY:

We as humans do not extend our WHY questions unless we are sure we will be benefitted. Once we are satisifed with our gains our WHYs stop there.

That's why, WHY questions are Rheotorical questions. Meaning, only question is there but no answer.

It is not that it cannot be answered. But our brain's thinking has not extended to answer them. A human brain only utilises 5 to 7% of itself. Even an intelligent person uses that much only. With 7% content, upto what we can think and answer?

Do anyone know 'WHY' we use only 5% of brain?
.........

Again blank answer. I am not sure if man can find answer for these questions atleast before the last second of extinction.

Do not throw your driver and struggle like me

Well you all think I have thrown my car driver out of job and struggling for transportation. Not really

Well that struggle can be tolerated but I have thrown away my driver software of my webcamera and doing nothing but sit and shout.

You may ask. Why the hell? Google and get your driver software. But I found a thing, it is easy to fetch a driver for car from google but not the driver software of my web camera.

One year back, I bought a webcam HYTECH HT5520 model, as my father is abroad and me & my mom can have video chat with him. I installed the driver and using it. The product was very good. I cannot deny. But the biggest mistake which I have done is, I lost the driver disk. I did not care about it that time. I did not take back up of the disk into my system too. Why to waste a disk?

After a while, I formatted my machine and the driver for the webcam got washed away. Then I did not even think about the webcam. Recently, I thought of having test video chat with my smartphone and desktop using skype. Then only I realised , the driver software is not with me.

No problem. Just like that I went to Google, searched for the software with keywords 'hytech ht5520 driver download'. About 13000 results came but none had what I want. I went to Hytech website but they did not publish the software there instead instructed to drop a mail for that. I did the same. Till now I did not get any reply.

For the past one week to 10 days I am searching searching searching. Search only going on. Nothing else.

My father used to make back ups for everything he gets. He repeatedly insisted me to that. That time, I was irritated by that torture. But now I feel, my father is correct. Had I done what he said, there will not be any regrets

There are things which we will struggle to get even if we have money. I have money to buy the software but I don't know who will have that. My camera is now like a showcase piece.

Nowadays computer accessories are in plug and play mode. But my cam is still a Tipu Sultan period product which asks for driver.

My sincere suggestion to all people who read this. Don't ever think we can download anything we want. We can download things which is available in Internet and not which does not have.

1. So have a back up of all software which you have. No matter how easily it can be got from net.

2. Keep your driver disks original safe.

3. Do not buy HYTECH product. Their support is very worst. WORST is an ordinary word. Very^Infinity worst.

Throw your engine driver even but not your electronic product driver.
