Hi Guys,
It is so good to
be blogging again after a long time. For some time, I was not involved in any
of my usual hobbies and was fully immersed in lot of activities. Soon, I
realized how bad it is turning out be and started to do my usual activities
again. In the past 1 week, I have seen a really good movie (The Curious Case of
Benjamin Button), 1 really good thriller novel (The Hunger Games), took some
interesting photographs and finally I am sitting down to blog.
The Hunger Games – a Fiction Thriller
As usual I was
checking for the box office collections of recently released Hollywood movies
and was amazed to find that The Hunger Games had collected $153 mn in the first
week end. It is a very big number, that only a selected few movies grasp. The
rating was good and learnt that it is based on a young adult novel by Suzanne
Collins. I searched for the novel and found it to have good ratings. I checked
the price online and found that Indiaplaza was offering 40% discount. 15
minutes back I had no idea on the novel and now I had ordered the novel. The novel
came in two days and it took me one day to finish it off. I was not in a very
good mood when I started reading, but then I was pulled into the story.
The story happens
in the future North America. The country is called Panem and it has a Capitol
and twelve districts. Each year a boy and girl from each district are chosen as
tributes and the tributes are sent into a camp for fighting till death. This is
called the Hunger games and the lone survivor wins. The story begins at
District 12, where Katniss spends her time hunting and saving her family. On
the day of reaping (the day when tributes are chosen), her sister’s name
springs out. Katniss volunteers in order to save her sister. This leads her to
a set of actions that she has never seen or imagined before. After facing lot
of surprises and troubles, does she wins form the rest of the novel.
Cockroach – Red Light Theory
Recently I had
seen a big cockroach in my home. It went away soon, but then this interesting
theory came to my mind. My mother says that cockroaches are afraid of red
light. That’s why my mom keeps a red light (15W) in our kitchen and she says that’s
why cockroaches don’t visit often. I searched sources in the internet to find
if its true. There was no proof. It is generally said that cockroaches are used
to dark, but they are not afraid of light. They get used to light. I think
there is no open source for cockroaches to come to the kitchen and that’s why
they stay out.
Meanwhile, I
found an interesting fact. If cockroaches are crushed and applied to wounds,
they can help to ease the sting. If anyone is interested, try out!!!
Fools Day
Fools day used
to be a fun during school days. Usually it will come amidst exams and usually
friends used to fool us by saying something. Sometimes you will realize it as
soon as it is said, but sometimes students used to believe and spread the issue
to a whole bunch, before someone makes him realize that he was fooled. Those
were good memorable days. For the past few years, it has not been as good as
before. The reasons maybe either we are matured enough to know that we are
being fooled or that the other person is matured enough not to play.
That’s it for
now. I sign off after posting a few photographs I took in the previous days.
