An Out of Body Experience!

Imagine looking at all of our internal organs, i mean real organs. Seeing just the amazing and intricate network of bloodvessels. I thought I needed to be a medical student to look at these amazing parts of our anatomy.

Yesterday, I went to an exhibition on Human Anatomy called Body Works 3. It has preserved bodies of dead people using a process called Plastination. All the body parts are kept as it is without any decay. This is mainly done for educational purposes for study of human anatomy; the most complex machine we have ever seen but still very systematic in arrangement and operation.

I was a little uncomfortable at first but after sometime i was so fascinated that my friends had to pull me out of the exhibition.

A few things really amazed me like there was a display with just the network of blood vessels. It looked so fragile intricate and reminded me of a fine mesh. There was display of damaged lungs ( due to smoking ) and damaged liver ( due to drinking). This display, every guy/gal who drinks or smokes should see of what they are doing to their organs. It was so yucky!

I was really moved by one display. It was series of display of the human embryo from 1 week to 9 weeks or so. It was so amazing to see that was me ( actually all of us) 24 years ago. It was very moving and it strengthened my belief in the All Mighty even more.

It was really great experience which i think all should have at least once so that we can appreciate our body more than we do now.

My First Motorcycle Roadtrip

I went on my first road on my motorcycle( Kawasaki Ninja 500R) to a place called Kingman in the north of Arizona. This was 22nd of June 2007. It is around 200 miles from Phoenix, Arizona. A fun ride it was and was not very tiring as i assumed it would be. I left early around 6am and reached Kingman around 9.30am with 2 stops in the middle at Wickenberg and a some other place just before Kingman. The trip was very uneventful except that my gear lever came off few miles outside Kingman. Stopping at a gas station nearby, I found that I could put it back myself using the tools I had in my bike. Thank God! After finishing my work, I had short lunch break at Denny's in Kingman. For my friends back home, Denny's is nice diner chain where you get bottomless coffee :-). I left back early around 11.30am, so I can reach Phoenix before the temperature rises. On my way back, I stopped at a bridge and took a small video. My first personal video taken on my new Moto Rizr. First thing, I real

F1 is back!

It is that time of the year guys! Formula 1 is back and with a whole lot changes too. Renault trying to win another championship with alonso before he joins Mclaren in 2007 and then there are the V8s how will they affect the series. Tyre Changes are back and complicated new qualifying schedule should make March 12 2006- interesting day. Winter Testing showed Honda to be the best and most reliable team. With Barrichello, a proven race winner in the team , Honda can win their 1st GP in 2006. Renault looks solid as ever and sure are the favorites. You cant rule out schumi in what might be his last season in F1. Mclaren have been very erratic in the winter testing, with mercedez V8 not up to the mark. F1 pundits thinks Cosworth and Toyota have best V8s. This makes Toyota and Williams- Dark Horses in 2006 season. It will interesting to see how BMW does in its 1st year as an independent team.The speed of Super Aguri in 2002 arrows will also be interesting. Personally, I am very big Williams

What a Irony!

On a day when India is celebrating the successful completion of Stage 1 of conquering the moon, people are being beaten up and public property worth thousands of rupees is being burnt in Mumbai and its suburbs. What a contrast! But that is my India for you. On one side, people taking law into their own hands proclaiming that they are saving the marathi  manoos and hurting people from other parts of country to gain political mileage and on the other hand, 3000 people from all over India are working together to conquer one goal - the moon.   I am sure, of the 3000 people, there is atleast one  marathi  manoos. Does he care that he belongs the different state than the others working with him? It must not even cross his mind that he is working with an Bihari or Tamilian. He can only see that all of them have a common goal - to put an Indian flag on the moon.  He lives, works and shares his life with others without worrying about their origin. He cannot even think of hurting them. He might
