Random Thought!!

Just while browsing the Internet I came to know about an awesome muscle car : The 2012 CHEVROLET CAMARO ZL1.This is a masterpiece. This cool car just left me speechless!! Take a look at it!



Huh, What do you say??

An Awesome Day!!

What is an awesome day really like? (Feel free to Share). Huh.., I had no idea of it till I experienced one!
It was Tuesday, 17th May 2011. Now, this day was not like the other days, maybe because I had to take important entrance exam on this day. Yeah, I had my BITSAT on this day which if I would have cleared I could today be studying in the most prestigious engineering college of India, BITS-PILANI obviously after the IITs. But, its okay whatever happened!
So, on this morning I got up at 5.30 a.m as I had to get ready and report to the exam hall by 7.45 a.m. Well, clearly the day didn't begin very well. I was a bit tensed, because this was a tough exam, a bit curious, because this was my first computer based exam and a bit relieved, because this was my last engr. entrance exam! Anyways, I got ready and reached the centre too early. I had chosen to give this exam in one of the most popular cities of Eastern India, Patna. Well, the weather was too hot, temperatures soaring and really humid! (Actually, the weather was so damn hot that as soon as I landed in Patna, and walked a few steps on the Airport, which obviously was fully air-conditioned, I began sweating, started to feel the heat. Surprisingly, this was the condition with all the passengers there). I had stayed in my Uncle's house for the last few days with my cousin, Sharad Jha who is a year younger to me, it was fun to be there!
So, my Uncle & I waited at the centre, till it was time to go in. Here I met one of my best buddies Himanshu Shekhar, who was also there for the same purpose. I was a little relieved to see him there. 
We took the test and I was really annoyed after it because I had scored too less!. For a moment, it felt to me like it was the worst day I had seen, but that thought vanished after I reached my Cousin's home who made me feel that I might get another chance and that I shouldn't give up. Well, he was right!
Now, here is where the fun began! All my exams were over! So, I was free. Since, I had to leave the same night, Sharad & I decided to go out and explore the city!. We didn't care for the scorching sun and headed directly to one of the most popular places in Patna, Gandhi Maidan. After reaching there in about an hour, we took a stroll there for some time and then decided to go to The Shrikrishna Science Centre!
After entering the Main Building, we were amazed to see variety of things present there! We began with a simple trick of illusions and then saw some really cool stuffs, like the Infinite Well, variety of optical illusion, Special Mirrors which formed a really funny image of me and Sharad!. Then, we moved on to a room named dine with yourself where you could sit and five images of yours were formed giving a feel that you were dining with yourself.



It was really an enjoyable time, a day I would never forget.

But, this was just the beginning. We then clicked a lot of pics inside the main hall with really fantastic stuffs. After viewing inside and knowing a dozen of scientific facts, we came out in the open where there were again numerous things. We started with the Jurassic Park. In this section, there were a lot of dinosaurs which looked really scary on the first sight because they were movable creature. The head, eyes, hands, and tail were perhaps controlled hydraulically which moved after a specific time that enhanced its beauty. After this we went on to see the last section of the Science Centre.






This part was the funniest part of the whole journey. We saw two robot-like sculpture standing at a distance of about 50 m. This was to demonstrate how sound travels through strings. Now, Sharad went on to speak from the other robot's mouth and I was at the other end listening to him. But, my Robot, has an extra hole on its head. Now, I didn't know where to speak from. So I said something from the Robot's head but Sharad couldn't hear anything. Suddenly, a stranger told me that I had to speak through its mouth. Then, I realized that the hole on its head was just because it was defective one. It was so funny, that moment was totally hilarious. After this, we moved on to a special chair which could rotate and it had weights on both of its sides between two long rods so that one could move them.
Now, this was meant only for children, but curiously, I and Sharad sat on it. First, Sharad sat and I helped him. As soon as he brought the weights near him, the chair started to rotate at a tremendous speed. Also, this was meant for children so the chair was too small. He began screaming and asked me to stop, but that was not possible because the chair was at great speed. Then, I asked him to release the weights which eventually worked out and stopped the chair. It was so funny, the look on his face!
After seeing all of the sections outside, including the Biplane which was really cool, we took some pics and came out of the centre.


Then, Sharad took me to a restaurant named Dosa Plaza, where I was surprised to know that there was more than a 100 varieties of Dosas available. I was shocked to know that there were actually these many varieties available....from Mexican Cheese Dosa to the very popular Masala Dosa. Then after having some Snacks we decided to go home. I was reluctant to go but I had to because I had to leave that night for Ranchi. So, finally an awesome day came to an end!! You can see more pics of our journey at this link An Awesome Day !!

This was a day that I will never forget!!
