Sleep

Image
Sleep is a state of body and mind such that it is relaxing and allows us to get refreshed. Without sleep, life is impossible. Every living thing sleeps. It mainly relaxes the body and mind. But does it do another thing as well? Here's what I think: Sleep acts as a protector. It protects us from somewhat dangerous things that we cannot live through if we were awake. Some reasons are: According to Mr. Allan Zullo , author of "World's Dumbest Crooks and other true tales of bloopers, botches & blunders" states that a 37 year old man ,who was camping one night, was found 70 feet (12 metres) below, at the base of a cliff. Amazingly he wasn't seriously injured! A police spokesman informed that he was only alive because he was sleeping. After an accident or some serious incident, we often go into coma, a state of deep sleep. This protects us from dying right away. A theory suggests that we sleep to be protected from attacks of predators. This suggests that...

Pakistan School Massacre 17/12

Yesterday on 17th December 2014, the world witnessed grieving massacre of students at a school in Pakistan by terrorists.  It was a normal Tuesday morning in Peshwar's Army Public School when the massacre had started. One moment the children were studying at school and the next they were all fleeing for their lives. A group of terrorists had invaded the school. More than one hundred children died yesterday - around 141 people, mostly children. There were blood stains everywhere. It was a sad, quiet atmosphere. Where there once kids running with joy, all that is left is a blood stained school.  I feel sad thinking about all those children who died. Thinking about their families screaming with horror brings a tear to my eyes. I wish there was some way we could help them. But there is almost nothing we can do. Life is more precious than money, money lost can be gained once again but a life lost cannot be gained once again. Losing a child's life causes more sorrow as it an inno...

My Dream

Image
A dream is a vision which one tries to achieve and what everyone should have. My dream is to be a world renowned scientist. A scientist's job is to make technologies for the comfort of human life. I will be a scientist not only for the comfort of human life but also for the well being of the unfortunate. A safe house, clean environment, new technologies, happy health- the unfortunate would no longer be unfortunate. Everyone wants to find the cure of cancer, HIV, etc. I want to find how to destroy them. We all know the population problems- more people less space. I will create such an environment for people and nature to live on other planets like Mars, Jupiter,etc. One planet I would make for nature itself as it is getting destroyed by us humans. There are many problems in the world. I would help the people to have a fresh start using my inventions.

Kerala - God's Own Country

A short report on what I think of Kerala: Kerala, a state in the southwest of India on the Malabar coast, has been nicknamed as God's own country. It has been blessed by an uncountable number of natural resources and beauty, in the narrow surface area it has been given, it is an incarnation of natural beauty which must be truly felt from the in order to enjoy it. Kerala is called God's own country for namely four reasons: God himself made it  Religious tolerance Natural beauty Rich culture On visiting Kerala I experienced all of these things. The first day itself a beautiful, mesmerizing classical dance, exhibiting Kerala's natural beauty. Everywhere I visited, everyone was kind, friendly and all were living together in harmony. Kerala is a state with full literacy, high health care and lower mortality ratio.There were Hindu temples, Muslim mosques and Christian churches, with no communal riots and only great religious tolerance. Unlike other states, Keral...
