FOR THE BOOK WORMS............

Unlike what I do every single time, this time I wanted to do something different. I pick up a topic and get on a rant about it. But this time I wanted to uphold a review. Basically, on some books I read during the holidays. To be honest I am a much more "teenage love fantasy fan" but I also do read classics and Sci-fi books so here are my recommendations:- (you might get them for cheap or free with Kindle)

1. Frankenstein:- I think most of the adults reading this would have already read about the excruciatingly sad tale of Dr. Victor who made a Monster. I read un abridged version by Om illustrated classics. Even though it has been so long since it first came out. To be frank it has aged pretty well. I also found it baffling the fact that most people just know the name but haven't read this book. It might be a bit too harsh for the younger audience as the book deals with depressing sentiments. So I would recommend it for a bit older audience between the age of 11-14. I would rate this book about a 8.9/10

 Pros:- Timeless classic, great story       Cons :- A little too sad

2.Time machine:- Huh.. God! I didn’t know why I was choosing devilishly depressing books before , but none the good ones like this . I chose this book by mistake. I started looking for a wimpy kid book. I by mistake took this one for rent and there I was during the weekend sitting alone in my study for a good time with a wimpy kid book , and I open the bag and I get this. Having no option I read it and for the next two hours I enjoyed reading it and dwelled deep down into the life of The time traveler who believes he has made a time machine. . So I wouldn't spoil anything about this book. It was simply Ineffable. I would give it about a 10/10

Our resources

Nowadays we are using petroleum and its derivatives a lot now we can find them but in future??? This is a question for us all so we need to conserve petroleum and its derivatives. We can use alternative sources instead of petroleum and its derivatives this would be a very nice way to conserve petroleum and its derivatives.
There are many alternative sources of energy some of them are
1. Solar energy
Sun's seat and light energy can be felt by us everyday . Solar energy trapped from the sun can be used in solar cells to produce electricity.
Many of these cells are joined into solar panels to generate power for heating and lighting purpose. The technology of utilising solar energy benefits a lot of tropical countries that are blessed with abundant Sunshine solar energy is also used in solar heater , solar cooker , solar dryers besides being used for community lighiting a traffic signals.
Its Advantages
Inexhaustible
Non polluting
Its Disadvantage
Expensive
Difused source, so gets wasted
2.Wind energy
Wind is an inexhaustible source of energy. Wind has been used for grinding grains and lifting water since times immemorial. In Modern Time wind mill , the high speed winds rotate the windmill which is connected to a generator to produce electricity. Wind farms having clusters of such windmills are located in coastal regions and in Mountain passing a strong and steady winds blow
Advantages of wind energy
Non polluting
Low cost production of electricity once set up
Safe and clean
Disadvantage of wind energy
pollution
Wind mills are costly to setup
disturb radio and TV reception
harmful to birds
3.Geothermal energy
Heat energy obtained from the earth is called geothermal energy . The temperature in the interior of the earth Rises steadily as we go deeper. Sometimes this heat energy may surface itself in the form of hot springs. This heat energy can be used to generate power geothermal energy in the form of hot Springs has been used for cooking heating and bathing for several years.

Advantages of geothermal energy
Clean and eco friendly and always available
Disadvantage of geothermal energy
Located far away from the cities and so costly to transport
Tidal energy
Energy generated from tides is called tidal energy. Tidal energy can be hardness by building dams at narrow openings of the sea. During high tide the energy of the tide is used to turn the turbine installed in the dam to produce electricity.
Advantages of tidal energy
 non polluting
inexhaustible
Disadvantage of tidal energy
Destroys wildlife habitat
Difficult to harness

Now it is up to you to save environment. But those all are difficult for children so we can start being simpler. Let us have a discussion on this I will write my ideas and it will it is up to you to think alternative to save environment
Here are some ideas for is by me and my friend Akshitha
We have written all about conserve materials at house

·         old shirts ( also t shirts) can we made into bags ( to know how wait till my next post

·         Leaves and organic matter can be turned into compost and can be used for plants

·         Times of holi and vegetable and flowers can be used instead of chemical colors

·         Last but not least say no to plastic and use jute and cotton bags instead



If you have any alternative ways , please share with us to save our environment

Stars…Stars…Everywhere…

Every night all of us look up in the sky and see stars. Well some of us don't even have enough time to look up and around and admire nature and some of us are day dreamers we look up in the sky and start imagining things. Well, stars are so unique in themselves that there are several stories (legends) about them.

O.k. I know I know…. this is a studious blog and we are not going to go deep inside the legends instead into realms of Science!!! Let us know a little bit more about stars. A star is a luminous object (in fact the glow of these stars reflects on the moon which makes it appear as if it has its own light) and it rotates and revolves around the pole star. Have you ever wondered why the planets and stars don't fall off out of the sky? Well the answer is simple it is because of gravity. In fact I think that almost all of us know that how in the olden days people used to connect stars and make shapes out of them, these shapes used to guide them the right way and they would never get lost. Lucky us now we have GPS and smart phones!! These shapes are now termed as constellations. Some famous constellations are the Saptarishi or big dipper, the Cassiopeia, Leo Major and Orion. I hope all of you know these constellations if not then what are you waiting for go and find out more about it, we are living in an advanced technological generation, right???

Let us go back to stars I'm sure most of us know the popular stars like "North star (pole star), Sirius, etc, (end of my thinking capacity)!!!! Oh, I almost forgot our sun too is a star and there are many more stars that are hotter, bigger and brighter than our Sun. I wonder that if none of the astronauts could come near the sun then who will be the first astronaut to come near (no don't come near take a selfie beside it!) a bigger one. It's definitely not going to be me!!! Stars can be fun too, Many astrological predictors run their business on the basis of stars and planets and several people have made beautiful crafts On stars too like the beautiful painting " The starry night" done by Mr. Vincent van Gogh. I would like to end this essay by Questioning me that how would our life be without stars? It's quite impossible to imagine the sky so dull in that way. I hope I inspired you enough to go out there with your imaginations and creativity in full swing and learn more about these beautiful twinkle twinkle little…J!!!

THINK FOR A MOMENT.. B4 U SHARE

Nowadays people are always using different forms of media to stay aware of their surroundings. People nowadays are too busy to check every topic and discuss everything with everyone, Hence when they are using social media, they trust any kind of info they get, let me get a few examples:- have you ever seen messages on your chat like this 

 "Important message from Delhi Police all over India: For the next few weeks do not drink any product of Frooti, as a worker from the company has added his blood contaminated with HIV (AIDS). It was shown yesterday on NDTV. Please forward this message urgently to people you care. Take Care.. Share it as much as you can. Every life is precious. Do your bit, I did mine."

From Saturday morning WhatsApp will become chargeable. If you have at least 10 contacts, send them this message. In this way we will see that you are an avid user and your logo will become blue and will remain free. As discussed in the paper today, WhatsApp will cost Euro 0.01 per message. Send this message to 10 people. When you do, the light will turn blue otherwise WhatsApp will activate billing… Its True… You get blue ticks!

well friends these are hoaxes, do not trust em, they all are of course false and hardly help you in any way so please don't forward any of these messages cause there might be some one out their who'll take these messages too seriously. I also would like to tell that messages which say "if you share this message we will donate money to poor people are false too I din mean to hurt or debate Jus want to say tat there....are people. Who create certain spam Posts...the  disgraceful people who create these scam posts are beneath contempt. They have no place on our social networks and should be ousted and reviled for their contemptible behaviour. By forwarding...them we gain nothing..so ....Rather forward ng a chain Message please don't trust the Internet blindfolded, check the facts then share..
