Asteroid to hits Earth...

Good news: Scientists predicted it. Bad News: Only six hours before it burst into our atmosphere..

Hmm guys BigBAng going to happend soon as we expected 2012?2019? or 2029..?'this is the first time that sceintist as i kno have been able to predict an impactor in advance .

The asteroid - labeled 2008 TC3 - believed was spotted yesterday a little farther away from Earth than the Moon by a U.S. observatory in Arizona. It ploughed into the upper atmosphere above Sudan but could also be seen.

But what scare me is sceintist were only able to give us the world about six hours' notice because the rock was so dark and small. The burn-up was just as sceintist had predicted. Any object entering the atmosphere heats the air in front of it, which in turn heats the hurtling object - and that spells disintegration for asteroids of TC3's size. Everyone better ready to be BBhumanQ.

Bullseye: The asteroid's progress as predicted by astronomers and, circled right, the object caught on camera as it sped towards Earth

The asteroid created a large fireball at about 2.46am GMT, the team at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics said.Astronomers warning of the impending impact had been keen to emphasise that the strike would not be dangerous. There are 5,681 such asteroids in near-Earth orbit, but only 757 of them are large enough to cause any damage if they hit the planet.

In other words, if an asteroid strikes Earth, it will be a really, really bad day no matter how big it is. If the asteroid is a mile in diameter, it's likely to wipe out life on the planet. It could be on 13 April, 2029..hehe maybe..But let's hope that doesn't happen anytime soon!..Only matter of time it could happened ..but when ???

Valaikappu(Indian bangle wearing ceromony)

My wife's Valaikappu was held yesterday on 9th Dec 2012. The day actually fall on our 2nd year of our wedding anniversary, My wife was 30 weeks pregnant at that time.Vallaikappu is a combination of two words - vallai - meaning round (as in bangle) and kappu - meaning protection. This ceremony is performed during the odd months of pregnancy mostly during the seventh month for the expectant mother and celebrates the joy of the upcoming motherhood and ensures the welfare of both the mother and the baby inside her womb. Mostly women are invited for this function. The expectant mother is made to wear a lot of bangles mostly glass ones of red and green colors and the sound of these bangles are supposed to reach the womb. We do some cooking our self and especially my wife she do mee-goreng by herself - and we brought some kuih-Muihs and cakes. So, it was a wonderful occasion with some of the relatives helping to bring their own home-made dishes to the ceremony.We started the ceremony

Hanuman and Sita Mother necklace

Rama and Sita residing in Hanuman's heart Great rejoicings and festivities followed the return of Sri Rama to Ayodhya and his crowning as the King. After a few days, life went back to normal and all the monkeys who had served as warriors in his army returned to their home in the forest. Only one stayed behind; he was sad to leave the Master of his heart. He stood quietly in a corner and looked at Sri Rama with eyes filled with Love. Sri Rama noticed his fervent devotee and asked: "O mighty hero how am I to compensate you for all you have done for me and my family?" Many would have wanted wealth, name or fame, approbation or recognition or VIP line in return for their services. But Sri Hanuman was above all these: "I desire nothing, Prabhu!" Then the Queen, Sita Mother, removed a valuable necklace of pearls from her neck and offered it to the humble Sri Hanuman. Sri Hanuman took the necklace from Sita Mother. However, strang

Combating Global Warming

Two sides of the world We all hear about Global Warming, but know very little about how to stop or minimize it. We are told to use less energy, electricity, fuel etc. but are not shown the resources on how to, effectively, perform these tasks. Increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere is known as global warming,However with the signs being so evident still we are showing no signs of transforming. West Wall of the World East Wall of the World Man this is soooooo much waterrrrr ... no wonder we are called the Blue Planet ..
