911 Conspiracy predicted in X-Files
A tiny clip from Lone Gunmen Episode 1: Pilot, Aired on March 4, 2001:
This is what I call a fictional conspiracy becoming coincidentally predictive!
Change is Constant
Doesn’t this sentence, sound oxymoronic just like a const variable?
Change is the one, that is always constant.
The speed of light which you might think to be an universal constant, actually refers to something that is changing. It denotes the rate of change of the position of a photon.
How about the radius of earth? Is it constant? It denotes radius of something that is in self-rotation as well as on the move around the sun. What if the earth stops all its movements? Will its radius be the same? Will it still be spherical (~)?
Did I hear about the mass? Well! Take the mass of anything. What makes a mass? Its protons, neutrons & electrons. All are under constant move.
Leave living-things, even non-living things change. Every mountain grows. Sea levels change. Clouds float to places. Stones roll in diff shapes, the environment around carves it. Tables crack with age. Chairs bend. Oxygen eats metals. Dead bodies disintegrate.
Earth’s gravity, number of chromosomes in humans, your parents (think abt it), your interests - all denote change or will subject to change.
Change is everywhere. Everything surrounding you changes. Embrace change.
(ps: Even the spelling of “Change” can change, you may never be sure of!)
Ambigrams in your name
Update #0: The deal is over. Thank GOD that Vinod cud ask one. :)
Ambigrams offer interesting ways to write a word. I had quite a good time, creating the ones here. To kill boredom & to spark some fun, here I offer to create 8* ambigrams for the words you want.
Hold on, here are the rules:
- Only bloggers can request an ambigram. This privilege isn’t applicable to Adiya, Aparna & Latha (identification mark: B’s teeth).
- Lets limit to 1 request/blogger. Let it be a fair play.
- If you agree that, “I love you” is a sentence. Sentences can’t be ambigramed (atleast, I donno). Even if it is written as, “ILoveYou”. So no ambigram that you may request shall exceed 2 words.
- All requests are to be via comments of this post only. No direct/personal emails shall be entertained.
- Your request would be accepted, after you answer a question, I may pose, via email.
- This offer closes after 8 requests or on 12th Oct. Whichever comes first.
- All ambigrams will be released in Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 India License.
- Although, I’m committed in completing the requests; there is no deadline. :) I wish you know this.

My Sassy Girl
I happened to pull-in some pics of Elisha Cuthbert (I’ll try to remember her name) not knowing who she is & not even previewing her pics. Its a kinda technology which provides only filenames & no thumbnails, with which I downloaded. That was a week before.
Stumbled across, My Sassy Girl yesterday & it was totally entertaining. Guess what? Elisha Cuthbert, is the lead actress. She appears as Jordan R+o+a+r+k; an unpredictive, seemingly arrogant, always drunk, bossy, delusional, yet hawt still beautiful girl. Charlie (Jesse Bradford) the character getting along with Jordan, introduces her like this:
Once in your life, if you are very lucky; you’ll meet the person who divides it; into the time before you met her & the time after.
Thats how the course of events take a ruthless, un-imaginable yet interesting turns, after bumping upon her.
While watching the movie, felt the character of Jordan to be something new for Hollywood (ofcourse, telling this with my limited knowledge). Later learnt it to be a remake of a Korean film.
Elisha’s role is very-much likeable. The background score is pleasant & devoid of any modern sounds. It is disheartening to hear that this movie didn’t make it to the theatres. It is DVD only.
Get your eyes on it & leave your comments.
ps: Wikipedia entry of Elisha says that she was the contender for MJ’s role in SpiderMan. Would hav been awesome, had she gotten the slot.
