Can you believe it...Pluto no longer a planet!!! Ramifications of this are just unimaginable. Some of them have been listed below:

1. First and foremost playing with the minds of people like us who have devised mnemonics to remember the names of all the planets there are in the solar system. Now we will have to devise some all over again.

2. Shattering dreams of so many people living near the equator of shifting to cooler climes of Pluto in the near future. Well they will have to do with Neptune instead. That is unless the scientists decide to downgrade it as well.

3. NASA's plans to send a probe to the farthest planet - Pluto. Well, they will in a sense save money by not having to send their probe so far off. I don’t think they will waste money on just an asteroid now.

4. The NDA and Congress will now have to make changes in the science textbooks again. What a boring job. No communalization issues no nothing. That is unless some religious sect comes up with a way of politicizing it.

5. One hurt pride of the guy on the left. He will have to be content with downgrading of his name now.

A good strategy

In an era of intense competition in any and all industries, this is i guess a time tested strategy to advertise. Pick up a subject that is controversial and the media will do the rest. And yes, the bloggers play their part as well. This is something akin to the film industry where there is a controversy erupting before the release of any movie to grab the public's attention. I guess this guy's strategy is woking to perfection so far...

A bird song

I dream that I’m drowning out,
I try to swim, to yell and shout,
But my cries do go in vain,
As nobody comes to alleviate my pain.

Oh apathetic world do hear my voice,
I am here not by my own choice,
I don’t remember how I reached this place,
All I remember last is a deathly face.

Long far off I see a ship,
Maybe some gay souls on a leisurely trip,
I wave and I shout trying to draw it near,
What if it leaves I am gripped by fear.

I see bright light and two loud bangs,
Here my life in the balance hangs,
And then the tide turns, there is a large wave,
Coming menacingly towards me, is this my grave.

I close my eyes and wait the end,
I end my struggle, what use to fend,
But still in my heart I pray and I hope,
That let not this be the end of the rope.

So many dreams that had to be covered,
So may avenues remain undiscovered,
And I am still so young, it’s too soon to go,
I need some time to let my thoughts flow.

A kind voice that echoes in my head,
Reminds me of what my dad once said,
Have all fun before the sunset,
So that when life ends, you have no regret.

And suddenly I’m embraced by peace and calm,
I instinctively know I’m out of harm,
I open my eyes to the chirp of a bird,
Don’t worry my dear, your message I heard.

Something that i thought of in the bathroom while taking a shower....

Craziness is in the air,
People don’t want to be just fair,
Competition is at its peak,
To be the best is what all souls seek.

But trampling the competition is not the norm,
Rubbing shoulders together we face the storm,
No losers here only winners abound,
Cant you hear that victory sound!

Heed our warning here we come,
The future is in the hands of us chosen some,
So yield to our fury, the new Chimera,
We are here to signal the dawn of a new era.
