wonder why everything has to be a puzzle

why cant everything be so straight

he himself gave man the biggest puzzle of eternity

just to puzzle out who he is

made us forget how we were created

made us puzzle out how to survive

made us puzzle out how to help each other survive

his answers alone proved to be questions

puzzling out things for eternity

we have intelligence

thats why we could solve his puzzles

think it this way

if we didn't have this brain

we would not have been capable of solving his puzzles

living in his made world forever

like a child resting in his mothers arms forever

lost in the continuous heartbeats

with no care whatsoever

once in a while its good to cry

let your emotions overflow by

into little drops of wet salty water

shed some for each who have been deprived of some

give some to each who have been discriminated against

give some to each whose race , colour or birth proved problems

give some to each who was born with a problem

give some to each whose parents couldn't give enough

give some to each whose god couldn't give enough

i wish to give enough to each

go , i ask thee

what you could not give

let me

i dont ask the ability , il cultivate it myself

i just ask for the will that

my eyes will shed enough tears to quench the thirst all over

while the wolf sings to the moon

the little cricket chirps away

i feel grateful for our nature , the gods boon

the wise old owl preaches away as fireflies light our way

i wonder why man didn't find peace in what just he had

why the need for more arose

didn't this all lead to sadness ?

maybe did god in some freak of merriment

thought that if mans wants sufficed

who would remember the creator

thus god brew science with it want

where science and wisdom failed man remembered god

but how couldn't god foresee

his creation now going up in smoke

some time in the night i woke up to see

the illusion of life

to realize the truth

of reality of sadness

to see what real world actually was

what i used to believe and how made up it actually was

i though ams sorry now

that i saw it

i now want to forget

and return to my true ,which i now believe as false

SELF

after all i am but a child

a slaves predicament

sitting alone near the window

wanting to be like a bird free

wanting desperately to fly

but realizing the reality

seeing the chains in the hands and afoot

like the bird whose

wings have been cut off in cruelty

how happy is the man

who has got his own free will

as they say

until you starve you don't know the worth of a stomach filled

but still I own a human life

even if i'm treated like an animal

I can think and act as I think

imagine the plight of a real animal

life is measured in deeds and not in years they say,

woe begone be he

whose chest is too large for his heart

and may god bless

who has a chest be too small for his heart

hydrogen sulphide ,not carbon dioxide led to permian extinction .and it may lead to our extinction too

Global Warming Led To Atmospheric Hydrogen Sulfide And Permian Extinction

ScienceDaily (Mar. 1, 2005) — Washington, D.C. -– Volcanic eruptions in Siberia 251 million years ago may have started a cascade of events leading to high hydrogen sulfide levels in the oceans and atmosphere and precipitating the largest mass extinction in Earth’s history, according to a Penn State geoscientist.

"The recent dating of the Siberian trap volcanoes to be contemporaneous with the end-Permian extinction suggests that they were the trigger for the environmental events that caused the extinctions," says Lee R. Kump, professor of geosciences. "But the warming caused by these volcanoes through carbon dioxide emissions would not be large enough to cause mass extinctions by itself."

That warming, however, could set off a series of events that led to mass extinction. During the end-Permian extinction 95 percent of all species on Earth became extinct, compared to only 75 percent during the K-T when a large asteroid apparently caused the dinosaurs to disappear.

Volcanic carbon dioxide would cause atmospheric warming that would, in turn, warm surface ocean water. Normally, the deep ocean gets its oxygen from the atmosphere at the poles. Cold water there soaks up oxygen from the air and because cold water is dense, it sinks and slowly moves equator-ward, taking oxygen with it. The warmer the water, the less oxygen can dissolve and the slower the water sinks and moves toward the equator.

“Warmer water slows the conveyer belt and brings less oxygen to the deep oceans,” says Kump.

The constant rain of organic debris produced by marine plants and animals, needs oxygen to decompose. With less oxygen, fewer organics are aerobically consumed.

"Today, there are not enough organics in the oceans to go anoxic," says Kump. "But in the Permian, if the warming from the volcanic carbon dioxide decreased oceanic oxygen, especially if atmospheric oxygen levels were lower, the oceans would be depleted of oxygen."

Once the oxygen is gone, the oceans become the realm of bacteria that obtain their oxygen from sulfur oxide compounds. These bacteria strip oxygen from the compounds and produce hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide kills aerobic organisms.

Humans can smell hydrogen sulfide gas, the smell of rotten cabbage, in the parts per trillion range. In the deeps of the Black Sea today, hydrogen sulfide exists at about 200 parts per million. This is a toxic brew in which any aerobic, oxygen-needing organism would die. For the Black Sea, the hydrogen sulfide stays in the depths because our rich oxygen atmosphere mixes in the top layer of water and controls the diffusion of hydrogen sulfide upwards.

In the end-Permian, as the levels of atmospheric oxygen fell and the levels of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide rose, the upper levels of the oceans could have become rich in hydrogen sulfide catastrophically. This would kill most the oceanic plants and animals. The hydrogen sulfide dispersing in the atmosphere would kill most terrestrial life.

"A hydrogen sulfide atmosphere fits the extinction better than one enriched in carbon dioxide," says Kump. "Carbon dioxide would have a profound effect on marine life, but terrestrial plants thrive on carbon dioxide, yet they are included in the extinction."

Another piece in the puzzle surrounding this extinction is that hydrogen sulfide gas destroys the ozone layer. Recently, Dr. Henk Visscher of Utrecht University and his colleagues suggested that there are fossil spores from the end-Permian that show deformities that researchers suspect were caused by ultra violet light.

"These deformities fit the idea that the ozone layer was damaged, letting in more ultra violet," says Kump.

Once this process is underway, methane produced in the ample swamps of this time period has little in the atmosphere to destroy it. The atmosphere becomes one of hydrogen sulfide, methane and ultra violet radiation.

The Penn State researcher and his colleagues are looking for biomarkers, indications of photosynthetic sulfur bacteria in deep-sea sediments to complement such biomarkers recently reported in shallow water sediments of this age by Kliti Grice, Curtin University of Technology, Australia, and colleagues in the Feb. 4 issue of the journal, Science. These bacteria live in places where no oxygen exists, but there is some sunlight. They would have been in their heyday in the end-Permian. Finding evidence of green sulfur bacteria would provide evidence for hydrogen sulfide as the cause of the mass extinctions.

A wayfarer says to god

in the deep shadows of the rainy July,

with secret steps,thou walkest,

silent as night ,eluding all watchers.

today the morning has closed its eyes,

heedless of the insistent calls of the loud east winds,

and a thick veil has been drawn over the ever wakeful blue sky.

the woodlands have hushed their songs.

and the doors are shut at every house.

thou art the solitary wayfarer in this deserted street.

oh my only friend,

my best beloved,thegates are open in my home-do not pass by like adream.

art thou abroad on this stormy night on the journey of love, my friend?

the sky groans like one in despair.

i have no sleep tonight.

ever and again i open the door and look out in the darkness, my friend.

i can see nothing be fore me.

i wonder where lies thy path!

by what dim shore of the ink black river,

by what far edge of the frowning forest,

through what mazy depth of gloom art though threading thy course

to come to me ,,my friend?

-----Rabindranath tagore

the answer to the wayfarers questions

even if the shadows of the rainy July may be deep

even if the night may be silent,

they make the dawn more beautiful

they make the chirp of the bird more cheerful

it is you who feels the morning has closed its eyes

remember ,mans most dangerous weapon is courage and hope

do not think as a thick veil has been drawn over the ever wakeful blue sky

take it as a challenge and remember the spring that comes after the winter

the woodlands may have hushed their song

the doors may be shut at every house

but i am not all alone

millions like you follow after me

my loyal follower

i am right inside

just look around

we close the door after the guest comes in

you need to just open your eyes and hope to see me inside your house

i am not abroad ,i am right in your heart

i am with you in the journey of life

console my disciples ,so that the sky wont seem to be groaning in despair

sleep peace fully ,now that you know i am there

your path will reveal itself as you move forward.

even if the path is dark,there is always the candle of hope

i lead the path through the ink black river of evil

the far edge of the frowning forest of corruption

and the mazy depth of cunning.

for you and only you ..

It was a sleepless night,the night of the full moon

the light streaming in,from the window

like a homeless poor soul,wanting a shade for the night

on the night of the full moon.

Under the starry sky over the hills yonder,

could hear the wolves singing the praises of the moon,

right on the night of the full moon.

could hear a cart or a two pass by ,

in the bright of the starry sky,

could hear the crickets a chirping,

on the night of the full moon.

over the hill yonder,

on that night,

saw four backs pass

steal into a house,

on the night of the full moon.

then the 4 backs

stole out with four sacks

on the night of the full moon

the sound of the hooves

still rings in my ears

with the thought should i report?

'coz the four laden sacks

contained gold to be used for the poor

for the backs were none other than

Every one in the remotest parts of the world will know Einstein and what he did.Every guy who is in middle or higher school will know Copernicus stated that the sun is the center of the solar system.Everyone will know Galileo said the earth is a sphere.But i ask,who knows kanaad?how many of you reading this knew what he did?who knows bhaskaracharya?even the spell checker in this program gives a wrong to these above names!! I do not blame you for not knowing,I blame your tendency,I blame the media,I blame the system of education.I say Leonardo may be great , Copernicus may be great,Newton may be great,but the person who wrote the Vedas,Bhaskaracharya ,Valmiki,Chanakya,these are the real heroes they are our heroes.

I do not say the renaissance people were any less.But it is our fault that no one knows about them.

I say why are our children learning so much about the western culture when Indian culture contains all the good things of the world over!!!, Indian history and culture is so vast that whole american and European culture put together wont equal it .a child from first grade knows who George bush is but does not know who chaanakya is .so,,,

consider this as a speech by any great personality and try to do something .so our traditions ,save our culture,save our history,save the true Indian.

this is wrong friends.help my cause and

From around 40,000 at the turn of the last century, there are just 1411 tigers left in India. What started as a Royal Sport during the olden times is now a target of Poaching and Depleting Habitat. Our National Animal is fighting for its life!

The rich biodiversity and natural capital of India can be witnessed in the Tiger Sanctuaries. Knowledge of these sanctuaries helps build awareness for the cause.

Tiger Facts

From around 40,000 tigers at the turn of the last century, there are just 1411 tigers left in India.2009 was the worst year for tigers in India, with 86 deaths reported.There are 37 Tiger sanctuaries in India. However, 17 sanctuaries are on the verge of losing their tiger population.Corbett National Park is the oldest tiger park in India. It was created in 1936 as ‘Hailey National Park’.The Kanha National Park’s lush sal and bamboo forests, grassy meadows and ravines provided inspiration to Rudyard Kipling for his famous novel, The Jungle Book.
