AN 'EXPERIMENT' GONE WRONG!


I am not an expert in science, I'm scared of physics and chemistry. I had a tough time learning Chemistry. My teacher and my mom used to tell me that, "any thing learned practically will stay long in mind". So I though of learning physics and chemistry practically. I started experimenting with all the articles I got; a screw, magnet, water, salt, spoon, egg, even a nail polish too!

One fine day I was trying to apply nail polish which was dry. I couldn't get the polish since it was dry and I decided to heat it; because I remembered we heat wax to melt it, thinking nail polish is made of wax! Since my mom doesn't allow me to play with fire, I secretly stole a match box and went out to experiment. I burnt the match stick and put it in the nail polish bottle. The light went off! "Ah! I discovered that nail polish doesn't have oxygen! What a great discovery? I have become a little scientist," I thought.

I immediately called my friends, sister and my mother and showed my experiment. I burnt a match stick again and put it in the bottle; it went off again. Then I gave some stupid explanations and put a matchstick again and it started burning!

Everyone started scolding me and I felt ashamed of my stupidity. I took a note of my mistake and learnt what is nail polish really made of.

I understood that nothing should be half done and nothing should be half learnt. From then I used to learn everything perfectly and understand the real concept behind every action.

Even now, if I think the incident I laugh. For my 'interest' in science!!!

Missed Call... Missed Cab..


I'm working in night shift and my shift timing is 2.30 AM to 11.30 AM. I used to go to office by office cab and they used to pick me at my home at 1.30 AM. Every day I get a wake up call from transport at 12.30 AM but I used to get up early at 12.00 AM itself.

One day unfortunately I slept off and missed my cab! I was so tired and snoozed my alarm and slept off. my mobile was on silent mode that day so dint pick up the wake up call...

At around 1.48 AM I woke up, saw 3 missed calls. Really shocked.. I called the transport people and they said they moved the cab. hmmm.... I spoke with my Team lead, Transport supervisor and at last reached office at 5.30 AM . Fortunately I dint get any blasting for My TL!!!

First experience, Missed call and missed cab!!! I'm now making sure that my mobile is not in silent mode while sleeping and also advising my friends to do the same.

ACCIDENT


One day I was returning home from college after completing my exam. I came by bus. It was afternoon around 2.oo so hardly few people were there in the bus so the travel was little boring. While the bus was moving in OMR (Old Mahabalipuram Road) there was a couple going by bike. They were going close by our bus.

The girl was not so good looking but still she was pretty since she was newly married. I like blue and that lady was wearing a cute blue sari. I was looking at her sari (little jealous) suddenly there was a jerk and the bus stopped making a hell a lot of noise. An accident!

The new couple was unfortunately hit by a car and fortunately escaped with injuries. The bus driver was very careful enough and applied the brakes. Else the lady would have been hit hardly. I should appreciate the driver! The lady was bleeding badly and her new nose ring broke and blood was oozing out.

Our bus moved from the place and it took nearly 15 min for me to become normal. I felt little guilty for the incident. You know why? I was feeling a little jealous about the cute blue sari, which after the accident became dirty and torn! I felt sorry!
