Saturday

Its been quite some time since I am actually at home watching the tv and just relaxing. Since the time I moved to Charlotte, each weekend has been a fun filled crazy weekend with a lot to do. Either its been us at the friends or the friends over at us. And the last two months have been even more fun. My Ma is here with us...so its kinda like payback time :D...

Remember how as children we hate so many decisions our parents make. Be it the pink pant that they think fits perfectly great on you or the ban on cricket or just the scolding and abolishment of anything we thought was cool... well.. now that she is here.... everything I do seems to be just fine.. she even defends me when the wifey says something about something that I shouldnt have anyways done in the first place.

Things kind of take a full circle hyperbolic round turn ....and it always amuses me. Its just something that you cant control when it happens but after its done its stuff you just seem to be perfectly all right with it. The soaring gas prices, inflation, economy concerns...I was kind of really shaken at the way things were going initially, but it doesnt seem to bother the rest of our generation. I mean at the rate we are going, is it really worth bringing in another generation? What are we giving them? But then the other thought came to mind. The answer. Science, we dont ever give up do we? We develop invisible shields, sound shields, we would soon develop a more efficient way to generate energy. Necessity breeds Innovation. This has always been the mantra of Mankind and Life on Earth and it will prove itself this time again.

I thought about it myself? So what do we do right now? Burn coal, create steam, get turbines whirring, let the magnets do their stuff to the coils of copper and lo! electircity. Nuclear? Same concept, burn atoms (metamorphically) create steam, blah blah... ok ok... the latest thing going around... the talk of the town... Gas/Petrol/Oil... burn oil, create pressure, get pistons whirring, let the gears do their stuff and lo! transportation / production / irrigation / construction... and all other things that depend on the great thermal cycle of whats called as the petrol engine. Whats the key point to all of this? Efficiency? we havent been producing energy efficiently. So theres our first necessity.. increase efficiency... what next? What about all the heat we produce? we waste it .. what happens when we waste it... it goes in the atmosphere... heats the earth and sits there.... maybe someone will develop a machine that harnesses heat energy to create electricity.. soon enough we may not need air conditioners...

Well .. when I could think of all such things.. then I think .. some scientist out there must be definitely on his way to these things.. the earth would be saved once again by science..tantanaaaaaa

Alright... enough of ramblings....back to just enjoying the plain old saturday....
