The Alternate World
This post will take you to an alternate world, to a new planet. Fed on my imagination, I went on a search of this world. Here is collection of a few pictures which are the closest to my imagination. So, here you go...
1. Two moons in the sky & a sparkling unknown source of light.
2. A scene from a moon with its planet, another moon & its sun.
3. Sea of Serenity I-The Dusk.
4. Sea of Serenity II-The Daytime
5. Vision from a ringed planet's satellite- The Ultimate Beauty.
6. Vision from a ringed planet's satellite- The Sunrise.
7. Sea of Serenity III. In fact, there are 4 people in this picture.
8. A new satellite in the Earth's sky.
9. Sunrise & two moons
P.S. : There is still one imagination of mine whose depiction I was unable to find. Its about a planet with two 'Suns'. In our solar system there are couplets of stars who revolve around each other. I could not find any convincing picture showing this.
Also, these pics can be downloaded as wallpaper. Just click on them, after saving them you can set them as your wallpaper (1024 x 768 resolution).

It gives a nice feeling that we studied & comprehended the work of, who is now, a Nobel laureate.

Dialectic Commercialism!!!
It’s quite funny that these cellular companies invest so heavily in advertisements but fail to concentrate on minor details. Take the case of Idea cellular’s TV Commercial (TVC) featuring a monkey (may be a Langur, but I didn’t saw a long tail….I just know that they are not the same ones found near Stephens). The cell phone in use there is N 72, but the ringtone is monophonic & not polyphonic. Secondly, the monkey goes to a stadium, a park & all open places within the city limits where obviously signal would come. Or No!! Thinking of past reputation I think the presence of signal is a miracle (even if it is in the ad).
The ad is in response to the Airtel’s TVC where 3 girls are in
