I know it all.. your opinion doest matter

I don't know if its me or its just the people around me, but I seem to come across too many narcissistic people lately. They have a very high opinion about themselves and most annoyingly they have this "I know it all" attitude which in my opinion is the most annoying characteristic to ever have. I fucking hate that! The problem with people having that kind of attitude is that they will never be listeners. Forget about being good listeners, they just will not listen. They are so fucking hell bent on trying to push their opinion onto people that even if the opposing person has a correct point, they just refuse to let him/her even put across their point and they just blatantly deny it. That's just plain fucking insanity and I don't even know what word to use for such assholes.

My nerves are already frayed today morning because of lack of sleep and this incredibly annoying person comes across and tries to give me some gyan about some bullshit. The idiot doesn't trust any thing or anyone (fucking trust issues) and yet has the audacity to come and tell me about some bullshit that they apparently "googled". Given a chance I would punch them right in the face and beat the shit out of them but I'm in a professional environment and unfortunately cannot do that. I would love to scream some obscenities at them but even that I have to control. Phew! Self control is a difficult thing. Who ever came up with the reverse counting technique, it doesn't seem to work in my case.

From the advent of FB and other social networking sites, people  have become so about themselves that all they care about is telling their story. There are people who would like to be heard as well, but nooo, everyone is like "let me tell you my story first" and then if I'm interested I'll listen to yours which more often than not, doesn't happen. I was recently telling something to a friend of mine and she suddenly started off telling me about her sorry story and completely ignored the fact that I had to say something. I eventually had to cut my story short and end the conversation abruptly. I am a good listener, but I would also like to be heard at time. This is not happening thanks to some shit ass people with whom I dono why I even talk. Fucking retards.

Smart phones making us dumber

Ive recently noticed that my memory power has taken a huge toll. I cant seem to recollect things instantly, I find it hard to remember phone numbers or email addresses and most importantly I cant seem to keep my focus and attention on one thing for too long. I dont blame it on age, im not that old yet to forget things, I blame it on the smart phones that we carry.

Gone are the days when we tried to remember stuff, phone numbers, birthdays and some important details. Everything now is noted down on the easy to use smartphones for future reference. While on the one side it is good, as everything is noted down and wont be missed but on the other side it is killing our innate ability to remember things. Our brains and the gray cells in them are being deprived of some much needed exercise which is a disaster in the making. Just imagine, when was the last time you calculated something in your head and not have to pull out your phone and use the calculator on it? Not so long ago additions, multiplication subtractions and other such calculations could be easily done in the head without using any calculating device. Can you imagine doing the same now?

Apart from making us dumb, smart phones are also detaching us from real world, in simple words they are making us Anti-social. I was recently at a pub with friends and this is what I saw. 4 guys at the table and instead of just talking to each other and laughing together and having fun, this is what they were doing. Lost in their phones. All the social media applications that can so easily be accessed via the smart phones are keeping everyone hooked on to the virtual world and disconnecting them from the real world. I dont blame social media for this, it has really helped a great deal in making the world a smaller place. Its the constant need and desire to get online is what is ruining everything.

All people want to do is go on to Facebook, checkout what others are doing and posting on FB to tell the world about the fun they are having instead of actually having fun.The first thing that most people do these days after going out is check-in at that place and tag all the people they are with and add with it a tacky comment "Having fun with - XXX at YYY". After this they will come back again to check how many people liked it and if anyone commented on it, reply to it and that cycle goes on. Its not only making us anti social, its actually making us socially awkward. We are so used to having all these virtual conversations that when it comes to talking face to face, we have no idea where to start or how to keep a conversation going. Sad state of affairs. 

Another disturbingly regular routine seems to be this: Unlock phone, check whatsapp, switch to FB and scroll a little, then switch to instagram, another round of scrolling, then snapchat, another round of scrolling, not finding anything interesting and lock back the phone. 5 mins pass and the cycle repeats. I mean what madness is that? Whats with the desperation to keep checking all these things all the time? I don't have words to express how disgusted I feel when I see this routine (not that im snooping around or something. You just get to see the person right in front of you do all this). I personally don't do this, I'm either reading a book or just thinking about something while on the commute but definitely not this.

This constant switching between different applications is also robbing us of the ability to concentrate and keep focus on one thing for too long. You keep switching from one task to another just like how you switch from one application to another and there by reducing productivity. Not one task is ever worked on at one stretch. This really isn't a good sign. I have personally fallen prey to this. I recently had the good fortune of not having to carry my phone for two days and I must say it was such a relief. My hand was really itchy to reach into my pocket for my phone. Luckily it wasn't there and I really got a lot more work done those two days as compared to any other days. It was a welcome change.

The fix: This is what I would suggest and will personally try this week. We obviously cant go around without the phones, the least we can do is switch off the WiFi and mobile data. Keep it off for at least a few hours and focus on the task at hand. With the connectivity gone, the phone wont keep buzzing all the time with notifications from different applications. No buzzing means no itchiness to check the phone. No checking phone means more useful work done. Sounds simple doesn't it? Im gonna try this for a week. Lets see how it goes.

So pluto is back in our geography text books as the 9th planet

So, we found that pluto isn't that small a planet after all and that it has a heart shaped cloud formation on it. It cannot be ignored and that its worthy enough to be called a planet again. Thats great news. How far is pluto from earth? Billions of light years away. And we have the technology and the know how to look so far into space and identify an uninhabitable planet and some of its properties. It is proof of the technological prowess that we humans possess and also bigger proof that there is infact a creator, I call God, who made the entire universe. The whole big bang theory is something people made up when they couldn't explain how we all came into existence.

I'm just kidding, but yeah, it is proof that we are just a small insignificant little thing in this amazing universe. I'm reminded of what Calvin said in the famous cartoon strip Calvin and Hobes, he says that "The surest sign that there is intelligent life beyond the earth is that they didn't try to contact us".
I find that really funny and so true. We are only aware of the known universe, who knows what else is out there. There could really be aliens or another human race somewhere which is trying to achieve the same feat as we are.

Anyways, getting back to the matter at hand, the re-discovery of Pluto is celebration of the greatness of human beings and the incredible advancements we have made in the field of space technology. It is an incredible mark in human history, but where is the ill-fated MH370? 

Its been about a year I guess since this flight just disappeared into thin air and we still haven't found any evidence whatsoever that it has crash landed or about where it might be at this moment. My condolences to the family members who lost their loved ones in the flight. I feel they would live a more peaceful life if they could at-least get an answer about what exactly happened to the flight. After all closure in anything is so important. There are many rumors or in fact there are conclusions that the flight has crash landed somewhere, but where?

I find it utterly incredulous that we have the technological know how to find out about something in the unknown depths of space that to be frank doesn't have any significant impact on our lives, but we aren't able to use atleast a fraction of that same technology to find out about a missing flight somewhere on the known circumference of the earth. Its just beyond words.

Well that's just my thought after seeing all the news about Pluto.

P.S : This little write up, by no means takes away any credit that NASA deserves for this incredible feat. Its just a thought about how I (and im sure many more)  feel about MH370 mystery.

Peace :)

Bahubali Movie Review : An honest opinion about an Epic movie

The much hyped and the much awaited movie of the century, Bahubali is here and I had the opportunity to watch it last weekend. It is touted to be the most costliest Indian movie ever. There was extensive use of CGI (Computer generated Images) and a lot of hype about how the protagonist and the Antagonist in the movie had worked really hard to attain certain physique specifically for this movie. Well that's anyways the norm these days, look different for each movie. And to check out what all the hype and noise was about this movie, I finally watched it last weekend. A last moment booking but I'm glad I did. Mind you, the only difference was that I didn't check-in on FB while at the theater to let the world know im watching the movie at that moment, you'll get to know shortly why I added this one important piece of information in this review.

So to begin with, I have to say it was an incredible effort by S.S Rajamouli to come up with this idea, put in so much hard work and finally make it a reality. This happens to be the only movie to make Rs. 100 crores in record time. It took only about a week to get there. A very commendable effort.  I just couldn't identify a single flaw in the movie, the actors were amazing, the direction, the CGI used, the whole set up, story line everything, everything was spell bounding. The fact that it comes from Tollywood, the Telugu film industry is a matter of pride.

Prabhas, Rana, Anushka, Tamanna and specially Ramya Krishna did a spectacular job. It was so nice to see Ramyakrishna back to acting. The movie was deliberately made in two parts. The first part was ended so abruptly that it left the audience with a hunger to find out what happens in the second part. A master stroke again by a master director. The story line was great, the songs were so so, but the direction was spotless.

The Actors: A lot of hype was created about how Rana and Prabhas worked their asses off to attain a specific physique. Good job I tell you, but it was more mass than definition. I personally work out tremendously and in my point of view, all they did was just widen the torso(the coveted V) and developed huge shoulders and arms, but no visible definition. Its a personal opinion but kudos to the actors for all the dedication and hard work.
The highlight of the movie for me was Ramyakrishna, the power she showed in her acting was speechless, worthy of many of those prestigious awards. In fact, her acting was so good that I had good pimples in one of the scenes where she admonishes the character Nasir plays for trying to influence her to do something against her will.

The screenplay and direction: SS Rajamouli, take a bow, you have really overtook everyone else and brought out a masterpiece. This is one movie which will be talked about for a long long time. I will not go into technicalities or the storyline because I don't want to mess it up for anyone who is yet to watch the movie.Overall an incredible effort and surely a feather in the hat of the indian film industry. It is proof that we dont always make hero or heroine oriented movies and that we can push the boundaries and make epic movies like this.

What did I think about the movie? Personally it was a little bit of a meh moment for me. For a regular Hollywood movie watcher, this is just another one of those highly animated movies. The resemblances to the movie Troy were just uncanny. The epic war scene, the boundary of soldiers to take on the oncoming enemy, all of it looked very similar to how it was done in Troy. I know I shouldn't be drawing comparisons like this, its just that when you could use such high level of graphics and everything else, why not break boundaries and make something different. Of-course for a regular non-Hollywood movie watcher this is surely an epic and since that was anyway the target audience, it worked great. We are now comparing ourselves to other film industries and so I feel that with all the available technology and most importantly the budget, they should do something which was never done before. This could actually act as a platform over which they can build better movies. Magadhira was the first such period movie the sorts of which was never seen before. It deserved to be the hit that it was, Bahubali also falls in the period movie category what with all the kings and queens and epic battles but apart from the fact that the level of graphics was more, it was ok. A lot better could be done.

So overall I would say this is one of the most amazing movies I have ever watched. Extraordinary considering it is from an Indian film industry. I would definitely recommend everyone I know to watch it in a theater.

Wishing all the success and awards that this incredible movie deserves and looking forward to the next part to be released in 2016.

The Hashtag (#) madness

I have noticed that in recent times there has been an incredible increase in the use of hashtags (#) on different social networks. As far as I remember, it was first started on Twitter to collate articles or discussions related to a particular topic. This was done by marking those topics by using specific hashtags. It has now trickled down to facebook and I must say, it is being misused and abused to the core. People are using it without even knowing how it works and all because they saw someone else do it and thought it was cool. Herd mentality I tell you.

To start with, lets understand how a hashtag works:

A hashtag is a type of label or metadata tag used on social network and microblogging services which makes it easier for users to find messages with a specific theme or content. Users create and use hashtags by placing the hash character (or number sign) # in front of a word or unspaced phrase, either in the main text of a message or at the end. Searching for that hashtag will then present each message that has been tagged with it.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashtag

So as you see, it was supposed to mark or collate topics related to a specific subject. This is now a days also being used for statistics. If you see any news channels, after any big event the first thing they report is the hashtag that is trending and have a discussions about that. The main problem at hand is ignored, just the hashtag and who all used that hashtag is all that seems to matter. I really dont see any point of such a statistic, but who am I to say. Today its the hashtag, tomorrow it will be something else and people will blindly follow it.

Talking about this in the facebook perspective, I dont know what goes through peoples mind when they hashtag the craziest of the things. Take for example a recent post by a friend of mine. She put a pic of her working out and put this huge hashtag saying "#shouldnthaveeatenthatpizzaforlunch, #burningofftheextracalories". How does that even make sense? Why would something as random as that trend in any social network? Whats the rationale behind using that phrase as a hashtag? You think there are other people who think they "shouldnt have eaten that pizza for lunch"? FB already gives you a hundred million options to let people know how you are feeling, where you are and whom you with and and a gazzillion other options, and that's still not enough. You still need a barrage of hashtags to tell people about all the extra feelings for which FB doenst have as a standard template. Madness I say, utter foolishness.

It makes sense if facebook pages (business, entertainment or stuff like that) make use of hashtags, it will draw traffic to a page there by increasing the reach, but for regular posts as well? Why? People are already paranoid about privacy. They have the highest security settings on FB and everywhere else and still they want to use hashtags which inherently draws attention to you. If people really cared about privacy that much, they should refrain from using these stupid hashtags. FB has ruined people by making them live in a virtual world and being more bothered about what others in a different part of the world are doing and not about the person sitting right beside you. That's another topic of discussion, you will soon see a post about that.  

So there, thats what I think about all your stupid hashtags. Please..oh damn, i dont even know what to plead for but you get the drift. The picture below summarizes my feelings perfectly.




 #hashtags #hashtagmadness #crazypeople #stupidpeople #herdmentality. There you go, my share of hashtags :P

The irony of life

Last night I was traveling towards Trivandrum and i couldn't help but notice these two couples sitting opposite to us in the train. One was an old couple and the other seemed newly weds. The old couple were sitting far from each other, not even looking at each other for a moment... while the younger couple couldnt keep their hands off each other. What a lovely contrast it seemed. We could see the present and the future both at the same time. I am sure the young couple will also end up like the other in no time, but the comparison was amazing.

I wonder why love between people dies down as time passed by. Responsibilities, tensions and other worries do take a major part of the time and love tends to take a back seat. I feel a right balance can be struck between emotions as well. Your tensed times can just be a part of your day insted of spending your entire day worrying about something or the other. In such situations i relly feel bad for the ladies. They are after all the foundations and the pillars of a family, they are the ones who keep the family together when the man is toiling it out in the open to bring home money. They are the ones who fill our stomachs and do all the dirty work at home. They deserve to be pampered and loved as much now as they were when they were young.

In current times I feel the kids should take the opportunity to take time out and send their ageing parents on a second or a third honeymoon to rekindle the love they shared ages ago. I sure plan to do it with my parents. So who ever reads this article, please do take time out and think and do something for you parents and let there be love everywhere.

Ass Lift !! - Swift + Dickey = Swift DZire

Wonder whats happening to car makers these days. Instead of coming up with new designs they are giving their cars an ass lift of sorts by just adding a dickey to a small car already existing in the market. Tata started the trend by introducing the Indigo which is just a cosmetic change to the Indica where they added a dickey to it and kept the remaining part of the car same. They didnt change the engine either. Now Maruti has done the same by introducing the Swift DZire which is a Swift+dickey. The interiors are the same and so is the engine. Tata atleast made the Indigo a little more spacious by increasing the wheel base, but Maruti has kept the wheelbase same which might lead to cramping of legs of the passenger in the rear seat.

The marketing strategy behind this small change is the relatively small change in the cost that the car makers will have to incur. By doing this they hope to price these cars aggressively which will give very tough competition to those mid segment cars which are already in the market. The Swift DZire has been brought as a replacement to the age old esteem which lead this segment for quite sometime. The introduction of the DZire could spell doom to cars like the Chevrolet Avio, the Mahindra-Renault Logan and even Tata Indigo because Maruti has been very aggressive as far as pricing is concerned and the after sales services of Maruti are also excellent.

What ever the market strategy people these days are looking for cars which have a modern design with excellent performance and they dont mind spending that little extra to get a car of that fits their needs. They dont want cars which just got an ASS-LIFT.

Its pay back time!! - Musharraf under the guillotine

Ex-President Parvez Musharraf made too many mistakes while he reigned over Pakistan. He used his power to the max when he dismissed judges who were against him. This act of his lead to his accelerated downfall. This dismissal coupled with the assassination of Benazir Bhutto was what lead to a steep fall in Musharraf's popularity. He was never in the good books of the Pakistanis. He was an ally of the US and was literally a puppet in their hands. He followed all that the US asked him to do and the US in return gave him protection, support and military power. Pakistan has a whole fleet of the very techincally advanced F-16's, while the Americans gave the Indians Sukhoy's and Mig's which are almost on the same level but not as good as the F-16's.

Musharraf tried his level best to not let democracy come into pakistan. He wanted to hold complete control over it by being both the president and also the army general, two of the most powerful positions. He tried all means but the unrest grew to such a level that he had to concede. He risked jeopardizing the whole of Pakistan. Hats off to the courage and determination of the people of Pakistan. They have finally succeeded in ousting Musharraf and restore democracy. It was a costly risk the opposition party took in which process a very dynamic and charismatic leader Benazir Bhutto had to die. Her soul will now rest in peace. Atleast all the efforts that she put into, the solid foundations that she laid and everything she ever dreamt of is finally materialising, although she would have loved to be here in person.

Musharraff is now in such a state that he is literally having to cajole the high powers. He is saying all kinds of nice things to try and gain some favour. He still hold the position of the Army General, the new government formed by the PPP with the PML-N lead by Nawaz Shariff as its ally have nominated Yusuf Raza Gillani for the PM candidate and once he comes into power, he vows to reinstate all the judges whom Musharraf had dismissed when he declared emergency in Pakistan. If these judges are reinstated Musharraf is in for some very harsh treatment. These judges will definitely raise a lot of charges against him for which Musharraf is sure to get convicted and might as well be imprisoned.

Pakistan has sure won a victory of sorts. Now it can avenge all the illtreatment that it had to go through when under Musharraf. The ball is now in the new domocratic Pakistan's court and Musharraf is now on the receiving side. His days are numbered.

Got to see what will happen to Musharraf now....

It happens only in India

This is a cliche that everyone uses to highlight strange things that happen only in India. Of the many such strange things the most striking one would be the fact that we Indians sometimes go totally out of our way to help a complete stranger. This is specially true when it comes to giving strangers directions to places. There are stories that people actually went along with the stranger all the way to where he wanted to go just coz he asked for directions. We Indians are basically very helpful at heart.

I got truck loads of this help when i needed it the most. It was on Good Friday and my family and i were on our way to church. There was a heavy downpour all of afternoon and the evening and the roads were flooded. We were on our way and my driver accidentally drove our car into a pit. He couldn't see it coz it was dark and moreover the pit was submerged in water. The front left wheel of our car fell into the pit and we were unable to drive out of it. There was no traction because of the mud and our car was a front wheel drive. It was kind of a slum area where this happened. All of a sudden, from no where people standing by came in droves to help us out of this predicament. They teamed up and literally lifted our car out of the pit and onto the road. None of those guys were actually strong or well built, it was just teamwork and total coordination. The "Team" included young kids in their teens, guys in twenties and even old people.They gave it one shove and our car was on the road. I was elated and so were they, they clapped and whistled while we drove away. I couldn't contain my joy. I only heard about such things happening but to experience it first hand was amazing. We got all the more help coz the people around were my dads patients. It was still pouring heavily but people did not hold back. It was an example of good will that people had on my dad. It was a moment of pride for me.

One more striking feature in this whole fiasco was the fact that my mom was standing on the road in the rain and a 10 year old kid had the mental maturity to actually give his umberella to my mom and stand in the rain himself. His presence of mind was out of this world. I just could not stop clapping and cheering these guys when they were putting it all out in helping us. They found my way of cheering them up very strange but i didn't mind it. I shook hands will all of them and thanked them for the help they offered. They were happy that i acknowleged their help.

This is one experience i will cherish throughout my life.

5 years of Uncalled for and Unnecessary suffering for the Iraqi's : The end doesnt seem near yet

Its been 5 years since America bombarded Iraq claiming that they had evidence that Iraq was harbouring weapons of mass destruction. The war still goes on. It has lasted 5 years and a ceasefire doesnt seem to be anywhere near. This war has lasted longer than the First World war, the Second World War and even the Civil War.

Current statistics show that there have been in excess of 550,500 deaths in Iraq so far. Another set of statistics puts Iraqi deaths since the US invasion at a whopping 1,189,173. These include both civilian and military deaths.

The cost to the national security has been immense – American military is stretched thin and its reputation in the world is damaged. And now, the war in Iraq has become a threat to the American economy, with its colossal cost to taxpayers taking them more deeply into debt.

Mr Bush, however, dismissed these as ‘exaggerated estimates’ and insisted that “the costs are necessary when we consider the cost of a strategic victory for our enemies in Iraq.”

The war on Iraq was “worth it,” in spite of the “loss of life and treasure,” said Mr Bush. What an imbecile !!

Iraq posed no threat to the people of the United States when it was brutally invaded. This was a war to dominate not only Iraq, but a strategic and oil-rich region.

The United States currently has about 160,000 troops in Iraq but is scheduled to reduce the number to 140,000 by summer. The cost of the war has crossed $3 trillion. This has had a very huge impact on the US economy.

The US has made itself many enemies by going into war with Iraq. It is this fear that is making them spend a lot more in the war and, this is what is making them reluctant in retreating because once the US turns its back... thats is, everyone will pounce on it and beat it to death. The moment they get their troops out of Iraq it will result in a huge backlash. Thats the situation that the US has put itself.

The US has so far spent more than $3 trillion on the war and they are not willing to spend even half of it on health care and education sectors. This has lead to the decline of Bush. The health care sector in the US is pathetic and needs urgent attention. That is the reason why both Hillary and Obama have made innumarable proposals to help bring up the health care system. Hillary had initially supported the war and now she proposes to bring back the troops withing 6 months of her coming into office. But i dont see that happening.

This will be a very difficult decision for the US. The Iraqi's hate the Americans so much that though they actually tried to help the Iraqi's to set up government, they did not come to a consensus.

The whole infrastructure in Iraq has been destroyed. Education has gone to dogs. I feel extremely sad for all the young people who dreamed of a good career and making it big in life but cannot do that now because of the war. I feel really sad for all the lives that have been lost there.


When i first saw the bombing in the news, i thought it was a movie. I could believe that what i was seeing on TV was actually happening. It took me a day to actually believe it. Whats even more revolting is that fact that Bush doesnt seem to have any sense of remorse for having done such an inhuman thing. Bush is actually proud of himself and he wants to consolidate on the gains they made. What gains?

He suspected that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, after the war it proves that America has more weapons of mass destruction than any other country. They caused such massive destruction in Iraq. All the countries of the world must now goto war with the Americans coz now its not a hunch, there is proof that Americans themselves have weapons of mass destruction.

There are graves spread all over Iraq which are so painful to look at. Some graves have tomb stones, these are graves of people whose relatives buried them. There are other graves where unidentified bodies have been buried and a piece of metal is placed as a tombstone. What a waste of life !!!

The people of Iraq are surviving because of their immense faith in God. When a press person had interviewed one of the survivers, they gave their comments on the war and said "Inshah Allah", which means God is in control. That faith is what is taking them forward.

I really hope that somehow Iraq gets back on its feet soon.

Viagra for dogs?

It is seriously strange to see what scientists are doing these days. They perform such strange and never thought of experiments. Wonder what drives them to do this and whats even more appalling is the idea. Dont know how they come up with such strange stuff. Good discoveries and inventions are appreciated. Actually all their work is amazing. Its just that some things that they do are so so strange that you will find these guys to be total weirdos, this coupled with their looks... well cant say much about it. No wonder they are called nerds and are picked on mostly in schools and colleges when in their student days.

I recently read this article in a science column in a news paper that scientists tried viagra on a dog to cure its heart disease. Now thats totally out of this world. Why would anyone in his sane mind want to try viagra on dogs !!! just unimaginable... I blew me away. Viagra is for impotent men... not for dogs... No wonder these guys are such freaks... but kudos to them for having found a medicine to cure a dog's heart condition, if it wasnt for their strange thinking this cure wouldnt have come by.

"Hantuchova beats Sania in straight sets" - Told ya

Well it happened exactly as I said it would. Sania mirza was beaten by Daniella Hantuchova in straight sets. Not so long ago there was news that she stormed through some round. Now she is out.

She is ranked 32 in the world not because she has won major tournaments, but because she came very near to either the Semi-finals or Quarter finals (Not finals).

If Sania really wants to be in the top 10, she has to slim down first and try and make it a little farther into the tournament. Its like crossing 50 in cricket and not being able to reach a 100. Wish her new coach helps her to go that extra mile.

Common Sania!!!

You only need an eye to start a business

Stress has been one of the major reasons for breakdown of a lot of young professionals these days. People are being payed huge unimaginable salaries and an equal amount of work is being extracted from them. People are literally putting their lives on the line. Its a tough world out there with ferocious competition, so people are pushing the physical limits to stay on the top. If all this work is coupled with equal amount of rest, then one can go on for longer. This very concept is being exploited well by a lot of companies who are coming up with all kinds of innovations which remove stress.

A recent and a very unique innovation was unveiled by Google in march. It introduced a ball kind of a thing in which the person sleeps. It cuts out all the light and sound so that the person in the ball can have a peaceful sleep. It is said that even one hour of peaceful and undisturbed sleep rejuvinates the whole body and lets you go on for hours on end. This contraption will definitely help in that cause.


People go to spas, massage centers and to all kinds of places to beat stress. People even take classes to eliminate stress and they charge huge amounts and the people who take these classes are more than willing to cough up that amount.

All that is needed to start a business or make money is a keen and observant eye. Look at what people want or are suffering from and innovate a device or an idea which eliminates it and voila you will be rich in no time.

So be on the look out. Who know you could be the next great inventor who turned a billionaire !!!
