Hubble - Edge Of The Universe

Farthest end of Universe Man has ever seen

This photo was taken in 2003 by the Hubble space telescope. This is the second time Hubble has looked deep inside the universe since 1995. It constantly looked deep into the space for 28 days and what it captured then was the most important picture ever taken for mankind. Its the farthest of Universe we have ever seen.

Edge Of The Universe

If you are thinking those bright dots as stars then think again . They are not . Infact each of them , each single , bright or dim , every single dot here in this picture is a galaxy , and each galaxy has millions of stars in it. Now think with me for a moment . There would have been millions of stars having planetary system , and many system have planet like earth also. So who knows many other civilization would have been flourishing in another corner of this universe . May be they are also searching for life in universe like us , may be their science is much more ahead of us, and may be They have also seen Our Earth from their planet from their own space telescope whose name is also Hubble or Bubble or Dubble.. .. .. They may know that life may be present at Earth because of its position in solar system but couldn't verify it. And they may call Earth Planet Number HD4765 x 1015 .. Interesting, isn't it !!! :)



Update:26 Oct 2008 (Farthest Galaxy)

I was watching Hubble-15 years of Discovery documentary earlier today and thought of updating my post from my new gained knowledge from there. Want to know which one of these galaxies in the above image is the farthest???

See this image below.

Farthest Galaxy Ever Seen (NICMOS detected the Infra-Red Light)

Hubble telescope has many instruments on board. Two of these are are ACS and NICMOS camera. NICMOS camera detects Infrared Light. The expanding universe has weaken the lights from these objects so much that they are now only visible to Infrared wavelengths.

Two separate images were taken by Hubble . One from ACS camera and another from NICMOS camera. According to the Documentary the Red dot which appears in the NICMOS camera is the farthest galaxy ever seen.

The audience of Eden Gardens Kolkata

Thank God the boys of Sharukh saved the day or It would had resulted a riot in the stadium. The match was between IPL's Kolkata Knight Riders and Hydrabad Deccan Chargers, dated 20th April 2008. I missed my train to Dumdum and therefore missed the first 5 overs also. I stepped out of Esplanade metro and started running as i was already 5 mins late. Even at 4:30 PM thousands of people were hanging outside the stadium without tickets looking here and there for an extra ticket. I Quickly entered my gate Block 4 / C which was heavily guarded by local police and RAF.

75000 People in the stadium.

Now came the worst . There was no seat to sit. can u believe it . Can u believe ittttt.. Hundreds of people were standing in between the rows holding their valid ticket in hand while others were sitting on their seat . There was no solution to this. Its like first come first sit. Seat reservations are useless in Eden. Block C is the worst block as in evening Sun gets directly on your face. And in that 41 degree celcius I was in no mood to watch that match as their was no seat to sit in that hot summer. Nothing was going in my head . For 15 minutes i didnt knew who's who there in the field. I dont know what enjoyment the stadium management was getting by turning off the big screen which is generally used to show close ups of player and scorecard. That screen was big enough to display everything clearly to each and every audience. But yesterday it was just blackened out . Instead of that two small screen were placed by the Sharukh's Red Chillies Entertainment group which were not visible from side directions. I also changed my mind to go back home and watch it on TV but then fortunately i got a seat.

Some guys in B block above us brought "Dhol Nagada" and they started playing their own tunes. Red Chillies Entertainment loudspeakers were just Awesome. I have never felt sound like this before, as I was clearly feeling the vibrations in my seat and in my whole body. They DJ was playing Sharukh movie numbers and Cheer girls from both team were tapping their feet on 5 the mini stages around the field. Anyhow the first session passed of which not a single thing got inside my head. I came out and took water . For the second session i grabbed a good seat for myself and from their the TV screen was quite visible as per viewing the scores. And fortunately the person sitting next to me was sitting with his small daughter and they were Deccan Supporters from Andhra Predesh... So they were not shouting and disturbing as others as Deccan Chargers were not giving them any chances to chill.

Deccan Chargers getting ready for fielding.

The whole setup of Eden Gardens was a lazy one.. Even the pitch . The pitch curator was a fool of not watering the pitch in this hot summer. I thought it will be high scoring match as the Deccan Chargers have a very strong batting line up. But they all collapsed in 110 runs. Knight riders also suffered the same fate in the starting and the match which we first thought will be a one sided win for Knight went on to a nail biting battle on a dusty pitch. When Symonds came near the boundary everybody from my block stood up and waved their arms. And then the most funny thing I saw. Symonds actually tapped his feet with hands up for a few seconds. He actually danced .. hehe .. But then the rudeness of Kolkata audience appeared. Some guys from another block started shouting the M* word for Symonds. And slowly they were joined the by whole block chanting loudly that. I really felt very bad. But theres nothing we can do .. "Yeh Kolkata ka public hai dada". Wait there still more drama to come. When the match was in a crucial situation the lights of Eden Gardens went off . And suddenly the ground went little dark. Match remain suspended for 30 mins for light to come. In the meatime we were enjoying , dancing to the tracks echoing all over the stadium.

Lights went off from 1 tower.

The match finished quickly after it resumed as Hussy banged sixes and fours all over the ground. I think David Hussy took some energy drink in this 30 minutes break. hehe.. Lot of VIPs were there in the stands as what we heard but they were barely visible. Next time i will take a D block seat to get close to them. With all this day long harassment , difficulties i still love to go to the stadium . Its feels great singing , chanting slogans , making Mexican Waves(one of my fav. activity) with others.

Next match is on 29th. This time i will buy a Rs 110 ticket as there is no profit in buying a Rs350 ticket and not getting a good seat to sit. Also will reach the stadium 1 hour earlier this time. So this was a match summery from an eye of an audience in Eden Gardens. Everthing seems to be glittering in TV for the Asia's biggest stadiun but the fact really is that the stadium is not well managed, and watching a match there is not a pleasurable thing to do. Par kya kare , majboori hai , we love cricket.

Going to Stadium for IPL Match

Today 18th april 2008 BCCI launched IPL and what a spectacular first match was. At least for one side . It was fun watching demolition of Vijay Malya's Bangalore Royal Challengers by our Sharukh's Kolkata Knight Riders. Brendon McCullum just stole the entire show and my heart too . I never knew that he is such a dangerous batsman. I thought the main damage will be done by Pointing but McCullum hit the right chord. Sixes after Sixes and he hit 13 sixes of the total 14 .

Now as the next match is going to be in Kolkata so I am not going to miss that LIVE. The next match is on 20 april, after 2 days. I am goin to buy a ticket tomorrow. Well my friends already booked their seat. I have always been a late bloomer . Anyways my last experience in Eden Garden was a disaster as it was a waste of money watching Men In Blue getting their ass kicked by South Africa. But this time its IPL . And I want a rocking show by McCullum again.

I will update here if I go to the match.

Anger within me or in southeast corner !!

Since last 8 - 9 months i have been quite disturbed in myself. I feel like lot of anger bubbling inside my chest. My sleep pattern has also changed. I have become an unsocial person. Its been 1 year we have been shifted in our new house,our own house. Since last February 2007 i haven't even spoken with my closest neighbor. I have stopped talking with strangers also. Never speak with anyone in train , just go to college and come back quietly. Even some of our neighbors don't know that a boy lives in this house and they think that my parents have only one daughter.

I am not a superstitious guy but then also sometimes I think that this is all happening with me because of my room which is in the exact South-East corner of the building. According to Vastushastra the southeast corner is called Agney Cone means Direction of fire and this place should be left empty or a kitchen can be made in this corner. Its a strict no no for bedroom , the consequences are very dangerous as mind becomes hot in this room leading to anger,instability,tension,stress, etc etc. I told my parents of not making a room here but as always they ignored me. When the house building was completed my sis told that she wants this room. I thought that this room will be very bad for her so i told her to exchange my room and i came to this room thinking everything will be all right .

First two months went well as i used to study everyday and even managed to get a job in my campus placements. But then it all started . First my interest from the studies faded away. I started working on making websites and It made me quite addicted to internet . My Internet bill started to rise every month ranging from 4000 to 7000 PM for which i used to get good lessons from my parents. And the worst thing is I was becoming an angry man day by day. Once i called police when few little children broke the window of my house while playing cricket. Another day I shouted on them very loudly and crushed their plastic cricket ball.

This year I haven't stepped out a single inch out of my house for a week in Durga Puja. My parents, relatives , everyone went to the fairs and puja pandals but I didn't. Since last 1 year i didn't ate chicken which was one of my favorite. I don't eat fish also anymore, and whenever i passes along a fish market it makes me angry. I have started shouting on my Mom also. I feel like imposing orders whenever she says me something like go to bath, have dinner ,.. etc etc.

The electricity load shedding makes me wild as my computer turns off immediately as my ups is out of order. At that time I feel like breaking up things around me to calm me down. This same thing happened day before yesterday. I broke one of my two Rubic Cubes. Actually i just switched on my PC after light came. I was already in bad mood as i was doing some important work and light went off. And that time my sis came in room and just stood near the door. She asked me why I am so quite. When she said this I felt like throwing my PC over her. I was fuming for simply the reason of load shedding. I said her that I am not in a mood to talk and get lost from here. She said nothing and turned away but while she was going back my anger was just about to burst . I looked around for something to throw and saw that Rubic cube. I was just out of control and I threw it to her. Well she was lucky that it didn't hit her but it got into pieces after colliding with the wall.. Now my favorite Rubic Cube was out in pieces in the floor in front of me which i had bought while returning from the Gangtok Tour last December. But frankly speaking i enjoyed that moment as after breaking that stuff i was feeling light and calm but after few mins i realized the loss.

I don't know is this happening to me because of this room . Mere saath hi kyun hota hai. Now I just want to get out of this house as soon as possible . I even feel scared of everything in this room , even of Ceiling fan . I cant sleep while its running . I feel that it will fall upon me if I go to sleep. I cant even code programs now a days.. Feels like distraction in myself everytime i start to write some program...hmmmmmm May , June , July .. I just want to survive these three months in this house with this anger. After that i shall fly out of here to Pune may be, lets see where my company sends me.

Do you know any such kind of problem associated with rooms in South -East corner of a building. If yes then please leave a comment and share with me.

A day in water - Aquatica Water Park

Yesterday 13th of April 2008 I with some of my friends went to Aquatica after 4 years since we planned to go there in 2004, but couldn't make it for some reason.

We reached there early morning at around 11 AM. Well as this trip was not planned well, we did few mistakes which i think will not do it again if we go there next time. We hadn't taken any towel or any extra underwear.. :P .. so took swimming costumes on rent from a costume counter, did a mild bath as it is compulsory before entering in pool.

The first pool is small and two small rides are there. The water was warm and it was great feeling. There were lot of people around there and specially girls.. :P watching pretty girls in swimming costume was fun too.

Anyways as always my fun starts with a disaster. I hurt ed my left foot heel badly while doing a water ride. This is same fucking foot which get hurts every time if i am up to some kinda fun. The first time was when i went for the movie LOC premier in Chandigarh and i banged my foot outside that hall. Second time in 2004-05 New year's party and i felt over stairs after taking 1,2,3,4,... pegs of vodka. Anyways as this time i was lucky as the pain was in my heel and not in ankle i was able to walk properly , of course with pain, but no worries i am used to pain now a days and thought of enjoying my day to the fullest despite of heel injury.

There is a big pool in which artificial waves were created. We went in that pool which was already over crowded but it was fun.The water was clean and warm and those waves were awesome. For the moment i just forget all the problems of mine and was floating on the waves listening to groovy tracks by DJ Mansoor on the console and idiotic jokes by the stage anchor Rush. Watching stage dance shows while staying in pool was simply mind blowing experience.
Then came the fashion show and one by one chicks catwalked on the stage with their latest fashion robes , but who was interested in watching dresses in the pool. we were watching those blonds. Screaming, shouting, whistling.. hehe.. there were around 200 - 300 people there in that pool that time, well the pool is really big.

We then did our lunch in a restaurant inside Aquatica. It was weird eating in a restaurant wearing only a swimming costume and ordering food items while you are half naked .. lol . After doing lunch we went for the rides, some scary rides.All the water rides are really fun and well as scary. It will make u feel like "this is the last few seconds of your life" , and then suddenly you will come out of nowhere from those scary water pipes,tunnels and drop into the pool...bang with a relief that your are still alive and are going to do that ride again.

Whole day went up doing these things only, staying in water and watching girls. Evening came and we went back to the Bog pool as the stage was again set for more dance shows. The DJ was back with new tracks. That last 2 hours in that pool is one of the most unforgettable memory of my life. It was mad mad world there. We were dancing in pool. The Sitansu brought a ball from somewhere and we started playing water volleyball. Murti was learning Swimming. I think the most happiest person in our group would be Murti because he just loves water, cant live without bathing 3 times a day.. hehe. Tulu, Murti and me were competing for most time staying underwater. Tulu won. Mr.Krit was busy in watching girls and Aunties.He went to the families and ladies section and stayed there hours waiting to touch some babe.. Tharki kahin ka. Our eyes were red by that time , feet and fingers got flacid by water, but we were still enjoying in the pool. Everyone there was living their best part of life. We stayed there till the last sound of music played and then everything faded out. It was around 6:00 PM people started coming out of the pool as it was time to close Auqatica.So the day full of fun ended here. In way to home a hail storm came and i was fully drenched in rain and some good knock of hails on my head while coming to Bidhannagar station.

Whole day i was in water , so I was not scared of this rain anymore. Yesterday i just loved getting wet in rain. Sometimes I wonder Fishes are so lucky to live in water.Everything is smooth there, you don't have to push things hard to get it work like in our world.
Anyways we are now planning to make a trip again before leaving college. Unfortunately we didn't took any cameras so no pictures.Next time we will.
