In what time does the Alcohol goes to your head

I just read an article in The Hindu newspaper that alcohol goes to one’s head really fast in just six minutes. This brought me memory of my engineering college days in Karnataka where some of my friends just thinking about the alcohol or with one or two sips will make them full ON & OUT. I had lot of fun on Sunday evening when our college mess will be closed and all will opt to the local restaurant. I used to stay in the town alone near to the bus stand and railway station and normally use to go to dinner sometime around 10 pm where u see all these great drinkers on the road – shouting, falling here and there, quarrelling but no one beats anyone even after quarrelling for hours. A person in this area gets fully out within two pegs and then the tamasa begins.

The Heat is Rising….Rising

When I read a report during my ten standard that the temperature would increase to 50 degree Celsius in another decade, I just laughed about the predictions made by these researchers to hog the limelight in the papers and seminars. But today it is the reality. Temperatures almost all over in India is above 30 degree Celsius and in some parts, the temperature is more than 40 degree Celsius constantly. This brings the question – why is this temperature rise in just a decade? And what happens if this continues? How can we control the environmental disasters?
We do have the answers to these questions but not the will. And it goes on to the saying that – knowledge in not enough, but it implementation is what matters.
