Things I have been doing recently...

This is relaxing... this surely is. It is after a long time that I realize that sometimes a change can be amazing. All this while I have had to experience its bitter half… I know people have changed and I also know that somehow I am coping up with it well externally… this is actually eating me from within. A hollow feeling. Oh no…no. Let’s not drift there now.... Not this way. I don’t want this to happen. I want to feel happy today… and this has come to me after so many days. I want to shout, laugh, run and even cry in happiness. I don’t know why.

Today I am going to tell you what I have been doing recently… I have been indulged in for quite a long time in cleaning my room and doing some decoration work. Huh! Quite tiresome but yet seems like a lot of peace. I have found some old stuff… some letters, my old, musty diary (seems silly now), some old books of mine, some stories I had written quite a long time ago, a photo album and some of the sketches and paintings I had made about 3-4 years back. They were like ‘an echo of a distant time’. Yup…lots of buried memories back to life again. So much has gone past us, so many pleasant moments and yet we run forward to leave back so much more. Life is amazing and a person realizes this only on encounter with the old self… one that I found within me as I was searching through the mess in the trunk for more such tokens of old happenings… I was realizing that the thing I had in myself for raw fun has been replaced over all these years by a lust for simple survival... by an uncanny seriousness. This ‘survival of the fittest’ mechanism has marred the simplicity not just within me but within so many I see around. And may be the zest to return to those very moments I had discovered in my room is the reason for my uncertain happiness. And then I remember those lines I had uttered on the fare-well day at school… Even though I know it well that life is dynamic and nothing is ever going to remain the way it is today, I wish to hold onto this moment for some more time…………………. 

 Though today I am here to bid a good-bye, I do wish that someday I will be able to return to the place I had started from…

I remember how I used to draw and color… mix and match just for the sake of a momentary enjoyment. I was never trained by a professional, except for the very early teachings by my mother. Drawing may be, came to me from my mother. These are some of the paintings by me…
The Nest Building


Dreaming Utopia

A Walk through the Desert






The Woodcutter's Dilemma


A village scene on the hillside


A Flood Scene


A Floral Design

Hard Work...!
               
A Solitary Traveller


And then there are many other drawings and sketches which I would be posting some other day. 



For more, I have been listening to songs... Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd are a fad and I have been hearing them many times over. They are real masters in music... an appreciation from me is a little thing for them but still I do appreciate them. The extra-ordinary sense of mysticism they can put in simple things is a fascination you are bound to accept... there is no escape from their realm.

I have been watching a few animation movies. A good pastime. And as I have told it is for the first time in years that I seem to enjoy this change... a change to relax, a change to be happy. Animation movies does make you happy. Ratatouille was kind of a good movie... The famous cook Gusteau says that anyone can cook and this is what proven by the rat that cooks in place of Gusteau's son ( the son initially was not aware of this identity of his). The rat takes the decision between being with family and friends or exploring the world on himself and choosing the latter option was indeed a good one. I remember the lines said by an extraordinarily harsh critic after having the ratatouille at Gusteau's :
"Not everyone can become a great artist but a great artist can come from anyone. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those cooking at Gusteau's..."



This vacation is going pretty well but soon I have to be back to work and back to form.
Looking forward till then....

Group 14-16: Non metals ( Periodic Table #6)

Non-metals are the elements in groups 14-16 of the periodic table. Non-metals are not able to conduct electricity or heat very well . Non-metallic elements are very brittle , and not malleable (i.e.cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets). The non-metals exist in two of the three states of matter at room temperature: gases (such as oxygen) and solids (such as carbon). The non-metals have no metallic luster, and do not reflect light . They have oxidation numbers of ±4, -3, and -2. The Non-Metal elements are: Hydrogen Carbon Nitrogen Oxygen Phosphorus Sulfur Selenium  Although five times more elements are metals than nonmetals, two of the nonmetals —hydrogen and helium—make up over 99 per cent of the observable Universe,  and one—oxygen—makes up close to half of the Earth's crust, oceans and atmosphere.   Living organisms are also composed almost entirely of nonmetals,  and nonmetals form many more compounds than metals CREDIT: wikiped...

Structure of atoms #2 : Electronic Configuration

Image
The arrangement of electrons in the various shells/orbits/energy levels of an atom of the element is known as electronic configuration. Bohr-Bury scheme Electrons revolve around the nucleus in different energy levels or shells and each shell is associated with definite energy. The energy of the K shell is the least while those of L, M, N and O shells increases progressively. We also know that any system that has least energy is the most stable. 1 s t  energy level is K shell 2 n d  energy level is L shell 3 r d  energy level is M shell 4 t h  energy level is N shell and so on. Electronic configuration of an element Bohr and Bury Scheme - Important Rules 1. Maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a shell is given by 2n 2  where n=shell number For 1 s t  energy level, n = 1 Maximum number of electrons in 1 s t  energy level = 2n 2 2 x (1) 2 = 2 For 2 n d  energy level n=2 Maximum number of...
