Whale watching trip

zoooooooooooooooom...................a  speed boat trip watching whales,sharks and dolphins.
We had a wonderful experience travelling to the middle of the sea, specially in a speed boat.
It was most thrilling when the boat jumped for every high and wide tide.

So it started like, the weekend has started,thinking what to do as the climate was bit sunny.
Quickly we started to plan to make bookings for whale watching trip (which we were planning
for several days). One big coincidence is, I had an early morning dream like watching Dolphins,
and we were planning like that itself.

The place where we live is known as Dolphin coast..,as the dolphins live round the year in the sea.
So we booked the boat for 12-1pm trip, as we get late in the morning usually,so planned ahead
 of time.

We got ready by wearing life jacket, and luckily it was only we in the last trip, no outsiders
and felt like a private charter. Our trip started around 12:15 pm, while racing towards the sea,
we got a chance to see a small sharks eating a fish which was hooked by a fishing guy.
As we moved towards the sea, the land area started to disappear, only high rise buildings
were seen and the boat was jumping 'bumpy' while going through long waves. As it was sunny,
thank god, we didn't feel that much cold too, as summer is on its way saying 'bye bye' to spring.
After travelling a few distance,we saw a bunch of dolphins jumping and bouncing into the sea.
And one particular dolphin diving under our boat. Boat man was explaining that dolphins are
friendly and they come to play often after they hear boat engine sound.

Immediately after seeing spectacular scene, we spotted a big gigantic "Humpback Whale" with
its calf , where we were able to see the fin alone. Whales normally travels thousands of km
all the way from  "Antarctic Ocean" for giving birth  We could see water splashing out when it breaths
and it was big and long whale lying in the sea bed. It was a quick trip and while returning we had
a fast ride back to the beach and fantastic boat jump to the shore as ours was the last trip.

Tears

Life is like a circle,it has ups and downs and am sure everybody must have 
felt saddest part of life, say like missing a dear ones, love failure, fighting with 
someone close and so it goes on, afterall everyone has their own story.
So who do you think the best consoler, it can be your best friends,parents
or the partner but the first thing is the "tears". But some people hide it, why 
don't you let it out to console yourself, if not in public atleast in private.

Life has to go on..and nobody can stop it even if they think. I guess God has
given some extra glands to secregate tears to women more than men
Moreover many think men are not allowed to cry as it will affect their 
self-esteem, i don't believe it as all are human beings and everybody has 
feelings.

Please give respect to tears too, don't cry for silly serials or movies or even 
silly matters in life. I used to be a cry baby, but after getting matured i felt for
my silly behaviour. Crying was just an outrage of anger for me and due to that
i was not able express my anger properly more than that i had nil patience to 
control my anger. But life teaches you everything and to succeed in life
Patience is the best medicine which i pray to God everyday.

Wildlife part 1

Hello friends,

Today am going to share my wildlife experience. When I was in India, though i was not a big fan of wildlife creatures,we normally go to Zoo and watch the animals,enjoy and return back. But after coming to South Africa, my taste has completely changed became a great fan of wildlife creatures. I feel very lucky to encounter myself as I see in discovery or NGW channel.

Lets come to the point..thinking what am talking about???African countries have vast land and nature resources so they started Game Reserve for the animals to enjoy their own privacy like their own jungle or forest.

Off course in India, there are some animal sanctuaries,but need to get proper legal permissions from forest department to visit it. But here, in this game reserve anyone can enter by paying conservation fee and enjoy discovering animals and their behaviour. Some really spent more money in researching wild creatures and spend months together.

So thinking what you can do Game reserve, its not like Zoo,where animals are gathered for human sightseeing, its where we visit their kingdom to look out for them.
  
Special one here is Big 5 game reserves,where you can spot Lion,rhino,leopard,      elephant,buffalo. And all these animals survive by doing their own hunting..nobody going to feed them. Sounds interesting isn't, just imagine hearing sounds of antelopes or roaring sounds of Lion during night will definitely gives a thrilling experience. If you are lucky enough,you can watch lions or leopard eating or hunting prey.

There is more to share with you guys,catch you in next part.

Am ALIVE

Its again Flu time here..yes got affected by bad throat infection then followed by fever
 and then diarrhea..what not in the list. Almost 3-4kgs have been reduced..yippee
 but not in a constructive way. Still my tongue not accepting tasty food..yes whatever 
i eat looks sour and bitter medicines. Here in South Africa, Doctors always give a
 high dose of antibiotics, hate it to meet them, had to make prior appointments,had to take
 lot of tests. In this case, I love India having more clinics and good doctors.Mom is the best 
doctor in the world,  missed her very much, being in abroad especially when you are sick. 
Next to mom, my hubby always took my side to take care of me by taking a day off
 and doing all the work.

Now am perfect except my tastebuds, still looking for a tasty food. I guess it has got bored
 of my cooking. So thats the reason for not showing up, don't ask me if am fine i would
 do lots of posts,ha ha..its all the mood i always need to blog and also for all kinds of work i do.

I guess its the Olympics season,everyone keeping track on that, including me and expecting
 more Gold from India.Ok friends see you in my next posts with some 
interesting topics ..........byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Top 10 unanswered questions..Answered

This particular article i came across in newspaper, i thought i could share with u all friends,
kudos to all scientists and researchers who spend their life time to the discoveries.

1.Are we alone in the universe?
       Scientists say the universe likely to contain many planets contain intellectual life.
However,we may not ever develop the technological wherewithal to reach out millions of
light years to make contact.

2.Will there ever be a cure for cancer?
       Exciting new treatment are in the research pipeline while it is unlikely that there will be
a magic,overnight cure in the near future,patients will live for longer and longer periods.

3.Does God exist?
       This is a longtime unanswered question for me yet am searching for an answer.
There is no scientific evidence for the existence of God.

4.How big is space?
        Some Astronomers believe there is no limit to the size of the universe.Others say
that since the Big Bang it has expanded to around 150 billion light years.

5.How and where did life start on earth?
        There have been numerous theories from variouse bacteria entering into symbiotic
relationships to convection currents passing through the Earth's crust.

6.Is time travel possible?
        The fabric of space time contains shortcuts called warmholes which makes time travel
 theoretically possible. However warmholes are unstable and to prop one open would
require repulsive gravity,the existence of which is not yet to be confirmed.

7.Will we ever colonise space?
         Maybe. Some say we should take a serious look at creating colonies elsewhere in our
solar system in case conditions on earth become inhospitable. NASA has already held meetings
on terraforming -the delibrate modification of the conditions on other planets or moon to make
them similar to those of earth.....interesting isn't..

8.What will replace Oil and when?
           Alternative energy sources is available but need to be made cost efficient and reach
demands in order to be replaced.

9.How will the universe end?
           Theories include that the universe will stop expanding and then collapse in on itself,
that it will get colder as it expands until it is at absolute zero, and that dark energy, will
eventually overcome gravity.

10.How long can the human lifespan be extended?
           Life-span extension experiments in mice have convinced some scientists that human
may soon routinely live way beyond their hundredth birthdays.
