						<title>A wild night in Delhi!</title>
						<link>http://www.fropper.com/post/12647</link>
						<description><![CDATA[ Things are crazy sometimes, more so when you get a chance to break away and get to catch up with friends and family. This is just a story of my adventures in Delhi on Friday last.  It was Holi and since Delhi is my sasural we had planned to spend it in Delhi this time. The wifey left a day ago on Thursday since poor me didnt had holidays. Did some bacchanalian revelry on the Thursday night ( details of which are better not disclosed here ;) ) and flew to Delhi on Friday afternoon. I had scheduled Friday to catch up with old friends and meeting the family was on Saturday.  After landing in Delhi ( the flight was as usual few hrs late) caught up with a friend of mine and when she asked me where shall we go, I said I WANT BEER and MORE BEER. Thankfully she took me to one of the best places I have ever been to yet. It is called Veda and it is at CP. Check the pic of the place below -                              Since we were not in mood of eating much , we ended up having couple of beers and me listening to her stories of her new job, as a producer for a lifestyle show on a soon coming TV channel.It was great meeting her after almost an year and hearing her sarcastic quips.  Since I was already in mood to party and my wifey was waiting with her friend, had to rush off from CP to Pitampura. Travelling in metro trains is lot of fun when you are 2 beers down! Had a small meeting with the parents of wifey's friend to convince them that their daughter will be safe with us and they dont have to worry for allowing us a night out!   We went to Ruby Tuesday in Janakpuri and then again my beer session started. Meanwhile, my chaddhi yaar, or more of a brother, who is in Navy was also in Delhi. For Jeeves, he did the greatest thing after being born on that day i.e. He bought a car! So he met us with his cousin at Ruby and we unanimously decided.... we wanna DANCE!!!  So there we were, atround 12 Midnight, calling up our friends and asking for good discs in Mumbai. Now here is the fun part, we came to know that AGNI is the place to go but we didnt knew in which hotel it was! So I called up Chithra, since i knew she will be online at this hour and asked her to get me the address of the place from net. Somehow, she could not find it. This image is for you Chithra!                 Finally, somehow , after asking around we landed up in AGNI. Not as good as I heard at first sight but i really wanted to Dance and have beer. The dance started, 2 ladies and we 3 &quot;gentle&quot;men! The party rocked on and the best part was the DJ playing all the rapchick numbers which gave me full freedom to display my dancing skills. Actually I invented few dance steps that night. Tamma Tamma Loge, Pehli Nazar Mein, 100s of punjabi bhangra songs set up the night. Oh yes, holi songs too! We danced almost non stop for 4 hours and made sure the disc closed down before we left!  Few moments I will cherish -  1&gt; Me and my navy friend leaving the disc for sometime. 2 old friends, meeting after years, having a smoke under the skies , sitting in silence. Was priceless. 2&gt; We 5 of us, dancing on Dharam pajis steps in a group. Wish I had a pic of that! 3&gt; Me having almost 10 beers that night and still reaching my wifey's place and asking my mom-in-law for food and eating 8 idlis! And yes, I was behaving well.  We reached home at 5 AM , ate like anything and slept peacefully! Party over!]]></description>

						<title>Saluting Women: The story of my Aunt</title>
						<link>http://www.fropper.com/post/11775</link>
						<description><![CDATA[This is a post meant to honor all the courageous woman who have fought life and its other variants.  Today , I would like to tell you a story about my aunt.One of the most fiery, courageous and tenacious lady I have seen.  Her story starts way back in late 1960s when she got married to my Uncle at the young age of 18.My Uncle was a pilot in Indian Airforce and it was a lovely life for them. In 1971, my uncle died in an aircrash during a training session near Pune.  My aunt, who was then mother of 2 children. Two girls, aged 2 and 1. And mind you, it was 1970s and things were not as free for a woman as they are now.Back in her hometown Lucknow she felt helpless from all sides.Lack of support from her late husband's family and her brothers ( one of them being my dad) were quite young to support her.Emotionally and in lot of other ways she got support from my grandfather and relatives, but at the end, the fight was her own.  She managed to get a job in bank as a clerk and made sure that her daughters get the best education. After few years, she sent them to Welham Girls School in Dehradun which is among the best schools in India. It was tough for her to pay the fees but she managed to meet ends.  The life went on and I was very close to her while I was growing up. in 1986 she got Indian Oil gas agency via Armed Forces quota and life changed a bit. My dad quit his busines to join her since managing such a volatile business is very tough for a woman.  About my sisters, they were my guides. I cant express here what I learnt from them. They were much ahead of their times and guided me as i grew up.  Today, one of my sisters is an IPS Officer and serving the country in Intelligence Bureau. The younger sister is an entrepreneur and has been featured in magazines like Femina few times .Both of them are happily married and still make difference in the lives of people around them. As for my aunt, she is a very active lady in politics and has been the Chief of Ladies wing in UP of Congress Party.  When I&nbsp; try to imagine the state of her mind, a lady , 21 years old, on her own and 2 infant daughters to take care of and when I see her today, I know she has come a long long way....and i just bow my head in salutation to her.  Three cheers for the species called Women!!!]]></description>

						<title>Food for Thought</title>
						<link>http://www.fropper.com/post/10826</link>
						<description><![CDATA[I am in sombre mood today. Was cleaning up my sms inbox and found this sms from a very dear friend of mine who&nbsp; posseses this knack of dark humor and sarcasm which I have not seen quite often.She is one person who runs away from commitments but also keeps ruing over the fact that all her friends are getting hooked up or&nbsp; married and she is gonna die a old soul!   Here is the sms ,   Prostitution and &quot;serial&quot; dating are one and the same. You just get paid in &quot;kind&quot; for someone's company. One is for money, the other is to beat loneliness.  I dont completely agree with her, but also I fall short of arguments if I have to prove her wrong.  I open this statement to my esteemed readers to think and ponder about and respond in the comments!  Rohit]]></description>

						<title>Seven times when i despised my soul</title>
						<link>http://www.fropper.com/post/10508</link>
						<description><![CDATA[My favorite pasttime at home nowdays is just to pick up this book i bought long back but could not do justice to it. It is by one of the greatest poets Kahlil Gibran  This part comes form one of his works , Sand and Foam ( 1926) ...loved it so much that I thought I can share it with you all and we all may relate to it in some way. Here it is ,  Seven times have I despised my soul: The first time when I saw her being meek that she might attain height. The second time when I saw her limping before the crippled. The third time when she was given to choose between the hard and the easy, and she chose the easy. The fourth time when she committed a wrong, and comforted herself that others also commit wrong. The fifth time when she forbore for weakness, and attributed her patience to strength. The sixth time when she despised the ugliness of a face, and knew not that it was one of her own masks. And the seventh time when she sang a song of praise, and deemed it a virtue.   If you have not read Kahlil , then do read his works. I am sure they will be a source of enlightenment for you. They can be found here  Cheers!]]></description>

						<title>Ten Accidental Inventions that changed the world</title>
						<link>http://www.fropper.com/post/10436</link>
						<description><![CDATA[Came across this fabulous post here and thought of sharing with you all. 
 
Original Link - Ten Accidental Inventions that changed the world 
 
1. Penicillin 
 
Everybody knows the story &ndash; or at least, should &ndash; the brilliant yet notoriously absent-minded biologist Sir Alexander Fleming was researching a strain of bacteria called staphylococci. Upon returning from holiday one time in 1928, he noticed that one of the glass culture dishes he had accidentally left out had become contaminated with a fungus, and so threw it away. It wasn&rsquo;t until later that he noticed that the staphylococcus bacteria seemed unable to grow in the area surrounding the fungal mould. 
 
Fleming didn&rsquo;t even hold out much hope for his discovery: it wasn&rsquo;t given much attention when he published his findings the following year, it was difficult to cultivate, and it was slow-acting &ndash; it wasn&rsquo;t until 1945 after further research by several other scientists that penicillin was able to be produced on an industrial scale, changing the way doctors treated bacterial infections forever. 
 
2. The Microwave 
 
In 1945 Percy Lebaron Spencer, an American engineer and inventor, was busy working on manufacturing magnetrons, the devices used to produce the microwave radio signals that were integral to early radar use. Radar was an incredibly important innovation during the time of war, but microwave cooking was a purely accidental discovery. 
 
While standing by a functioning magnetron, Spencer noticed that the chocolate bar in his pocket had melted. His keen mind soon figured out that it was the microwaves that had caused it, and later experimented with popcorn kernels and eventually, an egg, which (as we all could have told him from mischievous childhood &lsquo;experiments&rsquo;), exploded. 
 
The first microwave oven weighed about 750lbs and was about the size of a fridge. 
 
3. Ice Cream Cones 
 
This story is a perfect example of serendipity, and a single chance encounter leading to worldwide repercussions. It&rsquo;s also rather sweet. 
 
Before 1904, ice cream was served on dishes. It wasn&rsquo;t until the World&rsquo;s Fair of that year, held in St Louis, Missouri, that two seemingly unrelated foodstuffs became inexorably linked together. 
 
At this particularly sweltering 1904 World&rsquo;s Fair, a stall selling ice cream was doing such good business that they were quickly running out of dishes. The neighboring stall wasn&rsquo;t doing so well, selling Zalabia &ndash; a kind of wafer thin waffle from Persia &ndash; and the stall owner came up with the idea of rolling them into cone shapes and popping the ice cream on top. Thus the ice cream cone was born &ndash; and it doesn&rsquo;t look like dying out any time soon. 
 
4. Champagne 
 
While many know that Dom Pierre P&eacute;rignon is credited for the invention of champagne, it was not the 17th century Benedictine monk&rsquo;s intention to make a wine with bubbles in it &ndash; in fact, he had spent years trying to prevent just that, as bubbly wine was considered a sure sign of poor winemaking. 
 
P&eacute;rignon&rsquo;s original wish was to cater for the French court&rsquo;s preference for white wine. Since black grapes were easier to grow in the Champagne region, he invented a way of pressing white juice from them. But since Champagne&rsquo;s climate was relatively cold, the wine had to be fermented over two seasons, spending the second year in the bottle. This produced a wine loaded with bubbles of carbon dioxide, which P&eacute;rignon tried but failed to eradicate. Happily, the new wine was a big hit with the aristocratic crowds in both the French and English courts. 
 
5. Post-It Notes 
 
The invention of the humble Post-It Note was an accidental collaboration between second-rate science and a frustrated church-goer. In 1970, Spencer Silver, a researcher for the large American corporation 3M, had been trying to formulate a strong adhesive, but ended up only managing to create a very weak glue that could be removed almost effortlessly. He promoted his invention within 3M, but nobody took any notice. 
 
4 years later, Arthur Fry, a 3M colleague and member of his church choir, was irritated by the fact that the slips of paper he placed in his hymnal to mark the pages would usually fall out when the book was opened. One service, he recalled the work of Spencer Silver, leading to an epiphany &ndash; the church being a good a place as any to have one, I suppose &ndash; and later applied some of Silver&rsquo;s weak yet non-damaging adhesive to his bookmarks. He found that the little sticky markers worked perfectly, and sold the idea to 3M. Trial marketing began in 1977, and today you&rsquo;d find it hard to imagine life without them. 
 
6. Potato chips/crisps 
 
In 1853, in a restaurant in Saratoga, New York, a particularly fussy diner (railway magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt) repeatedly refused to eat the fries he had been served with his meal, complaining that they were too thick and too soggy. After he had sent back several plates of increasingly thinly-cut fries, the chef George Crum decided to get his own back by frying wafer-thin slices of potato in grease and sending them out. 
 
Vanderbilt initially protested that the chef&rsquo;s latest efforts were too thin to be picked up with a fork, but upon trying a few, the chips were an instant hit, and soon everybody in the restaurant wanted a serving. This led to the new recipe appearing on the menu as &ldquo;Saratoga Chips&rdquo;, before later being sold all over the world. 
 
7. The Slinky 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  
What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, and makes a slinkity sound? Well, originally it was  
just a spring falling off a desk. To be more precise, it was the desk belonging to marine engineer Richard James, who sometime in 1940 noticed that when the spring fell, it stumbled and tumbled across the floor for a while before laying to rest. After a few prototypes, the Slinky was ready to be introduced to toy stores in 1948, where it became one of the most popular and iconic toys of all time. 
 
James&rsquo; wife Betty was the one who came up with the name &ldquo;Slinky&rdquo;, and has been CEO of the company since 1960. Over 250 million Slinkies have been sold worldwide, and they were even used as mobile radio antennae during the Vietnam war. 
 
8. The Pacemaker 
 
Like penicillin, here is another accidental invention that continues to save lives to this day. American engineer Wilson Greatbatch was working on a gadget that recorded irregular heartbeats, when he inserted the wrong type of resistor into his invention. The circuit pulsed, then was quiet, then pulsed again, prompting Greatbatch to compare this reaction with the human heart and work on the world&rsquo;s first implantable cardiac pacemaker. 
 
Before the implantable version was used on humans from 1960 onwards, pacemakers had been based on the external model invented by Paul Zoll in 1952. These were about the size of a television and dealt out considerable jolts of electricity into the patient&rsquo;s body, which often caused the skin to burn. Greatbatch also went on to devise a lithium-iodide battery cell to power his pacemaker. 
 
9. Superglue 
 
More sticky stuff, though this one was famous for its high adhesive value, unlike Silver&rsquo;s Post-It Notes. Superglue came into being in 1942 when Dr Harry Coover was trying to isolate a clear plastic to make precision gun sights for handheld weaponry. For a while he was working with chemicals known as cyanoacrylates, which they soon realized polymerized on contact with moisture, causing all the test materials to bond together. It was obvious that these wouldn&rsquo;t work, so research moved on. 
 
6 years later, Coover was working in a Tennessee chemical plant and realized the potential of the substance when they were testing the heat resistance of cyanoacrylates, recognizing that the adhesives required neither heat nor pressure to form a strong bond. Thus, after a certain amount of commercial refinement, Superglue (or &ldquo;Alcohol-Catalyzed Cyanoacrylate Adhesive Composition&rdquo;, to give it its full name) was born. 
 
It was later used for treating injured soldiers in Vietnam &ndash; the adhesive could be sprayed on open wounds, stemming bleeding and allowing easier transportation of soldiers; adding a delicious layer of irony to the story in that a discovery made during an effort to improve the killing potential of guns ended up saving countless lives. 
 
10. LSD 
 
The unintentional discovery of d-lysergic acid diethylamide tartrate-LSD-25 led to a cultural revolution &ndash; nobody today can deny that the hallucinogen uncovered by Swiss scientist Albert Hoffman in 1938 helped shape the hippy movement of the 1960s and sparked worldwide interest, having a massive impact on neuroscience research and treatment. 
 
The actual discovery of LSD as a hallucinogen occurred when Dr Hoffman was involved in pharmaceutical research in Basel, Switzerland, hoping to produce drugs that would help ease the pain of childbirth. Having synthesized what would later become known as LSD; Hoffman catalogued the untested substance and placed it in storage, after finding nothing particularly interesting about it during the initial analysis. It wasn&rsquo;t until a Friday afternoon in April 1943 when Hoffman discovered the true properties of the compound, inadvertently absorbing a healthy dose of it when handling the chemical at work without wearing gloves. On his bicycle ride back home he observed &ldquo;an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors&rdquo;. 
 
Criminalized throughout the USA in 1966 (and most others following suit soon after), further research into LSD was (and still is) constantly hampered by its illegal status. Early researcher Dr Richard Alpert claimed to have administered LSD to 200 test subjects by 1961, and reported that 85% of his test subjects said that the experience was the &ldquo;most educational&rdquo; of their lives. 
 
Here are a few other accidental innovations that deserve at least a mention: saccharin (artificial sweetener), Scotchguard (aka Sellotape), Teflon, the band-aid, the frisbee, the sandwich, the popsicle, Silly Putty, x-rays, vulcanized rubber, velcro, and safety glass. 
 
Hope you all had fun reading. Thanks to people at http://www.pocketgadget.org to compile this list!]]></description>

						<title>Men No Longer relevant to the survival of the human race!!!</title>
						<link>http://www.fropper.com/post/10310</link>
						<description><![CDATA[Original Link - Men No Longer Needed to Create Sperm 
 
 
Well heard this, and I think this ends the debate which Dagny started!!! Sadly...we men...we fabulous, intelligent, brave, light of this universe, predators species have become victims of the technology!!! 
 
Excerpt from the article -  
 
Scientists at the University of Newcastle have managed to create human sperm cells using a female embryonic stem cell. 
 
The researchers, led by Prof Karim Nayernia, had previously created primitive sperm cells from male bone marrow. They&rsquo;re currently working on making the cells from female bone marrow, which would be much easier and more practical than creating them from embryos. 
 
The creation means that lesbian couples could soon have children that shared the DNA of both women, rather than having one male biological father. A sperm cell created from one partner could fertilize her partner&rsquo;s egg. 
 
There is some question about whether a sperm cell created from a female could produce viable, healthy offspring. The human female sperm cells could not in their current state produce offspring as they do not have the correct amount of genetic material. The team must next have the cells undergo meiosis to make sure the cells have the correct amount of genetic material. 
 
That will likely only be a minor roadblock. Prof Nayernia has already overcome this problem with sperm cells created from male cells. In 2006, he used sperm created from embryonic stem cells to impregnate mice. The mice produced 7 pups, although one died and the other six had health problems. 
 
Ok, so it may be overstating it a bit to say that males will be irrelevant. Just because we&rsquo;re not technically needed to breed doesn&rsquo;t mean women will no longer find men attractive, right? After all, we&rsquo;re good for a lot more than just baby making. We&rsquo;ve got tons to offer! For instance, just the other day I assembled a chair from Ikea, and it only wobbles a tiny bit when you sit on it. Also, I&rsquo;m frequently asked to kill insects. I think we men have a bright future. 
 
 
 
Don;t know where it goes from here!!!

The tale of a 70-year-old Chinese man who hand-carved over 6,000 stairs up a mountain for his 80-year-old wife has moved millions of people in 2006, Wednesday morning the man passed away in the cave, which has been the couple's home for the last 50 years.                             The story began half a century ago when 20-year-old Liu Guojiang fell in love with widowed mother Xu Chaoqing.  In a twist worthy of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, friends and relatives criticized the relationship because of the age difference and the fact that Xu already had children.  Desperate to escape market gossip and the scorn of their communities, the pair eloped to live in a cave in Jiangjin County in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality.                             Their story came atop a list of China's top ten love stories organized by the Chinese Women Weekly, which collected tales from around the country since July.  At the beginning, life was harsh and Xu felt that she had tied Liu down and repeatedly asked him, &quot;Are you regretful?&quot;  Liu always replied, &quot;As long as we are industrious, life will improve.&quot;  Liu and his wife were not present at the award ceremony due to their age, but their son, Liu Mingsheng, came with a kerosene lamp that his father had made from an ink bottle.  &quot;My parents have lived in seclusion for more than 50 years because of their love for each other. They had no electricity and my father made kerosene lamps to lighten our lives,&quot; he said.  &quot;My mother seldom goes down the mountain, but my father cut the 6,000-plus stairs for her convenience,&quot; Liu said. &quot;It's a ladder of love.&quot;   Glad to know that people like Liu still exist in this dark world. Do share it with your friends and family to fill their heart with hope in these times!  Cheers, Rohit       ]]></description>
