Fluid automata

These are armature  videos to demonstrate a simple idea regarding energy efficient fluid transport. It revolves around the observation that if an airtight pipe is used then water flows without energy as long as start point holds an higher level of water than the exit. The twists and turns or the elevation of the pipe in between do not matter. 

A naturalist's dilemma

We hear a lot of voices carrying an argument that things not being good for us as these are not directly available in nature and hence opposed to our natural well being. This argument if applied in totality makes the whole human endavours over centuries and millaniums a war against the nature. Which is flawed. Being foremost thinking creatures we have the advantage and responsibility. Sustainability for ourselves and the surroundings; living and the complimentry needs to be thought to the best of the comprehension. Any cynical approch in either direction can only be undoing of the endavours.

The last satyamev jayate episode

Let me first admit that i am a big fan of the   series. It has had an impact that is far greater than the sum  total of indian news channel  debates in recent years.  I liked the story of the villager who single handedly  paved a way across a mountain. I feel it has a great lesson for the anna movement and  citizens frustated of the system. A single  man's determination can move a mounntain; with so many good  people around system is bound to  channge; save a bit determination.
