Hi folks! It has been quite a long time since my last post. So, I decide to write about my weekend trip this time. We were discussing about a place to visit last weekend (26th August 2012). We had already been to shopping malls and cinema theatres. Moreover, it was becoming monotonous to visit them. So, we took a break from the routine and decided to visit a remote place. One of my friends mentioned a park in Anaikatti. We took a ride to Anaikatti and enquired about the park. People knew of the park, but the information they provided was rather ambiguous. One old man even ventured so far as to say that the park was nothing but ‘benches and a snack stand!’ We found out later that the place was much more than a ‘benches and snack stand’. It was actually “Nilgiri Biosphere Nature Park”. Encompassing an area of close to 70 acres, the park harbors various indigenous species, flora and fauna, the Nilgiri Tahr being one of them.

Over the course of time, they learned to hunt, to cook, look after their family and most importantly, survive. But they soon realized that they were missing something. What could it be? The human brain is a complex thing, having undergone rapid changes in the process of evolution. Its ability to think transcended many dimensions. It started to draw out complex connections. This resulted in the 'Go...

Human beings are complicated animals whose sole purpose in life is to make their lives more complicated. That's right, I made up that quote! It's up to you to decide whether it is good or not. OK, let me get to the point. I wanted to start my blog with humorous undertones, but instead found myself writing a philosophical one. Nature is basically non-linear, meaning that the processes involved cannot be predicted or governed exactly. What can be done, however, is that a probability can be computed. However, the majority species on earth - humans, have a different idea. They think that they can govern nature and predict the processes exactly. It has had disastrous consequences.Earth has thus become an experimental playground for humans, with other species facing the wrong end of the barrel. Humans are the only species who have contributed single handedly  to the demise of numerous species. It seems that this particular species, the humans, are a serious evolutionary malfuncti...
