Everything you've always wanted to know about Methane, but were afraid to ask

Methane is among the most potent greenhouse gases and scientists say controlling emissions from cows and sheep, rice fields and the oil and gas industry is a major step in limiting climate change. It a major component of natural gas and is 23 times more potent in trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide and it lasts about 12 years in the atmosphere before it is oxidized and converted into CO2 and water. About 60 percent of all methane in the atmosphere is believed to be caused by human activities with fossil fuels, cattle and sheep, landfills, rice paddies and forest fires being the main human-related sources.

Solar power revolution in Rajasthan

The desert state is on course to become the biggest producer of solar energy in the world with top Indian companies making a beeline for setting up solar power plants.The die has been cast. The Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Ltd (RRECL), the state nodal agency for promoting and developing nonconventional energy sources, has received 32 proposals to set up 900MW solar power plants. The rush for setting up solar plants is due to incentives offered by the state as well as central government. Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) would set up a 5MW solar power plant at Khinwsar in Nagaur district which would start production by December 2009.

Don - Back with a bang!

Well as I have resolved I am back to stay, so to speak. I saw DON, the movie yesterday. And I must say Shahrukh Khan is back with a bang. Don't get me wrong, he is one of my favorite Hindi actors but recently the soapy romantic movies he had been making, (where he seemed to overdo almost every scene), were a pain to watch. Well that wasn't as issue here b'cos the DON was supposed to make each scene his own. And it made me realise that it wasn't him I was bored with, it was the romantic films he had been doing consecutively that were irritating me. I mean a guy like the great Don makes my knees go weak. Just the idea of him knowing everything and making the world his own playground was fascinating to watch. There was a car chase sequence in some narrow roads which was fantastic. There are loads of movies (both Hindi and English) with car chases on narrow roads but these roads were not just narrow, they were filled with activity and looked like very realistic Goan roads...

Latest styles....

I`m studying in Don Bosco College and we share the premises with the Don Bosco all boys school. That's why I have lots of time to observe the behaviour of the male animal. They are a mighty weird species when they are young. At times they do grow up to be human, but most grow up with some issue or the other. Anyway, yesterday I saw a group of boys with their hair oiled till I felt I could see it dripping down.(oh and they try to pass it off as gel). Just add a little heat to their heads and you could very easily be able to fry omelets. Then there is the limp they all seemed to have. (again they try to pass it off as style ). I find it hard to believe that all their left legs are shorter than their right (I`m sure that it wasn`t a requirement when they were admitted!)I have this irresistible urge to add a little height to the sole of one of their shoes just to see them topple when they can`t balance. So you get why I call them animals they can`t walk, dress or even talk properly(the...
