Equinox.....THE TEMPLE OF TRIVANDRUM--AN UNKNOWN FACET.

The sun goes down along the middle portion of Gopuram of Sree Padmanabha Swamy Temple on equinox. 


Sree Padmanabha Swamy temple is so well constructed that on Equinox sun passes exactly through
 the middle of Gopuram passing through all the doors. An engineering marvel indeed !!

An Equinox is an astronomical event that happens twice, once in spring and once in autumn, each year when the tilt of the Earth’s axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun. During Equinoxes the tilt of the Earth 
(with respect to the Sun) is 0° and because of it duration of the day and the night are
 almost equal on Equinox day i.e. 12 hours.

Equinoxes occur on 20th or 21st March and 22nd or 23rd September each year and 
both days has equal length of the day and the night.

When the Sethu Samudram Channel Project was on, well known political leaders like Karunanidhi etc wondered whether Lord Sri Rama had obtained an "Engineering degree" and from which institution?  Looking at the degree of accuracy in designing this (Padmanabhaswamy temple), it is proven that Indians at that time were quite proficient in their studies and use of it - for this is the proof that higher quality education did exist at that time. Apparently over a period of time we have lost it. We should really be keen to regain that lost  splendor  and move along...

Lenovo P780 Mobile, My Son & Water

I was proud enough to show case my mobile phone in my friends circle, whenever any debates for new mobile purchase. I was, kind of unknowingly market Lenovo P780 for its long battery backup and good picture quality.

Due to last night rain, Bangalore morning was so bleak, I was half awake, My son was playing around near me, he usually speak / shout and pretending talking in mobile phone like how we speak.

I could not recollect anything more from my conscious. after few moments, what I heard, his cough from bathroom. I suspect, he would have dunk my mobile in the bucket or pouring water on it.

Spouse noticed this scene lately and did not want to upset me in the morning, so simply she told me that the mobile was slightly wet & asked me to clean...

while cleaning I realized there were plenty of water drops coming out.

I haven't studied mobile first aid or mobile life saving do's and don'ts. so, I tried to keep it dry and kept outside in sunlight for a while.

My intelligent spouse, switched it on and found low battery, she plugged in for charge. [she's BE-ECE graduate]

The bill amount 16k change and accessories cost came in my mind for a while.
