The End of a Chapter, the Beginning of A NEW One!!!!

August 8th, 2008 marked an end of a chapter in my book called life. I was relieved from EK, my former family (organization) and on August 11th, 2008, a new chapter in my life began, I joined my current Organization, Sify, on August 11th, 2008. On my first day,I finished my joining formalities at Tidel Park. The joining formalities hardly took 3 hours in total. After completing it, I had lunch at the Sangeetha outlet in the Food Court at Tidel. As I came out of Tidel, I remembered that I had to visit the IGNOU regional center located at Taramani, 3 kms away from Tidel, to enquire about the status of my MBA entrance exam hall ticket (It was supposed to reach me by 8th, August).

As the bus frequency along the IT Highway was very low, I decided to walk all the way. As I walked along the road, it struck me that infact it was at this sameTidel Park that I had completed my joining formalities 3 years ago when I was with Sutherland. As I thought of my first job, many memories of the past flashed through my mind. It just dawned to me that I had QUIT EK. No more jolly tea-chat sessions with Sai, Sivan, Deepak, Jayanth, and Nagaraj. No more Cricket nets sessions, no more tea-kadai mokkai sessions at the Guindy teashop, no more Cricket discussions. For a moment, it dawned to me that things had happened too fast for me to even feel or think about it. I had spent 20 months with EK, made so many good friends, had so many great moments there, but within one month, I had said goodbye!

I came to the Nandanam office on August 12th. I got a system at 12 pm, started blogging right away. I was a bit apprehensive on how my new organization would treat me. I was feeling lonely for quite sometime before I saw my old friends Karkuzhali, Devi, and Harishankar. Meeting them made me feel better. Plus, my lead ID introduced me to my team members; all the people seemed to be very jovial and relaxed. I was given a warm welcome and within fifteen days of my joining, I have started feeling that this place would be like my second home and provide me immense knowledge and many good moments. Hope the forthcoming months prove me right!!!!!

Are we alone in this Universe????

UFO's, aliens, ET, SETI, NASA!!!!!! What comes to your mind when you hear these words? 90% would say "Aliens" or "Extra-terrestials". This is the topic of this post.

Extra Terrestial Life.
Scientists and Astronomers have always been constantly searching for life outside our planet, Earth. Unfortunately, after decades of research, all they could find (as per public records) is a dead unicellular organism obtained in Mars, some traces of water in Mars and the Moon, and if rumours are true, it is said that a plant, which is several thousand light years away, contains life.


How unfortunate are we? Are the only life forms in this enormous universe? Was god so cruel to create only man and other organisms? Definitely NO, if i am right? We are one of the most primitive life forms compared to other life in the Universe.
I am saying this because as per records, NASA says that there have been atleast 5o+ reports of UFO landings in the US alone, and according to Discovery channel, there have been atleast 5 video tapes that show UFOs hovering over fields, buildings etc, and suddenly seem to discover from sight. This itself signifies that their technology surpasses ours easily.

I am damn sure that there are life existing in other planets and they have technology much beyond our reach. It is possible that they visit Earth to watch us just out of curiosity(Similar to us watching animals during a Safari). I am damn sure that as am writing this blog post, some UFO must have landed on earth and some curious alien is exploring us somewhere. I wish i had some means to prove this. BUt since there have been atleast 27 video tapes of landing since 1947, it is hard to prove me wrong.


I am still wondering what SETI(The branch in NASA that does research on Extra Terrestial life) is doing. Are they still searching the nearby planets for life based only on water. Why are they not assuming that life need not only be based on water. Being a Botany student, i know that a few species of anaerobic bacteria such as Streptococcus and facultative anaerobes such as Eshcerichia Coli can survive without oxygen easily since they gain the required energy via different chemical processes.

My question is, "If all life forms evolved from unicellular organisms, then why can't there be life forms that are anaerobic(can live without oxygen), non-water based(may depend on gases such as Methane, Hydrogen, and maybe even Nitrogen), or why should life be based on a certain gases. Isn't there a possibility that there may be certain lifeforms that thrive on fire?

If you want to dismiss it by saying that fire kills organic cells, think again my dear friends, there is a bacteria called Deinococcus Radiodurans.


This bacteria was found in cans that contained frozen meat. These infected cans were exposed to severe radiation upto 50,000 rads(units of radiation). For good measure, lemme say that a radiation of 50 rads can kill a person. So if a bacteria can survive on such high radiation, am damn sure that there will be advanced life forms capable of surviving in conditions beyond our comprehension.

Why don't scientists think on these aspects? (I suspect that maybe there were great discoveries in recent times which may not have been reported to the media), or is it just that they pretend to ignore these facts."

To conclude this post, i assume that atleast some scientists in NASA would think from my point of view. If my assumption is correct, scientists have already discovered or may have even contacted extra-terrestials, but it just has not been reported to the public for certain reasons. Anyways, i just hope that when we do find our nearby neighbours someday, it would be a moment to rejoice and not to panic. Until then keep watching science fiction films like INDEPENDANCE DAY :-) Because that is the only chance where we get the opportunity to view some aliens
