If you have everything that you ever wished for, you will not be able to enjoy your life, if you are not healthy. Therefore, being healthy should always be on the top of your to-do list, that you anyone can make the most of whatever he or she is blessed with. The world is not perfect, nor is our lifestyle, we do so many things that could potentially kill us or at the least cut short our life expectancy considerably. As most of the world’s population now resides in cities, we hardly ever get the exercise we need, and on…

It has not been that long since the first true airplane took off for its maiden flight. It all started with the right flyer taking to the skies in the year 1903, and now a little over a century later, airplanes have become a mainstay in our society. Statistics show that it is practically safer to travel by air than to travel by road. Also, traveling by air is extremely convenient as it saves up an immense amount of time. Therefore, it has become the primary means of travelling across a considerable distance from point A to point B. Literally…
Keeping healthy and fit is the new global movement. I mean, with so many things around that can easily make you sick, we needed something like this. The majority of the world’s population has now become city dwellers. And in city conditions, we hardly get the physical exercise we need. With elevators, escalators and vehicles of all sorts we hardly ever work a leg. And if you consider the food, mainly the fast food culture, then you have the perfect recipe for disaster. However, we are not talking about some fitness program, rather we will be taking a look at…
Apart from a few really promising nations, most of the continent of Asia is still quite underdeveloped and plagued by political unrest and corruption. And India happens to be one of the most promising nations hailing from that continent. There are a couple of things that sets India apart from other countries in the continent, it is the world largest democracy home to approximately 1.2 billion people, it has considerable military strength in the region and has nuclear weapons, and most notably, it is the world’s most prominent emerging market today. Today we will be talking about some expensive beer…
Even though we like to proclaim that as humans we strive for peace, but the history of mankind has been forged in war. And so the legacy continues even to this day and age. Every war matters, but not every war determines the fate of an entire nation, not every war gives rise to heroes like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and so many more. Yes, we are talking about the Revolutionary war. This is the war that marks the beginning of the journey of a great nation, and perhaps the most powerful country in the world today. Though…
Genetic modification is basically the direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. It has a wide array of applications, both commercial and military. But today we will only be focusing on its one such application that pretty much affect every human being alive. Genetic modifications have been successfully used on many vegetables and crops for a long time. What genetic modification does, is that it induces radical changes to the subject organism to have a desired effect. For example, we can take corn. Corn plants have been genetically modified to resist pest infestation and also through genetic modification the…
It has not been long since the advent of smartphone technology, and already it is reshaping how we interact and how we go about our daily lives. I mean before 2007, video conferencing on the go or spending heaps of money shopping while you are waiting in a queue was just something straight out of science fiction. But as we all know, after Apple introduced their flagship I phone that year, everything pretty much changed. One thing must be pointed out here, that Apple like always target the rich spectrum of consumers, but today there is a smartphone for every…
We just love pets, from kittens to dolphins we have managed to pet quite a lot animals. Some pet owners even fancy dangerous animals as venomous snakes and spiders. These things are considered as exotic pets. However, there have been just one species of animal that can be called “Man’s best friend” and that honor goes to the dog. If you have never owned a dog, you would probably not understand how strong the bond is between the owner and the animal. The dog is an extremely loyal animal, and would even sacrifice itself to protect its owner. Dogs have…
Petroleum is perhaps the most important substance in the modern world. Some would even go as far as to calling it “The Black Gold”. Though we have been able to harness nuclear power, but still the civilian application for nuclear power remains restricted to producing electricity only and this technology is only available to a handful of countries. Therefore, petroleum is still the dominant source of energy that essentially powers the whole world. Every vehicle there is, except the nuclear submarines, is powered by some purified form of petroleum. Starting from your family car, to the fighter jets that are…
There are not many things that can bring together people from different ethnicities, nationalities and religion like music. It easily transcends the language barrier. Someone without any knowledge of a song’s actual lyrics can easily enjoy it seamlessly. Music also has the power to inspire, rejuvenate and raise the morale of the masses. It is a powerful medium that can carry the purest of emotions with grace and brings people together. Today we will be talking about some songs that are so popular that multiple generations of artists have taken it upon themselves to have a go at it, and…
Peace is something that we have been trying to achieve since the dawn of humanity. But perhaps peace is the most elusive thing there is, because after thousands upon thousands of years, global peace has yet to be found. The entire history of humankind has been forged by war and turmoil, and to this day this legacy continues. Today we will be addressing a rather grim reality of life, when a country goes to war against a foreign enemy or worse a civil war breaks out, what happens to the commoners? The majority of a country’s population has nothing to…
Food is one of the best blessing from God that we get to enjoy. I think most will agree that there is nothing like sitting down to a good meal with the family after a long day of work. Today, though, we will not talk about family dinners, rather the food itself. Today the world is home to more humans that it has ever been in the past. We must grow more food in order to feed the people, and the land available for this purpose is not increasing. Thankfully, scientists have once again stepped up for the rescue. Breakthroughs…
