Dragon Fight in Orion Nebula

Image
You may have seen this picture of orion nebula before. It was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope back in  2006 . But did you ever notice there was a dragon and the face of a man hidden there? Look again. It is the best pareidolia I have ever seen.

Candle in the Dark

Last weekend there was a huge rain here in Bengal. It went on incessantly for almost three days. I had to skip office on Friday. The rain and wind had disrupted the power supply in the area where I live. The power was gone for almost one and half day. The UPS at our home was out of it battery reserve until Friday night. My mobile was also on the verge of running out of battery. Then I found this candle on self of my study. I had not used a candle for a long time. So, I lit the candle. The flame was looking so beautiful that started taking these pics (below) with my mobile camera. :)

Book Review - The Red Pyramid

Image
The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan My rating: 3 of 5 stars Well, I enjoyed reading the book. Carter(14) and Sadie(12) Kane described well how they discovered that they were descendant of the ancient pharaohs and they can do magic. Good and evil Gods rise to power. The forces of Chaos and Order came into conflict. Carter and Sadie with the help of good Gods tries to restore Order the save the world from being destroyed by the evil forces. A lot of research has gone into writing this book. The author has described actual artifacts, pyramids, paintings of the ancient Egypt, the life of Egyptians and their beliefs. But they book would be most enjoyable for kids rather than adults View all my reviews
