Few all time weird things!

1 February 2009 997 views 13 Comments AUTHOR: Shekhar

Life keeps us so engaged, occupied, thrilled and exhausted that we tend to overlook the greatest weirdest mysteries that surround us.  Lets take a peek at a few of them.

1) Mosquitoes - Honestly, the most ghastly mystery of nature and also the most powerful. Man has digg’ed deep to find natural resources, reached the outer space to explore, developed vaccines to tackle some deadly diseases and took communication efficiencies to a new level. But what about dealing with a little mosquito? No final answer yet. The repellents, stun guns and other equipments have been invented, but lets face it, the mosquitoes are the ultimate come back kids and they always come around to suck our blood or sing those deadly numbers in our ears. Strange!

2) Birds crashing Boeing’s - How many times have we read in news papers about a bird colliding with an air plane or getting stuck somewhere, leading to the big powerful machine to surrender and opt for an emergency landing or worst crash?  The aircraft’s are build to ease through the deadly lightning in the clouds without getting scratched, land on water if required, and dodge a missile in a war, but when it comes to colliding with a bird, it goes down with it. Weird! 

3) Ghosts - Have you seen it? - No. Have you felt it? - Maybe. Do you know someone who has seen it? - Yes. This is the standard ghostly pattern with all individuals. No one has ever seen a ghost but be rest assured their uncle’s nephew has seen one.  Wacko!

4) Appearance in the region - The face cuts of people keep changing as we move along the latitude and longitude of this planet. You move along from China, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and into Africa and you will see distinctive changes in how people look. I can understand those Chinese eyes passing with generations, but how did they get there at the first place? Mysterious!

That’s it for now. More weird stuff to follow…

    Reminds me of the ghost you claim to have seen at Shantineketan.

    Also, right up there with mosquitoes are cockroaches.

    Chinese Eyes : My Theory… the SUN was very strong in that part of the world in the Old old age and there were no sunglasses so they had to squint to see everything :)

    @ abhilash & Shakes: I saw the Shantineketan ghost too and I totally believe in voo-doo & black magic … wanna discuss that in detail??

    ok a wierd …wierd one… small babies laugh or smile when u play with then and cry when they get hurt..etc etc..how the hell do they know they had to laugh or smile..i mean i could have been vice versa as well..no..hardcoded i guess..

  • Shekhar said:

    @Kunz: LOL! Ill buy your chinese eyes theory for the time being.

    @Josh: I’m clueless man. Very weird.

  • Abhilash said:

    Shakes… You and Malik said a ghost was on your cycle when you were passing the damn graveyard…

    The Faces: Chinese ancestors landed on their faces every time they got off the boats and wagons and shit like that. So then the genes decided…”Hey! What the fuck lets just make em that way!”

    Joshi… Babies also cry when they do potty or sussu. So the hardcoding must be going wrong some where cause I definitely feel a lot of relief when I do either of those things :-)

  • Abhilash said:

    Also… you guys should start using Gravatars.

  • Nitin Joshi said:

    @lash..yeah ur r right man..so its gets more wierd then..huh..i cant believe we r having this discussion….lol

  • wanderer said:

    The chineese eyes came from evolution… wayyyyyyyy back when there were a lot of mosquitoes in china and people could not keep theyr eyes open else they would get into theyr eyes so ….

  • Shekhar said:

    LOL! You guys have come up with amazing theories for chinese eyes. I should compile them all into a seperate blog :)

    @Abhilash: When me and malik agree on something, it generally is a planned lie.. Ha Ha! I hope he is not reading. Malik you there? Knock Knock.

  • puja said:

    You always leave me wondering about so many things and im very impressed with all the theories your friends have coined about Chinese eyes.But seriously how did they get those eyes?? then again….How??actually??no yaar,Really??How on earth man??How??

  • Shekhar said:

    hey hey hey… take it easy. don’t sweat it too much. People have come up with some good one’s here… but the truth really is that back in the day, the chinese people would like to poke each others eyes with an eating fork. hence people would keep them eyes slanted for protection. it continued for years .. and then about a 100 years ago the king passed a resolution to ban sharp eating silverware and replace by wooden sticks .. better known as chop sticks today. but it was too late then as the slanted fashion had reached the genetics.

    or the other legend is that people there are just too lazy to make an effort to open thier entire eye. some people also refer it as a tactic to save energy.
