The Year So Far


2012 has been an eventful year indeed. 
Numerous breakthroughs, mind blowing discoveries and unfortunate farewells. 


God Damn Particle 


This has been the most inspiring scientific breakthrough this year by CERN. The Higgs Boson particle has been one of the best discoveries this year which opens up a foray of scientific research opportunities. Humans will now be able to explain the Big Bang which led to the formation of this universe amidst which our Earth joyfully rests.

Though this particle is known as Higgs Boson or the God particle, it was originally known as the Goddamn particle for this tiny elusive particle exists for a really minutest possible division of time. Hence, the name. 

Federer - An Era continues

Wimbledon 2012
The Swiss champ levels his record with that of Sampras with his seven Wimbledon titles, 17th career Grand Slams and current ranking No.1. He’s one of the strong contenders who’s going to win the Olympic singles gold this year at London.
Mary Poppins

London 2012

Now, coming to London

It hosts the Olympics for the third time. The opening ceremony couldn’t match the Beijing Olympics 2008 but a decent one indeed. Danny Boyle’s work, lines from the renowned Shakespeare’s Tempest, Daniel Craig and Her Majesty’s 007 act, Voldemort’s evil act, classic Mary Poppins and the wonderful display of fireworks made it a pretty good one. 




Indian Food 

Some time in July this year, South Indian delicacy Masala Dosa 
makes it to the list of the “10 Foods to try before you die” 
compiled by Huffington Post.
