Poem: The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

In case you don't know the poem here's the link: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/173536

Last Stanza:
...

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

 

There have been number of interpretations for this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_Not_Taken) . Here's mine:

We are presented with many choices in life. We all tend to take the norm set by society and go to school, find a job, have a family and retire. While there is nothing wrong in this, few have the audacity to take the path to unknown and mold their lives and influence lives of many. And some among us who have chosen to follow the mundane norm, get a craving, a desire, a calling to test the depths of unknown.

 

 

Pluto Flyby!!

It's an exciting week with all the Pluto news. Nasa's New Horizons flies by Pluto and notices it's big heart. Upon close inspection, we notice Pluto's king (Rick and Morty) holding the sign to reinstate Pluto's planetary status with love!! :)

Evolution of the Eye!!

Something educational this time... The first 6 images I copied from wikipedia...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_the_eye

As eye is evolving, the next step is a world we experience through the cameras of our phones (might as well just attach to eyes and start our process on becoming borg... resistance is futile ;-) ) ...

Spring!!

While we enjoy the coming of spring with fresh blossoms and birds and end of winter, shouldn't take away from the fact that it is an onslaught of weather atrocities. It's cold one day, hot one day, thunderstorms one day, tornadoes other days and pollen and tree allergies galore. I imagine old weather gods (sun, wind, rain, nature) wreaking havoc on poor ol' us...

Spring is Coming!!

As opposed to Winter!! :) GoT season 5 starts this Sunday (spoiler warning: I am glad they are cutting the crappy glib parts of the latter books and moving ahead with unpublished parts..) and Avengers: Age of Ultron comes out May 1 (one of my favorite Arcs.. though devoid of Hank Pym) ... Certainly Iron man has claimed his Iron Throne... Who is going to betray him and get the next chance to sit on it.. Try to go out of the house and smell the flowers once in a while...Enjoy!!

Different Perspectives 2 - Terminator: Rise of the Machines!!

The machines are already rising as far as dogs are concerned. The vacuums no longer require humans to operate them. Roomba R-1000 is coming after Dog Conner.

In case you are wondering a new Terminator movie is coming out!! :O ... it actually looks interesting. Check out the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62E4FJTwSuc

I have a list of daily comics I read. One in particular gives me a good laugh. Was inspired by it. Check out Poncho the dog's antics in "Pooch Cafe": http://www.gocomics.com/poochcafe

Enjoy March Responsibly (or Jason's Rare Opportunities 2)!!

Jason has another rare opportunity to enjoy Guinness with his buddy Leprechaun whilst enjoying March Madness (Hey, UNC vs. Duke.. don't judge me... ) ...There is another drama unfolding around them. Snakes are not allowed in the bar (<fact check>fact incorectly attributed to St. Patrick driving them out of Ireland.. ah well we will roll with it </factcheck>), Voldemort frowns as Harry enjoys his pint safe inside (yes, yes he has grown up in this scenario). Enjoy this March responsibly!! Until April starts with Game of Thrones season 5.. oh boy!!
