B for Butterfly!!!

-
This post is a part of A-Z April Challenge 2013.

I was thinking on what to blog about for the letter 'B'.Then, as I opened the Google page today was surprised to see an interesting Google Doodle.Today, April 2nd is the birthday of Maria Sibylla Merian, a Swiss naturalist who has made significant contribution in documenting the metamorphosis of Butterfly. I dedicate this post to her posthumously.

Underside the leaves I was lying in a shell patiently waiting,
I broke the shell as a caterpillar and ate the place where I was laid,
I kept eating over and over again happily in the glade,
Shedding my skin repeatedly with the hope of flying.

After eating enough I had to prepare for my flight,
I then decided to shed my skin for one last time,
I wriggled through to become a lazy bulky motionless pupa,
I camouflaged with the leaves for another fortnight.

Then, I went through a marvelous transformation period,
During which my camouflaged skin started displaying colors,
I was a little apprehensive to move in the beginning,
But my wings started to sway and I began to move away.

For the remaining part of my life, I was flying from flower to flower,
Aiding as a pollinator and bringing a smile in the human eye.

Love,
Ram Thilak

    A butterfly's metamorphosis always inspires me to egg on, no matter what. Butterflies represent so many things for me.

    Good one.

    Looking forward to C.

    Joy always,
    Susan

Comparision between Indian Education Framework and Australian Education Framework

This article comprises of some comparisons between our system of education and Australian framework.For the Australian part got suggestions from my buddy Pradeep Cholan currently pursuing his Biomedical Honors at Griffith University, Australia. First Of all, the primary difference between our dreadful system and their's lies in Understanding.There in Australia, students first do the concepts practically and then learn the theory part of it. This is an amazing method considering the fact that, students tend to do a lot of mistakes when attempting something practically and then when they follow up it with theory their thorough knowledge about the concept is achieved.That's the reason why students in abroad are good at problem identifying and we Indians are good at solving it. For example, in case of a parallel connection in circuits students there first do it practically, try different methods then achieve the results and finally learn the theory part of it.As they can do it p

Never worry as to what will happen if you do something in Life. As Wiz Khalifa said, "Worrying is stupid. It's like walking around with an umbrella waiting for it to rain."  Always take a leap of faith in Life and go ahead with confidence. Things will turn out well. The experience that Singapore has given me so far has been one such thing. Love Ram Thilak
