Michael Phelps Ka Kachha

Is Michael Phelps the greatest Olympian? Or is his Speedo LZR undie the fastest undie to ever dip into a swimming pool?

Found this article quite informative on the topic, especially the conclusion, which is quite hillarious.

Perhaps they could go back to competing nude as they did at the original games. It would make the swimming and track events more interesting but, on the other hand, the weightlifting would be positively terrifying. Maybe that’s not such a good idea after all.

Photos of French Nuclear Test

These are four scanned pictures of hardcopies of the French nuclear test codenamed Licorne, which was fired on July 3rd, 1970 . The French army had those pictures taken on site.

Feluda Music Decode

Ok, please don't make me unhappy and ask who is Feluda.
See this quietly, before you read on - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feluda

Now, given my recent decoding bug, I tried to decode the extremely familiar background score of Feluda movies.

Here's the result:
Major Scale

S S N(lower) S R
G G M G R

P(lower) S N(lower) S

Howzzat?

To refer, check out this video.


Go to 6:38 and hear out the tune.

Satyajit Ray ko mera salaam :) I'm such a big Feluda Fan boy :) And it feels quite awesome to be able to play some of the score. Loads of nostalgia. I've been reading Feluda and watching Feluda films since I was a kid.

Why? Because after 2+ years, I'm able to Decode!!! Yipee!!
For the musically challenged, 'decode' is the holy grail for people interested in Lead Guitaring. It means you can listen to a tune/song/melody and then pick out the notes and play them yourself.

Of course there are levels of decoding, just as there are layers on an onion. I'm at the peel now, to give you an analogy. I can pick simble songs like the one above. But even so, the feeling is quite wonderful.

I've submitted the decode to my master and when he gets back I'll know how close/far I was. But in general people are able to understand that this is Hum Honge Kamyaab!
