I'm gonna touch upon a few interesting information that I've come across in the course of my reading. Hope they tickle the senses of my readers too and here I go,
1. The best and the worst.
In a passenger liner aircraft, the best seat is 6A and the worst is 31E. This conclusion has been arrived at after validating user responses over a period of time. I'd doubts initially as to whether this would remain sacrosanct for all types of aircraft, but what I gather is that it's so for all. The popularity of 6A is due to the legroom, an uninterrupted view of the sky without the wings or the engines mounted on them to come in between the line of sight and the comparatively short distances to the exit/toilet! On the other hand, 31E is crammed(I thought that was so for all the seats in the middle rows!) and for all the opposites that one can conjure up.
PS.
I'm talking about the cattle......oops........economy........er......class!
2. Alarmingly dwindling vulture population!
The Indian subcontinent has been increasingly facing difficulties in the disposal of carcasses - both human and that of animals. A monumental, environmental disaster! This is because of the dwindling of the vulture population that feed on the cadaver and the singular reason for the shrinkage in their population is the use of a highly toxic chemical while handling the corpses. The Parsi custom of disposing of the dead has been worst hit and is worrisome. India, Pakistan and Bangladesh need to initiate novel methods for the enhancement of the vulture population. It's heartening to note that concrete remedial measures are on the anvil in our country!
PS.
But there seems to be no dearth of 'culture vultures' in our country!
3. Temporary loss of peripheral vision.
While on a long drive and when one's behind the steering wheel, it gets to be a common habit to get fixated on the road ahead. What happens, consequently, is a temporary loss of peripheral vision and it gets pronounced as the speed increases! The disastrous consequences cannot be over emphasised during such situations. It would be prudent, therefore, for the driver to shift his gaze on to the dashboard or swivel the head sideways to take in the sights on offer, once in a way.
PS.
This is not applicable to people, like me, who've a faulty vision of the future!
