Just a minute

Came across a very interesting fact, Luis Huchins was a very hard working employee of a factory. There used to be a long distance between his residence and his workplace. But still he was able to manage somehow to reach factory on time by waking up at 4 am.


Luis was not having any problem for this, as in summer it was very simple for him to wake up early. But the real trouble was during winter as it is very difficult to come out of blanket in breezy cold and this would lead him to wake up late.

This would result him to reach late at factory. Moreover boss would also scold him. Ageing bought more difficulties to him and he often used to get late for the work.

Luis was having a wonderful habit of reading, where once he came to know that in certain countries people used to use mirror on which Sun rays would fall and get reflected on the eyes of the people sleeping which would led them to wake up early.

This idea was reliable upto certain extent as there is not fix time for Sun to rise especially during winter it would rise late and during monsoon it would hide behind the clouds. So this would again lead the same problem of being late.

This made him to get an innovative idea, as he thought why there cannot be solution where the watch would make sound at 4 am. He as was already a hard worker worked very hard on it and it was then one of the most important invention for todays hectic life took place, i.e. an alarm clock.

It concludes that when we work hard on the ideas we get to overcome our own limitations then the saying that “Necessity is the mother of all inventions” will held correct.

Dry and Wet environment

The blogging led me to get interested in reading habit, just started, hope it increases and be consistent. I recently read somewhere about the commonly discussed subject of environment, but things written there were not so usual but very significant so I am here to share a glimpse of the same.


Two of the most frequently uttered words are the Sun and corruption since years! Now we have another habitually used word that is pollution. Any type of pollution can lead the earth to an end.

Normally we will find in all cities and almost in all house buildings the clothes getting dried up. These clothes make the beautiful house look ugly! Nowadays its prohibited (legally) to dry up clothes in the society in this manner, still ‘sab chalta hai’. This disease of ‘sab chalta hai’ nowadays can be seen in American countries also.

In those countries this method of drying clothes is prohibited and if done then the person concerned is penalized. But the women there have started a remonstration, the reason? Then said to check pollution. What?!!! What is the connection between drying up clothes in public and checking pollution?

Well they are connected; this is the claim of the organization called project laundry list from pensylvinia. They say that they will continue to dry clothes in public through sunlight. This helps to reduce the use of electricity by 6% (electric dryer). Not only that, it would also decrease the emission of carbon in the air…!

The experts of pollution control also have admitted that let them do that… thus now other five states have told the concerned authorities that not to disturb these people who dries up their clothes in public.

So don’t feel ashamed to dry up clothes in public what say!?
