Flat Earther Plans To Launch Himself In A Homemade Rocket

“ Mad” Mike Hughes, 61, limousine driver, plans to launch himself in a homemade rocket. He has spent the last few years, working on his steam powered, self proclaimed rocket. His red coloured rust bucket, built using scrap metal screams out the words “Research Flat Earth”. The first launch in January 2014 at Winkelman, Arizona where he travelled 1,374 feet and the Gravitational force had him incapacitated for weeks. The Flat Earther also holds a Guinness World Record for a limousine jump in 2002. Hughes plans on entertaining us this weekend, launching himself high into the air. He wants to prove that the Earth is flat secretly wishing the Gravitational force ignores his launch. Despite his engineering skills, Hughes says he doesn’t believe in science. “I know about aerodynamics and fluid dynamics and how things move through the air, about the certain size of rocket nozzles, and thrust,” he told the Associated Press . “But that’s not science, that’s just a formu

International Men's Day

19 th November - International Men’s Day International Men's Day is an annual international event celebrated on 19 November. It was inaugurated in the year 1992, on 7 February, by Thomas Oaster. But hold on for a second; forget about celebrating, did we even know that this day exists? Men and women are an equal right, then why isn’t men’s day grandly celebrated just like women’s day? Equality goes on a walk when it comes to talking about men, yeah? Let’s have a look at what a man does. A boy becomes a man as soon as he hits puberty. There would be competitions between them as to ‘who would grow his beard first’ even though they have no control over it. During his teens, he finds a crush and falls in love with her, he might or might not confess his love. But when he does and the girl reciprocates, he goes to any limit just to keep her happy. He does not care if she would become her wife or not. He simply gives her whatever he has at the moment. In case, the girl bre

SSS - Scam Sinister Society

   Online scams have recently boosted up in the last few years gaining quite a lot of popularity, where 5 out of 10 people get caught up in online scams and end up pouring a lump sum of hard earned money down the drain. There have been frequent cases, where the victim's bank account is hacked just by gathering personal details like location, bank account details, family details etc. Once these details are gathered, the hackers contact the concerned person luring them into revealing the OTP (one-time-password) which is used to secure online transactions, and/or other debit/credit card details. Even the banks cannot be held responsible in these cases as the victim shares the OTP voluntarily. Further, 90% of the surveyed people in India have lost money. Regionally, the average financial loss per person is Rs 6,81,070, but alarmingly in India, the average loss reaches up to Rs 8,19,000.  In India, about 39% users have been a victim of 'work from home' scam. It is a s

India

India holds a place for one of the oldest civilizations in the world, as the 7th largest country in the world, India stands out surrounded by mountains and sea, compared to the rest of Asia which gives it a distinct geographical entity.     India is one of the oldest civilizations in the world with a kaleidoscopic variety and rich cultural heritage. It has achieved all-round socio-economic progress during the last 70 years of its Independence. As the 7th largest country in the world, India stands apart from the rest of Asia, marked off as it is by mountains and the sea, which give the country a distinct geographical entity. Bounded by the Great Himalayas in the north, it stretches southwards and at the Tropic of Cancer, tapers off into the Indian Ocean between the Bay of Bengal on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west. India's glorious moment according to Indians arrived on the midnight of August 15, 1947. That glorious moment still holds me in awe, looking at the In

Struggle

‘Life without a struggle is simply a life wasted’ Life is simply not a road to walk on. It is a bumpy ride that takes you to heights as well as drag you to the bottom or just simply pushes you off the cliff. What will you do? Sit back and let life play with you like a toy until you’re broken? Of course, you can, nothing wrong in enjoying the drama at the cost of being broken. “How is it not wrong?” You enjoyed the view and thrill when life took you to the highest peak, didn’t you? You learned to live with pain when life dragged you down to the bottom. With every preceding step, life gave you a new experience, made you play different roles, made you realize the parts of yourself you never knew existed. Above everything else, it made you a stronger person. It doesn’t matter which pain you go through or how small it is, but if it makes you stronger then it definitely is worth it. Ever seen a diamond? The more it is cut, the beautiful and valuable it becomes. Let’s bring in

The Secluded Soul !

And I remember he used to say- do not rush for things which aren't yours. But now, it's too late.  I chased money just like a disciple blindly follows his teacher, foolishly assuming happiness to automatically come with it.  I had a fair share of happiness, and contentment, that which didn't last for a long time and instead had me drown in pools of regret and shame. Because all of this was my own decision. My own doing. And society, they weren't of much help either. Coz they never allow you to forget your flaws or mistakes you've done any time in your life. As they always keep me reminding to stop complaining and live the life as it is since this is the life I've chosen for myself. And now I am alone And caged.  Caged in self-accusation Caged in self-pity.  Caged in regret.  Caged in remorse. With pangs of conscience hitting me every now and then Reminding me of the mistakes I've purposely done Laughing at the immaturity

An episode of eve teasing

“I’m done with my exam. Where are you?” I said, pressing the phone in between my shoulder and ear, while I dumped the pens in my bag. “It’ll take me another ten minutes. Come over to block C and I’ll see you there.” My sister whispered on the other side. I was new to this college, how can she expect me to know where the block C is, I thought. Nevertheless, I asked her for the route with respect to the place I was standing.  I looked up to see the block A and took the stairs on right just as she said. There were about five stairs after which a garden came into view. Each tree was encircled by a heap of rocks. There were hardly some people in there. I kept walking peacefully while observing the surrounding. A few steps later, I could hear boys talking and laughing, I glanced over as to where the sound was coming from. I noticed a gang of boys, sitting in the secluded corner of the garden. Shifting my gaze back to the path I was walking on, I saw an extended staircase which was slig
