Light and Heat

Wen light falls on something that particular object becomes hot.
So does light and heat exhibit in the same form. Well may be it does but i feel that they can be treated as two separate entities though linked. Light is just what enables us to see. Whereas heat must be some transfer of energy.
Light can also be said as a transfer of energy. Consider this light is electron rotating causing certain wavelengths in the visible spectrum to be emitted. When this electron collides with some other object
it will transfer all of its energy elastically to the object. Since it does not have infinite energy it should to stop or at least slow down in the rotatory motion. This should cause a change in the wavelength emitted by that electron. Now if it is in the visible spectrum we see it. If it isn't we cant
The object to which it collided should now acquire the energy transferred by the electron. This should cause the electron in the object to revolve faster than before causing hindrance to the opposing forces in the material of which the electron is a part.
This friction can be responsible for the heat liberated.
Now again if that electron is rotating and emitting in the visible region we see the a particular colour
if it stops we see a change in the colour of the object when light falls on it.
most interestingly if all the energy from the colliding electron is transferred to the object that particular electron should stop rotating and also if the electron that it collided with wastes all of its energy as heat in opposition to the material forces of bonding then we should not be able to see anything
May be this is how black holes are. Light doesn't come out well because there is no energy left
all of it just gets spent in overcoming the nuclear forces in the material making that up.

Tennis Court lines are more Wet ??

As compared to the court the  lines generally become more wet even if the amount of rain falling is less.
That's mainly because the lines are made of some form of vinyl compound. By its very nature it does not absorb water. Hence the lines remain more wet as compared to the court where more amount of water is absorbed.

Freedom From Expectations

We think failure is the reason for us to not to try out things which are different when compared to the regular flow of things. I don't feel this may be the only reason. More prominently i feel that its the expectation to succeed or fail that's what is the reason for us not trying. We are afraid of what we expect and more prominently we are afraid of what others expect from us and how we would actually live up to what they expect from us. If we were free from these expectations i think we would have much better chance of doing things in a different way and may be a better way.
Generally, its a tendency for any sports person, destined for greatness as per others, to take a lot of time to win the first cup or tournament at the highest level. But once the first one is done everything else just becomes simple and comes so very fast.
We definitely cant say that the particular person is afraid of losing or is not playing at his best because of the pressure in those situations. They may be applicable to some extent but more prominently i feel its the price to pay when someone becomes too great too early as per the general perception of people.
Anyway if there was some way in which we could get rid of this expectation factor then it may just show us what we think we are capable, what others think we are capable of and most importantly what we actually are capable of .

RARP And IARP

ARP
or address resolution protocol as we all tend to know it.
So this basically is used when we know the ip address or the logical address of some machine and don't know its mac or physical address.
Again physical addresses are used for sending the data to the user or host and network address to determine where is he located for e.g.
network address can be considered to be extension in a phone no that determines which country or state
and the remaining digits the actual phone. Needless to say that both of them are equally important.

OK so now that's done. RARP and IARP are reverse ARP and Inverse ARP.
Both of them are used when we don't know the network address but we are aware of the mac address
We implying the system. So then whats the difference??
Well RARP is used when the machine does not its own ip address but knows its mac address
and IARP is used when we know the layer 2 data but are unaware of the layer 3 mapping
I used the term 'mapping' in context to frame relays because this is where we will mostly come across the term IARP. It is when we know the DLCI information but we are unaware of the mapping.
Here we would be the device connected to the Frame Relay network.

TTL

TTL or time to live
it has two meanings based on the reference of things
if we are considering the Internet and a web site
then it is the amount of time the Internet explorer can keep a page in memory without having to check for updates for e.g. if its 4 hrs
then after 4 hrs that particular page has to be updated

if it is considered with respect to ip  protocols and other such protocols in a router design
then it is the no of hops a particular path consists of.
as in from one router to the next how many routers are there in its path to the destination network
for e.g. rip had a hop count of 15
broadcast packets have a hop count of 1
this is decremented at every router or hop

Purpose

Nature has built everything with a definite purpose. Everything is so bloody well, mind the language,planned and timed. Everything has its own purpose and meaning. And the amazing is part is
that nature has taken care of embedding this purpose in all of its creations by default. Birds and animals
live their lives by set rules which nature has laid for them. These rules ultimately ensure that no matter what happens the particular entity fulfils its own role in nature's play for all.
Now the problem is were do we fit in all this. What is the purpose of our existence?
I definitely don't think that its just so that we can somehow tilt the balance in some way.  Maybe it is for the sole reason of tilting the balance so that there can be a new beginning. For something to begin some other thing must end.
God as I refer to nature must have put some duty to fulfil in exchange of our existence.Or is it that we are just an anomaly screwing with GOD thus having our fate sealed........
