Strange thing about the sense of smell

Have you ever noticed that when you smell something, you also get a clue of weather the stuff is sweet or sour. Well, I guess this is an assistance of past experience or maybe we can never tell.

Recently, I took a ripe seed of a garden palm in had. As I smelt it, I felt that it could be sweet. i had never seen it before and had nobody to consult. I was curious to find out if my sense of taste through smell was right. i did not know if it could harm, yet I wanted to taste. And when I did taste, it did taste sweet!

Here is the picture seeds discussed:

Car Key Battery Replacement

If somebody tells you that car key battery replacement would cost you ₹450, and it sounds ridiculous to you, do not let somebody argue against that feeling. A cell for you car key would hardly cost ₹25 - ₹40. All you need to do is buy and replace the old one. However, most people would tend to think that these little devices that interact with your car and keep it safe, are gadgets that you should not meddle with it. Well, give it another thought. If you have a key and it’s duplicate and you need to change both you would end up paying about ₹850 for something that you can manage to do yourself.

The Con and the Conch shell

The recent video on WhatsApp of the peculiar behavior of a conch shell, that finds it way to the surface when buried under a sack of rice grains may make some believe that the conch in itself has magical powers. The idea may not be farfetched as it's used as device to please gods in some of the eastern cultures in religious rituals. Some minds may immediately think that the shape of the conch itself may make the rice grains flow underneath the shell and since the flow must happen from the vicinity of the shell itself this would happen along it's surface and ultimately from it's top thus pushing the shell upward. In the west people would use computer graphics and probably fix camera to the conch shell to see the ground reality. Now if all those scientific experiments leave people clueless, the chemical engineers might pitch in to investigate if the shell reacts with the rice to form any gas that fill up the shell from the bottom and makes it rise above the rice in w
