Having made a list of places to be visited last night,i thought i had things in place. There wasn't any particular plan made for the day.So mom and i decided to go to 'Science City' as a lot of other places were closed today.(Monday being a holiday for them).
I wasn't too sure of the interest factor for adults in the science city but still wanted to go.Well,there is no age to enjoy the marvels of science.Just as we were entering,i saw some irritated teachers trying hard to control the kids and making them stand in a line.For a moment i got reminded of my school picnic days when each student was assigned a picnic partner and asked to hold their hand. 'Both of you have to be together everywhere and don't leave each other's hands',is what the teacher instructed us loud and clear.
We first made our way to a museum kind called 'Evolution of life'.This museum had figures of dinosaurs,early man,wild animals etc. The special effects and sound is what made it really interesting and scary at times too.
Next on the list was 'Dynamotion'.This is a really fun place where a lot of science concepts like reflection of light,Visualization of sound etc are all depicted practically through some device setup.Its indeed a very good place for the students to learn and take more interest in the magic of science. We were running short of time and decided to go to one amongst the three major attractions here.The must see's of this place are 'Space Theatre' ;'3D show' and 'Time Machine'. I had seen a lot of posters all along the way depicting the movie to be screened here and hence was really excited to experience this first.There is no screen in the theatre,rather it is made in such a way that it appears as though we are watching a movie in space.Like a 3D film, some of the movements in the movie make you feel as though you are with them.
'Mystery of the Blue Nile ' , the epic story of the first expedition down the world's greatest and deadliest river.
The story revolves around two intrepid explorers who set out to conquer all 3260 miles of the world's greatest river in a single descent from its source in the Ethiopian Highlands to the Mediterranean Sea.
For 114 days, the explorers and their crew faced nearly in-surmountable challenges as they made their way down the Blue Nile and Nile river in two rafts and a kayak, traversing three countries in some of the world’s remotest regions. Deadly crocodiles and hippos, the world’s most dangerous rapids, armed bandits, AK-47-toting militia, blinding sandstorms, exposure to malaria, and the relentless heat of the fierce desert sun are just some of the obstacles they faced.
MYSTERY OF THE NILE brings the expedition’s bold voyage to life with unmistakable realism.It is a movie you'd be happy of having watched it. If all this excitement is on one side,then a feeling of giddiness and nausea are on the other side.If you are little weak hearted kinds(which i am at certain times),then u just wanna go home and hit the bed. Well,we decided to do just that thinking we'd cover the remaining some other time.I love technology and the marvels it has done to the human kind are amazing.Going to science City has been a different experience in itself. I loved and enjoyed every bit of what i saw.
I spent the rest of the afternoon at home watching movies and reading some old magazines.
With only 6 days of my stay left here,and a lot of places yet to be covered, its gonna be a yet another eventful day tomorrow.
[My head is still spinning after the 'Space Theatre' show.]
Time to hit the bed now.
SHUBH RATRI !!!

| “The Nile is the most magnificent river in the world. No other river can compare. And no other river in the world is as closely associated with a particular culture and society as is the Nile. Without the Nile there would be no Egypt, no pharaohs, no pyramids.” |
