Mars weds Venus!!!

After years of research and studying 3586 couples, I've come to answer the question which troubled the universe for 89 centuries. Why Mars weds Venus? After all, they are two alien species from completely different worlds -worlds on either side of the blue planet!!!

Why Men marry Women?
Simple answer.  “Women Are Better And Smarter Than Men (It is underlined, bold and in quotes). Every species tries to evolve. And what better way than mutate with a superior species?

Now, if you are convinced about that, you would obviously ask, if men marry women because they are superior; then why do women marry the 'Inferior'  men? 

Why Women marry Men? 
Simple answer again. Women believe that...

The Capped Environmentalist!


The Lungs of the World -Amazon. Its infinite trees produce Oxygen day in and day out. But apart from giving out oxygen, the fantastic work Amazon does, is of trapping in the carbon dioxide. In today’s world with everyone trying to buy/sell carbon credits, Amazon is all philanthropic about it.

We have one more buddy on this planet, which does the same job. May not be on the scale of Amazon, but its contribution is quite significant. It’s none other than our very own Carbonated Drink. Yes the same old Black/Orange/Green liquid in our refrigerator.  Surprised? Let me explain how this belligerent Cola War fighter, plays an undercover environmentalist’s role.

You see, any fizzy drink is nothing but Carbonic Acid* dissolved into a ‘Secret Recipe’ of flavored water. And carbonic acid, H2CO3, is Carbon Dioxide dissolved into water under high pressure. Carbonated drinks contain 0.2% to 1% CO2. So your 1Ltr pet bottle would be home to 10gms of CO2. In actuality, it TRAPS the dreaded carbon dioxide!!!

One may say “Boy oh boy! You write this whole crap to tell me of this 10gms???”  So, in my defense I have my calculations ready on Microsoft Excel. Here goes the number crunching**… A flight from Delhi to Mumbai (one way only... can’t afford the round trip) would release 0.205 tonnes of CO2. Assuming a flight can carry 200 passengers, it boils down to 10250grams of CO2 contributed by each passenger. Which is approximately the CO2 content trapped by 1025, one liter bottles of carbonated drinks. Equivalent of planting 25 trees and that’s quite substantial.

But there is a catch. The CO2 is trapped in those bottles as long as the bottle is closed. As soon as you open it... Fizzz… There escapes the CO2!!!! So go ahead, buy those colas and stuff then in your refrigerator… Don’t open them though!! J
