Angry Bird Hoax

I recently have seen many people sharing pic of an angry bird which the pic claims that it is real.. The shocking part was that everyone had shared the same pic.. So I did my own research and found out that they are genuine paintings made by Mohamed Raoof from India (just paintings..!!!) .... Here are all 7 paintings by him..

 

 

 Hats off to him..!!

Rumor: Contact lens melt on the eye

I just saw many people posting that contact lens melt with the eye and cause people to go blind.
Here is the exact article :
"A 21 year old guy had worn a pair of contact lenses during a barbecue party.(An event or meal at which food is cooked outdoors over an open grill or fire)
While barbecuing he stared at the fire charcoals continuously for 2-3 minutes.
After a few minutes, he started to scream for help and moved rapidly, jumping up and down.
No one in the party knew why he was doing this?

Then he admitted into the Hospital, the doctor said he'll be blind permanently because of the contact lenses that he had worn.
Contact lenses are made by plastics, and the heat from the charcoal melted
his contact lenses."


The Analysis:

Here are some facts from my experience and you will find them true if you google also..

Firstly, I wear contact lenses on a regular basis.. I can safely say that this is false and a rumor..
and  I have even barbequed many times wearing contact lens.. The only thing which will makes you jump up and down is when any small splinter (dust) blows into your eyes and causes irritation..
However, the fact that prolonged wear of contact lens does make the removal of contact a bit tough (not impossible), but just putting a few drops of lubricating drops solves this also..!!

Another point that before the contact lens melts they get dehydrated and turn into brittle glass which in no case can remain in the eye. (around 82% of contact lens is water) . They are disinfected near 121 degrees  Celsius (http://www.contamac.com/Products/Silicone-Hydrogel/)  at  even when disinfecting them, they are kept in an aqueous medium to prevent them from dehydrating..

The bottom line is, before the contact lenses melt on your eyes, your face’s skin might have burnt out.

Finally,  Contact lens are made from SILICA (silicone hydrogels)...!!! NOT Plastics..!!! (silicone hydrogels to be precise)

Kindly, note that this is a rumor nothing else..

Review : BSNL 3G data card

On 3rd February I had come to Pune for GE/PI of SCMHRD and SIBM Bangaluru, as I needed internet on the go my dad got BSNL 3G data card. I was really shocked and surprised at the speed..  And as they say a picture is worth a thousand words here are two of the many tests I performed..

And this is still not the full story.. To really test the stability I started updating my laptop while surfing.. Here are the results

I know people will me judgmental.. That is why I have uploaded the pictures rather than bragging about the speed.. Now you be the judge..

EDIT:

I forgot to write.. That nearly all wireless providers give support  only for Windows, but BSNL 3G data card has support for Linux (only debian at moment) as well as Mac also..!!!

If you have any more query please feel free to ask..
