Why the Recent Asteroid Impact news can't be Ignored?

Asteroid, small bodies that wander the infinite space.
Well the recent news of a big asteroid that was on near collision with the earth is a big surprise.
And why this news cannot be ignored!

First of all the discovery time of asteroid was too short.

• The asteroid was spotted just 4 days before it crossed its nearest earth point!!
• Secondly due to such a short notice the size was estimation was wrong and the asteroid was twice as large!! 

In order to prevent a asteroid from colliding with earth we should have early knowledge and probably years before collision to prepare an impact avoidance strategy. 

Had this asteroid collided with earth a large amount of human race would have been wiped out and earth atmosphere would have been affected so bad that nothing would thrive for at least next 100 years

Asteroid are know to have caused mass extinctions on earth.

After the impact takes place large amount dust will spread in to atmosphere which will reduce the amount of sunlight reaching earth. this will result in a cold atmosphere on earth known as impact winter causing
massive damage to both biosphere and humans alike.


When a impact with earth occurs , the amount of damage depends upon the size as well as the speed of the asteroid.
So comets which have high speed can cause more damage than a relatively bigger asteroid.

The most devastation extinction was caused by the asteroid at Chicxulub in Mexico that was 10km in diameter and caused a impact crater of 180 km diameter and is thought to be the main reason for dinosaur extinction. 

One of the best know recent event of asteroid impact is the Tunguska event in Russia in 1908. In this event a large asteroid burst just 6-9 km above earth surface causing the wiping of a thousand of km of forest and if it had occurred over a city it would have destroyed the entire city.

Although this time we have been saved next time we wont be so lucky, so we should devise a strategy and be completley ready to avoid a human extinction event.

Mantralaya , State's Most Important Building Under Fire

Mantralaya the iconic building in Mumbai was under fire on Thursday which is major news relating to security and disaster management in such high valued government buildings.
Also a lot of conspiracy theories have popped up which point to starting fire in order to destroy important papers or to hand over building development to private builders.
Many conspiracy theorist suggest that fire may been started to destroy documents relating to Adarsh scam in which many high profile minister were accused.

A lot of important documents have been burned in the fire. Government was in the process of digitising documents, but as with majority of government work, the process was slow and hence digitization couldn't be completed in time.

This fire in such an important building shows the mess in the disaster management of major govt institution .The fire brigade had problem to douse the fire because of the cars parked in the vicinity.

Chagan Bhujbal has said that it will take three months for the building to be fully operational. Fire Proof plywood and other high quality materials will be used to do the renovation work so to avoid disasters in future. "The proposal on installing fire sprinklers was ready and awaiting a sanction for Rs. 10 crore," he said. had the fire sprinkler been installed the fire would have caused less damage.

As of now to resume work Gt Hospital and MTNL office would be used by Mantralaya officials.

A Crime branch probe has been ordered in to the incident. As of now the Police will check the CCTV footage and interrogate the witness who saw the inferno to determine the cause.
Short circuit in the server room is thought to be the cause of the fire but only after the full investigation will the government issue the cause of fire.

How Petrol Price rise has made Auto Rickshaw more preffered than B.E.S.T. Bus

Oil Price rise is a issue that affects everything and everyone. Recent increase in  Petrol price in India has made everything costlier.


Increase in fuel price increase cost everywhere from industry ,transportation ,travelling, food, and commodity price rise. In other words it affects each and every sphere of our life. 

In Mumbai majority of commuters use Local trains for transport majorly for long distance travel.
Second option is the B.E.S.T. bus.
And for quick and comfortable travel people prefer auto rickshaw.

Due to the massive price rise in petrol, price of B.E.S.T. and rickshaw commute has gone up.
But since the recent B.E.S.T. price rise is steep, I think now rickshaw is a better transport than Bus.

China, The Future Space Leader?

Space is a entity that every country dreams to capture. Majority of them do it for military purposes. Launching Military satellites and communications satellite becomes the first step and then comes near space and further space missions

Currently only USA can be considered as a Space power having developed its space technology a lot and only one to send man on moon. Although NASA ambition may be marred by recent cuts to it and no space shuttle to fly currently , but it has included private players to cope with it.{See : SpaceX}

China the new economic power seems to also bear the ambitious of becoming a major space power. China had done an unmanned space docking recently which was a major success to its ambition of making its own space station and becoming a more sophisticated player in space race
