Donald Duck

wak wak wak wakk waakk....!!!!

Here comes Donald Duck..

Today, I felt like knowing more about this quacker.. And sharing it with you guys..

Donald Duck is an American cartoon from Walt Disney Company. Donald's most famous personality trait is his easily provoked and explosive temper. He has beed officially honored as the third most popular cartoon character of all times with Bugs Bunny at number 2 and fellow Mickey Mouse topping the list.

Donald first appeared in The Wise Little Hen on June 9, 1934 which is also regarded as his birthday.

Donald's voice, one of the most identifiable in all of animation, was performed by voice actor Clarence 'Ducky' Nash. It was largely this semi-intelligble speech that would cement Donald's image into audience's mind and help fuel his image to stardom.

Hot-headed Donald is a little man in a big world. Call it fate or call it lack of self control, nothing goes right for this duck; even his best intentions sometimes go awry. He can't understand why life is seems so much easier for pals Mickey and easy-going Goofy. Its not fair. But still, Donald keeps struggling to get what he deserves in this world.

He's not a loser, not a quitter and he'll go down fighting. This is a duck with one short fuse and an amazing command on language. It doesn't matter how much humiliation world dishes out to him, he takes it all...!!

Why Don't We Laugh When We Tickle Ourselves..??

Heyie Guys..

Most of you must have tried this and asked the same question... So, here's the answer for you..!!

When we are tickled, we laugh and wriggle. This is what is termed as reflex action, an action which takes place without any thought on our part.

When we try to tickle ourselves, the brain knows that we are going to do it and so there is no reflex action.

Where Do SPACECRAFT Get Their Power From..??

Well...

Spacecrafts can not carry large supplies of fuel and there aren't any filling stations in space. Instead, many have large panels of solar cells. These capture sunlight and turn it into electricity. The Sun always shines in space, so there is always electricity to power the spacecraft.

Some space probes travel to the outer planets far from the Sun. There the sunlight is too weak for solar cells, and the probes have small nuclear power plants instead.

These plants produce electricity from a small amount of a long lasting nuclear fuel like phetonium.

India Needs VISION

Based on our past experience of many decades in varied fields of development or drawbacks, we come to the conclusion that our leaders shy away from articulating  plans and vision, blundering directly into action. And, action without vision, as several Indian internal quagmires reveal, is recipe for disaster.

India whines, old and new, reflect our innate security and our ill-articulated view of the road ahead. After spending many eras under the yoke of conquerors and until the 1990s as third world backwaters, I guess insecurity and craveness go hand in hand.

But being better than the world takes a little more than a few nuclear warheads, a semi successful cricket team, the glamour of Bollywood and 6-7% economic growth.

It takes VISION.

During the World War II, Churchill offered his country an extraordinary vision " We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight landing ground, we shall fight in the streets, we shall never surrender." Barrack Obama swept to power and owns a Noble Peace Prize on strength of vision.

" A developed India by 2020 or even earlier need not be mere vision but mission we can all take up."

Had we imbibed the vision and planning, the attack on Mumbai by sea route or attack on parliament could not have taken place. So, on this side of security we must have clear-cut vision and planning to deal with effectively.

And case of terrorism, we must prepare a vision and planning to curb it. Like wise, the appearance of maoists are the result of lack of vision. Had there been proper understanding and realisation, they could not have extended the terror tentacles in all its manifestation.

Unless we have vision, be it climate change, productivity, security, family planning and host of other aspects concerning science and technology, we can not be a prosperous nation- encompassing all fields.
