The weird duck

This one recently hit the news for its weird appearance. Some attribute it to the recent oil slick from the tanker that crashed close by and scientists argue the bright patches to be total internal reflection on surface of the water.



An interesting news clip on this rare phenomenon is available to the interested reader by clicking here.

On marriage

I happened to hear this conversation between my grandmother and our neighbour back at our village. This neighbour(a young girl), probably 18 or 19 years old was getting married next month.
My grandmother asked her why she was marrying that particular guy and she said-" See, he has two cows, six hen and four ducks at home. I can play with them when he is away for work."

I am stunned!
