Eyes reveal so much

Eyes reveal health secrets of the brain via New Scientist

THE eyes may be the windows to the soul, but they also make pretty good peepholes into the brain.

the opening line is too good... and so is the rest of the article

The technique works very much like ultrasound, but bounces light off the tissue instead of sound waves. One beam of light is fired at the tissue and another at a reference mirror. When the reflected beams have travelled an identical distance, interference will make their combined beam brighter than if the distances are different. So by reflecting one beam off of different layers of tissue, and moving the reference mirror until the combined reflected beam is brightest, the technique can measure the depths of each section of tissue and build up a detailed image of its structure. It has proved particularly useful in ophthalmology because the semi-transparent nature of retinal tissue makes it possible for OCT to penetrate to greater depths - up to several millimetres. When applied to the OND it can give information about both the shape and thickness of retinal nerve fibres, allowing even subtle changes to be tracked.

कुछ यादें भुलाने की
फिर से जी भर मुस्कुराने की
नए सपने सजाने की

koshish

kuch yadien bhulane ki
phir se ji bhar muskurane ki
naye sapne sajane ki

It is good to see that we are winning something other than cricket... There was another juniors grand slam that we won recently i have to get to the info.

some days you wish to give up,
some days you wish not to be strong,
some days you wish others to take initiative to set things right,
some days you wish people understand not judge,
some days you wish friends to trust not ask,
some days you just wish

but then it isn't going to be so...

Is this really happening??!?!?!

Mangalore incident is Talibanisation of India: Renuka via CNN IBN

I simply don't know what to say to this incident. I wonder how the hell do these people call themselves Hindus. I know there will be many to suport them. But is this the way to stop teenagers from drinking. Have I missed something or is this the age where there is nothing else other than voilence?
