We are the Planeteers..... n you can be one too..!
Coz "Saving our Planet is the thing to do.."!
"The Power is Yours!"

Just happened to remember few lines of this song! Anyways, i was just wondering what "Go Green" meant and actually came up with quite a few things which GREEN could mean.

i. Vegetarian - Any product marked with a green dot is considered vegetarian and those marked with red is non veg!

ii. Vegetables - The greens refer to the vegetables.. especially the leafy vegetables!

iii. Natural - Given in abundance by nature!!

iv. Composting material - You can actually segregate the kitchen waste and compost the greens part and a make a small garden for yourself too!

v. Recyclable - If u compost it, that means u r literally recycling it!

vi. Eco-friendly - Environment fiendly and hence eco- friendly!

vii. Organic - My chemistry knowledge says, its those which contain Carbon!

viii. Renewable - Over some period of time, they are produced again!

ix. Reusable - Need not explain this i guess!

x. Biodegradable - Its biodegradable and hence you can compost it!

This was just a small information on greens as in food! But "go green" also implies saving water, fuel,electricity etc or in other words using it wisely! Thanks to YFS for making me think so much about environment! :P I have a feeling my next blog will be an environment oriented one too!!

Now i guess you know what i am talking about! These are the applications on facebook! Lord, i just got obsessed with myself taking up all these tests! They are really a crazy set of questions to be answered and then the results are out! There are times when i have laughed like hell seeing the answers and a few times saying nah that's not me!! Another thing i noticed was my friends too are taking these quizzes and a few are making up their own quizzes! WATEVER!! i had fun answering them! And for this reason i can say Facebook is ok!! But orkut still rocks!!

DVC v/s A&D

This is the effect of watching angels and demons twice...!! Both the novels are one of the best i have read so far, but i am sort of more inclined to angels and demons for quite a few reasons! When i was watching the movie the second time, i was just trying to recollect and relate both the books!

1) The protagonist is the same Robert Langdon! A symbologist from Harvard!{ i had actually not realized this until a friend of mine told!}

2) Both books have the leading ladies as really talented and smart women, one being Sophie and the other being Vetra. I personally like the latter more, she seemed more confidant, sensible, spontaneous woman, especially after escaping with that piece of sheet from the archive!

3) There's a threat to the Roman Catholic church. That's the basic plot of both the books - Save Christianity!

4) The plots are such that there's a threat to "Religion" from "Science".

5) Both the books talk about a group of people believing in Science, and how responsible science is for the creation of Universe. One being Priory of Sion and the other being Illuminati!

6) In A&D though Camerlango is responsible for everything, but the role of the assasin is similar to the role of Silas in Da Vinci.

7) Both the novels begin with murders.

8) In a time span of 24 hrs the entire mystery is solved.

9) Sculptures and sculptures and sculptures is what both the books have! It was a pretty tough task to imagine while reading, but after watching the movie you will definitely feel like touring the Vatican City once in your lifetime!

This is all i know!! Its been ages since i have read the books. You are free to comment and express your views on this!
