Deepest River in The World


After watching a documentary by national geographic, I learned that the deepest river is the Congo river found in the southwestern part of africa. It's deepest part reached 755ft(230m) and as deep as the trenches found in the oceans. This is remarkbly deep for a river, there were new species discovered here. Because of strong currents dividing some parts of it, some species are genetically distinct from other fish on the other side. There are over 300 species living in the congo river. One of the new species discovered here is the perciform fish(lamprologus lethops). see national geographic

Piano improves reading skills



ScienceDaily (Mar. 16, 2009) — Children exposed to a multi-year programme of music tuition involving training in increasingly complex rhythmic, tonal, and practical skills display superior cognitive performance in reading skills compared with their non-musically trained peers, according to a study published in the journal Psychology of Music. In my own experience since I started studying it at the age of 7, playing the piano helped me a lot especially in my reading skills. I'm not easily confused when I'm reading books with tons of words. It  helped  me learn to love reading books not only music books. It also improved  my non-musical abilities(eg, linguistic, mathematical, and spatial).

The Scene of This World is Changing

What does it feel to live in this world? Sometime's you feel happy and sometime's you don't. Some people are rich and some are not. But there is one thing that doesn't separate both, we all expect that sometime or someday we are going to die. The scene of this world is changing rapidly. Every year the global temperature is rising, our climate is changing. Some plants and animals are now extinct like the tasmanian tiger, and others are still fighting for their survival. We can observe these even in our own backyards. In my place, a few years ago I can still see plenty of migratory birds flying, but now I can only see few of them. It's quite sad to see things changing rapidly but that's the way it is.

Do you love reading books and other literature?


Nowadays, computers, cellphones, mp3's, and other devices have become widely popular. Many people have become addicted on using these devices. Yes, there's no harm in using these devices but there should be limitations on how long you should use these. I observed that most people prefer doing other things rather than reading books and doing much important things. The reason they say is that " reading is not fun". Is that how you also view it? Do you know that reading helps reduce stress levels. Also try not to think that reading is boring, reading helps a person develop his skills and learn different things. Reading daily refreshes our mind.
