Science and scientific research or discoveries and inventions stem from keen observation

Science and scientific research or discoveries and inventions stem from keen observation or scrupulously trying to solve a problem and end up, perhaps finding the remote connectivity.


Strength ( physical besides the olfactory sense of smell) of nose.


Afterall, these 


1.Elephants Trunk , 


2. Rhinoceros Horn ( actually it is not a horn but a bunch of hardened fibers of  keratin) and of course, 


3. The beaks of Turkey Vultures and


4. Snouts of many animals. 


5. The glue of a barnacle cannot be dissolved with strong acids or temperatures set as high as 440 degrees Fahrenheit.



In fact, a few things puzzled me not with their mystery but the unbelievable functionality.


It was with this curiosity one day I sat down and started reading animal and plant trivia and decided to start a blog which I did but have up soon due to many other priorities.


In particular, I remembered the stories that Kripananda Warriar used to say ' that wealth comes unnoticed like how sweet coconut water is found inside hard coconut, covered by hard shell which again is covered by multiple layers of hard fiber - irony is only coconut tree sapling is planted with loads of salt in the ground'. 


Similarly, wealth disappears , unnoticed like the seeds of vilammphazham ( wood apple) eaten by elephants.
