We started our day by visiting the tribal people - Karens. These are those famous long-necked women that depress their collar bones for beauty. The thing that interested me more during our visit was their use of local engineering and technology. I observed that their roofs were made with regular dried leaves and they used water power for their machines. Such things interest me because I'm a hardcore ...

Okay, I thought that I should get this all written down while the memories are still fresh in my head. So, here goes. We left for the LCCT at the wee hours of the morning and drove two cars there. Since this was my first experience with AirAsia at the LCCT, I would like to put on record that it is nothing like my experience with Stansted and Ryanair. ...

The cinema was packed full and we were lucky to get the seats that we managed to get. Right after they had finished showing the trailers and we were eager to get going with ...

If I am to drive a car, I should drive a fuel efficient and low maintenance car. Therefore, I should learn from the examples of some of our state executive members who ended up trading in their Protons for Mercedes E200. According to this article, there are many advantages of the Mercedes: In the long run, Mercedes cars are cheaper to maintain and could also save us fuel costs. The ...

Alternative energy, especially renewable power, is an exciting area of work in engineering today. Everyone in the world seems to be interested in it. The trouble in the past, was that oil was extremely cheap. So, there was no impetus to push for alternative sources of energy. But the rising oil prices is changing all this and if it ever hits $200 a barrel, alternative energy technologies will ...
