3 hour trip to Wonder Funkey, Near Chandni Chowk, Pune

This Saturday, 27th October, we went to Wonder Funkey (www.wonderfunkey.com) by car.
I am just writing about the various options available there.

Location : The wonder funkey is located at around 2-3 kms from Chandni Chowk, as we move towards Satara on the right side. So in case you want to avoid turn and are from/around Kothrud, you can go to Warje flyover first and then move towards Chandni Chowk, you would find it on the left side.

Parking : The parking is free for all. Thank God !!

Entry Charges : The entry charges are 100/- per head.. Oh God too costly.. One of the better option is Membership.. With Membership of Rs. 750/-, you can have 3 other guests (free of cost) for an year + T Shirt + Cap (of funkey) and Rs. 750/- worth games.

Free Items : The free items (for which you pay 100/- per head) are
(a) Puppet Show - Really a good one.. It starts whenever, there are few people around the show.
(b) Disco - Really good disco, you would enjoy if you go with GF.

Rest all items are chargeable :(

Paid Items : There are lot of playing games, especially for age group 10 - 30 years.. Car racing (in many varieties) are a good option, if you like gaming. There are some games for kids too like boxing and getting a duck down, horse, elephant etc. These cost around 10,20 and increasing. and Yes, there is Bowling too..

Being Sunday (I suppose) there was a guy who wore the dress of monkey and was trying to allure the small children. It was good, considering that monkey is one of the animal which children learn at a very early age.

How they work ??
On the basis of the number of people entering, they give a ICard (similar to what if somebody is in Software office), In the starting itself, you can "recharge" your voucher to some amount, say Rs. 100 and then you can proceed on playing games/eating/astrology/portrait. which are "debited" from your I Card. You can refill it again. Inside there are many outlets to do so :)

Eating : For eating too, there were good options. Yes, it was bit costly, but still we enjoyed it. Lots of varieties are there for the food.

I think it is ideal for going for guys to spend around 2-3 hours at the wonder funkey.. Enjoy !!

Do Husband and Wife (if happily married) tend to commanality / convergence ?

A question came to my mind, that do the husband (H) and wife (W) converge to common physical/emotional features of their life ??

Normally a wife comes from different physical background. Her nose/eyes could be very similar to her parents e.g. they could be pointed and black where as a husband comes from different background with not so pointed nose and black-blue eyes. So do after a period of time, these features come together to form a new blend (genes within themselves) even without offspring (children).


Some people say that it could be because of their same habits, like eating, sleeping at one time and doing all things in common.
But there are lots of people in the world who wake up at one particular time and sleep at the other time (say 10 pm) but are they similar.. NO ..

There are papers (I got an abstract only ) "Convergence in the physical appearance of spouses" which indicates the truth in my saying. http://www.springerlink.com/content/u59r1291345u048p/
http://www.springerlink.com/content/74l268g8g317456r/
http://www.springerlink.com/content/q2u612426625w110/
http://www.possibility.com/epowiki/Wiki.jsp?page=EmotionalConvergence

Here is the truth that yes, they converge to common features, this in Artificial Intelligence is called as Mutation, where one of the chromosomes get automatically changes randomly. But there is something extra also. It could be termed as "diffusion" or "osmosis", where because of different availability outside the skin environment and being in touch, there occurs some changes (metamorphis), which tends to change the behavior of the person in touch. In my case both husband and wife are in touch with different bodies, so they are going to have some change in their own bodies which is

• Customized to live in the environment.
• Get the features of the other person.
  

So, it is touch of somebody, which matters here.

Again, I researched myself and looked upon various ancient Hindu fundas, which make my theory of diffusion/osmosis stronger.

1. Maharaja Agrasen -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exogamy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotra

It was maintained by Maharaj Agrasen that a nupital alliance could not take place in the same Gotra. That is a girl of "Goel" Gotra could not marry a "Goel boy"', but could be married in any of the other 17 Gotra. This rule enunciated by Maharaj Agrasen promoted harmony and brotherhood among all the 18 Gotra represented by state units. This facilitated promotion of unity and nationalism among the state units. http://www.bikanerguide.com/agrasen/history.html

Probably, Maharaja Agrasen (by his experience or knowledge) was knowing that there should be changes that should be in the body/behavior, so he promoted harmony by marriages between different "gotra" and moreover, the advantages of both gotra can be used to generate a better offspring.

2. Aura -- If you are not aware that what aura is, I have a link for you and the meaning of it. http://www.ladybridget.com/w/waura.html

" The aura is the electromagnetic field that surrounds the human body (Human Energy Field-HEF) and every organism and object in the Universe.
The Human Energy Field as a collection of electro - magnetic energies of varying densities that permeate through and emit or exit from the physical body of a living person. These particles of energy are suspended around the healthy human body in an oval shaped field. This "auric egg" emits out from the body approximately 2-3 feet (1 metre on average) on all sides. It extends above the head and below the feet into the ground. "







Now let's see how the aura concept comes here..




In South, the concept of touch is very big. Here the pandit ji does not touch the devotee. Is it possibly because by this the aura of the priest might change.


Probably because of mixing of partners (as shown in picture), the aura gets mixed and the common aura is shared by both, due to which more of the characteristic of the couple gets converged.






So it seems that there are old scriptures which do say the same thing that there is convergence of the features of the couple, when they are together.

Some other day, I would write more..

till then bye bye

What does Google Want To Do ??

I was browsing internet and I thought what google wants to do in future.

Seeing a "sketchup" google was letting everybody know that google has entered the business of creating and viewing 3D models too.

In the viewing section of 3D models, lots of software had entered the scene that include

1. eDrawings - created by Geoemetric Software Solutions Ltd.
2. Arbortext - owned by PTC Software, Needham
3. Acrobat (I really worry what Acrobat might do to all existing viewing softwares). Their Version 8 is wonderful. Do have a look at it

But having a look at google sketch up, it was quite convincing that google is expanding not only in vertically and horizontal direction, but in each and every direction. That's great..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google_products

Yahoo is going down. because it is not researching for new products.
Microsoft has no such MAJOR development after Windows, though MS surface is a good one. they have to do something major after Operating System, because I am hopeful that Google won't be left behind in OS too.

Few months ago, I got a picture of the Microsoft with all other rivals, depicting that MS is fighting in every domain with its competitors. If it was Lotus Notes (IBM), then OutLook. If it was StarOffice, then MS Office. But let's see what happens in future.. Is Google Doc/SpreadSheet going to takeover MS Word ??

The way google has expanded itself is awesome. Great Google !!

Enjoy !!
