Landscape of memory – Vintage pictures of Kathmandu
We all know how Kathmandu looks these days. Its over crowded, polluted and stinks with sewage. But lets travel into time for a moment and go back around hundred years. Lets see how Kathmandu looked then.
Looking at following pictures, one can imagine how beautiful and quiet Kathmandu was then. There was no sound pollution and no air pollution and population was definitely limited. I found these pictures in the kathmanduspeaks.blogspot.com. The links are as below.

Also, in nepalitimes.com. The link is http://www.nepalitimes.com.np/issue/362/Review/13875.
I liked these pictures so much, that I could not stop myself from downloading them and decorating my blog with them.

The Flash Mind Reader
The “Flash Mind Reader” game below is a mystery — it seems to work magically, unless you think about it mathematically.
I have put a screenshot. To play the game, just click on it and you will get a swf (Flash) file. Unfortunately, WordPress does not allow to embed flash files, so I had to put it this way (i.e. as a link).
The Flash Mind Reader
How to play ?
1) Choose any two digit number (i.e., any 2 digit number greater than 9)
2) Add the two digits together
3) Then subtract the total in 2) above from your original number in 1) above
For example if you choose 59: 5+9 = 14.
59 minus 14 will give you your answer (45).
4) Now find your answer on the chart.
5) Concentrate on the symbol beside it.
6) Then click on the crystal ball.
7) It will show you the symbol you are thinking of!
It is guaranteed that to work, until you play it properly i.e. as specified above in steps.
So now what are you thinking ?
I know, what you are thinking. How in the hell is this possible? Well its nothing more than a very very very simple mathematics.
I also have solution for this. But please try it first yourself. Because, once you have looked at the solution, all the fun will vanish. Click here to get the solution.
