The Backster Effect (How conscious are plants?)


The Backster Effect
(How conscious are plants?)

Late one night in 1966 Cleve Backster, a well-known American lie-detector examiner, was at his school for polygraph examiners. On impulse he decided to attach his Galvanometer to the leaf of a plant he had in his lab. He thought of burning a leaf on the plant but before he could do anything the tracing pattern on the graph changed dramatically. He hadn’t done anything yet. Had the plant sensed what he intended to do to it? When he didn’t intend to burn the plant but had a match in his hand and went through the actions as if he was going to the needle on the graph didn’t move. After many experiments Backster concluded that plants could actually discern real intent from pretend. He recorded the behavior of other plant species of plants and their reactions in many experiments. One of his experiments led him to discover plants have a memory. Not just a simple memory that allows them to remember the direction of their light sources. He also discovered sometimes plants go unconscious when threatened. This is only a small summary of his work. To read more about Backster and his experiments read the book “The Secret Life of Plants” which also has many other scientists accounts of the physical, emotional, and spiritual connections between plants and man.

Small Business owner


I used to be proud of being a small business owner in this country and always had a vision that one day I would be the best in what I do.

I run a small business which is active and produces enough income to support but for the past couple of year things have changed for me- Discouraged, confused and I move away from new ventures or no more interested in new ventures.

Our country needs small businesses to be active for different reasons.I have few questions running in my head.

  1. How did I get this feel in my head? is it Aging or Fear of loss?
  2. I see a pattern of lot of small business owners slowly giving up and looking for job.
  3. Once creator of job as a small business owner now looking for job. Is it good for the economy?
  4. Is there anything positive happening to keep small business owners be active in what they do and not get discouraged?

If I am right that small business owners are no more encouraged to do business then there is something wrong which government has to take it serious and not just focus on how to bail out big guys or go behind big companies and waste time.

Horizontal Drilling


Came to know about Horizontal drilling for natural gas which sounded very interesting as US holds the technology for it. Watched Movie 2012 coincidentally the same night. Hope this drilling doesn’t sink Houses & roads like in the movie.

My experience in buying a Dodge Durango


Few months back I wanted to change my SUV so I decided to buy a Durango. I went to a dealer next to 59South. I picked a car and also applied for credit. They took 2 weeks to put me in a vehicle and in the mean time I ended up choosing 3 different cars as the one which i picked usually got sold to someone else.

Twice they lost my application- First time the sales guy who took my application missplaced it somewhere after checking the credit, he lost the job and in the second time they literally lost it. For some reason my credit was put in hold by them so I wasn’t able to buy through some other dealer.

They made a fool of me that much when I was about to buy a car they raised the price saying it was not in sale anymore.

Is this something wrong with the sales person who was helping me to buy the car (or) the people who hired this people who where involved in this sale (or) the manufacturer who has approved this dealer to deal their car sale? As of today no one called me from Dodge manufacturer to see how my experience was in buying their car.

Two years back I bought a BMW where they handed the car to me as soon as I selected to use and send me home during the process of credit approval and had almost 3 followup calls to check how my experience was in buying their vehicle.

Price matters to provide this kind of service but price alone doesn’t decide how a customer need to be treated.

Found it very interesting. Only thing which would be challenging for this technology to come out would be how they will be able to reduce the wires running around his neck and the back pack i see him carrying the laptop i guess. He is a smart guy, so will surely find a way to fix this issues.

Wireless solar charged Camera in one of the shirt button or a pen could be one idea i guess.

Static IP Address


We use this for connectivity to work in a client office computer. It works same as gotomypc.com but this is much faster as static IP address is provided to a person by the internet service provider as a dedicated IP address which is like a finger print allotted to one computer.
