You would not believe it but it is true. I saw a 3-D movie for the first time yesterday. It so happened that with my wife away with my elder daughter to Bangalore, I was charged with taking care of the younger one, Anoushka.
Anoushka had been asking me to take her to the Regional Science Centre since a long time. And by yesterday I had run out of excuses. So off we went and what a great time I had.
We whispered into pipes, demonstrating that sound travels in a tube, rolled heavy iron balls up incline planes and lifted weights with great ease.
The high point was our going for the 3-D movie show. I must confess that it was the first time that I saw one. It was pretty engrossing considering that I nearly took a swipe with my hand at the snake which came hissing at me. Gave an embarrassed look to my kid sitting on my right, but she understood and acted as if she had not seen me hitting out.
We had a wonderful time. the RSC has been conceptualised very well. The displays left us wanting for more. Science is an art. Notice the iron filings arranging and rearranging themselves in beautiful patterns when subjected to the fields of different types of magnets. The sheer joy of watching different patterns being formed by liquids of varying densities and colours.
The enormous data that is depicted about our planet is mind-boggling and interesting.
We came back all charged up and smiling at this wonderful outing.
Anoushka has motivated me to go for the 4-D show next time we are in Mumbai. She went to one this summer
