The Learning Escapades:

The quest to answer life's random questions

What is a Learning Escapade?

Answer: a record of interesting facts, stories and "wow! I never knew that!" moments all wrapped up in one blog. As random questions pop up in life, I do my best to find answers and record them here.

Gandhi once said, "Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

This quote examplifies this learning blog. Rather than learn little facts and then promptly forget them, this blog attempts to capture those answers and explanations and store them for all to see.

Have you ever wondered how an airplane flies? Why Indian woman have dots on their foreheads or who the richest people in the world are? Questions like these have always interested me. Now with the help of wikipedia and other web resources, it is as easy as ever to find answers to those questions.

Each entry on this blog is a mini-escapade--an adventure that makes the world more fascinating and better understood at the same time.

If you have a question that needs answering or have an extrodinariy explination please let me know.
