Sometimes, when I am sitting alone in my room, lost in emptiness, I wonder &#8211; &#8220;who&#8221; am I? Do I really have any identity? My scientific bent of mind reminds me of the so called &#8220;probiotic soup&#8221; &#38; the evolutionary theories that have been scribbled through ages in dust laden books stacked in the library [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hotbacteria.wordpress.com&blog=1285854&post=17&subd=hotbacteria&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bhagvad Gita is a story of a warfield where the Lord Krishna gives Sermon to Arjuna.  Responding to Arjuna's confusion and moral dilemma, Krishna explains to Arjuna his duties as a warrior and a prince and elaborates on different Yogic and Vedantic philosophies, with examples and analogies. This has led to the Gita often being described as a concise guide to Hindu philosophy and also as a practical, self-contained guide to life.

Two years back, I made an interesting yet strange observation about the movement of a housefly. I have documented its movements in detail (Housefly Movements). That time I tried to ask many people about such strange pattern of movement but I didn&#8217;t get any answers. 
Has any one observed that particular behavior before?

I was skiming through the Encylopedia of Human Body to know how information is exchanged by various polarization/depolarization events, how various neuronal synapses or connections help in memory storage etc .
