Still I don't undersatnd!

You call your friends every week, you send them text messages, emails, greeting cards etc. but you don't get back anything in return! Even they don't remember your birthday! Why is that? Why I have to put so much effort (don't mention my bills) to call someone who doesn't appreciate it. Then when you give up and stop calling them; they complain that I don't pay attention to them, I have forgotten them. Am I doing something wrong? Am I expecting too much? I really don't understand these type of people and this kind of friendship. This is a very old story and I have asked many people if they have been in the same position. Most of the people I talked to, have had the same experience. So if the most of us had it before, why don't we learn from it? Why don't you move your lazy big ass and spend two minutes of your time to tell your friend "I care about you". Unless you don't care really, so don't complain next time if we met!

PS: Suddenly I remember all those efforts and please excuse my language.

Aqua Regia Digestion


Did you know that the aqua regia was first discovered by an Iranian chemist about 800 years ago which we are using it every day for digesting most of the chemicals to determine chemical composition.
Today, I was working in the lab trying to find out the best method to digest CRT glass with aqua regia! You won't believe it, no HF at all. Although some silicon remained at the end of the digestion process but the rest was digested. The success was in preparing the solution right before adding the fine powder of CRT glass. In this case, HNO3 and HCl recats and produce NOCl which is very strong and can attack the component and dissolve it.
Thanks to Jaber for his discovery!

If God could talk!

If God could talk
Would He tell you to come back to me?
If God could talk
Would He tell you it's alright, just leave
And don't look back at all the memories
The best of times, the mess you made of me
Walk on, if you think it's gonna make you strong
Why don't you run away
And find yourself alive
Go on and turn the page
Before your lonely world collides
What's it gonna take to break the silence
That's been tearin' you apart?
If God could talk
Would He part the oceans straight to you
Make mountains move, crumble at your feet to get you through
Another day, another night alone
Step right out into the great unknown tonight
Even God knows, baby, that ain't right
Why don't you run away
And find yourself alive
Go on and turn the page
Before your lonely world collides
What's it gonna take to break the silence
That's been tearin' you apart?
If only God could talk
Did you swear to yourself
On the day it was over
That you'd never turn around
And get locked up in another cage?
Did you tear all the pictures
Of us living life together
Did you burn all the mem'ries
That have been made in a fit of rage?
Why don't you run away
And find yourself alive
Go on and turn the page
Before your lonely world collides
What's it gonna take to break the silence
That's been tearin you apart?
If only God could talk
If only God could talk
If only God could talk
If only God could talk
Oooh, would you listen now if God could talk?
