There are lots of things that we use every day and without these we might find it hard to live. Almost everything that we use is a gift of science. The greatest discovery man has ever made are in the field of science and technology. The world that we live in today would not have been so good without all those inventions and advancements. There are lots of other things that we are aware of only due to the developments in this field. Life as a whole is clinging on only to this field.

Food
There are different types of substances that we eat and drink to keep ourselves alive. Some of these are good for health while othersnot. We started classifying food substances now. It is said that our ancestors used to feed every kind of food. That is something hard to even think of. It is possible to check in detail the ingredients of each and everything that we see today. There are labs to test the details. Looking at the reports we can decide whether a substance is edible or not. If something is edible, we can take a look at the fat content, protein content and other details too and decide if it is good for a particular person or not. Such is the advancements we have attained from the times of caveman to the world of computers. All this is because of science!

Travel
Can you walk every day from your home to your work place? You will not be ready to do that for sure if the distance between the two places is not short. There was a time before the automobiles, jet planes and ships. People had to walk day and night to reach a destination. We cannot even call it a destination because those were the days when name boards and GPS were not even a dream. Today, we can travel around the world without even asking for directions. All we need is a mobile gadget that supports GPS. If you type in the destination, directions will be shown to you instantly. Science is the only reason behind this advancement.

Living
We are now capable of choosing what is good for us. We are also good enough to keep away from anything that causes a threat to life. When you are ill, you go to a doctor who treats you and suggests medicines to cure the disease. Different tests are conducted if necessary to identify the ailment. All this is due to the advancements in the field of medical sciences.

In short, everything modern is only because of science.

I have never thought of a road trip without my colleagues. But one fine day like any guy I don’t know what accelerated my thoughts to drive thousands of kilometres alone without any company and go for a California road trip. Well, that was hilarious but very adventurous too. I just went to the store near to my apartment and stuffed all essentials that were required for my journey.

I started off from Boston where I had my lunch from a street restaurant. The journey through Angeles Crest highway was of real fun. Popped with music the day just went smooth. I have never got a chance to enjoy the essence and beauty of life to the core.  May be this was for the first time I started viewing life in a different perspective apart from my daily busy scheduled life. It was really interesting to watch an old man still at that age energetic to open his pizza store at mid night. The way he adds flavour to the street was truly a delightful sight. The way he knead the dough and sprinkled the chopped colourful vegetables on the base with chicken crumbs and cheese topping really tempted to buy one and buy parcel for my upcoming days. It was getting dark, so thought to park my car and settle for the day. I still had a long way to drive.

The next day, I woke up early and started off after getting fresh. I headed toward Calabasas and from there towards Tuna Canyon. From there stretched to Santa Monica Mountains and then ride to Santa Clara. The view from the top was really breathtaking. The glorious California looked amazing. I felt like I was on top of the world.   After reaching Malibu, I thought of taking the rugged roads that gave a mixed experience while on tire. The curious entry way welcomed me to the Pacific Ocean. The stretched Pacific Ocean looked simply amazing.

The various lined beach restaurants and colourful shops gave a blissful experience while I passed by. The vibrant shades of decor hangings and chains were waving to the tunes of wind that looked awesome. I just couldn’t stop myself from clicking a shot in my camera to capture the pinks and blues. The northern half was successfully covered.

Finally after reaching, I badly needed a break. There were blankets on my back seat and just spread it over the lush green ground and placed my luggage as my pillow. I just laid there and watched the blue sky. It was again for the first time I am watching the sky so close, the scoops of white clouds and the shades of blue aroused my imagination beyond limits. Every minute thing of nature seemed amazing in my eyes.

After long drive, I finally reached back to my apartment. It was really a wonderful experience for me. Today when I flip through the snaps, I just feel like going all again.
