How ancient timekeeping mechanism looks in modern times

I have always been fascinated with ancient timekeeping mechanism and how it looks in current times e.g. in Hours, minutes and seconds.

We calculate 1 day = 24 hours. Here's how ancient people break 24 hours into sub units:

1 Day = 8 Pehars. 1 Pehar = 3 hours.
1 Pehar = 64 (some says 60) gharis. 1 Ghari = 22.5 mins or 24 mins
1 Ghari = 60 Pal. 1 Pal = 22.5 seconds
1 Pal = 3 chasaas. 1 Chasaa = 7.5 seconds
1 Chasaa = 15 visaas. 1 Visaa = 0.5 seconds
1 Visaa = 15 Nimakh.
1 Nimakh = 0.033 seconds

Hindus and Sikhs by convention take a day to begin at sunrise to sunrise. Muslims on the other hand consider period on a day to begin at sunset (after the magrib prayer) and end at next sunset. Christian day begins at midnight and end at the following midnight.

Let me know your thoughts.

What if Ravan had won the war with Ram?

I think it would have been altogether a different story.... Once upon a time,long long ago..in the treta yuga lived the noble,just and benevolent king Ravana of Lanka. A devout follower of Lord Shiva,he possessed immense knowledge of vedas and upanishads and was the author of Ravana Samhita - an astrological scripture narrated by lord shiva. Ravanayan is the story about his war with bad people and his ultimate victory. Ram and Lakshman, the princes of Ayodhya were admonished and sent to exile in forest for their misdeeds by their father King Dasaratha.Ram's wife Sita,a pretty,coy lady feared the repercurssions of living alone in Ayodhya and decided to be with her husband during the exile, she believed the wild forest to be safer than living as a single woman in a repressive society with three royal mother-in-laws. One day during their exile in forest, Minakshi,the beautiful and much adored sister of King Ravana saw Ram. She was bewitched by his handsome looks and fell for him. Min

Is there a true love?

Last night a friend called up saying she want to discuss something. I went to her place and she was crying. After sometime, i asked her what happened? She said - her love story is now ended completely. I asked her, to tell me the complete thing to which she said, they had a bad fight and now its all over . I feel very happy that finally its over but still to make sure, i asked her - Is this story finally over or is it that after some days you will start cribbing again about this guy? To this she said, No No, this time it's completely over. Somehow i still dont believe her, as this is almost 100 time in the last few months that she said that her love story is over. This guy treats her very bad, even say bad words which otherwise you dont say it. Still this girl does not listen or want to move on but want to stick with the same guy. Strange thing is - many girls fall in love with those people who are either already engaged/married or who dont treat them nicely. I happen to ask

Other Aspect

I always wonder how people create perception by looking at only one side. How our society impose things upon us, even when they themselves do not know the other side of the story, or perhaps they dont want to know. We often say, every coin has 2 sides then how come all these things/stories have only 1 end, which have been shown to us. Is it that the other end is more painful? Or is it that it will reveal the true color of their " Heroes "? I would like to give few examples: 1) Every Year, we burn the effigies of Ravan, Meghnath & Kumbkaran. Reason is, coz Ravan kidnap Sita, wife of Ram. But we often forget that it was Ram & his Brother who first humiliated Ravan's sister. All she had asked Ram was to marry her. Well, I dont see any wrong in that, not sure how many of you will see this as a wrong thing. I mean she had just " Asked " him to marry her. According to one south indian scripture Sita was ugly and was not beautiful, whereas Ravan's
