Foldable scooter!

Ah! It is here at last! Some genius thought along with me. Several years before, when my two wheeler was too broad to cross a narrow passage that allowed people like me with a slender frame, I wished I could fold my scooter and carry it on my shoulder.

Antro is an Hungarian. He thought better than me. He visualized a concept of folding a scooter and pull it on like a suitcase (pull on).

He implemented his visualization and created Moveo, an electric scooter that is lightweight and also can be collapsed and carried like a rolling suitcase.

It is an eco-friendly scooter.  It runs on a battery.
** A battery charge would take you up to 35 KMs
** It can attain a maximum of 45 KMs per hour.
** Above all, its weight. It is only 25 Kgs.

Hey, did another thought occur to you? You don't have to search for a parking space for this scooter!

The most beautiful wooden sculptures.

A picture is worth 100 words they say. Whoever authored it must be very poor. I would say a picture is worth 1000 words.

The picture above is made of wood by a Russian sculptor called, "Sergey Bobkov".
All his wooden creations are realistic looking. He makes stunning rodents, animals and birds.
Sergey at work.
Such creative geniuses are born and not made at universities and schools. There are may be hundred more geniuses as of now. They would get their time to be discovered.

Sergey Bobkov must be above 50.
He has developed a unique technique that prevents the wood chips to fall down over the years.
He uses Cedar wood.

I read that he is not selling his wooded sculptures. Wood artists are a rare breed-eh?

Sadly, Wikipedia says it cannot find anythong on Sergey Bobkov.

Staircase lighting in a unique way.


I am giving two images, call the first one 'before' and the second one 'after'. By 'before', I mean the staircase in the daylight and the other one is lit in the night.
 Now, do you wish you had thought of this shiny idea before tripping often? Lighting your staircase is as essential as providing security to your valuable home.

We only provide a switch on the top of the landing to enter into another room on the first floor. As we grow older, our aging vision may not be sufficient to climb the stairs in dark.
