Mysteries of the Universe

I am a nature lover. And I especially love to watch the documentaries on National Geographic that take us into the depths of the Amazon and the wilderness of the African Safari, or even the cold freezing Arctics and the rain forests of Asia. 

With a wide screen LED TV and a hi fi home theatre system, you can get ALMOST close and personal, as if you were there for real. 

Is there a place in this universe where you can't go? Even the birth and death of stars, millions of lightyears away can be captured on tape and shown on TV.

Humans have conquered the distances and spaces between the continents, planets and even galaxies. So much so, that they have become powerful enough to create and destroy. I once read somewhere that humans are the main reason why so many species of plants and animals are becoming extinct, but at the same time, humans are also the only hope for the survival of the remaining species. Remarkable, isn't it?

And maybe, just maybe, that's why it doesn't come as a surprise that humans are also discovering many new species of plants and animals everyday. They are uncovering the Earth's wonders bit by tiny bit every day, and we have been blessed with channels like NatGeo and Discovery to bring us where they go. 

The latest in the list of documentaries that I've surrendered my heart to, is one that's called the Untamed Americas, showing in National Geographic. Beautifully narrated, and clearly video-graphed, it's guaranteed to make anyone addicted to it. 

So imagine my excitement, when I just discovered that I can get the whole series, albeit in short sections, in the NatGeo channel in YouTube. As such, I will be writing about them very soon, and will embed the videos in my blog as well, for all my readers to read, watch and be mesmerized, just like I was.
