ONE WILD NIGHT



Chapter 1
I had thought I had seen almost all there is to life until I had a recent encounter
My job as a journalist is such that nothing shocks me; I had thought I could watch everything including the very bizarre, but I was proved wrong. I went to a strip club, for the first time in my life. Hey, before you crucify me, my cousin came back from Europe with his friends and you know how all these returnees behave. They are always crazy for adventure and want to experience as much as they can about Africa and Nigeria in particular.
    We had gone to a number of places that Saturday and towards evening; his friend, emeka, suggested that we go to a strip club that night. I didn’t buy the idea immediately because I was already very tired and just wanted to sleep. But there was no way I could refuse to take them there, since they didn’t know most places in Lagos. So, I agreed to go with them. At the appointed time they pick me up from my house fortunately, for me they came with some of their friends, both male and female friends. We made up a large group of ten people as we drove into a strip club in lekk.

ISRO ready for a critical crew rescuing test

The Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment which was test-flown by the ISRO two years ago.—PHOTO: THULASI KAKKAT It will test how fast and effectively the crew module of an intended space mission could punch out from a spacecraft The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up to conduct a critical ‘crew bailout test’ to see how fast and effectively the crew module of an intended space mission could punch out from the spacecraft safely in the event of an emergency. The test, known as Pad Abort, will be held at the launch pad of Sriharikota High Altitude Range (SHAR) in a month or two, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) Director K. Sivan told The Hindu in an interaction on the sidelines of the ongoing expo in connection with the World Space Week celebrations at Ernakulathappan ground here. The test forms part of a gamut of critical technologies being developed by the space agency as it awaits the nod from the government for the ambitious ‘human in sp...

MIT scientists makes use of terahertz waves to read closed books

 some Scientists, have invented a new technology that can read the pages of a closed book, an advance that may help archaeologists look into antique books without touching them. Researchers, including Ramesh Raskar from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S, tested a prototype of the system on a stack of papers, each with one letter printed on it. The system was able to correctly identify the letters on the top nine sheets. “The Metropolitan Museum in New York showed a lot of interest in this, because they want to, for example, look into some antique books that they don’t even want to touch,” said Barmak Heshmat, a research scientist at MIT. He said that the system could be used to analyse any materials organised in thin layers, such as coatings on machine parts or pharmaceuticals. Researchers from MIT and Georgia Institute of Technology developed the algorithms that acquire images from individual sheets in stacks of paper, and interprets the o...
