“It’s fun while it lasts
Life is such a race dats fast!
Only your deeds and fame stay
Work a lot, some time do play!”

One of the greatest joys of being a child is that things are always good or bad! There are no grey areas! A person also is either good or bad!

In a twist, if you have a twin; you can have a good twin and an evil twin!

Did you know that even our Earth has an evil twin!

read on!

In the same way even in the movies those days you know there are some who are good while one is bad! Even in comics you have a hero and his or her arch nemesis who is bad!

Which is why when you see movies like the Jewel Thief, the most decent guy turning out to be the chief villain is a shock! It is like Aishwarya in the movie Khakhee!

When you have clear good vs bad, it is a normal thing but unfortunately life is not movies! You may be the hero in your story but you may also be the villain in some other person’s story!

In all these stories perspective is the key! For every winner there has to be a loser! That is the way it has always been! Like how the history always is with the victor! There will be so many ‘true’ stories which would have been buried with the truth! Here also ‘true’ is in parenthesis since even truth is actually many times a point of view!

What he or she said and what you interpreted and what she or he actually meant are complex things! It is a wonder how we have so much peace when actually there is a literal volcano ready to burst ever instant!

In the movies or novels about twin, it is always shown that one of them is the timid and meek twin while the other has a dark side! This is a common theme! The dark side twin usually does not take any nonsense and sometimes is true evil! The ‘evil’ twin is completely opposite of the ‘good’ twin though in most novels and movies they all become good or get defeated in the end!

The evil twin phenomenon reminds me of the The Third Twin by Ken Follett!
Now that is a novel with so many twins of the same person and all except one turn out to be as evil as possible in different grades! A typical Ken follet thriller which was entertaining as always!

In the novel Man is not from Earth and many other ‘alien’ movies it is often shown and referred that the ‘alien’ is ‘Martian’ or from the planet MARS! There have been missions to even send probes there to find out more! But if you see the dimensions, there is another planet which is like earth but like its ‘evil’ twin!

Yes! VENUS!

Venus and Earth are sometimes called twins because they’re pretty much about the same size. Venus is almost as big as Earth. They also formed in the same inner part of the solar system. Venus is in fact our closest neighbor to Earth. So they were formed in the same part of the solar system, made out of the same materials. They’re about the same size!
Till now all good and syrupy! Then somewhere along the way the evil crept in!


Some people like to say Venus went bad or something went wrong!
On Venus, what happened is its large, thick carbon dioxide atmosphere is driving a greenhouse effect! In fact, it’s so hot on Venus that you can melt lead! The temperatures on the surface of Venus are over 900 degrees Fahrenheit, and then Venus is covered in a 15-mile-thick layer of clouds! The toxic clouds of sulfuric acid start at an altitude of 45 to 70 kilometers! The clouds smell like rotten eggs! And those clouds are made of sulfuric acid! So you think acid rain is an issue! This is pure acid out there!

Venus rotates very slowly on its axis – one day on Venus lasts 243 Earth days. The planet orbits the Sun faster than Earth, however, so one year on Venus takes only about 225 Earth days, making a Venusian day longer than its year! This year on Earth though is close to its end! That is good news! Bad news though is that we lost a great actor and a great comedian Delhi Ganesh today. I still remember his effortless dialogue delivery and down to Earth manner. You will be missed sir

Heartfelt condolences

Om Shanthi…
