Extra terrestrial life

Is there life other than on Earth? Nobody directly put me that question till now, but I asked myself and came up with a response. I think there is extra terrestrial life. My reasoning is this, on this planet, life needs oxygen or carbon-di-oxide, water, light. Similarly on another planet or some other satellite life may need nitrogen, hydrogen or a different element altogether. Our scope of knowledge is limited to the elements that we have discovered till now. But there may be many unknown elements in this universe and some of them may support life.

clouds

Of all the things I like, Clouds are given a special place in the list. Not the top, but somewhere among the first few. I very much love watching the clouds admiring the genius of the God who could make such wonderful creation. But unfortunately, I couldn't watch the clouds for long time...because clouds are drifting always and my thoughts also drift away while I am watching them. I couldn't concentrate though I enjoy those few moments.

get away....

Sometimes I feel like I want to go away. Go away from all these things around me, computers, buildings, vehicles.. all of them. Its not renunciation nor its a holiday, its just that I want to feel how it will be like being in Nature. I want to go away to someplace where I can see nothing but God made things. I would like to go deep into some rain forest where there is nothing but greenery. Sit there on the grass near a stream bed and watch the water flow over the stones... that would be great. Ain't it?
