The great epic Ramayana is now available in Indonesian language. Yes its true! And this has been made possible by Google's new Chrome web browser. Its Chrome Experiment has given a new twist to this age old epic. It allows you to explore the story in an interactive way. It has opened new doors of storytelling breaking away from the rituals of reading and puppet shows.

It has used HTML5, Javascript and WebGL to bring the story and its characters to life. Along with the wonderful visual effects we also have some amazing gamelan music playing in the background. I would say it's a little more than just animation because the interaction of the characters is not in the regular style. You will see them interacting through Google+, Gtalk, product search Google Maps.

What's more interesting is that it doesn’t just narrate the story but allows you to explore it yourself by clicking and scrolling. So now you can strike at the golden deer and also kill Ravana. If your right you move ahead or you keep trying until you get it right! It is being guessed that this is an experiment from the new office at Jakarta. Whatever it is, it seems very exiting to me. Cant wait to visit www.ramaya.na I'm going to take a look at this amazing thing. What about you?

Ella Zomer said “Our findings indicate dark chocolate therapy could provide an alternative to or be used to complement drug therapeutics in people at high risk of cardiovascular disease.” His partner Chris Reid also held a similar opinion. He said “One of the appeals of this study is here is a dietary alternative which may be quite appealing to a lot of people. In fact, chocolate studies have shown really good compliance rates.”

This is definitely a very tempting study that has been conducted on Australian population. What is it that makes dark chocolate beneficial? Lets find out! It is said that dark chocolate contains antioxidant chemicals in the form of polyphenoles that help in dilating blood vessels ultimately keeping your heart safer. There are other things too that contain this magical substance. These include green tea, blueberries and red apples. After reading this articles please don't come to false conclusions. Excess of anything can be dangerous and dark chocolate is no exception! Large amount of dark chocolate can lead to obesity which again places you on the high risk side.

Therefore Chris Reid says “We’re not suggesting that the high-risk group use dark chocolate as their only preventative measure, but in combination with sensible choices, such as exercise.” Let us all follow his advice and live happily ever after. So here's wishing you all a happy and a healthy life ahead!
