Procrastination is Goood!

Who says things need to happen at the right time ? Sometimes procrastination works! e.g I was kicking myself for not booking in advance for the annular solar eclipse of 2010 to be seen from Kanyakumari. It turns out that I got a better deal in terms of the timing of the flight at barely a few hundred rupees more that the fare I had seen months ago. This came as a pleasant surprise because I was contemplating buying a hop flight via bangalore which would have been quite stressful, not to mention costly too.

More about the ASE 2010.
On Friday, 2010 January 15, an annular eclipse of the Sun is visible from
within a 300-km-wide track that traverses half of Earth. The path of the
Moon's antumbral shadow begins in Africa and passes through Central
African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, and
Somalia. After leaving Africa, the path crosses the Indian Ocean where the
maximum duration of annularity reaches 11 min 08 s. The central path then
continues into Asia through Bangladesh, India, Burma (Myanmar), and China.
A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon's
penumbral shadow, which includes Eastern Europe, most of Africa, Asia, and
Indonesia.

Needless to say, I am very excited about this event. The plain recollection of august's total solar eclipse gets me all worked up...that too when we could 'see' the eclipse, only experience the onset of the shadow. God only knows what would have happened to me if I had seen the eclipse clearly!!
