Soil

Soil, well most of the people, i mean whoever may ever read this, may ever wonder why a person may ever write a blog on soil, but for me soil speaks out a lot. I like to tell something about the different ways the soil is looked upon.For a small kid, a lump of soil in its hand is a world of creativity. For a farmer its a matter of survival of his own and his crops.For a civil engineer its a the only medium on the earth where all the wonders of the world stand. As for as every living being is concerned its the end place for them to rest in peace. (Practically, the body i mean).

As a budding geotechincal engineer, soil is such a medium on this planet which can bear all the structures which are made by human being or by an ant. For all the wonders of the earth which stand on the earth is only possible if the soil can bear it. It works on such a wonderful phenomenmon, bigger particles like sand and silt which are binded by smaller particles of clay to act as a bigger system.This system of soil with variety of soil particles bear all the burden which is laid on them from structures created by the mankind.While, most men dont realise how soil works, its great that i have some light to this esoteric knowledge. It is also shows that some change in the soil by adding some water to it,it can just yield a greater strength while too much isnt good for anything naah? so too much water can also make the soil weaker and lead to disasters.While as a geotechincal engineer soil plays a very vital role for any structure to stand.

Soil, to me as person is also very much a inspiration. When i compare it to a life, we can also see how small things in our life bind the larger things of it, so that we can bear all the burden which is put on our shoulders. And too much of anything in our life can lead to disasters.At the end of it, i can say, the true value for a soil can only be given by a small kid who plays with it, while the soil bears it all!
