Water - What we should know about the clear liquid?
" The fall of dropping water wears away the stone. -Lucretius the author of On the nature of things
An illustration of the history of origins of water in our solar system. A new study finds it started in the molecular cloud (prior to the Sun’s formation), traveled through the stages of star formation, until it wound up in the solar system.(Bill Saxton, NSF/AUI/NRAO)

As a student of science I can say water is the liquid state of H2O at strandard conditions of temperature and pressure. I simply don't want to dull everyone. We know that we can't live without water even for a day, but we simply don't understand its importance.
Consider a situation where you are meeting an important person in your life, say your life partner, will you just see the person and live for your whole life. You can't, even I can't. So we want to know them personally or simply we want to know about their family, what they do... and so on. So, as a small start let us know about some things which exist in every day life.
This will not be a very complex article to read, rather it will be a prologue to a series of articles about different aspects of water that follows in the coming days.Starting with the origin of water. It is a question of centuries to be answered, but i will give the best of it.Then we will cover up the areas of mythology, philosophy, tales, science and the very need of it in the future.
Water seems ordinary; it pours from our taps and falls from the sky. But you would be surprise that how it came and from where it came. It defies the normal rules of world, it has shaped the Earth, its life and our civilization. Without it we would not exist. The water in our rivers, lakes and oceans all came from outer space. How it arrived here and how those molecules of water were formed is a story scientists have only learned in recent years and which takes us back to the beginning of the universe.
My writings will be based on the articles in web resources, books and my own thoughts.
I assure that it would be a fun thing to explore water in a new different way.
