Mirages

Mirages are one of the puzzling mysteries on Earth.Have you ever seen one?They're not common in Gurgaon,but you'll be unable to count them in Dubai.Traveling normally,and suddenly you can see water in front of you.By the time you reach it,it vanishes.Sometimes it makes me thirsty,when there's no water in the car.But it's all the sun's fault.To be more specific,the reflection of the sun.Your reflection in the mirror when you're wearing the latest clothes might seem good,but not when there's not a bottle in the car,it makes my kinda thirsty.In hot places,you'll find about ten of them in two minutes.And it's not only water,other objects too.Seems like the Bermuda Triangle's younger brothers are Mirages.In a way,they might be related.I had forgotten about them until I went to UAE this summer.If ther were so many on the roads there,imagine how mamy would you find in a minute in the scorching Sahara Desert.Mirages do not help us in conserving energy.Think you haven't drunk water for ages,and you're tired of finding an oasis in the desert.Then suddenly you light up like a Christmas tree,and start running at your fastest pace.You reach close,and then there's only some sand and a cactus.It may get on your nerves,but you gotta get used to it in sweltering places.Mirages do sometimes make me look up to the sky,in which I check for a UFO which is controlling the mirages and playing a little game with us,but most of the time I fail to succeed in finding the source of these strange appearances.Well,I'm gonna investigate further and deeper into this interesting subject!
