importance of serendipity

the markets are heading south but not southward enough to engage my complete attention. so, my tryst with home building continues. building materials is a facinating subject with plently of listed companies. it is difficult to appreciate pidilites product range or snowcem's brand equity without speaking to those involved in the industry.

and there are so many differnt materials available - from pvc windows to cpvc prices that can carry hot water. to latest clamps that can easily hold a ton of weight.

there is ablsolutely no requirement for metal anywhere in the plumbing process - quite revolutionary if u can see old GI pipes running all over your old bathroom.

anyways, was reading about vinyl flooring can came across this interesting webpage. it highlights how much we owe to serendipitous discoveries. more than we can ever imagine. perhaps, we are all just errors in a DNA duplication process!
