A short story at Prospect by Vasily Grossman (Yikes! Just noticed that it needs Subscription to view in full.)
He would look into the dog's eyes. These kind eyes, not the eyes of Niels Bohr, would be the first to look into the cosmos, to see cosmic space that was not limited by the earth's horizon. A space with no wind and only weak gravitational forces, a space where there was no rain, no clouds, no butterflies, a space of photons and electromagnetic waves.
And it seemed to Aleksey Georgievich that Pestrushka's eyes would be able to tell him what they had seen. And he would read and understand that most arcane of cardiograms, the secret cardiogram of the universe.

Yikes! I just realized, either bloglines isn't working properly, or your feeds aren't being generated right - I haven't got the feeds for quite a few of your posts - and most puzzling, I have seen the feeds of some of them, in betweeen. So it's not as though it's a problem that started at some particular point of time - I think.
Bloglines and feedburner have conspired to confuse each other and everyone. I resubscribed to the feedburner URL (http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheScientificIndian) within bloglines. That seems to have worked.
