Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948) has become the strongest symbol of non-violence in the 20th century. It is widely held – in retrospect – that the Indian national leader should have been the very man to be selected for the Nobel Peace Prize. He was nominated several times, but was never awarded the prize. Why?
These questions have been asked frequently: Was the horizon of the Norwegian Nobel Committee too narrow? Were the committee members unable to appreciate the struggle for freedom in the southern hemisphere? Or were the Norwegian committee members perhaps afraid to make a prize award which might be detrimental to the relationship between their own country and Great Britain?
Gandhi was nominated in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947 and, finally, a few days before he was murdered in January 1948. The omission has been publicly regretted by latter members of the Nobel Committee; when the Dalai Lama was awarded the Peace Prize in 1989, the chairman of the committee said that this was "in part a tribute to the memory of Mahatma...

सृष्टि के आरंभ से मनुष्य की जिज्ञासा प्रकृति की तमाम चीजों से जुड़ी रही है और इसी से जुड़ा हुआ यह प्रश्न वैज्ञानिकों को शुरू से परेशान करता रहा है कि आखिर इस ब्रrांड की उत्पत्ति कैसे हुई? बिग बैंग यानी महाविस्फोट के बाद क्या हुआ?
अब तक इसके लिए जिस बिग बैंग थ्योरी के बारे में बताया जाता है, उसको संपूर्णता में समझने के लिए यूरोपीय परमाणु अनुसंधान संगठन के वैज्ञानिकों ने फ्रांस और स्विट्जरलैंड की सीमा पर विश्व के सबसे बड़े प्रयोग को शुरू किया है। 27 किलोमीटर लंबी सुरंग में पहली बार अणुओं को छोड़ा गया है और वे विपरीत दिशा में बहुत तेजी से एक-दूसरे से टकराएंगे, उसके बाद जो जानकारी मिलेगी वह पृथ्वी की उत्पत्ति की बिग बैंग थ्योरी को समझने में सहायक होगी।
हालांकि वैज्ञानिकों ने इस प्रयोग से पृथ्वी के विनाश की तमाम अटकलों को सिरे से ही खारिज कर दिया है, लेकिन इन अटकलबाजियों पर विराम नहीं लगाया जा सका कि इस प्रयोग से पृथ्वी ब्लैक होल में समा सकती है। सर्न के वैज्ञानिक प्रोफेसर ब्रायन क्रॉक्स ने इस आशंका के बारे में साफ स्पष्ट किया है कि पूरी पृथ्वी तो छोड़िए इस प्रक्रिया में प्रोटॉन केअलावा

10 Things, which no prime-ministerial candidate in India will ever talk/tell (Till me or my kid becomes one)1. Talk about men peeing on the roadside.2. Talk about rise in circulation of porn in country.3. Talk about, why the hell Big Boss talks in such a pathetic baritone.4. She/he will never speak that she/he is the sexiest woman/man in the world.5. None of them will agree that; yes there are extraterrestrial aliens among us and will neither question that why all of these aliens pay visit to US and not India(probably due to lack of proper tourism infrastructure).6. None will talk about their first crush. (They pretend as if they are demigods unaffected by MAYA.)7. None will tell that they hate most of their colleagues(those paan chewing morons).8. None will accept that they want to have healthy relationship with Russia so that they can send bhayans to work over there.9. None will accept that in reality they wanted to become PM of some Scandinavian nation where population is very less and none to bother the head...

After my morning chore and before leaving for college I like everyday checked news updates in my mail, and found a wonderful article from Boston Globe. Though article is about US and their economy but like always there can always be few parallels drawn out between India and US. Present problem of global downturn is more serious for Indian than US, reason being that India is still in developing stage and the amount of infrastructure in India is far less that what US has got and adding to that we have larger number of lives to support.
General perception among public and few economists in US (for US economy) to tackle current down turn is to minimize government and lower the tax. But the situation in India is slightly opposite, government is inflating in size and hunger and taxes are also increasing with new forms or other. Burden is as usual falling more so on middle income group [poor chaps- papa lets be rich ;) ] as income tax never reaches mega heights for those with mega bank balance. India in case of its economy is still some 20-25 years behind US, I am talking in terms of net worth, and we should thus keep an eye on history of developed nations to avoid mistakes, which they committed, or those, which they didn’t. In 1980 presidential elections of US, Ronal Regan put it in a nice way, "We don't have inflation because the people are living too well. We have inflation because the government is living too well." So is it time for us to look retrospectively in spending of our governments?...

Songs, she sung in dim light, With tears and no delight. There laid few bodies in calm, By which she sat beside.
Where can she find her mother? She has also lost father from sight. People are running here and there, She is waiting for a flash in night.
There is some pain, in thighs, She can not touch it, Does not know where to find. And blood is going bit by bit.
Some people looked in her eyes. There is fear, everywhere, Where can she find peace, In her songs or in arms of her mother.
There is vengeance, the never ending one, There is anger, hungry as ever, There is you, there is me, But where is she, the ever happy singing girl.

सभी को हिन्दी-दिवस की शुभकामनाएँ। खूब प्रयोग करें अपनी-अपनी मातृभाषा का, न प्रयोग होने वाली भाषाएँ मर जाती हैं। संकल्प लें की अपनी भाषा को जीवित रखेंगे।

With Lok Sabha elections stated to fall next year, government and other parties are already in poll mood. This fact is only strengthened by the announcement of a sop a day. Though state elections (MP) may also fall next year but polices at the national level hold much more importance than those at state level. Every party will be having agendas; few very close to their heart and few will be those garnered during the course of past five years. But the important fact that remains to be seen which party is going to take risk to go green. With going green I meant to say, which party is going to raise voice against global warming, increasing pollution, depleting forest cover, extinction of animals as a part of their national level manifesto.
At present I see no party with green in their cards, and none who will rise above their colours be it blue, red or saffron. Indian flag though have green in 1/3 of its area which shows our love for green but it somehow does not translates to love for ecosystem. What can we hope...

The $4.4 billion Large Hadron Collider was developed to reveal how the universe was created after the Big Bang. It is meant to show how life appeared, but according to some scientists it might lead to the end of the world.According to critics, the machine, if activated, could create a shower of small black holes, which could swallow planet Earth. Large Hadron Collider will smash sub-atomic particles together at a speed close to the speed of light. In such a way researchers hope to see what happed at a fraction of a second after the Big Bang, sneaking into the secrets of how life was born in the universe.It is worth mentioning that the machine has been built 300ft beneath the territories of France and Switzerland. The project was founded by 20 countries.Otto Rossler, a representative of a group of scientists raising a last-minute court dispute over the project, believes that one of the LHC-generated black holes within 4 years could swallow our planet inside-out. According to a group of scientists, the experiment...
