6. Quasar
Shining so brightly that they eclipse the ancient galaxies that contain them, quasars are distant
objects powered by black holes a billion times as massive as our sun. These powerful dynamos
have fascinated astronomers since their discovery half a century ago.
In the 1930s, Karl Jansky, a physicist with Bell Telphone Laboratories, discovered that the
static interference on transatlantic phone lines was coming from the Milky Way. By the 1950s,
astronomers were using radio telescopes to probe the heavens, and pairing their signal with
visible examinations of the heavens. However, some of the smallest point source objects didn’t
match. Astronomers called them “quasi-stellar radio sources,” or “quasars,” because the signals
came from one place, like a star. Naming them didn’t help determine what these objects were.
It took years of study to realize that these distant speaks, which seemed to indicate stars, are
created by particles accelerated at velocities approaching the speed of light.
Quasars or quasi-stellar radio sources are the most energetic and distant members of a class of
objects called active galactic nuclei (AGN). Quasars are extremely luminous and were first
identified as being high redshift sources of electromagnetic energy, including radio
waves and visible light that appeared to be similar to stars, rather than extended sources
similar to galaxies. Their spectra contain very broad emission lines, unlike any known from stars,
hence the name "quasi-stellar." Their luminosity can be 100 times greater than that of the Milky
Way. Most quasars were formed approximately 12 billion years ago, and they are normally
caused by collisions of galaxies, with the galaxies' central black holes merging to form either a
super massive black holeor a binary black hole system.
Quasars show a very high redshift, which is an effect of the metric expansion of space between
the quasar and the Earth. When the observed redshift of quasars is interpreted in terms
of Hubble's law, it is inferred that quasars are very distant objects. Quasars inhabit the very
center of active, young galaxies, and are among the most luminous, powerful, and energetic
objects known in the universe, emitting up to a thousand times the energy output of the Milky
Way, which contains 200–400 billion stars. This radiation is emitted across the electromagnetic
spectrum, almost uniformly, from X-rays to the far-infrared with a peak in the ultraviolet-
optical bands, with some quasars also being strong sources of radio emission and of gamma-rays.

10. STRETCHING HUMAN LIMITATIONS
Human body is the most complex machinery on
earth. From the very beginning of Homo sapiens,
they have undergone continuous process of
evolution not only physically but also mentally and
psychologically. Human intelligence has been
involving day by day, but still we don’t know which
was/is the peak time of human intelligence, whether
it was in ancient time or present day or is still to
come. In stories you may have of heard of people in
ancient time visualizing things hundreds of
kilometers away from them, without going there
physically. Also in stories many times we have
heard of ancient musicians changing weather by
their songs and also people used different
enchantments and mantras for curing them. There
are many stories about a person controlling another
by his mental power. Are these stories really true or
they are only fiction? Did such people really exist in
past? If yes, do such people still exist in this modern
world? Let’s look at some incidents of recent times
which give evidences that such things may be
reality.
Some of you may have heard of “Remote Viewing”
in which an individual visualizes things hundreds of
kilometer away without going their physically. Ingo
Douglas Swann of Telluride, Colorado is one such
person who has done remote viewing. Swann was a
claimed psychic who called himself a
"consciousness researcher" who had sometimes
experienced "altered states of consciousness".
Swann helped develop the process of remote
viewing at the Stanford Research Institute in
experiments that caught the attention of the Central
Intelligence Agency. He is commonly credited with
proposing the idea of controlled remote viewing, a
process in which viewers would view a location
given nothing but its geographical coordinates,
which was developed and tested by Puthoff and
Targ with CIA funding. Ingo Swann was able to
successfully view a ring around Jupiter. According
to Swann, his ability to see Jupiter took about three
and a half minutes. In the session he made several
reports on the physical features of Jupiter, such as
its surface, atmosphere and weather. Swann's
statement that Jupiter had planetary rings,
like Saturn, was controversial at the time. In 1972
NASA launched its spacecraft “Pioneer 10”. It was
first of its kind to fly directly through asteroid belt
and make observation of biggest planet of solar
planet, i.e., The Jupiter and confirmed the
observations of Swann that Jupiter had planetary
rings. Before identifying the ring, scientists along
with CIA and NSA observed Ingo identify physical
objects in hidden envelopes placed a few hundred
kilometers away. In his book “Penetration”, Ingo
says, “it’s one thing to read about UFOs and stuff in
the papers or in books. It is another to
hear rumors about the military or government
having an interest in such matters, rumors which
say they have captured extra-terrestrials and
downed alien space craft. But it’s quite another
matter to find oneself in a situation which confirms
everything. I found towers, machinery, lights,
buildings, humanoids busy at work on something
I couldn’t figure out (on the back side of the
moon).”
Now let’s see the case of a Japanese author,
research and entrepreneur Masaru Emoto, who
claimed that human consciousness has an effect on
the molecular structure of water. He believed that
water could react to positive thoughts and words,
and that polluted water could be cleaned through
prayer and positive visualisation. According to
above theory water was a “blueprint for our reality”
and that emotional energies and vibrations could
change the physical structure of water. Emoto’s
water crystal experiments consisted of exposing
water in glasses to different words, pictures and
music and then freezing and examining the aesthetic
properties of the resulting crystals with microscopic
photography. Emoto made the claim that water
exposed to positive speech and thoughts would
result in visually pleasing crystals being formed
when that water was frozen, and that negative
intention would yield "ugly" frozen crystal
formations. Emoto claimed that different water
sources would produce different crystalline
structures when frozen. For example, he claimed

11. that a water sample from a mountain stream when
frozen would show structures of beautifully-shaped
geometric design, but those structures would be
distorted and randomly formed if the sample were
taken from a polluted water source. Emoto believed
that these changes could be eliminated by exposing
water to ultraviolet light or certain electromagnetic
waves.
All of us know food and water are among the basic
needs for survival of a normal human being. How
long can you imagine a normal human being can
survive without food and water? We can imagine
someone to survive in such conditions for three
days, four days, or maximum one week. But
Prahalad Jani an Indian sadhu claims to have
survived without water for 75 years, which is
beyond our imagination. He was tested twice by a
group of doctors led by Dr. Sudhir Shah. In the test
he was kept in a room at a medical centre for fifteen
days and was provided nothing to eat or drink. And
the results were surprising as no significant changes
in body metabolism were observed. Doctors say that
he is probably surviving on the nectar produced in
his pallet and he feeds on it. Also an awkward
observation was made on him that at the age of 83
his brain structure was similar to an individual of 25
years of age. But the results of the tests on Jani have
never been published in any scientific journal and
some more tests and observations are going on him.
How do you think these people are able to do such
things? Were they bitten by a bug, exposed to
radiations or were they injected with something
which altered their DNA? From where does the so
called “Supernatural Power” come to these people?
Can a human being possess such abilities and
extend the boundaries of his limitation? The
possible answer to all such questions, according to
ancient theories is supposed to be meditation. What
is meditation? Meditation is a practice where an
individual trains the mind or induces a mode of
consciousness, either to realize some benefit or for
the mind to simply acknowledge its content without
becoming identified with that content,or as an end
in itself. And experimentally also it has been proven
that meditation not only provides physical
relaxation and peacefulness but also provides
cognitive and psychological benefits. In an 8 week
program at Massachusetts General Hospital a
Harvard-affiliated team made observations on a
group of individuals who performed meditation
daily for 8 weeks for an average time of 27 minutes
per day.It was observed that this led to a major
increase in grey matter density in hippocampus, the
part of brain associated with self-awareness,
compassion and introspection. Also, reduction in
stress was correlated with decrease in grey matter
density in amygdale, part of brain known to play
important role in anxiety and stress. We saw that
according to the recent experiments meditation
provides us different physical and mental benefits.
So, can we say that meditation is behind the
supernatural powers possessed by such limited
people? Can someone really gain such supernatural
abilities by just closing his eyes for some
minutes/hours/days or is there something which is
inbuilt in the body metabolism of people who
possess such special abilities? The case of Wim Hof
or “The Iceman” may provide us the direction in
which we should be moving to seek the answers of
our curiosity. Wim Hof, the man who is able to
control his own immune system performing simple
pranayama and meditation and survive in extreme
cold condition.

12. LI-FI – A technology ready to create a revolution.
Introduction and Overview
All of us have increasingly become dependent on the internet some way or the other. It is impossible to think of a day in
our lives, when we are not “connected” to the “net”. We are using the internet for a variety of purposes, chief among them
being sharing of data. In scenarios where we want to transmit data quickly and efficiently, low internet speeds can be quite
annoying.
In 2011, Professor Harold Haas from the University of Edinburgh in the UK,suggested an idea called “Data through
illumination”. He used fiber optics to send data through LED light bulbs. With Li-Fi, we can connect to the internet
simply by being within range of an LED beam, or we could conceivably transmit data using our car headlights. The
ramifications of this are huge, especially with the internet of things in full swing and the much mooted spectrum crunch
expected to bite increasingly hard in the coming years.
LI-FI stands for “Light Fidelity”. The technology uses an LED light bulb that varies in intensity faster than the human eye
can follow to send data through illumination. The light that zips data across the Internet’s backbone used to stop a long
way from the data’s final destination but now it goes all the way to our homes. The LI-FI technology takes the last step
and takes the light all the way to the computer or TV,projecting it through the air over the last few meters and only
converting it to an electronic signal at the end.
LI-FI is a new technology which uses visible light for communication instead of radio waves. It refers to 5G Visible Light
Communication systems using Light Emitting Diodes as a medium to high-speed communication in a similar manner as
WI-FI. It can help to conserve a large amount of electricity by transmitting data through light bulbs and other such
lighting equipment. It can be used in aircrafts without causing any kind of interference. LI-FI uses light as a carrier as
opposed to traditional use of radio waves as in WI-FI and this means that it cannot penetrate walls, which the radio waves
are able to. It is typically implemented using white LED the output at very high speeds. This is the principle of the LI-FI.
The working of the LI-FI is itself very simple—if the LED is ON,the signal transmitted is a digital 1 whereas if it is OFF,
the signal transmitted is a digital 0. By varying the rate at which the LEDs flicker, we can encode various data and
transmit it.
Working principle of Li-Fi
This technology is based on the Visible Light Communication where we use a source of illumination which can not
only produce illumination but also send information using the same light. So we can say that VLC is illumination
along with communication.
Literally, any form of information that can be sent using a light signal that is visible to humans could be considered to be
VLC, but by our definition we should be able to see the light, but cannot “see” the data. So although there seems to be no
universally agreed definition of VLC, we can at least agree what we mean by VLC.
The sending of the data in the above mentioned manner has been made possible by the widespread use of the LED bulbs.
These bulbs can be switched ON and OFF very rapidly thus permitting us to send the required data via light. The rapid
adoption of LED light bulbs has created a massive opportunity for VLC. The problem of congestion of the radio spectrum
utilized by Wi-Fi and cellular radio systems is also helping to create the market for VLC.

13. Advantages ofli-fi over Wi-Fi
• Li- Fi uses light rather than radio frequency signals so are intolerant to disturbances.
• VLC could be used safely in aircraft without affecting airlines signals.
• Integrated into medical devices and in hospitals as this technology doesn’t deal with radio waves, so it can easily
be used in all such places where Bluetooth, infrared, Wi-Fi and internet are broadly in use.
• Under water in sea Wi-Fi does not work at all but light can be used and hence undersea explorations are good to
go now with much ease.
• There are billions of bulbs worldwide which just need to be replaced with LED’s to transmit data.
• Security is a side benefit of using light for data transfer as it does not penetrate through walls.
• On highways for traffic control applications like where Cars can have LED based headlights, LED based
backlights, and they can communicate with each other and prevent accidents.
• Using this Technology worldwide every street lamp would be a free data access point. The issues of the shortage
of radio frequency bandwidth may be sorted out by Li-Fi.
Applications of Li-Fi
The LI-FI system finds a variety of uses in many fields from access to internet by the general public using street lamps to
auto-pilot cars which communicate through their headlights.
Moreover, in areas such as medicine and aircrafts where WI-FI cannot be used, LI-FI is an alternative which can provide
faster data access rates. Some of the applications are discussed below:
(a) Education System: LI-FI can replace WI-FI in educational institutions and provide faster internet speeds. All the
people can make use of the same speed as has been designated.
(b) Medical Applications: WI-FI is not allowed operation theaters because they can interfere with medical
equipment. Moreover, their radiations pose risks for patients. LI-FI uses light and hence can be used in place of
WI-FI.
(c) Internet access in aircrafts: The use of WI-FI is prohibited inside airplanes because they can interfere with the
navigational systems of the plane. The users get access to very low speed internet at high rates. Thus, LI-FI is a
safe alternative to WI-FI in aircrafts since it uses light and can provide faster internet access.
(d) Underwater applications: Underwater ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) operate from large cables that
supply their power and allow them to receive signals from their pilots above. But the tether used in ROVs is not
long enough to allow them to explore larger areas. LI-FI can even work underwater where Wi-Fi fails completely,
thereby throwing open endless opportunities for military operations.
(e) Radio broadcast: A large amount of power is required by radio masts in order to broadcast and this makes them
quite inefficient. LEDs on the other hand require very low power to operate and this means that LI-FI also uses
very little power.

14. WHY SHOULDN'T I?
The crusade of the so-called softer and delicate gender of the society has surpassed all the odds & lacunas of
gender disparity in the present society. The female population has evaded their position better than anyone
else in proving themselves as the same eloquent & efficient as the males in every sector of the society be it
economy, academics, sports, military, aviation, management, or technical aspects. Recently the aviation
sector of India has remarked the recruitment of female pilots to ensure the profusion of the female
population of country to the technical arena.
So has flourished the technical education in case of girls, as which had been a forte of boys during a course
of time has become the paradox of girls these days. Girls have been taking admission in technical courses
such as engineering & diploma since ages and have proved their self-efficacy by graduating from different
streams of engineering n technical courses, bagging technical jobs & attaining par excellence. Alike have I,
been pursuing my technical degree in mechanical engineering branch for graduation & job in the same field,
& am a girl. Yes, I have chosen mechanical branch because of my fascination for the branch subjects of the
stream and core sector jobs and my gender has nothing to do with my choice. I like thermal subjects & love
studying about the machines & processes in the power plants. Even I have always dreamt of working in
power plant sectors & appear for civil services in engineering subjects, but whenever I come across my
peers and relatives asking me, 'why did I choose the mechanical branch despite being a girl’, I get filled with
awe to reply them with answer to let them visualize the enthusiasm & eagerness of mine to study and clinch
a job in core mechanical field with my mechanical degree. I wonder how people could still ask me this
question every time when girls have set benchmarks in mechanical branch tool
how can people still ask this question when girls have stopped being back bencher spectacles to the aspects
of technical subjects! I am always amazed by their amusement of seeing a girl in my branch, when they
have opened the seats of college to both boys and girls equally. I ask, if girls can get admission into the core
branch, study the same subjects as them, learn same techniques & formulas as the boys and work at
workshops equal hours as them then why can't they bag a job in the field sectors and power plants? Boys are
praised on acquiring a seat in mechanical branch, but the same core branch seems unpromising choice of a
girl. Even during placements it’s seen that the authority people ignore the lady candidate’s despite of their
qualifying marks, on the pretext of their gender which makes them unsuitable for technical jobs at power
plants & core sectors. This shouldn't be done, as it’s unfair on dejecting deserving candidates on the
grounds of gender inequality from doing their dream jobs.
Girls have endured havoc and have smelted themselves tough enough to prove their equity in technical jobs
that too with higher tranches, den why the same question repeatedly to us? It would be wrong judging our
choice on the grounds of our gender because our country needs hands to serve it to prosper irrespective of
the gender of the serving hands. Hence, I will like to instigate the girls studying in mechanical branch, to let
the society get aware of our passion and urge to become a mechanical engineer that too being a girl so that
people know the future scope and aspirations of our branch. Let it be our tom-boyish choice by which the
world renounce us but it shouldn't affect our goals, dreams and choices.
So, next time anyone asks me around, "Why did u choose mechanical engineering, being a girl?", I would
reply, "why shouldn't I?" because I have got many reasons for their "why" while I know they won’t be
having a single for my "why not".

15. THE MORAL OF LIFE FOR A PROFESSIONAL
(A SIMPLE INSTANCE)
Every one of us has a role model and a fixed objective. As we are on the pursuit of learning technical education,
it’s very important for us to read about the success as well as failure stories of technical giants. Here, I want to
bring to you a short factual story that happened with the NOKIA Corporation when taken over by
MICROSOFT.
During the press conference to announce NOKIA being acquired by MICROSOFT, NOKIA CEO ended his
speech saying “we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”. After saying that, all his management
team, himself included, broke down sadly.
NOKIA has been a respectable company. They didn’t do anything wrong in their business, however, the world
changed too fast. Their opponents were powerful.
They missed out on learning, they missed out on changing, and thus they lost the opportunity at hand to make it
big. Not only did they miss the opportunity to earn big money, they lost the chance of survival.
The message is that if u don’t change you shall be removed from the competition.
It’s not wrong if you don’t want to learn new things. However, if your thoughts and mindset cannot catch up
with time, you will be eliminated.
The advantages you have yesterday will be replaced by the trends of tomorrow. You don’t have to do anything
wrong, as long as your competitors catch the wave and do it RIGHT, you can lose out and fail.
To change and to improvise gives you a second chance. To be forced by others to change is like being
discarded.
Those who refuse to learn and improve will definitely become redundant and not relevant to the industry one
day. They will learn the lesson in a hard and expensive way.

ANALYTICAL THINKING ON DEPRESSION
A group of researchers studying the roots of depression has developed a test to measure analytical thinking and
rumination that are hallmarks of the condition, leading them closer to the idea that depression may actually be
an adaptation meant to help people cope with complex problems such as chronic illnesses or marriage breakups.

16. The researchers at McMaster University and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health were able to show a
meaningful connection between answers to their 20-question test and analytical rumination -- a type of
distraction-resistant thinking that is characteristic of clinical and sub-clinical depression alike.
"Depression has long been seen as nothing but a problem," says Paul Andrews, an assistant professor of
Psychology, Neuroscience & Behavior at McMaster. "We are asking whether it may actually be a natural
adaptation that the brain uses to tackle certain problems. We are seeing more evidence that depression can be a
necessary and beneficial adaptation to dealing with major, complex issues that defy easy understanding."
The researches emphasize that clinical depression remains a serious mental health concern, and that
understanding the underlying mechanisms at play can lead to more effective treatment. There is currently no
consensus on the underlying pathology of depressive disorders, and the symptoms used for diagnosis occur on a
spectrum that ranges from mild to severe.
The researchers administered their test to nearly 600 subjects. Their paper, "Measuring the bright side of being
blue," appears in the peer-reviewed, open access journal PLOS ONE.
The test revealed which subjects were experiencing analytical rumination at varying levels of intensity, and
found a relationship between those results and subjects who were experiencing depressive symptoms.
The research suggests that depression may be a natural condition in which the mind concentrates involuntarily
on a complex issue to the point where it allocates resources to analyzing the problem at hand, diminishing
concentration on other aspects of living, perhaps giving rise to disrupted eating, sleeping and social interaction
that are associated with depression.
Being able to measure analytical rumination is a step toward developing new and possibly more productive
ways of reducing the harmful effects of depression, the researchers say.
"We have a set of items that clinicians and researchers can use to understand how people with depression are
thinking," says Skye Baric, a post-doctoral research fellow at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.
"Based on how people answer our questions, we can tailor appropriate levels of care and supports. This set of
questions can also inform completely different discussions between the clinician and the patient. Instead of
discussing the disease as a 'bad thing', clinicians may be able to help patients have insight about the potential
adaptive purposes of their thinking and how this may be used as a strength to move forward in their lives."
"When working with many people who experience chronic health conditions, depression is often the limiting
factor to recovery and goal attainment," says Zachary Duisk, also a post-doctoral fellow at CAMH. "The test
can potentially quickly tell us when people are struggling to identify their problems, trying to set goals, or trying
to move forward in their lives. We hypothesize that very different levels of support and care are required
throughout these different stages of thinking."

18. ‘’ILLUMINATI’’
People may have heard of this organization of the Illuminati but they cannot be sure whether or not
+it is the stuff of myth, legend or superstition because it always has been a secret and will always be. So even if
we know about it, we will never be completely sure of its existence in this world.
Illuminati is such an influential secret society which is believed to have been controlling different forms of
other societies which includes the US government, the Vatican City, NATO, the UN, Hollywood and different
global media outlets. It is believed that they control the govt. and all forms of media and that may be the reason
why this secret conspiracy is able to be kept under wraps and people just go about their everyday lives without
realizing the Illuminati is running it.
The original Illuminati was founded in Bavaria in the 18th century by Adam Weishaupt, an anti-clerical
professor who wanted to limit the interference of catholic church in public life because of the constant
frustration and discredit he has been getting being the only non-clerical staff in his institution. He based his
secret society on the Freemasons, with a hierarchy and mysterious rituals and named it the order of Illuminati to
reflect the enlightened ideals of its educated member.
The top goal of this organization has been to achieve “One World Government” and to subjugate all religions
and government in this process. So to achieve this, they attributed all wars since French Revolution as having
been formulated by them in their pursuit of their goals. According to the Illuminati, the Napoleonic wars were a
direct result of Illuminati intervention and were actually intended to weaken the governments of Europe. One of
the results of these wars was the “Congress of Vienna", which was brought about by the Illuminati to form a
“One World Government "in the form of “League of Nations”. However, this plan did not work out because
Russia held out of this league. Moreover, it is said that the Illuminati worked out a blueprint for the world wars
throughout the 20th century that would lead to a one world government by the end of the 20th century. The first
two world wars were quite a success in their motives but the third world war which never took place failed their
plan of doing so when they were at the verge of achieving their goal. Through these wars they wanted to drain
the international community to such an extent that they will have no choice but to form an “One World
Government". Illuminati itself means the enlightened ones-a group who knows the rest of society. Even the
symbol signifies “The All Seeing Eye”.
According to the Illuminati, it was actually set up as a secular, non-religious sect who wanted to dismiss
religious influence over public life and state power. But from all the worldwide activities they have been doing
till now, it is very clear that their way of approaching to achieve their goal was terribly miserable, costing both
life and property. As the consequences of these wars, innocent people after losing faith on themselves kept on
joining this organization to avoid misery. Besides, they did not stop there, to spread their organization they have
been constantly using media power. It is found out that the entire entertainment industry has been infiltrated and
that the Illuminati members are using the media to brain wash the masses. The Illuminati members are believed
to be constantly spreading negative thoughts and doing vulgar activities. You will be surprised to know that,
according to different conspiracy theories most of the popular celebrities of the entertainment world are accused
of being a member of Illuminati like Miley Cyrus, Madonna, Will Smith, Celina Dion, Rihanna, Katy Perry etc.
Miley Cyrus in the beginning made waves with making children shows like “Hannah Montana” but all of a
sudden she started staging controversial nudity acts. Even in India, singers like Yoyo Honey Singh are

19. sometime accused of being a member of it. You may have noticed in most of his songs, he constantly shows a
triangle symbol with both of his hands possibly to show the power of Illuminati.
The famous Tesla Technology was also convicted in one of such conspiracy of Illuminati where scientist Nikola
Tesla was the victim assassinated by the Illuminati. He was the founder of the free energy system technique
which can produce enormous amount of energy. The specialty of this system is that the output energy is
considered much more than the input energy which was much ahead of the inventions and discoveries of those
times.
From the way they have been working for years we can guess that it is not controlled by any one single country,
it is collectively controlled and used. If they still do exist, then it really is an underground movement. One of the
members of it who has left that organization revealed that there are around 439 underground bunkers and bases
which are controlled and manipulated by the Illuminati. He also mentioned the names of a few popular
personalities who have stayed in those bunkers including Leon Trotsky, Saddam Hussein and even Abraham
Lincoln. Even Sir Isaac Newton was also supposed to be a member of Illuminati.
Illuminati is not the only secret society that exists. There are many other such secret societies that exists. Some
of which are officially declared and some only exist in stories. We don’t know their motives and goals. May be
we will never be able to know the answer of the question that “Who really controls the world?”

MEMORY CHIP TO RECORD MEMORIES
Each week a global thinker from the worlds of philosophy, science, psychology or the arts is given a minute to put
forward a radical, inspiring or controversial idea-no matter how improvable- that they believe would change the world.
Memory chip! Commonly called as memory card. This would give everyone the chance to have a complete collection of
all their life’s memories, without any loss of detail or the distortions of time. I use the term chip loosely, as it might be
made of silicon or be living cell based, but when connected to our brain it would provide instant additional memory just
like a computer memory stick. With human memory chip, experiences could be stories and be played back perfectly,
either by the original owner of the memory or cloned and directly shared with others.
For example, a soldier returning from battle could actually share his memories and thus enable the full horror of war to be
experienced first-hand by the people at home. Memories would also be passed on to future generations. Imagine inheriting
the memory of your mother the day you were born – a far better way to understand the past than a box of dusty
photographs. I close on a cautious note.
Whilst human memory chips could have many world changing benefits, there is also the potential for misuse. But I hope
that the option for everyone to have a complete collection of their life memories will one day be the norm, and not just the
wish of a b-tech student.

A CHILD’S ANGEL....
Once upon a time there was a child
ready to be born.
One day the child asked GOD “they say
you are sending me to earth tomorrow,
how am i going to live there being so
small and helpless?”
GOD replied, “Among the many
Angels I choose one for you, she will
be waiting for you and will take care of
you.”
“But tell me here in heaven I don’t do
anything else but sing and smile, that’s
enough for me to be happy”, asked the
child.
“Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day and you will feel your angels love and
happiness”, GOD replied.
“And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don’t know the language that men
talk?” asked the child.
“Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will hear, and with much patience and care,
your angel will teach you how to speak, “replied GOD.
“And what am i going to do when I want to talk to you?” the child asked.
“Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray”, GOD replied.
“I’ve heard that on earth there is evil that will attack me”, said the child.
“Your angel will defend you ever if it means risking its life”, replied ALMIGHTY.
“But I will always be sad because I won’t be able to see you any more”, said the child.
“Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me even
though, I will always be next to you”, GOD replied.
At that moment there was much peace in heaven but voices from earth could already be heard and the child in
hurry asked softly,” Oh GOD, I am about to leave now, please i request you to tell my angels name”.
“Your angels name is of no importance, you will call your angel MOTHER”, helped ALMIGHTY.

LACKING ASPIRATION
At one time, favouritism was the order of the day. But in the present day, competition is said to be the decisive
factor in how life progresses. This shift has been basically due to the advent of democracy because the culture
of democracy is meant to be based on merit rather than on favouritism so that if you prove to be rewarded,
otherwise, not.
The present day culture of competition has given rise to a new social principle with maximum such as compete
or perish 'and 'merit based progress'. In this highly competitive scenario, some people have emphasised the idea
that a competition based system has also produced two different class- a privileged class and a deprived class.
While the privileged class is bound to achieve success, the deprived class will be doomed to lead a life of
penury.
One who is said to have "perished" does not really perish in reality; instead he stands up with new motivation to
establish himself so thoroughly in his closed sphere that no one will have grounds to belittle or dismiss him.
There are many historical examples of how motivational factors account for personal progress. For instance,
Bill Gates said while sharing his experiences, I failed in some subjects in an exam, but my friend passed in all
of them". Now he is an engineer in the organisation and i am the owner of that organisation.
If you have a tree in your garden and you cut off one of its branch you will very soon find that a new branch
grows back at the same spot. This is the law of nature, which is applicable to human life.
One can take your first chance but no one has the power to stop you from taking a second or more chances.
Therefore, the formula of "compete or perish" is not the be-all and end-all of existence. In my opinion
successaspiration is that thing for which you can vie and you can die laughing

22. THE JOURNEY THROUGH GCEK
The abrupt transition from the 14 long years of sheltered and subtle atmosphere of a convent school to hurly-
burly of college campus was not a cake-walk for me, though I was quite enthusiastic to explore a new world.
New place, new surroundings, new subjects and a plethora of new challenges.Yeah, a NEW LIFE in a hostel
with friends. Despite initial hurdles, I soon get accustomed and adhered myself to this new way of life.
The first year of my college were like the 1st DAY, 1st SHOWS, the most enriching, filled with experiences,
because everything in it seemed new. Bhawanipatna had won my heart with its serene and scenic natural beauty
and the people who led a simple life. The hostel apparently turned into a home apart from the one I had left
behind for studies. Here friends make family, they care for you, they love you, they help you in difficult
situations. It was filled with fun, solving fights, games, chit-chats, debates on social and political issues and
mimicry that arouse loads of laughter.
Though we spent only three hours at college, it was where we get to know our subjects and also our fellow
classmates. These three hours were the liveliest and busiest hours of the day. Proudly proclaiming to be an
ENGINERING student, I had set up my heart and mind to muster all the concepts and get my fundamentals
clear. Though I never believed in mugging things and pouring them out in exams to get ranks.
Teachers made the learning process simple. A lot of experiences made during these four long years of
engineering are memories for the rest of the life, advices and scolding preventing me from repeating the same
mistakes again. My special thanks to all those teachers who have made a profound difference in my life.
Being an upcoming college, GCEK gave me many opportunities for learning things, to struggle, to be a face in
the crowds. These 4 YEARS gave me important lessons in life that no book could teach. I can never thank
enough all those who stood by me during my tough times and those who criticized me as well. They made all
the difference- they made me what I am today.
Tears roll into my eyes as I count upon the remaining days of my engineering life. Life is a highway which
stretches out smooth and straight until it’s time to bend and this is the time indeed.

23. E-GOVERNANCE CYBER SECURITY SYSTEM
E-Governance is the outgrowth of efforts made by the government to improve relation with their citizen. There
is a need of security that is the demanding challenge what we did now a day. Cyber security promoting the
governance with information and communication technology. In order to develop an e- government system all
the users can thesaurus the system very well. The interlinked e- governance activities are stepwise from
government to citizen then to employee and then to business. It is the activity of protecting information system
(Network, computer databases, data center& data base management system) with appropriate security measures.
“Public private partnership is a key component of cyber security in E- governance. “
In the e- governance system there is a creation of conductive legal environment in support of safe and secure
cyber space. Placing of 24*7 mechanism for cyber security emergency responses. The government has allocated
$860 million until 2016 to establish a national cyber security program. The workers who involve in this work
from internet service providers and their representative group such as the telecommunication industry security
advisory committees (TISAC), the bank of England, the financial authority of COM, OFGEM, OFWAT and
many more.
In 2015, the German Federal Office for information security revealed in a report that an unnamed German steel
mill had suffered “massive damage” following a cyber-attack. The discussion with panelist in the boardroom
discussion about the threat of cyber-attack hasn’t received the attention which it deserves.
To get cyber security right there are number of resources mentioned at the round table under the guidance of
GCHQ’s. Organization can be improved the security of their networks. The cyber system need a government
which is backed and the industry should support the scheme to help organization and protect themselves against
internet based threats. Therefore, the most viable option for reducing the risk of a cyber-attack relied upon
communication and education. There should be a proper education to the employees by their organizations to
protect their personal data and devices.
To combating the cyber security there are many option like
 Regularly patching firewalls
 Updating firmware
 Setting strong password
 Changing the password our Wi-Fi router came with on firewalls
E-governance has already occupied a significant place in the global economy. Various agencies of United
Nations Organization (UNO) and the World Bank provide huge support in E-government initiatives.
Essentially, actions for securing information and information system are required to be done at different level in
the E-governance. E-governance requires a range of legislative changes including electronic signatures;
electronic archiving; data matching; freedom of information; data protection; computer crimes; and intellectual
property rights legislation. Regulatory changes are required for a host of activities from procurement to service
delivery. It is responsibility of the state to bring in sufficiently strong legislation to discourage and put down the
misuse of the internet and other cyber media for any nefarious activities. Beside the action by government other
stake holders such as network services providers (ISP), large businesses and small user’s/home users are also
required to play their part to enhance the security of cyberspace within the country.

WAS ANCIENT INDIA ADVANCED?
India, as we know today is the world’s second largest population, the largest democracy in world, and has
largest diversity in population all over the world. But most of us are unaware and are very less curious to know
about the history of our own country. Today we discuss that India’s economic conditions are very weak, India is
a backward country and we are not developed. But was the condition of India same from the very beginning or
it has been degraded with time?
Since India got its Independence on 15th August 1947, the economic condition of India has faced
continuous ups and downs and also has been degrading with time. But hundreds of years ago India was known
as the Golden Bird or “Sone ki Chidiya” because of the strong economic condition India had and also because
of the high amount of wealth the citizens of India possessed. At that time families had gold coins like the heap
of wheat. Many foreign researchers like Thomas B. Macaulay, an English researcher, came to India in 19th
century & stayed here for about 17 years. After returning to his country, he told people that he had never seen a
wealthy country like India. But later Bruisers conquered India and looted its wealth after which the identity of
India as Golden Bird disappeared.
Another English researcher named William Dippy wrote in one of his books that before Bruisers came to
India, it was a very rich & productive. The soil of India was so much fertile that no other country has this type
of soil and later it was destroyed by the different advance methods of cultivation, introduced by the Britishers.
At that time the clothes produced by Indian weavers were the best quality clothes in whole world. These clothes
were popularly known as Khari. The weaver sold those cloths in foreign market in exchange of gold. Also a
revolution took place, led by Mahatma Gandhi to promote Khadi when the Britishers tried to remove Khadi by
introducing western dresses.
In 1813, there was an estimation in England's parliament that INDIA produced 43% of the whole
world's production. But today America produces 25% of world production & China produces 23% of the
world’s production. Means both America & China producing that much amount of world production which was
India producing 200 years back. Also another estimation was made in England’s parliament that in business
sector India contribution is 33% of the whole world production at that time means in 1840. Also net export of
India was 27% of the whole worlds export. At that time export of America was less than 1%, export of Great
Britain was less than 0.5% and net export of Europe and America was 3-4% only.
Today we say that America is very advanced in field of science and technology, but about few hundred
years ago India was the leader of the world in field of science and technology. An English researcher Mr.
Campbell Carge who studied about the science & technology of India said that, "The country where there is
huge amount of production, it is possible if there is industry and industry is possible if technology is there and
technology is possible if science is there and if the science is there from the root then their technology forms".
At that time (during 18th century), the steel which was considered of bad quality by Indians was better than the
best quality steel produced in Sweden. Many scientists have done research on India and says that there are near
about 20 branches of science are available in India. We all know that European scientist Copernicus gave the
first idea about relation between sun and earth and also gave the assumed distance between the sun and earth.
But thousand years before that the exact distance between Earth and Sun was already given by the great Indian
mathematician Arya Bhatt. Also the idea of the change in climatic conditions due to rotation of earth around the
sun was given by some Indian scientists. In medical sciences also, India was highly advanced and also taught
other countries about Ayurveda. Plastic surgery which is a complicated topic in medical science was invented
and used for the first time by Indian scientists.

25. Today a large number of Indian youngsters are moving abroad for the purpose of education. But hundreds of
years ago, people from all over the world came to India to gain knowledge. Takshashila and Nalanda were
considered the best place to study in whole world. These universities were based on Vedic education. Before
Britishers introduced the school system in India, children used to gurukuls for the purpose of education. In
every village there were Gurukul, and for every 200-400 student there was a gurukul in 1822. Illiteracy and lack
of education was very low in India. But in 1868 Britishers started schools for general student before that there
were school for king family child only. At that time literacy rate of India at that time was 97% but now it is just
50% only.
India has always been known for its culture and traditions and Britishers targeted these two things before
invading India. They tried to destroy Indian culture by attracting Indian people towards western culture and they
succeeded in doing so because of the unawareness of the Indian people about their own country. From the field
of economics to science and technology ancient India was always in top all over the world. India has taught
counting to the world by introducing zero. If India would not have given decimal to the world, it was impossible
to go to the moon. India was the first to teach the language of stars, i.e. astrology to the world. Where
civilization came first, where art was born. India has been a global leader since ancient times and the world has
followed it. Feel proud to be an Indian.

CHECKING TRIBAL MIGRATION-A TOUGH CHALLENGE
Migration of tribes from Odisha is a complex and dynamic process, which has been taking place over the last
centuries. Between 1950 and 1980 tribal peoples migrated to the rural areas to work as agricultural labor. But
now they have started migrating to bigger cities in search of employment. The big cities in India work as
immigrating places for the tribal migrants moving from their hinter land.
The recent shift in migration trends have revealed in increasing movement of single revealed the increasing
movement of single young women towards urban centers in search of livelihood.
Migration among tribal family is not a matter of choice; but often a compulsion to avoid starvation. Tribal
migration is somewhat different from migration among non-tribal; but at national and international levels most
of tribal women and girls are illiterate and they work in inhuman condition in cities. The migrated tribal women
and girls faces a number of problems immediately after migration to cities, which include difficulty of
communication in local language, accommodation, employment, education of children, local contacts,
adjustments with city life and environment.
A great number of these migrants exploited by middle man, contractors, construction companies and other
employers because they are new to the city life style and environment. So it is difficult to make adjustment with
the changed situation and environment.
Moreover, they are exploited financially and mentally by the non-tribal in cities.

26. So whatever it may be the “Push Factor” is responsible for such migration. The bulk of migration is push
driven. The push factors are debt at higher rate of interest, inability to pay, money lender- dadan agent nexus,
low rates of wages, employment and land alienation along with poverty and in debt condition. Middle man are
operating in the labor market for recruitment of cheap labor to work outside the state. Work is not available
after harvest of paddy from highland which forces them to migrate.
So the government and NGO's must try their level best to prevent exploitation of tribal and maintain their
welfare as is the need of the hour.

WE SHOULD NEVER QUIT
Sometimes we feel that we have nothing left to give and no matter how hard we try. We keep hitting road
blocks that seem to hold us back. The matter of fact is, if we can overcome the obstacles presented to us and
keep pushing through the bad times, we will find success.
Difficult does not mean impossible. It simply means that we have to work hard. Most of the important things in
the world have been achieved by people who kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. It’s
impossible to achieve success without first facing failure, so we should not let anything to stop us. Failure is the
normal process in life. It’s not the end but a stream changing direction before it finally reaches the ocean. True
failure is not when we miss the mark but when we 'QUIT'.
There are lots of people out there eager to tell us that the goals we put on map the map are impossible to achieve
due to their own limiting beliefs. But who are they to decide and set our limits? Often when we feel that we are
about to give up, at that auspicious moment we are the closest to making a huge breakthrough! At any point of
time, we are just on the verge of success.
The road to success is full of challenges, always. You have to be daring. No time to play it shy and invisible.
Come out of the shadow and show yourself to the world. You can and will all you want because you decided to
do so.

27. WE ARE THE MECHANICAL ENGINEERS
"Welding the rest of all branches, Crank up the lives, Shift up the gears because WE are the MEN, WE are
the machine, and WE are the MECHANICAL ENGINEERS."
Mechanical engineering is the back bone of engineering study. It is one of the major divisions within the
profession and its principles are involved in the design ,development and construction of nearly all of the
physical devices and systems which technology has produced .Mechanical engineers are considered with the
operation of all kinds of machinery and the production of energy resources .They must conceive, research,
design, develop, test, manufacture and sell equipment for these purpose .It is a complex discipline and requires
a great deal of specialized knowledge. The engineers are required by all kinds of companies which manufacture
a great variety of machines, robotics and other equipment. The engineers may be responsible for the design,
selection materials, specifications and the improvement of production process and equipment.
Mechanical engineering is the oldest branch among all the branches .It finds its application in the archives of
various ancient and medieval societies throughout mankind .In ancient Greece the works of Archimedes (287-
212BC) deeply influenced mechanics in the western tradition and Heron of Alexandria created the first steam
engine called as Aeolipile in china .Zhang Heng (78-139 AD) improved a water clock and invented a
seismometer and Majun (200-265 AD) invented a chariot with different gears. During the years from 7th to
15th century, the era called the Islamic Golden because of their remarkable contributions from Muslims
inventors in the field of mechanical engineering. Al-Jazeri who was one of them, wrote the famous book of
knowledge of "Ingenious Mechanical Devices" in 1206 presented many mechanical designs. He is also
considered to be the inventor of such mechanical devices which now from the very basic of mechanics such as
the crank shaft. Important breakthrough in the foundation of mechanical engineering occurred in England
during the 17th century when Sir Isaac Newton both formulated the three Newton's law of motion and
developed calculus the mathematical basis of physics
During the early 19th century in England, Germany and Scotland, the development of machine tools led
mechanical engineering to develop as a separate field within engineering providing manufacturing machines
and the engines to power them and many more things was invented at that time.
Today views show that the young minds of mechanical engineers have come up with some brilliant ideas that
will convince you that our country is one of the power house of talent. In recent time, many inventions such as
from a scooter that charges faster than your mobile phone and the scooter can easily go on for 50,000 km with
its battery pack by the IIT-Madras students. We wonder to see the drone that helps the Indian army with rescue
operations during natural calamities made by IIT Bombay, how can someone walk on water? It's impossible,
well Mirik Gogri and Ayush Jain two IIT-Bombay alumni have made the impossible as a possible and IIT BHU
students also made an innovative alcohol sensing helmet that won't let the person to start a bike if you are
drunk. Hemometer which was made by IIT-Delhi boy Ambar Shrivastava. He developed a mobile phone sized
meter; a device that helps in accurate hemoglobin estimate. Many researches in this branch make it a core
branch which inculcates minds the concepts for an advanced future. That's why it is called as an evergreen
branch.

29. SOUND VIBRATION
“Sound vibration-pressure waves in air that creates melody in our life”. Initial discoveries regarding sound
waves were made in the sixth century B.C by the Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras. He noted
the relationship between the length of the vibrating string and the tone its produces –what is now known as the
first law of string. Even in ancient times people knew the power that vibration holds. Modern research claims
that ancient pyramids were made using the method of levitation using sound vibration.
Recently modern physics has stretched the application of sound vibrations to an extent to which no one had
thought of. Electrical and computer science engineering students Viat Tran and Seth Robertson were looking for
an interesting idea for their senior research project. That’s when they stumbled upon an experiment conducted
by the Defence Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) and discovered fire extinguisher which vibrates
the oxygen away from the flames by maintaining a frequency of 30-60 Hz with no fuel, to keep them going due
to which the fire suffocates and dies. One more astounding effect of sound vibration is the moving of objects
called levitation. Typically, levitation techniques make use of the electromagnetism. To move and levitating
objects, Dimous Poulikakos, a mechanical engineer built sound-making platforms using piezoelectric crystals.
the platform emit sound waves which move upward until they reach surface laying above, where they bounce
back when the downward moving reflected waves overlap with the upward moving source waves, the two
cancel out in the middle, at so-called node points. By adjusting the position of the nodes, one can tow the
objects between platforms.
In modern science it has been found that vibration and sound can affect matter, interact with our molecules and
stimulate healing. It has long been noted that particular sounds and their frequencies have a direct effect on the
body’s ability to heal from various disharmonious states or disease, i.e. from imbalance associated with anxiety
to nerve disorders and cancer. There is no doubt that human beings are part of a vibratory experience, and it
plays a vital role in our emotional, physical, mental and spiritual existence and well-being. Dr. Mitchell L.
Gaynor discusses his discovery of Tibetan singing bowls in helping cancer patients. As a scientist, he
communicates the importance of vibrational healing through sound and how “we can order our molecular
structure through sound and heal physical and emotional imbalances”. He gives one example of a woman with a
tumor in her thymus gland and how singing bowls helped her to relax and reflect upon internal stresses that
were the cause of the blockages in her body. By listening to the vibration of the crystal bowl and visualizing the
shape of her fears “she was able to see where the fear was stuck in her physical body.
Besides these there is a great impact of sound and music on the human brain waves and the production of
hormones. The sound of single musical instrument affects a certain organ of the body. E.g. stringed instruments
(violin, guitar, harp and cello)-have a salutary effect on cardiovascular system. “Every melody synchronizes the
operation of the internal organs. This happens because any of our bodies-a source of energy and
electromagnetic waves given frequency, as well as the sounds of music are also waves, they come into
resonance with them and the settings of our body change. When the melody sounds, its acoustic field is imposed
on the acoustic field, and it turns out that we experience a certain kind of cell massage.

30. THE UNKNOWNS
Today we read about various scientists and great personalities and about their work in various magazines and
journals. But still there are some suppressed and less known personalities around the world about whom very
few of us know. They had done some great work and made some mind boggling discoveries and inventions. But
as the information given by some them was very much useful for the public and would have changed the
economic and social condition of the globe, their work and their identities were suppressed by the politicians
and other people who control the world. Let’s take a look on some of such personalities and their work, some of
which are suppressed and some others are not well known to us.
Now-a-days we talk a lot about sustainable development and the decreasing energy resources of the world. But
do you know, in past many people invented and discovered many methods which would have provided free
energy in large amount to the mankind, but later their works and their identity was suppressed. Among such
people, one name that comes on top is of Nikola Tesla. He made a device or basically a receiver which used the
magnetic field of earth and the radiant energy produced by Cosmic rays due to their low charge and high
velocity, and used it for producing free energy. But as his works would have started a revolution around the
globe and would have affected the global economy, he was killed, his device was destroyed and his works were
suppressed by a group of politicians.
We know many people who are great hackers but there are many hackers who are suppressed as they hacked
some of the greatest and strongest security systems around the world. Two such names that come in this list are
of Gary McKinnon and Edward Snowden. Gary McKinnon is a Scottish system administrator and hacker who
perpetrated the "biggest military computer hack of all time". McKinnon hacked 97 US military and NASA
computers over a period of 13 months and exposed some important information like evidence of free energy
suppression and a cover-up of UFO activity and other technologies potentially useful to the public.
Edward Joseph Snowdenis an American computer professional, former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
employee, and former contractor for the US Government who copied classified information from the United
States National Security Agency (NSA) in 2013 without prior authorization. The information revealed
numerous global surveillance programs, many run by the NSA and Five Eyes with the cooperation
of telecommunication companies and European governments. Snowden's revelations were the start of a series
of global surveillance disclosures. Another such suppressed scientist is Philip Schneider. Philip was employed
by Morrison-Knudsen, Inc. and was involved in building an addition to the deep underground military base at
Dulce, New Mexico. He discovered about some of the cover-ups of U.S government, about the black budgets
and the Government's involvement with UFOs. He was murdered because he openly exposed these information
to the world in his various lectures.
Another controversial but suppressed name that comes to this is of Robert Scott “Bob” Lazar. He claims to have
worked on “reverse engineering extra-terrestrial technology” at a site S4, in the Emigrant Valley and Old Kelly
Mine area near the Area 51 test facility. Universities from which he claimed to hold degrees show no record of
him and S4 site was categorized as bogus on investigation.
There are many other personalities whose identities were suppressed by the “Controllers of the world” because
they had done some mind boggling inventions and discoveries which were highly useful for mankind and would
have brought global revolution. Some were also suppressed because they revealed some dark secrets of the
military and the government and leaking of these information would have raised some very important questions
and would have pressurized government. No matter how hard we may never reach the ultimate truth.

PHYSICS FOR FUN
Man’s curiosity to understand the basic laws of Nature and efforts to demystify the mysteries of the universe
started a long time in the past. Question like ‘’who made the Nature’’ ‘’what are the Laws that govern the
Nature’s dynamics in both macroscopic and microscopic scale’’ troubled ancient thinkers a lot. Few were the
people who were curious enough to make such queries and fewer were those who dedicated their entire life
seeking for the answers. People like Galileo, Isaac Newton and Joseph Louis Lagrange made strong efforts to
frame the mathematical structure that could well explain the classical dynamics of projectiles on earth to the
complicated motion of massive planets and stars. Physics was not complicated those times and every question
had an intuitive answer that could well convince any layman. But the story has just begun.
Back in 19th century, James Clerk Maxwell made a landmark in the history of physics when he entwined two
different looking theories like Electricity and Magnetism into a single theory. He proposed the existence of
electromagnetic waves where electric and magnetic field work hand in hand to transfer energy from one point to
another in space. But such a theory gave birth to a weird conclusion that shook man’s intuitive classical
understanding, conclusion being –Speed of light is constant in all frame. This is extremely weird. It would mean
that if you have a beam of light travelling right with speed c and you are also running behind light with speed
c/2, you would still measure that speed of light is c. Classically you should measure its speed c/2. It is like if a
car (light analogy) is moving at 10m/s and you are running at 5 m/s towards the car and you still measure the
car’s velocity as 10m/s. Obviously it is not possible with cars and you would measure car’s velocity as 5 m/s.
But this is false in case of measurement of speed of light. Crazy right. This gave birth to Einstein’s Special
theory of Relativity. An interesting result of this theory is that time slows down in moving frame i.e. if you are
in a moving spaceship your aging process slows down. So question is ‘what is Time’’?
Hence we learned that nothing can outrun a light beam. This new conclusion created another controversy.
Newton’s theory of gravity is wrong if the above conclusion about the constancy of speed of light is taken as a
universal dictum. According to Newton’s theory gravitational force must act instantaneously without delay but
Einstein’s relativity theory says that gravitational force signal travel with a finite speed that is with the speed of
light. In layman language if sun were to disappear suddenly then it would take a time of 8 minutes for earth to
know that sun has disappeared and till those 8 minutes’ earth will be in an illusion that sun is still in its original
position. Also Newton’s gravitation theory failed to explain the precession of the Mercury’s orbit around the
sun. Edington wrote a letter to Einstein asking him to explain the weird nature of Mercury’s motion about sun.
Einstein was obsessed with this gravity puzzle. He spent 10 years in formulating a new theory of gravity that
will be in tune with the experimental results. He named it ‘’General Theory of Relativity’’. According to this
theory Gravity in not a force. What we call Gravity is just warping of space-time. I used the term space and time
in one word ‘space-time’ to emphasize the fact that if space is bent then time also bends. In layman language
the theory says that earth is moving round the sun because the space around the sun is warped due to the
presence of sun and earth moves in elliptical orbit because the space in which earth exists is warped by the Sun.
Hence we find that the macroscopic world is governed by laws of general relativity. So if gravity is not a force
but is a consequence of warping of space time then what is Electrostatic force? We have learned that
electrostatic force is just like gravitational force but much stronger than gravity. Gravity is only attractive but
electrostatic force can be both attractive and repulsive. Kaluza Klein gave a remarkable idea of compactified
dimension to explain Electrostatic force. He gave a theory named ‘’KaluzaKlien theory’’ that exists in 5
dimensions (4 space-time dimension and 1 compactified dimension) ... Now we are left with two more forces

32. that exists in nature- Strong force and weak force. And we need a theory that would unite them all. From now
on the story becomes creepy.
Another group of scientists like Bohr, Heisenberg and Schrodinger were engaged in unveiling the mysterious
laws that govern the microscopic world i.e. the world of fundamental particles that forms matter. It was found
conclusively that somehow particles behave as waves. This fundamental principle gave rise to a new theory
named ‘’Quantum mechanics’’. Let me try to explain it in simple language. We know that electrons are
particles like bullets. So if I fire a series of bullets using a machines gun through a slit then all the bullets will
pass the slit without deviating from their original straight line path. However, in this experiment electron beam
do not behave like bullets. The form diffraction pattern as if they are waves. However, in other experiments
electron behave on particle. So an electron beam can behave as particle or as a wave depending upon the
experiment you perform on them. Also some experiments suggested that microscopic particles can exist at two
different places at the same time.
Now sparks a new controversy. How can our world have two different theories - When we go to macroscopic
world to track the trajectory of planets and stars we use General Relativity and when we go to the microscopic
world we have to use Quantum mechanics to explain the behavior in macroscopic world? Intuitively there must
be only one theory that should explain our universal laws. Hence a search began to find a single theory that
world explain every laws of nature and this theory must unite both General relativity and Quantum mechanics.
Hence a search for ‘’Theory of Everything’’ began.
String theory (more precisely Superstring theory) is said to be the best candidate for ‘’Theory of Everything’’.
What is String theory? According to String theory all fundamental particles are made up of string of energy
(some particles are just open string vibrations and particle like graviton are closed strings). But most amazing
fact about Superstring theory is that this theory is a 10 dimensional theory which means this weird theory exists
in 10 dimensions. Now why isString theory a candidate for theory of everything? Because this one theory has
the power to unite all the fundamental forces of nature (Electrostatic, strong, weak and gravitational force).

CHARMLESS LIFE
It is being frustrating by doing the role of supporting actor in a film having full of action, comedy, suspense and
thriller. Talent is being suppressed under the knee of some personnel to whom audience used to designate as
Director or Producers. Don’t know what may be their motive behind that? Whether they are afraid of changing
the tread or scare about the fact that some emerging stars are just waiting for a chance to debut and which may
lead towards loss of their stardom. Audience becoming realistic and that need to strict the reality of world that
includes new Innovations and practicalism.
After having all the qualities of leading, you are still rejecting then the graph of frustration will become like the
XY relationship graph of a straight line having equation X=Y, in mathematical words frustration tends to
infinite and confidence tends to zero and at the same time downfall of carrier as well as life is started.
This is not only about the film industry but in every point of life that is from school, colleges to any corporate or
govt. Sector there are some directors or producers like parents to teachers or professor to senior officers, who
are doing their job of creating frustration on their subordinates’ mind very carefully. When you are offering
them any new idea then the same irritating old replay “don’t waste your time in this, you’ll not be getting

33. any promotion”. In parent’s word “don’t waste your time in sports or any other act, just focus on your study
which can give you good marks”, in professor’s word “you’ll not be getting any award by joining any student
activity, just focus on your project or seminar for good grades, which can get you a good job”, and in senior
officer’s word “no need of any change in our company, just follow the tread and avoid loss”.
But before suggesting those things the directors should think one thing that getting success in any field first
need to initiate any idea. And for getting world class success that the supporting actor need to act in lead role
and for this scope is much necessary and then the picture will also superheat.
What do you think, those directors have not had any innovative idea......?
No ... but just because of those unfavorable conditions, these thoughts are being followed as a tradition and they
are also suggesting their substituent.

POWER OF MIND
Have you ever thought why Swami Vivekananda and Albert Einstein were able to use their 12% of their brain?
If they used only 12% and the results were such then what will happen if we use 100% of our brain. Have you
listened about the people who can say your past and future exactly?
Science says that all the human beings have equal number of neuron cells then why there is a huge difference
between the brains of different individuals. Is the science wrong or there is something we are unknown about it?
Here, I will take you to the world which is real but difficult to accept. Let me cite some real stories which are
beyond our understanding level.
Vivekananda used to read books pages by pages but we read word by word. When he was at the age of 34, he
had predicted his death and it did happen. On the question of one of his disciple, why he would die at such
young and energetic age, he answered after some years his conscious level would increase to such extent that it
would be difficult for his body to hold the soul.
Einstein always used to sit on a blanket lying one corner of his room while thinking. His way of seeing the
world, matters is completely unimaginable. His research on theory of relativity is still unfathomable by many
eminent scientists.
Sri Anukula Chandra founder of Satsang Organization was also a man of mystery. He was able to see the past
and future of an individual accurately. Just by sitting at his ashram he could describe the incident happening in
the world and also about any person who were at a far distance from him.
No doubt all the human beings have equal brain but it matters how much of it is activated. More the activated
neuron cells, more the brain power of an individual. Our brain carries all the information of this world from
starting of the big bang to the evolution of man. By activating these cells one can expose the secret of this
world. The only way to activate the cells is meditation. While meditating on the spot between two eyebrows

34. which is called as a gyanchakra, hippocampus gland lying just behind it secrets certain chemical which helps
neuron cells to charge up.
The most vital part of our body is the brain. Now in medical science, failure of heart is not considered a death
rather the failure of brain is said as death. Our brain continuously emits the radiations of different frequencies.
Each thought has a specific frequency. Like that all matter release certain frequency of radiation. We are able to
detect the only strong radiation but by increasing the activated neuron cells one can even feel the low frequency
radiation. On constant dedicated meditation, one can see even the dark matter which is still insensible by the hi-
tech science. Use of 20% of the brain can give us power to control the body means to control the flow of fluids
traveling, hormonal secretion and the thoughts also.
Use of brain more than this open the way to enlightenment which had happened in case of Buddha,
Ramakrishna Paramhans, Nigamananda. Their brain became so developed that they were able to retrieve the
weak radiation that contains the information about past. Radiations emitting from matter never get extinct, only
with time it gets weaker and weaker. The stars we are seeing in this sky are their past view. There is nothing in
this world that we see their present condition. Even our image at mirror also lack some micro-seconds.
Whatever happens and going to happen in our life is involved with continuous emission of radiation. Present
radiation is only stronger but the past and future radiations are weak. Weak doesn’t mean they are not present; it
shows that they are sufficient weak to get identified by our normal brain. Individuals with more than 60% of
activated neuron cells can interpret these poor radiations and can say our past as well as future. Past radiations
are already present so it’s easy to figure out but future radiations tell us to guess where the radiation will meet
and this is quite difficult. Only persons with high conscious level can join these radiations.
Stephen Hawking who is the greatest theoretical physicists is suffering from motor neuron disease. Inspire of
this he had seen the space in such an extraordinary way which is not possible by a common brain. His
researches on black hole still amuses the practical physicists that how a disabled person can interpret on such
theories which is not possible by using modern equipment’s and devices. The reason behind this is his constant
thinking on a subject.
When one constantly meditates on something then the atom of his body vibrates. These vibrations produce
energy which increases the temperature of body. There is a thread like structure in semi-fluid state at the end of
spinal cord. With increase in temperature, this fluid rises up through spinal cord and strikes the brain. It
produces a high impact which ultimately activates the dormant neuron cells. It increases the capacity and
receiving power of the brain.
Brain is the most powerful thing in this universe. With the help of this one can see even the soul which are
mainly confined in the spiritual world. Souls are nothing but energy with very low frequency. These energies
also carry all the information of its previous life. Only a develop brain can detect the soul, can feel its presence
and extract the information from it.
Lastly, I would like to quote some proverb on it said by renowned persons….
“Everything is matter. Match your frequency with the frequency of your thoughts. There is none other way
but you will get it.”-Albert Einstein.
“Whatever we plant in our sub-conscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become
a reality.” –Earl Nightingale.

THE PURSUIT OF GREATNESS
With the advent of needs, desire, luxury, greed, lust, hunger, man forgets his ambitions of childhood- the pursuit
of greatness.
Who doesn't want to be great? Everybody does, even if they don't, sometime in life they did. As children when
our responsibilities were being carried out by elders, we had been thinking of uncountable dreams and
achievements. But as time passes, as responsibilities dawn upon us, we seldom remember those beautiful
thoughts and mostly put them aside as being insignificant. And this is just a fragment of the gigantic answer as
to where we lose ourselves. Our enthusiasm dies due to many reasons but the only problem lies within us. The
basic need is to have self-confidence on terms that we can be successful. Until optimism is acquired, greatness
and success both equally remain enigma.
People dream and dreaming is good. Making dreams your master is the unacceptable goal. For instance, some
people aspire to be doctors and the basic desire is to serve and not earn. Earning comes on its own if you have
the knowledge in yourself. Aiming at earning instead of learning is a fantastic example where we fail. And we
fail here because we tend to, not because we are bound to.
There exists a 'retirement age' in services which marks the end period of a job. The same 'retirement age' is
invalid for people who don't live to live, but love to live. They see life from a child-like perception; everything
can be acquired and many years are yet to come. We perish ourselves the moment we start planning the future
instead of working for today. Future is an abstract which is meant to be seen or imagined and not planned.
Planning without action and action without planning both are equally destructive and that is also where we fail
reaching our goals. There remains a plan we have to follow and the requisite actions that are to be executed.
Most of us never care about our dreams because we prefer seeing them at night than during the day.
Today we have bestselling motivational authors like Robin Sharma and Shiv Khera, the books of whose have
been sold in millions. But have all the million people who bought the books on success, really became
successful? Let suppose all of them turned successful, have all become great? To get the answer behind this
question, I ask you to meditate on just one sentence, "Cooks are many, chefs are few".
It incurred in my mind when I was randomly filling up forms for my admission to UG courses. I heard from
people:
"Opt for Commerce, banking sector is booming",
"Geology is awesome. Try for ISM Dhanbad and once you get there, you have assured placement in a central
govt. job",

36. "Why don't you go for English Honors? You are so good in the subject",
"With Make in India policy by Modi Government, computer and IT sector has the brightest future. You must go
for it".
Indeed, there are various opportunities but it is you who has to decide where you can enjoy and reach your goal.
What is better for you remains known to just you. People make you see from their perspective; it's true. But the
ultimate one is you who needs to judge yourself. Discovering yourself is the first pursuit of greatness. Finally,
when I decided to opt for Computer Science and Engineering, a relative expressed, "The subject is perfect for
you. You sit in front of the computer for ten hours a day, and you love it so much so I think you will excel in it".
I was amazed at those words which continually whirled around in my head. The mentioning of the average
duration was the biggest irony. I thought, 'Even the owner of the cyber cafe near our home sits in front of the
computer for ten hours or even more, how has he excelled?' The definition of success differs from person to
person so he might have become successful but has he been able to turn great? How many people are familiar
with Bill Gates (owner of Microsoft) as compared to Munna Patel (owner of a nameless cyber cafe)? If
observed from a different dimension then we observe the deeds are somewhat similar, then why this vast
difference? My perception in Shiv Khera's words is that "Winners don't do different things, they do things
differently".
That success which isn't great is not a success in true meaning. If success means a job, happy parents, marrying
a girl from a high profile family, children going to school in Audi car, then your success is in the riches, not
greatness. As such you did nothing different than what many others did. If you believe that you are born for a
unique reason, then you wouldn't waste a thought to make your coming to this world valuable. The basic
enthusiasm which makes us strive has to remain ignited till the goal is achieved. Once you become great in true
sense, you can feel greatness fill your mind with indefinable spirit. Great people don't have to shout about their
presence, their silence speaks about it. Great people neither say to lead nor to follow, but to walk like friends till
paths divert and bid adieu. They are great who know to smile even when they subside the pain within, for they
know the ultimate aim is to spread happiness. Greatness is not achieved believing in someone other than
yourself. Always remember, "To lead the crowd, you have to be apart from it, not a part of it". If you have faith
in yourself that you can do great, then nobody can stop you in your pursuit of greatness.

ONENESS IN SOCIETY
'There no can be human rights without women's right. Women's right is worldwide.'

37. The emancipation of women, the achievement of full equality between the sexes is essential to human
progress and the transformation of society. Inequality retards not only the advancement of women but the
progress of civilization itself. The persistent denial of equality to one-half of the world's population is an
affront to human dignity. It promotes destructive attitudes and habits in men and women that pass from the
family to the work place, to political life, and ultimately to international relations. On no grounds, moral,
biological, or traditional can inequality be justified. The moral and psychological climate necessary to enable
our nation to establish social justice and to contribute to global peace will be created only when women attain
full partnership with men in all fields of endeavor.
"There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of Women is improved. It is not
possible for a bird to fly on only one wing."
- SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
The systematic oppression of women is a conspicuous and tragic fact of history. Restricted to narrow spheres
of activity in the life of society, denied educational opportunities and basic human rights, subjected to
violence, and frequently treated as less than human, women have been prevented from realizing their true
potential. Age-old patterns of subordination, reflected in popular culture, literature and art, law, and even
religious scriptures, continue to pervade every aspect of life. Despite the advancement of political and civil
rights for women in America and the widespread acceptance of equality in principle, full equality has not been
achieved.
The damaging effects of gender prejudice are a fault line beneath the foundation of our national life. The gains
for women rest uneasily on unchanged, often unexamined, inherited assumptions. Much remains to be done.
The achievement of full equality requires a new understanding of who we are, what is our purpose in life, and
how we relate to one another an understanding that will compel us to reshape our lives and thereby our
society. We stand at the threshold of a new century and a new millennium. Their challenges are already upon
us, influencing our families, our lifestyles, our nation, our world. In the process of human evolution, the ages
of infancy and childhood are past. The turbulence of adolescence is slowly and painfully preparing us for the
age of maturity, when prejudice and exploitation will be abolished and unity established. The elements
necessary to unify peoples and nations are precisely those needed to bring about equality of the sexes and to
improve the relationships between women and men. The effort to overcome the history of inequality requires
the full participation of every man, woman, youth, and child.
"Women can hold the banner of community and act as a beacon of hope and aspirations."
-Sir Syed
Over a century ago, for the first time in religious history, Mohammed the Founder of the Islamic Faith, in
announcing God's purpose for the age, proclaimed the principle of the equality of women and men, saying:
"Women and men have been and will always be equal in the sight of God." The establishment of equal rights
and privileges for women and men, Prophet says, is a precondition for the attainment of a wider unity that will
ensure the well-being and security of all peoples.

38. The Writings state emphatically that "When all mankind shall receive the same opportunity of education and
the equality of men and women be realized, the foundations of war will be utterly destroyed."
In Hindu Upanishad the oneness of humankind is mentioned. The principle of oneness requires that we
"regard humanity as a single individual, and one's own self as a member of that corporeal form, "and that we
foster an unshakable consciousness that
"if pain or injury afflicts any member of that body, it must inevitably result in suffering for all the rest."
The Writings state that to proclaim equality is not to deny that differences in function between women and
men exist but rather to affirm the complementary roles men and women fulfill in the home and society at
large. Stating that the acquisition of knowledge serves as "a ladder for human ascent, "prescribes identical
education for women and men but stipulates that when resources are limited first priority should be given to
the education of women and girls. The education of girls is particularly important because, although both
parents have responsibilities for the rearing of children, it is through educated mothers that the benefits of
knowledge can be most effectively diffused throughout society.
Reverence for, and protection of, motherhood have often been used as justification for keeping women
socially and economically disadvantaged. It is this discriminatory and injurious result that must change. Great
honor and nobility are rightly conferred on the station of motherhood and the importance of training children.
Addressing the high station of motherhood, the Bible said that, "O ye loving mothers, know ye that in God's
sight, the best of all ways to worship Him is to educate the children and train them in all the perfections of
humankind. . .." The great challenge facing society is to make social and economic provisions for the full and
equal participation of women in all aspects of life while simultaneously reinforcing the critical functions of
motherhood.
" Our women have a very great part to play in the progress of our country as the mental and physical
contact of Women with life is much more lasting and comprehensive than that of man."
- Dr. Rajendra Prasad
The elimination of discrimination against women is a spiritual and moral imperative that must ultimately
reshape existing legal, economic, and social arrangements. Promoting the entry of greater numbers of women
into positions of prominence and authority is a necessary but not sufficient step in creating a just social order.
Without fundamental changes in the attitudes and values of individuals and in the underlying ethos of social
institutions, full equality between women and men cannot be achieved. A community based on partnership, a
community in which aggression and the use of force are supplanted by cooperation and consultation, requires
the transformation of the human heart.
"The full and equal participation of women in all spheres of life is essential to social and economic
development, the abolition of war, and the ultimate establishment of united world.”
The world in the past has been ruled by force, and man has dominated over woman by reason of his more
forceful and aggressive qualities both of body and mind. But the balance is already shifting; force is losing its
dominance, and mental alertness, intuition, and the spiritual qualities of love and service, in which woman is
strong, are gaining ascendancy. Hence the new age will be an ageless masculine and more permeated with the

39. feminine ideals . . . an age in which the masculine and feminine elements of civilization will be more evenly
balanced.
Men have an inescapable duty to promote the equality of women. The presumption of superiority by men
thwarts the ambition of women and inhibits the creation of an environment in which equality may reign. The
destructive effects of inequality prevent men from maturing and developing the qualities necessary to meet
the challenges of the new millennium. "As long as women are prevented from attaining their highest
possibilities,”, “so long will men be unable to achieve the greatness which might be theirs." It is essential that
men engage in a careful, deliberate examination of attitudes, feelings, and behavior deeply rooted in cultural
habit, that block the equal participation of women and stifle the growth of men. The willingness of men to
take responsibility for equality will create an optimum environment for progress: "When men own the
equality of women there will be no need for them to struggle for their rights!"
The long-standing and deeply rooted condition of inequality must be eliminated. To overcome such a
condition requires the exercise of nothing short of "genuine love, extreme patience, true humility,
consummate tact, sound initiative, mature wisdom, and deliberate, persistent, and prayerful
effort." Ultimately, a day will come when men will welcome women in all aspects of life. Now is the time to
move decisively toward that promised future.
The world of humanity is possessed of two wings: the male and the female. So long as these two wings are not
equivalent in strength, the bird will not fly. Until womankind reaches the same degree as man, until she enjoys
the same arena of activity, extraordinary attainment for humanity will not be realized; humanity cannot wing
its way to heights of real attainment. When the two wings . . . become equivalent in strength, enjoying the
same prerogatives, the flight of man will be exceedingly lofty and extraordinary.
