Forgotten Heroes

26th July was a very ordinary day for all of us. We must have spent the day sitting in our home watching movies or going to some amusement park. But for many people it is the same day when there life was changed forever ten years back.
26th July2009 marks the tenth anniversary of our victory over Pakistani intruders in Kargil war. But how many still even remember the sacrifices made by our jawans. Those peoples have given their life so that they can protect us, our country and our democracy. But by doing nothing for our country we are simply forgetting them. They did not wanted a lot of money or lot opportunities. And after dying they don't want any memorials built for them. They only wanted to see their country and countrymen living happily. But are we doing any of those for which they have given up their lives. I don't think that remembering just means lighting candles signings songs etc. But remembering means doing whatever they wanted us to do. Then only there holy souls can rest in peace.
I ask all you not to just plant that tricolour on this Independence Day. Sing few songs and then forget it for the rest of 364 days. Salute that tricolour only if you understand what the importance of it. How many have peoples died more than 60 years ago so that it can flutter in free air. And still today how many people are giving their lives so that our great nation and live and live on forever.
The responsibility to make India the best country in the have been given to us by these great peoples to us. We have to accept our responsibility towards our country. If at some point our country fails then we all have the responsibility to correct it. By passing blame to a politician we are in reality hide our own mistakes. In democracy the country is run by the people. So celebrate this Independence Day trying to accept your responsibility towards your country in way these martyrs had. Then only could we never forget them.

Destination Moon - Pallava Bagla, Subhadra Menon

In 2008 Indian Flag was planted on lunar soil. But how did Indian reached their? What started with sending sounding rockets for the benefit of the newly formed developing country ended up being the leading space programme in the world? It gives all the details on how the Indian Space Programme evolved. Starting literally from scratch, and fight foreign embargoes and technology denial regimes it evolved in to country’s if not world finest institution. It shows how it started under the visionaries like Vikram Sarbai, Homi Bhaba, and the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and was subsequently supported by different governments. The space programme it self shows that if given in the right hands and in down in the best way possible it can not only be India’s best but also world’s best. It is surely inspiration for all the crumbling government institutions. In the later chapters it also gives us an insight into the future of ISRO. It also have the interview Dr G.Madhavan Nairof ISRO, Dr....

Negative Vote

This year I won’t be able to vote because I will turn 18 on 12th of May. So I have decided to ask as many people as I could to vote this year in this LS election. But who ever I told to vote said that whom we should vote for no one is good. In reality also all the member hardly differ from each other. Every on speaks in the same voice. No says something good for which we should vote for. And today’s youth is not that fool who will be misled by there false rhetoric. So the best way to not to vote for those people is not to go for votes. But in this way a whole generation will be created who will have no belief in this democratic system. Previously when there was the paper voting system negative votes can be caste in many ways but nowadays the with EVMs this is not possible. But what if a voter doesn’t like any of the candidates. His only option as I said above could be not to vote. But is that fair. Election Commission must start the Negative Voting system. At least then we could in rea...

Thank god it’s over!

2008 what a damn year this was. From start to the end this can’t get any worse than this. Nothing good has happened this year except that Manish have called me. This is just horrible year right out of some horror movie. Thank god it’s over now or perhaps I am going to die. I just hope that next year turns out to be much better. We will surely see how Obama is going to work in his oval office. Then we have a major task ahead of us. This is really a colossus task isn’t. I don’t know whether I am going to be able to give vote. Most of my friends will be able to but it is very sad. And I am really going to miss school days. I don’t know how the college is going to be. So get good cakes and make this year really great. Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very happy new year.
