Gandhiji
The Swaraj or Freedom that Gandhiji dreamed was not merely of a political character. It was to be a means to create a new man, who would strive to create a new society,a new civilization and a newculture. He called the new social order 'Ramraj' - 'the Kingdom of God on Earth'. Lovewould be the sole law there.All would be dutiful. There would be no distinction of caste, religion and community. No one would be treated as untouchables.All would beequal in the eyes of religion, All would live by the sweat of their brow. The intellectual worker and the manual worker would be equals; neither could claim superiority.There would be no intoxicating drinks. Women would be honored. Every one would be ready to give up his life for the good of his country. Gandhiji called such a state of society 'Sarvodaya (The Prosperity of All).To realize Sarvodaya, man has to live with fellow men, with other living beings and nature in understanding and harmony.Service to the lowly and the lost in society was Gandhiji's first step towards Sarvodaya.Gandhiji taught that knowledge and wealth devoid of religion and morals led to the fall of men. He died as a martyr in the cause of true religion.A leader's responsibilities are high. He has to examine himself severely time and again, to convince himself that he is fit to lead others. He has to bear all the moral responsibility for all that his followers do. If he feels unable to do so, he has to retire from the field of action.Through self- criticism and self-confidence, he has to work to lead this imperfect world in the way of perfection. This is the deathless message that Gandhiji has left us.
Single-minded devotion to the God of Truth and prayer are lights that Gandhiji has bequeathed to us. He could not remain without prayer even for a single day. 'Silent prayer is my greatest strength' - he used to say.'Raghupathi Raghava Rajaram, Pathitha Pavana Seetharam.'Whenever we hear this prayer Gandhiji's memory becomes alive. His soul will be present there unseen, and blesses all. It is the task of religion to purify the fallen; it is the power of goodness in man. What does it matter what name we give it? Let us all is blessed with goodness. This is the perennial message that Gandhiji has left to mankind.
As a boy Gandhiji was afraid of ghosts and devils. A good nurse, Rambha by name, taught him to repeat the name of Shri Rama to get over this fear. It brought him hope and courage. He chanted it day in and day out. It is significant that, when the assassin shot at him and his bodyslumped to find eternal rest in the lap of Mother Earth, the last words he uttered were 'Rama', 'Rama'.
Mahatma Gandhiji, called 'Bapu' by his loving countrymen, will ever be remembered as a saint and a great leader of men.

A TRIBUTE TO ALBERT EINSTEIN
Nobody did more to pioneer developments in science and physics than Albert Einstein, who died on 18 April, 1955 aged 76.
His theories of special and general relativity are widely regarded as the most satisfactory model of the universe we live in.
His cartoon features – wild hair and expressive face – are still widely used today to depict crazy or absent-minded scientists.
But there was nothing mad about a man who became the most influential figure in physics in the 20 th century.
Albert Einstein was born into a Jewish family in Ulm, Wurttemberg, Germany, on 14 March, 1879, although they soon moved to Munich where he began his education.
The Einsteins moved on to Italy and a young Albert continued his schooling at Aarau in Switzerland and in 1896 started training to become a teacher in physics and mathematics.
Unable to find a teaching post, he took a job as a technical assistant at the Swiss Patent Office and went on to teach at universities in Prague, Zurich and Berlin. But it was in his spare time that he produced most of his remarkable work.
At the start of his scientific research, he recognised the limitations of Newtonian mechanics and his special theory of relativity stemmed from a bid to reconcile the rules of mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field, underlined by his famous equation E=mc2.
He dealt with statistical mechanic conundrums and the problems when they were merged with quantum theory, which led to an explanation of the Brownian movement of molecules. His work also led to the photon theory of light.
In 1921 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his services to theoretical physics and for his discovery of the photoelectric effect.

DOES IT PROMOTE KNOWLEDGE ?
As new technologies make it possible to move information faster than ever before was are dazzled by the million of gigabytes that move across the world in nanoseconds. Yet we hardly ask questions about the quality of the information : what is it that we are communicating ? Is it relevant ? And does all this information add up to knowledge ? The challenge is to get the information to where it is needed through the most cost – effective method possible. Only when information helps people communicate and participate and allow them and their rules to make informed choices does that information became knowledge . The growing gap between the knows and not –knows . If we want to turn information into knowledge , and give the developing world changes to take a short cut to prosperity , the knowledge has needs to be bridged urgently.
Here we are not talking about the top –of -the line computers in each classroom , we are talking about a teacher who is trained and motivated , a classroom that has school children who have enough to eat so that their brains are not stunted by low – Calorie intake . The Scriptures are right ; “Knowledge is a sword , and wisdom is a shield “. Perhaps nowhere is the raw power of knowledge as relevant today as it is for the two – thirds of the world’s people who live in the countries of south , the holy trinity of the information age – television , telephone and computer – is present if at all only in its cabled satellite television incarnation.
Advance information technology are supposed to shrink distance but they don’t necessarily bring people together . better communications through satellite may give people a wider array of programming to choose from but it does not guarantee that they will be more tolerant of diversity .Knowledge may be a sword but it is double edged . the delivery machanisam for knowledge is today in the hands fewer fewer people. More and more of the message propagate a global consumer monoculture.

CHANDRAYAAN -1
The fundamental question to understand the origin and evolution of the universe , solar system , planetary atmosphere and living system have been the driving force behind man’s quest for space exploration . One of the major interests has been the investigations of the planets and their satellites .
With the four billion years of solar system history preserved in it .Moon the nearest neighbor of the earth has always evoked intense curiosity of mankind. Since the initiation of the lunar exploration programme as early as 1959, more than 100 exploratory missions have been carried out and wealth of lunar data has been accumulated. However the critical and fundamental questions about the Moon’s origin ,formation and interior structure ,Chemical/ Mineralogical composition still exist .
Chandrayaan 1 is the is the first instrumented Indian Mission to the Moon and also the forst ISRO (Indian Space Reserch Organisation )venture to leave earth’s gravity , The mission is aimed at high – resolution remote sensing of lunar surface in visible , near infrared ,low and high energy Xray regions to prepare the three dimensional atlas of both near and far side of moon and conduct chemical mineralogical mapping of the entire lunar surface for distribution of elements using eleven statc-of –the art instruments . Chandrayaan 1 Mission is one of the most exceptional example of international collaboration towards exploring the moon.

MIRACLES OF NANO
Nano is a Greek word which means " dwart" . One nano meter is 1/10 9th of meter. Nano materials have size between 1 nano meter and 100 nanometer . He Know a molecule is the smallest particle of substancewhich shows the same physical and chemical properties of the parent substance. Carbon , Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms should combine in a certain proportion for the formation of the Sugar . If the proportion or order is changes , sugar is not formed. Thus properties of a substance depend on atom and their arrangement in a material. The diameter of a Hydrogen atom is 0.1 nanometer ie when ten Hydrogen atoms are placedin a staright line,it is one nanometer .
Nano technology cannot stated as a branch of science. it is the science of science and creating revolutionary change . It includes material Science , Physics Engineering , Chemistry , Biology , Computer Science , Electronics , information technology etc . This technology is able to create unbelievable revolutionary changes in our day today life
Nano technology finds highly effective application in Medical science. for instance , medicine with magnetic propertie , if it is injected ito the human body , then by applying suitable magnetic field outside the body bring these medicines into a particular region /spot as we need.
