"National Science day"

"National Science day", thank God, Raman effect was discovered on the 28th of feburary, and not on the 29th, else, we would have been celebrating this day, after every four years. Schools, colleges and Universities celebrates this day, remembers the great Indian Scientists.
For me, 28th february reminds me of the day, when i was a Student of Masters of Science at Andhra University, like every University, we too had some seminars and debate at the Ambedkar theater inside the University campus. From our department, it was me and swathi, who attended the gathering on behalf of the students along with us Lavanya (research Scholar), was also there. 
The hall was packed up with students, Research Scholars, Professors and Scientists, from various streams of pure and applied  Science. Who ever spoke, holding the loud speaker, leaning on the podium, that day, had one thing in common, they all spoke about, India's contribution, in the field of Inventions and Discoveries. It makes us feel proud to know how many great brains were from our country, but then most of the researches are done in United States of America. Indian Scientists become residents of the United states and complete their research there.Many people blame them, but i don't.
Swathi spoke , in front of the gathering, i support her for what she said that day. 
"There is nothing wrong in working for a foreign country, at least you get paid for your great contribution for the society and mankind. You know even if you are busy with your research, cut off from the whole world, the stipen will not let your family starve.  Go to which ever country pays you, show the world how intelligent Indians are, get the name and fame for every one in your country, including your family, and come back, once you are done living your dreams as a Scientist".
Great Thought Swathi!

Mamta Banerjee should apologies

"Mother of two children, separated, living alone, goes to bar, boozes", all these are signs of a characterless women, what if a i replace the word : MOTHER"  and put the word "FATHER", then he is considered responsible? 
I am sorry to comment on Mamta Banerjee's Party, when she came to power every one thought the time has come for change in West Bengal, she did do a lot for the state, no doubt on that, but i am ashamed for what her party men had to say for a women who was raped when a women is the Chief Minister of the State. Being a women she should first support a women and her emotions. 
How does it matter if a women chooses a particular life style, just because she is separated, goes to the bar, she is some one who would like to get raped? The talk show on NDTV 24/7 pointed out this issue,  if  a prostitute denies to have sex, doing so without her consent is rape.
 State like West Bengal, where women are given liberty, statement like "characterless" that too from the party of a women chief minister? i would say Mamta Banerjee should apologies.

Simhachalam

When I think of any holy place in India, only thing that i think about is mis management of the temple administration. Being a Hindu i am scared to visit temples, because of the kind of business that they run, i would rather sit at home and pray in front of the various idols that i have in my pooja room. Two years back i have been to PURI with my mother, it was first time for me, and the kind of business that the pandas run, was "no word in dictonary".  


I know any body can visit any temple, we are not charged for darshan, we will not get any special blessings from  God if we offer more, Its just that how much we believe in his existence. 


One such holy place that i have been visiting is Simhachalam. Simhachalam is situated on the top of the hills in Vizag district. I am proud to say that, the temple administration was the best, when i compare to other temples that i have visited. We have free entry, every one gets 5-10 seconds of darshan, there was a minister who had his body guards along with him who were in the queue along with others for the darshan. Here every one is treated equally. After the darshan every one gets free lunch tickets. Though i was getting late for office i wanted to experience the meals at a holy place, i was amazed to see people from every class  sitting down and having the meals with great respect for the food. No one was wasting a single grain, i wanted to peep into the kitchen to see how hygienic it was, i found it better than any road side hotel. No one here was treated  specially, every one in front of the Simhachalam administration was human, who deserved respect, and they got it here.


I am sure God really lives here.

Hippocratic society

"Don't do this, Don't do that" i am fed up of this Hippocratic society that i live in.
 Why do girls always have to be in the good books? i have always been in the so called good books of the Indian society, i had limited friends as a school girl, i studied in a women's college, i did Masters which i am proud of, but opted for a subject that was available in my home town, now, i am working,but still my parents keep a tab on, where i am going, how much time i will stay out of home, when i will come back, as parents i know they are worried about me, which is a valid, but i hate when they say "what if some one sees you outside so late in the night"?
Are my parents really answerable to all those people outside? do they feed me when i am hungry? did they buy me clothes in any of the festivals? did they compromise in any thing when it came to my admission fees? so why do they become so important when it comes to my personal life?
