A Thought for Today-695: Worry is ...

Worry is a total waste of time. It does not change anything. All it does is steal your joy and keeps you very busy doing nothing.

Videos to Watch-3: A Wise Lesson In Empathy

A Wise Lesson In Empathy


A wise lesson in Empathy: With billions of us humans on earth it's incredible to see how we are all connected and similar in many ways. At the same time we are all individuals with our own opinions, thoughts and values. At times, we can feel so strongly about something that it could blind us from seeing the bigger picture or taking into account that there's more than one way to approach the situation. Perhaps if we took a moment to step into the other person's shoes we will see where that person is coming from and by doing so it will make all the difference.

Grateful thanks to Meir Kay and YouTube.

Here comes the sun watcher, India’s Aditya-L1
Shubashree Desikan
Made in India probe prepares to study solar phenomena


Sometime in 2019 or 2020 India will send ISRO’s solar mission Aditya-L1 to a vantage point in space, known as the L1 Lagrange point, to do imaging and study of the sun. This launch will happen in the early part of the next solar cycle - an occurrence in which sunspots form on the face of the sun, growing in size and number and eventually diminishing, all over a period of eleven years. It will be a mission of many firsts.

Self-Improvement-164: The best things in life...

The best things in life are free:
Hugs, Smiles, Friends, Family, Love, Laughter, and good memories

Nothing in nature lives for itself.
Rivers don’t drink their own water.
Trees don’t eat their own fruit.
The Sun doesn’t shine for itself.
A flower’s fragrance is not for itself.
Living for each other s the rule of nature.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.
So when life is dragging you back with difficulties,
It means that it is going to launch you into something
great. So just focus and keep aiming

A Thought for Today-693: You love rain...

You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it.
You say you love sun, but you seek shelter when it is shining.
You way you love wind, but when it comes you close your windows.

So that is why I am scared when you say you love me – Bob Marley

Anecdotes-3: A DREAM OF DEATH

A DREAM OF DEATH

"I do not know if the sacrifice of Mr. Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi has gone in vain. His spirit always inspired me. I envy his sacrifice. Is it not shocking that this country hasnot produced another Ganesh Shankar? None after him came to fill the gap. Ganesh Shankar's Ahimsa was perfect Ahimsa. My Ahimsa will also be perfect if I could die similarly peacefully with axe blows on my head. I have always been dreaming of such a death, and I wish to treasure this dream. How noble that death will be,—a daggar attack on me from one side; an axe blow from another; a lathi wound administered from yet another direction and kicks and abuses from all sides and if in the midst of these I could rise to the occasion and remain non-violent and peaceful and could ask others to act and behave likewise, and finally I could die with cheer on my face and smile on my lips, then and then alone my Ahimsa will be perfect and true. I am hankering after such an opportunity  and also wish Congressmen to remain in search of such an opportunity."


— Message sent by Mahatma Gandhi on the occasion of the celebration of the anniversary of the martyrdom of Shri Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi,

Eyecatchers-192: Smart Digital Address System

“eLoc represents a Smart Digital Address System. The World Bank in 2005 said that Addressing is a real problem. Which is why you see countries going through a new address system every 20 years. In India for example, there are so many ways of addressing… and these are confusing, and nothing has really solved the problem…

When an emergency happens and someone calls up the dial 100 service saying there’s an emergency, send someone to C block 231, 3rd floor etc…. that’s taking too much time. They should just say, ‘send someone to 8GDTYX”. Its much quicker and dis-ambiguous…

We believe that this will be the fundamental base. Just like Aadhaar has been for people, eLoc will be for addresses.” – Rohan Verma, CTO & Executive Director, MapmyIndia

To check & share your eLoc today, visit www.eloc.me & search for your address. To learn more about how eLoc can be used for doorstep delivery, door-step level civic service delivery, disaster management etc., please visit – www.mapmyindia.com/eloc.
