INTERESTING SPEECHES: J.K. Rowling Speaks at Harvard Commencement




J. K. ROWLING'S MAGICAL HARVARD SPEECH

Joanne Rowling, born 31 July 1965, writing under the pen names J. K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith, is a British novelist, philanthropist, film producer, television producer and screenwriter, best known for writing the Harry Potter fantasy series. The books have won multiple awards, and sold more than 500 million copies, becoming the best-selling book series in history. They have also been the basis for a film series, over which Rowling had overall approval on the scripts and was a producer on the final films in the series.

Born in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, Rowling was working as a researcher and bilingual secretary for Amnesty International when she conceived the idea for the Harry Potter series while on a delayed train from Manchester to London in 1990. The seven-year period that followed saw the death of her mother, birth of her first child, divorce from her first husband and relative poverty until the first novel in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was published in 1997. There were six sequels, of which the last, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was released in 2007. Since then, Rowling has written five books for adult readers: The Casual Vacancy (2012) and—under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith—the crime fiction novels The Cuckoo's Calling (2013), The Silkworm (2014), Career of Evil (2015), and Lethal White (2018).

Rowling has lived a "rags to riches" life story, in which she progressed from living on state benefits to being the world's first billionaire author. She lost her billionaire status after giving away much of her earnings to charity, but remains one of the wealthiest people in the world. She is the United Kingdom's bestselling living author, with sales in excess of £238M. The 2016 Sunday Times Rich List estimated Rowling's fortune at £600 million, ranking her as the joint 197th richest person in the UK. Time named her a runner-up for its 2007 Person of the Year, noting the social, moral, and political inspiration she has given her fans. In October 2010, Rowling was named the "Most Influential Woman in Britain" by leading magazine editors. She has supported charities, including Comic Relief, One Parent Families and Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain, and launched her own charity, Lumos.

"Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert," begins Allan Savory in this quietly powerful talk. And terrifyingly, it's happening to about two-thirds of the world's grasslands, accelerating climate change and causing traditional grazing societies to descend into social chaos. Savory has devoted his life to stopping it. He now believes -- and his work so far shows -- that a surprising factor can protect grasslands and even reclaim degraded land that was once desert.

INDIA WATCH : A GLIMPSE INTO ANCIENT INDIAN ASTRONOMY


A GLIMPSE INTO ANCIENT INDIAN ASTRONOMY

KHURSHED BATLIWALA (BAWA)

While astronomy is the science of exploring the world that is outside, meditation is the science of exploring what is inside. In this talk by Khurshed Batliwala,  he explores how Ancient Indian Scientists and Astronomers knew about the wonders of the outside world which modern day science is still catching up.

With a post graduate in Mathematics from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, Khurshed Batliwala, or Bawa as he is fondly known (a nick name that has stuck from his IIT days) is an extraordinary personality.

In his own words, he decided it was better to teach people meditation and make them happy rather than teach them mathematics and make them miserable and thus chose the unconventional and challenging career path as a faculty member of the Art of Living, sharing the vision of its founder, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, which is to see a smile on every face on the planet.

Khurshed Batliwala and Dinesh Ghodke,  Faculties of Art of Living and Authors of the best selling books Ready, Study, Go! and Happiness Express, make talks on how to deal with the most common problems that most of us face, which can be  effortlessly integrated into daily life.

Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to India to film the epic work of the Paani Foundation’s Water Cup Competition. We tour the village of Velu, in Maharashtra, who won the 2016 competition to install the most amount of water harvesting structures in a 45 day period. Guided by Paani Foundation’s chief advisor, DR. AVINASH POL, we take a ride through the village watershed and see a massive water diversion and groundwater recharge project that has dramatically improved the lives, economy, ecology and stability of this village. Although the Paani Foundation doesn't use the word Permaculture to describe what they do, we examine why their work has turned into the biggest Permaculture project on Earth!

VITAMIN F

*VITAMIN F*💐💐

 (I loved this and want to share it with you all)😊😊

Why do I have a *variety of friends* who are all so different in character ? How can I get along with them all?               

I think that each one helps to bring out a "different" part of me.

 *With one of them I am polite.*

*I joke with another friend.*

*I sit down and talk about serious matters with one.*

*With another I laugh a lot.*

*I listen to one friend's problems.*

*Then I listen to another one's advice for me.*

*My friends are all like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.*
*When completed they form a treasure Box !!!*

We all pray for each other.

Even Doctors tell us that friends are good for our health.

Dr. Oz calls them *Vitamin F* (for Friends) and counts the benefits of friends as essential to our well being.       

*Research shows that people in strong social circles have less risk of depression and terminal strokes.*  

If you enjoy *Vitamin F* constantly,  
you can be up to 30 years *younger than your real age.*  

*The warmth of friendship stops* stress and even in your most intense moments it decreases the chance of a cardiac arrest or stroke by 50%.

I'm so happy that I have such a huge stock of 
*Vitamin F.*
  
🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹
