In 1881, drawing on her experience as a cook, Fanny Hesse suggested using agar instead of gelatin to culture bacteria: a simple idea that helped shape microbiology today.
Happy birthday to a pioneer who deserved far more recognition. 🧫

Firstly, I’m delighted to see that we’re on top as far as the number of Universities are concerned. However, as we all know, quantity doesn’t equal quality…Our goal should be to make our ranking identical on BOTH lists! @dpradhanbjp
उस दिन वर्षों बाद उसका फ़ोन आया
कहा कि मन उदास था, इसलिए फोन कर लिया
मैंने पूछा कहाँ रहती हो तुम ?
वह जोर से हंसी
क्या तुम्हें सचमुच नहीं पता मैं कहां रहती हूं ?
कहते- कहते उदास हो गई
फोन कट गया
उसका दु��ारा कभी फोन नहीं आया
वह दुबारा मेरे लिए कभी उदास नहीं हुई होगी
[कई बार प्रेम मर जाता है, उदासियां जिन्दा रह जाती हैं, उदासियों का कत्ल करना दुबारा प्रेम का कत्ल करना ही है।]
इस तरह प्रेम को मैंने दो बार मारा ...
बावजूद इसके प्रेम कहां मरा ?
किसी दिन फोन कि घंटी बजेगी
फिर से वही चिरपरिचित आवाज़ कानों में गूंजेगी
मन उदास लग रहा था, इसलिए तुम्हें फोन कर लिया
या फिर यह भी कह सकती है कि
मैं तुमसे प्���ेम करती हूं पर
अब उदासी के अलावा उसे कोई शब्द नहीं दे सकती
दे दूं तो भी वह कितना अर्थहीन शब्द होगा
जिसमें प्रेम के होने को जताना पड़े ?
इसलिए वर्षों- वर्षों तक तुम मुझे उदास ही रहने देना।
