Fairwell story that started with chasing 10 off 2 at Ahmedabad in 2023 ended in failing to chase 10 off 2 at Chinnaswamy in 2024
If that is how it should end, fine let it be💛
In the forty-second amendment in 1976, Article 51 A(h) was added under the Fundamental Duties that states:
[It shall be the duty of every citizen of India] To develop scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform.
“During my career as a mangaka, I got married, had kids and became a father. This directly influenced the story in Naruto. Through these experiences, I realized the important things in life.
Being a parent gave me a different perspective, which I didn’t have when I was single.
The character Naruto represents a little bit of myself and a little bit of my children. It was after my child was born that I wanted to write about Naruto’s parents.
The way that Naruto’s parents feel about him is very close to how I feel towards my kids.
But I don’t want to get too preachy- because manga must always be entertaining. It has to be told from the kid’s point of view.
Even if I died someday, I want to leave a work in the world that would let my kids understand what I always wanted to tell them.” - Kishimoto
The people who took us over the moon could also be the most down to Earth people you'll see. And that's the beauty of Indian culture 🙏🏽 🇮🇳 #Chandrayaan3
Portrait of "The Father of the Atomic Bomb" J. Robert Oppenheimer taken in 1958. He was born on April 22, 1904, in New York City, was a brilliant physicist and one of the key figures in the development of the atomic bomb during World War II. He is often referred to as the "father of the atomic bomb" due to his significant contributions to the Manhattan Project.
Oppenheimer came from a privileged background; his father was a successful textile importer. From a young age, he displayed an insatiable curiosity and exceptional intelligence. After completing his undergraduate studies at Harvard University, Oppenheimer pursued a Ph.D. in physics at the University of Göttingen in Germany, where he was exposed to cutting-edge research and worked with renowned physicists.
Upon returning to the United States, Oppenheimer accepted a teaching position at the University of California, Berkeley, where he became heavily involved in theoretical physics research. His studies on quantum mechanics and nuclear physics garnered him widespread recognition within the scientific community.
In the early 1940s, as World War II raged on, Allied leaders recognized the potential of harnessing nuclear energy for military purposes. The Manhattan Project was established in 1942, with Oppenheimer as its scientific director. Under his guidance, some of the brightest minds in science and engineering came together to build the world's first atomic bomb.
Oppenheimer's leadership, organizational skills, and ability to inspire his colleagues were vital to the success of the Manhattan Project. However, the ethical implications of creating such a powerful weapon weighed heavily on him. He was well aware of the devastating consequences of atomic warfare and reportedly quoted the Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita, saying, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds," after witnessing the first successful test of the atomic bomb in the New Mexico desert on July 16, 1945.
Despite his concerns, the atomic bomb was used in August 1945, when the United States dropped bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading to the end of World War II. The use of these bombs caused an ethical debate that continues to this day.
After the war, Oppenheimer became an advocate for international control of atomic weapons. He served as the Chairman of the General Advisory Committee of the newly formed United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). Unfortunately, his political beliefs and associations led to a series of controversial events during the early Cold War era.
During the Second Red Scare and the rise of McCarthyism in the 1950s, Oppenheimer faced accusations of being sympathetic to communism. His security clearance was revoked, and he was effectively blacklisted from sensitive government projects. This marked a tragic turn in his life and career.
Despite the hardships, Oppenheimer remained an active professor and continued to contribute to the field of theoretical physics. In 1963, President Lyndon B. Johnson awarded him the Enrico Fermi Award for his significant contributions to the development of atomic energy.
J. Robert Oppenheimer passed away on February 18, 1967, in Princeton, New Jersey, leaving behind a complicated legacy. He was a brilliant scientist whose work shaped the course of history. However, he was also deeply affected by the consequences of his creations and faced personal and professional challenges due to his political beliefs. Despite the controversies, his contributions to science and the development of atomic energy remain of paramount importance, and his name will forever be associated with the dawning of the atomic age.
Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:
"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”
This summer may push India closer to the limits of human survival. Rising temperatures are forecast in the coming weeks after India experienced its hottest February on record. The region is at serious risk of wet-bulb if global temperatures continue to rise.
