Leaving
London behind, armed with his 1913 railway guide, Michael Portillo follows the
most popular route of the Edwardian traveller through France.
His first
stop is Paris, where he absorbs the atmosphere of La Belle Époque, before he
travels south to the Cote D'Azur, where he samples the Edwardian highlife and
learns why the area attracted the rich and artistic alike. He then ends his
journey as he arrives at the gaming tables in glamorous Monte Carlo.

Charlie Chaplin told the audience a wonderful joke and all the people started laughing...
Charlie repeated the same joke and only few people laughed..????
He again repeated the same joke but this time no one laughed...??????
Then he said these beautiful lines...;
"when you cannot laugh on the same joke again and again...then why do you cry again and again on the same worry." So enjoy your every moment of life..!!Life is beautiful! - a good day to recollect his 3 heart-touching statements:-
(1) Nothing is permanent in this world, not even our troubles.
(2) I like walking in the rain, because nobody can see my tears.
(3) The most wasted day in life is the day in which we have not laughed.
😊Keep smiling and pass this message to everyone whom you would like to
Today is the birthday of one of India’s greatest theoretical physicist - ECG Sudarshan - the man who proved Einstein wrong !!
Fondly known as ECG, his every heartbeat was for his love for physics.
Born in Kerala, he went on to the University of Texas, but his love for India continued. He was a visiting faculty in Indian colleges & loved igniting the spark of curiosity & knowledge in young minds.
He was a Vedantin & loved Carnatic music. In fact, you could see him in traditional clothes on many occasions.
Einstein said that nothing could travel faster than light, but ECG discovered tachyons, which could move faster
He was nominated for the Nobel a record 9 times but never won. In fact, people have won based on his research but he was ignored.
Yes. He was also instrumental in getting synchronous gears in trucks because the drivers were finding it tough to change gears when non synchronous gears were being used.
He also didn't believe in making supra normal profits because the demand for Tata trucks were high.
A genuine gentleman and whose contributions were recognized by a large hearted group 🙏
Saturday 23
June 2012 marks the centenary of the birth of ALAN TURING - mathematical
genius, hero of the WWII code breakers of Bletchley Park, and father of modern
computing.
Alan Turing
was a mathematician, cryptographer and pioneer of computer science who
possessed one of the greatest brains of the 20th century. His life was one of
secret triumphs shadowed by public tragedy.

In the 19th century chemists noticed that certain chemical reactions seemed to be caused by substances that remained unchanged in the process.
In the 1880s Wilhelm Ostwald studied the speeds of numerous chemical reactions, including reactions occurring in the presence of acids and bases. In 1894 he revealed what happens: a substance - a catalyst - can affect a chemical reaction's speed, but is not included in its end-products. It does this by lowering the reaction's activation energy - the energy needed to kick-off a reaction (see picture). This understanding shed great light on chemical reactions occurring in both industrial processes and living organisms and led to Ostwald receiving the 1909 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

This is what people close say about me: “Misfit, Dreamer, Impractical, Champion of lost causes, Always Wrong” etc. etc. Maybe they are right, maybe not. What do I think of myself? I am trying to find out.
