STATUE OF UNITY

Sure, numbers don’t lie but just numbers didn’t really give us an idea about how big the Statue of Unity really is. To understand their true meaning we had to feel them. We knew that the Statue of Unity, standing at 182 metres is now the world’s tallest statue. But not until we stood next to it, dwarfed even by the feet of the Iron Man of India, did we grasp the full enormity of this statue. Statue of Unity, Kevadia, Gujarat, India What is the Statue of Unity? The Statue of Unity is the statue of Sardar Vallabhai Patel. He is popularly referred to as the Iron Man of India. Post India’s independence in 1947, he played a pivotal role in bringing all the then-disjointed princely states into the Union of India. As a tribute to his towering personality, the statue, the tallest statue in the world, is rightly called the Statue of Unity. The enigma of this visit to the Statue of Unity starts with its story. In 2013 kits were sent to nearly 169000 villages of India to collect soil and iro...

HORMONES IN ANIMALS

How are chemicals or stimuli used in animals as a serpent of instruction? Take some animals like squirrels. What does he experience when he is in a hostile situation? He prepares his body to fight or to flee. Both are very complex tasks that require a lot of energy to control. Many different types of different tissues are used and their aggregated (aggregated) functions come together to function. Like fighting or running, two alternating actions are very different from each other. Thus, here is a condition in which some common preparations are beneficial to the body. These preparations ideally facilitate any action in the near future. How can all this happen? If the squirrel's anatomy is based solely on electrical impulses through the neurons, the scope of the tissue ready to perform the next action will be limited. On the other hand, if even a chemical signal could be sent, it could reach all the cells of the body...

O MURDER MOST FOUL

1. “I do not have words to express myself”, I quote Rajnath Singh, speaking in the Lok Sabha, while participating in the debate held yesterday, on the murder in Hyderabad of a young lady. I am afraid I am in the same predicament. The angst and the anguish that I feel are so pronounced and deep seated that it is painful to even breathe. 2. I wonder, if my father would even have begun to imagine that is would be the state of the country, when I was brought into this world? How have we so conveniently forgotten our ‘sanskriti’, our value system that we learnt at the knees of our grandparents and our parents? How have we forgotten that ladies were respected and even venerated in the Vedic times when India was not the India of the present, but a medley of kingdoms within the geographical expanse of the sub-continent? The Veds and the Upanishads are replete with examples of women philosophers, brahmavdinis, teachers and saints. They also clearly indicate the elevated status ...

Hydroelectric plant

Another conventional source of energy is the kinetic energy of flowing water or the state energy of water at a height. In a hydro power plant, the potential energy of the falling water is converted into electrical energy. Which can be used as a source of static energy. Since the number of such water-falls is very low, hydro power plants have been associated with dams. Many dams have been built around the world in the last century. A quarter of our energy demand is supplied by hydro power plants. High dams are built on the river to collect water in large reservoirs by blocking the flow of water to generate hydroelectricity. The water level rises and in this process the kinetic energy of the flowing water is carried through the energy to the turbine at the bottom of the dam through pipes. Every time the reservoir is replenished with water due to rain (hydroelectricity is a recoverable source) Thus, we do not have to worry about the ...

A girl's sixth sense is always her best companion. I instinctively opened my eyes and saw four or five young men around me. Their drunken looks and behaviour gave me...
