अल्बर्ट आइंस्टीन और रबीन्द्रनाथ टैगोर... इतिहास के दो ऐसे बुद्धिजीवी जिनका दिमाग़ चलता नहीं, बल्कि दौड़ता था। आइंस्टीन विज्ञान में माहिर थे,तो रबीन्द्रनाथ टैगोर साहित्य में। दोनों अपने-अपने क्षेत्र के महारथी!!दोनों नोबेल पुरुस्कार विजेताओं के मन में एक दूसरे Image
के विचारों के प्रति गहन सम्मान था। यह इसी बात से पता चलता है कि आइंस्टीन टैगोर को ‘रब्बी’ (शिक्षक के लिए इस्तेमाल होने वाला हेब्रू भाषा का शब्द) के नाम से सम्बोधित करते थे।
यही कारण है कि 14 जुलाई 1930 को आइंस्टीन के बर्लिन निवास में उनकी बैठक के दौरान हुई बातचीत को इतिहास में
'सबसे उत्तेजक और बौद्धिक रूप से उत्साही चर्चाओं' में से एक माना गया। इन दोनों की यह बात-चीत जल्दी ही उस दौर की मीडिया में सनसनी बन गयी थी। कई प्रकाशनों के पास इसकी रिकॉर्डिंग भी थी। द न्यूयॉर्क टाइम्स ने 'आइंस्टीन और टैगोर प्लंब द ट्रुथ' शीर्षक के साथ एक लेख लिखा

#BirthAnniversary #SwamiVivekananda
The year was 1893. A young monk from India opened the World’s Parliament of Religions with an electrifying speech that brought the assembled representatives of the world’s major faiths to their feet. Image
The monk was Vivekananda, who had come to Chicago without a formal connection to the parliament but nonetheless managed to secure an invitation to give not only an opening address but several more speeches.
More than 6,000 people crowded into the assembly hall of the Permanent Memorial Art Palace, now the Art Institute of Chicago, to hear the young man speak.

Passionately and eloquently, Vivekananda called for the end of religious bigotry and intolerance.

When you look back at things, they become clearer than when they actually happened. Irrfan always said, "You have a tendency to support the underdog, and hence we are together."⁠⁠

But now when the fog has cleared, and I can see everything without conditioning, I know it was destiny. We were meant to be together.⁠

It was a hot summer afternoon in Delhi when I saw him for the first time.
A lanky, bespeckled young man in a black terry-cotton bellbottom and a light green printed shirt, with a leather sling bag from Rajasthan, walking towards the NSD lobby.⁠

He was definitely not my type.

(1/9)#BirthAnniversary
25 दिसंबर 1861 को उत्तर प्रदेश के इलाहाबाद (अब प्रयागराज) में एक पंडित परिवार में मदन मोहन मालवीय का जन्म हुआ। उन्होंने अपना उपनाम ‘चतुर्वेदी’ से बदलकर ‘मालवीय’ रख लिया, क्योंकि उनके पूर्वज मालवा से इलाहाबाद आए थे।
(2/9)मालवीय ने भारत में शिक्षा के स्तर को ऊँचा उठाने और समाज में सुधार लाने की दिशा में अनेकों काम किए। क्योंकि कहीं न कहीं उन्हें पता था कि जब तक भारतीय, शिक्षित नहीं होंगे और उन्हें समझ नहीं होगी कि स्वतंत्रता के असल मायने क्या हैं?
(3/9)तब तक भारतीय स्वतंत्रता संग्राम को वह गति नहीं मिलेगी, जो मिलनी चाहिए। इसके अलावा, उनकी सोच यह भी थी कि उन्हें युवाओं को स्वतंत्र भारत के लिए तैयार करना है, ताकि उन्हें पता हो कि उन्हें कैसे अपने देश के सर्वांगीण विकास में साथ देना है।

In 1904, Ramanujan left high school; his future looked promising: he had won the school’s mathematics prize.

#NationalMathematicsDay #IndianMathematician #MathWizard #History #BirthAnniversary #SrinivasRamanujan
And, more importantly, a scholarship allowing him to study at the Government Arts College in the town of Kumbakonam.

Despite being a mathematical prodigy, Ramanujan's career did not begin well.
He received a college scholarship in 1904, but he quickly lost it by failing in non-mathematical subjects because of his strong inclination towards mathematics.

The world has only now started to admire the genius of a man who, despite having no formal training in pure mathematics, made substantial contributions to mathematics. ⁠
#NationalMathematicsDay
India's greatest mathematical genius, Srinivasa Ramanujan, lived a short but very productive life and continues to be an inspiration for mathematicians across the world, and his work has inspired a lot of research over the years.
The Better India pays homage to this special man with 5 little-known facts about his life.⁠

- Ramanujan was one of several siblings, but he lost all of them to a smallpox epidemic in 1889.

#MilkmanofIndia #BirthAnniversary
On an early May morning in 1949, 27-year-old #VergheseKurien landed in Gujarat's Anand to work as superintendent of a run-down government creamery on a monthly salary of Rs 275. Image
It was in Anand that Kurien encountered the man who changed his life: Tribhuvandas Kishibhai Patel.⁠

The latter had, in late 1946, organised a cooperative for marketing the milk of farmers in Kheda district.
However, the cooperative struggled without proper processing facilities to prevent the milk from curdling when it reached Mumbai. ⁠

So Patel leased a part of the government creamery for the cooperative’s use.⁠

At a very young age, Surendranath Banerjee cleared the British-instituted #IndianCivilService examinations but was dismissed due to racial discrimination. He whipped up a strong protest against this.

#BirthAnniversary #SurendranathBanerjee #History #FreedomFighters #India Image
In 1868, after graduating from the University of Calcutta, he travelled to England along with Romesh Chunder Dutt and Behari Lal Gupta to appear for the ICS exams. Though he passed the exam in 1869, he was dismissed because of a dispute over his proper age.
After this matter was sorted out in a court of law, Banerjee reappeared for the exam and again cleared it in 1871. He was appointed as the assistant magistrate in Sylhet but was chucked out due to racial discrimination.

"Every writer has his own theory, method and practice of developing his art, just like every doctor has a different way of arriving at a diagnosis.

It is the academics who tend to generalise, professors who think that literature must be carefully boxed and labelled.

Malgudi was an earth-shaking discovery because I had no mind for facts and things like that, which would be necessary in writing about Malgudi or any real place."

(1/6)हिंदी साहित्य में अगर किसी कवि को लोककवि होने का दर्जा प्राप्त है तो वह हैं बाबा नागार्जुन!
नागार्जुन का जन्म 30 जून, 1911 को हुआ था। वह प्रगतिवादी विचारधारा के लेखक और कवि थे। नागार्जुन ने 1945 ई. के आसपास साहित्य क्षेत्र में क़दम रखा। Image
(2/6)उनका असली नाम वैद्यनाथ मिश्र था, पर हिन्दी साहित्य में उन्होंने 'नागार्जुन' तथा मैथिली में 'यात्री' उपनाम से रचनाओं का सृजन किया।
नागार्जुन की कविताओं को उनके समय और जीवन की डायरी के रूप में भी देखा जा सकता है। उनके काल की शायद ही कोई महत्वपूर्ण राजनैतिक और
(3/6)सामाजिक घटना होगी, जिसे उनकी कविता में स्थान न मिला हो।

ऐसी ही एक मर्मस्पर्शी कविता है -

'गुलाबी चूड़ियां'

प्राइवेट बस का ड्राइवर है तो क्या हुआ,
सात साल की बच्ची का पिता तो है!
सामने गियर से उपर
हुक से लटका रक्खी हैं
काँच की चार चूड़ियाँ गुलाबी

(1/17)30 दिसंबर, 1930 को डॉ. भीमराव आंबेडकर ने लंदन से रमाबाई को एक पत्र लिखा था, उसी पत्र का सम्पादित संपादित अंश।

रमा! कैसी हो रमा तुम?
तुम्हारी और यशवंत की आज मुझे बहुत याद आई। तुम्हारी यादों से मन बहुत ही उदास हो गया है। मेरी बौद्धिक ताकत बहुत ही प्रबल बन गई है।
(2/17)शायद मन में बहुत सारी बातें उमड़ रही हैं। हृदय बहुत ही भाव प्रवण हो गया है। मन बहुत ही विचलित हो गया है और घर की, तुम सबकी बहुत यादआ रही है। तुम्हारी यादआ रही है। यशवंत की याद आ रही है। मुझे तुम जहाज पर छोड़ने आयी थी। मैं मना कर रहा था। फिर भी तुम्हारा मन नही माना।

During a significant project of DRDO, the work pressure was high. A scientist approached his boss – & asked to leave early that day considering he had promised his children to take them to an exhibition.

Boss generously granted permission, the scientist got back to work. 1/3
When he did, he lost the track of time & forgot to leave early. He reached home, feeling guilty, looked for his kids, but could only find his wife.

He asked for kids, and to his surprise she told him: “your manager was here around 5:15 and he took kids for exhibition!”. 2/3
Apparently, Boss had been observing the scientist and noticed that he might never realise he had to go home. Feeling for the kids, he decided to take the kids in his stead.

Boss was none other than APJ Abdul Kalam.
