A friend of mine was looking for a nice school for his kid. I did not but I wanted to request him to the following:

Tell your child the stories of this soil..

Take him to temples of India

Take him to Jallianwala bagh..

Before he asks, put some soil on his forehead and let him bow into the well. Let him hold the wall which has holes of 303 bullets!

Take your child to India Gate.. But do not forget to show him the Kargil Memorial..

When you take him to the Gateway of India, tell him the tales of those who braved the bullet to upkeep the honour.

As the year is coming towards an end, let's look back at one of most inspiring events of the year. In July, when Mumbai city was sadly shaken by a series of bomb blasts, citizens resorted on technology to provide and seek help. People realized that phone networks were jammed, and there was no way to reach anyone over phones.

On 26th Novermber 2008, Mumbai was witness to a massive terrorist attack that led to the tragic loss of many innocent lives. Let’s take a few minutes out of our ever so busy schedules to remember the pain and suffering of those people. Let’s not forget the great heroism shown and sacrifices made by people from the defence, NSG and the police to ensure that the damage to civilians was kept at a minimum. 

It has been 27 years since that fateful night. Bhopal sadly suffers till date. Let’s relate to the pain of our fellow countrymen and give them the comfort of our shoulders to rest upon. Let’s Remember Bhopal today... 

Is the hightech mobile blood bus (acting as mobile blood bank) proving to be a white elephant for the Banaras Hindu University? Till date, the bus has not moved out of the BHU campus and the coverage of blood donation campaigns have been restricted to the varsity campus only.

Artificial blood may become a common reality, thanks to the first successful transfusion of lab-grown blood into a human. A team of doctors at the Pierre and Marie Curie University, Paris, extracted hematopoietic stem cells from a volunteer’s bone marrow, and encouraged these cells to grow into red blood cells with a cocktail of growth factors.
