Father of medicine, Sushruta was born near Bihar. In an era when the world didn't know a bit about medicine, Indian sages were masters of ayurveda. Sushrata was the first man to practice surgery, rhinoplasty or nose job, and cataract surgery.
Mathematics today owes its existence to the discovery of zero. For the purpose of calculation, it needed a short symbol. India for ages has denoted this number 'sunya' by both a dot (.) and a small circle (o). Let's look back at the journey of this magic number- the number that represents absence when placed independently, and fullness when placed among other numbers!
Ever wondered why Jantar-Mantar is named so? Jantar means "instrument", and Mantar means "formula", or in this context- "calculation". Therefore Jantar-Mantar means 'calculation instruments'. These astronomical wonders are age old observatories and have scientific as well as religious significance, since ancient Indian astronomers were also Jyotisa masters. The instruments in Jantar Mantar are the pride of our nation and a must know for every engineer!
Have you ever wondered why Indian astronomy consists of Navagrahas which has many differences with the western classification of 9 planets? Indians consider 5 nearest planets to Earth, along with Soorya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Rahu and Ketu as the 9 grahas. Earth is not considered as a graha.

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
Cautious, careful people always casting about to preserve their reputation or social standards never can bring about reform."
It was just an usual day for engineers like us.
She's been there with me when I have been lonely. On the long dark nights when I could not sleep. She was there when I felt bent and broken. She was there to sooth me, comfort me, caress me and give me peace. She has been there when I face challanges. She shows me the way. she gives me the strength to walk the right road, to take the challange, head on.. She's been there to tell me tales - of the beauty of my nation and it's people.
