The First ONE

-

This number ‘one’ does not leave you untill you grow old enough to
 understand the meaning of ‘one’ you’ll see how….


As soon as you are born,
You are the first baby of your parents
There comes the first ‘one’,
And now the list is endless…
Your first smile is so precious!
Oh!!, I forgot the first cry, that is so important!!
Your first grip onto your mother’s finger
You steal her heart that instant!


Your first expression is so awited for. 
Your first crawl makes you so happy,
Your first walk is then just around the corner!!
Though,
Your first word does not come before your first BIRTHDAY,
But it is your first party!!!
And you don’t mind at all
With so much else to enjoy!!
Wish you a very happy FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!






-written for the first birthday of my nephew Adwait.

When The Buddha Smiled on India...

On 12 th October 1973, David Davies- a geophysicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who worked on seismic detection of underground nuclear tests- predicted that India would be the sixth country to conduct nuclear weapon tests. After 7 months he was proven correct by the ingenuity of Indian scientists and the fortitude of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Canada sold a 40 megawatt Canadian-Indian Reactor, U.S. (CIRUS) to India in 1956. India had the necessary manpower and capacity to develop and test a nuclear weapon. The heavy water needed to control Nuclear Fission had been provided by the US. So what made India abstain from performing the nuclear test and from becoming the first Nuclear Power? It is probably the chaste intention to maintain a mellow camaraderie with the other countries or a mere lack of grit in the Indian leadership. Meanwhile India refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty in 1970.  When questioned over it, our ambassador ...

Do you know what a breathalyzer is? The device that cops use to estimate whether a driver is drunk or not. Yes that one in which you breath into the device and it tells you whether you have had alcohol. Well, if there were a breathalyzer to detect the level of stress in a person at a certain point of time we would all be taking the test. It would become a household commodity like the weighing scale. People would measure stress every morning before leaving home and every night before sleeping. Psychiatrists and Psychologists would make you take the test before they call you in for an appointment. Now imagine if this device could measure the stress according to the category of stress - the alcohol analogy would be: measuring the alcohol content by the type of alcohol; how much whisky, how much beer, how much wine and how much vodka has been consumed? Take -stress due to family issues, stress due to social issues, stress due to personal issues, stress due to workplace issues and so on.....
