  Railways are the nation’s favorite long-distance commuter. It is very affordable and I have been traveling by train from time immemorial. Railways have always felt welcome. My most memorable journey was along a route I travel very often. The Anuppur-Ambikapur route has some really obscure railway stations of Chhattisgarh. I was travelling to my grandparents’ place. What made this journey memorable was its timing. We usually travelled at night. But this time, it was a day run. The journey was simply amazing. The route cuts through hilly areas. With numerous tunnels, bridges and a little brook here and there, the journey was a feast for my eyes. The stations and the people were a completely different story. Ever heard of a junction that doesn’t sell tickets, visit Boridand. Or a station that provides tickets on small yellow hard-paper cards, visit Nagpur Rd. The Chhattisgarhi people are quiet, but you feel the hidden energy in them when you approach a station. The language they speak

  The book ‘Third Class in Indian Railways’ written by M.K Gandhi is a series of short monologues to the educated class of pre-independence India. Gandhiji understands the fact that without the support of the educated class the dream of swaraj can never be achieved. The highly structured step by step manner by which different situations are explained is deeply appreciated. The first chapter enlightens the addresses about the problem. Gandhiji gives an example of 3 rd class railway travelling to show the indifference English sahib’s have towards the general Indian public. The second chapter provides us with the breaking point of Indian unification. Gandhiji presents the importance of languages by giving various examples from around the world. The third and fourth chapters describe the process towards the goal. Gandhiji has carefully explained how absorbing the practices of Swadeshi and Ahimsa. One can achieve the ultimate goal. He also takes special care to address the misconceptio

Wishing everyone a secure and a non-violent future on this memorable day, happy Gandhi Jayanti to all of you.. Taking account the growing unrest among the people due to the pandemic situation, the various battles taking place, and various nations on the brink of war, there will not be a better time to remember what the Mahatma had imparted to the world almost a century ago.                 Most of us know about this personality very well.Good readers have surely read his autobiography, which goes by the name  'My Experiments with Truth '. Gandhiji used truth and non-violence as his weapons to conquer what he wanted to. It is a well known saying that, 'If you are good at something today, someone else will be better than you tomorrow' . Same applies to weaponry, technology and the practice of truth and non-violence alike. The only difference is that there would be no harm to any living being on the planet, it we keep excelling in our use of these Gan dhian Facilities .

 The mere fact that we are all connected  in this event makes me feel so elated and motivated to express my thoughts on this unconventional  yet eventful day today. Good Morning and a very happy Teacher's Day to all.                           A teacher is someone who teaches, and mind you, it is not just academics. Not everyone can be a teacher, because despite everything what a teacher teaches first is the way of life.               Though teachers day is globally celebrated on 5th October, in India we celebrate it on 5th of September, to commemorate the birth anniversary of Dr. S Radhakrishnan , the second president of Republic of india and a profound teacher himself. He believed that "children are the future of the nation and it is only in the teachers hands that could shape it".                                     It is well said that "Adversity shows one's potential". These crucial times had their unique problems. We had to change our methods, increase

Francis Baker once said, that "Knowledge Is Power" . That was about 400 years ago. But is knowledge still power? I say yes. And through sharing of such knowledge we have become so powerful and developed powerful machines. One of the recent breakthroughs is AI. It is a program that learns by different means, remembers it, and uses it the next time at performs a task; much like experience of humans. Development of AI is very necessary for human kind. If we are to further develop or at least maintain the current standard of living, we need development of artificial intelligence . Simply think of a software which does not need to be updated, it runs by itself and with time, works better. Now many people disregard the development of artificial intelligence, posing it as an eventual threat to humankind and its existence.  The statement is simply foundation less. AI does not hinder human's cognitive abilities, instead it invites more and more people for competitive abilities.

The killing of Gen Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Quds force, represents a dramatic escalation in the low-level conflict between the US and Iran and one whose consequences could be considerable. Retaliation is to be expected. A chain of action and reprisal could ensue bringing the two countries closer to a direct confrontation. Washington's future in Iraq could well be called into question. And President Trump's strategy for the region - if there is one - will be tested like never before. Philip Gordon, who was White House co-ordinator for the Middle East and the Persian Gulf in the Obama administration, described the killing as little short of a "declaration of war" by the Americans against Iran.The Quds Force is the branch of Iran's security forces responsible for operations abroad. For years, whether it be in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria or elsewhere, Soleimani has been a key instigator in expanding and extending Iran's influen
