Mission on Space

It was the last Thursday (Oct4.) when it was fifty years ago, the later ten years after India’s independence; even most of us today wouldn’t born, the tick sound of countdown across the world awake to this globe shaped Sputnik. The first step in the space history, science and technology and the everyday usage of humans, the first artificial satellite Sputnik launched on space by the then Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. Visible out of this world gravity, climbing in the atmosphere and into the orbit, it crosses the first-foot into a new point of human experience.

It was the time of fear and division in which the two power nations the Soviet Union and the US stared each other down in a threat of mass destruction at Cold War. Sputnik altered the nature and scope of the Cold war. A simple sphere weighting just 83kg and0.6 meter wide, it had a highly shiny surface of aluminium, the better to reflect sunlight and be visible from earth. Two radio transmitters with antennas starts sending signals frequently that the scientists could pick up and so confirm the achievement. The Russians clearly intended Sputnik as a statement of their technological brave and its military implications. But even they, it seems, had not foreseen the frenzied response their success provoked.

At that time the junior senator from Massachusetts John F.Kennedy with no particular interest in space and unheralded Russian Pilot Yuri A. Gagarin, the record setter for the fastest transcontinental jet fighter from New York to Los Angeles and the marine corps pilot John H.Glenn Jr with Neil A. Armstrong who was testing high performance aircraft in the California desert couldn’t think their lives were to change soon as were there are thousands of technicians, engineers everywhere. The Apollo 8 astronauts were the first to circle the moon in December 1968 where they had a very pleasant watch of earth with blue and green under swirls of clouds. It was a great gift for them at the time of confusion and despair in the year of rioting cities and a war.

Then it was Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969, Armstrong stepped down from the landing craft’s ladder and took a great leap where Aldrin joined him for the first walk on the moon. In the contrast of explorations, the world watching on television. By the end of 1972, the last of the 12 men to walk on the moon packed up and returned home. Since the landing on the moon, the Americans and Russians craft have explored Venus and US vehicles has landed on Mars for much times and a European capsule reached the surfaces of Saturn’s moon titan. The Voyager spacecraft are now approaching the edge of the solar system and the Hubble Space Telescope still sends images from deep in cosmic time.

Now where in India, the Indian space men’s are planning a manned mission to orbit the moon in 2015 after seven years of Chandrayaan-1 that would blast off on India’s first moon mission next month and Chandrayaan-2 in 2010.

My voice on politics

"Nothing wrong in putting down (nuclear deal) temporarily to save the money, time and go-ahead the govt. instead of losing to there (Left) tenet": On the India-US Nuclear deal, that was burning between ruling govt. and its supported party, whom were very straight against US.

"If you can resign and call for a fresh election, why not to leave it to your partner as per your conscience. A true service man no need a post, if you were not true why u chose this carrier": on Karnataka chief minister who resigned his post and were the President Rule kept when his partners withdraw from the alliance when he lost to accept the agreement to share the government after twenty month.

Be away and see they live

Humans and animals are the lives that shares earth equally; somewhere human population is less than animals both in the land and water. Human is also an animal who could thing and act and felt to understand, even thought some animals do and not that like humans. What human do is he tries to take over animals place and there life for his life to move. Today it stands for where the animal’s population is dropping and the cruelty acts on them increases. While celebrating the World animals week from October 4 – 10, its time for every one to think about animals, there security, the changes on living and support to stop the activates against them, esp. from humans. Who won’t like pet animals the cat dog… in animals too there are rich and stray dogs, where the rich ones were brought from shelters, but there would lots of dogs wandering on the streets with no care at all, even they die. We can’t blame people for this, but this can be solved with the support of people with NGO’s and govt.

Coming to our state Tamil nadu we hold a traditional festival of jalikattu (bull catch), where hundreds of people crowded to catch the bulls to show there heroism and get money. When this was conducted the bulls were sent to hard stress by the owners and catches where they put their whole strength to stop bulls by beating and pulling their tails. Traditions should taught good for the generations, not the cruel and harm history, nothing wrong in leaving that tradition that violate the kind.

Sanctuaries are where we could learn about animals alive, where today most of us see them behind the cages at Zoo. What matters is how we behave. What we practice always comes out automatically and it damages the lives of animals. One thing we must keep in mind is not to throw any artificial things on the sanctuaries or at animals. These activates create pollution threat to the nature and as well animals, where in case that would be a plastic, could harm the animals health and the colorful things attracts them mistakenly as food.

We know forest is the free place with no rules for animals, live like how the nature made them, but we stop them and force rules for our comfort. We hear news’s often where the animals enter village and threaten people, destroy fields and banana groves. Are we sure they enter our place or we entered there’s. Tiger, lion, elephants are dangers animals for us, only we both meet. They are not coming in search of us, only we human go and disturb and create problem for them and human. Taking survey yearly once or for years once is not going to do with increasing or reducing the animals, there must be proper action take place. If we not even take any action, it could handle there life itself if we don`t disturb them.

This is an important problem leading for years is the poaching animals. Where in India the tigers, lions, musk deer’s and elephants where most hutted illegally by gangs for there skins, bones for cosmetic, medicines, food and elephants tusk for ivory. Most of the poaching happens in pointing the southeastern countries where the people use more animal’s organs. Nowadays these animals have been found little in forests where in some forest there species itself lost. Recent a study in one of the forest in south Tamil nadu famous for tigers made a report it has no tigers. Sea hunting the global problem carries different aims, one to catch fishes for food that in the limited sea area and on what to catch, but illegal hunting take place somewhere that kills species for money. How they hunt them shocks actually where most are whales and dolphins. You can get some ten ways to make the world better for animals here.

I could find news for last two days on animals security and how far the animals where affected and what media was doing is really good, but it should not stopped by the end of the week. Today most of us watch television and almost every one own a TV at home in India and the media plays an important role in aware of people, where if they give little space for the animals need and what unnecessary from people could improve the situation.

Great brothers

“Don’t leave any terrorist to escape” these are the last words said by the major D.R.Raman of Chennai who lose his life in the gun-battle with terrorists at Tangmarg area of North Kashmir on third October. Another army major K.P. Vinay was also died in the battle. D.R.Raman and K.P.Vinay are friends from the time of learning in Army campus and working so close in army. The didn’t die just to die, they destroyed nine terrorist before falling; that too Raman lost life went to save his injured friend. It’s the fire between terrorist and army; actually it’s the love between Vinay and Raman that took away both of them at same from us. Vinay was to be a bride-groom this month end and he was distributing the invitation to all till before the day he was killed and Raman was newly wed and was to hold a child in few months.

I was touched by this when knowing through paper. We not even know there face, they may be one in the thousands, but they lost there life for our security. When I was thinking, I felt they are very special to us, as any one would really be ready to leave there life for others, but what they did for country is a best service in all. Even at the stage of fighting for life, Raman has encourages his other colleagues showing his hand to the winning mark and voiced in brave do not leave any one. The loss is not for there family or for Kashmir, its nation’s loss. The every step by soldiers at every corner of the boarders and inland is prevention for big happening strikes for our lives. A true sacrifice for them to there mother country, we keep on saluting and respecting their unexpected and reasoned loss.

The four day account

Some movements on last four day with weekend went fine for me; hope u all had a wonderful time too. Day one had to experience a delight evening, where a plan whether to go or not to the beach and at last went to the shore that was empty. The cyclone situation above and over the bay of Bengal, where the deep dark clouds surrounds and wishing for a heavy pore, that only last for few minutes in heavy drops. It was not a normal Saturday beach where to sight the cricketers, children’s on sand with little walkers. Sometimes i wish for simple things like to have a walk holding the umbrella what dad had some walk on the evening. I was listing to radio one just feeling the weather; there was a fun program on live where the dialers gave opportunity to scold whom they want. It’s a good laugh for me and as well to mom sitting in back seat.

Sunday was to spent more times on entertainment box, the continue of programs the laziness to glance the news papers even though did to know whom are all was to participate in the Monday bandh. It clears that it will have 80% strike throughout state, but it didn’t extend, the afternoon flashes the bandh was canceled by Supreme Court and only hunger strike by ruling party. Though it was not arranged by government, the employs of govt. must to attend the office on oct 1 and dad was to go. There was no bus running, the stands without buses, where they put on strike individually and dad was dropped by brother. When I was looking, there was none, but surprisingly one of my cousin bro visited home on Monday, I was really felt happy for his visit. First I teased him, who are u, where have u come, mistakenly have u entered here instead of some other house?... but I have thanked at least now he thought to spent with me.

I distant all of my other works and make sure I haven’t lost interest him to spend with me. Both watched movies, played carom board, laughed, pass comments and enjoyed the movements. Had lunch and dinner, he slept beside me and both engaged with conversation till late night, played games on computer, browsed net and it was a day fully with him. Except weekend beach, nothing going out where our grandma was not well with health so I didn’t force dad to take me. I hope from the night of September that the October would be a good doing month and carry changes for me, as per what happening feels somehow satisfaction. My power wheels have some problems in moving so it creates little troubles the movement free. There is so much to type to finish the work and being away for last few days that stored more, so have to over spend time on it and couldn’t post or find time to visit many buddy’s blog. Want to share my days to know the dears here what happens. I apologies and would check u all soon.
