Bibha Chowdhuri: Faded from history A Woman with No Recognition :- A Jewel Unearthed, Bibha Chowdhury

-
Described in her own biography as “a forgotten heroine of Indian science,” Bibha Chowdhuri was, until recently, often overlooked for her accomplishments. From missing the chance to win a Nobel Prize due to a lack of resources to having her work on a project erased while her colleagues received national attention for theirs, the first woman Particle Physicist in India deserved more than anyone gave her credit for. Born to Break Barriers Bibha Chowdhuri was born in 1913 in Kolkata, India. While her family was progressive and valued education, the rest of their society did not: women who pursued an education were rare, and those who did were highly discouraged. Chowdhuri stayed in Kolkata to continue her schooling and earned her Bachelor of Science in Physics with Honors from Scottish Church College and her Masters from Calcutta University. She was the only woman in her class.Upon earning her Masters, Chowdhuri was just the third woman to have ever received a postgraduate degree in physic...

यतो यतो निश्चरति मनश्चञ्चलमस्थिरम्। ततस्ततो नियम्यैतदात्मन्येव वशं नयेत्॥ Bhagavad Gita shloka of the day to ground scattered ene “Wherever the restless, unsteady mind wander draw it back again and again and bring it under the control of the Self.”This verse comes from Chapter 6, traditionally known as Dhyāna Yoga or the chapter on meditation and inner discipline. In this section, Krishna speaks to Arjuna about the mechanics of mental steadiness: posture, moderation, self-observation, and the patient work of returning attention when it slips away. The tone is strikingly practical. Rather than presenting calm as mystical or effortless, the Gita treats it as a skill shaped through repetition, humility, and persistence. Verse 6.26 sits in the middle of that discussion, addressing one of the most familiar human problems: the mind’s tendency to roam. Krishna does not scold the wandering mind. He simply describes it, “restless” and “unstable” and then offers a method that is almost deceptive...

Path to attain the spiritual consciousness

-
उद्धरेदात्मनाऽत्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत्। आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः॥ - Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6, Verse 5 Where this verse appears This line comes from the sixth chapter, where Krishna turns the conversation toward inner discipline, meditation, and the work of steadying the self. After laying out how action, devotion, and knowledge intertwine, he focuses here on something quieter but more fundamental: the relationship a person has with their own inner life. Chapter 6 delves into the concept of establishing a sense of inner calm and composure amidst the chaos and restlessness that often characterizes our modern world. It is crucial to clarify that the focus here is not on completely abandoning our daily obligations and responsibilities; rather, it is about fostering a deep and resilient inner disposition that can withstand the various pressures and challenges life presents. When we turn to verse 5, we find it serves as a succinct yet powerful piece of spiritual guidance. Thi...

Bina Das - Erased from history the courageous freedom fighter

-
Bina Das is one such notable figure among Indian revolutionaries, such as Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad, and Rajguru, who fought fiercely against the British Raj for India’s freedom. Today, India is celebrating its 79th Independence Day. This is very common among the masses to be aware of the men revolutionaries, but in the context of women, except for some, most people don’t even know about the women revolutionaries, like Bina Das and others. Many women revolutionaries, such as Kalpana Dutta, Preetilata Wadekar, Suniti Chaudhry, etc., have been equally active during the freedom movements, like other leaders. Bina Das was one such young revolutionary from Bengal who fought against the British Raj. As per the Zubaan published book  Bina   Das :  A   Memoir , Bina Das’s involvement was in the shooting of the British Governor of Bengal, Stanley Jackson, at the Annual Convocation Meeting of Calcutta University in 1932.

Indians are weak and inactive, racism gone wild.

-
Recent video on social media proved that tug of war between Indian elderly women and same age foreign women, favors the foreign women and later won the match. Elevating the racism that Indians are weak and are born to be slaves. This suddenly erupts anger among Indians but if analysed properly there are areas that needs every Indians keen attention.  India is a capital of diabetic and obesity population. The same country which is rich in agriculture crops, abundantly producing horticulture and rich source of dairy products. India is blessed with the best that nature can bestow yet India is home to majority of unhealthy population of world being so prosperous. Offcourse pollution and adulterations are worth mentioning. While beyond these two man made problems, one major fungus is developing among Indians is laziness. In the name of luxury and show offs, we Indians forget our basics. Indians inactiveness is building unbreakable and robust hurdles that are not convenient to continue t...

Patriotism should not be limited to national festivals or sharing status and memes. It should be beyond just posts because no nation is perfect without its population. Utmost disappointing is that we do remember our fundamental rights but usually forget our responsibilities. Desh perfect ni hota bnana pdta hai. With firm belief and honesty, today as a responsible citizens, pledge to act for the betterment of our beloved nation  1. Civic Sense - it's mere common sense, yet we Indians lack civic sense to major extent. Just following the basic manners, we can make our country clean, hygienic, and respectful. Our rivers, lakes, roads, bus stops, railway station etc are full of trash, obviously bureaucrats are responsible for not managing properly but how can we escape from littering everywhere, spitting at every corner and robbing the public properties. High time to relearn civics sense to make country worth living.  2. Bye bye to colonial mindset - irony is we are celebrating 77t...
