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...

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...

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.
