For most of the modern world, the year begins on January 1st according to the Gregorian calendar. However, in the ancient Hindu tradition, the beginning of the year is marked by Hindu Nav Varsh , the start of the Vikram Samvat calendar . This day falls on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada , the first day of the bright lunar fortnight in the month of Chaitra. Hindu Nav Varsh is not just a cultural celebration; it represents a deeply scientific and spiritual understanding of time . The Hindu calendar, developed thousands of years ago by Indian astronomers and sages, is based on a lunisolar system that aligns human life with the rhythms of nature, the movement of celestial bodies, and seasonal changes. Across India, this day is celebrated in different forms such as Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra, Ugadi in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, Cheti Chand by the Sindhi community, and Navreh in Kashmir . Although the names and customs vary, the m...

Her path was marked by a relentless refusal to accept the word “no”
She dare to dream, She ignored all the scream,, She sore into space bravely, She did that think many barely,, In a world of digital noise, She ruled over her own choice,, Often think of perseverance as a grand, heroic act, It’s just the discipline to stay focused and negatives to neglect,, Kalpana Chawla, synonym to determination and velocity, Kalpana’s life reminds us that specialisation is secondary to curiosity,, Kalpana quoted courage isn't the absence of fear, It's the decision that drives the efforts with gear,, "The path from dreams to success does exist. May you have the vision to find it, the courage to get on to it, and the perseverance to follow it.” — Kalpana Chawla

Born into a marginalized community, he defied the shackles of caste and societal expectations to emerge as a beacon of hope for millions.

He made people to dream a flight that won't disturbs the pocket
Capt Gopinath launched India's first budget airline in 2003 In the summer of 2005, retired army officer-turned-businessman GR Gopinath announced that he would enable Indians to fly at one rupee or less than a cent. It was an incredulous sales pitch from the founder of the country's first budget airline. Air Deccan, his then two-year-old no-frills airline modelled on European budget carriers like EasyJet and Ryanair, had already made flying affordable to millions of Indians. Capt Gopinath's tickets cost half of what competitors charged. Now his airline introduced "dynamic pricing" where a small number of "early bird" customers could travel at a rupee. Latecomers would pay a higher ticket price, which would still be substantially lower than competitors. Not surprisingly, booking counters were overrun with customers, many of them first-time fliers. Critics howled such pricing methods would wreck the industry. "The one rupee ticket fired the imagination...
