         HOCKEY KA JAADUGHAR
                                              -DHYAN CHAND

India’s National Sports Day is observed on the birthday of Dhyan Chand, 

Dhyan Chand

nicknamed the ‘Wizard of Hockey’. He was born Dhyan Singh.  He joined the Indian Army at the age of 16. The Hindi word Chand literally means the moon. Since Dhyan Singh used to practice a lot during night after his duty hours, he invariably used to wait for the moon to come out so that the visibility in the field (during his era there were no flood lights) improved. Hence he was called “Chand” by his fellow players, as his practice sessions at night invariably coincided with the coming out from the moon.

In the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Dhyan Chand, who was the captain of the Indian Hockey team, had the distinction of scoring 11 out of 38 goals scored by his side. Adolf Hitler, the Fuhrer, was very impressed by Dhyan Chand’s performance in the final, where India whipped Germany 8-1 in front of 40,000 peoples. At a dinner party after the final, Hitler offered to elevate Dhyan Chand to the rank of a Colonel if he migrated to Germany. Ever the patriot, Dhyan Chand turned down the offer.

 At the tour of hockey tournment at united states, India had played 37 matches, winning 34, drawing 2, with one abandoned. Chand scored 133 of the 338 Indian goals.In Indian language he is known as Hockey ka jaadugar that means magician of the hockey game. It is said he used to practice on railway track and what he do is he keeps the ball on one of the track and keep playing it up to 1 to 2 km without letting it to be fallen. 

India’s highest award for lifetime achievement in sports is the Dhyan Chand Award, which has been awarded annually from 2002 and it is the highest award in sports. he achieved many awards and many honors. He MADE A RECORD OF 1000 GOALS career, from 1926 to 1948.

In 1956, at the age of 51, he retired from the army with the rank of Major. After he retired he coached for a while and later settled in Jhansi. However, the last days of Dhyan Chand were not very happy, as he was short of money and was badly ignored by the nation. Once he went to a tournament in Ahmedabad and they turned him away not knowing who he was. He developed liver cancer, and was sent to a general ward at the AIIMS, New Delhi, where he died on 3 December 1979.

        In honour to his trenched sportsmanship in hockey the national stadium at delhi was renamed as           DHYAN CHAND NATIONAL STADIUM by indian govt. in 2002 . And a statue was laid at                  jhansi as legendary memory  of an Indian chand. 

        In my view he should be given BHARATHA RATNA for his hard work for hockey tough he is          no more here.

STATUE AT JHANSI

Wheels within wheels- INDIA TODAY

INDIA'S infant scooter industry is pitched against the big league giants in the world market. It is up against companies like Honda of Japan , which makes some of the world's best motorcycles, and Piaggio of Italy which makes the famous vespa scooter.

V98- VESPA FIRST MODEL 1946-48

                                                                        Bajaj, the largest manufacturers of scooters in the country, which has sold most of its two-wheel scooters abroad, is now collaborating with firms in Indonesia and Taiwan for making scooters. Bajaj went into the scooter business 16 years ago, establishing a factory near Pune with Piaggio's help. Now, Bajaj and Piaggio are fighting for share of the world demand for two-wheelers.

                                                                         Even scooters india ltd, a public sector company which bought the Italian company Innocenti's used plant and machinery and set up a factory near lucknow's Amausi airport, has begun exporting with in two years of making the first scooter.

                                                                          Scooter India's exports are the modest. It sold 50 scooters at 400 dollars apiece to the UK last year and has received a repeat order. A few scooters have been sold in Singapore and Colombia in South America.
                                                   

5th MODE OF TRANSPORT -PRINCIPLE OF HYPERLOOP

we know basically 4 modes of transportation viz.. road , rail , waterways and air....but here is some astonishing thing that pierced the brain of Sir Elon Musk that why should we have 5th and the fastest mode of transportation? this rouse the idea of HYPERLOOP . Here is that intresting excerpt ........

Sir Elon Musk

“CONCEPT OF HYPERLOOP”

A Hyperloop is a theatrical mode of transportation designed by Sir Elon Musk .His basic idea was to create a fifth mode of transportation (airways, boats, trains, automobiles are the four modes).This idea could bring a revolution in the field of transportation .But of course implementing this idea

would cost about 6 billion US$   The main theme of this concept is provide super-fast and super-efficient transportation in efficient time between two stations.

Let us see the understand the principle behind this concept.

Actually this Hyperloop is said as the extension of Vactrain concept. The main base idea for implementing this concept is to control the air resistance and friction. Actually air resistance and friction are the two major components for a transport to succeed.

So to gain control over these Vactrain concept has been introduced.But implementing this concept in real world is impossible. So a new theory based upon the Vactrain concept has been introduced by Sir Elon Musk. He made changes to apply this concept in the real world applications.

So he kept this concept as an OPEN SOURCE PROJECT. This project is the first open source project in the field of transportation.

If this Hyperloop concept has been implemented into practice it would bring a whole new revolution in the field of transport. so this is the ideology has been open sourced.

WHERE THE "BELL" FROM??

               The bell was invented in the c.3000 B.C.E ( B.C.E- BEFORE THE COMMON ERA Which is exactly what is B.C- BEFORE CHRIST but has nothing to do with christianity ) by ANCIENT CHINESE who were technologically and culturally advanced between 3950 and 1700 B.C.E. 
                 The people of YANG-SAHO culture farmed pigs,grew wheat and millet, made highly specialized tools and painted pottery. they also produced pottery instrument called LINGS, which became the first TUNED BELLS.  One of the earliest examples of these clay bells is a small red ling uncovered at an excavation site in the province of central china.

lings

          
                        Later, during SHANG AND ZHOU Dynasties, the chinese made bells from metal and decorated them with intricate designs. Bells came to play an important role in their culture by the fifth century B.C.E, when sets of bronze bells were used in the ritual ceremonies accompaniment.Large clapperless bells known as ZONG were sometimes struck with mallets. it is said that these represented the sound of the AUTUMN EQUINOX ,when all the crops had been harvested- in chinese the world ZHONG means "bell" but also "cultivated" when pronounced slightly differently.

hand bells

             During the QIN DYNASTY, in the second century B.C.E, the bell became a symbol of power and authority following the installation of six large bells at the imperial court. In modern China, the bell has a different meaning; EDUCATION AND WORSHIP.

            Today in the western world, the bell is used both functionally and symbolically.Bell chimes tell us of the time of the day, but are also associated with the church and traditional celebrations such as christmas  and weddings . Hand bells are still played by members of the church community and in schools as a part of music education. There are even examples of the bells being used in the music therapy in retirement homes and hospitals.

KNOW YOUR CITY...SECUNDERABAD
 Actually, HISTORY- The lovely subject which i love most, every one knowingly or unknowingly reads or go through the history to know what was the past. it's quite interesting too. I love much to know whats our past and what are the cultures, customs, hidden facts, traditions, revolts....e.t.c., and not make you bore by my introduction straightly coming to point. lets know what was the city secunderabad....

SECUNDERABAD, great city of  200 years history  .One of the largest cantonments in India. sixth largest metropolis in our country together with hyderabad. 

                 It was  named  after the king SIKANDAR JAH, III NIZAM OF ASHAF JAHI DYNASTY. It was found in the year 1806AD as a BRITISH CANTONMENT. Though SEC is a part of HYD as twin city but their cultures and histories are totally diversified. Bound to my last statement, in respect of history, it was directly developed by BRITISH SOVEREIGN till 1948. unlikely HYDERABAD was the princely state of NIZAM.
             
           
    As we go deep in to history, SEC was directly under the control of British after the HYDERABAD NIZAM ASHAF JAH II  was defeated at the hands of BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY and forced to sign on the TREATY OF SUBSIDIARY ALLIANCE indeed it was signed  by him to get support of British troops in 1798 AD. In 1803 the IIIRD NIZAM SIKANDAR JAH  named after him as secunderabad. prior to that the name of the city was ULWUL. The city was formed in 1806 , after the order was signed by the Nizam alloting the land north of Hussain Sagar to set up the British Cantonment .

         

    HUSSAIN SAGAR IS A MANMADE FRESHWATER LAKE SEPERATING HYD AND SEC, BUILT BY QUTUB SAHI DYNASTY in 16th CENTUARY.
