Love

Love is the most powerful asset of an individual. It is seen that love in any form can be constructive or destructive. But todays world witness the latter with respect to marital love.

Well, what is love? Although we find love(its a feeling) in different form and in different stages, why do we still use the same word?
In greek mythology, love is classified as 4 categories. Those are:
  1. Agape - Love towards God
  2. Philia - Love towards your parents and peers.
  3. Storge - Love and affection what we find in friendship.
  4. Eros - Marital love.(can be referred as erotic love also).

How telephone works?

It might be one of the simplest devices thats become a part of our lives. But the design and working of a telephone is not known to everyone. Its a simple instrument which can be comprehended by anyone.








As you can see, it contains three parts and they are all simple:
  1. A switch to connect and disconnect the phone from the network. The switch is generally called the Hook Switch. It connects when you lift the handset.
  2. A Speaker.
  3. A Microphone - Carbon granules compressed between two thin metal plates. Sound waves from your voice compress and decompress the granules, changing the resistance of the granules and modulating the current flowing through the microphone.

The dialling from this simple phone is very easy by rapidly tapping the hook switch. If you pick up and rapidly tap the switch hook four times, the phone company's switch will recognise that you have dialled a "4".

Now how does two people gets connected through a telephone? The following are the steps involved:

  • The signal leaves your house to a telephone box outside.
  • The local exchange is connected to all the phones in a small geographical area.
  • From the local exchanges, calls are routed to the main exchange.
  • The main exchange may route the call to another main exchange and the reverse process follows.

Little Master Sachin Tendulkar




Sachin Tendulkar - next master blaster named after Sir Vivian Richards. Perhaps his name is also recommended for the honour title Sir. He has made the world of cricket under his cover by his extraordinary batting. He is the favourite player of many cricket fans who treat cricket as a religion. His specialities include the straight drive(nobdy can play this shot better),the cover drive(classic shot),the square cut,the pull shot over mid wicket,the delicate leg glance and the lofted shots over mid-on and mid-off. The improvisations that he keeps on coming up with time is commendable. Here is a look at his milestones in cricket:




  • Highest run scorer in the ODI.


  • Highest run scorer in Test Match cricket also.


  • Most number of hundreds in ODI.


  • Most number of Man of the Matches(56) in ODI's.


  • Most number of Man of the Series(14) in ODI's.


  • First cricketer to pass 10000 runs in ODI's.


  • Highest run scorer in the World Cup(1796 runs at an average of 59.87)
