Oshil chawada

The Jantar Mantar is a collection of 19 astronomical instruments built by the Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur, Rajasthan. The monument was completed in 1734. It features the world’s largest stone , and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is located near City Palace and Hawa Mahal. The instruments allow the observation of astronomical positions sundial with the naked eye. The observatory is an example of the Ptolemaic positional astronomy which was shared by many civilizations.

The monument features instruments operating in each of the three main classical celestial coordinate systems: the horizon-zenith local system, the equatorial system, and the ecliptic system. The Kanmala Yantraprakara is one that works in two systems and allows transformation of the coordinates directly from one system to the other.

The monument was damaged in the 19th century. Early restoration work was undertaken under the supervision of Major Arthur Garrett, a keen amateur astronomer, during his appointment as Assistant State Engineer for the Jaipur District.

Himalayan Day

By: Astha Raghav

The Himalayas, or Himalaya are a mountain range in Asia separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. The range has some of the planet’s highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest. Over 100 peaks exceeding 7,200 m (23,600 ft) in elevation lie in the Himalayas. By contrast, the highest peak outside Asia (Aconcagua, in the Andes) is 6,961 m (22,838 ft) tall.

A section of the Himalayan mountain range showing Mount Everest and surrounding peaks as seen from the International Space Station looking south-south-east over the Tibetan Plateau. Four of the world’s fourteen eight-thousanders, mountains higher than 8000 metres, can be seen, Makalu (8462 m), Everest (8850 m), Kanchenjunga (8586 m), and Lhotse (8516 m). The Himalayas abut or cross five countries: Bhutan, India, Nepal, China, and Pakistan. The sovereignty of the range in the Kashmir region is disputed among India, Pakistan, and China. The Himalayan range is bordered on the northwest by the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges, on the north by the Tibetan Plateau, and on the south by the Indo-Gangetic Plain. Some of the world’s major rivers, the Indus, the Ganges, and the Tsangpo–Brahmaputra, rise in the vicinity of the Himalayas, and their combined drainage basin is home to some 600 million people; 53 million people live in the Himalayas. The Himalayas have profoundly shaped the cultures of South Asia and Tibet; many Himalayan peaks are sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism.

Lifted by the subduction of the Indian tectonic plate under the Eurasian Plate, the Himalayan mountain range runs west-northwest to east-southeast in an arc 2,400 km (1,500 mi) long. Its western anchor, Nanga Parbat, lies just south of the northernmost bend of the Indus river. Its eastern anchor, Namcha Barwa, lies immediately west of the great bend of the Yarlung Tsangpo River. The range varies in width from 350 km (220 mi) in the west to 150 km (93 mi) in the east.

Pollution in Dehradun

By: Astha Raghav

The report is based on a 10-day field study wherein representatives of the foundation measured air quality samples in 10 locations of the city. The study was conducted between February 1 and 10.

The concentration of particulate matter (PM) 10 and 2.5 in Dehradun have reached alarming levels, showed a report released by a city-based environment think tank, Gati Foundation, here on Wednesday.

Levels of PM 10 and 2.5 are seen as indicators of air quality. Lower these levels, purer is the air.

The report is based on a 10-day field study wherein representatives of the foundation measured air quality samples in 10 locations of the city. The study was conducted between February 1 and 10.

“At present, there are only three air monitoring centres installed by the Central Pollution Control Board in Dehradun and they don’t measure the levels of PM 2.5, which are more harmful than PM 10. Our study has found that 75% of the readings for PM 10 were more than the permissible standards accepted nationally, while the figure for PM 2.5 was 85%,” said Anoop Nautiyal, the foundation’s chairperson.

In India, the national permissible limit for PM 10 (for daily measurement) is 100, and that for PM 2.5 is 60. However, the World Health Organisation standards are 50 and 25 for PM 10 and PM 2.5 respectively.

The 10 locations where the samples were collected include Clock Tower, Saharanpur Chowk, Bindal Bridge, ISBT, Dilaram Chowk, Rispana Bridge, Karanpur-DAV, Raipur/ Sahastradhaara, Doon Hospital and Balliwala Chowk.

Among these, ISBT and Saharanpur Chowk were found to be the most polluted places. While ISBT recorded PM 10 levels of 472 on February 1, the same for Saharanpur Chowk was 466 on February 5. “This is more than four times the national permissible limits,” Nautiyal said.

Asked about their methodology, Nautiyal said that the team conducted spot visits using a thermo-scientific machine acquired from Greenpeace Research Laboratory, University of Exter.

He added that their findings are commensurate with past reports. “On December 15 last year, the Centre informed the Lok Sabha that Dehradun is the most polluted city among those classified as eco-sensitive cities in the country.”

Nautiyal said that even the data of the state pollution control shows that the air pollution levels in Dehradun (PM 10) have increased by 108% in the last six years. “In 2011, the annual PM 10 level in ISBT was 138. This increased to 287 by 2017,” he said.

Meanwhile, the International Road Foundation, a Geneva based organisation working on road safety, has also called for banning vehicles that use single and double cylinder naturally aspirated diesel engines in the city.

In Dehradun, Vikram and other three-wheelers use such engines and they are a major cause of air pollution, the organisation said in a press release.

“They are the main source of pollution in the urban environment. India is a unique country which has been using single and double cylinder diesel technology for transportation of passengers as well as goods. These type of technologies were used globally, mostly for water pumping from ground or for boat rides,” said KK Kapila, chairperson, International Road Federation.

In January, Greenpeace had released a report on the state of air quality in the country and Dehradun was ranked among the top 10 polluted cities.

However, members of the state pollution control board had rubbished the report stating that cities like Kanpur and Kolkata, which are far more polluted than Dehradun, have been ranked lower than it.

Teacher's Day

By: Astha Raghav

Teachers’ Day is a special day for the appreciation of teachers, and may include celebrations to honor them for their special contributions in a particular field area, or the community in general.

The idea of celebrating Teachers’ Day took root in many countries during the 19th century; in most cases, they celebrate a local educator or an important milestone in education. This is the primary reason why countries celebrate this day on different dates, unlike many other International Days. For example, Argentina has commemorated Domingo Faustino Sarmiento’s death on 11 September as Teachers’ Day since 1915. In India the birthday of the second president Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (5 September) is celebrated as Teachers’ Day since 1962 and Guru Purnima traditionally observed as a day to worship teachers by Hindus.According to Hindu scriptures, it is very important to make a spiritual guru (guru), without a spiritual teacher one cannot attain salvation. The identity of a true Spiritual teacher is written in Adhyay 15 Shlok 1 to 4 of Holy Gita. Teacher’s Day was celebrated as “Abhar Diwas” in 2021.

Many countries celebrate their Teachers’ Day on 5 October in conjunction with World Teachers’ Day, which was established by UNESCO in 1994.

A day for homeschool teacher appreciation has been suggested, which several homeschooling groups subsequently organized. A United States “parents as teachers day” has existed on 8 November since the 1970s. While this initially focussed on the role of parents in early-childhood learning, some homeschoolers use it to acknowledge the primacy of the parental role in education.

Can we really use our brain 100%?

We have been studying about a complex organ in our body for centuries and we are still learning a lot about it, Do you know what it is?. Yes, the Brain is the most complex and fascinating organ which is made up of more than 100 billion neurons that can transmit an enormous amount of information through electrochemical signal. The brain is the major organ of the central nervous system and the control center for all the body’s voluntary and involuntary activities. It is also responsible for the complexities of thought, memory, emotion, and language. In adults, this complex organ weighs about 1.4 kilograms. The brain has three major parts, the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem.

The Cerebrum, which consists of the right and left cerebral hemispheres joined by the corpus callosum, is the sight of most conscious and intelligent activities.
The Cerebellum, its main functions are the maintenance of posture and the coordination of body movements.
The Brainstem, which controls vital body functions, such as breathing and digestion.

Myth or Fact?

There are about two third of the people believes that we only use 10 percent of our brain, even 50% of science teachers also do. These are all started in 1908 when William James known as the father of American psychology mentioned in his book, The Energies of Men that “we are making use of only a small part of our possible mental and physical resources”. He only meant this a challenge to encourage the people to develop ourselves mentally. But later in 1936 Dale Carnegie mentioned the 10% figure in his book and thus people started to believe this thing. It may also come from a simple confusion that our brain is 10% neurons and 90% glial cells. There are different types of neurons that take care of different functions in our brain but in general your neurons enable you to process and transmit information and glial cells surround our neurons providing them with support and insulation.

How much we actually use our Brain?

For an adult at resting position, our brain consumes about 20% of the body’s overall energy for just breathing, digesting and keeping itself warm, even though our brain makes up only 2% of the body weight. It means that it requires 350 to 450 calories per day just to transmit signals. For 5 years old, their brain consumes over 50% to 60% of the total energy. So imagine how much energy it takes to attain 100% efficiency of your brain at once, even if you can access your brain’s full capacity you can’t use it. Because your brain would be limited by your body’s survival needs. As we have been evolving as a human from 2.4 million years ago, our brain learned to use the necessary parts at any one time , a process called ‘Sparse coding’, with this we can carry the most information using the least energy. Consider your house for an example, it has living room, bedrooms, kitchen etc, and there will be some electrical appliances in each room, so when you are in a particular room, you don’t use all the electrical appliances at once because, you don’t have to when it is unnecessary, that’s what happens with your brain too. We actually use 1 to 16% of our brain for more efficient use of energy. We use more than 10% of our brain even while sleeping, our brain process all the day events and our subconscious data to our conscious memory.

Conclusion:

So how can you be smarter? You have to train your brain like a muscle, try to learn new things, stimulate it frequently, take on challenges and get enough sleep. We are using our brain 100% but not at the same time.

“Everything we do, every thought we’ve ever had, is produced by the human brain. But exactly how it operates remains one of the biggest unsolved mysteries, and it seems the more we probe its secrets, the more surprises we find”. –Neil deGrasse Tyson
