On the Eve of My 74th Birth Anniversary
I humbly dedicate my My 74th Birth Anniversary (Born 2 October 1950) to thousands of innocent people who lost their lives prematurely in Israel, Lebanon & elsewhere during the current war . Japan, Italy and Germany faced the horrifying aftermath of the ‘Second World War’ & renounced it in future. Interestingly, today these three stand among the most prosperous countries. The world’s most expensive motor vehicles ‘Mercedes’ , ‘Audi’ and ‘BMW’ are manufactured in Germany. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Fiat including scooters Vespa & Lambretta are manufactured in Italy. Honda , Toyota, Nissan & Suzuki including several motorbikes are Japanese popular brands. Japan remained the trailblazer for decades in technology & electronic gadgets.
I humbly dedicate my Birth Anniversary to all those who did wonders for the betterment of humanity & mankind with their noble works, unflinching dedication, commitment, self reliance and perseverance . Ever since the inception of our modern world precisely the 19th century, there have been innovations, researches, experiments, surveys & clinical examinations to prove the mettle in various fields to bring forth the best & to make impossible into possible thereby shaping a new world. We Salute to the zest, drive, spirit and perseverance of all those with whose efforts we have been enjoying unlimited luxuries like cars, scooters, aircrafts, televisions, better medical services, mobiles, lap tops, and other electrical gadgets used in our day-to-day life.
Interestingly, this could only be possible because of the hard work done by the scientists the world over like the Wizard nicknamed ‘Thomas Alva Edison’ who excelled both as scientist and inventor. He invented batteries, phonographs, cement, mining, telegraphs, lights and powers. ‘Graham Bell’ invented telephone. ‘Marie Curie’ holds record for the first female to be awarded with a Nobel Prize. ‘Marie Curie’ has always remained a source of inspiration and motivation for different female scientists because of her determination to work. She invented the first mobile X-ray machine which helped to check the injured soldiers in the battlefield. She also invented Radium. She is also known as ‘mother of atom bomb’ with her invention of the radio active material.
‘Louis Pasteur’ made astounding contributions in the field of science, technology and medicine. Pasteur was the first ever scientist to study about fermentation in food elements that was caused by microbes. ‘Sir Isaac Newton’ is best known for his law on gravitation. ‘Albert Einstein’ , a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, was bestowed with Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921.
Serbian scientist ‘Nikola Tesla’ (1856-1943 AD), a giant in the field, had developed almost everything by himself and did not expose any of it which later was invented by other scientists in his time. Tesla had generated ac current before Edison knew about charges. ‘Marconi’ who got Nobel prize for inventing radio used all the ideas of Tesla. X-rays by Roentgen, RADAR by Watson-watt were all devised by Nikola .There was almost nothing that Tesla did not do. Discovery of Penicillin by ‘Sir Alexander Fleming’ in September 1928 was an accidental discovery that led to miraculous results in the field .
