  Message to Indian youth about Independence Day As we approach yet another Independence Day on 15th August, a day deeply rooted in the soul of India, I find myself reflecting on the true essence of this day. For those of us who have lived through the trials and tribulations of a developing nation, the 15th of August isn't just a date on the calendar; it is a symbol of hard fought freedom, a reminder of our forefathers' sacrifices, and a call to action for the future. As a matured adult, I want to pass on some reflections to the younger generation Millennials and Gen Z who are the torchbearers of India's future.

India makes history when Chandrayaan-3 successfully lands on the moon On August 23, 2023, India made history when its Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft landed safely on the moon. The landing was the result of years of work by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), and it is a big step forward for India's space program. India's third journey to the moon is called Chandrayaan-3. The first one, Chandrayaan-1, was sent into space in 2008 and spent a year going around the moon. The second, called Chandrayaan-2, was launched in 2019 and was meant to land a lander and robot on the moon's surface. But the lander crashed as it got close to the surface, so the robot couldn't be sent out. Chandrayaan-3 was built to learn from Chandrayaan-2's mistakes and land gently on the moon. There is a lander, a rover, and an orbiter on the spaceship. The Vikram lander landed on the surface of the moon at 6:15 IST (12:45 GMT). The robot, which is called Pragyan, will be sent out from the la...

On this day in 1947, India got rid of British rule and started a new era.  A ceremony is held every year at Red Fort in Delhi, where the Prime Minister is present, to mark the first day of freedom.

Cloudburst -  is it part of Global Warming & Climate Change A cloudburst is a large amount of precipitation in a short period, sometimes accompanied by hail and thunder, that can cause flooding. Cloudbursts may rapidly drop massive volumes of water, for example, 25 mm of precipitation equals 25,000 metric tonnes per square kilometer (1 inch corresponds to 72,300 short tonnes over one square mile). Cloudbursts, on the other hand, are uncommon because they occur only when there is an orographic lift or when a warm air parcel combines with colder air, resulting in quick condensation. A huge volume of runoff from higher elevations is sometimes confused with a cloudburst. The name "cloudburst" originates from the idea that clouds, like water balloons, may burst, causing quick precipitation.
