IT'S MY BIRTHDAY !!!

Hello everyone!

Guess what today is... It's my birthday! And it is APJ Abdul Kalam sir's Birthday too! 

After waiting for an entire year for this day, here it finally is. And I had a lot of fun at school today too. The usual custom at our school is that children wear their birthday dresses and distribute something in their classes. It usually is pens, chocolates or sweets. 

But I think pens, chocolates, and 

sweets are something, everyone 

does, and I'm not like everyone, otherwise, I wouldn't be writing this blog, right? So I sat brainstorming alone at night and came up with a brilliant idea that everyone at home and school loved.

 My class teacher said it  

was a very thoughtful gift to give.

White daisy seed Pots

Instead of giving away all those things, I decided to do something for the environment. Mum ordered 50 recycled black plant pots, and we kept 4 white daisy seeds in each of them. I thought that it would be a really nice thing to give away white daisy seeds to my friends and teachers. They'll go and plant it at home, and maybe when the flowers will come they will remember me? 

Whoever celebrates their birthday, their kid's birthday or any of their family's, please consider this idea to give away and make the earth green!

Happy Birthday,Einstein!

In 1915, Albert Einstein published his general theory of relativity, which described gravity as a fundamental property of space-time. He came up with a set of equations that relate the curvature of space-time to the energy and momentum of the matter and radiation that are present in a particular region.

A hundred years later, Einstein’s theory of gravitation has withstood all the tests that scientists could throw at it. But until recently, it wasn't possible to do experiments to probe the theory under extreme conditions to see whether it breaks down.

Now, scientists have the technology to look for evidence that could reveal physics beyond general relativity.

Today, 14^th of March, 2015 is this great and brilliant scientist’s 100^th birth anniversary. His theory produced some pretty wild predictions, which includes the possibility of black holes, which another brilliant scientist Stephen Hawking has proved. "There's a very good chance we will be detecting [gravitational waves] directly in the next couple of years," said Clifford Will, a theoretical physicist at the University of Florida. "What he wrote down is the same thing we use today," Will said.

His being a great scientist is the reason why I like him.
