Traditionally, Indians have enjoyed various sporting activities and games. Sports history of India dates back to the Vedic era. The origin and development of sports activities is closely related with the work, defence and entertainment of the time. Records says that games like, Chess, Snakes and Ladders, Kabbadi, Kho-Kho, cards, etc had originated as a sport in India. Now the most popular sports in India are Cricket and Football. In fact, Cricket has become a way of life with Indians and India has an impressive track record in cricket.
India is an active participant in major world sports tournaments such as the Olympics, Commonwealth Games, Asian Games, SAF Games, Wimbledon and many others. The country has hosted the Asian Games twice in 1951 and in 1982 and the World Table tennis championships three times in 1952, 1975 and 1987.
But India's sportspersons have generally performed creditably only at the Asian and Commonwealth games and in quite a few cases at the world level. From the1948 Olympics through to the Athens, India's effort have brought a meager returns of gold medal.
India has produced some players with exceptional skills who have made their presence felt at the international events in individual sports such as Sachin Tendulkar,Kapil Dev etc in cricket,Viswanathan Anand in chess, Geeth Sethi in Billiards, Ramanathan Krishnan, Vijay Amritraj, Leander Paes, Mahesh Bhupathi and recently Sania Mirza who is making waves in tennis, Prakash Padukone and Pullela Gopichand in badminton; Rajyavardhan Rathore, Jaspal Rana, Mansher Singh (shooting), Anju Bobby George (long jump), Narain Karthikeyan in Motor Racing, Chetan P. Baboor in table tennis, Chiranjeev Milkha Singh in golf, and A.Maria Irudayam in carrom etc. All these sportspersons and many others lent prestige and splendour to the Indian sports.
But, in a country having a population of over a billion, these stars represent a microcosm of the stars at the world level. With the introduction of new equipment and techniques of coaching and training, there is hope that India will show a marked improvement in various disciplines of sport.
Writing helps us express our feelings and emotions to a great extent. Authors are known for their sharp observations, imaginations and their ability to play with words. Sometimes they write about certain things so easily which we never can imagine.Talking about India in this context , we can surely say that Indians have a great flair for writing.We have had writers and poets like Meerabai ,Kabir,Rabindranath Tagore,The Nightingale of India Sarojini Naidu,Bankim Chandra Chatterjee etc who with their works have proved their potential and have set an example for the generations to come.As far the Hindi literature goes we also have names like Sumitranandan Pant,Mahadevi Verma,Ashok Chakradhar,Balkavi Vairagi and how can we forget Harivansh Rai Bachchan who has been credited for Madhushala.
Presently in India Writing has acquired quite a good position.Youngsters are taking it as a profession.Not only writing books but also writing film stories, screenplays and lyrics is alluring the interest of many people.
At present in India we have a stream of highly efficient writers such as Shobha Dey,Arundhati Roy,Kiran Desai,Jhumpa Lahiri along with Chetan Bhagat and famous lyricist such as Javed Akhtar ,Prasoon Joshi etc.These people have shown that writing can no longer be considered inferior to any profession and moreover writing gives freedom of thoughts and expression too.Afterall who can ignore the famous Five Point Someone,The Namesake,The Inheritance Of Loss and movies like Taare Zameen Par which cannot be overlooked.
Writers have truly proved the famous saying……“Pen is mightier than Sword”.
IT organizations have been caught between a rock and a hard place. Charged with protecting their company's information, IT organizations have established aggressive service level agreements (SLAs) that impact the manner in which they implement data protection by setting recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO).
Organizations struggle with shrinking or non-existent backup windows, the need to recover quickly, often to a specific point in time, and even meeting compliance or regulatory guidelines. Backing up to tape is no longer adequate; not only is it difficult to administer for backups and recoveries, but it lacks the speed, reliability, flexibility and simplicity IT needs to meet strict SLAs. Backing up to disk using virtual tape emulation or virtual tape libraries also falls short as the administration of the solution is tape-centric and schedule driven. Add in the explosion of data, along with the challenge of protecting remote offices, and you have the challenge facing many of today's business--with IT sitting on the front lines of aligning business needs with today's technology.
As a result, a growing number of IT organizations are augmenting their traditional backup and recovery strategies with continuous data protection (CDP) solutions. CDP dramatically improves RPOs and RTOs while eliminating backup windows. What's more, CDP not only reduces the need for tape in the backup and recovery process but it also makes recovery easy enough that users can often recover their own files, without help from IT.
The human brain is a super computer with the ability to instantaneously process vast amounts of information. It has been seen that it was easier to insert signals into the brain, but getting them out of the brain was a real challenge but the brain gate neural interface system has overcome this challenge and is a big leap forward in the field of neurotechnology. Braingate is based on a technology that can sense, transmit, analyze & apply the language of neurons. It consists of a sensor that is implanted on the motor cortex of the brain responsible for movement and a device that analyzes brain signals. The principle of operation behind the braingate system is that with intact brain function, brain signals are generated even though they are not sent to the arms,hands and legs. The signals are interpreted and translated into cursor movements ,offering the user an alternate braingate pathway to control a computer with thought, just as individuals who have the ability to move their hands use a mouse.The system reads signals generated by the brain and then interpretes and translates them into cursor movement.This offers a paralytic patient to perform activities ,which involves limb movement . The system allows activities beyond typical computer functions and includes control of objects in the environment such as television,telephone and lights.
