Albert Einstein is a true genius!


Albert Einstein's birthday is March 14th. He revolutionized the concepts of space, time, and gravity. Before his theories of 'The Special Theory of Relativity' and 'The General Theory of Relativity', space and time had been considered absolute and unaffected by the motions surrounding them. That thinking changed right after his theories on relativity were published. His theories proved that space and time were not absolute but relative. Also, space and time are no longer separate entities but have become inseparable space-time. Gravity was not a force but rather the result of the geometrical distortion caused by the mass of an object on the surrounding space-time.

Stephen Hawking: A Successful Fighter for Survival


March 14th is Stephen Hawking's death anniversary date. Not only his knowledge but also his life surprised medical doctors and all of us. He was diagnosed with a neurological disease and expected to survive only another six months, but he surprised everyone by living many more decades. He even married and divorced twice, and had children. He was the father of three children.

Remembering Karl Marx


Albert Einstein revolutionized the concept of space and time. Sigmund Freud revolutionized the understanding of the human mind. Karl Marx revolutionized the meaning of history. His papers on historical materialism predict a classless society in the history of mankind where people live without a requirement for a state. Today, March 14th, is his memorial day.

Generally, history is taught based on the lives of individuals such as kings and state leaders, but that is not real history. Real history is made by people. They change the world through technology and modes of production. Historical materialism revolutionized the meaning of history. Historical materialism predicts a classless society for mankind

Tribune, December 4,1965 (SriLanka): From the pages of Arthasastra - Hoarders, Black marketeers & Smugglers! By A.N.Kandasamy


The late A.N. Kandasamy was a writer with proficiency in both Tamil and English. He is considered one of the pioneers of Sri Lanka's progressive Tamil literature.  He was multi-talented in literature, and his contributions to the novel, short story, drama, poetry, and literary criticism are significant. His English writing cannot be ignored either. Though his life was short (1924 - 1968), his literary contributions were immense. He was also a social and political activist.

"merchants and pirates were for a long time one and the same person. Even today mercantile morality is really nothing but a refinement of piratical morality."

A Tribute to Aaron Bushnell


You are a true global citizen.
Your life is not in vain
but a beacon of hope for mankind.
Though you could have indulged
in the pleasures of modern technology,
you chose a different path.
You decided to fight for your country,
to sacrifice your precious life
for your motherland.

Poem: library!


I would say
I love that world
in many ways.
When my mind gets disturbed,
storms of sorrow blow,
and unsteadiness engulfs me.
I start my journey towards it.
Like that world journey,
no other journeys give me satisfaction.
The scenes there are beautiful.
Understanding the language of birds,
learning scientific achievements—
any amount of time I travel,
losing myself without thinking
anything in that world.
The best thing about the world is
the time ship
