First ever image of black hole!


First actual image of black hole taken by Telescope!
First of it's kind in the history of mankind! Path breaking!!
Black hole captured in this image is at the heart of the Messier 87 galaxy, 55 million light years away  from Earth. This mammoth object has mass that of 6.5 billion Suns!! Comparing it with  Sagittarius A*, super massive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, Sagittarius A* is only 4.3 million masses of our sun!
Accretion disk and glow of super heated gas can be seen wrapped around spherical event horizon.
Einstine, Stephen Hawking and all Scientists who spent years modeling how black hole would actually look, must be feeling super proud right now. Their prediction is deadly accurate!
All hail scientists involved in this and science who pushes us to cross the boundaries of unknown impossible!
Reminds me the lines of legendary poet Kusumagraj-
''अनंत आमुची ध्येयासक्ती अनंत अन आशा
किनारा तुला पामराला''
This image proves no boundaries of universe are beyond the sight of humans, we are born to explore!!

Swades: Vibrant canvas of characters on journey of self discovery!

Image
Much has been said and written about this classic over the years. Swades is probably last movie from the saddles of Bollywood which had (we call them) superstar actor(s) and mainstream director working together not to chase 100/200 crore club, but to create something beautiful, meaningful, long lasting and realistic piece of art! Its pity that none of today’s established actor/directors are looking keen to trace back and walk on the path of legacy Swades has created! Swades work on many levels, but I think what makes is so unique and repeat watch is its characters! As they say, every character written shall complete its circle at the end of story. And Swades does that beautifully! From protagonist Mohan Bhargava to flash and go water selling boy, everyone has their story to tell. Ashutosh Gowariker has taken his time to detail out each character and though that has made length of movie quite long for some, in the end each character leave its own impact. It forces us to sit bac

Class of 2007

Image
"In the  airrrrr , Sreesanth takes it. India  win " Ravi Shastri screamed from commentary box and after split second, realizing Misbah actually missed that scoop, entire nation went into frenzy. History was created, India became winner of inaugural T20 World Cup! Still remember that evening and thrill of watching that roller-coaster finale in a roadside garage among some 20-30 Cricket fanatics.. gosh! 10 years have already passed, hard to believe.. India, fresh after debacle of 2007 50 Overs world cup, was looking for redemption and fielded young team under rookie Dhoni. Honestly, no one would have believed they could lift the cup, but they did spread a magic! Dhoni's unvonventional tactics and some raw energy sail them through. Yuvraj, Dhoni, Pathan, Gambhir, Rohit, RP Singh, Shreesanth everyone contributed at crucial times. This was class of 2007; young, fearless, agile and hungry. They set template for how India played in next decade. It was start of an era

ती सध्या काय करते?

पाऊस धो धो कोसळतोय. सकाळपासून जणू काही आकाशाने आपली पोतडी ओलेत्या जमिनीवर रिती करावी तशी झड लागली आहे.. ओल्या रस्त्यांवर फुटणारे टपोरे थेंब येणारी जाणारी वाहने निर्दयीपणे आपल्या पायांखाली तुडवत आहेत, पण त्या बिचारया थेंबांना त्याचे काही नाही! विजांच्या नर्तनात ते लागोपाठ निसरडया रस्त्याला आहुती जात आहेत! मी आपला केव्हापासुन बस स्टॉपच्या शेडच्या आडोश्याने ही पावसाळी गम्मत पाहतोय! बस अशीच लेट करत राहो असे वाटत राहते. खरं तर मला पाऊस खुप आवडतो. वर्षभर तो असाच धो धो का पडत राहत नाही ह्या प्रश्नाचं उत्तर मात्र ढग देत नाहीत.. भस्कन् अंगावर आल्यासारखा अक्राळ विक्राळ आवाज काढत जाणारा डम्पर शेडच्या पागोळीची धार थोडीशी माझ्या अंगावर रीती करुन मात्र जातो! एक छत्री लगबगीने डबक्यांना चुकवत शेडच्या आडोश्याला येते. क्षणभर मला हा शेड वाळवंटातल्या एओसिस सारखा वाटायला लागतो! पण क्षणभरच, छत्रीला चुकवून आलेल्या काही चुकार थेंबांना हुसकावून लावणाऱ्या केसांची बट माझे लक्ष वेधुन घेते.. क्षणभर! आपल्या ओलेत्या केसांना सरळ करण्यासाठी ती मान वळवते.. एक विज लखकन् माझ्या मेंदुतुन आरपार जाते.. ती.. ती
