A TRUE GENIUS .. PART:1

Today the personality about which i am going to write I guess it doesn't need any introduction its...
Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci(April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519)From my view Da Vinci is a great painter for which he is renowned for and who can forget his master piece painting the "MONA LISA ". But today i would like to bring his other side which most of the people doesn't know about i.e Da vinci as a Scientist, inventor and as a encryptor ( Da vinci as a encryptor is still a myth which scientist still trying to find out )

• First of all lets take a look to Da vinci's study in the field of Engineering and Mathematics
  

The first manuscript is

"Paris Manuscript H 1493-94"

Manuscript H consists of three pocket notebooks bound together. In them, Leonardo begins to study Euclidian geometry, an understanding of which was a prerequisite for drawing the geometrical forms

of polyhedrons for Luca Pacioli’s De Divina Proportione, which Pacioli subsequently commissioned from Leonardo.He also considers the design of drawing instruments, such as compasses. The annotations on Euclid contained in these noteb

ooks sometimes consist solely of drawings or diagrams.

Moving onto the next manuscript is one of my favourties which made me a fan of him is the....

"Paris Manuscript B 1488-90"

Paris Manuscript B is the earliest of Leonardo’s bound manuscripts, with the Codex Trivulzianus.It contains drawings and notes relating to a range of subjects, the most famous of which concern mechanical inventions for flight, such as the so-called helicopter, a submarine, and architectural studies with designs for churches based on centralised plans.Right now the location of this manuscript is : "Bibliothè

que de l’Institut de France"
And now for today's last study of his in mathematics is the

"Working in propotionality "

An interest in mathematics was raised when Leonardo met up with Fra Luca Pacioli who introduced him to the delights of the topic, especially geometry. For a time the Italian mathematician moved in with Leonard

o and he later illustrated Fra Luca Pacioli's book "On Divine Proportion".

This new interest caused him to develop the idea, "There is no certainty where one cannot apply any of the mathematical sciences." Today this concept is universally accepted, but in Leonardo's time it was revolutionary thinking.

I hope you guys will like it .. there's many more coming in next part...

THE CURIOUS CASE OF SHAHID AFRIDI.......

It all begins on 30th March 2011 the match which all cricketing nations never forget it was high-voltage game IND VS PAK semi final of ICC Worldcup 2011.And when it was decided that the Prime ministers of both the countries will personally come to see this match the hype reached to its maximum point. After the heart-throbbing ,scintillating contest Team India became victorious by 29 runs.
When the captain of Team Pakistan Shahid Afridi was interviewed in presentation ceremony the whole ground erupted in appreciation of his sportmanship when he said " I congratulate indian cricket team for this great victory and wish them best of luck for the finals " and after that the line which forced the audience to literally cry " I want to say sorry to my nation , i could not bring the worldcup " . the whole cricketing world was stunned by this little speech made by afridi and every critic was rating him as a matured and sensible cricketer .
The single question which every cricket lover was having in its mind was ... What will be the reaction of Pakistani fans after this defeat ? .. In reply pakistani fans responded in a way which no one thought they welcomed the team with open heartedly . There was huge crowd gathered at airport to get the glimpse of afridi and congratulate him on his world cup success y reaching till semis which no one thought .Later that day when he was questioned about the indo-pak realtionship he responded positively and said there should be peace and friendship between the two countries he futher more said that most of pakistani people watches indian shows and movies follow their than why this sort of hatred for them?
A large number of fans were gathered out his house to meet and congratulated him for the performance everyday and for every single fan he used to come out and meet with him gracfully.
After all these statements his reputation as a sensible person increased more .
BUT........ all of sudden there was complete turn around in his views within 24-hours ,when he was interviewed on one of the leading news channel of Pakistan and there he said " Pakistani people and Muslims are large hearted than the Indians" . Seriously speaking when I first saw this interview i was bamboozled and bit shocked about his statement and was thinking what happened to him. And this same question was in everyone's mind. He was highly criticized by ex-cricketers and other important personalities about his statement and
Then afterwards a news came that he was upset with the indian media and the stories they made on television one of them was named " Afridi baba aur 11 chor " ( Afridi and eleven theives ) another story was made its way to pakistani captain was " Dhoni..... bemaan Afridi se hoshyaar " ( Dhoni beware of cheater Afridi ). But the question for me which made me confused with this allegation was can someone judge a whole nation through these pathetic,disgusting , disgraceful, videos?In half of the manner I say YES because media reflects the thoughts of common people infact media represents a country internationally . Is it not a responsibility of local citizens and govt to take a certain against them which damages its own country's reputation internationally.
The whole media of both the countries after this statement was at unrest trying to find out what did actually happened to him.? Why such turn around?
After lots of buzz finally a leading Indian channel hooked Afridi for interview to ask about his statement .. And guess what again there was complete turn around from Afridi which u can see from this video. He said "he is misquoted and misunderstood by media about his intentions and what he was trying to say"..


From my side I am a big fan of Afridi his reputation was more increased in my eyes when he issued the friendship statement but now after he turned around completlely second time on indian news channel I am bit dissapointed . I can't understand what happened to this man .Maybe after what he is gone thorugh in worldcup he was in fatigue and all these interviews he want to something and said something else .. Don't know!!!!
But in the end after this whole scenario I am still his big fan because he is un-predictable not only in batting but now also in daily life, no matter what happens again when he comes to batting crease or bowling i'll forget everything else and watch his game. He is true icon of Pakistani cricket team after the legend Imran Khan..
Afridi we still love you no matter what happens.........

When It Will End......

Every person has his/her own perception and way to think about life... I guess mine is different .. Thts the common line which all individuals use while talking about themselves..
One day i came across this beautiful little child's pic which first of all brought smile to me looking at his innocence then sympathy regarding to his future and all the kids in this world like this innocent child..
What is his mistake in the life he is living? .. Why can't he have all the necessities which all common men have in this world...?Is it his mistake that he was born in poor family?
Is it the mistake of his father or mother ?
The answer is NO!! from my view it is the mistake of our society and all the people including me who don't gave them a chance to grow and live there life in a better way . we made them limited to certain fields which help them to earn such amount of money in which they hardly earn their bread and butter .
We can spend lots of money in shopping,traveling etc etc but can't help them or aid them for their betterment . There are few charitable organizations going on which promises that we will give them education , a reputable job. Seriously without any offense its no where .
By seeing them work in this little age my heart cries out for them. Their age is of having fun , playing with other friends and what they ended up doing .."LABOR". Does these kids don't have hearts like every other children have ?? Does these children don't like to share happiness of all the festivals we have? Why we forget them in our happiness?
So my question is to all the readers is that WHEN IT WILL END ????
Yes its so easy for us to blame the ongoing government . But as a citizen have we done anything for them ?
I leave this question of all of you guys give a thought about it ............
