Sonia Narang IPS: She is bold super cop

by


She’s young, bright, has low tolerance for `powerful’ troublemakers, asserts her authority confidently and is controversies’ favourite child. 

There was a time when a list of super cops would hardly ever have entertained a woman in its midst. Not anymore. Thankfully, the glass ceiling is well and truly broken in this terrain. Meet Sonia Narang, the IPS officer known across Karnataka for her forthrightness in the most audacious of circumstances. Presently, the Deputy Commissioner (South Division) of Bangalore. Her zero tolerance of anyone flouting the law has won her ample acclaim and even a little notoriety throughout the state.

A native of Chandigarh, she excelled in her studies in School and College and was a gold medalist in the Punjab University. Her father retired as a deputy superintendent of police. She cleared the civil services after two failed attempts in 2002.
At the Lal Bahadur Shastri Academy in Mussoorie, she met her life partner, Ganesh Kumar while training for IPS. It was not a happy love story but all went on well and got married to him in 2005.
She has son Shaurya, she is very religious and never leaves home without performing the puja. Her husband is a IPS of the Bihar Cadre.

A native of Chandigarh, she comes from a police family. Her father A N Narang retired as a deputy superintendent of police. She excelled in studies in school and college. A North Zone topper in the 12th and a gold medalist in BA (hon.), she secured the Punjab University Merit Scholarship and national scholarship from the HRD ministry for three years. She also has a Master’s degree in Sociology through distance education.

Functions of IPS Officers

The opportunity to provide instant relief to people made her set her mind on the civil services. After two unsuccessful attempts, she cleared it in 2002. Her father’s police background and her staunch belief that a uniform commands respect made her choose the Indian Police Service.

Her first assignment, as a probationer in 2004, was at Gulbarga district and she had to manage the crime-ridden Afzalpur during that election year. Wasn’t that tough for an inexperienced officer? “I worked hard and ensured order. The local politicians didn’t have the courage to speak to me. It was challenging and I really enjoyed it,” she says.

The next posting was at Bailhongal in Belgaum district. There, she had to control the people’s wrath against the police over a custodial death at Ramdurg police station. “My personal goodwill made a difference,” is her take on the matter.

In 2006 came her controversial stint, at Davanagere. Renukacharya created a furore accusing her of slapping him in public. Did she really do that? “We had imposed prohibitory orders but both Congress and BJP workers defied it and gathered at a place. As the situation was going out of control, we asked them to disperse in vain. We had to lathicharge and in the melee, he also got some blows,” is all she says about it.

Quiz her on her frequent run-ins, especially with politicians and her explanation is: “I am fair to all. I go by the law. I am too straightforward. Yes, some times, it creates differences of opinion with some people. But, in my experience, most politicians want senior officers to be fair.”

IAS Anjay tiwari , RANK 750

चैटिंग, फ्लर्टिंग, आदि के लिये बदनाम फेसबुक को ज्ञान बटोरने के लिये भी इस्तेमाल किया जा सकता है, यूपी के सिद्धार्थनगर के अंजय तिवारी ने वही किया और सिविल सर्विसेस की परीक्षा में 750वीं रैंक हासिल की…

देश के सबसे बड़े इम्तहान सिविल सर्विसेस को पास करने वाले लगभग सभी लोगों ने बताया होगा कि उन्होंने 8 से 10 घंटे पढ़ाई की, टाईम मैनेजमेंट का खास खयाल रखा और अखबारों को पढ़ने का जरिया बनाया, लेकिन 750 रैंक हासिल करने वाले अंजय तिवारी ने इन सबके साथ-साथ फेसबुक को अपनी सफलता का हथियार बनाया।

अंजय तिवारी वो मंत्र बताया, जो शायद ही कोई फेसबुक पर खोजता होगा।
जी हां अंजय ने बताया कि उन्होंने सिविल सर्विसेज की तैयारी 12वीं के तुरंत बाद से शुरू कर दी थी। तब तक
इंटरनेट का बूम आ चुका था, लेकिन जब फेसबुक आया तो वो पहले इसे ज्वाइन करने से हिचकिचाते रहे, लेकिन जब उनके मित्रों ने ज्वाइन किया तो उन्होंने भी सोशल नेटवर्किंग की दुनिया में कदम रखा। बस एक
खासियत रही। सोशल नेटवर्किंग को मनोरंजन और टाईम पास की जगह अंजय ने ज्ञान के महासागर की धाराओं को अपनी ओर खींचने के लिये किया।

अंजय बताते हैं कि वो रात-रात भर अपने दोस्तों के साथ चैटिंग करते थे, लेकिन चैटिंग का विषय हमेशा नॉलेज गेन करने के मकसद से होता था। दोस्त अकसर चैट के जरिये ऐसे-ऐसे लिंक भेज देते थे, जहां से अपने विषय से जुड़ा ज्ञान मिलता था। उसी प्रकार अंजय भी अपने मित्रों के साथ ऐसी ही जानकारियां शेयर करते थे। अंजय बताते हैं कि फेसबुक पर उन्होंने मित्रों के साथ एक ग्रुप बनाया, जिसमें हम विषय से संबंधित ही डिसकशन करते  हैं। उस ग्रुप में हम पढ़ाई से जुड़ी चीजों को डिसकस करते हैं।

रही बात इंटरनेट की तो अंजय का कहना है कि सिद्धार्थनगर जैसे शहरों में अगर आप ‘द हिन्दू’ अखबार मंगवायें तो 4 दिन बाद भी मिलना मुश्किल होता है, जबकि इंटरनेट के जरिये आप ई-पेपर को पढ़ सकते
हैं और वही उन्होंने किया। अंजय सभी बड़े अखबारों व मैगजीन के ई-पेपर को ही पढ़ते हैं। उनका कहना है कि इंटरनेट एक बहुत अच्छा माध्यम है ज्ञान बटोरने का बस इसका सही इस्तेमाल करना आना चाहिये।

बेटी पैदा होते ही हुआ आईएएस में सेलेक्शन
अंजय का परिवार भारत के उन लोगों के लिये सबक साबित हुआ है, जो बेटी के पैदा होने पर खुश नहीं होते।
उनकी बेटी परिवार के लिये इतनी लकी साबित हुई कि उसके पैदा होते ही अंजय का आईएएस में सलेक्शन हुआ। अंजय की शादी पिछले साल हुई थी। उनकी पत्नी ने एमबीए किया हुआ है और वो भी सिविल सर्विसेस की तैयारी कर रही हैं।

12वीं तक विज्ञान के विषयों से पढ़ने वाले अंजय गणित में काफी अच्छे थे, लेकिन फिर भी उन्होंने बीएससी या आईआईटी-जेईई की तैयारी करने के बजाये बीए चुना और इतिहास और मध्यकालीन इतिहास से बीए
करने के बाद इक्नॉमिक्स से ही एमए किया। यह दोनों डिग्री इलाहाबाद विश्वविद्यालय से हालिस की। अंजय बताते हैं कि अखबार के एडिटोरियल यानी संपादकीय पढ़ना बहुत जरूरी होता है। सिर्फ पढ़ना ही काफी नहीं, उसके बाद खुद के विचारों को उभार कर ऊपर लाना जरूरी होता है। अंजय कहते हैं कि आम तौर पर लोग बीए करने वालों को बड़ी तुच्छ नजरों से देखते हैं, जबकि मेरा मानना यह है कि सबजेक्ट कोई भी हो, अगर आपने पूरी रुचि के साथ पढ़ाई की है, तो आप बड़े- बड़ों को मात दे सकते हैं।

बैंक में ब्रांच मैनेजर के पद पर हैं तैनात
अजय ने एमए करने के बाद बैंकिंग सर्विसेज में सफलता हालिस की और इस समय वो बैंक में बतौर ब्रांच
मैनेजर कार्यरत हैं। शादी के बाद ग्रहस्थ जीवन और ऊपर से तमाम जिम्मेदारियों से भरी नौकरी। इन सबके बावजूद अंजय ने आईएएस परीक्षा में सफलता हासिल की। यह सब हुआ सही टाइम मैनेजमेंट की वजह से। अंजय बताते हैं कि इसमें उनके परिवार और पत्नी ने भरपूर सहयोग दिया। पत्नी ने बार-बार मनोबल बढ़ाया। उनका कहना है कि दोस्तों का भी खूब सपोर्ट मिला।

रेवेन्यू सेक्टर में जाना चाहते हैं अजय
अजय से जब हमने पूछा कि वो आईएएस क्यों बनना चाहते थे, तो उन्होंने कहा कि कोई भी आईएएस तीन कारणों से बनना चाहता है- पहला रुतबा हासिल करने के लिये, दूसरा अच्छा पैकेज और तीसरा समाज के लिये कुछ करने की चाह। मेरे अंदर समाज के लिये कुछ करने की चाह है और वही मुझे आगे करना है। अंजय ने कहा, “मैं बैंक की नौकरी के वक्त भी लोगों से हमेशा करीब से जुड़ा रहा। बैंक में अमीर-गरीब सब आते हैं सभी से मुझे जुड़ना काफी पसंद है।”

Top 5 Largest Aircraft in the World

by

The
first prize goes fairly to Ukrainian Antonov An-225 Mriya which is acknowledged
to be the world’s largest plane up to date. The plane made its first flight in
1988, on December 21. This really huge thing was built exceptionally for
military purposes, in particular for carrying the Buran orbiter (Russian Space
Shuttle). The developers of An-225 aircraft used a base of An-124 and increased
sufficiently its engine capacity. 6 engines are used in the An-225 instead of 4
in An-124 as well as twin nail. The aircraft is the heaviest up to date: its
maximum takeover weight is more than 640 tons. Today there is only one An-225
in service.
The
second place in top-5 of the world’s largest planes takes Airbus A380F with the
first flight performed just recently, in 2005, April 23. The aircraft places
525 seats and is considered to be the worlds’ largest passenger airplane ever
known and made. This twin deck, high capacity wide body airliner is a really
beautiful and potent thing.
The
third place in the scale of the top-5 goes to Boeing 747-8 which with is length
of about 77 meters is considered to be the longest airliner in the world up to
date. This intercontinental airbus places 467 seats and is a high-capacity
machine offering more payloads, more range and more fuel efficiency.
The
next in the top-5 scale is Boeing 747-400 ER, the one from the family of
Boeings possessing the major development and the most sold one. It has seats
for 524 passengers and features all-new modern interior.
The last place in the top-5 belongs to Ukrainian An-124
Ruslan. Up to this moment Ruslan is considered to be world’s second heaviest
cargo aircraft and the biggest heavy lifter ever made.

 

Inspiring Story of the Girl

by

She kept deferring a critical spine surgery for two years so that she could write her ICSE exam.

The girl from Belur in Howrah was born with Marfin’s Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder. By age 14 the disease had affected her heart, lungs, retina and spine. She gradually lost vision and has –22 power in her eyes. An aortic root dilation had swelled her heart to twice its size. To make it worse, kyphoscoliosis, a progressively deforming curvature of the spine, had twisted her body and rendered her immobile.

Doctors started fearing for her life. Prognosis wasn’t good for Rashmita. Her determination inspired a team of doctors to try out two risky but life changing surgeries on her. They warned her that it might fail and the consequences would be terrible, but she decided to push ahead. All the medical advice said she would be deformed for life, but Rashmita simply refused to give up.

The first surgery, for her heart, was conducted successfully two years ago at The Mission Hospital in Durgapur but complications created by kyphoscoliosis persisted. Rashmita had a second open-heart surgery spanning 14 hours to repair four valves and the aorta.

The result: Rashmita, 15, had to endure acute pain after every couple of hours of sitting. She overcame the pain and discomfort to score 80 per cent.

Einstein’s law of the equivalence of mass and energy

by

Einstein’s law of the equivalence of mass and energy :
According to it, the mass and energy are inter convertible aspects of the same property, and when a body gives up energy, it also loses mass. Numerically this law has been stated as E = mc2 (i.e.m. = E/C2), where E is energy, m is the mass and c is the velocity of light in vacuum. This law holds good in all cases but in ordinary chemical or molecular processes the change in mass is so small that it is not possible to measure or observe it.

Village Of Sanskrit

by

Mathur, a culturally rich village on the banks of the river Tunga in Karnataka. Villagers use Sanskrit here for their day to day conversation and not just during poojas.

It is one of the two villages in India where Sanskrit is the official language. The villagers speak a dialect called Sanketi, which is a mixture of Sanskrit, Tamil and Kannada. It has no written script.

There is a village paatashala, which teaches chanting of Vedas in the traditional way, especially Krishna Yajur Veda along with other ritualistic rites from Bodhayana sutras and Aabhasthamba sutras. Other rituals for yagnas are conducted for learning purposes.

An example of their brilliance was seen when they told about this famous verse from Bodhayana Sutra of the Shulba Sutra (around 4000 BC) in Mathematics, ‘Deergachatursasyaa akshanyaa rajjuh: Paarsvamanischa Thiryakmani cha. Yatpruthagbhute kuruthasthatubayam karoti.’ It is nothing but a Pythogaras’ theorem stated in Shulba Sutras, 1000 years before Pythogoras wrote it. Venkatesh avadhaani( a sanyasi, whose knowledge of Sanskrit is amazing) explained it by drawing a rectangle and a diagonal with a chalk on the floor of his house and showed how these Sanskrit words state that the area of the square on one side of the diagonal is equal to the area of the sum of squares on the side and base of that rectangle.

A Japanese gentleman has been attending the classes for the last couple of years, learning and writing advanced Vedic scriptures.
