Research in any field of knowledge must serve a purpose. We are aware that scientific explorations through research therefore have some prerequisites. In this episode, I talk about the Four os that are essential to be deliberated upon before undertaking a journey in research.

Sardar Bhagat Singh remains an inspiration to millions of young men for the supreme sacrifice that he made for India's Freedom from British Rule in 1931. Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Chandrasekhar Azad smilingly adorned the gallows out of the love that they had for their country. The British were so terrified of the young patriots that they did not even hand over their dead bodies to the next of kin fearing that their corpses will inspire millions. They were so very wrong in that assumption. The ashes of these patriots that the British cast in the waters of the Sutlej cruised into the blood of millions more, eventually leading to independence from British Rule. This is the story of Bhagat Singh.

This is the story of three selfless Army wives who spend their time nursing and literally mothering terminal cancer patients. After meeting them, I believe that angels are there on Earth, especially in cancer wards. This story is from my personal experience and your comments are welcome. Stay blessed. Stay safe.

Pedangi was a army mule that had an illustrious life of valour and courage during her 39 years of service in the India Army. This is her story.

The sacrifices of over nine thousand American soldiers on the Omaha beach in Normandy earned the beach a new name - Democracy's Beach. Rightfully, a grateful America and France honour their memories even today. In the same war, over 87000 Indian troops made the supreme sacrifice in Italy, West Asia and Far East. Ironically, these gallant men are neither remembered as heroes in their own soil nor celebrated elsewhere. Apart from their sacrifices, India as a Colony of the British Empire paid nearly two billion USD in war time expenses to Britain. This episode is in memory of those great sons of India.
