In celebration of American Archive Month, NASA has released six mind-blowing images from the Chandra archive.

The Chandra X-ray Observatory was launched and deployed from Space Shuttle Columbia on July 23, 1999. Since then, it has collected data on thousands of cosmic objects such as pulsars, supernovae, interstellar gas clouds, and galaxies. NASA hopes that by releasing these images to the public and scientific community, it will inspire new perspectives and serve as inspiration for future exploration.

The images can take hours, and in some instances days, to capture. They are imaged using a combination of light waves, X-rays, and radio waves.

Below is W44, also known as G34.7-0.4, which is an expanding supernova remnant that is interacting with the dense cosmic material surrounding it.

Next is SN 1987A, the brightest and nearest supernova to Earth in the last century. This image shows the result of the supernova explosion, which occurs when a star runs out of fuel and then hurls layers of itself out into space.

Below is Kesteven 79, another remnant of a supernova explosion. This one, however, occurred thousands of years ago.

Here, we see the galaxy cluster 3C295. The pink area is superheated gas and the yellow regions are individual galaxies. Galaxy clusters like this contain huge amounts of dark matter, which hold the hot gas (pink) and galaxies (yellow) together.

Last but not least is the “Guitar Nebula,” containing a pulsar officially called B2224+65. This pulsar is traveling at an extremely high speed of approximately 800 kilometers (500 miles) per second.

” Could you please tell me what is the english word for this situation ….” ?

Periyava_sitting

A family went to have the darshan of Maha Periyavaal. Along with them, they took one of their family friends who lived in the USA for some decades. The friend did not have any great faith in our religion, system and especially the monks wearing the saffron; he went along with him with utterly non-interested to meet Him. He was under the impression that Maha Periyavaal was a fundamentalist, an uneducated monk. This NRI had no great respect at all for Him. Not only that, he uttered such inauspicious things about Him, ‘what does He know? Does He know English?’.

There was a big throng of devotees at the Mutt and the family was standing in a decent distance from Him. As usual, Maha Periyavaal saw this family with His graceful eyes, and called all of them near to Him.

They all went near Him, the friend too.

After all the usual courteous enquiry towards the family, the Master looked at the NRI friend and asked about his details, including his name, whereabouts, his predecessors, where he is working etc etc.

Then He asked, ‘you are born in India, and you know Tamil; your wife was also born in India and should know the mother tongue. When you two converse will it be in Tamil or English?’

The friend replied ‘We never use Tamil at home, we use only English. The same goes for the kids also.’

Then Maha Periyavaal asked, ‘before speaking, you may have to think and conceive the sentence. Is the thought process in Tamil or English?’

The friend replied, ‘That too in English only’.

Some minutes later, an old lady came to have Maha Periyavaal Darshan.

Maha Periyavaal looked at the NRI person and said, ‘This old lady is now very poor, but once upon a time she was very rich. But even after she lost all the materialistic wealth her devotion towards the Mutt, Acharya and me has never changed even a bit. Could you please tell me what is the English word which will describe this unflinching devotion, which can’t be changed by external situations? I would like to know.’

The man was flummoxed. He thought and thought for a while but did not know that word.

Maha Periyaval smiled and told him, ‘please take your time and let me know’.

Even after some time, he could not come up with the required word.

Then Swamiji said, ‘Can I suggest one word? Could you please confirm whether the same can convey this meaning? EQUIPOISED’.

The man was spellbound and fell on Maha Periyavaal’s Feet to Pardon him for his ego..

Daddy’s Little Girl Interrupts Military Ceremony to Welcome Him Home…..

October 9, 2015October 9, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

Screengrab taken from video posted on Facebook by KKTV 11 News

Military protocol be damned, this two-year-old hasn’t seen her daddy in a long time and isn’t going to wait a second longer to give him a proper welcome.

In a video that’s now touching a million hearts, little Karis Oglesby, dressed in an ensemble inspired by the US flag with sparkling gold boots to match, can be seen darting towards her dad Lt Daniel Ogelsby at the formal homecoming ceremony in Fort Carson, Colorado. With outstretched arms (and not a care in the world), she rushes to daddy to give him a warm hug. Cue in the aaawwws now…

Lt Ogelsby was among 300 Fort Carson soldiers who were welcomed back home after a nine-month deployment in the Middle East, according to The Gazette. US military protocol dictates that homecoming soldiers have to be given a formal welcome by their commander. After that they are allowed to meet their families.

“She was excited. She spotted me from a couple rows back and she couldn’t contain herself. I wasn’t gonna tell her no,” the happy father told KKTV 11 News.

Luckily for us, the adorable moment was captured on camera for posterity.

Here’s what it’s like to live in space….

October 8, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

A $US150-billion contraption floating 270 miles above Earth is one of the most impressive achievements of humankind.

It’s called the International Space Station (ISS), and a rotating astronaut crew has occupied it since 2000. The work of those astronauts has yielded some incredible scientific insights.

Astronaut is not a profession where you get to go home at the end of the day though. One ticket from Earth to the ISS costs about $US70 million, so normally each crew lives and works on the station for a six-month shift.

Right now NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko are in the middle of a year-long shift aboard the ISS. They will be the first humans to spend a consecutive year living in space.

But what is it like to actually live on the ISS?

The first step to living in space is getting there. All astronauts hitch a ride to the ISS on board a giant space shuttle that launches from Russia.

NASA

The shuttle takes astronauts all the way up to the ISS, which floats about 250 miles above the planet.

NASA

The station is a system of labs, living quarters, and control rooms, and it spans about the length of a football field. A rotating crew of six astronauts share the space.

NASA

The ISS is hurtling around the Earth at about 17,150 miles per hour. That extreme velocity puts the ISS in a constant free fall around the planet.

So everything on board experiences weightlessness, including the astronauts.

So they get around the station by floating. Which means sometimes it’s too hard to resist the temptation to strike a Superman pose.

NASA

Weightlessness causes a lot of weird problems though — the kind of problems we never experience here on Earth thanks to gravity.

NASA

For example, sweat doesn’t evaporate. Instead, it pools on astronauts’ bodies, so they are constantly toweling off sweat. You can see sweat droplets escape from this astronaut’s towel after he wipes his head.

If objects escape inside the ISS, they can float away, get lodged in equipment, and cause malfunctions.

For example, even small tasks like clipping your nails become a problem. Astronauts clip them near a vent, so that tiny pieces of nail don’t end up floating all over the station.

RAW Embed

Water is also difficult to manage. It likes to stick together in a big blob.

So washing and showering is a challenge. Astronauts squirt a few lines of water on their skin and hair and then use no-rinse soap and shampoo to clean themselves.

The station only gets resupplied every few months, so astronauts have to be mindful of their supplies. Luckily, over 90% of the water on board gets recycled and reused.

That includes everything from dirty wash water, water from astronauts’ breath, and yes, even urine is recycled. It’s all sent through this high-tech water filter on board.

YouTube/Canadian Space Agency

The water is perfectly safe to drink after it’s run through the filter (it’s actually cleaner than the water we drink on Earth), but many astronauts say they try not to think about it too much when they refill their water pouches.

YouTube/Canadian Space Agency

Getting back to that urine thing, ‘How do you go to the bathroom?’ is one of the most common questions astronauts get.

YouTube/ESA

If you’re going number one, it gets sucked into this tube through the yellow nozzle.

YouTube/ESA

Things are little more complicated when you need to go number two. There’s a tiny seat, a container for the waste, and a suction pump.

YouTube/ESA

Once you do your business and suction it away, you have to change out the ‘poop bag’ for the next person.

YouTube/ESA

Still, all the complications that come from weightlessness don’t get in the way of what astronauts are really there for. They spend most of their time working on various research projects and repairing the station.

NASA

Sometimes that even involves venturing out into the dangerous vacuum of space. Trips outside the station are called ‘spacewalks,’ and they take a lot of preparation and safety training.

NASA

One wrong move and an astronaut could just float off into the vacuum of space (like George Clooney in ‘Gravity’). They also have to watch for leaks in the spacesuits that protect them from the bitterly cold temperatures and radiation in space.

NASA

When they aren’t working, astronauts still have to stick to a pretty tight schedule. They have mandatory workouts so they don’t lose too much muscle mass in the weightless environment. (Since they don’t have to fight gravity, they get a lot less exercise while moving around.)

You can easily lift hundreds of pounds in a weightless environment, so astronauts have a cleverly designed machine for weight lifting.

After a good work out, you gonna eat. Space meals are stored in dehydrated packets. Once you add a little water, dinner is served.

And the menu isn’t half bad. Here’s an astronaut enjoying a milkshake.

NASA

After dinner it’s time for bed. The middle section of the station is where most of the crew sleeps. Labs and work spaces make up the rest of the structure, and the giant yellow panels collect sunlight to help power everything.

YouTube/Canadian Space Agency

Each astronaut has their own tiny room that includes a work space and a sleeping bag strapped to the wall. You can see on the screens that it appears astronaut Scott Kelly is chatting on Facebook.

NASA

Sleeping in space is hard to get used to since you don’t feel the sensation of lying down. Astronauts zip themselves into a sleeping bag every night so they don’t float around in their sleep.

And they have to keep careful track of their sleep schedule since days don’t pass the same on the ISS as they do on Earth. The station is whizzing around the planet so quickly that the crew sees about 16 sunrises and sunsets during a 24-hour Earth day.

NASA

When it’s time to return to Earth, a shuttle flies up to the station to pick up the astronauts. Then they parachute back down to Earth in a landing pod.

NASA

Astronauts are a little wobbly on their feet when they first land, but it doesn’t take long to readjust to a weighted environment.

NASA

Living on the ISS is no picnic, but it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. Most astronauts say they wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.

Why 5000 Books Travelled All the Way from USA to Find a Home in a Tiny Police Station in TN …

October 8, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

Ever since the advent of the internet and e-books, printed books are of no value anywhere now.” So thought this US citizen who had books to give away. An ACP in Tirupur, India, disagreed. The books crossed the ocean and found a home in his police station.

Sometime in 2014, an India-born philanthropist from the US visited India, visiting Coimbatore and Tirupur in Tamil Nadu. In a light conversation with the Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Tirupur, he mentioned that he wished to donate books for a children’s library in the area. Kids in the United States of America do not read books anymore, he said. They have access to reading material through e-books, which are easily available to them on any electronic device.

“At one time, if a school child wanted to find out information about something for a project, a trip to the central library in town was an essential requirement. Notes were made, rough pictures were drawn and, once home, all this information was put out on charts or on umpteen sheets of paper, which were neatly spiral bound before being submitted in school,” says Mr. Chakravarty, the father of a college-going girl from Coimbartore, who is also a friend of the ACP of Tirupur.

Today, even in developing countries, children have access to all kinds of information on electrical devices. Just having a smart phone is enough to log onto Google from anywhere — and all the data one would want is available online.

However, in the United States and other western countries, in particular, many children have stopped borrowing books from school libraries. There are some people who feel these books may be of use to children in small towns like Tirupur in Tamil Nadu.

It was in this context that the ACP in Tirupur was made the offer of books for a library.

“As soon as this particular philanthropist went back to the US after his Indian sojourn, he transported 5,000 books to Tirupur. Such beautiful books, such a lovely world of information,” says the ACP, who does not wish to be named. “All the policemen in the North Police Station, Tirupur, were spellbound seeing so many books.”

The policemen immediately got down to sorting out the books in various categories. They numbered every one of the books and almost 2,000 of them were donated to the Rotary Club right away.

Picture books were meant for very small children, larger books for older children, children’s novels, novels for adults, reference books on various subjects, some textbooks and even encyclopedias — there were all kinds of books.

These books seemed to have been picked up from the libraries of many American schools and sent to India with the hope that children here would find better use for them. –

Once the books were sorted and numbered, the ACP began looking for a place to set up a library. Unable to find a suitable location, he rearranged the furniture in the large hall in his police station and put shelves filled with books right in the middle of the room.

“Having set up the place, we contacted the principals of the local schools and told them about the library that we have here,” says the ACP. “School children have to bring with them a letter of permission from the principal of the school and we then allow them to borrow books. A register is maintained with information about the child and the books that he/she has borrowed. The borrower is allowed to keep the book for a period of fifteen days,” he adds.

“As soon as the police station opens in the morning, the library too is declared open, and it remains so until the police station closes for the day. Anyone can come and visit the library at any time on a working day,” says one of the constables at the police station.

During the day, when anyone at the police station is bored and find that they have time on their hands, they pick up a book from the library to flip through.

“Most of the constables have very limited knowledge of the English language. They may be able to understand a little, and may even be able to string a few words together to speak a sentence, but their reading and writing skills in English are virtually nil,” continues the constable.

However, flipping through books in any language, especially if they have pictures, is a real pleasure, and most people spend their spare time doing just that, he adds.

“It has been barely three months since the children have been coming here from the school nearby to borrow books,” says the ACP, “and it will take at least a year before we can evaluate how useful it is to have books donated from across the world for the benefit of our children.”

This library, at the Tirupur police station, is an experiment of sorts. If he finds that it is a success, with children gaining from the experience, the ACP proposes connecting with the philanthropist in the US again and getting him to donate some more books to establish other libraries in the state.

A Stupid Criminal Gets Trapped… Watch this Hilarious Video Clip …!!!

October 7, 2015October 7, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

Crime doesn’t pay (but unsuccessful crime caught on camera might make others laugh a whole lot).

Store keeps getting broken into. Owner sets a trap and catches a guy breaking in. Hilarity ensues as the burglar panics and tries to escape.

It’s an unfortunate fact that any business owner, home owner, or human (in general) has to protect themselves against theft. In 2013 alone, there were an estimated 1,928,465 burglaries resulting in about $4.5 billion in property losses. (That’s just in the United States.)

This convenience store owner in particular had been robbed multiple times and was sick of letting the thieves get away. So, he set up a clever trap…and recorded what happened.

How do the Astronauts Sleep in Space….

October 7, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

After months of intense training and a white-knuckled trip through the ozone layer at nine times the speed of a rifle bullet, you can bet that NASA astronauts need to bank some rest.

Space sailors log really long hours throughout their days on tasks that require intense concentration, which is why NASA schedules precisely 8.5 hours of sleep per 24 on deck.

How exactly does ‘nighttime’ play out in space?

Astronauts Pam Melroy, George Zamka, and European Space Agency’s Paolo Nespoli, sleep in their sleeping bags, which are secured on the middeck of the Space Shuttle Discovery while docked with the International Space Station.

The International Space Station (ISS) orbits the Earth at 17,150 miles per hour, clocking one lap around our planet every hour and a half. Doing the math, this means 16 sunsets every 24 hours — a new day every 90 minutes.

Fascinating, yes, but this unrelenting motion can create colossal jet lag and wreak havoc on an astronaut’s internal body clock.

Hence, Mission Control’s strict bedtime schedule and windows-shut policy.

(Though according to one report, snoozing astronauts still see streaks and bursts of bright color caused by high-energy cosmic rays bursting harmlessly onto their retinas.)

What time zone do they use?

To establish to a regular schedule in zero gravity, Mission Control keeps our diurnal astronauts on Greenwich Mean Time.

I’m guessing no cushy mattresses?

The crew members are provided sleep pods that look like padded broom closets. They have custom sleeping sacks fastened to a wall or the ceiling, lest they float about the cabin.

According to retired astronaut Marsha Ivins, who spent 42 days in space on five different missions, their sleeping bag has armholes that allow you to reach outside the bag to zip it up. You then settle yourself in by tightening the attached Velcro straps. If you don’t tuck your appendages into the bag, they’ll drift out in front of you.

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield offers this video tour of his very own sleep sack aboard the ISS. After showing off his astro-PJs you can watch him zip up and close the doors to his pod.

Pillows?

That’s a whole other issue. Though not everyone wants or needs one, Ivins says she did, to help her neck relax. She actually attached her head to a block of foam.

“You put the back of your head on [the ‘pillow’],” she says, “and then you Velcro the front of your head to it.”

What about parasomnias? Any chance of sleepwalking?

Actually there was one reported case of … drifting.

According to a British reporter, one Russian crew member apparently preferred to do without a sleep pod or sleeping bag. His fellow crewmembers, still awake after he turned in, saw him float by — presumably in the midst of sweet dreams. They watched him “bouncing off the walls, his course set by the air currents that gently pushed and pulled him.”

Do they end up getting their hard eight?

No. As hard as they try to get comfy, most astronauts don’t get enough rest. Many are routinely sleep deficient, logging just six hours of sleep every 24 hours.

However, some astronauts speculate that these short sleep sessions may be the result of the body’s feeling less fatigued in a microgravity environment. Less fatigue may equal less sleep need.

Do they report any weird dreams?

According to dream studies conducted aboard the Russian space shuttle Mir, astronauts experience significantly diminished REM sleep in space compared to us Earthlings. They are therefore continually monitored for any and all ill effects.

“Efforts are planned to understand more fully the spaceflight environment and the role that other factors may play in reducing or promoting sleep,” said Lauren Leveton, PhD, senior research scientist in NASA’s Behavioral Health and Performance Division.

Who wakes them up when it’s ‘morning’?

During the 30-year space shuttle program, which ended in 2011, it was a NASA tradition to have wake-up calls during the shuttle missions. Each “morning” at the scheduled wake-up time, ground operations broadcast a song into the space shuttle cabin. A wide range of musical styles were played, including rock, pop, western and classical.

Each song was selected for a particular astronaut. Sometimes the astronauts requested the tune; other times their families selected a song with special meaning.

Unfortunately, the wake-up service is not available on the ISS. There, the crew must use a regular alarm clock.

This Ashram Left A Lasting Impression On The Minds Of Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs.

October 2, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

During the town hall meeting with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mark Zuckerberg revealed an interesting fact about him and Steve Jobs that made them successful.

Deeply influenced by the Indian spiritualism in the 70s, Steve Jobs, once a college drop-out used to visit Kainchi Dham Ashram, in Nainital, Uttarakhand.

It is believed that in the Ashram of Neeb Karori (often called Neem Karoli) Baba, Jobs got his enlightenment to build Apple.

Facebook, launched in 2004, had its fair share of dark days during the initial years. It was Steve Jobs, Zuckerberg went to during those hard times. Apparently, he followed most of Job’s advice when his company was going through a rough patch and it might have inspired him to turn into a visionary.

The Facebook CEO spent a month in India and spent two days in the Ashram which is a small temple complex on the banks of the Kosi, a river in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand.

This is what he revealed in front of Modi and the whole world:

“…he (Jobs) told me that in order to reconnect with what I believed as the mission of the company I should visit this temple that he had gone to in India early on in his evolution of thinking about what he wanted Apple and his vision of the future to be. So I went and I travelled for almost a month, and seeing people, seeing how people connected, and having the opportunity to feel how much better the world could be if everyone has a strong ability to connect reinforced for me the importance of what we were doing and that is something I’ve always remembered over the last 10 years as we’ve built Facebook.”

Though Neeb Karori Baba passed away in 1973, his followers include some well-known personalities, including Hollywood actress Julia Roberts and Larry Brilliant, former director of Google.org.

His ashram went on to transform two unknown faces into billionaires – Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg.

Amazing, isn’t it?

கூகுள் சி.இ.ஓ. சுந்தர் பிச்சையுடன் கைகுலுக்கும் பிரதமர் மோடி. | படம்: பிடிஐ.

சிலிகான் வேலியில் பிரதமர் நரேந்திர மோடி பேசுகையில், ஒரு வரியில் எல்லோரும் கவரும் வகையில் டிஜிட்டல் தொழில்நுட்பம் பற்றி பல கருத்துகளை தெரிவித்தார். அதைக் கேட்டு பிரபல நிறுவன தலைமை செயல் அதிகாரிகள் (சிஇஓ) ஆச்சரியம் அடைந்தனர்.

* நீங்கள் விழித்திருக்கிறீர்களா, தூங்குகிறீர்களா என்பது இப்போது முக்கியமில்லை.

* நீங்கள் ஆன்லைனில் இருக்கிறீர்களா ஆப் லைனில் இருக்கிறீர்களா என்பது முக்கியம்.

அமெரிக்காவில் சுற்றுப்பயணம் மேற்கொண்டுள்ள பிரதமர் நரேந்திர மோடி சிலிக்கான் வேலியில் நேற்று நடந்த டிஜிட்டல் இந்தியா கூட்டத்தில் பேசினார். கூகுள், மைக்ரோசாப்ட், சிஸ்கோ உட்பட பல முன்னணி நிறுவனங்களைச் சேர்ந்த தலைமை செயல் அதிகாரிகள் உட்பட நூற்றுக்கணக்கானோர் கலந்து கொண்டனர்.

அவர்கள் மத்தியில் மோடி பேசுகையில், டிஜிட்டல் தொழில்நுட்ப புரட்சி பற்றியும் அதன் பயன்கள் குறித்தும் பல கருத்துகளை ஒரு ஒரு வரியாக எல்லோரையும் கவரும் வகையில் குறிப்பிட்டார். அதன் விவரம் வருமாறு:

* உலகில் ஒவ்வொருவரின் வாழ்க்கை முறையையும் மாற்றியுள்ளது சிலிகான் வேலி.

* உங்களில் பலரை டெல்லி, நியூயார்க், முகநூல், ட்விட்டர், இன்ஸ்டாகிராம் ஆகியவற்றில் சந்தித்துள்ளேன்.

* முகநூல் உட்பட இவைதான் நமது உலகின் அண்டை வீட்டாராக உள்ளன.

* முகநூல் மட்டும் ஒரு நாடாக இருந்திருந்தால், அதுதான் மக்கள் தொகை அதிகம் கொண்ட 3-வது நாடாக இருந்திருக்கும்.

* கூகுள் ஆசிரியர்களை குறைத்துவிட்டது. மிகவும் விரும்பப்படுவதாக உள்ளது.

* ட்விட்டர் எல்லோரையும் நிருபர்களாக்கி உள்ளது.

* போக்குவரத்து விளக்குகள் வேலை செய்ய சிஸ்கோவின் ரவுட்டர்கள்தான் சிறந்தவை.

* நமது இளைஞர்களின் விவாதம் எல்லாம் ஆண்ட்ராய்டு, ஐஓஎஸ் அல்லது விண்டோஸ் பற்றியதாகவே உள்ளது.

* இவை எல்லாம் சிலிகான் வேலியில் உள்ள உங்களால்தான் சாத்தியமாகி இருக்கின்றன.

இவ்வாறு மோடி பேசினார்.

அவர் ஒவ்வொரு வரிகளாக சொல்லச் சொல்ல, பிரபல நிறுவனங்களின் அதிகாரிகள் ஆரவாரம் செய்து மகிழ்ச்சியை வெளிப்படுத்தினர்.

தன்னுடைய சொந்த வாழ்க்கையை உதாரணமாகக் கூறி, இந்தியாவில் உள்ள கிராம பெண்கள்கூட இப்போது தொழில்நுட்பத்தைப் பற்றி தெரிந்து வைத்துள்ளனர் என்று மோடி மகிழ்ச்சி தெரிவித்தார்.

மோடி மேலும் பேசுகையில் கூறியதாவது:

நீண்ட பயணம் செய்யாமல், சாகசம் செய்யாமல், சிறிய தீவில் உள்ளவர்களைக் கூட தொடர்பு கொள்ள டிஜிட்டல் தொழில்நுட்பம் உதவி உள்ளது. ஆப்பிரிக்காவில் இருந்து கொண்டு செல்போன் மூலம் பணத்தை வேறு ஒருவர் கணக்குக்கு மாற்ற முடிகிறது.

இந்தியாவில் குக்கிராமத்தில் உள்ள ஒரு தாய், தனக்கு பிறந்த குழந்தையை எளிதில் காப்பாற்ற முடிகிறது. குக்கிராமத்தில் உள்ள குழந்தை நல்ல கல்வியை பெற முடிகிறது. இவை எல்லாமே டிஜிட்டல் புரட்சியால்தான்.

சான் பிரான்சிஸ்கோவில் உள்ள ஒருவர், இந்தியாவில் உடல்நலம் இல்லாமல் உள்ள தனது பாட்டியுடன் தினமும் ஸ்கைப் மூலம் பேசி ஆறுதல் சொல்கிறார். விவசாயிகள் தங்கள் நிலத்தின் மதிப்பை அறிந்துகொள்ள முடிகிறது, மீனவர்கள் அதிக மீன்களைப் பிடிக்க முடிகிறது. ‘செல்பி வித் டாட்டர்’ என்ற தலைப்பில் தனது மகளுடன் புகைப்படம் எடுத்து ஹரியாணாவைச் சேர்ந்த தந்தை வெளியிடுகிறார். அதன் மூலம் அனைவரின் கவனத்தையும் கவர்ந்து விழிப்புணர்வு ஏற்படுத்த முடிகிறது.

இவை எல்லாமே சிலிகான் வேலியில் இருந்து கொண்டு நீங்கள் செய்யும் டிஜிட்டல் புரட்சியால்தான்.

இவ்வாறு மோடி பேசினார்.மோடியின் பேச்சைக் கேட்ட பிரபல நிறுவன அதிகாரிகள் ஆச்சரியமும் மகிழ்ச்சியும் அடைந்தனர்.
