Dr.Radhakrishnan was nominated 16 times for the Noble Prize in Literature and nearly 11 times for Noble Peace Prize . The First book of Dr.Radhakrishnan was about the Philosophy of Rabindranath Tagore. He was appointed as a spalding Professor of Eastern Religions and Ethics at the University of Oxford . Oxford University started the Radhakrishnan Chevening Scholarships and the Radhakrishnan Memorial Award. He was elected as Chairman of UNISCO 's Executive board. At the age of 16 Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan married Sivakamu. For almost 51 years, Radhakrishnan and Sivakamu were blissfully married. Dr.Radhakrishnan students were so fond of him that he was taken to the Railway Station from the University in a flower decked carriage pulled by his students from University of Mysore . Dr.Radhakrishnan accepted only Rs.2500 out of Rs.10,000 salary and the Remaining amount was donated to the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund every month during his tenure as the President of India....

         Generally Vinayaka Chathurthi is celebrated during the month of August or September just before the setting of Northeast monsoon in October.         The dry summer would have made water sources porous and rivers might have been running shallowly. Thus the clay from the idols when suspended in water would form a colloid that would coagulate the pores and form a layer that has very fine pores.         Water would find it difficult to move towards gravity in such a condition and thus sort to lateral imbibitions. This would naturally lead to increase and rise in the ground water level on the setting up of the monsoon. Our ancestors approached everything with a scientific knowledge.           

                                RO (Reverse Osmosis) water filtration is one of the most popular and cost-effective water filtration method.   In simple terms, a reverse osmosis water filter works as water is forced across a semi-permeable membrane, leaving contaminants behind that are flushed down the drain. The clean drinking water collects in a holding tank. RO filtration method are as follows: A sediment filter to trap particles, including rust and calcium carbonate  A second sediment filter with smaller pores An activated carbon  filter to trap organic chemicals and chlorine, which will attack and degrade certain types of thin-film composite membrane. Optionally, an ultraviolet  lamp for sterilizing any microbes that may escape filtering by the reverse osmosis membrane. Optionally, a second carbon filter to capture tho...

What is Alcohol?           Ethanol is simply called as Alcohol. Its also referred as Ethyl alcohol or Grain alcohol - the Primary ingredient in alcoholic bevvies. Ethanol is a colorless liquid that is a byproduct of plant fermentation. Ethanol is formed when yeast ferments the sugar in plants.  The Maximum of Alcohol percentage in beverages is 70-95% (Vodka). What happens to Human body?          Alcohol is mainly a depressant, but it actually has stimulating effects when you first start drinking. It begins to do its work as earlier, it reaches your mouth, and its effects become more noticeable as the alcohol makes its way through your body.  Mouth : As soon as alcohol passes your lips, some of it gets into your bloodstream through the tiny blood vessels in your mouth and tongue. Stomach and Small Intestine : Up to 20% of the Alcohol you drink goes into your bloodstream through your stomach. The rest of it gets in your bl...

            Chemistry plays an important role in determining the current state and the predictions of the future state of earth's climate because a large number of agents that force earth's climate are chemically active. Chemical processes in the atmosphere to determine the abundances and properties of atmospheric forcing agents.           The atmosphere enables life on Earth. It is a relatively thin layer of gases surrounding our planet. The life-sustaining composition of the atmosphere is unique compared to other planets in the solar system. By volume, dry air is a mixture of various gases. Due to gravity, air density decreases with altitude. Because of Photochemical Reactions initiated by the absorption of energy from sunlight, the constituents of dry air vary in the different layers of the atmosphere.           The major constituents of air are Nitrogen (78%), Oxygen (21%), Argon (1%...

                                     Antoine Lavoisier I consider nature a vast chemical laboratory in which combustion and decomposition are formed.                                                                                              - Antoine Lavoisier Unknown and interesting Facts:  Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier was born to a wealthy family of nobility in Paris on 26 August 1743. The son of an attorney at Parliament of Paris. At the school, his scientific interests were aroused, and studied chemistry, botany, astronomy and mathematics.  He was able to spend much of his three years ...

 Acids in fruits What is Acid?          A typical substance that neutralizes alkalis, dissolves some metals, turn blue litmus red, typically  corrosive or sour-tasting liquid of this kind. An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen ( H + ) ions when it is added to water. A hydrogen ion is just a proton and no electron.          Even human body contains Acid for its various purpose. The most important acids of human body are amino acids, fatty acids, ascorbic acids and hydrochloric acids.  Acids in fruits          Acids are present in most of the fruits.  It's not healthy habit to have fruits in empty stomach. For example, if you drink milk in empty stomach, you might suffer from acid re-flux. The increase in production of stomach acid and weakened stomach muscle in esophagus are main cause of acid re-flux. milk also causes acidity. Likewise, fruits also cause some acidity in empty stomach, ...
