MAN OF THE MILLENNIUM - MAHATMA GANDHI

Image
  Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the Indian Lawyer, the Father of the Nation universally recognized as Mahatma in the eyes of millions was born on 2nd October 1869 in Porbandar.  A worshiper of God Vishnu, follower of Jainism, leader of India's independence movement, believer in non-violence, fasting, meditation and a vegetarianism shook the world in his own gentle way.   Gandhiji  came across many injustice done to him and to Indians . He vowed to root out the deep disease of color prejudice and suffer hardships to fight against discrimination.  He wrote to the British Viceroy Lord Irwin "My ambition is no less than to convert the British people through non-violence and thus make them see the wrong they have done to India".   His life and teachings inspired activists including Martin Luther King Jr and Nelson Mandela. In 1930 Time's Magazine named him "Man of the Year" In 2007 the UN declared Gandhiji's birthday 2nd Oct as The International Day of Non Vi...

KNOW INTERNATIONAL TRANSLATION DAY SEPT 30

Image
EVERY COUNTRY IS UNIQUE  CONSIDERING THE VALUES OF CULTURE, HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY, LANGUAGE AND SO ON.  LANGUAGES VARY BETWEEN HUMAN CULTURE BUT ARE LEARNED AND CULTURALLY TRANSMITTED OVER GENERATIONS .  A TRANSLATOR IS SOMEONE WHO CONVERTS THE WRITTEN WORD FROM ONE LANGUAGE TO ANOTHER. HE IS NOT THE ORIGINAL WRITER OF THE TEXT BEING TRANSLATED BUT IT READS AS THOUGH IT WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN THE TARGET LANGUAGE.  THIS NEEDS A LARGE AMOUNT OF CONCENTRATION AND EXPERTISE . TRANSLATORS ARE LANGUAGE PROFESSIONALS AND COMPETENT WRITERS.  THEY COMMUNICATE WITH THE CLIENT AND KNOW WHEN TO ASK QUESTIONS.  THE MAIN ROLE OF A LANGUAGE TRANSLATOR IS TO AUTHOR A PIECE OF WRITING.  THERE ARE PROFESSIONALS WHO WORK ON PROJECTS OF INTERNATIONAL IMPORTANCE.  THESE RANGE FROM NEGOTIATIONS AND CONTRACTS ENTERED INTO BY HUGE MULTINATIONAL COMP[ANIES . BUSINESSES AROUND THE GLOBE IS IMPOSSIBLE UNLESS YOU KNOW OR SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE. WHEN BUSINESS FLOURISH THE ECONO...

आइए, आज 29 सितंबर 'विश्व हृदय दिवस' पर जानते हैं दिल से जुड़े कुछ रोचक तथ्य :

Image
  दिल के बारे में हमने कितना कुछ सुना हैं।   लोगो ने तो काफी गाने या शेरो शायरी दिल के ऊपर बनाये हैं।    दिल चीज़ क्या हैं आप मेरी जान लीजिये  ,बस एक बार मेरा कहा मान लीजिये ।   दोस्तों दिल  हृदय या हार्ट के मायने अलग-अलग मिजाज के लोगों के लिए अलग हो सकते हैं। लेकिन इस बात से कोई इंकार नहीं कर सकता कि सीने के बाईं ओर धड़कता पान के आकार का यह छोटा-सा अंग, शरीर में खून साफ करने का काम करता है। दिल रुबा मैंने तेरे प्यार में क्या क्या न किया दिलबर दिल दिया दर्द लिया । दिल का तात्‍पर्य केवल प्यार और रोमांस ही नहीं है, अपने दिल से सिर्फ किसी और को ही प्यार न करें बल्कि अपने दिल को भी प्यार करें। यह जीवनभर आपका साथ निभाता है। दिल ऐसा किसी ने मेरा तोडा बर्बादी की तरफ ऐसे मोड़ा   ।  दिल की हिफाजत  की जरूरत तो हर कोई समझता है, लेकिन इसके लिए प्रयास करने वाले लोग कम ही हैं। यही वजह है कि एक समय वृद्धावस्था में घेरने वाली दिल की बीमारी आज छोटी उम्र के लोगों को भी अपना शिकार बना रही है। आज की भागदौड़ भरी जिंदगी में हर व्यक्ति तनाव से घिरा ...

THERE ARE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DEAF PEOPLE AROUND THE GLOBE.  THESE PEOPLE USE OVER 300 DIFFERENT SIGN LANGUAGES.  THEY ARE OF COURSE CAPABLE, TALENTED AND GREAT PROBLEM-SOLVERS. THERE IS ALSO AN INTERNATIONAL SIGN LANGUAGE WHERE THE DEAF PEOPLE USE WHEN THEY ARE TRAVELLING, SOCIALIZING OR WHEN THEY ATTEND INTERNATIONAL MEETINGS.  THEY SHOULD BE GIVEN CREDIT AND IMPORTANCE.   MANY PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZE THAT SIGN LANGUAGES AR NATURAL FULLY-FLEDGED LANGUAGES.  IF WE HAD NO VOICE NOR TONGUE AND WE WANTED TO EXPRESS THINGS TO ONE ANOTHER , WOULDN'T WE MAKE SIGNS BY MOVING OUR HANDS, HEAD AND THE REST OF OUR BODY JUST LIKE DUMB PEOPLE.  EVERY LANGUAGE IS A WORLD.  IT SHAPES THE WAY WE THINK AND DETERMINES WHAT WE CAN THINK ABOUT.
