Stary Sky Overnite Camping

I always been into star gazing fascination and with utmost curiosity have been tapping info of stars,galaxies,constellations,comets. In childhood dad would accompany me to city planetarium and was amazed to see all those revolving models of Venus,Mars,Saturn. A short-film on stars/planets was a on special screening there. I'm a Software Engineer but aesthetically explore interests in theater acting, writing articles, treking, astronomy and many more.

I'm member of an amateur astro-club in mumbai www.khagolmandal.com. They have been conducting regular sessions on astronomy, which is attended by enthusiatic club members (+300). On 21st March 2009, at 19.00 hrs (IST) "Stary Sky Overnite Camping" began at Chavan Farm House,Tarangan Marg,Vangani (approx 12 away km from Mumbai). I went there with one of my friend Virender and accompanied there another friend Arun, who has been attending such camps. And we all shared the common passion-Wonders of Astronomy.

The session began with introduction of planets,stars,galaxies etc. Then with the help of laser beam torch they pointed out Pole star,Orion Nebula, Milky Way galaxy,Artificial Satellite. Well it was magnificent and was amazed at the very glance of it. We trekkers were lyin on the ground to catch up with the glimpse of wonderful stary sky. After 2 hrs we had a dinner break, well we friends had some marathi food. Then we had slide show session for planetary information under the sky and about the sky After much of soaked up sessions, we finally had a telescope session I was really thrilled, me and my friends were waiting for it too. It was amazing to see Comet Lulin and Andromeda galaxy Then we again information exchange session, where the club veteran members discussed various astronomical objects,types of telescopes etc. After a short tea break around 2.00 am (IST) we again gathered for telescopic view of Saturn and Orion Nebula. With Earth on its rotation, telescope was tapping up with it too, every second the position of Saturn on telescope will move with the rotation of Earth. This was something terrific to witness. Our last session at 3.00 am (IST) was QnA, where we all had all sorts of queries like "Why do we have rounded shape heavnly bodies?","What is the end of universe?","How planets form?","Can we reach stars?" and many fantasy based questions too like "Do aliens exist?" ! This one was the second most intresting session after telescope one. Now it was 4 am (IST) and we headed for home.

It's been great camping for stars and planets we just see from earth. To carry forward this interest I be soon visiting the city planetarium www.nehru-centre.org

Terror Attacks

We all have condemned the on-going terrorist attacks. This act of barbarism is globally criticized for inhuman and terror inflow, keeping us from make a better and peacful world to live-in.
But not only do we need to criticize them, now its time we need to act stern on them too. How long we just gonna involve in wait-n-watch game for another terror attack, and weep only when our very near and dear ones are blown-out of RDX?

I believe that all of us are sensible pro-active citizens of nation, and so do expect that all of us act on this terrorism. It's time that we uproot and replace the current obsolete filthy system with new powerful system to fight the terrorism.

Initiate the change revolution:

1. Youth needs to come up and take ahead the nation in new and better world replacing the current filthy political parties. All over the nation and in each city, Youth needs to connect and make leaders to become the preferrable genuine voteable candidate. Till we stand on our own we can't rescue our own people.

2. Make politicians more accountable to the nation. We should always remember that political leaders are legally recruited to serve the nation and we pay them in form of taxes too. Leaders need to sign and legally abide by, what they promise before they are elected, only then then can come the power to serve us. We can file petition for this.

3. Police,ATS like security organisations must work as an independent and autonomous body, free from political interference. Such organizations must have all resources to update its force for best security measures. A major chunk of national income need to be divereted to them. Transparancy is needed in our system to rest assured, that such security organizations are highly-equipped to protect the nation. We can file petition for this.

Above are few change measures that we need to initiate if we really looking forward to better nation ahead.

Please upsurge and team-up for better future for all us. TIME TO ACT NOW.
