Ghulam Nabi Azad praises PM Modi for being ‘frank’ about his past as ‘tea-seller’
Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Sunday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for being a leader who did not hide his past. “I like many things about many leaders. I am from a village and feel proud about it. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi also says he is from a village, would do small-time jobs and sell tea. Politically, we may be rivals, but the fact is [that] he does not hide his past reality,” Mr. Azad said at a function in Jammu. He said those who hide their past “live in an illusionary world”, without naming any leader. “A man should be proud of who he is. I have travelled to many countries and stayed in five star hotels across the world. But when I visit my village, the smell there is always pleasant. It smells different,” Mr. Azad said. Mr. Azad’s remarks came at a time the Congress grouping known as G-23 held a grand meeting in Jammu on Saturday, with many leaders pitching him to lead the party. Many saw the G-23 meeting here as an open rebellion against ... » Learn More about Ghulam Nabi Azad praises PM Modi for being ‘frank’ about his past as ‘tea-seller’
It pays to be ‘fossil hunters’: GSI
Palaeontology is not as adventurous as the Indiana Jones or the Lara Croft franchise makes it seem. But seeking fossils could translate into a high-yielding job in sectors such as oil and gas, scientists at the Geological Survey of India (GSI) say. Palaeontology, a branch within geology, is the study of prehistoric organisms that thrived in the biosphere of the earth and later transformed into fossils after burial. Many of these organisms — the dinosaurs, for instance — are extinct while many others still survive or are extant. Experts say palaeontology is crucial for revealing the geological history as well as defining the evolutionary patterns of life that survived on earth through the geological ages. While constructing the stratigraphy of a basin, fossil records play the key role in defining the age of the different lithological horizons with the help of its diagnostic fossil assemblages. Stratigraphy is the order and relative position of strata and their relationship to the ... » Learn More about It pays to be ‘fossil hunters’: GSI
