Yash Pal for life-related science books Chandigarh, October 17 The function was organised by the Department of Biotechnology, Panjab University, to celebrate 50 years of discovery of DNA by Watson and Crick. Prof Yash pal said the tragedy of the Indian system was that syllabi books were loaded with unrelated examples which made science sound difficult to comprehend. All principles have examples in daily life which will make comprehension easy and interesting. Prof Yash Pal asked the big gathering at the Physics auditorium to pose questions. Some of the questions included why only one face of the moon was visible on earth? Why height of Mt Everest was rising? and how earth, sun and life came into existence? Answering ‘difficult questions’, he said one beautiful aspect of life was that the more we understand the more we know how much we do not understand. Cultural heritage of the world was amazing and lent new colours at each step showing only a part of the whole beauty. In the school category, the team of Ishita Jindal and Charu Puri from Vivek High School won the quiz contest.

Surya Parkash is in Bar again Chandigarh, October 17 The house, at a meeting held on August 28 last year, had initially resolved to issue notice to Dr Parkash asking him to show cause why he should not be removed from the membership for filing the petition. He had subsequently received a letter from the then honorary secretary stating that he was being removed from the membership in view of the resolution passed by the general house. Challenging the action, Dr Parkash had sought the initiation of contempt proceedings against then honorary secretary Sanjeev Manrai. In his petition, Dr Parkash had stated that the respondent had been pressurising the members into following him in an attempt to scandalise and lower the authority of the court by passing resolutions against the Judges and by resorting to strikes. Dr Parkash had added that he did not succumb to the pressure and filed a petition challenging the withdrawal of work from the Judges. As he did not become a party to certain contemptuous resolutions, he was divested of the membership, the petitioner asserted. |

Partition
saga re-enacted SAS Nagar, October 17 Although the theme has been over the past few years written and re-written by many writers and researchers, the pathos of Amrita Pritam’s diction was discernible from the dialogues delivered effectively and strongly by the group of actors directed by Dr Sahib Singh. Interspersed by songs penned by Sheryar on music by Jatinder Singh, the play left many with tears in their eyes. ‘‘Stories of Partition have a special meaning for many Punjabis, specially as they can relate to them instantly. If they have not suffered directly, they have heard shocking tales of horror and communal strife at its peak from their parents.’’said a spectator. Organised jointly by the NZCC, Patiala, and the Adakar Manch, Mohali, the play was dedicated to all those women who had been converted into ‘Pinjar’ by Partition. ‘‘Now since I have seen the play which has been a moving experience I and looking forward to the film. Let’s see if it can better this effort,
’’said another spectator. |
