Helen Adams Keller was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama, on June 27, 1880. Her parents were Captain Arthur H. Keller and Katherine Adams Keller. Her father was a veteran of the confederate army (army that fought to separate from the United States during the Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865). He also was the editor of the local newspaper, the North Alabamian. Helen was born a normal child. She started speaking when she was six months old. By the time she was a year old, she was able to communicate with her parents and she had also learned to walk. When Helen was eighteen months old an illness developed that the doctor described as brain congestion. She ran a high fever for many days, and then the fever was gone. Helen was left deaf and blind from the illness. Helen became a very wild, unruly child. She would scream and kick when she was angry and giggle and laugh when happy. She developed many of her own signals to communicate her needs with her parents.


When Helen was six, her mother contacted Dr. Alexander Graham Bell (1847–1922), whom she had heard was working on devices to help the deaf. Bell met with Helen and her parents and suggested that they contact the Perkins Institute for the Blind in Boston, Massachusetts. In March 1887 Anne Sullivan (1866–1936), a teacher at the institute,Anne Sullivan was with Helen day and night, Helen wanted to learn to speak, and in 1890 she began taking speech classes at the Horace Mann School for the Deaf in Boston. She worked diligently at learning to speak. After twenty-five years of hard work and practice, Helen was able to speak in a voice that others could understand. From 1894 to 1896 Helen attended the Wright-Humason School for the Deaf. Here she continued to work on improving her communication, as well as her math, French, German, and geography.



As a young woman Keller became determined to learn about the world and to improve the lives of others. With insight, energy, and deep devotion to humanity, 
Keller associated with some of the greatest people of her time,

अनोखी पहल

मिसाल: लड़कियों के सुरक्षित सफर के लिए 

राजस्थान के दंपती की अनोखी पहल

निशुल्क बेटी वाहिनी बस से सफर करती छात्राएं














दो साल पहले शिशुरोग विशेषज्ञ डॉ. रामेश्वर प्रसाद यादव राजस्थान में अपने गांव चुरि जा रहे थे, जब उन्होंने रास्ते में बारिश में भीगती 4 लड़कियों को सड़क किनारे देखा। उनकी पत्नी तारावती ने उन लड़कियों को लिफ्ट ऑफर की। उनसे बातचीत में पता चला कि लड़कियां अपने कॉलेज गई थीं जो 18 किमी दूर कोटपुतली में स्थित है लेकिन फिर भी उनकी उपस्थिति बेहद कम है। इसकी वजह इलाके में अक्सर होने वाली तेज बारिश नहीं बल्कि लड़कियों को इलाके के पथरीले, गर्म और धूलभरे रास्ते पर 3 से 6 किमी तक पैदल चलना होता है, तब जाकर वह पब्लिक बस स्टॉप पहुंच पाती हैं, जहां से उन्हें कोटपुतली जाने वाली बस मिलती है।

एक छात्रा ने उन्हें बताया, 'बस में लड़के अक्सर हमसे बुरा व्यवहार करते हैं।' उनकी कहानी दंपती के दिल को छू गई। रामेश्वर प्रसाद बताते हैं, 'जब हम घर पहुंचे तो मेरी पत्नी ने पूछा कि अपन कुछ कर सकते हैं क्या? इसके बाद उन्होंने दूसरा सवाल किया कि अगर हमारी बेटी आज जिंदा होती तो उसकी पढ़ाई और शादी में हम कितना खर्च करते, करीब 20 लाख रुपये?'

डॉ. रामेश्वर बताते हैं, 'और इस तरह हमने उनके लिए एक बस खरीदने का फैसला किया।' रिटायर्ड सरकारी डॉक्टर रामेश्वर ने अपने सामान्य पीएफ से 17 लाख रुपये निकाले जो कि कुल पीएफ सेविंग का 75 फीसदी था। उन्होंने अपनी सेविंग से इसमें 2 लाख रुपये जोड़कर 19 लाख रुपये की एक सफेद टाटा स्टारबस खरीदी।

यह बस मध्य राजस्थान के जयपुर जिले के चुरि, पावला, कायमपुरा बास और बनेती गांवों की लड़कियों को कॉलेज तक पिक और ड्रॉप करती है। रामेश्वर ने उन चारों छात्राओं को 2016 में इसके उद्घाटन के लिए आमंत्रित किया था। तारावती बताती हैं, 'हमारी बेटी की मौत के बाद हम कुछ सोचने समझने की स्थिति में नहीं थे लेकिन अब ऐसा लगता है कि सब कुछ पूरा हो गया।'


बेटी की पहले ही मौत हो गई थी

दंपती की शादी काफी कम उम्र में हो गई थी और जब तारा 18 साल की हुईं तो उन्होंने एक बेटी हेमलता को जन्म दिया। 1976 में रामेश्वर मेडिकल एंट्रेस टेस्ट की तैयारी कर रहे थे जब उनकी बेटी को तेज बुखार हो गया। वह बताते हैं, 'मेरी पत्नी उसे एक डॉक्टर के पास ले गई जिसने बेटी को एक इजेंक्शन दिया।'

वह उस खौफनाक पल को याद करते हुए बताते हैं, 'उसका शरीर नीला पड़ गया था और जल्द ही उसकी मौत हो गई।' इस सदमे से उबरने के लिए दोनों पति-पत्नी को काफी चुनौतियों का सामना करना पड़ा। वह कहते हैं, 'हम एक बेटी चाहते हैं लेकिन उसके बाद हमें 3 बेटे हुए। लेकिन अब महसूस होता कि मेरे पास 50 हेमलता हो गई हैं।'

बस में छेड़खानी की वजह से लड़कियों को कॉलेज जाना नहीं था पसंद
40 सीटों वाली यह बस लड़कियों के लिए वरदान है जिन्हें रोज-रोज छेड़खानी झेलने की वजह से पब्लिक बस से कॉलेज जाना पसंद नहीं था। उनकी रोज की असुविधाजनक यात्रा से उनकी अटेंडेंस में असर पड़ता था। कॉलेज में गृह विज्ञान पढ़ाने वाली यामिनी चतुर्वेदी बताती हैं, 'पैरंट्स अक्सर पूछते हैं कि उन्हें रोज-रोज कॉलेज जाने की क्या जरूरत है।' वह एक गरीब माता-पिता के मामले को याद करते हुए बताती हैं जो अपनी बेटी को अकेले कॉलेज भेजने के लिए बेहद चिंतित रहते थे। वह अक्सर कॉल करके पूछते थे कि अगर कॉलेज में लेक्चर हो तो ही वह अपनी वह बेटी को भेजें।

कक्षा में छात्राओं की संख्या में इजाफा

निशुल्क बेटी वाहिनी सेवा की वजब से अब क्लास में लड़कियों की संख्या में इजाफा हुआ है। कोटपुतली के श्रीमति पाना देवी गर्ल्स कॉलेज की बीए सेकंड ईयर की छात्रा अमन वर्मा बताती हैं कि वह अब रोज 40 रुपये और 1 घंटे का समय बचाती हैं। वह कहती हैं, 'मेरी उपस्थिति भी दोगुनी हो गई है।' रिटायर्ड टीचर विष्णु दत्त कहते हैं कि अब उन्हें इस बात कि फिक्र नहीं होती कि उनकी तीनों बेटियां कॉलेज से घर कैसे पहुंचेंगी।

इस इलाके में जहां पैरंट्स अपनी बच्चियों की सुरक्षा के लिए चिंतित रहते हैं वहां एक बस ड्राइवर को चुनना भी बेहद सावधानी भरा काम था। ड्राइवर की नौकरी के लिए रामेश्वर के पास पड़ोसी गांवों के 4 ड्राइवरों ने आवेदन किया। उन्होंने बस सर्विस के लिए रजिस्टर करने वाले 37 लड़कियों के अभिवावकों से चारों में से किसी एक ड्राइवर को चुनने को कहा। उनमें से लगभग 34 ने लक्ष्मण सिंह का नाम लिया। अब यह संख्या 62 हो गई है।

अब प्राइवेट क्लीनिक चलाते हैं रामेश्वर

ड्राइवर को सचेत किया गया है कि किसी भी पुरुष को बस में चढ़ने न दिया जाए। रामेश्वर कहते हैं, 'मैं भी बस में नहीं चढ़ता। एक बार तो लड़कियों को घर छोड़ते वक्त ड्राइवर ने मुझे भी सड़क पर नजरअंदाज किया। मैंने खुश होकर उसे 100 रुपये का इनाम दिया।' पिछले साल जुलाई में सरकारी सेवा से रिटायर होने के बाद डॉक्टर नीम का थाना से करीब 50 किमी दूर एक प्राइवेट क्लीनिक चलाते हैं। हालांकि वह रोड टैक्स देने पर दुखी नजर आते हैं।

बस सर्विस से मिली लड़कियों को सपनों की उड़ान

वह कहते हैं, 'मैं हर महीने ड्राइवर, कंडक्टर सहित डीजल के पैसे के लिए 36 हजार रुपये खर्च करता हूं। अथॉरिटी ने टोल माफ कर दिया था लेकिन फिर भी मुझे 5 हजार रुपये हर महीने रोड टैक्स देना पड़ता है।' वह कहते हैं, 'मैंने अथॉरिटी को टैक्स माफ करने के लिए पत्र लिखा है लेकिन यह बेकार गया।'

बस सर्विस को अब एक साल पूरे हो चुके हैं और कई लड़कियों ने अपने सपनों की उड़ान भरनी शुरू कर दी है। बनेती की पूजा दिल्ली पुलिस में शामिल होना चाहती हैं। अमन नर्स बनना चाहती हैं। काजल आर्मी जॉइन करना चाहती हैं। यह एक संदेश हैं। वह कहते हैं, 'मैं चाहता हूं कि यह बस दूसरों को कुछ सकारात्मक करने के लिए प्रेरित करे। रामेश्वर खुद 12 साल पुरानी मारुति 800 चलाते हैं।'

Stephen Hawking

2. Stephen Hawking 

Stephen William Hawking
One of the greatest scientists living on the planet today, Stephen Hawking needs no introduction. With science geeks and the non-scientific population of the world, he is equally popular, widely known and often compared to scientists like Einstein and Galileo. A theoretical cosmologist and physicist, Stephen Hawking is the director of research at the Centre For Theoretical Cosmology in the University of Cambridge today.
Hawking is most popular for his theories in the field of cosmology, in which he uses Einstein’s relativity theory and quantum mechanics. His book, A brief history of Time in which he explains his cosmology theories in a very simple manner understandable by the layman had been the bestseller for a really long time of 237 weeks. This book was what made him more reachable to the non-scientific masses along with the fact that he makes constant guest appearances on popular TV shows such as The Simpsons and Star Trek.

Childhood

Stephen Hawking was born to the also-highly-educated Frank and Isobel Hawking both of who went to Oxford. His father Frank specialized in Medicine and Isobel, in Philosophy and Economics. Stephen, who was one among four of kids of the Hawking couple was surprisingly not very good at academics as he was at learning things in general. Although teachers often dismissed him off for his poor performance in academics, they knew that there was a hidden genius in him, which is probably why he was nicknamed ‘Einstein’ while in school.

Career

He was expected to take on the same path as his father in medicinal research but did not find biology interesting as he thought it was ‘too inexact’. Instead, he studied physics at University of Oxford and later, Astronomy and Cosmology at the Trinity Hall, Cambridge. During his days in Cambridge, Hawking was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) which would progress as he grew older. Today, he still communicates effectively despite the disease using a system known as the equalizer. Although he can only communicate with about 15 words per a minute because of his disease, he’s authored books, given lectures and written a lot of scientific papers.
Stephen Hawking is also known for bearing the position of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, a title previously held by Sir Isaac Newton. He had also won numerous awards and honours for his work. He had received nearly twelve honorary degrees and is a fellow of The Royal Society and a member of The US National Academy of Sciences. In 2009, President Obama awarded him with the highest honorary award, thePresidential Medal of Freedom award.
"Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen" - Stephen Hawking
Hawking in one of his speeches, famously said that the future of human race is in the outer space and not on the earth. He also thinks that space tourism should be supported. And if the day comes for something like that to happen, there will be one man who will be remembered even in the outer space. That would be Stephen Hawking.
