February 8, 2009

8th Feb 2009, Propose Day!
This is something which can not be bounded by any ways! Even special distance separation across the continents can not stop it.

A song dedicated to her (Agar Mai Kahun from Lakshya):

Apart from all the unplanned events, I finished one chapter of the Semiconductor Device Physics which was supposed to take maximum 2 hours. After dinner, I spend my time to expand knowledge about Noble Prize and Alfred Nobel. He was the one which discovered the Dynamite. Alfred Nobel was the great scientist, entrepreneur, struggler, and businessman. His last "The Will" has change the way of considering and pursuing biggest achievement in the field of Physics, Chemistry, Medical, Literature, and Piece. He left enough fund to reward "The Best" achievement in the world for years and years.

Some of the source of Nobel:

A short summary of his will:

"The whole of my remaining realizable estate shall be dealt with in the following way: the capital, invested in safe securities by my executors, shall constitute a fund, the interest on which shall be annually distributed in the form of prizes to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind. The said interest shall be divided into five equal parts, which shall be apportioned as follows: one part to the person who shall have made the most important discovery or invention within the field of physics; one part to the person who shall have made the most important chemical discovery or improvement; one part to the person who shall have made the most important discovery within the domain of physiology or medicine; one part to the person who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work in an ideal direction; and one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses. The prizes for physics and chemistry shall be awarded by the Swedish Academy of Sciences; that for physiology or medical works by the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm; that for literature by the Academy in Stockholm, and that for champions of peace by a committee of five persons to be elected by the Norwegian Storting. It is my express wish that in awarding the prizes no consideration be given to the nationality of the candidates, but that the most worthy shall receive the prize, whether he be Scandinavian or not."
