Steven Paul Jobs

     
       Who among us doesn’t know  about Apple and its products which magnified the technology like anything? And  the mastermind behind this technology evolution is none other than “Steve Jobs” as we all know. So I am very sure, those who love Apple products and the Jobs admirers would love to know about his story and the path he walked to reach the level where we found him.

       As his  father Paul was machinist so Jobs used to help him  in their own garage electronics work and this is what taught him how to reconstruct the field of electronics and gradually his keen interest turned into his hobby and lead him to the path of inventing and creating something new. Jobs had always been the owner of a smart and intelligent mind.

Then came the important point of his life, he joined Homestead High School and he met Steve Wozniak – his future partner of Apple. Wozniak at that time was attending the University of California, Berkeley. Surprisingly they both had outstanding knowledge and interests in electronics and in this way they got their common thread.

Together they created history. The developed such a circuit board that was impossible to reproduce in an assembly line.

Steve Jobs died peacefully with his family surrounding him. A small private funeral was held, but the details were not revealed to the public out of respect to his family.

Apple, Pixar, Microsoft, Disney everyone flew their flags half mast in his remembrance from October 6th to 12th 2011.

Steve Jobs is buried in automation Memorial Park the only non-denominational cemetery in Palo Alto California, his grave is unmarked.

Neerja bhanot

     You hear so many stories that are worth inspired. The person who inspired me the most is Neerja bhanot. She was born on 7th September 1963 Chandigarh,Punjab,India. She was a working for the airline pan America world airways, based in Mumbai.

Nostradamus

    

          The thought about Nostradamus always brings an exclamatory mark to my mind. The way he predicted the future still remains to be a mystery.Nostradamus predicted so many things. Its still a wonder whether he predicted things or events happened according to his words.

           Nostradamus predicted both the world wars. Apart from that the better point is that he predicted the hero of the war. Yes! He foretold about Hitler. He is renowned for suposedly foretelling a number of catastrophic events including the great fire of London, the French revolution, the destruction of the atomic bomb and the attack on the World Trade Centre on 9\11.

       

           The most amazing part which actually impressed me as well as brought nervousness was that Nostradamus died and was buried like any other ordinary man. But later he became popular and people opened his cemetry. Those who opened got scared because the date in which they opened the cemetry was written on that!!!!!

   
              He's really a strange and mysterious person.
