Direction: The psychological causes of unhappiness, it is clear, are many and various, but all have something in common. The typical unhappy man, is one who, having been deprived in youth of some normal satisfaction, has come to value this one kind of satisfaction more than any other and has therefore given to his life a one-sided direction, together with a quite undue emphasis upon the achievement as opposed to the activities connected with it. There is, however, a further development which is very common in the present day. A man may feel so completely thwarted that he seeks no form of satisfaction, but only distraction and oblivion. He then becomes a devotee of ‘pleasure'. This is to say, he seeks to make life bearable by becoming less alive. Drunkenness, for example, is temporary suicide the happiness that it brings is merely negative, a momentary cessation of unhappiness.

Direction: In 1900, to a shipping clerk---Alexander Fleming---a career in science seemed like a distant dream. Alexander the youngest son of a Scottish farmer from Ayrshire was born on 6, August, 1881. He was able to complete High school but then his family funds ran out. At sixteen he took a job as a shipping clerk and stayed there for four years. In 1901. Alexander came across a small legacy which enabled him to continue his education, and, on the advice of one of his brothers who was a doctor, he chose to prepare for a career in medicine. Alexander did unusually well in medical school along with rifle shooting, swimming, water polo and painting. After his graduation, his teacher Prof. Wright asked him to join him in bacteriological research, which he readily agreed.

Direction: While the modern India has made progress in various fields, the priceless intangible heritage of works like the Sama Veda have gone unnoticed-a great loss indeed. We have, it could be said, mindlessly pursed a line of development causing
unwelcome changes to the very fabric of our culture; not very different from iconoclastic behavior. In spite of the fact that a large number of rich Indians possess more wealth than the world's richest, we demonstrate such ignorance about the Vedas in general and Sama Veda in particular. One needs to find out why the world’s oldest composite literature on religion, sciences, humanities and spirituality attracts little public attention today. The yajnas, apart from their religious functions, were unfortunately termed as mere ‘rituals’ even by Indian scholars and so their secular significance has been undermined. It has been shown in a premiere scientific institute in Pune that the Yajna bhasma being of the size of nano-particles had positive effects on human health and the environment.
