Stephen Hawking dies at 76.....and leaves a black hole in our universe.....

-
The Cambridge University physicist and best-selling author who roamed the cosmos from a wheelchair, pondering the nature of gravity and the origin of the universe and becoming an emblem of human determination and curiosity, died early Wednesday at his home in Cambridge, England. He was 76.

I wish I could write this well, but I'm really not that into Physics. I was however, until a few years ago, very interested in the life of Stephen Hawking. He was diagnosed with an incurable disease in his 20s, with his doctors giving him a maximum of 3 years to live. This man however, proved everyone wrong (obviously) and lived uptil 76! Not only that, he also contributed to the field of physics in a million ways (you can check how on the internet....there are tons on sites on that topic).

While I may not be a fan of his work (I'm a Business Management student, and physics has always been one of my lesser liked subjects), I definitely admire him for his persistence, patience(because I suffer from the lack of it) and moreover his determination, infatuation (Where did the universe come from??) and dedication to his research and books. It takes one hell of a willpower to be able to do all these things from a wheelchair where people can hardly understand what you're saying and yet be able to sell more than 10 million copies worldwide (A Brief History of Time) and capture the hearts of millions of people along with it. 

The world has lost a star, leaving a void that will be hard to fill. He was and will always be a shining star in the field of physics, remembered by all.

 #RIPStephenHawking.

M ajor Kumud Dogra, donning her crisp uniform, marches forward. This is perhaps of one of the saddest moments of her life – as she pays homage to her martyred husband, IAF pilot Wing Commander Dushyant Vats who was killed in a microlight helicopter crash in Assam. But she isn’t alone. Bundled in her arms is her 5-day baby, one who never had the chance to see her father alive. This picture of Major Kumud Dogra, walking to her husband’s funeral with her baby in her arms. It is difficult to imagine how one can have the courage to shield themselves and not break down in the final moments of losing their dear ones. The courage, resilience and indomitable spirit of the army woman, while bidding her husband goodbye, has inspired many. h ttps://www.thebetterindia.com/132396/army-martyr-husband-newborn/

Two years ago my teacher sent the entire class on an assignment as part of our Principles of Marketing subject in which we had to visit different retail outlets and check which company manufactured them. I remember going to one such place with 3 other class mates, with Note Pad open in our phones and discreetly clicking pictures of all HUL products. It sort of felt weird at first because we had never done the picture clicking part before, but slowly got used to it as soon as we realized that the line of HUL products was just never ending. We submitted the assignment the next day and that was the end of the story. But just yesterday, I opened the HUL website again as part of my semester  VI Logistics subject assignment (yes I do get homework even in TY!). I was surprised by the products that I saw.
