Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi

Jawaharlal Nehru was fondly known as Chacha Nehru and was very popular with kids. He was born on November 14 1889 to Swarup Rani and Motilal Nehru. He was the first Prime Minister of Independent India. His birthday is celebrated in India as Children's day.

Jawaharlal Nehru was born in a very wealthy family. Just as birthdays are celebrated by cutting cake and singing happy birthday to you, in those days, birthday's were celebrated by doing a “Tula”. In a huge balance just like the one you see in the hands of the blind folded idol of justice, the birthday boy would sit on one side of the balance or the Tula. On the other side, they filled it up with either grains or new clothes or gold coins depending on how much some one wanted to spend. Once the needle of the balance swung in the center, the grains or the new clothes or the gold coins would be distributed amongst the poor and the needy. Nehru loved the Tula so much that he celebrated his birthday two times in a year.
Indira Gandhi was the daughter of Kamala Nehru and Jawaharlal Nehru and was born on November 19, 1917. She was the first woman Prime Minister of Independent India. When Indira was born, the freedom movement for independent India was going very strong and her parents were very actively involved in India's freedom struggle. Their house in Allahabad was always the hub of freedom fighters. Gandhiji was a frequent visitor and Indira was greatly affected by his thinking. As a child she read a book on Joan of Arc. She liked Joan of Arc so much that she banded some small children like herself and had her own army playing pretend fighting for India's freedom.

The first stethoscope

René Laennec, a French doctor and inventor was born 235 years ago today, and Google has marked his birthday with a Doodle. Dr Laennec's importance to modern medicine was guaranteed by his invention of the very first stethoscope in 1816. Here are five things you (probably) didn't know about him : 1. Dr Laennec's stethoscope bears little semblance to the modern stethoscope. Unlike those used today, Dr Laennec's stethoscope was not a set of ear pieces connected by a plastic tube to a chest piece. His stethoscopes were simple cylinders made from wood and metal. The doctor using it would simply place it directly over the area in question and listen at the other end. 2. His first stethoscope was a rolled up piece of paper Described in his 1819 treatise on this device, Dr Laennec invented the stethoscope while treating a young woman suffering from symptoms of heart disease. 3. The stethoscope was not his only contribution to medical science I...

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus Review

For most of the reviews here at Gadgets 360, we use the mobile in question as our primary phone for about a week or so before sharing our verdict with you. We realise this isn't perfect, since there are some aspects of the device that don't become obvious during that time, and in an ideal world, we'd use every phone for a couple of months before we publish our review. But we work under constraints where most devices aren't available to us for that long - almost all products that we review are loaned to us by companies for short durations - and there's also the competitive pressure of wanting to get your review out before others do, as long as it doesn't involve cutting any corners. With the launch of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus in India, Apple offered to loan the two new iPhones to Gadgets 360 - and indeed other publications - for more than the typical timeframe of a few days. The India iPhone launch of course came a few we...

Lenovo Vibe K4 Note First Impressions

Lenovo has kicked off 2016 with the new Vibe K4 Note smartphone. Those familiar with Lenovo's Note series might get puzzled with the addition of the Vibe moniker to the name, especially given the success of Lenovo K3 Note last year. Head of Product and Marketing at Lenovo Smartphones in India, Anuj Sharma, clarified that the new K4 Note has been integrated with the Vibe series of smartphones. While we are not sure if this has anything to do with the rumours that Lenovo may discontinue its Vibe range to prevent cannibalisation of Motorola sales, Sharma yet again asserted "Vibe" range is not going anywhere . Lenovo at the Delhi launch event on Tuesday also showed some statistics to show how popular the Lenovo K3 Note really is in the country. The handset was the third most searched phone in 2015, based on Google's release data for India , and the company had sold around 1.2 million units. W...
