The Indian flag is all set to mark its presence on the lunar surface for the first time on Friday as a moon probe with the tri-colour painted on it will detach from Chandrayaan-1 and descend onto the earth's natural satellite.

The 375 mm x 375 mm x 470 mm MIP is a honeycomb structure housing the subsystems and three instruments - radar altimeter, video imaging system and mass spectrometer. It weighs 35 kg.

"The Moon Impact Probe is expected to be detached (from Chandrayaan-1) at around 10 PM tomorrow," Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) spokesperson S Satish told PTI.Miniature Indian flags are painted on four sides of MIP.

"It will signify the entry of India on Moon," Satish said."During its 20-minute descent to the moon's surface, MIP will take pictures and transmit these back to the ground," he said.

MIP is one of the 11 scientific instruments (payloads) onboard Chandrayaan-1, India's first unmanned spacecraft mission to Moon launched on October 22.

The spacecraft yesterday reached its final orbital home, about 100 kms over the moon surface after ISRO scientists successfully carried out the last critical orbit lowering operation.

Developed by ISRO's Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre of Thiruvananthapuram, the primary objective of MIP is to demonstrate the technologies required for landing a probe at the desired location on the moon.

The probe will help qualify some of the technologies related to future soft landing missions. This apart, scientific exploration of the moon at close distance is also intended using MIP.

Forbes, an American publishing and media company said in its annual rich list that Reliance Industries Mukesh Ambani has overtaken NRI steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal as the Richest Indian in the world.

Mittal, who has moved to second position with a net worth of USD 20.5 billion (rpt) USD 20.5 billion, is followed by Mukesh's younger brother Anil Ambani, whose wealth stood at USD 12.5 billion.Telecom czar Sunil Mittal and realtor K P Singh are ranked fourth and fifth with net worth of USD 7.9 billion and USD 7.8 billion, respectively.

The magazine said that the combined net worth of India's 40 richest has declined by 60% due to weak stock markets and depreciating rupee against the greenback.

"These are painful times for India's tycoons. The country's once soaring stock market fell 48 per cent the past year, the rupee depreciated 24 per cent against the dollar, and GDP growth is expected to slow by at least a percentage point, in part owing to double-digit inflation," Forbes Asia said in a statement.

While all 40 tycoons listed last year were billionaires, only 27 have 10-figure net worths now. A net worth of 760 million dollar was needed to make to the list this year, 840 million dollar less than last year.

The list says the major loser was property tycoon Ramesh Chandra, whose net worth dropped by 91 per cent to USD 1 billion.

The magnificient sunrise, the dark forests, the deep blue lakes, the twinkling stars,birds,bees.... What man is he who has not stopped awhile to savour these? But just for one fleeting moment have we ever paused to thank god for the gift of eyes that made it possible for us to relish his creation? And have we spared a thought for those not so fortunate as we?

Do you know india has 15 million blind of which 34.7% have corneal blindness. Most of these can have their eyesight restored through simple surgery- corneal transplantation. Due to lack of donors, thousand in india have to wait for years in desperation.

All religions commend the spirit of eye donation as a noble way of serving god and humanity. And isn't it a wonderful thought that the loved ones live after death in someone else's body, giving that person the most wonderful gift of sight?

So friends do be a part of noble cause.It costs nothing but means everything to those bereft of the wonderful gift of sight.

Eventhough you dream everynight, you tend to forget your dream when you get up in the morning. When we are in childhood we keep in touch with the subconscious thoughts and desires but when we grow up this ability diappears. Inorder to remember your dreams you should strongly believe that dream interpretation is valuable.

There is a small exercise to follow inorder to remember your dreams. Have a piece of paper and a pen near your bed. Whenever you wakeup write down as much of your dream as you can remember. After two or three weeks of this practice you will see that you can remember your dreams with great frequency.

Babies' eyes do not produce tears until the baby is approximately six to eight weeks old.

Although babies are often born expressing their opinion of such a hasty entrance into the world, all you're really going to see is waving limbs and a red face. Because while they can howl their little lungs out, they can't yet "cry".
That's not to say that an infant's eyes are in danger of drying out. They do produce enough moisture to keep the eyes coated. But not enough to cause a waterfall when they wail.

It takes anywhere from three to six weeks for a baby's tear ducts to develop to the point where crying will produce any significant amount of moisture, so the eyes overflow.
A tiny opening from the tear duct into the top of the nasal canal, allows tears to run down inside and disperse. Sometimes this opening has not developed enough by the time the tear ducts start producing excess moisture, and they can become clogged.
Tear ducts that are plugged, often show as discharge gathering in the corner of the eye. This can be resolved with gentle and frequent massage of the tear duct area.
