ON TOP OF MOON
AHEAD OF WORLD
imachal Pradesh has been at the receiving
end of monsoon fury. Last week’s landslides
in Shimla and Mandi areas saw the collapse
of several houses in which about 60 people lost their
lives. Another round of landslides on Thursday, this
time in Kullu, saw the collapse of seven buildings of
which three were commercial and four residential.
Lives were saved this time as the administration had
got these buildings vacated with prior warning. So
far over 2000 houses are reported to have been dam-
aged in the incessant rains, cloudbursts and over 100
landslides. And the troubles are unlikely to subside
soon as the IMD has predicted heavy rains over the
next two days.
Extensive loss of lives and property could be avoid-
ed in Kullu because the administration was alert and
forewarned the occupants of dangerous buildings. Not
allowing reckless construction on the hills would be
a more effective way in dealing with the mountains
which clearly bear the human load any longer.

ontinued celebrations to mark Vikram lunar
spacecraft’s perfect landing precisely at 6.04
pm near the lunar South Pole is perfectly in
order. The failure of an earlier mission did not daunt
the ISRO scientists who learnt important lessons
from failure to accomplish a touchdown which has
become the envy of developed nations. The historical
event happened when Prime Minister Narendra Modi
was in Johannesburg to attend the BRICS summit
which was also attended by China’s Xi Jinping who
joined other leaders in applauding India’s feat.
Apart from being the first to reach the lunar south-
ern pole, keeping the
Chandrayaan-3 cost
low at around $75
million is also no
mean an achieve-
ment of ISRO. To put
the cost in perspec-
tive, Tom Cruise’s
recent blockbuster
Mission Impossible-
--Dead Reckoning
Part One cost $290
million. It has made
the space-going na-
tions sit up.
This was made
possible by the total
indigenization of the
technology used in
the launch vehicle,
lander module
Vikram and the rover
Pragyaan. This has
raised the prestige of
ISRO scientists in
the eyes of Indians
and the world. There’s renewed faith in ISRO’s ca-
pabilities for future space journeys beginning with
the Aditya L1 mission and Gaganyaan.
The stupendous success of Chandrayaan- 3 has re-
ignited global interest in moon exploration. Whether
it is NASA or the European Space Agency, they will
be eagerly awaiting data transmitted by the sophisti-
cated equipment on the Indian spacecraft. NASAand

ration and are working on human space flight coop-

he newest
findings in
physics can
be important
without af-
fecting anyone’s daily life.
But there has been some
recent speculation that goes
to the very heart of human
existence. The speculation
revolves around the propo-
sition that the universe
might have a memory.
There is talk about very
technical things like gravi-
tational memory and black
hole memory that seem far
removed from daily life.
Human interest enters,
however, when you think
about the possibility that
we live in a conscious uni-
verse. Memory, after all, is
part of being conscious.
But both are invisible and
impossible to measure.
You might think that cos-
mic memory is “dark,”
meaningthatitisoutofsight
but hugely powerful, never-
theless.Thediscoveryofso-
called dark matter and dark
energy caused the standard
model of the universe to im-
plode.The very existence of
stars and galaxies might de-
pend on dark matter and en-
ergy, yet both are invisible
and impossible to measure
directly—they are both
knowable by what they do
(such as causing galaxies to
accelerate away from each
other in deep space).
What if cosmic memory
is not only dark but just as
powerful? This isn’t fanci-
ful, mystical, or New Age
thinking. In each of us,
consciousness is known
subjectively. “I know that
I am conscious” is so obvi-
ous it doesn’t need to be
stated. Of course we talk
about our minds all the
time—it’s a crucial part of
being human. But to a sci-
entist, consciousness isn’t
real until brain functions,
which can be measured on
a scan, prove that mental
activity is taking place.
So what kind of activity
makes it plausible that the
universeremembersthings?
Specifically, how can we
know if it remembers hu-
man beings? There are sev-
eral enticing clues.
z EVOLUTION: The fact that
the universe evolved to pro-
duce life on Earth seems pur-
poseful. This notion has even
given rise to the “anthropic
principle,” which says that the
universe we see and know is
to perfectly set up to produce
life on Earth and human DNA
(our DNA is the single most
complex thing known in crea-
tion). Somehow, the universe
remembered what it was
aiming at for 9 billion years
before the Earth began to
coalesce as an infant planet.
z SPECIES: Once evolution
began on Earth, creatures
evolved as if with a goal in
mind. The most primitive an-
cestor of the horse, for exam-
ple, was a small mammal with
no resemblance to a modern
horse, yet step by step the
modern horse evolved exhib-
iting thousands of character-
istics that make it a horse.
How could they all combine
through the pure chance of
random genetic mutations?
Every species we see has
become specifically what it is
through intricate, specialized
genetic templates.
z HUMAN DIFFERENCE:
Modern Homo sapiens has
been around for 100,000
years, yet in only 30,000 years
did Asians look like Asians,
Africans like Africans, Europe-
ans like Europeans. That’s less
than 1% of the time it takes
for animal species to become
so specific. Random selection
seems inadequate to describe
this hyper-speed evolution.
Psychological choices is just
as unlikely. If mutations are as
random as Darwinian theory
insists, then only one Asian-
looking, African-looking or
European-looking baby would
be born in 10,000 or more. Do
we really believe that out of
10,000 babies, a society picked
the one that was different to be
the model for the entire race?
z THE INCREDIBLY USEFUL
BRAIN: The brain of Homo
sapiens is human because of
the development of the higher
brain, or cerebrum. Thanks
to the higher brain, every
aspect of civilization, includ-
ing art, music, law, science,
technology, and mathemat-
ics were made possible. Yet
the first Homo sapiens used
their brains for none of these
things. So why did the higher
brain appear at least 70 to
80,000 years before civiliza-
tion advanced on the scene?
z PREDISPOSITIONS: Every
mother sees the nascent
personality of a child early on,
usually before age one. By
age five some children inexpli-
cably become child prodigies
at music or math. No one can
explain how predispositions
arise. Genetics is the default
explanation, but when you
were born, your genes exhib-
ited 100,000 differences from
your parents’ genes. These
are supposed to be random
mutations, yet somehow a
child who can play the violin
at a professional level at age
six needs an advanced brain,
motor coordination, musical
pitch, and musical talent that
defy explanation by pointing
to genes, which after all are
basically maps for making
proteins. Was Mozart a lucky
combination of proteins?
z REINCARNATION: Child
prodigies are about as far as
science is willing to go when it
comes to unusual and extreme
predispositions. But Eastern
spiritual traditions and certain
passages in the Hebrew
Bible and the New Testament
testify to a belief in reincarna-
tion. Some children, typically
between the age of five and
eight, can remember their past
lives. Over 2500 such cases
have been strictly and carefully
documented. Are we to believe
that this is a genetic trait? Such
children can take researchers
to the place where they lived in
a past life, and almost all can
visualize how they died.
z KARMA: The doctrine of
karma is a doctrine of cause-
and-effect, a mechanistic
scheme of “As you sow, so
shall you reap.” For this to
work out, some actions are not
linked to their consequences
until the next lifetime, which of
course is totally unacceptable
to modern Western science.
Yet without accepting or
denying the doctrine of karma,
what’s intriguing is that only an
invisible form of memory could
keep track of the actions being
taken at any given moment.
Could all of these phe-
nomena, taken altogether,
point to “dark” memory in
theuniverse?Amainstream
scientist would flatly say
no, which involves coming
up with better explanations
that so far are totally lack-
ing. The usual attitude is
simply to ignore the whole
business.
But a single explanation
already exists for every-
thing just mentioned. It is
ChitAkash, a Sanskrit term
for the “consciousness
space” where dark memory
is mingled with all other
aspects of mind. After all,
we can’t even explain what
a thought is, where it comes
from, or what the next
thought will be. ChitAkash
is creative. It prime pur-
pose is to oversee the evo-
lution of mind. On this path
Chit Akash remembers the
collective traits that make
us most human—love,
compassion, empathy, in-
sight, intuition, discovery,
self-awareness, and per-
sonal growth. No one in-
vented those things. They
are innate in us, thanks to
dark memory.
As always, there is much
more to say on the subject,
but the takeaway is that we
need a modern version of
Chit Akash that allows for
dark memory in such a
way that it suits our mod-
ern worldview. The first
step is to look at every-
thing that needs explain-
ing. Only then can possible
answers be weighed.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY
THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL
WHY THE DARK
MEMORY?
But a single explanation al-
ready exists for everything
just mentioned. It is Chit
Akash, a Sanskrit term for
the “consciousness space”
where dark memory is
mingled with all other as-
pects of mind. After all, we
can’t even explain what a
thought is, where it comes
from, or what the
next thought will be.
Chit Akash is creative. It
prime purpose is to over-
see the evolution of mind.
On this path Chit Akash
remembers the collective
traits that make us most
human—love, compassion,
empathy, insight, intuition,
discovery, self-awareness,
and personal growth. No
one invented those things.
They are innate in us,
thanks to dark memory.

MEMORY,ANDYOU
The discovery of so-called dark matter and dark
energy caused the standard model of the universe
to implode. The very existence of stars and galaxies
might depend on dark matter and energy, yet both
are invisible and impossible to measure directly—
they are both knowable by what they do (such as
causing galaxies to accelerate away from each
other in deep space).

the scheme in UP alone.
During this event, he
also handed over loan
cheques to nearly a dozen
street vendors and wom-
en from self-help groups.
He said that PM Modi
has linked street vendors
with banks and provided
interest-free loans for
them. “As a result of the
scheme, the street ven-
dors are getting loans in
three instalments of Rs
10,000, Rs 20,000 and Rs
50,000 respectively un-

KAMALA HARRIS CALLS ALL

Indian-origin entrepreneur and US

of former US President Donald Trump, who

dates faced off for two hours in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. Ramaswamy garnered a lot of
attention, particularly for his comments.
Describing the Republican presi-
dential candidates as “extremists”,
Vice President Kamala Harris has
said the participants at the party’s maiden
primary debate laid out an agenda that
makes the country less fair, less free and

Trump is due to report

bond and not send threat-
ening social media mes-
sages as he awaits trial.
He will need to report
later — likely in early
September — to court to
enter a formal plea to the
charges.
Trump is known for
using the courts to draw
out cases, and the prose-
cution could be further
slowed by novel legal
questions stemming from
the unprecedented nature
of the case.
Legal experts said a
delay could benefit the
former president, the

CODEOFCONDUCT”
British PM Rishi

correctly declare his
wife’s shareholding in a firm
that was set to benefit from a
new policy announced in the
budget, as per Parliament’s

India team always gives
high-quality good
cricket: Ireland skipper
ANI
Dublin
Praising the Indian team
for playing high-quality
cricket, Ireland captain
Paul Stirling said his
team needs to build from
“periods of good cricket
in patches.”
The third and final
T20I of the three-match
series between India and
Ireland scheduled for
Wednesday at Dublin
was called off due to rain
without a ball being
bowled. With this, India
captured the series 2-0.
Stirling expressed his
desire to work very hard
in preparation for the T20
World Cup, which will be
held in the USAand Car-
ibbean islands in 2024.
“Just periods of good
cricket from us in patches.
A lot of positives but its
about finishing those
games on. India always
gives high-quality good
cricket when they come
here. Brilliant to have In-
dia over and play in front
of good crowds here.
Would’ve been happier if
we could’ve got some
fresh faces out there to-
night. We will continue to
work hard in the journey
to T20 World Cup. It’s a
buildup of around 10
months,” Stirling said in a
post-match presentation.
In the second T20I of
the match, Ireland did
well with the ball, hold-
ing India to just the
game’s 17th over. But in
the final two overs of the
first innings, Rinku Sin-
gh and Shivam Dube at-
tacked their way to scor-
ing 40+ runs in the final
12 balls, and things
quickly changed.

On Thursday, UDH Min-

spected the IPD tower of
SMS Hospital and the
traffic signal projects.
Dhariwal expressed
strong displeasure over
the delay in work and
told JDAofficials, “Don’t
use your intelligence, do
as the architect says.”Ar-
chitect Anoop Barataria
was also present during
the inspection and Bara-
taria complained to the
UDH Minister about not
implementing his in-
structions. Bartariya said,
“JDAofficers spend two-
three months considering
instructions. The look of
the ground floor where
people will come should
be according to an inter-
national airport. That’s
why marble should be
installed here instead of
granite.” The Minister
agreed to this and direct-
ed officers. After this,
Dhariwal reached Jawa-
har Circle Traffic Signal
Project. Angry Dhariwal
had an argument with the
head of the firm over de-
lay in work. The firm has
assured to complete the
work by September 15.
Regarding B2 Bypass

JDA officials when this
traffic diversion would
end. JDA officials said
that by Sept 30, traffic
would be smoothened.

minium panels for beau-
tification of underpass at

ashion is a
canvas for
s e l f - e x -
pression,
and what
better way
to paint your personality
than with printed and color-
ful skirts? These versatile
pieces of art not only infuse
life into your wardrobe but
also reflect the lively spirit
within you. From bold flo-
rals to geometric patterns,
the world of printed skirts
is a playground of creativ-
ity waiting for you to ex-
plore. Printed skirts come
in an array of designs and
color combinations, offer-
ing something for every
taste and occasion.
Whether you're looking
for a playful summer out-
fit, a statement piece for a
night out, or a casual eve-
ryday look, there's a print-
ed skirt that perfectly fits
the bill. Floral prints are a
timeless favorite when it
comes to skirts. They ef-
fortlessly evoke a sense of
femininity and charm. Del-
icate blossoms or over-
sized petals, the choices
are endless. Pair a floral
midi skirt with a tucked-in
blouse for a romantic look,
or go for a daring contrast
by pairing it with a graphic
tee. For those who prefer a
modern edge, geometric
prints are a fantastic op-
tion. Bold lines, triangles,
and abstract shapes can
add a contemporary flair to
your ensemble. A high-
waisted A-line skirt with a
geometric pattern can be
balanced with a solid-
colored top and sleek ac-
cessories for a chic and
polished appearance.
Printed skirts allow you
to showcase your artistic
side without lifting a paint-
brush. Wear a skirt featur-
ing impressionist-inspired
patterns or watercolor
motifs, and you become a
walking work of art. It's
a subtle yet striking
way to tell the world
about your unique per-
spective. The beauty
of printed skirts lies in
their versatility. Ex-
periment with differ-
ent tops, shoes, and
accessories to create
diverse looks from
the same skirt.
Throw on a denim
jacket and ankle boots
for a casual vibe or ele-
vate it with a tailored
blazer and heels for a so-
phisticated twist. Printed
skirts are a gateway to a
world of colors.
Whether you're
drawn to pastels,
bright neons, or deep
jewel tones, there's a
printed skirt waiting
to mirror your
mood and style.
Don't be afraid to
embrace hues that
r e s o n a t e
with your
energy and
enthusiasm.
