Happy March to everyone! The month of March in the Northern Hemisphere is generally the close of winter and the onset of spring. So in ancient times in Rome, this is the time people started preparing for wars. Hence the month was named after Mars, the Roman god of war!
#OnThisDay in 1957, the Frisbee was born! Walter & his wife were throwing a cake pan at each other at the beach & someone offered them 5 cents to buy it. Realizing the opportunity , he started selling flying discs & later sold it to a toy company which rebranded it as ‘Frisbee’
#HistoryBehindNames Ayodhya as a city is detailed in the Atharvana Veda. The Veda explains the meaning of the city’s name as A-Yudh-Ya meaning ‘a city that cannot be fought against’ or more simply an ‘inconquerable city’
#HistoryBehindWords A Jubilee is a marker for a certain cycle of years. 25yrs is Silver Jubilee etc In ancient days such completion of cycles were announced by a horn made from a Ram’s antlers. This horn, called Yobel in Hebrew, became Jubel over time & the occasion a ‘Jubilee’
Another great moment for Indian traditions ! Garba, the Gujarati dance form, derives from the Sanskrit word Garbha meaning womb. Traditionally Garba dancers dance in circles around a Clay lantern containing a lamp inside - symbolizing new life inside a womb!

#OnThisDay Dec 5th 1958, the first ever long distance phone call was made by Queen Elizabeth from Bristol to Edinburgh using Subscriber Trunk Dialling (STD) Until then, a telephone call could be made only to those connected to the local exchange. Trunk calling changed the world!
The Bay of Bengal has always had massive cyclones. So, an unique architecture style was born amongst fishermen in this coast called the ‘Chuttilu’ house which was built with circular walls to let the storm winds wrap around & not get destroyed like the usual square structures did
As #CycloneMichaung prepares for landfall near Machilipatnam in AP, it might seem that this is some small town! But it was one of India’s greatest ports for 2000 years before facing the wrath of nature & losing its importance! A fascinating tale you’ve not heard before 🧵🧵👇🏻

At Midnight, 39 years ago on this day, India’s greatest industrial tragedy happened in Bhopal! A thread that revisits the minutes, hours, days and years after the gas leak 🧵🧵 Read to know, to be aware of how India’s Chernobyl moment dots its history 👇🏻👇🏻

#OnThisDay 41 yrs ago- Dec 2, 1982 the first ever human artificial heart implant was done on Barney Clark, a dentist suffering with heart congestion! Barney lived for another 112 days with the heart - a great medical breakthrough of the time & opening up more cardiac treatments
#DidYouKnow December is named so as it was the 10th month in the Roman Calendar originally (Deca - 10) The year had only 10 months & winter days that followed were monthless. Later they became Jan & Feb & got added at the start of the year but December retained its name !!
In the 1971 tour of England, with the 1st 2 tests drawn, India had to chase 173 on 5th day of the 3rd test which coincided with #GaneshChaturthi Indian fans brought an elephant from the local zoo as a lucky mascot & Indian players took it as a good omen & won the series 1-0😃
Wish all readers a very happy Vinayaga Chaturthi!! Let the God of new beginnings bring you all things good in life !! Leaving you with a most beautiful Early Chola sculpture of Ganesha from 10th Cen in Pullamangai temple near Thanjavur 🐘🐀
On this historic day for India , remember the moment the Moon Landing program was first announced by PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee in pouring rain in front of the Red Fort in his 2003 Aug 15th Independence Day speech! 20 years later, India is on the Moon! #Chandrayaan3 🎉
Happy #IndependenceDayIndia Did you know the first ever hoisted Indian flag on 15th Aug 1947 is on display in the Fort St George Museum in Chennai !
#TodaysGeography You would know that the highest point on earth is Mt Everest. Do you know which is the lowest point? It’s the ‘Dead Sea’ bed which is 441m below sea level. The river Jordan has diverted away from here creating a low point which is further falling by 1m every yr!
#DidYouKnow The Spanish National Anthem La Marcha Real (The Royal March) has no lyrics and only set to a tune!! Many leaders have tried to add lyrics but always faced opposition from internal regions such as Catalunya & the Basque as they don’t identify with the national lyrics!
#OnThisDay in 1715, the famous Laddoo was introduced as a Prasadam at the Tirupati Temple! Originally introduced as an incentive for priests to come do seva there as they were getting higher paying roles elsewhere! Over 308 years, it has built a global fanbase of its own 😃

@myhistorytales Thanks for this very interesting information… Govinda Govinda 🙌🏻🕉
Wasn’t aware of the background to this. The world famous Tirupati laddoo ❤️
#OnThisDay in 1715, the famous Laddoo was introduced as a Prasadam at the Tirupati Temple! Originally introduced as an incentive for priests to come do seva there as they were getting higher paying roles elsewhere! Over 308 years, it has built a global fanbase of its own 😃

I had a sneaking suspicion this level of creativity had a Sachin Tendulkar smell about it…
#DidYouKnow The IPL team Mumbai Indians was originally planned to be named 'Mumbai Razors'. Hence you see a razor in their team logo as well Before the name was announced, Sachin Tendulkar suggested renaming it to Mumbai Indians - so that name was chosen but the logo remained
@myhistorytales The Indian Bengali scientist who did this on his own from Calcutta was totally ignored and heckled . livemint.com/Leisure/d7Rt1C…
