The Jammu and Kashmir Story, Continued
If you followed PM Modiʼs speech in the United Nations recently, you would know that soon after accession, India had appealed to
the UN to arrange for an impartial vote in Kashmir (The powers and duties of the UN will be covered in the subsequent issues). The
PM also mentioned that India wouldnʼt go ahead with talks with Pakistan regarding Kashmir, until Pakistani forces left the Indian
part of Kashmir, and the valley was terror free.
In the light of the above situation, it seems that the people in the Indian Part of Kashmir (the area that comes under Indian
Jurisdiction, even though Ad-hoc) are in favour of good governance and had come out to vote, even in the severe cold
(temperatures in Kashmir are running in negative right now). Some journalists claim that this shows how many Kashmiris want to
continue to be a part of India.

25 Best Inventions of 2014 (Contd.)
You read about the first two inventions by Indians, mentioned in the Time Magazine’s list of 25 Best
Inventions. Here is the third one.
I am sure your Mom and Dad don’t like you to be glued to
the iPad all day long. Like that, an Indian engineer, Pramod
Sharma did not like his daughter using the iPad for so
long. So, he developed 'Osmo', a tablet toy that gets
physical and real. Unlike most apps, Osmo comes in a box,
complete with physical letter tiles and primary-coloured
shapes. The game is played on the table in front of
the iPad, which is placed in a special stand. There are
three titles in the game, Words, Tangram and Newton.
Words displays a picture on the screen and a number of
blanks to be completed by placing letters in front of the iPad. Tangram creates a physical, shapematching challenge, while Newton uses pen and paper to redirect falling beads to a target by
drawing lines.
Other inventions mentioned in Time's "The 25 Best Inventions of 2014" include the Apple Watch, 3-d
