With a tally of 15243, India has entered the Guinness Book of World Records for ‘the most people singing a national anthem simultaneously'. The previous record was held by Pakistan for 5800 individuals.
Leading the crowd in the chorus on stage were singers Shankar Mahadevan, Roopkumar and Sonali Rathod, Mahatma Gandhi’s grandson Tushar Gandhi, Prashant Damle, Vaishali Samant, Swapnil Bandodkar, Pramod Sarkate, Mrs Salaskar (widow of 26/11 martyr Vijay Salaskar) and others, who rendered live with Aurangabadkars to create the world record for the maximum number of people in any country singing their National Anthem in unison.
Shankar Madhavan said, “Our National Anthem is a wonderfully inspiring composition, and is a part of everyone’s psyche,” adding, “I am truly excited to have been a small part of this gigantic experience.”
Roopkumar Rathod said, “The National Anthem is greatly inspiring to all Indians from the Himalayas to the Indian Ocean and from Gujarat to Assam. It truly brings all Indians together as it has done in Aurangabad today. Sonali and I feel privileged to have been able to celebrate the spirit of Jana Gana Mana with thousands of Aurangabadkars.”
The Fictitious Group, winners of talent reality show India’s Got Talent also performed with their power packed acrobatic dance routines. Vernon from Fictitious said, “It’s exciting to dance in the service of our Nation! We salute those who laid down their lives for the country.
chinese-art-student-builds-home-made-ipad-for-his-girlfriend.
What’s the best way to show a girl you love her? Sure, you could always buy her an iPad, but why not build her one?
Chinese art student, Wei Xinlong wanted to show his commitment to his long distance girlfriend by building her a touchscreen tablet PC for their daily video chat dates. This way when he leaves for Shenzhen to work, they’ll be able to keep in touch easier.
As a student in Northeas Normal University in Changchun, Jilin, Wei was familiar with electronics and engineering and found most answers to questions he had online. He bought most of the parts of the device in second-hand market and salvaged them from dismantled laptops. He even built some of the parts himself, such as a heat conductor made from an aluminum soda can and a chopstick. Wei dedicated himself to the device for 10 days before it was completed, and even managed to place an Apple logo with rhinestones on it.
The features on his “iPad” include a touchscreen, built in webcam, a microphone, four USB slots, LAN socket and runs on a lithium battery. It may be a step down from Apple’s top-selling product, but it still can read e-books, watch movies, listen to music and even play video games. And it only cost Wei 800 yuan ($126) to build compared to Apple’s iPad price of around $500.
Wei’s remarkable final product is truly a representation of his hard work and dedication. It will certainly reinforce his long-distance relationship as well as put boyfriends around the world to shame.

Jell-O hooked up to an electroencephalograph (EEG) can display readings similar to human brain function.
The Jell-O can pick up misleading signals that prevent the acquisition of a proper flatline reading. These signals can be things such as electrical circuits in the room, an IV drip, or a phone ringing!
Spanning almost 2.5km across the River Tarn in the South of France, the Millau Viaduct is set to become the world’s highest bridge. Designed by the architect Lord Norman Foster, the six-lane cable-stay bridge is 19m taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Supported by two anchorage points at either side and seven piers supporting the carriageway, the bridge will soar across the Tarn valley at a central height of 245m. The project has consumed 19,000 tons of concrete-reinforcing steel, 5,000 tons of reinforcing steel for cables and 85,000 cubic meters of concrete - enough to fill London’s Albert Hall.
