The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself.
On this day, 30 Oct....
1502 - Vasco da Gama returns to Calicut, India for the second time.
1925 - The first television transmission was seen in London, England. John Baird built the transmitter in his attic from a tea chest, cardboard scanning discs, an empty biscuit box, old electric motors, darning needles, motorcycle lamp lenses, piano wire, glue, string, and sealing wax.
1960 - Michael Woodruff performs the first successful kidney transplant in the United Kingdom at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. (One of the earliest mentions about the real possibility of a kidney transplant was by American medical researcher Simon Flexner, who declared in a reading of his paper on “Tendencies in Pathology” in the University of Chicago in 1907 that it would be possible in the then-future for diseased human organs substitution for healthy ones by surgery — including arteries, stomach, kidneys and heart).
1990 - Britain and France complete the "Chunnel" under the English Channel. (The Chunnel is a 50.5-kilometre rail tunnel linking Folkestone, Kent, in the United Kingdom, with Coquelles, Pas-de-Calais, in northern France, beneath the English Channel at the Strait of Dover. At its lowest point, it is 75 m deep. At 37.9 kilometres, the tunnel has the longest undersea portion of any tunnel in the world).
1994 - India seeks Chinese support for Security Council membership.
2000 - The 160-page CBI's report on cricket match-fixing names Azharuddin, Ajay Jadeja, Ajay Sharma, Manoj Prabhakar and former physiotherapist Dr. Ali Irani for their deep-rooted nexus with betting syndicates. It virtually gives a clean chit to Kapil Dev.
Born....
1909 - Homi Jahangir Bhabha, famous nuclear scientist.
RIP....
1883 - Swami Dayanand Saraswati, founder of Arya Samaj. (The Arya Samaj is a Hindu reform movement of the Vedic tradition. He was a profound scholar of the Vedic lore and Sanskrit language. He was the first to give the call for Swarajyaas "India for Indians" – in 1876, later taken up by Lokmanya Tilak).
Good morning. Have a nice day.
