Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury's 4th Idiot

Produced and directed by Guinness world record holder for strong memory Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury, movie is made at a budget of Rs.20 million.
Film will be screened in World Unity Convention Center in Lucknow for students of the local City Montessori Schools.
4th Idiot is the story of a boy, Pappu, who, by using the techniques taught by Ranchordas Chanchar in 3 Idiots, achieved his otherwise seemingly unachievable goals like topping in school, winning his dream girl and even going to the moon.

However, the makers seem to be in a soup now as Vidhu Vinod Chopra Productions have taken legal action against them

History of Architect and Architecture (western)

The first Biblical reference to an architect is Bezalel, described in Exodus 36-38 as the architect of Tabernacle as well as teacher of arts.
Bezalel (Exodus 31:1-11) was a leader who constructed and decorated the tabernacle in the wilderness detailed by Divine plan communicated to Moses on Mount Sinai.
He was highly talented as a worker, showing great skill and originality in precious metals and stones.
Today, Bezalel Academy is based at Jerusalem in 1906 by sculptor Boris Schatz. Their mission was said to develop non charitable useful arts and crafts among Jews within the country, which in turn designs where developed within the scope of all the indigenous inhabitants; which are historically Jewish in origin.

Ancient architects created a variety of structures to serve various needs and most important were the temples. Other public building were stadia for athletic, dramatic and musical events.

Indian Census


It has its beginning from 1872 and the present Census 2011 will be the 15th National Census of the country. This time the Census forms are printed in 16 languages and the Instruction Manuals in 18 languages and first-ever National Population Register (NPR) will also be prepared in which all persons aged over 15 years will be photographed and fingerprinted to create a biometric national database. With this India will probably become the first democratic nation in the world which would have got its population fingerprinted in a year from now.


The Census has come from Latin: during the Roman Republic the census was a list that kept track of all adult males fit for military service.

The first such effort of Census in 1861 was postponed due to the dislocations caused by the First War of Independence (the great rebellion of 1857-59), the second one, in 1871, was spread out over two years due to political reasons and financial constraints. Later, the 1921 and 1931 censuses were affected by the non-cooperation movement and sporadic political unrest during the period that curtailed data collection to some extent. Similarly, the 1941 census operations were affected by World War II. In Independent India, too, political disturbances led to the exclusion of Assam from the 1981 census and Jammu and Kashmir from the 1991 census.

The censuses have also played an even greater role in influencing politics. For instance, census numbers played an important role in two great partitions; first, in Bengal partition, the 1872 census identified the large Muslim population in the state, and then that of India in 1947. Similarly, census data played a prominent role in the linguistic reorganization of Indian states in 1956 and also in the more recent ones like Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Uttarakhand.

Next was TV, which had a penetration of 31.6%, followed by scooters, motorcycles and mopeds (11.5%), telephones (9.1%) and cars, jeeps and vans (2.5%).
