From goals to new bills, record breaking hits to IPL, at the end we look back with pride and enjoy the year’s end.  With 2014 being a great year for India, here it is at a glance. 

Politics 

 Indian general elections that were held from 7 April to 12 May 2014 became the longest election in India’s history. 16th May, BJP won the elections with staggering numbers and promised to bring better days for the common man. The month of May was even more special as Mr. Narendra Modi took oath and became India’s 14th Prime Minister. The aura of this great man could be felt within months after him taking the charge, when Prime Minister Modi launched Swachh Bharat Abhiyan to keep India green and clean. Yet another major event was the emergence of a new state named Telangana as Andhra Pradesh split into Andhra and Telangana.

          The Smallest Computer In The World The Smallest Computer in the World Fits On a Grain of Rice. Researchers at the University of Michigan just created the world's smallest computer (again). After all, it's unclear if the IBM computer even counts as an actual microcomputer. The IBM device lost all its programming and data as soon as it turns off, unlike the Michigan Micro Mote, which retained its programming even when it wasn’t externally powered. “It’s more of a matter of opinion whether they have the minimum functionality required,” said David Blaauw, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at University of Michigan who helped develop the University of Michigan's newest tiny device. If the IBM machine constituted a computer, then University of Michigan would work to gain back their title: their latest micro device measures 0.3mm per side (1/10th the size of IBM’s computer), and is smaller than a grain of rice.

  Specialties of the month of May The month of May signifies so many different things to people that it is hard, to sum up, its importance in a single thought. While May is considered a time of new harvest and celebrations for farmers across the country, it also ushers in the dreaded Indian summers, which in turn is symbolized by vacations for children and family trips to the hills for a lot of Indian families.  However, the importance of May runs much deeper than just the basic symbolic inferences to which we as a society often restrict ourselves to. It also has a significant place of honor within religious and spiritual connotations, cultural diversity and societal practices. Here are some of the unique things which make May, the most mystical of all months: Despite a majority of months being named after Greek Gods and even the occasional Roman king, May is named after Maia.
