THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

God

"You cannot believe in god until you believe in yourself."

- Swami Vivekananda.

TOPIC OF THE DAY

Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus (c. 1451 - May 20, 1506) was an explorer and trader who crossed the Atlantic Ocean and reached the Americas on October 12, 1492. History places great significance on his discovery of America in 1492, when in fact he did not reach the mainland until his third voyage in 1498. It is also a common misconception that he is the earliest European explorer to reach the Americas, when it was actually Leif Erikson. Despite this, the entire period of the history of the Americas before this date is usually known as Pre-Columbian, and the anniversary of this event, Columbus Day, is celebrated in many parts of America.
