Man has always been curious to know about things and places. It is this curiosity which has held led him to discover and explore various places on this earth. One good thing about adventure or exploration is that there is no age bar for it. Even a child or a very old man can go on an adventurous journey. Let us know about the adventures of Marco Polo, who was an Italian boy.
Marco polo was a boy of seventeen, ant not very strong, when he set out on his travels. He went to China with his father and uncle. It was the year 1271, and the place where he lived was Venice in Italy. Marco polo’s father and uncle had already been once to china and had come back to visit their home. This time they decided to take Marco polo with them. They had to go over mountains, cross terrible deserts, through hot burning lands and laces where it was freezing cold. At times, Marco polo was ill on account of the hard and hazardous journey, but he got better and kept bravely on.
It took Marco polo, his father and his uncle there years to reach china. Kublai khan, the great king o china, welcomed them at is court. Marco polo grew up at the Chinese court and became a great favorite of the king. He learnt to speak several languages and was so clever that the king sent him to India and other lands as his ambassador. Each time when he came back, he told the king all. About the places he had visited how the people there lived, what their trades were, what the big cities were like and what messages were given to him for the king. Kublai khan was so happy with Marco polo that he heaped riches on him, his father and is uncle.
The Polos were happy at the Chinese court. Still they wanted to return to Venice. The king was unwilling to let them go, but he consented in the end and they left china for their native land. It was 1295, when the three travelers arrived in Venice. They were dressed in threadbare clothes and they spoke a strange language. Nobody recognized the, for they had been away for twenty-four years and even their family and given them up for dead. But they insisted that although they had forgotten to speak the Italian language, they were Italians and Venice was their home. Marco, who was a seventeen-year old boy when he had left, was a middle aged man now.
Marco polo told the people of Venice wonderful things about china. The Chinese, he explained, did not write their books by hand- instead, they printed many books t a time. They used clocks which were powered by water. They made colorful fireworks from a strange thing called gunpowder.
At that time in Italy, o one had heard about gunpowder or printing or clocks. People thought the three men were mad. Suddenly Marco polo cut open the patches in his old clothes and out tumbled several jewels like diamonds, rubies and pearls. Then the people believed that the strangers were really the Polos, back from a marvelous journey to far –off lands and that all Marco polo’s wonderful tales be true.
In 1298, Marco polo wrote down his experience in a book called description of the word. This book influenced many European explores including Christopher Columbus.
The first of the Hindu mathematicians was ARYABHATTA who lived in or near the present city Patna on the Ganges, in Bihar state of India. He was born in Kusumpuram and wrote his famous work The Aryabhattiya in 499A.D at the age of 23. In addition to the other contributions of Aryabhatta this voluminous work is enough to place him among the first ranking astronomers and the mathematicians of the world.
From the writings of Bhaskara, it appears that Aryabhatta took up the profession of a teacher. He earned fame as a great scholar and a teacher of astronomy.
Aryabhatta's contribution to the field of mathematics is extremely significant. He gave a systematic approach to Arithmetic, Algebra and Trigonometry. He was the 1st mathematician who gave the value of ∏ (pi) correct upto four decimal places.
Aryabhatta gave a method to find the cube root of numbers and dealt with arithmetic,geometric and indeterminate equations in algebra. He dealt with square,cube,triangle,trapezium,circle and sphere in geometry.
Aryabhatta occupies the 1st position among the astronomers of not only India but the whole world by telling that Earth is moving around the Sun. This knowledge about the Earth given by Aryabhatta was much beyond the imagination of scholars even after 1000 years of Aryabhatta.
However, Parthdak Swami(860A.D) and Copernicus(1600A.D) supported Aryabhatta and his Principle of rotation of the Earth around the Sun.

“Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed”
-E. Dickenson.
The saying holds true in this case. Some people are just so rigid backboned that any kind of disability can’t break the down. In each and every failure they stand up with twice will and fight with new spirit. But don’t forget their goal. The Milton Hershey is also this kind of person. He was from self made family. His father was horticulture farmer. His father transferred after every 2-3 years that is why he can not become a stable one. He was not at all interested in his father’s job. Books are his real friends and drawing is the hobby. After some years his father left their home ay once. In this extreme circumstances his education left at 4th class. After that had done a printing job but his mind was fully in making delicious candies. Then he decided to start the business of marketing candies. On 4th July 1876 at Philadelphia he sold his first stock of candies. At the beginning he was not so perfect in the preparation but thereafter he commands his mastery on that. For smooth texture of candy, continuous stirring of caramel is required but the caramel is so hard to stir that sometimes it results in backache and spinal ache. Doing this task Milton had developed his biceps and triceps. He done this job for many years and he had lost half of his energy. But comparatively he was not getting much income. His left hand was fully scorched by the melted sugar and it was looking awful. Finally after long period of six years he was not satisfied with his business, he decided to close down it. His relatives were also waiting him to stop this idiocy. After that his father called him at Colorado (Denver) for helping in his mining job. He worked there for some years but at that time there exists servility. The life was sucked by the contractors.
At one night Milton was kidnapped but he was also a bravo he stroked gun on the kidnappers and ran away from there.
“Men are born to succeed not to fail”
-Henry David Thoreau
Was the motto of his life then he again decided to start his business that is of candies. He tried some new ideas in the preparation process and he discovered that adding milk in the mixture increases the richness of candy. He applied this formula in the preparation but at every place he got failure. First in New Jersey at Morristown, then in New York all his experiments got failed. For last try he left for Lancester, there his fortune sparks there and he got an order of 500 pounds. Then he was getting orders on orders.
In 1893 he attend the international industrial fair, from there he brought a German machine of making chocolate. He decided to go with the chocolate business.
“As in the case of all branches of art, success depends in a very large measure upon individual initiative and exertion, and cannot be achieved except by dint of hard work”
- Anna Pavlova
In 1900 Milton sold his candy factory for 10 lack dollars and concentrated on his chocolate business but still he was not satisfied.
Still they didn’t get the mastery in that. He started a new chocolate factory at Pennysylvania, where transportation facilities are not available easily but raw material, milk and workers are abundant. And now that is largest chocolate factory in the world. The company provides 114 types of chocolate. Then he introduced Hershey’s chocolate bar.
They launched a new chocolate ‘Kisses’, it got the name because when the chocolate dropped from the conveyor belt it sounds like a kiss. He spends lots of dollars on advertisement.
Today Hershey is the world’s biggest company. In 2000 the company was sold for 422 crore dollars. At that time the company had branches in 90 countries and 15700 were the employees and still growing. Milton erected an orphan age home in the memory of his wife Catherine swini (kitty).Today also the 65% of the gross income of the company donated to the orphanage. In his old age he established a new big branch to Cuba. Then he returned to America and at the age of 88, he ends his life’s journey…….
