Forgotten President of America

The most powerful nation of this world is United States of America. U.S.A is a well developed country with a good economy status. America plays a vital role in UNO. All these credits are not gained on a single day or by a single person. These reputations cannot be fulfilled without praising the presidents of U.S. So the first honor goes to first president of America. However, to whom all this praise goes to?


There is a chaos about the first president of America for very long time. Officially announced first president was George Washington. However, John Hanson was occasionally called the first president of U.S. because, he was the first man to serve a full term as President of the Continental Congress under the Articles of Confederation in 1781 and 1782.His predecessors are from Sweden. He was the successor of one of the greatest family traditions in the colonies and became the patriarch of a long line of American patriots. John Hanson was first elected to represent Charles County in the colonial assembly in 1757. He also served as their representative in 1758-1763, 1765, 1766, 1768-1769. At various times he held several positions in local government, including that of deputy land surveyor and treasurer of Frederick County. Then Hanson was elected to the Continental Congress in 1779. When the Congress selected a new president for the 1781-1782 terms, they elected John Hanson on November 5, 1781. Hanson was the third President of the Continental Congress. He was the first to serve a full one-year term, and the first to formally use the title President of the United States in Congress Assembled. The great seal of the United States was first used when he was a president. Thanksgiving Day was declared by Hanson on the fourth Thursday of every November. Yet six other presidents were elected after him - Elias Boudinot (1783), Thomas Mifflin (1784), Richard Henry Lee (1785), Nathan Gorman (1786), Arthur St. Clair (1787), and Cyrus Griffin (1788) before George Washington was selected. These people were not included in the officially announced presidents.


The letter shown above elucidates that he was the third president of America. John Hanson Letter as the 3rd President of the United States in Congress Assembled congratulating Thomas McKean for his service is irrefutable proof that he was not the 1st president of the United States or the 1st President of Continental Congress as maintained by the Smithsonian Institute in their Presidential Exhibit. Some proofs are there to prove Hanson as a first president of U.S and some to prove him as a third president. However, John Hanson had a great honor by representing him as a president of United States of America. Even so, he was forgotten in the President’s History.

Adolf Hitler - A German Hero

Everyone in this world likes to live as a Real-life hero. However, only few lead their life in a heroic path. Furthermore, one of the best heroes among them is Adolf Hitler. He may be a villain unless and until we see Hitler as a patriotic person. Most of us know about Hitler’s history but no one knows in the mystery of Hitler’s death. When the World War-II was firing like a hell in 1945, Hitler has ended his life. Hitler was totally distress by the betrayal of his friends and supporters. Soviets were fighting hardly and they were a mile away from Fuhrerbunker (Hitler’s living place). The last news to Hitler from outside world was the execution of his friend Mussolini.





On the noon of April 30 at 2 p.m. Hitler had his last meal which was a vegetarian lunch. Then Hitler and his wife Eva Braun went to their private quarters. Both were a newly married couple but lived together as a husband and wife in the bunker for less than 40 hours. After sometime a gunshot was heard. At 3:30 p.m., Bormann and Goebbels entered and found the body of Hitler sprawled on the sofa, dripping with blood from a gunshot. Eva Braun also had died from swallowing poison. However, his death is still a mystery, whether it is murder or suicide. A hero’s life thus ended in tragedy.

True Love Never Fails

Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi are known to be the supreme leaders of India. However, they are not only the best leaders but also best couples. My next blog describes the love of Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi. Their love knew no bonds. It was not a love at first sight story, it was all about a relationship that stood against all the frontiers, religion and even crossed several country boundaries to pay their humble homage for the four letter word, 'Love'. It is not a legendary love story but the tough and the surviving one. In 1965, just a year after arriving in England, Sonia met a young Indian student named Rajiv Gandhi, who was studying mechanical engineering at Cambridge University. Their love life did not start at a very glance. Love bloomed everyday to its perfection until they held their hands together to lead a respectable married life. Sonia’s family opposed the match, and did not encourage the relationship. However, Sonia stood firm to her decision and paved her way with her love to India, to be his wife. The courtship, however, lasted three years, perhaps because Rajiv was from one of the most famous families in India, if not the world. Sonia's parents were reluctant to have her become involved in such a different culture, and Sonia herself was nervous about meeting Rajiv's famous mother, Indira Gandhi (1917–1984), who was considered to be the "first lady" of India.





Sonia and Indira Gandhi became fast friends. In 28th Feb 1968, Sonia and Rajiv were married in a simple non-denominational ceremony in the garden of 1, Safdarjang Road. Thus the cute lovers turn out to be the cute couple. The gifts of their love are Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi.
