Pushpa Gujral Science City offers a blend of education, curiosity and fun to ensure longer and repeated visits.

The project is aimed at cultivating an interest in science through open-ended exploration away from text books and black boards, with a scientific approach to problem solving.

The project has something for everyone, regardless of age, education, profession or social strata and is intended to make science accessible to people who are not part of the formal education system.

Explanations are also provided in Punjabi at most places

The complex is filled with many interesting stalls, each more captivating than the other

Laser Show

People are all smiles after show

The 3D show builds up the tempo slowly, and has a serpentine shock in the middle! :)

Citizens Speak:

A couple of shopkeepers at Model Town Market aired the views that ordinary shopkeepers should not have to close down and this is a political issue. They believe that outgoing governenment may be trying to create problems for the government in power. They ask, "Who is answerable for this?". One thing on which everyone agreed that such actions by the public at large make Life much difficult for daily wagers, who wake up in the morning unsure of the meal at night. The poorest pay the heaviest price, it seems.

The trick, actually fluke was that the camera being secured firmly on tripod with ISO setting to 400 achieved this.

The upper half seems like day, while the lower half clearly spots the headlights of cars and also the red tail light trails.
