National Science Day

-

 Today (28th February), the famous Indian scientist C.V Raman discovered an interesting phenomenon related to scattered light called Raman Effect. Who is this so-called C.V Raman, you ask? Just the legendary physicist who won a Nobel Prize in Physics! And with his discovery, he helped thousands who were working in this field. That is why he is our theme of the 2021 National science day and trust me, he deserves it.




Every year the theme is different like last year was women in science. Did you have any idea that nearly 93 years ago, a curious scientist researched how and why the sea blue, and just with that thought, drove deeper in the field of light and discovered an amazing breakthrough in science? Not that we are short of any surprises, but did you know that the day he discovered this phenomenon was today (28th February)??!! Close your eyes and think, this day, that year. 

I used to be so curious when I used to attend my science classes (Vikram Sarabhai centre here in Ahmedabad), in the labs, I saw his posters hung, as I read his history and how he got the Nobel Prize, I was absolutely in love with his theory and how with just a simple thought he achieved something extraordinary.

I also made a science day poster which came out well and I am embarrassed to say that I did not include him (Sorry Mr Raman, I’ll include you next time! ) but it took a lot of time to make, it was super fun. The pic is down below:


 

 

 

 

So, I know this blog is short but I hope you enjoyed it and while writing I myself learnt a little bit more history about who C.V Raman was. The next blog would be even interesting and until then, Sayonara!

How to learn from valuable experiences

-
 Earlier last week, I was attending a Debate Competition. My first, and I had reason to believe that I would perform wonderfully and raise myself a couple of notches in the context of public speaking and confidence. However, unexpectedly I performed so poorly that I would have cringed upon watching it. My topic was changed last minute and I had to redo all of my research while waiting for my turn to debate. I could blame it, but I should rather have a passive meditation on it on what exactly went wrong. Keep reading, you might learn something valuable too.  I took some time before the day of the debate to research the topic I was allotted, and I managed to make a 1000-word research and a one-minute speech to give in my 10-minute debate. Oh, and there were 3 people other than me participating in this same 10-minute debate. So I had reason to believe that I was well off, and well prepared. The only reason why I wasn't that scared to participate was that I was a MUNer ( A person ...

My thoughts on The Forests of Enchantments

Essay and Review on ‘ The Forests of Enchantments’ by Chitra Banerjee The Forest of Enchantments by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is the novel on Ramayana told in the voice of Sita, where she is at the heart of the novel. This book is also the justifying story of some of the other women in the epic, often misunderstood and disregarded by the margins such as Mandodari, Kaikeyi, and Surpanakhaa. This brilliant retelling deepens our understanding towards the original epic, and fills in the gap left by Sita's silent struggle throughout, for there has always been a disconnect between the truth of Sita, and the way the Indian culture thought of her. Our common opinion about Sita is usually: a character playing the supporting role, meek, long-suffering and one who bears her misfortunes with silent stoicism. however, this book completely changes that which makes us realize how joyous her life was, and how agonizing a pain she went through later. It stresses the fact, that Sita may have been t...

Newness in our lives is a necessity

-
 Today (10th march 2023) was quite a roller coaster. A nice one too. Today I got my report card, that one paper that comes in a large envelope, a day of nervousness and an absurd sense of peace in my soul (deep Ik). It stimulated my senses to feel absolutely nothing. This report card was for the annual percentage and honestly, I'm not satisfied. I mean that is toxic, to be frank. But somehow, there's always something. I still remember the day I was handed my biology sheet, which indicated that I had scored a perfect score in my cycle test in the subject. Somehow, there was this feeling of... unrest. Why? Maybe I'm just always used be unsatisfied with everything that I get.  Enough on that. However, what I wanted to emphasize today, was how I was influenced by this awkward sense of newness. My report card said, passed and promoted to IX and it was just this dream come true.  Pause . I want to say something that I have never told people, except those closest...
