3R's of Life!!!

Image
  Reduce Reuse and Recycle  - the 3R’s of Environment to keep Mother Nature clean. Likewise, a definition of 3R’s of life aids in the potential growth of a human in all aspects. The very first R is what we all are used to, from birth till death,  Receive.  Every one of us has been used to receive love, care, attention, affection but not to receive life as it comes. Life is a stream, just “Flow Along”, like how a river takes everything in its path. Acceptance of reality is a huge lesson that none can master, but everyone goes through a journey to achieving it. We all live a world where we hardly hear a “no” until a certain point in life, after which our actual life begins. By human nature, we tend to accept good situations easily but receiving the bad ones is where our strength lies. Planned or unplanned actions both have the same probabilities of success and failure. One needs to have a calm patient mind to gain success and maintain it proudly, not boastfully. Simi...

How General Theory of Relativity proved the possibility of Time Travel.

Image
Time travel has always been a fascinating topic to think about. Will we ever be able to see the future or travel back in time? Would there ever be a time machine or are there any other means to travel through time? What would be the consequences of time travel? What is the Grandfather Paradox? These are just some of the questions that arise when we talk about time travel. But let's start from the beginning.  Sir Issac Newton is considered the greatest scientist of all time. His understanding of Gravity is one of the major leaps in the field of physics. He came up with the Inverse Square Law based on the works of Kepler who told that the celestial bodies "somehow magnetically" moved in an elliptical path around the Sun. Newton wasn't satisfied with the explanation and studied the revolution of the Moon around the Earth. His theory states that the gravitational force of an object depends on its size and the distance between 2 objects. But he always believed that gr...

A CONSTANT SEARCH FOR – AN IDEAL FRIEND

Image
Friendship is one of the purest form of relationships. As a ship sails both on a calm sea and the roaring tides, our life goes through good and bad times. The material used to build a ship is very important to weather all the badgering it receives during a storm. In the same way, a friendship also requires Love, Trust, Genuinity, Honesty, and Selflessness to Make a Friend "ship" stronger. The one person that we constantly search in our parents, siblings, partners, and even strangers is for that one soul that always understands what we want and what we feel without even having a conversation about it. There are no fixed parameters to being a friend. We search for different traits in different people, which makes each friend different than the other. That’s the beauty of friendship which helps us to connect with each person individually. Remember the time when we used to make the things around us, our friends? As kids, the toys our parents bought us were very precious. We...

Back to the Future - Evolution of Smartphones.

Image
In the present day and age, waking up and not using a mobile phone is almost unheard of. Smartphones now have such an enormous impact on every aspect of our life by making everything so easily accessible at the palm of our hands. The smartphones now have more computing power than most laptops. But how did it all begin? The Motorola DynaTAC 8000X . In 1984, it became the first commercially available handheld cellular mobile phone. A full charge took roughly 10 hours, and it offered 30 minutes of talk time. It also offered an LED display for dialing or recall and could store 30 phone numbers. It weighed 794 g and stood 33cm high. It cost a whopping US$3995, which after adding inflation would cost $9912 in 2020. Though the creator, Martin Cooper, made the world's first phone call in 1973, which weighed around 2kg, it took the company over a decade to bring it to the market. Now we have a phone that is smaller than your thumb! Zanco tiny t1 claims to be the smallest phone in the mar...

ABCD but UVWY makes Achievers!

DREAM , the most fantasized aspect of all our lives. Not the one which occurs as a series of thoughts, images, and sensations that occur during sleep. The one which is the ray of hope, a reason to live for, ambition, aspiration, goal to be an inspiration to millions of dreamers out there. Can you think of one person who doesn’t have dreams? It is embedded in people's lives that Dreams leads to success. YES, Anybody and Everybody dream to feel the sense of contentment. “Dream Big”, “Never stop Dreaming” are some of the buzz words of the younger generation. But the number who actually live their dream is few. Contemplating on why the count is less, living up to our dreams requires a lot of perseverance, resilience to strive all the odds and belief in our weird imagination. Your Dream, might not be logical or achievable for others and that’s the reason people end up telling “Don’t Day Dream” , which is a pessimistic comment which drives many of us away from it and forces us to liv...

Are you Real? - The Simulation Hypothesis

Image
As we all know, our computing power is increasing day by day. It was just 77 years ago when the first computer, ENIAC, was invented which occupied 1800 square feet in area and weighed at a whopping 50 tons. Now we have computer systems that are presently computing the combinations of various compounds that could control the spread of the Corona Virus. They run for tens of hours connected to multiple CPU's and run multiple combinations at the same time. And the technology to construct complex simulation games are up and booming. We are able to create games where we give a character a set of missions to accomplish. Now imagine a day when you can create a simulated world so perfectly, containing humans and other life forms as real as you and me, to a degree where you can put together every single neuro-synaptic thought that a person can have and also giving that character the perception of free will! Give that line another read .  This is called the Simulation Hypothesis , where we...

A-Cap for the Bottle!

Image
It's the small things in life that matter the most. This blog is about one of the smallest, yet a prominent part of our lives which is undervalued. A Bottle . In the present-day world, the word bottle is almost synonymous with alcohol! But whether it's an actual water bottle that comes to mind or alcohol, both hold value in one's life but the difference being one is essential and the other is presumed to be an elixir!   The bottle has been a part of our life right from our toddler days. We all were sometime or the other, bottle-fed. As we grew older, we carried it everywhere we went, starting from school to the bedside table just before we sleep, from playgrounds to office room tables. Without us ever giving it a thought, it has always been around us.   Earth is filled with 71% of water, yet women and children in developing parts of the world, have to walk an average of 6km daily to get water that is often contaminated with disease-causing pathogens. Humans can surviv...
