Down and Dusted

Rahul had just got his board exam results.  His parents were elated that their son had performed well. Rahul expected the rest of his holidays to be just fun.  That evening his father calls him for a small chat. Rahul is surprised to find his entire family there.  His dad asks him, “So what have you  thought  about  your future?” Rahul is just a school pass out, little does he know about what he wants to do. “I think engineering is a good option“, his uncle chips in, “although if he wants to take medicine is also fine”  comments  his aunt. “I have even given him an option of pursuing commerce, provided he is willing to try for C.A or law “, comments his dad. The entire family nod on the wide variety of choices they have provided  the  young  15 year old.  They call themselves generous for giving him so many  choices  and  comment  how  that  did  not happen back in their time. What does h...

Netherlands creates history

Image
In almost all the countries across the globe, cell phones are not fully integrated with sim cards that allow you to change operators without removing the sim card as these are illegal. Netherlands has become the first country to legalize this.This concept of fully integrating  the cell phone with sim card helps expand the concept of internet of things. Now you may be thinking what is internet of things? The Internet of Things refers to uniquely identifiable objects and their virtual representations in an Internet-like structure.If all objects and people are assigned some identifiers then they can be detected and managed by computers. Thus, when carrier free sim cards are integrated in the cell phone then the customer can change the carrier according to their requirement.

MH370 goes missing

Image
  MH370 went missing on 8th March,2014 with 239 people on board while flying from Kuala Lampur to Beijing.Malaysian authorities say that the last signal from the plane was received at around 1:07 am via the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS), an automated system that relays performance data about each flight (including turbulence, fuel usage and any maintenance concerns) to the airline.After some time (around 40 minutes) the plane's transponder stopped transmitting and the ground control center lost contact with the plane.The plane was last traced at northern part of the Strait of Malacca and the last signal received was "All right,Good night" which was spoken by the co-pilot, Fariq Abdul Hamid.    Since then many countries have joined hands with malaysia in their search operation for the plane.But no traces of the plane have been found so far.Many theories have risen to explain how the plane went missing.The missing MH370 included pa...

Introvert-so what??

Image
    Why do we become so judgemental when it comes to people who are introverts?????Why are such the ones who have to be disregarded constantly??? Afterall,being introverts is a normal personality preference and not a disability or a disease. However,such people are a minority hence others do not recognize this trait;it becomes difficult for them to keep up with the world dominated by the so called ‘extroverts’.The significant thing which one needs to understand is that they choose to be on their own as they want their own space.. Introverts don’t particularly   lead an unhappy life.Especially the college life which is expected to   be the most fun filled years of a person’s life,burdens them with the psychological load of peer pressure..Introverts   seem to be lonely,but deep down they live in their own woven world.They may be homesick,missing their familiar friends,family and places.In this case ,some new friends and for sure some new experi...

An effort to solve dark energy puzzle

Image
         To probe one of the most fundamental questions in modern cosmology about the existence of dark matter   NASA has teamed up with the European Space Agency.According to the estimates of ESA’s Euclid mission, a space telescope designed to investigate the cosmological mysteries of dark matter and dark energy will launch in 2020. Euclid will spend six years mapping the locations and measuring the shapes of as many as 2 billion galaxies spread over more than one-third of the sky. It will study the evolution of our universe, and the dark matter and dark energy that influence its evolution in ways that still are poorly understood. The telescope will launch to an orbit around the Sun-Earth Lagrange point L2 — the location where the gravitational pull of two large masses, the Sun and Earth in this case, precisely equals the force required for a small object, such as the Euclid spacecraft, to maintain a relatively stationary pos...
