Landing on the shores of Mumbai on 26/11, they planned to shake the will and courage of the Indian population . Those who saw the news of what 10 terrorists could do in Inda's most populated city ( also the financial capital of India) were appalled. Lady Eowyn's Lord Of the Rings dialogue " Courage!! Courage for our friends!!!" sounded in most of the houses as they waited for the police ( they were shell-shocked too) to take charge and arrest or kill the terrorists. Finally at 8:00 am on 29th Novemeber, the final attack was quelled by the NSG (National Security Guard) commandos killing 3 attackers who were holed out in the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel.

in the island which made him believe that he could put his skills to better use
by saving the world from bad villains.

LET THE FIGHT BEGIN !!!!
Justice League vs The Avengers
Well you most probably are wondering from where I have actually
got the idea to make these 2 awesome superhero teams fight, so let me explain…The
show “The Deadliest Warrior” is a show I love and it compares stats and fights
heroes and warriors who have never met in a battlefield before and then
predicts what the outcome might have been by simulating a 1000 battles fought
between the 2 warriors.. So I thought to myself, why not try this with the 2
greatest superhero teams –
The DC
Comics
“Justice League”
vs
The Marvel Comics
“The Avengers
Phatalogy - A new science
Phatas
are basically PJs or poor jokes. At one point of time in my hostel, the jokes
cracked were so bad that we had to standardize them and provide a measuring
tool for them. So the three of us (Soumabha, Suraj and Aditya ) along with Apurv Srivastava, Rishab Raj and
the master of them all Viswadeep Sarangi (mentioned here as Deepun) formulated the following laws just for
fun. Then we had them documented and posted so that it might provide some
amusement to you guys as well.
Coursera - Human Computer Interaction by Scott Klemmer
Well, I had no idea about what this course was about. My friend Rishi Bansal introduced me to the Coursera and Udacity websites to me after my 3rd year exams. As I had about 2 month holidays after the exams, I thought why not take up the courses offered and check out how good they are and what they have to offer.
Coursera vs Udacity
While all of them are
good and have provided good courses for us students, I would like to give a
brief comparison note between the 2 giants in the current market - Coursera and
Udacity..
Satyendranath Bose – Our beloved teacher
The following article is written by Juthika Ray Chaudhuri, who had the pleasure of being his student and learning from the great man himself. She passed out in 1952 and studied directly under him for 2 years before majoring in pure Physics with specialization in X Rays. Here is an article written by her about her experiences as student. She is now 81 years old and has tried her best to narrate the incidents as accurately as possible.

Well most of you might not have heard his name so I'll give a quick and a brief intro as to who he was and why I consider him the greatest. He was essentially one of the first Indian quantum
physicists who had the pleasure of working with Einstein. He laid the
foundation for Bose-Einstein statistics and the Bose-Einstein condensate. He
was awarded the Padma-Vibhushan by the Indian Government in 1954. Most of us
might have heard about bosons, they are particles which follow the
Bose-Einstein statistics and thus the inventor Paul Dirac named it after
Satyendranath Bose. One of the main goals of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at
CERN in Geneva is to test the presence of these Higgs-boson particles. He also
has the bose-gas named after him, the bose gas contains bosons and follows the
ideal gas equation. He died at the age of 80 in 1974.
Professor Bose was our beloved teacher. Now after so many
years ( I passed out of college in 1952). At that time he hadn’t received the
Padma Vibhushan one of the highest honours given by the Indian government so
was not very well known. He led a simple life and often wore dhoti and a white
coloured vest while the kurta rested on his shoulders. He often strode out of his car while his
driver carried his briefcase to his office.
INDIA , Y U NO WIN MANY MEDALS !!!!
The question which should be on every Indian’s mind –“Why is
a country with a population of 1.22 billion going gaga over a mere 6 medals that
they won at Olympics 2012?” Yes, I am talking about India and if you have any other
country in mind following the above criteria, then shame on them too. The point
is that even after having skilled and talented sportspersons we could manage
only 4 bronze and 2 silver medals. So what do we lack? Proper Training? Selfless
sportsmanship spirit? Funding? Publicity and Marketing?
