In search of a Dark Knight

India continues to be unled despite a Rising Rahul in a falling Congress and a towering Modi in a stagnant BJP...

India 2013. We are still led by the same worn-out technocrat, and a party which believes in succession right of a family than in democracy. A disarray main opposition party which has been swelled with egos and smuggled by personal ambitions, ever since the fall of Vajpayee; looks towards a promising but tainted Modi.

Republic Day

So, two more days to another Republic Day. The same Republic Day Parade. Most people sitting back at home and watching Chak De India or Border. A vague sense of patriotism, followed by cynicism hitting us. What's new?

One might argue how things seem to have changed in the past few years. We have awakened, held mass protests and are slowly moving towards India 2.0

edX - 6.00x Introduction to Computer Science and Programming

My first course with edX was always going to be special. Learning from the MIT Open Courseware from the beginning of my college life, I was delighted to know from a friend that MITx was going to be launched. This MITx soon flowered into edX, a joint collaboration with Harvard and other notable colleges. After the success of 6.002x which was taught by Anant Agrawal, they introduced another course - 6.00x which taught the basics of Computer Science through Python. Eager  to learn more of Python I joined this course with much enthusiasm.

The topics were segmented into 13 major parts and taught by the very famous Eric Grimson, John Guttag and Chris Terman.
