An Insight into the World of Science

In a world which is literally dominated and governed by technology, the importance of the study of science cannot be overemphasized. The impact of science on mankind is tremendous. It has turned what man at one point of time thought was unachievable into possibilities. There is hardly any sphere of human activity which science has not touched.
 Fortunately, science has emerged victorious in getting rid of all the myths and superstitions that have been cramming our brains.
Chemistry has been taught in some depth to us in seventh grade. A part of the chapter which explained chemical changes fascinated my mind. I was a bit puzzled at first as it was not easy to retain. There were lots of formulas and equations. But I began to enjoy it once I got the hang of it.
 Science has never been an easy-to-remember subject for me. I was terrified of having three sub-sections in the subject- Biology, Chemistry and Physics which would be taught to me in the later years. But I found out that word equations and formulas were pretty fun to solve when you understand the concept clearly.

Chemical changes enthralled my brain. It was very intriguing to know that a particular substance could change to another when put under a particular temperature, pressure or heat. I had always wondered how milk changed to curd when we put just a spoonful of curd into the milk and let it set at room temperature!! I was very relieved to have this enigma cleared through these captivating concepts.
Mankind has progressed speedily through the generations. Nowadays, we humans cannot start the day without checking for messages on our mobiles. New discoveries are being made each day with the help of scientific research. Man would not have stepped on the moon or landed on the distant Red Planet had it not been for science.

Aspiring scientists should be given opportunities and be encouraged all around the globe as they will help mankind progress even further and unearth something innovative and novel each day.

    Hi Harshita, very good write-up !!

    “need is the mother of all inventions”. Human beings crave to improve quality of life and few genius minds provide them radically different solutions.

    Necessity to move object with lesser manual effort invented the wheel, desire to fly like a bird guided the creation of aircraft, need of a man to listen music on-the go created Walkman. Such examples are numerous.

    So keep learning new things, experiment, and explore how best you can use insights for betterment of the world around!

Holiday Diaries: BANDHAVGARH! #2 The Journey To An Exotic Forest!

The Diwali vacations were round the corner and I was excited to go on holiday! Though, our school spared not even a week for us to thoroughly enjoy ourselves, we children (and teachers) were still looking forward to this much-needed break from varying degrees of stress in our lives. My family was in the process of finalising a holiday destination and were debating upon whether we should go to Delhi. I; for one, was thrilled! I had been wanting to visit the capital for some time now, so when the topic of vacationing arose, I was the first to pipe up and suggest Delhi. Seeing the various, stunning monuments would have been enjoyable as well as an excellent learning experience! However, much to my disappointment, we collectively agreed to the cancellation due to the terrible pollution (which can already be observed and felt), but which would increase during Diwali. My father told us that he'd booked tickets for our stay in Jabalpur and Bandhavgarh. I'll admit it: when I first h...

A Salute To Paralympians All Across The Globe!

Hey readers!! Apologies for not posting a single piece of writing  for such a long time! But today, I'm back with something which will make you ponder and spark a train of thought in your minds. India quivered with joy when "Thangavelu wins first gold medal at Summer Paralympics, 2016" was the blaring headline on every single news channel. With a contingent of 19 athletes, the largest delegation our country has ever sent to a Paralympic event, expectations of improving India's Paralympic medal tally had been roused. Their superb display of talent certainly outdid everybody's expectations! Citizens from all around the world go on a rave when the Olympics draws nearer, and it is fitting too; the prestigious event is hosted only once every 4 years! But how many of us; truly know and eagerly follow the proceedings of the event, equally as important as its predecessor, and which follows soon after it draws to a close? We know of Sindhu, Malik and Dipa Karmakar...

Colour.

Colour breathes joy and life into every creation, whether ancient or modern. Skin tones progress from palest white and dusky wheat to darkest ebony. In the words of Rupi Kaur – ‘It is a blessing to be The colour of the Earth How often must Flowers confuse me for Home.’ A prism splits light into all of its magnificence. Stained glass windows in high-ceilinged churches make light dance across the polished wooden floor. The sun sets over the horizon and plunges within cerulean seas and oceans. Left in its wake are splashes of colour; crimson, orange and golden, skipping across the waves, cruising along the blue surf. Inky stains bleed across the sky as twilight approaches. The advent of velvety indigo, purple and black symbolize them regaining their nightly territory and thus ensues a clash of colour- a real-life watercolour over the ocean. Night tiptoes stealthily and the crescent moon glides, her creamy gossamer gown trailing and dipping into the water. It has floate...
