The life of a post graduate student is always full of challenges. It is quite eventful yet monotonous. The label of grown-ups is sometimes more than a person can handle. whatever may come around; students always look around unique skeptical and analytical answers of simplest of the things. And the face expressions aaaah those plain faces are not very pleasing as well.

Once of one our lecturers got quite  bored of your regular approaches towards our studies and decided to give us a break. She stopped in the middle of the lecture and gave us a few pieces of puzzle. The aim was to make "T" of it within 10 minutes. According to her, this little activity will help us to find different angles for research and somehow will broaden our perspective.

It seemed that M Phil and PhD scholars failed to get the basic idea of logic and creativity. After 10 minutes, not a single group was able to complete it. She asked us to stop and look at the board closely. She drew the pattern and we just got the answer which was lying in front of us the whole time i.e. "The Right Angle". T


Instead of  teaching us to discover new angles  in our lives; Our education system currently focuses on providing new information to us which has ultimately weakened our analytical skills.

Fare......... fare

Scene 1: Three girls set from their university towards a near by hospital in order to do some community service. They had no choice but to use public transport . They decided to use a rickshaw as they considered it to be safer than cabs. None of them had much experience with the public transport but they decided to try their fate in the field of bargaining. They asked one Rickshaw about the fare he asked for Rs. 100. It was more than enough for such a short distance so they asked him to take Rs. 70. He agreed. They reached their within minutes and handed him a hundred rupee note and asked him for remaining money? "What money?" Asked the driver? I agreed on Rs. 100. Okay. "But we told you to that we will pay only Rs. 70?" They asked with surprise. "No way, I agreed on Rs. 100" He said while waving them away angrily. "Come on now, let it be, we will not die without it. HUH!" One of them said and headed straight. Scene 2: The same girls bo

“Water Temperature Effects on Fish and Aquatic Life”

Today I found this little piece of information in my personal "archives". It was probably the first ever assignment submitted at the beginning of my professional studies. Its fascinating how human knowledge grows over time.......... "Changes in temperature affect aquatic life. Temperature determines which organisms will thrive and which will diminish in numbers and size. For each organism there is a thermal death point. Also there is a range of temperature of that produces optimal abundance. Climate change is a cause of increasing concern to scientists and it will have decisive effects on marine mammals. How climate change will affect the ocean, which is home to marine mammals, is hard to predict since there are many factors that affect ocean ecosystems but here my emphasis will be on the effect of rise in temperature on “whales”. Long time ago, due to environmental changes, Marine mammals evolved to live in the ocean, but the effects of climate change may be
