“All round me are words, and words and words, They grow on me like leaves, they never Seem to stop their slow growing From within… But I tell my self, words Are a nuisance, beware of them, they Can be so many things, a Chasm where running feet must pause, to Look, a sea with paralyzing waves, A blast of burning air or, A knife most willing to cut your best Friend’s throat… Words are a nuisance, but. They grow on me like leaves on a tree, They never seem to stop their coming, From a silence, somewhere deep within…” ― Kamala Suraiyya Das, Summer in Calcutta
ABOUT THE POET
Kamala Das was born in the year 1934 in Malabar, Kerala. She received her education at home. Her mother wrote poetry in Malayalam and Kamala Das also published short stories in Malayalam before her first book of poems, Summer in Calcutta’ appeared in 1965 and brought her recognition. Her works in English include The Playhouse and Other Poems’ and her autobiography ‘My Story’.
Her poetry is frank and open. It impresses by being totally natural and distinctively feminine. Her favourite theme is fulfilment and unfulfillment in love and her expression is striking for its frankness and intensity of feeling. She won the poetry award of the Asian PEN, Manila in 1964 and the Kerala Sahitya Academy Award in 1969.
THE POEM
In this poem Kamala Das recreates idealized moments in her childhood. It is a nostalgic, sentimental reminiscence of her family home in Malabar. She remembers the landscape of Kerala. Others may be annoyed by the heat dust and noise, but she always longs for the hot noon in Malabar because it is associated in her mind with wild men, wild thoughts, wild love.’ It has been often said that her poetry is in the nature of a psychic striptease and she always exudes autobiography. Most of her poems deal with the theme of unfulfilled love, her search for love and her failure to get it. Some of them, like the poem under consideration also deal with the loss of her happy childhood in the family home in Malabar. She writes, from every city I have lived, I have remembered the noons in Malabar with an ache growing inside me, a homesickness.’
The poem is a nostalgic journey down memory lane and the poetess looks back on her pre-marital years when she lived happily in her family home in Malabar. She particularly misses the hot noons of Malabar when the streets of Malabar used to be crowded with interesting people and pleasant sounds, beggars, bangle-sellers, fortune-tellers and other strangers used to throng the streets. She confesses that no doubt her house in Calcutta also gives her a chance to see and hear similar type of people. In the Calcutta streets also can one see a fortune-teller with parrots and soiled cards, beggars and bangle-sellers sell their wares in sing-song voices. But there is a major difference between the noons in Malabar and those in Calcutta.
Everything and everybody in Malabar bore a look that was innocent pure and familiar. All pulsated with a warm and full life her home, the Malabar town and its landscape. Contrasted with it Calcutta appeared strange and dirty. The cries of the beggars, fortune- tellers and bangle-sellers jar harshly to the ears of the poetess. There are jungle voices and their eyes hot burning and wild. The heat of the noon in Calcutta is maddening and strange.
To live in Calcutta is a torture for Kamala Das as her mind and body reject this environment. Her soul yearns to return to her heavenly home in Malabar where she spent a joyous childhood.
Malabar was a place which the poetess associated with love but in Calcutta she finds the people to be freaks, abnormal persons who cannot love. The poetess attempts to show that the transition from childhood is from a world of joy and love into a cold, indifferent world. The childhood memories are a much-needed relief.

Acid Attacks in India is a gruesome act which almost finishes the lives of survivors. But the IPC in the year 2013 got amended. And now we have strict laws against acid attackers.
An acid attack is a very dangerous incident. This does not only happens in India but also happens in foreign countries. According to a survey most of the acid attacks have been reported in UK and Bangladesh. An Acid attack causes a serious threat to the body parts resulting in the deformation of the face, limbs & legs and it’s been observed that most acid attacks are targeted at the face of victims. Acid attack is a heinous crime. It makes the life of the survivor miserable. There are many motives for acid attacks. In India, the cause of such gravity offence happens due to love issues, rejections, sexual abuse, dowry, extra-marital reason, cruelty, ego and the list of reasons go on. This form of crime happens as a form of Revenge against women. Acid Attack is a gruesome act which is horrible in nature and has lethal consequences on the lives of victims. This kind of incident makes the life of the acid attack survivors tough and way more miserable. The victims go through a lot of pain mentally and physically. Often it’s seen, the victims don’t get social acceptance post the crime. This leads to psychological disorders in them. It creates a negative impact on the lives of women. The after-effect of an acid attack depends upon the concentration of acid thrown. Body part gets decomposed like the skull, lip, skin, face, lose of eyesight, cause of deafness, hairs & teeth are destroyed and the skin also shrinks. Sometimes the victims don’t even survive. It especially happens to women who are the victims. They often isolate themselves after such incidents. The crime against them creates post-traumatic effects. There has been an increasing rate of acid attack incidents all over the world. The Government is opening rehabilitation centres to such victims to overcome the horrible assault against them. Many NGOs have stepped forward against this social issue by creating awareness among people. In my point of view, there should be strict regulations regarding the sale and purchase of acids in shops. The acids which are used in acid attacks are very easily available and also its cheap. The easy access to such acids should be strictly regulated. Acid attack is seen as a very common issue in India. But deforming someone’s face or neck or the entire body is an attempt to kill. The lawmakers should make special laws for acid attack cases and the victims or else they should amend the IPC. In IPC section Section 326 deals with the acid attackers. But its scope is really narrow and it is not comprehensive in nature. Section 326 of the IPC does not exactly chalks out the facts but it’s also very shady. The punishment to the criminals is also not defined in this section neither the penalties and fines. But depending upon the seriousness of the offence I feel the acid laws in India should be treated seriously. Till now there was no specific law relating to acid attacks in India. But After the famous landmark case of LAXMI VS. UNION OF INDIA 2013, the acid laws are strictly taken into consideration and IPC got amended. Under Section 326A and 326B of IPC it was held that acid attack is a crime in India! The Code of Criminal Procedure Under Sec 357A and 357B got amended too!
Being an acid attacker victim is not easy! Starting a life from the beginning is not easy! Often it’s seen the victims do not get social recognition after such incidents. This is a big NO!! to such unhealthy hospitality. We should support and love the survivors for their courage!

The entire universe is conspiring to give you everything you want!
Abraham Hicks
The new fast-moving world indeed changes with every passing second, but along with its fast pace, the craze to access and achieve everything within a blink of an eye has found its place in the new modern world. With the growing network of TikTok’s and YouTube videos, the idea of manifesting your goals has taken over the lives of people around the globe. ‘Manifesting’ out of its traditional Cambridge dictionary explanation of to show something clearly, through signs or actions has now gained this broad meaning of practising inspirational thoughts to make them real. As the pandemic trapped us in a literal digital bubble, confined to our homes, “achieving things’” had a newfound meaning: to achieve is to manifest. During the year 2020, the google search logs showed a record surge in keyword Manifest. Google searches for the same were more than 669 per cent that year. Manifesting was the new addition to the bandwagon of crystals, essential oils and meditation. While compared to its contemporaries, manifestation routines have gained widespread popularity due to the zero-cost investment and quick, miraculous effects.
Manifesting in simple terms is making something you want to happen by simply believing it will happen. What forms the base of manifestations is the law of attraction, which states that we attract what we focus on. There are several manifestation methods that you can find online, the vision board method, gratitude journal, two cup method etc. But the basic idea that it depends largely upon is the positive mindset a person has towards achieving a goal and a feeling of gratitude for all that he has already. One of the treading manifestation methods that were made famous by tiktokers was the 3,6,9 Method.
The 369 manifestation method is said to be inspired by Nikolas Tesla’s numerology obsession. He believed that the numbers 3, 6 and 9 had a unique connection to the universe. Numerology experts believe the numbers three, six and nine stands for positive energy nurturing and fulfilment. It is a method of manifesting your goals by writing them down in a journal or a paper three times in the morning, six times in the evening and nine times before you sleep. To manifest a goal using this method, you’ll have to pen down your intention throughout the day. You start by writing your affirmation (the vision you want to manifest) three times in the morning in your journal/paper. During this time, visualise what you would feel, what would you do once you achieve what you are manifesting. In the afternoon, write your affirmation six times and express gratitude for whatever you already have. At night, before you wind up for the day, write your affirmation nine times and visualise the whole scenario and imagine what you might feel when you achieve your goal.
This technique helps you visualise your goal and bring about a positive change in how you look at your desires. The major takeaways from manifestation techniques are the importance of expressing gratitude and a positive outlook. So trust the process and believe in it until it manifests for you, for you become what you attract!
The JEE (Main) 2021 session 4 will now be held on 26th, 27th and 31st August, and on 1st and 2nd September 2021

My biggest fear in life is to settle down with a job that pays me well. A dream of many but a fear of mine. I want constant change. So, I can experience more. I want to live my life to the fullest. I want to make sure I do not settle anywhere.
I knew the life I wanted from a young age. But, that doesn’t mean it is an easy path. Our society expects a stereotypical decent job from us. Society wants to do what is easy. It wants us to start existing and forget living.
I cannot just exist. I want to live.
Living and existing both means to stay alive. But, existing is living a boring life and doing what is necessary for survival. While living is enjoying our time doing things we love.
Living doesn’t mean that you forget about your job. Our world is a place where we have to pay money to live. The concept does not make sense to me. But it is the sad truth. So we do have to earn to live.
For me living would require doing what I love and not just on the weekends. When I say I want to live, I mean that I want to enjoy my job. Which is a bizarre idea for people around me. To them, having a job or being successful cannot be fun.
What we all have to understand is that success is different for everyone. For some people, success will be settling down because they fear struggles. But, for me, success is doing what makes me happy. I know that my only way of succeeding in life is doing what I am passionate about.
When we are young, we all have a will to live our life to the fullest. But we grow up and are forced into reality. We get trapped in rules and responsibilities. We forget our true selves and start falling into the trap of existing. Existing is always accepted by society. Society wants us to simply exist. Even if it makes us unhappy.
We need to put a stop to that. We need to take life into our control. We don’t have to live a boring life for safety and security. All of us have a purpose in our life. Every single person has something that they love and would be good at. But, our society forces us to put our dreams aside.
A lot of people also fear not having a plan in their life. Which doesn’t make sense. You cannot expect 17-year-olds who barely have life experiences to choose what they want to do in their life. Things do not even go according to our plan. I know so many people who ended up doing things completely different than their plan.
So, I want you all to calm down. Take a moment to find yourself. Do what will make you happy.
It is your life. You are allowed to do what makes you feel alive. Listen to the stories of successful people. You will see them talking about how they stopped caring about society and following their dreams. That is what got them to a place where they are.
Waste management has evolved into one of the most pressing issues facing humanity today. We are producing massive volumes of garbage of all types as a result of the phenomenal growth in human population and industrial activity. Waste can no longer be dumped or buried and forgotten because of its sheer size. Electronic garbage is one of the most complex wastes to manage.
Lead glass, batteries, mercury, cadmium, chromium, and ozone-depleting compounds are among the toxins found in e-waste (CFCs). Electronic garbage is responsible for 40% of lead and 70% of heavy metals detected in landfills. Groundwater contamination, air pollution, and soil acidification are all caused by these contaminants. Impaired brain development, cancer, and liver and kidney damage are among the health issues linked to such poisons. Waste management is gradually becoming a sustainability concern, rather than just a problem to be solved. Waste management has evolved into a systematic process that includes the collection, transportation, and correct disposal of garbage, sewage, and other waste products, as well as the provision of various options for recycling and repurposing waste.
According to statistics, the globe created over 42 million tonnes of e-waste in 2014. India has surpassed China as the world’s fifth greatest producer of electronic garbage. Medical equipment accounts for around 8% of annual e-waste output, and it is increasing.
4R’s of waste management
Reduce: Producing more garbage and then attempting to control it consumes more resources and, in any case, increases dumping. Instead, campaigning for waste reduction in the first place is gaining traction. This entails extending the life of items and reducing use-and-throw options. Refurbishing medical equipment and utilising it for extended periods of time not only makes healthcare more inexpensive, but it also helps to reduce e-waste. The average life of medical equipment can be extended by at least 2-3 years with proper usage, frequent preventive maintenance, and calibration. We owe it to our environment to properly maintain our medical equipment so that it is not dumped unnecessarily and untimely.
Reuse: Use reusable alternatives whenever possible. As we all know, technology is always growing, and in the field of medical equipment, more items with higher capabilities are introduced every year. If hospitals want to improve their equipment, they could sell their existing used medical equipment to another hospital in tier II or III towns that could still use it. In hospitals, several medical devices are sanitised and reused on a frequent basis, including scissors, forceps, specula, and endoscopes.
Recycle: Breakdowns and a lack of spare parts are two of the most significant obstacles to utilising equipment longer. Electronic components and PCBs abound in medical equipment (Printed Circuit Boards). Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) such as the motherboard, power supply board, control board, transmit-receiving board, display board, Sensor Interface Boards, and others can all be repaired, which can help medical equipment last longer. Even X-Ray and CT tubes can be fixed and reused. In comparison to using newer parts or purchasing new equipment outright, these methods make it cheaper.
Repair: If a piece of medical equipment has reached the end of its useful life or is beginning to endanger the safety of a patient or user, it is best to dispose of it responsibly. Printed circuit boards contain a variety of elements that can be removed and utilised in new devices. E-waste contains ferrous metals, copper, silver, gold, and polymers, which can all be recycled and profitably repurposed in new goods.
TSP (Team Software Process) is a guideline for software product development teams. TSP focuses on helping development teams to improve their quality and productivity to better meet goals of cost and progress. TSP is designed for groups ranging from 2 persons to 20 persons. TSP can be applied to large multiple-group processes for up to 150 persons. There are 8 steps for implementing PSP and TSP. Each step is focused on solving particular process problems.
1. Objectives of TSP
1.To build a self-directed teams that plan and track their work, establish goals and own their process and plans. These can be pure software teams or integrated teams 2.Shows managers how to coach and motivate the team members so that they can give peak (high) performance. 3.It accelerate (increases) the software process development
2. Goal of TSP
The goal of the TSP is to build a ―Self-Directed‖ project teams that organizes itself to produce high quality software.
3. Activities of TSP
1) Project Launch: It reviews project objective and describes the TSP structure and content. It assigns need and roles to the team members and describes the customers need statement. 2) High Level Design: it creates the high level design, specify the design, inspect the design and develop the integration plan. 3) Implementation: This uses the PSP to implement the modules and the functions. 4) Integration and Testing: Testing builds and integrates the system. 5) Postmortem: Writes the cycle report and produces peer and team review.
4. TSP Advantages
Defines roles and responsibilities for each team member.
Track quantitative project data.
Identifies a team process that is appropriate for the project and a strategy for implementing the process.
Defines local standards that are applicable to the team‘s software engineering work;
Continually assesses risk and reacts to it;
Tracks, manages, and reports project status.

Shashi Tharoor is a writer and that too an extraordinary one. He is a legend and his pen has the power to change the world through his words. He writes others maybe imagine but can not put into appropriate words. He has many published works which are just perfect. One such work of his is the book named An Era of Darkness : The British Empire in India. This book was also published in United Kingdom under the name Inglorious Empire : What the British did to India. It was of course a best seller. This book basically depicts what is in Shashi Tharoor’s mind about the British rule in India. His ideology about the British Empire is written in this amazing work. Through this book he wants us to know about “the origins of the difficulties that confronted India.” , as stated by himself. In simple words, he wants us to understand about the evils of the British Rule in India and how it affected us. He strongly desires an apology from the British, same as whole of the country does. In his opinion, an apology would be most desirable, rather than compensation by cash or other valuables. This book also exposes the corruptions during that period along with questions their claim on superiority.
He deeply explains the way how it all came to the establishment of British Empire and also about why it all happened. He puts light on the manipulations of the British on the people of our country. He has clearly stated in his book that “this book is an argument and not a story.” He argues that the ruling record of the Indian governments is far better than the British. He accepts the fact that the British has in fact paid the reparations in form of aids over the years, but he is adamant that they were not due to guilt. According to Tharoor, India suffered many problems and conflicts due to racism, wars, disputes for kingdoms and other several problems, under the British Rule. He also states in his book that “this just basic knowledge about the history of our country but is still unknown even to the educated Indians.” He stresses on his point of the reparations, by saying that day by day it is getting late to amend things but it’s certainly not that late. The damage is done but can still be somewhat repaired to some extent.
Tharoor has remarked that every single thing the British did and the rules they imposed on the citizens were for their own benefit and not ours. He is right of course in all his arguments. The correct word for the Rule of British in India has to be ‘rotten’. The British Rule and their Empire was rotten in terms of all the policies they put up to follow, all the standards as compared to ours. He has done an impeccable job on the book and made us realize what we had forgotten with time.
A group of students with team named “AVISHKAR” from IIT Madras have been working tremendously towards the technology behind the future of transportation, HYPERLOOP. The team comprises of forty students from various department of IIT, madras. They have been working on this new prototype hyperloop project since last November.
BUT, WHAT IS HYPERLOOP?
Basically, hyperloop is a high speed mass transportation system. A hyperloop is a super speed ground-level transportation system in which people could travel in a hovering pod inside a vacuum tube at speeds as high as 760 mph (1220 km/h).
While talking about the product, Neel said, “Hyperloop is a proposed mode of transportation in which many pods will be traveling inside a vacuum tube, capable of attaining high speeds due to no air friction and reduced air drag.” It IS the fifth and most efficient mode of transportation that the world is moving towards, he added. Further he said, “Because Hyperloop is sustainable, it works on electrical energy, we can install Solar panels on top of the tube, which could store energy and the same energy could be used to propel the hyperloop. This is way more sustainable .”
HOW DOES A HYPERLOOP WORK?
It has three major components: a tube, pod, and terminal. The tube is a large low pressure system that is sealed and tube can be constructed either above or below the ground. A pod is a coach that runs inside this controlled system and this pod employs magnetic or aerodynamic levitation along with electromagnetic or aerodynamic propulsion to glide along a fixed guideway. The terminals are used for arrivals and departures. Hyperloop is based on simple science called Magnetic levitation. But one thing that needs to be noted is, that it requires complex machinery and sensors to make a Pod travel at nearly 1000 km/h inside a vacuum tube. However the team has cracked that and named their pod “GARV”, which translates to “PRIDE”. It consists of Carbon Fiber shell, packed with advanced machinery and sensors.
STATEMENT:
Pranit, who is Head of Braking Module, said that Garv is their second Pod which is more efficient and lighter than the one they designed for SpaceX. “This time we are introducing several technologies like linear induction motor to achieve ‘contactless propulsion’ and ‘contactless braking. The motor produces a magnetic field which makes the Pod move forward and the contactless Braking has magnets which come closer to the rail, creating a Braking force and decelerating the Pod,” Pranit added.
Parth, a member of the Controls team, said, “Our team started in November. Everything we did online such as brainstorming sessions and discussions about the simulations. Once we were confident, we came back to the institute and started working on the Pod.” He said, “We are participating in European Hyperloop Week which will be conducted on 19th – 25th July and Valencia, Spain. Because of the pandemic, we are forced to compete virtually, but that is not a setback for us.”
EUROPEAN HYPERLOOP WEEK SELECTION:
With all their hard work, they have now crossed the hurdle and are qualified for the European Hyperloop Week that is to be held in Valencia, Spain from July 19 to 25. The team will participate virtually due to pandemic restrictions. With upgraded prototype, the team estimates the travel time between Chennai and Bangalore to be a mere 30 minutes ride instead of a six hours journey. They are also working on the study of energy, costs, demands and other aspects of hyperloop so as to access the economic feasibility of hyperloop in India.
Happiness is a state of mind which we possess when something good happens to us and we feel that goodness at our heart. This is an abstract feeling which is not materialistic and cannot be bought by money or some other possession. Happiness brings with itself a lot of positivity and also provides us with the motivation to go ahead and achieve other milestones. Happiness also maintains the zeal and enthusiasm for doing things and experiencing new paths. Happy state of mind also increases the age of people and lets them live a longer life.
Happiness is a key to healthy life; it sets a soul free and encourages it to explore the world and also gives us power. Happiness is a part of being successful in life it is that fruit which we all want to grow and thus we do so much of hard work throughout our entire life so that we can live a happy peaceful life after all. Happiness cannot be ever faked it comes straight out from our heart and it is priceless. At the end of a hard-earned day all we care for is some peace and happiness in our families and ourselves so that we can start another fresh day ahead.

5. Gratitude :
Gratitude creates positive emotions, like different types of happiness, joy, love, and contentment, it can undo the hold of negative emotions. It goes hand in hand with mindfulness in its focous on the present and greatfulness for what we have now, rather than wanting more and more.
6. Excitment :
Excitment can be anything from about a new job or moving to a different place and motivates youbto work harder and channel that positive energy into more constructive activity. Excitements is fleeting. It dissipates rather quickly and can turn into ennui. It sometimes acts as a motivating factor , and execitment often leads people to likely make a decision.

* Gratitude.
* Be present
* Manage time Effectively
* Set smarter Goals
* Embody an Empowering morning Routine
* Tackle the MITs
* Focus on Health and wellbeing.
