Do you ever open your social media and feel like everyone is progressing but you? Do you get that sinking feeling? and often takes over every other emotion and all that is left is dismay. We often hear things like “don’t be fooled by social media” or “everyone shows their success not their failure” but in the end one still ends up thinking about how lucky those people are without knowing what they have been through. That is the power social media has over our minds and emotions.
Thinking about what’s wrong with our lives and not realizing how better off we are than most people makes us an ungrateful human being. Instead of thinking what goes on in other people’s lives wouldn’t it be more beneficial if we just focused on our own. Well it definitely would be but it is easier said than done. Every night we go to sleep thinking that tomorrow I will get my life together and the next morning if even a single things doesn’t go by our plan, we abandon the plan all together. If this keeps happening we slip in a phase where there is only one thought “why aren’t good things happening for me”. Well let me tell you this, if you keep waiting around for things to magically happen, you will be waiting forever. All you have to do to make things happen is HUSTLE.
Again, it is easier said than done but we all have to start somewhere. Let’s begin with adopting a positive mindset. In order to do so we must accept that everything that happens, good or bad happens for a reason and the outcome will only make us stronger. If we proceed towards our goal thinking about the joy and satisfaction it would bring us then maybe we won’t have to struggle so much to begin. Next, we must not procrastinate. Procrastinationis the mother of all problems. Try to finish your tasks when you receive them. This will give you the sense of accomplishment you so desire. Put everything you got in the task. Give it your best shot and let your work speak for itself. Another thing to keep in mind is to never let a third party discourage you. A lot of people desire what you have and they will try to stop you from going further. You must never let anyone come between you and your goal. Keep going until you know you are there.
Hustling is a part of life. You have to constantly work on yourself to reach where you want to go. Nothing in life comes easy. If everything was that easy you wouldn’t be feeling so dejected all the time. When you do all the work and see the results yourself, let me tell you there is no greater satisfaction than that. As they say “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. It takes time for great things to happen and if you keep going they eventually workout. So, don’t be fooled by those posts on social media because you need to know that even they worked hard to get there and who knows how many failures they have faced even though they don’t show it. All you need is a new perspective towards your life and it is a smooth sail from thereon.
Bollywood and fashion go hand in hand. Come to think of it, they both have massively influenced each other. Fashion has always given the characters of Bollywood a distinguished definition, and Bollywood has inspired many fashion trends; be it wedding attires or casual outfits and has been doing so since forever. The audiences have looked up to actors for fashion and personal inspirations. While certain fashion trends are evergreen, the other tends to repeat itself every 10 years, which is why Anarkalis are still an ongoing trend. The trendsetters often visit the past to revive the old idea with a little modern twist.
Bollywood has been influencing fashion since its early days. While the 50s was about the dapper suits and sarees with pearl necklaces, the 60s was about vibrant colors, winked eyeliners and fringes.
1. Mughal-E-Azam:
One of the most iconic movies of all times gave us one of the most iconic trends which seem is here to stay. Mughal-E-Azam, the epic Indian historical love story between the price and court dancer gave the fashion industry the most iconic ethnic wear. Anarkali (Madhubala), the talented dancer, wore the outfit in the song Jab Pyaar Kiya toh Darna Kya justifying the name of the outfit after the character.

Zeenat Aman’s character Jasbir is grown by in Montreal, hence bringing the western look in Indian cinema and breaking the stereotype.
5. Bobby:
Polka Dots are one of those evergreen trends that can be pulled off at every occasion. However, it would be difficult to pin down, how polka dots came into the limelight. It was through Dimple Kapadia and Rishi Kapoor’s Bobby, a modern-day Romeo Juliet with a twist and a different ending. Unlike the 60s, the 70s was more about crop tops and miniskirts, and we have Dimple Kapadia to thank for that. Her polka dots top and skirt were trendy then and are trendy now!

Sridevi and her exemplary style in Chandni won hearts all over the country. It was her who brought in the love for chiffon sarees and continued the same in Mr. India as well. Chandni was an epic love story of sacrifice which resonated with masses as did Sridevi’s style. After the movie, the demand for chiffon sarees was at the peak and seen around a lot.
8. Maine Pyaar Kiya:

10. Rangeela:
The 90s college girls were solely inspired by Urmila’s fashion in Rangeela. Her Denim shirts with skirts or colorful pants created a sporty look for the girls to be comfortable in. Rangeela had an impact on the crowd, storywise as well as fashion-wise. The fashion trend set by the movie was hard to beat.
11. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai:
Jumpsuits, Bob cuts, body tight polo t-shirts, and colorful friendship bands are to name a few trends that were seen being adopted by masses after the movie. KKHH was a sensational movie that connected with the audience so much that the country replicated every fashion possible from the film.
12. Mohabbatein:
The dynamic duo of very talented Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were paired in the movie. SRK, the trendsetter who is a professor in the film, has a nerdy look. The high-neck polo sweaters over the shirts with specks made the girls go gaga! While beautiful Aishwarya brought back the chiffon sarees in pastel colors. A pastel version of Chandni, perhaps?
13. Dil Chahta Hai:
Dil Chahta Hai did not only highlight the Goa trip we all want to go on with our friends, but also made Leather pants a hype. The movie inspired the crazy party clothing for the clubs in early 2000. It was all about the urban chic fashion and contemporary art, which was the highlight of the 2000s.
14. Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham:
Pooh’s backless or Pooja’s Sharara, take a pick! K3G, was a classic family drama movie with so many fashion tips.

16. Parineeta:
Vidya Balan’s very first movie was one of the classiest trendsetters. Based on the novel written in 1914, Parineeta had picked up a few fashion trends from the era and created a beautiful fusion with modern fashion. Sticking to the authenticity, Balan wore full-selves blouses and suits which were later adopted by the ladies keeping it simple and beautiful.
17. Jab We Met (2007): T-shirts with Patiala salwar pants:
This was not long ago when Kareena’s dialogues got famous as well as her Patiala Salwar pants with Tshirts. The casual attire got so prominent that every college girl was seen wearing one. Moreover, Kareena’s outfit in the song, Nagada was another traditional hit. She was the first to wear, a suit-salwar with no matching color combinations, which was a fashion statement of its own.
18. Dostana:
Karan Johar’s magic is visible in the movie even though he just produced the movie. Dostana, the romantic comedy movie was way ahead of its time and trying to break the stereotypes. The film was excellent in terms of fashion. Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s no jewelry look was iconic and hard not to follow, but more than that, the song ‘Desi Girl’ got the low-waist golden saree the appreciation it deserved. One of the highlights of the 2000s fashion.
19. Wake up Sid:
Laidback lazy Ranbir Kapoor’s portrayal of Sid was probably the most relatable character for any college going student. His fashion resonated with the audience so much that everyone made an extra effort to look for perfect graphic t-shirts to wear to college.
20. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani:
One of the best onscreen pair is undoubtedly Ranbir and Deepika. In the movie, they followed different styles, given the film leaps forward a few years. In the first half of the movie yeh jawaani hai deewani, Ranbir’s Leather Jacket caught everyone’s attention. And during the second half, Deepika’s dark blue chiffon Saree became a party trend.

EFFECTS OF INSPIRATION
The word “Inspiration” rings out many bells in one’s mind. It suggests many feelings such as promise and self-confidence which further charges up the other emotions to move forward in whatever domain one want to. Inspiration is a highly effective dose to bring out all the hidden personalities and characters in one’s disposition, which helps him or her to comprehend the potential and attain the set goals.
IT IS OMNIPRESENT
All the renowned and celebrated people who have made a mark in their life have been inspired and motivated at some or the other point of their life. We can take examples of people in the field of Art, Music and Medicine’ or in the field of Technology. Even politicians and great saints cannot be ruled out. One can get inspired in countless ways, it can be verbal, written or may be through some of the work done or an example set by the person they kind of became role models. When you carry a deep feeling for a person, you start trusting and have a blind faith in his thinking and philosophy and just start following the tracks without even being sure of that.
WE ALL NEED A MENTOR
The person you are impressed with or whom you ae following becomes your counsellor and you have to consider him like your ‘leader’. Only then, benefits can be gained and dreams can be appreciated. If we turn the pages of history Arjuna got so inspired after Lord Krishna’s sermons and he realized that if he did not listen to Lord Krishna at that time, then he will not be able to fight and protect Dharma’, as by that time he was totally influenced.
A TRUE LEADER ENKINDLES OUR FAITH IN THE ACTION
There are many saints who have earned name and fame in people’ s heart by simply following their ‘expert’ for an inspiration in life. So, an inspiration coming from the right person helps us to internalize our goals and we attain our mission Sometimes when we are depressed and are literally down in the junkyards, at that time a Comforting sentence or a gentle hand on the head gives us much required and desirable confidence and assurance. Such motivation goes a long way.
SUPPORT INSPIRATION
Therefore, one can work hard only if there is moral support and inspiration. As the saying goes that there can be perspiration only if there is an inspiration.

Due to the pandemic, Income saving and consumption patterns have changed. Consumers are delaying high ticket size commitments like home loans, auto loans, lot of discretionary expenses like vacations etc.
The positive thing is that a lot of consumers are monitoring their credit profile and are becoming credit conscious. People are becoming more and more aware of the importance of maintaining their credit profile and keeping a check on their credit score. Nowadays, before a loan is granted, the bank or financial institutions assess the credit profile of the candidate to ensure that they are capable of paying it back and have a clean record.
As credit becomes easily available with time especially since credit cards gained popularity, many of us tend to procrastinate or delay the repayments according to our convenience but what many of us don’t know is that it impacts our credit profile and score.
Therefore, it is important to keep a track on our credit record and maintain a good credit score.
How to check your credit score?
One can check the credit score via a credit bureau such as TransUnion CIBIL, Experian, Equifax etc. TransUnion CIBIL is arguably the most popular provider of credit score in India. You can access the latest credit report by paying the prescribed fee on CIBIL website.
Credit score usually ranges from 300 and 850. A fair score is between 550 to 700 and a very good credit one ranges from 700 to 900. The higher the credit score, the higher will be your creditworthiness.
Let’s understand some credit basics.
CIBIL SCORE VS CIBIL RANK
A Cibil Score is a 3-digit numeric summary of a credit profile. Data of past 24 months of any kind of loan or credit card that has been taken by an individual in the past is compiled and using algorithms a number is generated. It lies between 300-900.The higher the score, the better.
For businesses there is Cibil Rank. It is derived from company credit report. Ranges from 10-1 and 1 is the best rank an entity can get. A lot of government schemes are dependent on cibil ranks. Quicker loan approvals and lower interest rates are provided by banks based on it as well.
Government is providing relief with schemes like Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme, Atma Nirbhar Abhiyan, Moratorium Scheme by RBI etc. A lot of institutions are also directly educating consumers to encourage them to have a healthy repayment profile.
Moratorium scheme- Moratorium is the time period (earlier it was 3 months, now it is 6 months) where consumers will have an option to defer their payments for a future period. This is not a waiver it is a deferral with an interest. Hence, it is recommended to opt for it only if you truly need it as it will have an impact in the long run. Pay outstanding as soon as moratorium period ends so your credit score and report is clean.
How to stay Credit conscious?
Making timely payments to have a high credit score.
Save to Pay back
Continue to maintain the credit utilisation expense. Once lockdown opens, apply for new credit and moderation.
Monitoring the credit profile monthly to track any changes or frauds happening in your name or account using the alert facility.
Artists who create the magnificent form of artwork usually portray their inner personality in there all forms of art. They represent who they are, and how their psyche is. The creators of extraordinary art live a life of incompleteness, dullness, and hollowness within themselves.
Their creativity glorifies their inner self and how miserable their life is. All legendary wizards of art contribute incredible work despite having and living a horrible life. Whether it is Shakespeare who lost her 8yr old daughter, or whether it is Franz Kafka who had a fractured/failed relationship with his own father, or whether it is J.K. Rowling who had lived a miserable life striving between her failed career and failed family life while being a single mother, these all examples are basically the real lives of these great writers who imprinted their skills and printed their hands in the history of literature forever.
There are serval times when artists fail living in a complicated society when they are being judged and due to several cultural mishaps, which affect their lives. Likewise, The Novella “Artists of Disappearance” is one among them.
Artists of Disappearance – A Novella about unsuccessful Artists
This is a Novella, which is only one of its kind in its own way because this novel which has 3 novellas within it talks about what happens when the artists fail to satisfy their piece of art? How can an artist fail in his forte? For a writer/ or an artist the art is the reason why they survive in this uncanny world where there is a bridge between the writer and the injustices held against them, which ultimately oppose a writer to create their art! Readers will experience some kind of queries in their heads if they read these stories written by Anita Desai.
The writer had beautifully written these stories especially for the contemporary readers who are bustling their life and don’t have much time to read. But this Novella is amazing as all the 3 stories are somewhere relatable to readers of all ages.
“The Museum of Final Journey” –
This is the first novella of this book which is narrated by an unnamed Government bureaucrat who wanted to be a writer but unfortunately had to suppress his long writing career due to his father’s dream and expectation of his son to follow his footsteps and become a govt bureaucrat. As the story moves forward, we see that in the later years of the life of the narrator when he was a junior official and was posted into one of the remote areas, he describes his past experience as a flashback to the readers.
His experience was something which brought him in a state of apathy when one day an old man who was the caretaker of the “Mukherjee estates” came to the office for a favor to rescue the treasures of the states as some people were stealing it and disrespecting those precious things by exporting it to other countries. The Museum, which was now an abandoned museum for the residents living there, still had authentic elements present in it.
As the narrator quotes that: “While others dreamt dreams and lived lives of imagination and adventure, my role was only to take care of the mess left by them.” When the official comes in counter with the museum, he realizes the art and his life, his life is rusty and mundane like the dust-covered on the treasure’s museum, even if he tries to save the estate the art will be auctioned by other greedy people. When the artist dies, the art is never protected rather it becomes a means for greedy people to fulfill their needs.
The narrator finds himself and the Museum similar and ended his story by having this grief that he should have followed his dream, yet he was a failed writer whose life was hollowed and gloomy.
“Translator, Translated”–
Another story of a journey of a Failed writer, who is the protagonist of the story, named “Prema”, whose life was miserable and uncertain. She lived a mundane life as an English professor in a girl’s school where her own students mocked her and criticized her due to her appearance and her age. She didn’t have any goal and she always compared and envied her life with others, especially with one of her school acquaintances “Tara” who was now an editor head in a feminist publishing company.
When these 2 characters collide in one of the school programs, Tara allowed her to do a translating job. Initially, Prema’s journey as a translator was like a “Carousel”, but things fall apart when she tried to translate an Oriya book written by Suvarna Devi into English which later on ended her writer career ultimately.
Translating is a form of art that depends on how the translator deals with the language and brings the best piece of all. It becomes a sentimental concern if the translated work is not satisfied by the readers. This is what happened in the end, as her translated book didn’t receive much appreciation and in the end, Prema lost her dream to become an eminent writer and went back to her mundane life of being an English professor.
Her failure proves to us that, as the art fairs, the artists die! As the artist in Prema was dead when the art didn’t flourish. Her ability to write was dead when she drained by her own skills and failed with her own existence as an artist.
“The Artist of Disappearance” –
This is the title story of the novella with a protagonist named “Ravi” who had an unfortunate life who had been adopted at a very young age by a very wealthy couple. Even living in a mansion which was located at the foothills of the Himalayas, he never loved his life as his life was not peaceful like the other kids of his age. He had neglected parents who used to beat him up and used to leave him and traveled to Europe without having any concern for their son.
He was always caged in the house and what he always wanted is “Freedom”. This is what every artist wants to be free from the clutches of society, to think freely and exploring themselves.
In a fire accident when he lost his parents, he became to be with himself away from the social life and created much great artwork in his own house. His artwork was so much amazing that people who were filming near the village wanted to expose his work but he denied it and wanted to live an isolated life with his art.
The last story of Ravi proves that an artist is always attached to his work and never wants to leave it. Whether they fail or flourish, art is the reason which keeps them alive.
Though unnamed official, Prema and Ravi failed, their failures in there art form kept them alive from this undeserving world where they are not accepted for their art and yet these artists choose a life living in uncertainty with a certainty of hope hidden in their hearts and that surely one day they will reach their destination.
Honestly, I am always tempted to define this novel as “The love story of Pride and Prejudice.”, but I’m afraid this does not do justice to it’s universality. Read further to know why.
The book was written by Jane Austen (1775-1817) and published in 1813. Austen is majorly known for her commentary upon the landed gentry towards the end of 18th century England in her novels. The prominent themes of her novel revolve around women and their dependence on marriage in pursuit of better life. The opening line “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”, establishes marriage motif of the novel. The story revolves around the character development of Elizabeth Bennet- the second daughter of Bennet family. We learn the repercussions of hasty judgements through Elizabeth in the mean course of novel.
The setting and language give proper English feel. The obligation of girls in general to marry in a wealthy family as described in the novel, regardless of love gives the taste of realism. Realism however comes with the twist of romance. Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingely who are wealthy and socially respectable figures, fall in love with girls from lower gentry and a series of events takes place. Although the novel was majorly predictable, it was a sort of catchy. Writing style can be one of the main reasons for the same. One must note Jane Austen is the first female writer to write in the genre of comedy; in addition to the wit, the writing becomes all the more interesting.
The words pride and prejudice however must not be made limited as the metaphors for the main characters Mr. Darcy and Miss Elizabeth because every character in the novel possess these traits to some degree.
My personal favorite is Mr. Bennet, the head of Bennet family, a middle aged landed gentleman. He was different from the rest of the family members; quiet, witty, sarcastic and broad minded. His taking Elizabeth’s side for not marrying someone she did not approve of made him stand out from rest of the people. He liked Elizabeth the most because of her different temperament.
“Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three-and-twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character.”
The whole novel is centered around family, prestige, vanity, society and wealth. Being more inclined towards the modern and post-modern novels these themes feel mundane but surprisingly this book proved to be relaxing; like watching K-drama!
There are many programming languages in use today, one of which is C. There are many offshoots of the C programming language, including Objective-C, C++, and C#. None of these are the same language. THE BEGINNING: The C programming language came out of Bell Labs in the early 1970s. According to the Bell Labs paper The Development of the C Language by Dennis Ritchie, “The C programming language was devised in the early 1970s as a system implementation language for the nascent Unix operating system. Derived from the typeless language BCPL, it evolved a type structure; created on a tiny machine as a tool to improve a meager programming environment.” Originally, Ken Thompson, a Bell Labs employee, desired to make a programming language for the new Unix platform. Thompson modified the BCPL system language and created B. However, not many utilities were ever written in B due to its slow nature and inability to take advantage of PDP-11 features in the operating system. This led to Ritchie improving on B, and thus creating C.
The development of C was to become the basis for Unix. According to the Bell Labs paper, “By early 1973, the essentials of modern C were complete. The language and compiler were strong enough to permit us to rewrite the Unix kernel for the PDP-11 in C during the summer of the year.” This now meant that C was becoming a strong language that could, and would be, implemented across many systems. By the middle of the 1970s, the C-based Unix was used in many projects within the Bell System as well as “a small group of research-oriented industrial, academic, and government organizations outside [Bell Labs]”. In 1978, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie published The C Programming Language, which would serve as the language reference until a formal standard was adopted. Five years later, the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) formed the committee, X3J11, to establish the formal standard of C. The C standard was ratified as ANSI X3.159-1989 “Programming Language C”. This was the first formal standard of C. Currently, we are on the fourth standard of C, known as C18 as it was published in June of 2018
Over time, C began to be used in personal computers for developing software applications and other purposes. The first change (even if only a little) came when the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) formed a committee in 1983 to standardize C. After a review of the language, they modified it a little so that it was also compatible with other programs that preceded C. So the new ANSI standard came into being in 1989, and is known as ANSI C or C89. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has also contributed to the standardization of C. Over time, C has evolved as it has added some significant features like memory management, functions, classes and libraries to its rich feature set. C is being used in some of the biggest and most prominent projects and products in the world. C has also influenced the development of numerous languages such as AMPL, AWK, csh, C++, C–, C#, Objective-C, Bit C, D, Go, Java, JavaScript, Julia, Limbo, LPC, Perl, PHP, Pike, Processing, Python, Rust, Seed7, Vala and Verilog. USES TODAY : According to Toptal, UNIX operating systems are written in C and most of Linux is also in C. Also databases such as Oracle Database, MySQL, MS SQL Server, and PostgresSQL are at least partially written in C. C is the basis of many system kernels. Other programming languages, like Python and Perl, use compilers or interpreters that are written in C. C has changed over the years and is still a common language to use in lower level programs, like kernels. But it is also used for many applications ranging from device drivers to other programming languages’ compilers or interpreters. The language also made way for C++, Objective-C, C#, and many more C-based languages that each have their own speciality.
There are many planetary systems like ours in the universe, with planets orbiting a host star. Our planetary system is named the “solar” system because our Sun is named Sol, after the Latin word for Sun, “solis,” and anything related to the Sun we call “solar.”
Our planetary system is located in an outer spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy.Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity — the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, dwarf planets such as Pluto, dozens of moons and millions of asteroids, comets and meteoroids. Beyond our own solar system, we have discovered thousands of planetary systems orbiting other stars in the Milky Way.
10 Need-to-Know Things About the Solar System
1>ONE OF BILLIONS
Our solar system is made up of a star, eight planets and countless smaller bodies such as dwarf planets, asteroids and comets.
2>MEET ME IN THE ORION ARM
Our solar system orbits the center of the Milky Way Galaxy at about 515,000 mph (828,000 kph). We’re in one of the galaxy’s four spiral arms.
3>A LONG WAY ROUND
It takes our solar system about 230 million years to complete one orbit around the galactic center.
4>SPIRALING THROUGH SPACE
There are three general kinds of galaxies: elliptical, spiral and irregular. The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy.
5>GOOD ATMOSPHERE(S)
Our solar system is a region of space. It has no atmosphere. But it contains many worlds—including Earth—with many kinds of atmospheres.
6>MANY MOONS
The planets of our solar system—and even some asteroids—hold more than 150 moons in their orbits.
7>RING WORLDS
The four giant planets—and at least one asteroid—have rings. None are as spectacular as Saturn’s gorgeous rings.
8>LEAVING THE CRADLE
More than 300 robotic spacecraft have explored destinations beyond Earth orbit, including 24 astronauts who orbited the moon.
9>LIFE AS WE KNOW IT
Our solar system is the only one known to support life. So far, we only know of life on Earth, but we’re looking for more everywhere we can.
10>FAR-RANGING ROBOTS
NASA’s Voyager 1 is the only spacecraft so far to leave our solar system. Four other spacecraft will eventually hit interstellar space.
Spacecraft are Headed into Interstellar Space:-
Five spacecraft have achieved enough velocity to eventually travel beyond the boundaries of our solar system. Two of them reached the unexplored space between the stars after several decades in space.
Voyager 1 went interstellar in 2012 and voyager 2 joined it in 2018. Both spacecraft are still in communication with Earth. Both spacecraft launched in 1977.
NASA’s new horizons spacecraft—currently exploring the an icy region beyond Neptune called the Kuiper Belt—eventually will leave our solar system.
Pioneer 10 and pioner 11 also will ultimately travel silently among the stars. The spacecraft used up their power supplies decades ago.
Unlike Western Ghats,Eastern Ghats is a discontinuous and irregular one.It is dissected at many places by the rivers,which drain into the Bay of Bengal.Its height ranges from 1,100 to 1,600 m.These hills separate the Kalrayan,Kollimalai and Pachamalai are the major hills of the Eastern Ghats of Tamil Nadu and are located in Northern districts of the state.
Javadhu Hills
Javadhu Hills are an extension of the Eastern Ghats spread across parts of Vellore and Tirunelveli districts and seprates these two districts.Many peaks with the height of 1,100-1,150metres are located in this range.Melapattu is its highest peak.The Vainu Bappu Observatory(VBO) Kavalur,which began operationa in 1967,is located on theses hills.Many parts of this range are covered with bluish grey granites.It is noted for its fruit bearing trees,medicinal herbs and Sandalwoods.Due to illegal logging, Sandalwood trees are disappeared now.
Kalvarayan Hills
The name ‘Kalvarayan’ comes from the word ‘Karalar’,the ancient name of the present tribes .It is another major range of hills in the Eastern Ghats of Tamil Nadu.This range ,along with the Pachamalai,Aralvaimalai,Javadhu and Servarayan hills,Seprates the river basins of cauvery and palar.The height of this hill range from 600 to 1,220 metres.These hills have two sections.The northern section is referred as the chinna Kalvarayan and the southern one the Periya Kalvarayan. The average height of Chinna Kalvarayan is 825 metres and the Periya Kalvarayan is 1,220 metres.
It is a mountain range located nera the Salem city the height ranging from 1,200 to 1,620 metres. The name of the range comes from a local deity , Servarayan.The highest peak in the Southern part of the Eastern Ghats is located in this range. The peak is Solaikaradu and its height is 1,620 metres.The hill Station Yercaud,which is known as poor man’s Ooty,is located on this range.Servarayan temple is it’s highest point(1623m).
Kolli Hills
It is a small mountain range located in Namakkal district.It covers an area of about 2,800 sq.km.It rises up to 1300 metres.This is a mountain range that runs almost parallel to the east coast of South India.Arpaleeswarar temple located on this range is an important pilgrim centre.It has the largest cover of evergreen or shola forest when compared to other parts of the Eastern Ghats.Several coffee plantations, fruits,flowers and silver-oak estates are found in this region
Pachaimalai
It is the lowest hill range,spreads over the districts of Perambalur, Tiruchirappalli and Salem.In Tamil Language,Pachai means green.The vegetation in this range is greener than the vegetative cover of the other hills in this region.Hence it is named as ‘pachai malai’.Jackfruit is a popular seasonal agricultural product of this hills.
My eyes are not willing to close. The clock needle seems fixed. No the time is not running. Oh my god, earth please start your ride. I want my tomorrow. Hello sleep take me. Yes… Still 8 hrs, oh come on please tomorrow come on. My heart says oh my boy I can’t leave you to take sleep,go go go a deep visit in your past.
Yes I remember, she says it happens in a day and that day is tomorrow. Fine I’ll paste my eyes and set time on alarm. Very good night to meet a welcoming tomorrow. Yes! Hurray the day has come, it’s today. Ufff, now I have to get up like a men. My god where’s my another socks, it’s ok to go without socks. Bye my house! You believe it’s today……
I have parked my bike under a orange flavoured tree and take a look on my watch. Suddenly a violin plays, my nose gets sense with a smell, awww a chill breeze, when I take my head up…. Yes she is, it’s her. My girl. Oh man what a kerala saree l, how can God sends angels down here. My mouth gets shuttered. Words affixed in my tongue. My girl starts, hello da nice to meet you. You’re looking great in this shirt. My mind voice be thanks to the man who tailored this pretty one.
My eyes never blinked off her. She sat near me and takes my hand. Hey, you’re my love and you’re my life, you’re my heart and you’re my beat in it. I want you wholeheartedly. Will you take me with you….? My heart stops suddenly and tears filled in my eyes. For the first time my mouth opens. Baby I don’t believe that gods can talk but right now I believe God can even come with us. You’re love of my life, I never promised in my life but today I’m giving you a word, I don’t know about your past but I assure you that your future will be lovely with me. There are about millions andmillions of people in the earth,thanks for choosing me. She slowly take an advantage and draw a sign on his cheeks through his lips.we both talked and laughed in a beautiful red sunset .
Sun secretly hears us baby !!!!
Tring tring!!!!! Alarm beeps. I just open my eyes and got shocked oh god that was a beautiful dream I ever gone through. Please make my day as ditto as yesterday . With full of confidence he dressed like her man and leaves his home to see her. Whatever it was, the day came and it was his ONE FINE DAY.
Pluto is one of the most mysterious and controversial celestial objects in the solar system. Pluto is a complex and mysterious world with mountains, valleys, plains, craters, and maybe glaciers. Discovered in 1930, Pluto was long considered our solar system’s ninth planet. But after the discovery of similar intriguing worlds deeper in the distant Kuiper Belt, icy Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet. Pluto is orbited by five known moons, the largest of which is Charon. Charon is about half the size of Pluto itself, making it the largest satellite relative to the planet it orbits in our solar system. Pluto and Charon are often referred to as a double planet. Pluto’s four other moons are named Kerberos, Styx, Nix and Hydra.
Some facts about Pluto
The name of Pluto was suggested by an 11 years old girl named Venetia Burney. When her grandfather told her the news that they have founded a new planet, then she said that Why not we can put its name Pluto under the name of the Roman Gods.
Pluto is very, very cold. It is much colder than Antarctica. It is so cold that Earth’s air would freeze into a kind of snow there. Pluto has less gravity than Earth. This means a person would weigh much less on Pluto than on Earth. It is so distant that the Sun’s light, which travels about 300,000 km per second, takes more than five hours to reach it. An observer standing on Pluto’s surface would see the Sun as an extremely bright star in the dark sky, providing Pluto on average 1/1,600 of the amount of sunlight that reaches Earth. Pluto’s surface temperature therefore is so cold that common gases such as nitrogen and carbon monoxide exist there as ices. Pluto is one third water, it is in the form of water ice which is more than 3 times as much water as in all the Earth’s oceans, the remaining two thirds are rock. Pluto’s surface is covered with ices, and has several mountain ranges, light and dark regions, and a scattering of craters.
Why Pluto is known as a dwarf planet
Pluto is a dwarf planet because it has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit. Pluto goes around the sun, it’sround enough, it’s got moons, and behaves like a planet, but the idea is that Pluto did not form the same way as the rest of the planets. Pluto’s orbit is both eccentric and inclined more than the rest of the planets by about 17 degrees. That’s suggests something is different about this object.
Comparison with the other planets of solar system
Compared with the planets, Pluto is also anomalous in its physical characteristics. Pluto has a radius less than half that of Mercury; it is only about two-thirds the size of Earth’s Moon. Next to the outer planets—the giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—it is strikingly tiny. When these characteristics are combined with what is known about its density and composition, Pluto appears to have more in common with the large icy moons of the outer planets than with any of the planets themselves. Its closest twin is Neptune’s moon Triton, which suggests a similar origin for these two bodies (see below Origin of Pluto and its moons).
The Indian men’s cricket team is one of the best teams in all formats among the other world class teams. People following men’s cricket are many. People know the names of every player playing for the nation. Many fans go craze on their favourite stars. There is also women’s cricket in India which was played from many years back. But people following women’s cricket are very few. The count is incomparable with that of men’s cricket. In men’s cricket, there are many idols like Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli. But there is no big name in women’s cricket that everyone knows. The reason is apparent. There is no proper plan and infrastructure for women’s cricket across the country in domestic State level and District level. There was no inspiration for girls to take up cricket. They didn’t get to know the life of a woman cricketer. They didn’t have any idea of how would the life be after playing for the nation; what are the benefits they get; and how to get into a State level team. No growth of women’s cricket was seen till 2010s.
This situation prevailed for some years until 2011. After that a name had gone familiar with people. That name is Mithali Raj. She is also called as the lady Sachin Tendulkar of India. She has a pretty long and successful career. She made her debut in 1999 and is still playing for the country with career spanning over 2 decades. At 16, Raj scored an unbeaten 114 on ODI debut and soon established herself as the lynchpin of India’s batting. The roots of her copybook stroke play lay in her precocious talent that blossomed under the tutelage of her former coach, the late Sampath Kumar, and a regimented upbringing in an army family. With a passion for Bharatanatyam, her nifty footwork found expression on the field, becoming as much a hallmark of her batting as have been grace and an unrivalled precision at plundering runs in the cover region. She captained the Indian team for the first time at a young age of 22 years. She holds the record of having 3rd longest test careers, playing for 19 years. She is the 2nd highest run scorer in history of women’s cricket in all three formats added. She scored 10266 runs in her career totally. She has an amazing average of 44.6 in tests, 51.26 in ODI’s and 37 in T20s.
After her, many girls took up cricket as their career and started representing India. BCCI also looked up to the growth of women’s cricket. They developed the infrastructure and conducted many domestic games which boosted the talents to work hard. Also created a craze for young girls towards cricket. In the growth of Indian women’s cricket, there is a notable contribution done by Mithali Raj. She was also awarded with Padma Shri and Arjuna Award for cricket. She deserves every honour that she received. Thank you Mithali Raj.
Mankind has served this world with things no one could have ever imagined. There is a reason why some people happened to make it to our history books, and we are very thankful they did. Have you ever wondered what would have happened if Edison didn’t invent a light bulb? We couldn’t make a rough guess of when or who would have made the light bulb if it was not Edison . Science is crazy and huge when it comes to research but it is super interesting at the same time.
Here are some beings who made the best inventions!
ELECTRICITY
Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of mater that has a property of electric charge. The presence of an electric charge, which can be either positive or negative, produces an electric field. Lightning is one of the most dramatic effects of electricity, and as we all know, it can kill us.
Franklin started exploring the phenomenon of electricity in 1746 when he saw some of lectures using static electricity for illustrations. Franklin was the first to label them as positive and negative respectively, and he was the first to discover the principle of conservation of charge. In 1748, he constructed a multiple plate capacitor, that he called an “electrical battery”. Franklin briefly investigated electrotheraphy . This work led to the field becoming widely known.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
ELECTRIC BULB
This invention changed the way we design buildings, increased the length of the average workday and jump-started new businesses. It also led to new energy breakthroughs — from power plants and electric transmission lines to home appliances and electric motors.
In 1835, the first constant electric light was demonstrated, and for the next 40 years, scientists around the world worked on the incandescent lamp, tinkering with the filament and the bulb’s atmosphere. Edison and his researchers focused on strengthening the filament. In 1879, Edison’s team kept on experimenting with the filament until settling on one made from bamboo that gave Edison’s bulb a life of 1200 hours, this filament became the standard for the Edison bulb for the next 10 years.
THOMAS EDISON
TELEPHONE
During 1876–1877 invention of telephone took place.
Alexander Graham Bell presented the telephone before a large audience for the first time at the World Exhibition in Philadelphia in June 1876. Bell’s patent was approved and officially registered on March 7. Three days later the famous call was made to Bell’s assistant Mr Watson, that said “come here. I want to see you.”, confirmed that the invention worked. The Bell Telephone Company began operating on July 11, 1877. In the same month, the first usable Bell telephone was sent to Europe.
ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL
COMPUTER
Computer once meant a person who did computations, but now the term almost universally refers to automated electronic machinery.
Charles Babbage, an English mathematician and inventor invented the very first digital computer. He first made Difference engine, then came computer and lastly, Analytic engine. During the 1830s Babbage developed plans for the the forerunner of the modern computer. In that device he saw the capability of performing any arithmetical operation on the basis of instructions from punched cards, a memory unit in which to store numbers, sequential control, and most of the other basic elements of the present-day computer.
CHARLES BABBAGE
RADIO
The first edition of radio was patented in 1896 by Guglielmo Marconi. Marconi was a pioneer of wireless telegraphy. He began experimenting with his inventions at the age of 20 after becoming aware of the work of Hertz in electromagnetic waves, also known as radio waves.
In July 1986 Marconi made the first demonstration of his invention, the radio transmitter and receiver. In December 1901, Marconi successfully transmitted the first wireless telegraphy signals across the Atlantic Ocean.
Deep Learning may be a subfield of machine learning involved with algorithms impressed by the structure and performance of the brain known as artificial neural networks.
If you’re simply beginning get in the sphere of deep learning otherwise you had some expertise with neural networks your time past, you’ll be confused. i do know i used to be confused at first so were several of my colleagues and friends United Nations agency learned and used neural networks within the Nineties and early 2000s.
The leaders and consultants within the field have concepts of what deep learning is and these specific and nuanced views shed a great deal of sunshine on what deep learning is all regarding.
In this post, you may discover precisely what deep learning is by hearing from a spread of consultants and leaders within the field.
Deep Learning is giant Neural Networks Andrew nanogram from Coursera and Chief person at Baidu analysis formally based Google Brain that eventually resulted within the productization of deep learning technologies across an oversized range of Google services.
He has spoken and written a great deal regarding what deep learning may be and is a smart place to begin.
In early talks on deep learning, St. Andrew delineated deep learning within the context of ancient artificial neural networks. within the 2013 speak titled “Deep Learning, Self-Taught Learning and unattended Feature Learning” he delineated the concept of deep learning as:
Using brain simulations, hope to:
– build learning algorithms far better and easier to use.
– build revolutionary advances in machine learning and AI.
I believe this can be our greatest shot at progress towards real AI
Deep Learning is class-conscious Feature Learning In addition to quantifiability, another usually cited advantage of deep learning models is their ability to perform automatic feature extraction from data, additionally known as feature learning.
Yoshua Bengio is another leader in deep learning though began with a robust interest within the automatic feature learning that enormous neural networks square measure capable of achieving.
He describes deep learning in terms of the algorithms ability to get and learn smart representations victimization feature learning. In his 2012 paper titled “Deep Learning of Representations for unattended and Transfer Learning” he commented:
Deep learning algorithms obtain to take advantage of the unknown structure within the input distribution so as to get smart representations, usually at multiple levels, with higher-level learned options outlined in terms of lower-level options
Why decision it “Deep Learning“? Why Not simply “Artificial Neural Networks“? Geoffrey Hinton may be a pioneer within the field of artificial neural networks and co-published the primary paper on the backpropagation algorithmic program for coaching multilayer perceptron networks.
He could have started the introduction of the phrasing “deep” to explain the event of huge artificial neural networks.
He co-authored a paper in 2006 titled “A quick Learning algorithmic program for Deep Belief Nets” during which they describe associate degree approach to coaching “deep” (as during a several bedded network) of restricted Boltzmann machines.
