28th February National Science day

Some people remember February for other days. The 28th February National Science day Do you know why we celebrate National Science day? In 1921 iconic Indian physicist CV Raman was on board a ship and on his way home from London when a question struck him,  why is the sea really blue? He wasn't convinced with the notion that the sea was blue because of the colour of the sky, so in March 1928 he published a theory that came to be known as Raman scattering or Raman effect. Raman scattering refers to the change in the wavelength of light that occurs when a light beam is deflected by molecules and this is called as Raman effect and hence every year, India celebrates National Science Day  to remember the discovery of the Raman Effect , a discovery that also earned him the Nobel Prize in 1930 in the field of Physics. A breif introduction: Sir Chandrasekhar venkataraman India's second Nobel laureate and the first one to get in the field of science.He convinced Homi Bhabha...

Hijab Controversy from various perspectives

 Hello, friends! Nowadays, things have deteriorated so much that in some areas of the country students are now fighting in the name of religion. These students are now worried about who's wearing a hijab, and who's wearing orange. The division in the country has spread so deep, the news claims that in several schools and colleges in Karnataka hijab has been banned, due to which, many girls are not allowed to enter into colleges they're not allowed to study. They protested against it, and in its response, some people started a counter-protest by wearing a saffron shawl. In some places, these protests turned into slogans in some places, the girls were harassed and in some places, we even saw instances of stone-pelting. Things have gotten so out of control that the Chief Minister of Karnataka had to decide close the schools and colleges for 3 days . Everything that happened was truly embarrassing and to understand it better, we need to go to the roots of the problem. Let's...

Privatization Debate-- Why Government is Privatizing?

 In India, everyone wants to talk about privatisation. It is a hot topic. Everyone has their views on it. Some people say that Government is selling the country. While some say that with privatisation the efficiency will increase. Who is right? Who is wrong? Can we understand both perspectives? Here I will try to do that in this blog. We will understand why the government is behind privatisation? How was the government functioning for so long? And how is the future looking ahead? Two perspectives are clear, In layman's language, we can understand left and right perspectives. The left perspective (socialism) says that the economy should be pro-poor. All policies should be in the poor's favour. The government's money should be distributed to the poor. Everyone should have right over the country's treasure. Slowly this road goes to communalism. In this perspective, it is believed that everything will be state-owned. The government will run everything and it should have ent...

How to Start Investing? (For Beginners)

 Right, so let's say you want to get started with this investing thing. You might have a bit of money saved. It's probably not enough for a house, but you reckon I should probably invest this in something. Maybe you've heard on the news about Tesla or Netflix or Amazon and how, if you'd invested 10 years ago in Tesla then you'd be a millionaire by now or things like that. But if you're new to the game, this whole investment thing can seem like a really complicated black box. Like, how do you even buy a stock? What even is a stock? Do you just go on tesla.com and buy some Tesla, like, how does it work?  And if you try and look into this, you get all these acronyms being thrown around like Roth IRAs and 401Ks in America or like ISAs or LISAs in the UK. And on top of that, there is the anxiety that we all have that I know investing is risky and I don't want to lose all that my money. So in light of all of that, this is the ultimate guide on how to get started w...
