Quantum mechanics, with its perplexing and complex nature, easily leads to misconceptions and misunderstandings. Quantum mechanics isn't inaccurate or bogus; it is just a little... unintuitive. We don't observe quantum phenomena in our daily life, therefore when someone first talks about superposition or entanglement, they might seem out of their mind. Before diving into this article, I strongly…

As a fresher, it can be puzzling to decide where to start the computer science journey. With input from friends and classmates, I've created a roadmap. It will be helpful for students who learned nothing but MS Paint (and Tux paint if your school was poor). Before you start reading this article I would like to assure you that 'WhiteHat Jr vala Chintu' is not real and it will not hurt you. Web-Dev…

I am the kind of person who, you can lock up in a room full of books, and as long as you keep providing me food I would not want to come out (maybe I am giving ideas to kidnappers). Anyway, for a broke student like me, it’s hard to get my hands on the kind of books that I want. But recently I was presented with the opportunity to visit BookMafia’s book fair held between the 6th and 9th of April…

No amount of upturned neck would ever allow you to see those tree tops. This vegetation which declared a soiled dead-end to the pavement I stood on, would dwarf even the colossal cloud-covered mountains. Under the entwined cluster of vines and branches, there lay a seductive darkness, horrifying and mysterious as it was, it dissuaded the feeble while welcoming the audacious. The sweet music of…

In 1965, Intel’s co-founder and CEO Gordon Moore made an interesting observation. He noticed that the number of components of an Integrated Circuit doubled roughly every two years. This observation later came to be known as Moore's Law. Our computational power has been increasing substantially, from the days of Abacus and Adding Machines to computers that used vacuum tubes. In 1947, Walter…

Gowon looked out of the dew-covered class window, towards the barren winter landscape. Hail hitting the metal shed made a loud noise, and tarpaulin sheets tied to keep the rain out rattled violently. Thunder would occasionally illuminate the cozy insides, accompanied by a loud crack. Among these loud noises, upon listening closely, the ticking of a mechanical pendulum clock could be heard. This…

I was a very conserved and introverted student in school, I have never performed on stage or participated in any activity that involves even a hint of public speaking. But recently I got an opportunity to give a presentation cum lecture on the topic of ‘Star Gazing’, in my college. I received a very good response from everyone, so I assume that the lecture was a success. I learned a lot of things…
