On the uncertainty of explanations: Religion vs Science
Reading time: 1 min 24 sec Once my friend, who is a believer of a set of religious rules, said “I don’t believe in science because it says something now and it says something else later. It’s so uncertain.” I replied “Hold on a second. So you believe in statements which never change? Good… And do you even bother to think … Continue reading On the uncertainty of explanations: Religion vs Science
Finding Balance: Navigating the Intersection of Creativity and Productivity
Reading time 4 min 22 sec Do you ever struggle with the idea of being productive versus being creative? It’s a common conflict that many of us face.

Actions: Good and Bad
Reading time: 12 sec What are good actions? What are bad actions? Simple. Good actions are those which you do as a result of any selfless thoughts. Bad actions are those that come from your ego. In fact, the action itself is neutral, neither good nor bad. It is our perspective that makes an action good or bad. Continue reading Actions: Good and Bad

cbsPlot: A Matlab standalone application.
CBSPLOT: A Matlab GUI Standalone Application for Windows to Visualize and Analyze Coherent Back Scattering (CBS) data. This application was developed accidentally. It all just happened because of a request from one of my senior research students. He needed to fit a data curve for his Coherent Backscattering experiment. I wrote a few line code in Matlab which essentially worked well for him, but then … Continue reading cbsPlot: A Matlab standalone application.
An evolutionary disadvantage: Few thoughts
Reading time: 2 min 38 sec
A group of scientists conducted an experiment on fishes to study how physical appearance (colouration) influence their evolution. Briefly speaking, they put the same number of males and females in two aquariums A and B (say, 500 females and 500 males in each container. Number doesn’t matter much). The container A has all coloured fishes, and container B has 500 coloured and 500 uncoloured (Have you ever seen guppy with no colour?) fishes. Then they allowed them for reproduction and continuously evaluated the number of coloured and uncoloured fingerlings (Fish offsprings) for several generations. What they found was this: Container A sustained the population almost the same, and the population in Container B got extinct. Continue reading “An evolutionary disadvantage: Few thoughts”

Why These Ridiculous Academic Examinations ?
Reading time: 40 sec
Whenever there is a situation where a person has no fear of making mistakes, then he will do his best. In an examination/viva hall generally, people will have a fear of making mistakes due to obvious reasons (They may get low grades for their poor performance. And society demotivates people with low grades). So why these teachers/professors are expecting students to do their best in such situations? In other words, since students can’t express their full potential in examinations, why do we even need such systems?
