അവനിജ

 Today marked the beginning of our arts fest  'അവനിജ'. The chief guests were renowned Malayalam poet Murugan Kattakada and cine artist Jeevan Gopal. The first day mainly had all the solo items like Bharatanatyam, light music etc. Aparna (2nd year) from our group helped us secure the first prize in all the solo dance categories.



Somehow we have choreographed our songs for the group dance but we are yet to finalize on the last song to end the dance with a bang. The costumes have been picked and the tops fit us perfectly. For the skit, Sreelekshmi had given many suggestions from YouTube and we selected one and has decided the parts for each person. Instead of me, Absy from MEd joined for group song.

Aby and Albin brother from our group participated in items where there were no participants. Both of them took part in mimicry and fancy dress respectively. It was very brave of them to go on stage without any preparation and take one for the team. Aby got second place for mimicry.

I could see only few programs, since I were busy practicing and making up participants from our group.

Prime Numbers in Nature

 Prime numbers are one of the easiest concepts to understand and learn in Maths. But some of the complex problems in Maths belong to this branch. Never would have imagined an application of prime numbers in nature. Thanks to the book 'Weird Maths: At The Edge of Infinity and Beyond' which introduced me to this along with other weird applications of Maths. There's a particular species type of cicadas found in the US called the Magicicada or the 'periodical cicadas' who stay in their larva for 13 or 17 years. Imagine staying inside for over a decade with no connection to the outside world and coming out in the year 2021. People wearing masks walking all around you, smartphones, oh, the shock!🤯 It is the primality of these numbers which interest the mathematicians. The reasons are quite interesting. As the lifecycle of the prey changes, the population cycle (pattern in the population for a period of time) of their predators also vary due to the change in the availabil...

A New Phase

 This week marked the beginning of teaching practice. St Mary's, Pattom is the school assigned for me. It's going to be a great opportunity and experience for all of us.The internship was supposed to start on 5th January but it was delayed by a day due to an unexpected holiday.  6th Jan 2022, It was the first day of our internship and to be honest I was excited and nervous at the same time. I had the first hour at 9J1 which was utilised to show a video on 'Social Media and its Effects'. The video was shot and shown as a part of a government initiative to create awareness of the positive and negative effects of social media. I couldn't take a class, but I got to be the tech support for the teachers. This helped me get rid of that unnecessary stress. But I had another period at 9I1 and I used this period to get to know the students, their previous knowledge etc. and also brushed some of the previously taught topics. 7th Jan 2022, Today the second batch attended school...

Day 30 of Online Classes

 Today the day began with Joju sir's class and the physical science association continued with their seminar. We were introduced to the software 'Hot Potatoes', which can be used to make online quizzes. If I had known this earlier I would have used it for 'Mathletics'. The topic was handled by Ancy and Gayathri of Physical science association and they did a great job. Later we had Ancy ma'am's class where we discussed about social change. Ma'am made us switch on our cameras to take a group photo. It felt good too see many faces after a long time.
