Literary Fest 2020-21

 The members of the union 'Ekayana' conducted the arts fest for the academic year 2020-21. The literary event 'താമ്രപത്ര' was held on 29th April 2021. The arts fest was on 30th and 31st of April 2021.

All the teams made sure that they had at least one participant from their teams. The literary fest was for one day. the events ranged from poetry writing to collage competition. I had given my name only for 'English Short Story Writing Competition'. Creative writing was never my forte but due to lack of participants, I decided to give my name. 

The whole day was devoted for group dance practice. Group song and skit were the other group events that I had volunteered for. Other than the WhatsApp groups for these events there hasn't been any other progress. As far as the group dance is concerned, we are still deciding on the songs. Till now all seven of the dancers has never come together for even one practice. When one comes the other disappears,

The theme for short story competition was 'That Journey was Interrupted by a Disaster'. I couldn't settle on a concrete storyline but somehow managed to cook up a story within the given time. Varsha chechi from our group secured the first place. Out of the blue, at 2.10 pm Caran and me were pushed to participate in the collage competition which was to be held at 2.15 pm. We just had a bunch of 'Vanitha' magazines, newspapers and glue. We even had to borrow the chart paper from the other group. The topic was 'Deforestation'.  I did the sketch and Caran found the pieces for each color from the magazine. I took my time to stick the pieces while Caran was quick. Anyhow we managed to almost complete the collage in time. The other teams did a great job. But to our surprise we secured the second place.

The day turned out to be great and we ended with holi celebrations.

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...

Second Phase of Intense Teaching Practice

13th July 2022 The first day was nerve-wracking. It might be the fact that all of us haven't taught a large group of students. During the first internship, most of us had only 8-10 students in a class due to COVID and the idea of teaching a room filled with 50 students seemed to be a challenge. But after meeting the students, eveything seemed to go smooth and it calmed the nerves. The duties were assigned to us by our leader Sreevineetha. I had evening duty, along with Jis and Georgia. We had to make sure that every student gets picked up from school. 14th July 2022 Everyday the teachers have a prayer at the HM's office at 9.10 am. I had lunch duty along with Rubeena, Deepa and Jis.  Today I had to go for substitution at 9A, 10 A, 10 C and 9C. 9A which is an all- boys class with 56 students was difficult to manage. They settled down after I managed to divide them into groups and give them equation related activity. Rubeena and I had gone for substitution at 10 A (all-boys) and ...
