A Moment for Mother Nature

Everyone is busy looting our Mother Nature,

But not one has the time for her restoration.

Floods, droughts, hurricanes, wildfires.

We may call it the nature's wrath,

But it's her plea to stop the torture,

How can we turn a deaf ear to her cries?

We have been cradled in her arms,

But need a day to remind us of our duties towards her.

Plant a tree, protect the ecosystem,

Not because it's a hobby, it is our responsibility!

We all are busy thinking about ourselves and our future in this world. But the thing we keep forgetting is that we do not have a future without our nature. Spending a fraction of our time and energy for the restoration of our ecosystems can make this Earth a much better place to live in.

Day 31 of Online Classes

Today was the logo release and inauguration of the social science association. They have chosen the name 'ഐക്യ ' which means to become one. The name is a good reminder for these times where the world is divided in the name of religion, caste, race, resources etc. The chief guest was Arya Rajendran, the mayor of Trivandrum and is the youngest (22 years) to hold that position. Felicitations were expressed by singers Mrs. Veena Haridas and Mr. Ravishankar. The surprising fact was that there were almost 100 participants throughout the program. The effort taken by each and everyone of the class (as well as from other classes) could be seen.

Coastline Paradox

Ever wondered how the perimeter of irregular surfaces (like coastlines, borders of a fern leaf) are measured and compared? For example, let us consider a coastline, you can see that as we zoom in on the picture more irregularities pop up, there is no stage of zooming in where we'll finally reach a straight line. So, if I had to measure the coastline using a 15 cm scale, it'd obviously ignore the small irregularities which lie beyond the scope of a 15 cm scale. If I measure the coastline using a 5 cm scale, then it would accommodate comparatively more irregularities, as a result, the length of the same coastline will be more in this case. This means as the precision of the scale increases the length of the coastline increases. Comparison of coastlines between different regions becomes difficult due to this dilemma. This is known as the 'Coastline Paradox' or 'Richardson effect' and originally the problem was framed as, "How Long is the Coast of Britain?...

Theatre and Music

8th November 2021- 12 November 2021 Back to college after a week of model exams. This week was utilized to complete the remaining portions and to do the remaining activities. We the maths association was the only group left to do the presentation. Though we have been postponing it for a while, all 13 of us finally did it on 11th November. This week we had quick music and theatre workshops. In our music class, a few of us were randomly called on stage to either perform, the 'Saptha Swarangal' or any song of our choice. This was done to check our stage fright and spontaneity. All who were called did a fabulous job. Plus we did some vocal and breathing exercises which will help us in our future careers as busy teachers. In our theatre workshop, we did quite a few activities which helped us to get rid of our inhibitions that had built up during the online classes period. One of my favourite activities was where we walked around the room pretending to be a thing, person or animal w...
