Ready, Set Act!

As scheduled, we had our theatre presentation on Monday(15th Nov 2021) and also the official welcoming ceremony for our juniors. All the 6 groups put up a splendid job in preparing a script, getting the costumes, props etc required for their performance. Honestly, I thought the limited time would just affect the quality of the performances but none of the skits looked like it was prepared just hours before the performance.

The first group's topic was 'Chaayakada' and this was my favourite of all the performances. I think the audibility of the dialogues played a major role in my choice. Each and every person performed their roles very brilliantly.

My group, Sapphire (3rd group) performed on the topic,' Hope'. We divided our performance into two parts to depict the different forms of hope. We had a small dance at the beginning that we rustled up at the last moment. The first part dealt with a situation that provided hope to a young girl with suicidal thoughts The second part was more comedic and showed the hopes of a recently unemployed young man who's looking to get married. I think lack of time and inaudibility of dialogues played a huge role in the quality of our performance. But everyone stepped up their game to put up a show.


Yet again students of MTTC has proved that nothing can stop them from putting up a great show.

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...

Not a Typical Movie Review

 We were assigned with the task of watching a movie and understand its educational implications. I had  chosen the movie 'Dead Poets Society (1989)' directed by Peter Weir starring the late Robin Williams. I'd seen this movie a while ago but this time, I decided to watch it to understand what makes John Keating different from other teachers. This Academy award winning movie is set in a conservative boy's boarding school named Welton's Academy which is known for churning out disciplined and academically brilliant students. The story focuses on a group of seventeen year old boys and their English teacher John Keating (Robin Williams). John Keating is a nonconformist and lives by the phrase 'Carpe Diem' which means 'seize the day'. He encourages his students to get rid of their fears, find their voices and live their lives to the fullest through poetry. Their newfound interest in poetry led them to create a secret club named Dead Poets Society. One of t...

The Story of Probability

 Why was the concept of probability invented? This is the question we are going to answer through this post. Probability was discovered to answer a gambling problem. The original problem is a bit complicated but the simplified version goes like this.  Suppose two persons, A and B are playing a game of coin toss where the person who gets their toss thrice first wins a pot of gold. If the score is 2-1 and the game has to be stopped due to some unforeseeable reasons then how would the pot of gold be divided?  By logic, since A is leading with 2 points and B only has 1 point, the pot can be divided in the ratio of 2:1 . This seems like a good argument but this fails when the score is 0-1. In this case, it seems unfair to give the pot of gold to B based on the previous argument when A may have a chance to win in the upcoming tosses. But if one were to calculate the probability of winning the game of the two players, then it would give us a foolproof explanation as to how...
