India is a huge country. But it is not apparent to many of its populace. Mercator projection is to blame when we glance at the maps, but other omissions also abound.

There are five (basic, for more precise uses, there are many more) sense organs and they all collect data. Their organization, analysis and presentation, when combined is called statistics. One of the most important successes of statistics lies in predicting the outcomes of random events, events which have outcomes that are not predetermined. This prediction, in the applied world, is often the sculpting block which is chiseled away into a fine statue with more real-world data. One of such widely used sculpting block is the ‘particular distribution’, also called the Bell or Gaussian ...

2020, for the human race, is not the year to bookmark and look back with nostalgia in the future. The pandemic is still hitting us hard, and there are still two months to go. Writing a guide about consumer technology, more specifically the traditional computers and their miniaturized versions, however, perhaps didn't have a better time. On the one hand, it is not 2000s anymore that everyone needs a helping hand to use and choose computing devices. On the other hand, the situation is such that many workers are forced to work from home, and sometimes required to buy their own devices. The ...

The timeless essence of the Gita is rendering its services to philosophies worldwide since its popularization a few centuries back.

Relatively free of astrological superstitions, compared to “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu, the Gita is a also guide for the battlefield, and not only the practical kind. Relatively peaceful after...

The common discourses about predicting the future chiefly revolve around the day, such as in predicting the weather (or, for more lucrative career opportunities, day-trading) or the week, as in the Sunday edition of many dailies (mostly in the editorials, sometimes in the astrology column!). Rarely we consider it for months or years, which are cases we consider while buying large value properties or consumer goods, or for relationships of great import.

The one quality that separates man from the beasts is the superpower of curiosity. Although many animals, chiefly mammals, have shown some indications of a curiosity drive, it is much smaller in scope and is limited to the immediate goals and is almost never abstract.

While it was shared by many curious humans, including university professors, the leap in curiosity of non-humans was too good to be true. And subsequent investigations proved it to be false indeed. In such a situation, it is no ...

The modern world is increasingly becoming an urban world. Although lush with ever-increasing avenues of creative expression, the urban world is getting increasingly homogenized. It is very hard, for example, to guess which country a supermarket is from. This brings monotony and people want freedom in the old lap of nature, as the trends in newly industrialized countries show. After all, a luxury house or a yatch can cost millions of dollars, but we can venture a guess that it is absolutely incomparable to the air, water and skies the nature has to offer. Here we take a look in this regard ...
