Amidst the deeply rooted Corona crisis, this world has reached a state where a comeback looks far more uncertain. Still, we must not lose our hope in science and must have an infinite faith for the worst to not happen. Our brothers and sisters are working all round the clock to slow down and stop the monster from expanding. They are our heroes, and what they have done for others while exposing themselves to the risk of death can be never forgotten. Yet everyone must remember that the war is still going on. The right decisions and actions they make or take will protect the whole world.  Now, what can I do? I hope they possess infinite strength, determination, and persistence in these tough times, but the question was what else can I do than moral condolences? Nothing, just wait. Hello all, I am back here with suggestions for civic bodies and have suggested some actions for them to manage the Corona crisis. My advice is a bit inclined to the Indian context but I have tried my be...

Hi, I am not a business coach or advisor. I am just a first-year CS undergraduate and I just wanted to share my thoughts and suggestions for small scale jobs and businesses affected by COVID-19. My post is targeted towards people whose jobs have come to a halt during this lockdown period. It is the perfect time for you to relax and enjoy with your family. But of course, you cannot neglect your job completely and with the upcoming global recession where the markets are expected to slow down, you just cannot sit back and watch yourself drowning. To make you financially secure and help you generate a bit of revenue even during these hard times here are some business ideas crafted for you: 1)Investing in long term mutual funds or buying some stocks may be beneficial for you. But keep in mind you must properly choose a good plan with promising returns and must decide how much you want to invest. You must keep in mind that you are enough equipped for the worst possible long run, otherwise...

Hi, I am a freshman CS undergraduate and study in IIT Bombay. To those who don't know about our academic calendar, I am just giving a brief summary which should more or less match with most of the running universities. "We have our annual academic calendar divided into two semesters and in each semester we have to earn a certain number of credits. Credits are awarded upon clearing a course may it be a compulsory course or an optional course. Clearing the course is generally based on four examinations, two of them being Midsem and Endsem examinations (the bigger ones) and the other two are quizzes one before and the other after the midsems. There may be some course projects also but it is not mandatory. It solely depends on the professors how they design the course but what I have described is more or less followed in most of the courses."  So I wanted to handout some suggestions that I feel will reinstall the enthusiasm and build a better learning environment. ...

SCHEDULING THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA Believe me, this small thing can help you buy a lot of time, health and happiness. My post is targeted towards Millenials. I myself am a millennial and I know the urge you have to open your phones once in a while to check someone’s status updates or to share a meme with your friend, or to see what others are doing but dude pause for a minute. Have you ever kept a check on how much time in a day you use your so-called Apps? Obviously much more than you would like to. It might be shocking to hear but on average a teen spends around 3 hours only on social media. This excludes all other mobile applications that you use throughout the day. So don’t even bother about your total on-screen time, I am speaking about   social media  only . That counts to around 1.5 months of your year spent on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, etc. You follow your urges so much knowingly or unknowingly that you end up complaining about not having time for a ...

Not all of us are good at drawing. So when it comes to design your logo, doodle or even a simple cover for your own webpage or project you spend endless searches to find the perfect drawing. Giving shape to exactly the thing that is present in your mind is no more stressful work. Thanks to AutoDraw , a site by google which is powered by machine learning and helps you draw your perfect content. It's pretty fun to use, just pick up your color and start drawing the thing that you need. As you do the site will guess what you are drawing and will provide perfect clipart for the thing which you are drawing. It is more or less based on the same idea as Quick! Draw but this is more of a utility site to build your perfect clipart. You can also fill colors, add texts, add shapes, draw manually in your clipart. Moreover, you can also download the image you created in png format for your different uses. This is more likely a type of ambitious experiment that provides gazillions of d...

Have you ever wondered what would be one of the coolest experiments that one could perform with doodles? Yeah! doodles. If you are running out of ideas then here is something you will like. With the advancement of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, developers are keen on changing the world through it. Quick, Draw! is an online game created with the help of Google in which the player draws a given object or an idea and the drawings are guessed with the help of Artificial Intelligence. It is an extremely ambitious project to create a huge database for developers across the world. In the game spanning over a few minutes,the player is asked to draw a doodle and he/she has to draw it in twenty seconds. If within that time-limit the AI guesses the player's drawing correctly then the set is considered successful. Six doodles are asked to draw in one set of the game. As per the creators, "These doodles are a unique data set that can help developers trai...

My first half of 2019 was a huge contrast to my second half. I passed my Intermediate Examinations this year and moved into college in the latter half of the year. Briefly speaking the first of my year was spent preparing for an exam to get into my second half part of the year. Introducing myself, I am currently a first-year student pursuing a B.Tech degree in Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Bombay. I am quite excited to write this answer because I am still amazed at how my life has changed over the year. I cannot simply compare and say which part of the year was better, but herein I put a battle between the first half of the year me and the latter half of the year me. Enjoy! 1st Guy-     I am a sort of early morning guy. I sleep for 7 hours regularly. 2nd Guy -   I am a late-night beast. I find it weird to sleep before 2 AM. I have the weirdest sleep schedules. I sleep when I feel it gets boring. Time, there is nothing of that sort, I can sleep an...
