Blogging after a long time!!

Well, I have now officially Graduated to an ELECTRICAL ENGINEER! (with a B.Tech in Electrical & Electronics Engineering). Four years of hard work, fun and experiences has finally reached its crescendo!

In the meanwhile, I gained an experience of a new type by doing a part time job as a faculty in a well known training institute, where I taught Data Structures!

Now I feel that I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep!

Will be back soon.. Stay tuned!

Sustainable energy & transport ... the urgent need of the hour!

  What's the buzz all about? There is a lot of buzz around the term "sustainability" these days. Every other company now talks about how they have prioritized ESG goals along with a focus on business growth.  One of the main reasons for a new-found interest in sustainability/ decarbonization/ energy efficiency is the accelerated pace of global warming, which has made the effects of climate change considerably conspicuous, with multitude of anomalies in weather patterns across the globe.  According to NASA's Global Climate Change portal: Earth’s global average surface temperature in 2020 statistically tied with 2016 as the hottest year on record, continuing a long-term warming trend due to human activities. The exhibit - A shows the change in global surface temperature compared to long term average. Exhibit - A : Change in global surface temperature compared to the long term average (from 1951 to 1980) Exhibit - B: Global average surface temperature in 2022, compared t...

Indian Research Scenario- Much needs to be done!

Congratulations to ISRO , for having successfully launched the Italian "AGILE" satellite. I hope that our government funds this Organization generously for it to enable Fundamental Space Research using X-Ray, Gamma Ray observatories etc. India needs such programmes now. Talking of research, it is very disheartening to see that our country hardly contributes to cutting edge research . Apart from a handful of Institutions such as the IISc , TIFR etc., very few organizations actually carry out serious research. Not even the IIT s contribute to quality research as much they are expected to do so. To add to this, bright minds and talented professionals are siphoned off by the IT companies, which no doubt offer high pay packages but in no way help in Nation-Building, which is of primary importance to India now.

Pilgrimage par excellence

I have been to "the heaven on Earth" quite a few times but this time, I had climbed all the way from Tirupati to Tirumala... A total of 3550+ steps. It was a tremendously satisfying experience. I reached Tirupati at around 3am and after obtaining the Free Sudarshan ticket, embarked on the journey to the God's abode- Tirumala. The initial steps were quite difficult to negotiate as the inclination is very high.. It is quite tiresome... Anyways, innumerable shops on the way, serve chilled cool drinks/water and snacks, which make the journey a tad bit simpler. It took us 4.5 hours to reach the summit. En route, I had an exquisite view of Deers in their natural habitat... also spotted a peacock, in his full splendour. The Tirumala hills are full of awe inspiring scenic views, breathtaking landscapes... in short a treat for an avid traveller... and to the devout, the strains of "Suprabhatam" and other mantras in the air does the magic. It seems as though God really do...
