October 18 2015: Let's take you to the PVR grounds, Shamshabad, Hyderabad. It was mid day and sun is head high scorching heat. but one particular group of people seem to be loosing their cool more than anyone else there. It was a HCA(Hyderabad Cricket Association) division league match and team members of Satya Cricket club were already dispirited and dissuaded with their performance as their dreams to end their losing streak seemed impossible. They were playing against CK Blues and were quickly losing wickets in the first innings itself and the score board didn't look good. But there was one guy who's still \nwaiting for his turn and wanted to keep the dreams alive. wickets went down and the fifteen year old boy entered on to the crease. In what must be one of the greatest comebacks according to his coach the boy went on to score an unbeaten 108 in his 25 over innings with just two more wickets in hand. All the team members were delighted with his innings and felt uplifted. They bowled out the opponents for a very less score and won the match by a very large margin.\n\"That was my most memorable and the best nostalgic moment for and I could never forget it as it was first of its kind in entire life\", says Abhishek Anumalla 18 year old, Computer Science engineering student and a Cricket enthusiast and a great dancer from CMRCET,Hyd.<\/p>\n
Abhishek recently received many accolades for his innings he played against the senior team in an exhibition match organised by the physical department of CMRCET. He unanimously won the match for the juniors team and showcased his amazing talent. we decided to nominate him for \"the student of the week\"and approached him for an interview.<\/p>\n
The team: Hello Abhishek! Congrats dude\n that was a great performance!\nAbhi: Hello! Thank you very much guys! that\n means a lot to me.\nTeam : Give us a brief intro about yourself \n Abhishek.\nAbhi: Well my name is Abhishek Anumalla\n Studying Computer Science(II year)\n in CMRCET.I stay in Malkajgiri,a bit\n far from college.\nTeam: about parents?<\/p>\n
Abhi: My father Dr.Balakrishnan works as\n the director of UGC Academic staff\n in Osmania University. He's my real\n hero and stays that way forever .<\/p>\n
My Goddess, Dr.Vanaja ,my mother \n works as a librarian at Kasturba \n Gandhi college for women.<\/p>\n
Team: Nice! you said your dad to be your\n hero. Tells us why?\nAbhi: Everything would be less to describe\n him. All the sacrifices he made for\n me, he forgoes his sleep for my\n practice countless times and still\n manages all the work at home and\n office in the best way possible.\n He's also the president of Consumer\n Welfare Association that has great\n recognition over the state.\n I could go on all the day about him,\n if you let me.<\/p>\n","id":"1503333453177","type":"txt"},{"data":"

Team: Great! Tell us about your hobbies,\n what you generally do when you're\n free apart from Cricket?\nAbhi: Well, my hobbies include dancing to\n dubstep music, playing football and\n listening to music. My body starts\n moving by itself when I hear music.\n I dance my heart out when I'm sad,\n happy or angry. I did it like an hour\n ago and recorded it, I'll show you\n guys if you are interested :-P<\/p>\n
Team: Awesome! abhi tell us about the\n biggest achievement in your life\n you feel very proud of.<\/p>\n
Abhi: My greatest achievement till date\n had to be when my name appeared\n for the Under-19 probables in the \n HCA in 2015.\nTeam: wow! that's great! have you\n played?\nAbhi: Unfortunately no! it's complicated.\n My coach didn't notify me about my\n selection. it hit me so hard :-(\nTeam: why's that?<\/p>\n
Abhi: I don't know. I didn't bother to ask.\n was very sad and disheartened. I\n made my friends to ask him for\n which he said\" Abhishek got select\n -ed and I notified him about it but\n he didn't show up at the HCA. It\n was so hard for me to digest it. it\n took me a while to come over it and\n resume my play.\n Now this year I'll be playing one day\n leagues again so I'm all pumped.<\/p>\n
Team: Great abhi! we can't miss a player\n like you and would feel great to\n watch you play!<\/p>\n
Abhi: haha! thank you!<\/p>\n
Team: tell us about your goals and what\n you dream of?<\/p>\n
Abhi: hah! My ultimate dream is to be a\n billionaire.I will work with every\n -thing I got to reach there.I also\n have thoughts like becoming a\n football manager of one the most\n Popular clubs in the world, to be\n a renowned ethical hacker . The\n greatest of all , owning a software\n company :-P<\/p>\n
Team: wow! such diverse aspirations you\n have there 😁<\/p>\n
Abhi: well I am free to dream. isn't it?<\/p>\n
Team: How did you got into engineering?\n coz you are doing well in cricket\n right?<\/p>\n
Abhi: I ask the same question to myself\n as to why everyday when I go to\n sleep. But I had to choose between\n the both and I happened to got here.\n But I don't regret that decision yet,\n as I experience a great environment\n here with different people. I still got\n two more years to prove myself and\n I'm sure I would do great with my\n cricketing career.<\/p>\n
Team: about your siblings?<\/p>\n
Abhi: oh yeah! I can't forget about her. \n Apoorva ,my elder sister also\n graduated from CMRCET from ECE\n branch.she got placed in Capgemini\n and is waiting for the call letter from\n company. She's like my support\n system always there for me when I\n feel low and cheers me up. I feel\n great to have such a sister.<\/p>\n
Team: Great! Any particular reason for\n choosing computer science? what\n subject do you like the most?<\/p>\n
Abhi: I loved coding dude! I also learnt\n something about hacking before I\n got into the college. But now I feel\n like losing interest in it after I got\n here :-*\n I love math. I used to be afraid of \n it but thanks to my mom I'm no \n more.i started solving problems\n while listening to music and it\n slowly turned into a habit. I no more\n feel scared and try my best to work\n out them. All credit to mom.<\/p>\n","id":"1503333453181","type":"txt"},{"data":"599aef4c417be","id":"1503333453190","type":"img"},{"data":"

Team: How do you enjoy your time in\n your college?<\/p>\n
Abhi:As I already told you, I feel so\n homely when I walk into the class.\n Everyone single one is my buddy.\n What more would you need when\n the entire class is your friend. I\n thought engineering to be bunking\n classes, having fun out there and\n enjoying a lot, But I realises that I\n enjoy more when I genuinely try to\n be perfect and can still have fun.\n Our class is very unlike the others\n coz we don't have groups in our\n class which I observe in every other\n class. United we stand. I like that\n very much. No gang kind of things.<\/p>\n
Team: Your take on CMR? is it helping\n you in realising your goals? is it\n limiting you in any kind?<\/p>\n
Abhi:I feel a person can shape his career\n here and it's a great place to be, but\n yeah it's sad that it restricts me to\n go to private coaching and practice\n there. I don't like the concept of \n maths for attendance. is the one\n thing I want to change very badly.\n I feel like there's a need for more\n encouragement of sports here.I\n am grateful to our Physical director.\n He's a great personality.\n It's so stressful to stay back after\n classes in college to play and reach\n home thereafter. I hope selections\n were done in a more better way coz\n students nearer to college have an\n advantage. Skull has to be given\n more importance.<\/p>\n
Team: Okay! So have you ragged anyone\n now that you are a senior?<\/p>\n
Abhi: haha! Noo ragging in any form is\n but encouraged in our college. They\n are very strict about it and you\n know why. Ragging is all very silly\n like now and that's good too.\n I would like to scare them but I\n couldn't differentiate juniors from\n seniors. :-P\n \nTeam: Super! Any ideals our Philosophies\n you would like to share and guide\n people who land in same situations\n as you?<\/p>\n
Abhi: Life's all about pushing yourself to\n the point that's beyond where you\n feel like giving up no matter what\n you gave. Always say you are the\n \"Greatest\".<\/p>\n
Team: Very Inspiring indeed! Thanks\n for sharing everything you could\n and spending your time. we wish\n you achieve what you desire for .\n All the best for your future.<\/p>\n
Abhi: Thank you so much and same to\n you. It was nice speaking to you\n guys.<\/p>\n
P.S. :-\nCongrats again Abhishek.\nThis is the story of Abhishek Anumalla\n who thrives to work on his passion. Let's\nwish him the best.\nThank you for reading ;-)<\/p>\n

If you've been paying attention to my writings for the last couple of weeks, I've been dropping hints that I am not who I actually claim to be. Shireen is not my real name, although I am from BITS Hyderabad, I adopted this pseudonym to keep my identity a secret for no apparent reason except for the fact that I simply didn't want to be identified, I like keeping my privacy. <\/p>
Speaking of privacy, we've had excellent articles on this very platform highlighting the need for it especially for us students, and why we must fight for it. However, for introverts such as yours truly, there are certain times in the year where your privacy goes for a toss no matter how much you want to keep it: festivals. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1503345282406","data":"599b428344c15"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1503345283996","data":"
Personally, I do not mind. Because this is the only time in the year I acknowledge the existence of relatives. As much as I hate their prying eyes and questions, especially the ones which ask me when I'm getting married, I do have cousins who are super cool and around whom I can be myself again. This is the only reason I subject myself to the torture of the public eye, so I can hang out with the cousins that I choose to like. <\/p>
That being said, it is quite amazing how festivals in India bring together our families like no other time. Of course, the west has their Thanksgivings and Christmas parties, but nothing brings a family together like Indian festivals do. With all the privacy invading questions aside, it is absolutely great to catch up with your cousins over delicious sweets that you will regret eating later, but eat anyway because which sane person says no to ladoos and Kaju Barfi? <\/p>
With Ganesh Chaturthi coming up in a couple of days, it is important to remember that this is what makes India what it is, our close knit communities have problems of their own, but when we come together for something positive, it is a beautiful sight to see. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1503346260559","data":"599b42c716372"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1503346263478","data":"
Diwali, another festival that most of us love, has long since lost it's appeal for me because of all the pollution it causes, but I still enjoy hanging out with my cousins and discussing various issues, the hottest on the day being all the pollution caused. While our parents do not understand our position on the festival, all us cousins have decided to not be a part of festivities, choosing instead to work on social issues. We've taken it upon ourselves to clean the streets next morning of all the paper and collect it for the hardworking municipal workers who come to usually sweep and pick it up, and we make it a point to give them sweets for all their hardwork. <\/p>
Eid holds a special place in my heart because it teaches tolerance to people around me. In all the years that I've lived, I've never known a person to dislike Muslims after they had a taste of our delicious Sheer Kurma, but I'll talk about Eid on a later date. <\/p>
If anything, festivals are a representative of what we can achieve if we come together as people who love and respect one another. We must treat our fellow citizens as an extended family and spread the love as much as we can, only then can this once great country become great once again. <\/p>"}]

The central government recently announced that the government will provide Rs 70,000 as monthly fellowship to those researchers doing their PhDs in IITs or IISc. This has been done as a move to enable meritorious researchers, keen to further their research but forced to opt for corporate jobs for higher pay, to pursue their goal, as Union higher education secretary Kewal Kumar Sharma said at IIT Kharagpur on Friday. <\/p>
\u201cAs part of the research fellowship scheme of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we wish the meritorious students who are being forced to leave the country for purely financial reasons stay within the country. We will provide 2,000 such monthly fellowships across the IIT system and IISc Bengaluru,\u201d he said, speaking at the 67th Foundation Day of IIT Kharagpur.<\/p>
The question I wish to raise here is what about researchers from some other branch of research, like humanities or social sciences? I believe this stems from the \"humanities students only protest while engineers work hard for the development of the country\" thought process; with emphasis being put on sciences and technical branches of research, to ensure these branches attract more students than humanities and social sciences (which is already the case).<\/p>
One sad part of the Indian educational system and subsequently Indian professionals is that most of the people study engineering, in hopes of easy jobs and opportunities. Most of the engineers that this country churns out, work in some or the other MNC based out of some other country, so indirectly working and making money for the companies based out of other countries. Because of these companies outsourcing most of their workforce to India, from the government's perspective and from the perspective of most parents in this country, it is important to study only engineering as it will solve a lot of problems (the major one being that of unemployment) but technical education and technical expertise will never solve societal problems.<\/p>
I had written earlier speaking about why humanities and tech students<\/a> should understand each other but now, it seems as if the entire country should understand the importance of studying humanities and social sciences and pursuing those branches as career options too. <\/p>The constitution that protects you, was written by a humanities person. The laws that protect you, were formulated by people from humanities' backgrounds. The newspapers that you read to consume news, are written by people who studied journalism, which is again a branch of humanities. <\/p>It is imperative for everyone in this country to understand the importance of humanities, especially parents' of teenagers so that these branches can also be seen as career options. The government, in its turn, should also realise the importance of humanities and give humanities researchers too, their fair share of fellowships.<\/p>"}]

There must be times when you look at a person and think, \"Damn! She's so good! I wish I could be like her. I'm not even half as good as her.\" That, friend, right there is a problem.<\/p>
First of all, it's a great thing that you admire her. You are fortunate if you are surrounded by such people. You are blessed with an opportunity to learn<\/i> from such people. Now it depends on how you take this opportunity. Wishing<\/i> to be like that person, it isn't good for you. You need to understand that \"you are a unique<\/b> person, with unique strengths and weaknesses\". And you need to respect that. You owe it to yourself to have a self-check. Study yourself. Find out your plus points (everyone has them), and understand your weaknesses (again, everyone has them). Use your strengths to 'upgrade' yourself, and turn your weaknesses into your strengths by persistently working on them. Keep challenging yourself. A day will come when you'll look back and be surprised by how much you have improved. How good you feel about yourself. You'll be proud of yourself.<\/p>
But yes, admiring that person, and learning<\/i> from her, that will be a lot beneficial for you. You could approach her, and talk to her. Get to know her. One thing I've realized is that they aren't too different from us. The BIG difference, however, is that they believe<\/i> in themselves. They have a passion, a DESIRE to improve themselves. To use their potential to the maximum. Now think about it for a moment, honestly, have you ever even 'thought'<\/i> about this? <\/p>
It's okay if you haven't. The fact that you aren't where you want to be should be enough motivation. Believe me when I say you have a lot more potential than you can imagine. Believe in yourself. And the best time to do that is now. Get a pen n paper. Visualize your desire, plan your goal, and write it down. Read it aloud every day, and have FAITH. <\/p>
\"Everything is an illusion until it is done!! Just have the courage to believe in your illusion to make it real.\"<\/i> -Vyshnavi Panjhazari<\/p>
It is necessary to have that BURNING DESIRE. That desire to succeed. To be the best version of yourself. Never compare yourself to anyone. Anyone, other than you. Success is when you are better than what you were before. If you have improved yourself, physically, mentally, academically, spiritually, socially, or any 'lly' (hehe), I mean if you have improved yourself in any aspect of your life, and if you are even a fraction better than what you were, say, a month ago, then my friend, I admire you.<\/p>"}]
Virtual Reality or VR as it is generally referred to is most hyped technology initially created for gaming is all set to change the way many things work from here on! Let's look at a few things VR would make it's Mark on!<\/p>\n
What it is??\n \n Virtual Reality is a simulated environment created using computer technology where we could say the user literally lives in a fantasy world that is created as he immerses himself in it. Besides viewing the user can touch, hear,feel, and even smell things.<\/p>\n
How VR differs from AR(AugmentedReality)\nis that AR is the result of overlapping of the Digital world and the world we live in whereas VR takes the user to a completely new world that is different from ours.<\/p>\n
VR Headset:\n \n VR Headset is the basic instrument needed to experience virtual reality. It's like a thick pair of goggles that go over your eyes. There are different types of VR headsets available in the market. But Basically there are two types of VR headsets.<\/p>\n
The smartphone based VR like the Google Cardboard and Samsung hear VR which use a smartphone as a source to experience VR.<\/p>\n
The other type are the high-end ones like Oculus rift from Facebook, Vive from HTC,\nPlayStation VR from Sony. They need a powerful PC to which they are connected and offer a complete VR experience.<\/p>\n
How it works: \n In a basic VR like Google Cardboard two lenses are placed in between the source and eyes at an optical distance. It forms an overlapped image from the lenses in front of the user's eyes enabling him to experience the 3-D effects. It is in budget and offers good experience to the first timers. The better is the quality of the lens used, the better you could experience.<\/p>\n
A High-end VR is accompanied by a powerful PC to which it is connected<\/u> to intensify the experience the user gets. These guarantee a very immersive and interactive experience with sharper and smoother moving imagery . These are by far greater than the basic types in terms of quality and hence costs more. These allow you to Move more like you could be at the top of Everest by actually roaming in your balcony ;)<\/p>\n
How would it change things:\n \nGaming:<\/p>\n
VR has entirely changed the perspective towards gaming. Playing a game by indulging everything of yourself inside it is something that brings a whole new level of excellence .It will offer a very impressive and immersive experience to the user . VR makes it possible to bring people virtually together and play when they are physically far away. The visual effects, that lively feeling and immersive experience VR brings on the games is most unlikely the stereotypes we play on consoles and mobiles like You could yourself search around for bombs and dismantle a bomb instead of using keys and controls.Seems very cool right ;-)<\/p>\n
Films:\n \n VR opens a whole new possibilities in the experience you would get through watching films. Talk about 3-D movies and think of an actual 3-D movie world you can look around in as you see it, looking at the action from different angles and paying attention to whatever you choose to through the 360 degree view.\n \n It's literally roaming around in the Jurassic park while you watch the dinosaurs pass through you. It's very exciting the way it sounds right? ;-)<\/p>\n
Visiting Places:<\/p>\n
As I told you VR could bring close the people that matter to you the most but are physically apart ,the same way it helps you visit places you couldn't even dream of! Just think looking around the world on Google maps and think how ecstatic it can be if you move around the steep planes, high mountains and breathtaking waterfalls in the world and experience with your own eyes!\n \n VR allows you to remote tours of museums, monuments and estates you couldn't even afford to visit without leaving your living room. super awesome!<\/p>\n
Surgeries:<\/p>\n
It's better and safer for surgeons in training to perfect Thier techniques on things other than real humans and also better for them to practice on things that aren't just plastic models or people who volunteer their bodies to medical sciences and VR opens a way for them.<\/p>\n
As such ,a fully interactive ,accurately modelled specimen, suffering from specific ailments that need surgery to be carried through a VR-interface would make for a lot better trained and better performing surgeons. This is cool!<\/p>\n
Space Odyssey and Underwater herald:<\/p>\n
Space and ocean beds are the extreme places one could ever visit but are very curious to explore them.A space agency putting cameras over their equipment AMD sending them out to the great black unknown with people on earth navigating through a VR would make space exploration in a way we've never seen before.<\/p>\n
The same goes with underwater. Exploring the sea bed from sea weed to swimming along with the great blue whale through a VR interface would be so dope.:-D<\/p>\n
Plane simulation:<\/p>\n
Pilots already learn using flight simulators and just like the surgeons they could really do with something a lot more immersive and realistic to properly hone their skills. VR is the greatest till they could make use of.It could save a lot of fuel too.<\/p>\n
Make sure you play the air simulator next time you grab a VR.\n:-)<\/p>\n
Improving the life of people:<\/p>\n
There are many people out there who aren't capable of leading a normal life. They dream of exploring and experience the wonders of the world too.VR could be the thing that could provide the disabled people with the things they deserve just like normal people. It's a brilliant thing :-)<\/p>\n
Grab your headset and experience the virtual world today.\n \n - Ananth ;-)<\/p>\n","id":"1503173709590","type":"txt"},{"data":"5998982fdfc8e","id":"1503173709606","type":"img"},{"data":"

It has been my longstanding belief than us internet savvy Indians, those of us who dwell in urban settings, are far removed from the struggles of the common Indian citizen. We are the privileged few, the ones who sit in AC rooms, concrete houses, music systems blaring English soft-pop songs that appeal to our emotions, write articles like these from an expensive laptop, which is one laptop among the two or three around our homes. <\/p>
The majority of India is not the same way. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1503242988086","data":"599a9a8d9ff44"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1503301567776","data":"
Yesterday evening, as I walked my customary evening walk through my favourite haunts in the area around my house, I spotted a man, a thin, frail, shaking man begging for food. He looked destitute and ready to collapse at any second. He went to a snack stall and begged for food, when a person took pity on him and bought him a plate of Mirchi Bhajjis<\/i> and a water bottle to quench his thirst. <\/p>
The man was so overwhelmed, he sat on the ground and began to cry before eating. Such is the human condition of people in this country. There is such extreme poverty here that it breaks my heart to even witness it. <\/p>
But that's the thing with all of us, isn't it? We know there is poverty all around us and yet we would be much happier to ignore it and live in our own bubbles, get offended when some foreigner calls India a poor country. <\/p>
India is poor, plain and simple. Fighting poverty should be our number one priority but our leaders always seem to have a different idea. Of course, the rich irony of me writing this article instead of actually doing something isn't lost upon me at all, but this is all I can do for now, and I sorely wish I knew a method of helping those in need. <\/p>
The middle class of this country is in a unique position. We are rich enough to avoid and ignore the poverty around us, but not rich enough to completely forget its existence. No, that is the realm of the superrich, the people who live in private villas in gated communities and travel only to posh areas of the city where they might see a beggar or two once or twice in a month. <\/p>
This has to change, we need to become better than we are. <\/p>"}]
Why do you keep on staring on the same old path? History gets made when you're acting like a fool just don't hold it back and run, show what you have got and own it. <\/p>
If you trust your rebel heart then go ride it into the battle. Don't be afraid to take the road less traveled. May be you'll find obstacles or may be you'll find the road full of gravels just wear your boots and kick up the gravel. What's the thrill in traveling on a fine smooth road? Life starts only when we step out from our comfort zone.The road less traveled could simply mean anything from being your own person to find your own life without the influence of others. First, you need to be your best friend, you got to believe yourself. Even if no one likes you, you need to like yourself. Even if no one loves you, you need to love yourself. In fact, only when you learn to believe in yourself, the world will believe you. While the world is busy with the routine go and explore the unexplored.Who might know, the less traveled path which you have chosen may become the choice for the others. Who's stopping you? Just remember one thing when you don't give up, Life will give it to you. <\/p>
Put your hands and up and show the world that your one of a kind. Take the road that is less traveled. All inventions and discoveries of the world have come from people who ventured bravely into the unknown. So, throw yourself into the unknown. Make a rebellious move. Take the daring plunge.<\/b><\/p>"}]
A few days back we have happily hoisted our Tiranga at the Red Fort to celebrate our 70th Independence day. We all know about the massive struggles our dear leaders have gone through to get this freedom. Apart from all these things, there are certain facts that are lesser-known to people.<\/p>
\u2022\tThe date \u2018August 15' was chosen by the Last Viceroy and first Governor General of India Lord Mountbatten as it was the same day in 1945 that Japan surrendered to the Allied Forces at the end of the World War II. <\/p>

\u2022\tWe all know the fact that Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was the first Prime Minister of India. But he was not always the first choice. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel had the majority of votes but Nehru didn't want to play second in command to anyone. Mahatma Gandhi had a soft spot for Nehru he requested Sardar Patel to step down.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1503151734258","data":"599846e643346"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1503151754974","data":"
