While the Swachch Bharat Mission is a major photo opportunity for many, with people of all age groups doing it jut for the sake of getting that one good picture that they can post on their personal social media profiles, this 23 year old IT professional from Hyderabad goes to different places all over and literally gets her hands dirty to make the places clean. <\/p>

On realising that Ongole was the third most undeveloped town in Andhra Pradesh, she wanted to do something about it and that's how she started Bhoomi. \"I was inspired by the Ugly Indian campaign and in a similar way, I got volunteers and started fixing one spot every weekend,\" says the girl who used to travel 300+ kilometers every weekend from Hyderabad to Ongole to do it. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493203692835","data":"59007b43ca9b2"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493202898675","data":" It was not an easy task for her as initially, she faced a lot of mockery, much like that Gandhian quote \"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.\" Her persistent efforts in cleaning up one place after the other rubbed off on people in Ongole and since then, people have been actively joining her in cleaning up different spots across the city. \"Now if someone dumps any trash at any of the places we've cleaned, people nearby stop them from doing it and inform us immediately,\" says Tejaswi, whose continued efforts in cleaning up 82 spots have led to Ongole being declared a 'Poster Free City' by the state government."},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493203716291","data":"59007b54078ad"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493203201768","data":"\"I want to bring a change in people's minds about cleanliness.

When Bahubali: The Beginning was released, most offices and colleges were empty as people lined up outside theatres to watch the much awaited magnum-opus by S S Rajamouli. While some thronged the movie for the visuals, some came to see the two hunks - Rana and Prabhas in action, for all the hype that was created about it and the movie sure didn't disappoint as it was literally a treat to the eyes, in all ways. And it went on to become the third highest grossing Indian films of all time.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493192764983","data":"

With exam season hanging just above our heads, ready to drop any moment, it is important to remember these few points and make sure you check them off as the date for the exams approach. <\/p>
1. Check equipment<\/b> <\/p>
You do not want to be caught off guard in final sprint to the exams, and especially on the day of the exam itself. Keep a regular check on your equipment, always put it in the same place you picked it up from so it's easier to find again, and hiss at anyone who tries to tell you your room is a mess. They don't understand that their is beauty in chaos, but I digress.<\/p>
One of the worst things that can happen on exam day is you misplacing something crucial, like a calculator or carrying a malfunctioning pen with you. Take care of your equipment, people. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493123859133","data":"58ff474f4b8b8"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493123861948","data":"
2. Follow Time Table to the letter<\/b><\/p>
We've been talking about this for weeks now, but always have a time table and be ready to tackle issues head on so you don't panic at the end. Study now, chill and revise later, and right before the exam, give yourself a day or two for the full scoop. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493124342778","data":"58ff47739f5f2"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493124345252","data":"
3. Eat Healthy <\/b> <\/p>
As someone who was quite reckless with his health, trust me when I say this, take care of your health before the exams. Eat at home, don't eat from places with questionable hygiene, and make sure you eat enough to get all the vitamins and protein your body needs. It's very important. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493124446348","data":"58ff478af16f4"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493124449069","data":"
4. When in doubt, ask (not in the exam hall though) <\/b> <\/p>
Check with your friends and professors if you need something explained to you fast and quickly. The trick here is to make a list of the chapters you want to study and study all of them one by one so you aren't left short changed. So go ahead, ask and ask shamelessly if you have to. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493124613747","data":"58ff47b51cacd"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493124615581","data":"
5. Sleep <\/b> <\/p>
It's sad that I even have to type this out. Sleep is probably the most important thing you can do before an exam, and you can do it peacefully as well if you follow your time table perfectly. Waking up fresh in the morning and going to the exam hall as sharp as a samurai sword will always put you in a better position than staying up all night and barely managing to write your exam because of lack of sleep. <\/p>
So sleep, and sleep well, or you know, this will happen. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493124714023","data":"58ff484b8369d"}]

Srinivasa Ramanujan was one of India's greatest minds, a peerless genius who was ahead of his time, surprising many eminent mathematicians from across the world. Today, his life has also been turned into a Hollywood movie starring Dev Patel in the role of the quite and shy genius of math, titled The Man Who Knew Infinity, and know he did. <\/p>
So today, on the anniversary of his birth, let us take a look at his greatest contributions to Mathematics<\/p>
1. Letters to G. H. Hardy<\/b> <\/p>
Ramanujan, with the help of his friends, had written letters and sent his theorems to professors in England in the late 1900s and early 1910s. While many professors returned his papers without comment, G. H. Hardy couldn't believe his own eyes. Hardy at first thought that the papers from from a potential fraud, but then later concluded that nobody would posses the imagination to conjure up the theorems Ramanujan had proved. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493117909468","data":"58ff31a899b76"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493117911991","data":"

This is one of Ramanujan's most famous equation, helping in the construction of Ramanujan graphs by Lubotzky.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493118420177","data":"58ff2e35eddf0"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493118453815","data":"
3. Ramanujan Notebooks<\/b> <\/p>
Following his death at the young age of 32, Srinivasa's brother collected his papers and his notebooks to publish them, which he did. It is considered one of the most important works of modern mathematics. But many of his notes were still lost and discovered later, and as such, there are 4 notebooks of his that have been published since then. The publication of the notebooks also gave rise to a popular misconception that Ramanujan couldn't solve the theorems but wrote the final result directly, but this is not true, as there is no reason for Ramanujan to write the proof in his own notes without having to explain it to someone. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493118536529","data":"58ff31c3937d0"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493118539004","data":"
4. Ramanujan's work with the infinite series<\/b> <\/p>
The very series that caught G. H. Hardy's attention, amazing him enough to request Ramanujan to come to Cambridge, which he promptly refused due to resistance from parents. This has also earned him the nickname: The Man Who Know Infinity. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493118882723","data":"58ff2ffe89647"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493118999400","data":"
5. Hardy\u2013Ramanujan Number (1729)<\/b><\/p>
A bit of a story, this one. During his time in England and at Cambridge University, Ramanujan would often fall sick due to various health issues. During one such period where he was sick, his Academic Advisor and fast friend G. H. Hardy went to see him in a taxicab bearing the number 1729. When Hardy remarked that 1729 was a dull number, and that he hoped it wasn't a bad omen, to which Ramanujan replied, \"No, it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways.\"<\/p>
Recounting his anecdote years later, Hardy quoted Professor Littlewood, his colleague and Ramanujan's other academic advisor, that 'every positive integer was Ramanujan's personal friend.'<\/p>

Lab external is actually one of the most difficult exams for students. In this article I'm going to write about how students face problems in a lab external exam and the funny things they do.<\/p>
1.Unexpected Questions:<\/b><\/p>
External faculty are very clever that they can scare the students by giving unexpected and indirect questions. They will ask to write programs which are not executed in lab hours. The amount of over action done by lab assistants is directly proportional to the questions they give in the exam.<\/p>
2.Unexpected Answers:<\/b><\/p>
Students are cleverer than the external faculty. Students write the answers unexpected for the unexpected questions. Haha! Students always hardly prepare 2 or 3 experiments or programs and they will write those answers,but not regarding the questions. After seeing our program lab external faulty will make a headbang and almost about to faint.<\/p>
3.The Pokers: <\/b><\/p>
Toppers always find the questions very easy and they answer them so quickly. The backbenchers always poke them for the answers and they will be caught to the invigilators. If invigilator ask \"what are you asking for\" then students reply \"I was asking for a pencil sir\"!.<\/p>
4.Accurate Values:<\/b><\/p>
It's very hard to execute a program on external exam though students have executed them in lab hours. Few will write the output values which are opted from the toppers. Students rarely executes a program or an experiment in an external exam due to nervousness. They opt values from toppers and plot them on the graphs without executing the program or experiment.<\/p>
5.The VIVA:<\/b><\/p>
And here comes a chance to prove our acting skills and dialogue writing skills. We make funny expressions for whatever the external ask. We will become dumb after listening to their questions. We will feel like sitting in an oven during viva session. After finishing the viva,next batch students will interview you about the whole examination and viva session. Sarcastically we will say that external is very easy and viva session ran smoothly. And the music starts for the next batch.<\/p>"}]
With the release of the highly anticipated Bahubali: The Conclusion almost upon us, a website by the name newtickets.in popped up out of nowhere following some launch announcement on Facebook, promising to sell tickets of SS Rajamouli's magnum opus. <\/p>
Now normally, this wouldn't have caused much of an issue, except for the fact that this website was started only on April 7th, registered in Coimbatore but runs on an IP address from Dubai. That alone is a giant red flag.<\/p>
However, the second warning signs came when the website showed empty theatres across the city for Bahubali: The Conclusion while the same tickets were shown to be already booked on BookMyShow. That didn't stop Newtickets.in from happily accepting your money, however. Payment still went through and you were shown that you have booked tickets already, when in reality your money goes to the scammers. So after some sleuthing and reporting to the Cyber Crimes division, it has now come to light that the website runs on an IP address based in Dubai.<\/p>
It's important to to remember not to be scammed by such elements. Usually the saying trust but verify applies, but when it comes to one of the most anticipated Telugu movies of all time, you have to verify before trusting. Besides, the website only advertised Bahubali: The Conclusion and no other movie, and that alone should have turned most people off. <\/p>
But I don't really blame people for wanting to see the crowning jewel of Telugu cinema on the first day. However, if you missed your chance, you can still participate in the Bahubali Quiz we conduct and stand a chance to win Day 1, first day first show tickets to Bahubali: The Conclusion, just check stuMagz Facebook page for more details, or you could check out the quiz by clicking here!<\/a><\/p>"}]
This summer has been unbearable, and it's not even May yet. Considering the fact that many students today have exams and still have to go to college in this unbearable heat, we ask various students how they're dealing with the heat. Here's what they had to say. <\/p>
Shiva Seshasai of MGIT said, \"We had to travel 25 kilometres in scorching heat. The journey included multiple stops at juice stands, about 5 actually,\" he laughs, \"other than that, I'm just staying home, with the AC on, playing DoTA and Overwatch.\"<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493044392496","data":"58fe0cfa704b3"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493044408594","data":"

Luckily we have water coolers in college, and we have access to cold water, which helps. But apart from that, there's very little we can do to escape the heat\" says the student of GRIET. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493044583437","data":"58fe0db230d78"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493044597807","data":"

Further north, in New Delhi, second year engineering student in Guru Teg Bahadur Institute of Technology Jeevan Deep Singh talks about how students have been dealing with getting to college in Delhi's infamous summer heat, \"There's no AC buses on the route to college, so we mostly end up using Uber and carpooling to the college. Most of us who used scootys or bikes to come to college are now using Uberpool,\" he says, \"however, at home I've been using the AC and bathing twice a day to keep cool.\"<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493063469328","data":"58fe5778f262b"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493063479839","data":"

Whenever one's going out, it's also important to remember to use sunscreens with the right amount of SPF, eat healthy and drink a lot of water. Protecting eyes and face with sunglasses and scarves or helmets is also a must,\" says the young student, \"people often underestimate how useful sunscreens can be.\" <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493063897260","data":"58fe592c43410"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493063921847","data":"
