As the world moved to the age of the Internet, cell phone devices progressively got slimmer and more powerful, but also fragile. From mountain breaking phones back in the early 2000s, to sleek and thin but powerful phones of today, technology has come a long way. <\/p>
Ask yourself this, how many of your batchmates have you seen with a broken phone? There is almost always one person in the group with a broken and busted phone, which surprises you because you cannot believe how the phone is still working after being damaged like that, and sympathise with your friend when he says he has no time to go get his phone repaired. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493635961339","data":"590713c3b5df4"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493625442231","data":"

It is said that humans are like books, everyone has their own story, but unless you flip open the cover and start reading, you don't really know what the story is. Keeping this in mind, back in the year 2000, Ronni Abergel and his brother Dany and colleagues Asma Mouna and Christoffer Erichsen started a human library as a project in Copenhagen, where people with stories to tell would be books, and readers could 'borrow' them and talk to them for a preset amount of time. <\/p>
It wasn't long before it spread across the world, and here, in Hyderabad, a young 24-year-old decided to do something about it. Meet Harshad Fad, a Media and Business Management graduate from Annapurna International School of Film + Media. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493646603094","data":"59073d7a23ed0"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493646648249","data":"
\"I first heard of Human Libraries on facebook and thought to myself that it is a wonderful concept. Sadly, however, the concept didn't catch on in Asia,\" says Harshad, \"however, in a country as diverse as ours, there is a lot of stories to be told and a lot of perspective that need to be understood.\"<\/p>
Harshad then started his journey on setting up Hyderabad's first Human Library, simply called Human Library Hyderabad on facebook (click here<\/a> to visit the page). \"You need to ask for permission from The Human Library Organisation before you set one up yourself, which I did,\" he continues, \"then the preperations for the first Human Library Hyderabad event started.\"<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493647942786","data":"590742a28ec25"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493647944960","data":"\"We had 10 human books and 70 readers at the first event we held, and at the second, we had 20 books and 110 readers,\" Harshad says, \"initially the duration one could borrow a book for was 20 minutes, but we increased it to 30 after a lot of people complained that it wasn't nearly enough.\"<\/p>The idea behind human libraries is to engage conversation and challenge prejudices, and it does that with the help of deep meaningful conversation with the books, \"It isn't easy, telling your story to a complete stranger, but conversation helps, and when you're in a one on one conversation, you tend to be more accepting of opposing opinions and viewpoints, more willing to discuss rather than dismiss,\" says Harshad with a smile, \"it is a great way to talk to someone who comes from a completely different background from yours.\" <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493648365398","data":"5907446275f6d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493648367343","data":"Talking about personal issues can be a harrowing experience and Human Libraries acknowledge this, \"It is practice to talk to the books after the sessions to make sure they're emotionally okay and willing to continue talking to more readers.

The Common Law Admission Test is an annual exam for admissions into 18 prestigious national law universities, with the responsibility of conducting the test shifting every year, falling on Chanakya National Law University, Patna this year. <\/p>
Written post 12th or Intermediate, the test is a gate an aspiring lawyer must jump to gain admissions into the premier law universities across the country. Here's how one can prepare for the CLAT<\/p>
1. Do not panic <\/b><\/p>
I know your boards just ended but if you panic now, you're gonna have a hard time studying. Apart from stating the obvious however, it is important to remember to make the most of the 12 days leading up to the exam, the how is listed in this article. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493641597912","data":"59072f68e6e8a"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493641600135","data":"
2. English is your best friend. <\/b> <\/p>
Reading comprehension will help you tremendously. This isn't something you will develop overnight but make sure to make a habit of reading the newspaper regularly and a ton of reports and books will help you get better with reading comprehension. Including comprehension, English is a 40 mark section that you can and should use to score high marks. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493642169627","data":"59072faa4fc5f"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493642171944","data":"
3. Understanding Legal Aptitude and General Knowledge<\/b><\/p>
The 50 mark section of the CLAT is perhaps the one where most students suffer. However, with the right amount of preparation and knowing what you should cover, you can tackle this section successfully without fear of losing marks to negative marking. Many experts believe that students panic and try to study all of IPC and CrPC, which is quite counter productive. The generally agreed upon consensus is that <\/p>
Criminal Law<\/p>
Indian Constitution<\/p>
Contract Act<\/p>
Law of Tort<\/p>
are the most frequently asked questions in CLAT. So focus your energies properly and you're good to go.<\/p>
As for GK, there's really no set syllabus for this, except that you should remember important events in recent history, awards given, medals won, UN's functioning and it's work. For someone who reads the newspaper regularly this should not be a problem. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493642430747","data":"59072fcf5ac76"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493642432516","data":"
4. Know thy question <\/b> <\/p>
There is negative marking in CLAT. 1 mark for right answer, -0.25 if you answer it wrong. However, if you leave it unanswered, you get 0 marks, which means it is much better to make an educated guess than to blindly mark the answer. If you don't know something, leave it as it is, there's no point losing marks over it. <\/p>

The City of Pearls has come a really long way since population started springing around the river Musi many hundreds of years ago. There is a rich history of this city, left only to be glimpsed neath the facade of modern electric and internet lines. <\/p>
Times have changed, but some things have remained the same over the years, with new experiences only adding to the ever growing list of things that add to the uniqueness of the city. So, keeping this in mind here's a list of the unique experiences you can only find in Hyderabad. <\/p>
1. Irani Chai <\/b><\/p>
Hyderabad's Irani Chai is ridiculously famous, with famous cafes in the city serving some of the best tea you'll ever have. Places like Nimrah at Charminar and Cafe Nilofur near the hospital of the same name have been around for decades, and still are committed to serving the best chai possible. You haven't visited Hyderabad if you haven't had chai at these places. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493634998852","data":"59071dd0dd748"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493635001054","data":"
2. Hyderabadi Biryani <\/b><\/p>
There simply isn't enough time for me to talk about how good Hyderabadi Biryani is.

Haleem itself is not unique to Hyderabad, as variations of it exist across the Middle East. However, Hyderabadi Haleem is unique for its taste and it's prominence in local culture when the month of Ramzan comes calling. It is delicious beyond measure, I can assure you of that. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493636715687","data":"59071d8080b2a"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493636718300","data":"

5. Prasads IMAX <\/b><\/p>
72 foot tall, 95 foot wide, and a sound system that will make even the most ardent audiophile nod their heads in approval, the Prasads IMAX screen is one of the biggest in the world. Sadly, however, it does not have the new digital IMAX projector which is now universally used. However, Christopher Nolan's movies are still shot in 70MM IMAX format, so Prasads IMAX was the only screen in India to play the true IMAX experience of Interstellar. <\/p>
Movie buffs from across the country travelled to Hyderabad just to catch the movie on the screen, and what an experience it was. Personally, I watched it 4 times when it was still running, and it remains one of my most enchanting movie watch experiences, and I cannot wait for Nolan's next movie, Dunkirk, which will also be shot in IMAX 70mm. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493637688442","data":"59071d2a67292"}]
It is always a pleasure to listen to stories of student bands that find success, but often people forget that the road to that success is long and arduous. A person, let alone a student, requires the dedication and time it needs to become proficient with the instrument of their choice, and then start performing shows. We speak to one such student band that have no only honed their craft but are all set to perform at Hard Rock Cafe on May 4th. <\/p>
Meet The Detour, a quartet band with Niteesh Kondiparthi and Aditya Ravikanti as the vocalists and guitarists, Sagar Ramchandruni as the bassist, and Akshay Kore on drums. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493574886634","data":"59062c78bd147"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493574905192","data":"
We caught up with the band preparing for their upcoming gig for a talk, here is what they had to say! <\/p>
\"We started quite recently, and this won't be our first time performing live on stage, we've all been in different bands before, performing live across Hyderabad, but this is the first time all of us are coming together as The Detour,\" says Niteesh Kondiparthi. <\/p>
On being asked how he started his journey, 23-year old bassist Sagar Ramchandruni said, \"I've always wanted to be a bassist, I knew back in college itself that this is what I wanted to do. I started learning in 2011 and haven't looked back since then. Since then, I've done shows across Hyderabad, and the upcoming show is going to be my 4th at Hard Rock Cafe, but first with The Detour.\"<\/p>

Our conversation with Niteesh led to discussing the band's musical influences, \"We're influenced a lot by classic rock. Bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Red Hot Chilli Peppers for example. However, with The Detour, we aren't restricting ourselves to strictly one genre; we also perform blues, sometimes regional songs\" says Niteesh.<\/p>
Akshay Kore, the drummer, only started learning how to play in December 2014, \"He learned how to play and became proficient in a very short time,\" says Aditya Ravikanti, a student of B.Com at St. Mary's College, about the band's drummer. <\/p>
We asked the band what their advice to their fellow students and peers would be. Niteesh responded by channelling Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl's quote about Nirvana, \"We got together and jammed, and it sucked, but we eventually got better\", whereas Aditya Ravikanti laughed and said, \"If you think you've done enough practice, you're wrong.\" <\/p>
Sagar further elaborated on their advice to students, \"If you're a student band and you want to make it big, you've got to stick to the music you're making. No amount of making covers will help in telling you how you sound like. You can only find your sound when you're making music on your own. So go slow, and believe in yourself.\"<\/p>

It was not long ago that a student from Columbia University embarked on an individual crusade<\/a> against her rape by a male member of the same institute. She carried a mattress on her shoulder, as a protest against the institution that deliberately remained mum on the issue of complaints. This was neither the first case and would not be the last case of harassment to happen in the context of college campuses, in supposed \u201csafe spaces\u201d for learning. I guess, the awakening call would come by the context of the #HokKolorob movement by the pupils in Jadavpur University, pupils who couldn't bear to see the molestation of a female student go unanswered. <\/p>However, the ball has kept rolling since, then. And as Jadavpur University has again and again graced the headlines with the numerous tone deaf actions by the authority despite, the change in charge. Apparently, the institutionalised violence against women was not to be stopped. Cue, to the beginning of 2016, where women from the university and from nearby cases would file a case<\/a> against Ekalavya Choudhury, a person who has a deterministic space in the intelligentsia of the Kolkata community using an online movement that would turn several heads. <\/p>However, herein too, the matter has been treated with a distasteful complacency. The complaints have been treated with brazen non-chalance<\/a>, leading to committee reports being created, but, no survivor being informed of the words inside it, or the factors that are playing into the punishment. All while, Ekalavya, the alleged culprit, is suspended without any consequences to his academic qualification and enjoys a glorified \u201cpaid vacation\u201d. What has seemingly complicated matters is the placarded resistance against any hearing from the survivors, who have tried and tried again to find a voice and failed. This after all led to formation of WASH. The statuses began to circulate with increasing frequency about a month ago. The \u201cWomen against Sexual Harassment<\/a>\u201d, a group who stand up for sexual harassment survivors and help in taking steps towards the same.<\/p>In a recent development a few days ago, the members of WASH took over the campus to paint the signs over the roads, declaring the how unsafe those spaces were. \u201cTHIS IS NOT A SAFE SPACE. MOLESTATION HAPPENS HERE.\u201d one of the declarations read. This is a movement that I personally view as important, a part of voice against the administration that needs to be said. <\/p>It needs to be re-iterated that art projects like this are extremely important for raising awareness and driving movements. In a world where the \u201cBrave girl\u201d statue in wall street, seemingly facing off the capitalist regime driven by the \u201cRaging Bull\u201d remains a source of eternal debate, and where people like Brock Turner can escape with a pat in the back. Here, these art pieces a vocal protest against the institutionalised crime. \u201cInstitutionalised\u201d? You ask? After the vocal participation in the movement by the survivors, the university takes little steps, and even refuses to form a centralised committee for the same. <\/p>The rampant discrimination runs so deep that there are complaints coming in still. There is still violence being documented. We need to acknowledge this. That our universities which we prided on, for being pristine institutions without any problems, have a lot of problems in their own, problems that run all the way up the authority. And we need to take steps. <\/p>A reminder, you can also write into WASH, by following the direction given in their facebook page<\/a>, come up with complaints of the violence you face.

What has seemingly complicated matters is the placarded resistance against any hearing from the survivors, who have tried and tried again to find a voice and failed. This after all led to formation of WASH. The statuses began to circulate with increasing frequency about a month ago.

MOLESTATION HAPPENS HERE.\u201d one of the declarations read. This is a movement that I personally view as important, a part of voice against the administration that needs to be said. <\/p>It needs to be re-iterated that art projects like this are extremely important for raising awareness and driving movements. In a world where the \u201cBrave girl\u201d statue in wall street, seemingly facing off the capitalist regime driven by the \u201cRaging Bull\u201d remains a source of eternal debate, and where people like Brock Turner can escape with a pat in the back. Here, these art pieces a vocal protest against the institutionalised crime. \u201cInstitutionalised\u201d? You ask? After the vocal participation in the movement by the survivors, the university takes little steps, and even refuses to form a centralised committee for the same. <\/p>The rampant discrimination runs so deep that there are complaints coming in still. There is still violence being documented. We need to acknowledge this. That our universities which we prided on, for being pristine institutions without any problems, have a lot of problems in their own, problems that run all the way up the authority. And we need to take steps. <\/p>A reminder, you can also write into WASH, by following the direction given in their facebook page<\/a>, come up with complaints of the violence you face.

The much awaited movie Bahubali released yesterday and has already been overbooked for the next few days. Sadly, the makers released it in the exam season and we all have some sadistic friends who will make our lives hell if we don't take them along for the movie. So what exactly happens if you don't invite your sadistic friend<\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1493473098593","data":"QnguzvlU1Cg"}]
If you spend a lot of your time on the computer and your work involves a lot of typing, you haven't lived until you've experienced a mechanical keyboard. If you have, and wanted to buy one yourself but stopped because of the insane prices of the 'gaming' grade mechanical keyboard, worry not, because India's very own TVS Gold Bharat Mechanical Keyboard is the cheapest mech keyboard on the market, and also one of the best. <\/p>
Let me be clear with this, this review will sound like I've gone slightly insane with how much I'm praising a keyboard, of all things, but I'm quite serious when I say this: typing on this mechanical keyboard has been some of the most joyous moments in my writing career. The satisfying sounds it makes, the way the keyboard clicks into places when you press a button and the fact that no matter how many buttons you press, it's still gonna handle it like a champ because that's what mechanical keyboards do. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493471770938","data":"59049336684bf"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493471772749","data":"
Let's be clear with one thing, there is a marked difference between using a mechanical keyboard and a membrane keyboard, which many people only know as the regular old keyboard available for a few hundred rupees. A membrane keyboard has a sheet under the keys which is used to transmit commands and type, whereas a mechanical keyboard does not rely on any membrane and the input is more direct. The lack of a membrane also greatly helps in making typing more comfortable, satisfying and fun. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493471988402","data":"590493562f9ba"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493472020576","data":"
As is the case with any mechanical keyboard, the keys are removable and replaceable. The button switches are a little thin, but then that's expected for a budget mechanical keyboard that is still the best in business in India. <\/p>
The keyboard is a full 104 key sized board, and it is huge compared to the traditional keyboards you see in various internet cafes, your laptop and sometimes you own desktop PC. The large size gives you ample room to work, allowing you to position your hands comfortably and get to work. In fact, this review is being typed on a Mac with the TVS Gold connected to it via USB. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493472269086","data":"59049474a7b5b"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493472307689","data":"
I cannot really think of a big negative point about these keyboards at all, for the price it is sold at, it does more than enough and is a bang for your buck. The only disadvantage I can see is that it is as loud as a traditional mechanical keyboard, and if you're someone who enjoys working in the night unless you close your room, you're gonna wake the entire house up due to the loudness of the keyboard. The second negative that I can think of is that the keys are not backlit, but for the price point, it does more than enough, so the complaint is more like a nitpick. <\/p>
The build quality is extremely sturdy. In case the world ends tomorrow, you can use the TVS Gold as a weapon to defend yourself, it is that sturdy. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493472468111","data":"59049675808f0"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493472470425","data":"
Final thoughts<\/b><\/p>
TVS has been making these keyboards for well over 20 years, which obviously means that they know what they're doing with the keyboard. I remember seeing these keyboards for the first time at my mother's office and I've been a fan ever since. If you need a keyboard to make your work on the computer much easier, if you're a writer or a coder that prefers using a desktop, if you're someone who needs precision timing in commands issued while gaming, this is the keyboard for you. Buy it without a second thought, because once you go mech, you never go back.<\/p>
