He was born in a poor family, but he was an exceptionally brilliant child.Kalam passed the B.Sc. examination from Saint Joseph College, Thiruchirapalli. He joined Madras Institute of Technology (MIT). His further knowledge in the field got upgraded when he joined Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) in 1958 and Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in 1963.<\/p>
He is known as the Missile Man of India. The various Indian Missiles of world order like Prithvi, Trishul, Akash, Agni, etc. are mainly the result of his efforts and caliber.<\/p>
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam became the 11th President of India. He served the country from 2002 to 2007. For his excellence and brilliance, he was awarded the prestigious Bharat Ratna in 1998; Padma Vibhushan in 1990; and Padma Bhushan in 1981.<\/p>

On 30 July 2015, the former President was laid to rest at Rameswaram's Pei Karumbu Ground with full state honours. Over 350,000 people attended the last rites, including the Prime Minister, the governor of Tamil Nadu and the chief ministers of Karnataka, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.<\/p>
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam was mainly interested in work. He was a bachelor. He was not interested in going abroad. He wanted to serve his motherland first. <\/p>
He said that he thinks his first and foremost duty is to serve his motherland. He was fond of music and the Koran and the Gita. Ever since becoming the head of the Indian State, he had been having interaction with children all over the country.<\/p>
He was by no means a miracle man. His advice to the youngster of the nation was to \"dream dream and convert these into thoughts and later into actions\". <\/p>"}]
Education is something which gives us the potential to earn a living but...education with values is what gives us the sense of maturity and purpose of life along with knowledge.The former ,that is just education includes knowledge about superficial things around us which can be gained through technology that is booming in every sector nowadays!but it is the values and morals that give us the true essence of life and this value added education is imparted by our teachers who are the ones responsible for what we are today!<\/p>
The support and encouragement from our teachers gives us infinite strength to go beyond the bars of success! sometimes their words leave a deep impression ,which enables us to take the most crucial decisions of our life .Bookish lessons can just help us to some extent ,teachers teach out of their experience which is beyond the scope of books and gives us the real sense of learning.All of us may not be able prove our understanding with high marks or a great job and it doesn't even matter much when we talk about real life! But it is the quality interaction with our teachers that teaches us lessons for life and this what we are supposed to focus on for directing ourselves towards the right path of achieving goals!<\/p>
Initial days of intermediate were very hard for me,the level of competition was high enough to cope-up and go along with other students.First of all, I was very lonely as none of my school friends joined the intermediate college which I was into.It was a whole new atmosphere with high competitive spirit and did not give me any grip over what I was doing or what I was actually supposed to do! This made me experience the extreme levels of confusion and uncertainty that time.So,after a week of classes, we were asked to sit one per bench and solve problems by our own...sir went on dictating problems, everyone started trying ,few were yelling answers too..! but I was still trying to recollect the formula and procedure as we were not allowed to turn back pages.He observed me for a while but did not say anything.The very next day we had a test in JEE mains pattern and he was our invigilator! question paper was full of problems and as usual I was struck again, just felt like leaving the paper and walking out .Then he slowly came to me and whispered \"don't worry you can solve all the problems!try as many as you can,don't give up\"! . Just cannot express the positive vibes that I got with that one line.I might have not achieved wonders but whenever I think of it during my tough times it reminds me that my attempts may fail but I must never fail to attempt.<\/i><\/b>This experience has changed my way of thinking and made me much stronger than before!<\/b><\/i><\/p>
<\/p>
Having knowledge and good thoughts is always appreciated but spreading the same to the society and having a positive influence is much needed.We must always try to do it as much as we can. All my teachers have played a key role in my life,on this occasion of teacher's day I would like to thank them for their constant affection and support during my happy and tough times and let them know how special each one them has been to me. :)<\/p>

People don't usually care about others until they need something from them. Most of us cut ourselves off from others and stay with a select group of people that matters to us. The entire equation is about people building castles of their egos and living in them with a few select people. Some of these folks never even take the chance of introducing themselves or bothering to speak to someone who is on a lesser social equation than them. <\/p>
I read this story about a Teacher who set the easiest exam his class had ever taken. The students, excited that they were essentially being handed a good grade without any actual hard work, took the exam with much glee. That is, until they reached the last question. <\/p>
The last question was, 'What is the name of the cleaning lady who cleans this class?'<\/p>
Many bewildered looks and stares later, one student asked the teacher if the question would count towards their grade, to which the teacher replied in the affirmative. When the students had returned their exam sheets with the last questioned unattempted, the teacher survey the class and smiled. <\/p>
\"In your careers,\" he began, \"you will meet many people, all of whom are significant. They each deserve your attention and care, even if all it takes is a little smile on your face and a hello.\" <\/p>
The teacher never told the class the cleaning lady's name. He did, however, give them a lesson they wouldn't forget. To remember people that they meet, people who help them and are kind to them and clean up after them without complaint. The students would of course eventually learn from this and go on to ask the 60 year old short haired cleaning lady her name. <\/p>
But that is not for you to know. What is for you to know is the names of similar people in your own life. So go forth, for now you know that everyone matters, no matter how small you assign their position in the social ladder to be. <\/p>\n"}]

As a self-confessed (and attested to by friends) social media addict, I've noticed a common theme between myself and my online friend circle who often spend hours debating and talking about various issues online: We are all night owls. <\/p>
Over the last 2 months, I've been struggling to sleep on time and wake up early to take care of my health and get in shape, but it has been incredibly difficult. A quest to understand what exactly is going wrong and a long argument about politics last night on Facebook later, I think I've put my finger on at least one aspect of the problem: Social Media itself. <\/p>
However, in general, the sleeping habits of Indians in urban areas has significantly changed over the years. Growing up in the 90s, 9 PM usually meant preparation to go to sleep. By 10 PM, residential areas used to go silent, the lights off, some residents stretching on the balcony before heading back and falling asleep instantly. It would be grossly unfair and downright wrong of me to blame Social Media for this phenomenon outright, but there has been a definite increase in smartphone activity and its correlation with the destruction of your sleep cycle. <\/p>
After a bit of Google-Fu (Kung-Fu's modern, sunglasses wearing, hip-hop listening brother), I stumbled across multiple articles that confirm my suspicion about the correlation between smartphone usage and sleep deprivation, and further about the impact of social media on sleep cycles. This piece is to talk about the correlation and why we need to go back and sleep normally again, as much of a hypocrite that makes me feel as I type this out. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1504780772695","data":"59b12ff89ec99"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1504780775359","data":"

The information age and outsourcing jobs brought to India the BPO culture. While night duties are a tale as old as time itself, never before has there been such a sizeable chunk of young people that stay up all night to work once they graduate. But that is a story for another article, we will shortly touch upon this point and the reason I brought it up soon. <\/p>
Now, as we've already established, blaming just smartphones for the lack of sleep among the youth of today's generation and the next is, to be honest, not very fair. But most of what is keeping us awake at night has to do with a screen. For me, it is gaming. I spend hours gaming and play DotA or Overwatch late into the night before regretting my decision. For a lot of others, it is smartphones, TV shows and of course the 21st-century drug: Social Media. <\/p>
A report on The Atlantic, which you can read by clicking here<\/a>, laid down the facts of how smartphone addiction is causing sleep deprivation among the young people of today. The article, in no short terms, lays the beat down with well-researched data that basically confirms that the presence of your smartphones near where you sleep, which causes you to itch and check your phone, is hurting your sleep cycle tremendously. On a side note, I highly recommend reading The Atlantic, they're a fantastic publication and some of the best articles I've read are published on the platform. <\/p>Meanwhile, the aforementioned article also links to a YouTube video by Reactions, a channel dedicated to Chemistry. The video speaks about how constantly checking the smartphone might be formulating a complex chemical that is preventing you from sleeping. It's a fantastic watch, and I'll link it below. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1504781734157","data":"mnDfPpUC_jg"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1504781739156","data":"Miscounting Sheep On Social Media: <\/b><\/p>Unless you're like me and spend too much time with your friends online, social media wouldn't play a big role in your sleep deprivation catastrophe.

It was a beauty pageant unlike others. Yes, there was glamour, glitter and a lot of cheering by the crowd who oohed and aahed at every move of the high-heeled divas. Yes, those walking the ramp looked drop-dead gorgeous in their elaborate costumes and gowns. But when Nitasha Biswas of Kolkata was crowned at the end of the evening, the title she received was unlike any other given in this country. She was crowned Miss Trans Queen India 2017, winner of the first beauty pageant for transwomen in the country. <\/p>
In a first of its kind celebration of beauty and gender fluidity in India, 16 transwomen from across India walked the ramp to bag the title on Sunday, August 27. Loiloi Haorongbam from Manipur became the first runner-up, while Ragasiya, representing Tamil Nadu, was the second runner-up. The event was judged by a panel of eight comprising social activists, actors, beauty experts and media professionals.\nWith the line \u201cDon\u2019t be a drag, just be a queen\u201d playing in the background, Miss Trans Queen India was aimed at breaking the stereotype of viewing beauty in binary terms of male and female. Reena Rai, the woman behind the concept and execution of the pageant, said that given the outlook majority Indians have towards transgenders, an event like this becomes important. \u201cWhen I first decided to do this, I got a lot of criticism from all corners. People called me all sorts of things and questioned my sexuality and gender. They said I am a transwoman, a lesbian, a bisexual, and that is why I\u2019m doing this,\u201d she told.\nBiswas is currently pursuing Masters in Business Management. \u201cMy journey was not easy. I feel very privileged to be where I am today and knowing so much of struggles and hardships that I\u2019ve gone through,\u201d she said with pride, adding, \u201cThis is a very big responsibility and I would like to focus on transgender women rather than focusing on rights. I never wanted rights. I always wanted to empower our system and our community because that\u2019s what is needed\u201d. Biswas wants to work for education of transwomen and says society collectively needs to pitch in for this community. \u201cMany transgender women are going through a lot of molestation, pain, lack of family support. They are getting into sex work. So, it is time that every sector of the society needs to come out and help this community for its betterment.\u201dThe 26-year-old will represent India at the Miss International TransQueen in Thailand, one of the most prestigious international pageants for the transgender community, in March 2018\n<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1504695111245","data":"59afd4382f818"}]
'Give me liberty or give me death' said Patrick Henry in 1775. <\/p>
Dissent, in the simplest form, is holding opinions that are often different from the generally accepted norm. In the simplest sense, it is going against the grain and popularly held belief. Therefore, the Right to Dissent then becomes essential for any country that wants to call itself a democracy, for a democracy is for the people, by the people and of the people. And people are different, even unique in many cases. <\/p>
The Right to Dissent is one of the most important pillars of a functioning democracy. Not only does it protect those whose opinions are different from your own, it also guarantees them the same rights as everyone else in the country. Which brings us to the current state of 'democracy' in India, where words are met with bullets. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1504692627024","data":"59afcc4ede6e9"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1504692632569","data":"
At around 8:15 PM yesterday night, noted journalist and a vocal critic of Hindutva politics, BJP and the RSS, Gauri Lankesh was shot 4 times and murdered in cold blood. Logic would tell you that the murderer could have been anyone but considering the history of her work and her vocal criticism of the current ruling right wing, and the fact that she was preparing for a retrial against the corrupt ministers who had forced a defamation suit against her late last year, it becomes increasingly difficult to believe that this wasn't a political murder. But this piece is not about pointing fingers and blaming one side. <\/p>
No, this article is to celebrate the values for which she stood for, primarily the right to dissent. \"The Right to Dissent is being threatened,\" she said to The Indian Express in November of 2016, right after she was sentenced by a magistrate court for merely carrying an article critical of two BJP leaders. She went on to say that she wasn't worried about the judicial proceedings. But, what exactly did she mean by the right to dissent being under threat?<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1504693302133","data":"59afd37aef450"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1504693303982","data":"
Violence for words: <\/b><\/p>
I have a little experiment. It'll be easier if you're a woman who is somewhat fairly active on social media. Simply go to a Facebook news page and comment something critical about the current government, then simply wait for a few hours. Chances are you'll end up getting messages from men calling you the most disgusting of things. <\/p>
They will resort to whataboutery, sexism, rape threats, murder threats and more, just to shut you up for a grave crime you've apparently committed. That crime is having a different opinion than the rest of the herd, or something that is not commonly accepted. Of course, if you're a woman, how dare you even voice your opinion? These men will make it a point to tell you that. <\/p>
We live in a country that refused to hold the government responsible for total administrative failure in Gorakhpur's BRD Hospital, instead, they merely found a scapegoat to blame and swept it under the rug. We live in a country where public lynchings are justified by common people, educated people who have grown up in privilege. We live in a country where we let people murder in the name of the cow. <\/p>
So does it really surprise you that these men, men who only know how to defend their baseless beliefs with violence, will resort to even more violence in response to words? The written word should be met with the written word, not with threats of violence that are then carried out. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1504693975495","data":"59afd3aab546a"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1504693977654","data":"
The Right to Dissent: <\/b><\/p>
Which brings us back to The Right to Dissent. A democracy is nothing if it does not allow its people to criticise it openly and willingly. A democracy is a sham if the people in it are afraid to speak out against the abuses of power of the government, and it doesn't matter which government is in power, whether the right or the left. Both wings have shown their penchant for authoritarianism around the world, but as of now, we are dangerously close to becoming a right wing authoritarian state, which is why it is imperative for us to protect our democratic institutions. <\/p>
This is where you, the student, comes in. You will inherit this country when you become citizens tomorrow. You will become voters, job holders, entrepreneurs, parents. Ask yourself if you really want a future where you can never question your elected leaders. Ask yourself if someone should lose their life for speaking against the establishment. <\/p>
stuMagz is not a platform for political writings, and yet, I'm writing this here for one purpose: students need to know. They need to know that as citizens of this country, it is their right to question everything the government does. It is their right to call out the hypocrisy of any ruling government or person and question them on the issues of policy. It is your right, and you need to protect it before it is lost. <\/p>
Gauri Lankesh's murder will not be forgotten. While the average Indian's confidence in the Police Force is a matter of comedy for our movies, expecting justice itself might just be a fool's errand. The similar murders of anti-establishment rationalists over the years remain unsolved, after all. I can only wonder if the perpetrators think this one murder will buy them the silence of thousands, while there are millions of others who are 'too cool for politics.'<\/p>
Don't be afraid of what happened to Gauri Lankesh. Instead, be angry. Use that anger, and fight back. This country needs more rational people than those who celebrate the her murder, and they are indeed doing that. I suppose the political affiliations of those celebrating Lankesh's murder are also a mere coincidence. <\/p>
A democracy without a dissenter is impossible. So if you're the type of person that is privileged enough to ignore the politics around you, it is time to wake up. Because by the time you have something to say, it might be too late and there will be nobody left to speak for you. <\/p>"}]
BLACK HOLES as they are known is a strange place in the universe where things fail out to behave the way they should. It's a place where every single law of physics fails right from gravity to the speed of light. It is that small place in the universe where the gravity is so mad and strange that nothing can escape its pull, not even light. It is somewhere where infinite gravity can be experienced. And this property of absorbing light is the reason for its name BLACK HOLES, because of the absence of light, they are not visible. <\/p>
\nHOW ARE THESE GAINT MONSTERS FORMED??<\/i> <\/p>
They are mostly an outcome of a dying star. Every star in the universe has it's own nuclear engine i.e there are some nuclear reactions occuring in its core. A star has two forces one is due to nuclear reactions pushing energy outside and other is gravity pulling in out of which the nuclear power wins. But when the nuclear fuel dies out, gravity gets upper hand and the star collapses. Its total mass is collapsed and enormous energy is created during the process which explodes as a SUPERNOVA. And it releases a tremendous amount of energy, is something which the sun would emit in its entire lifetime. And this emission is called \"GAMMA RAYS \". These rays are so powerful that they can fry anything in its way.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1504593912096","data":"59ae95bd5c5e7"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1504593924686","data":"
Bigger the mass of the star, more massive and powerful is the blackhole. The biggest blackhole ever found is the one at the centre of the galaxy, the NGC 1277. It has a mass equal to 17 million suns. Let us take a moment to stop and think about that line. The Sun itself is a massive and heavy object in space and this blackhole is not only massive, its mass is equal to 17 million suns. Just thinking about that makes me feel insignificant. <\/p>
It is also believed that every galaxy has a black hole at centre. IF PLANETS REVOLVED ROUND THE SUN , WHOM DID THE SUN REVOLVE AROUND???<\/i><\/p>
And the research for this answer proved that there was a black hole at the centre of the milky way.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1504593981480","data":"59ae95ff6b583"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1504593997472","data":"
When a star collapses with a burst, it releases a supernova and alongside most of its mass is compressed in a space of about 20Km in diameter full of neutrons. The mass becomes so dense at the centre that gravity takes over and a black hole is formed. The power of the black hole is such that nothing can escape its pull, NOT SPACE, NOT LIGHT AND NOT EVEN TIME! <\/i><\/p>
EVENT HORIZON: It's the boundary of the black hole beyond which nothing can escape its gravity. <\/p>
SPAGHETTIFICATION-It is a phenomenon which describes the way objects behave under very strong non-homogeneous gravitational fields. It is the vertical stretching and horizontal compression of objects into long thin shapes.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1504594044241","data":"59ae963ecca6d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1504594062044","data":"
COULD THE SUN EVER TURN INTO A BLACK HOLE? <\/i><\/p>
Black holes are formed from the death of a massive star. Something like the sun could never turn up being a black hole because the sun is too small in terms of mass and size. Even if it becomes a black hole it would have the same gravity as the earth, and as the earth being far away from the sun, it would not affect any planets motion or would not suck in any planets into it.<\/p>
AND WHAT A BLACKHOLE CONSTIUTES OF??<\/i><\/p>
NO IDEA!! This is <\/span>because all the physics laws breakdown at the <\/span>centre of a black hole. <\/span><\/p>"}]
It takes more than education to be a great teacher. The passion,the efforts,the every proverbial extra mile you go and put in every single day,Thank you for everything you have done to make us better people.<\/p>\n
They are the one's who ignite our imaginations,inspires the hope and instil the love of learning. We may have many experiences but they are the one's who gives us right way to our experience. They have inspired us to reach beyond our horizons.\n \nA child is shaped by the mind of the teacher. It may have annoyed you when they chided you or coaxed you but, when you look back you tend to realise that it was all worth.<\/p>\n
No amount of thanks could be enough for all the hard work and efforts they have put in,to educate us and ultimately make this world a better place.<\/p>\n
