Yes exams are showing up, but it doesn't mean you get tensed and anxious about it and spoil everything.\nThere will always be a solution for every problem. So yes even this does have a solution.\n\nHere are a few tips for you so that you clear your exams peacefully. <\/p>
<\/p>
1. Firstly, you need to be calm and learn not to overthink about everything in life. Just go with the flow. Study as much as you can, but do not over study it will only make you forget everything you have studied till then. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1542705386022","data":"5bf3d241dc6a1"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1542705386019","data":"
2. Next, do NOT be dependent on anyone else as in thinking that they will study and will help you out in the examination. Human beings nature is selfish, nobody thinks about anyone else above them. So help yourself by studying efficiently.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1542705386023","data":"5bf3d3af36681"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1542705386020","data":"
3. And most importantly do not keep referring to different textbooks, it will only confuse you but not do you any good. So stick to one textbook which you feel has all the information and you can understand it in a simple way. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1542705386024","data":"5bf3d50830825"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1542705386021","data":"
4. The last thing you would wish for is that you forget everything that you have studied only because you panicked at the end moment, so do not panic, be calm and have a peaceful mind before appearing for an exam. <\/p>
\n I hope these will help you out during your examinations and master it with amazing scores.\n\nGood Luck!<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1542705386025","data":"5bf3d56199bda"}]
I don't know about you guys, but being born in the early 90s, I was privileged enough to watch some of the greatest Sachin moments live on TV (and sometimes in the stadium), and lucky enough to see him go from a devastating batsman to a legend. I grew up with his legend, his legend being the legend of Indian cricket, the number of people he's inspired, and the sheer amount of skill and style he possesses. <\/p>
Frankly there aren't novels I'm not willing to write for this man, and I frankly believe we are all lucky to be in the same era as the one where we got to see Sachin set the stadium on fire. So without further ado, let's take a look at his greatest moments.<\/p>
1. The Desert Storm<\/b><\/p>
India were facing the Australian side that was out for their blood, looking for the first sign to close in and finish the job in a match at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The Aussies had hit a mind numbing 284 (come on guys it was still 1998), and put the pressure on the Indian side who not only needed to win the match, but also keep a decent run rate. <\/p>
In walked Sachin Tendulkar in what would be the match that made him immortal. On that day, the Aussies saw the full wrath of Sachin's devastating batting. The wickets kept falling but the Bomber from Bombay did not falter, instead he stood tall, hitting the balls out of the park whenever and wherever he could. <\/p>
Sachin went on to score 143, his momentum not breaking despite a literal desert storm interrupting the match. Shane Warne went on to joke that Sachin's batting on that day still gives him nightmares. <\/p>
Imagine watching this as a 7 year old child. It was magic on Television, it was like watching all your favourite cartoons come to life, only this was real, and was some of the finest cricket in the sport's history.<\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1556023570261","data":"aMubYAbRbgc"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1556023570262","data":"
2. Demolition at Centurion <\/b><\/p>
The year was 2003, the World Cup's 36th match was slotted for March 1st, 2003, against arch rivals India and Pakistan. The stage was set, as it is with any match up with India and Paksitan, and the nation watched holding their breaths. <\/p>
Pakistan back then had a lethal bowling line up, helmed by fast bowler Shoaib 'Rawalpindi Express' Akhtar, a bowler that has given even the most skilled batsmen a run for their money. But even he couldn't do anything against the Master Blaster, as Sachin hit boundary after boundary, scoring 98 runs in 75 balls, to deafening roars from the crowds cheering him on. It was one of Sachin's finest moments, pure class cricket and a treat to fans. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1556023570263","data":"FSowqKwZL7E"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1556023570264","data":"
3. First To Score A Double Century In ODI<\/b> <\/p>
The turn of the decade saw many players smash the 200 runs milestone, but the first one to ever do so was none other than the Little Master himself, on February 24, 2010 in Gawilor, against the South African side, and what a blitzkrieg that was. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1556023570270","data":"oWpLa9yPb3A"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1556023570266","data":"
4. Sachin's first match as an opener<\/b> <\/p>
March 27, 1994 is a special day to anyone who calls themselves a cricket lover, as it was the first time we saw Sachin's devastating batting as an opener for the very first time. Having debuted in 1989, it wasn't until 1994 when he opened, after Azharuddin decided to let him open, seeing potential in the young batsman, against New Zealand in Auckland. <\/p>
That one decision changed the history of cricket forever, as Sachin hit a smashing 82 of 49 balls, kick starting his legend. Sachin has since then always opened for Team India. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1556023570267","data":"WfXtkwv2WS8"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1556023570268","data":"
5. The 2011 World Cup Final<\/b> <\/p>
It was the day India wept, for it was the final match Sachin would play in his ODI career. Mahendra Singh Dhoni had no qualms about talking about how the world cup win was for The God of Cricket Himself, and the emotion, the adrenaline we felt as we watched it unfold, the speech at the end, and the happiness on everyone's faces, it was a day that will not be forgotten as long as there are cricket fans in the world. It was a magical moment, after a career spanning 21 years, 6 World Cups and 635 matches in all forms of the game, the victory lap after the electrifying 2011 World Cup final was pure magic. <\/p>
Kapil Dev broke down on live TV, overwhelmed with emotion, everywhere on the streets, Indians celebrated a legendary story in making, people were out on the streets, hugging, dancing and smiling from ear to ear. On that day, we were all Indian. Identity did not matter, what mattered was the twinkle in your eye and the smile on your lips, something we all could use more of in this day and age. <\/p>
What a match it was. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1556023570269","data":"mnN_UPCpWhg"}]

Sitting in the corner of the balcony on a Saturday afternoon as it is raining heavily. This rain has some connection with me, maybe with you too. When it starts raining, mixed feelings gobble up inside us.<\/p>
Some feel happy, some feel gloomy, some feel excited and smell the wet sand while some are frightened by the thunders and lightening. Some cry in the rain and some dance in the rain, some just stands still and get drizzled while some make hot chocolate and cuddle with loved ones.<\/p>
The relationship I share with the rain feels like meeting an old bestfriend from long time. It gives me nostalgic feelings when I see it. It reminds me my childhood, friends , family, memories I made, mistakes I did, people I met and lessons I've learned. It's like an imaginary bestfriend who stands beside you and listen to what you say. Thanks for your presence where it can't be replaced by anyone!<\/p>
You make me feel happy and say its okay! \"Life is like a rollercoaster just enjoy the ride and get down when you reach your destination\". Please come back soon to hear some more updates from me. Till then, will be waiting for you.<\/p>"}]

HACKATHON:<\/u><\/b><\/p>
A hackathon is a design sprint-like event in which computer programmers and others are involved in software development.The goal of a hackathon is to create usable software or hardware with the goal of creating a functioning product by the end of the event.<\/p>
The team of St. Pious the X Degree & PG College who won the Hackathon competition consisted of 8 members <\/p>
1.\tHarsha Thette <\/p>
2.\tAishwarya Sebastian<\/p>
3.\tSantoshi Sai <\/p>
4.\tRitisha Deshpande<\/p>

\"It all started in January 2019. One fine day one of our Biochemistry department lecturer (Padmini ma'am) informed us about the hackathon competition 2019. \nThen we found a fitting solution to the problem statement which was Predictive Analysis to prevent damage of pharmaceutical <\/u>equipment<\/u>, which came under Emcure Pharmaceutical company\" says Aishwarya a of the member of the winning team.\n<\/p>
Description of the idea that won them the award <\/b><\/u><\/p>
Many Pharmaceutical companies face a set of problems and one of the major ones is occurrence of sudden or unexpected damage in the commonly used machines in the industries such as agitators. Hence their team MACHINERY HOROSCOPE have come up with a solution to this problem. <\/p>
They have used IoT based communication to detect these sudden damages beforehand using sensors which considers the threshold values of a set of parameters i.e. temperature, pressure, vibration and voltage of a particular machine used in the industry. \n<\/p>
The set of data collected by these sensors of different parameters is being transferred to an IoT component (WeMOS D1 MINI)and this data is converted into displayable form which is numerical in order. This numerical values of all the parameters are updated in the App and the notifier of the App produce a notification when there is a difference in the threshold values.\n<\/p>
Talking about their journey after that <\/u><\/b><\/i><\/p>
\u201cAfter we have submitted the idea, we received a mail stating that we have been selected for the finale round and that we had to go all over to Mumbai to represent the idea. With lot of discussions and day to day classes with our mentors on the idea, we became even more confident about our solution. Then we sent a confirmation email to the SIH website stating that our team will be present in Mumbai to continue our Hackathon finale Journey.<\/p>
The Hackathon center given to us was Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research, Dadar, Mumbai. The institute infrastructure was mind blowing and impressive and we even interacted with few students there. \nOn the first day 2nd of March 2019 there was a welcoming session by the Principal of the Institute and other coordinators and student coordinators. Then we had a video chat with respected Sir Prakash Javadekarthe incumbent Union Minister of Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India. After the salutation we started with our first \u201cHacking\u201d day. The participants were given respective tables with our team name mentioned and even coolers were provided as it was conducted on the roof top of the institute. We were provided with timely food and short snack breaks.<\/p>
There was judging round 1 on the first day for which we explained the problem statement and our solution to it. We were given feed backs on our solution, on which we worked on till the next day morning 6am. . There was also a video chat with Prime Minister Narendra Modi that night where he interacted with hackathon participants from different centres. During the midnight hours we had zumba dancing to keep us active throughout the night, we were also provided with sleep rooms to take short power naps. \nWe worked continuously for hours on our solution overnight. Our mentors worked really hard on the programing part and continuously kept us motivated. <\/p>
On 3rd March morning we had our breakfast after our overnight working hours and continued coding. The second and final judging round were conducted and the judges analysed our solution, explanation, the product design etc.\nAfter the evaluation the ending ceremony began and the results of the Hackathon competition 2019 were announced. Our team name along with our college name was called out as we won the inspirational award. We were awarded with a cheque of 5000\/-, along with a memento and certificates. We could really feel butterflies in our stomach when we were called out for the award, it was the best moment in this whole trip and also unforgettable. <\/p>
On the day when we got selected for hackathon, we didn\u2019t expect that we would actually go to Mumbai but our zeal to complete what we started kept us going forward and all the encouragement from our beloved principal and lecturers, paved our way to a joyful success\u201d.<\/p>

\"I remember once being taught,to put boundaries on my imagination.<\/p>
To never paint the land pink,to never draw a balloon lacking inflation.<\/p>
They always said to hope for love and peace,but refused to pile the weapons no more.<\/p>
Did they but forget Buddha's words:when there'll be no army, there's no war!<\/p>
They said me to bear a tender patience,but my hope always ends in vain.<\/p>
When the rainbow refuses to smile upon us,inspite of enduring all this thunder and rain.<\/p>
They always adviced me to keep walking,but what if it's the wrong direction?<\/p>
'Cause they said all humans are our brothers,but still discriminated us based on complexion.<\/p>
They finally broke the long lasting taboo and,painted my beautiful green lands, red.<\/p>
They told others that peace is the goal,no matter the living who are probably, by now dead.<\/p>
I dreadfully await the much awaited sunny days,when this unbearable pain and tears will cease.<\/p>

Unless you're working in slave camps, you too have the luxury of having two days off every week from the eternal running race that is work life. Of course, since most of you are students, you still have some trouble grasping this concept because for some odd reason, educational institutes in India firmly believe that a student does not deserve a life outside of the college and also put classes on a Saturday. But that is a topic for another day. <\/p>
Having 2 days off every week is quite important, I'd say, because it allows you to appropriately slow and and take care of yourself before you can tackle another week full of irritating work obligations. I mean, Friday nights are for unwinding and partying, Saturday is for even more partying and hanging out with your friends, but then there is Sunday.

Economist, educationist and the chief architect of the Indian Constitution, Ambedkar fought all his life to remove discrimination, degradation and deprivation from the society, a fight that continues to this day despite the man himself believing it would be gone in a decade or so. Discrimination, sadly, is more pervasive than that. Just goes on to show that even great men like him can be wrong sometimes. <\/p>
Apart from being just the Father of our Constitution, Dr. BR Ambedkar donned multiple hats. Here's a few things you should know about him. <\/p>
1. What's In A Name?<\/b> <\/p>
Ambedkar's original surname was Ambavadekar (derived from the name of his native village \u2018Ambavade\u2019 in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra). It was his teacher, Mahadev Ambedkar who changed his surname from \u2018Ambavadekar\u2019 to his own surname \u2018Ambedkar\u2019 in school records as he was very fond of him.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1555152039493","data":"5ac4705983fd7"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1555152039494","data":"

Not only in Ambedkar the first Indian to pursue an Economics doctorate degree abroad, he is also the first Ph.D in Economics and the first double doctorate holder in Economics in South Asia. He was also among the highest educated Indians of his generation.<\/p>
During his three years at Columbia University, Ambedkar took twenty nine courses in economics, eleven in history, six in sociology, five in philosophy, four in anthropology, three in politics and one each in elementary French and German!<\/p>
It is worth noting that when Ambedkar returned from Columbia University, he was immediately discriminated upon once again by caste Hindus. Imagine going abroad, being treated as the intellectual powerhouse he was and then coming home and being told by caste Hindus that he was an untouchable. People to this day do not get this kind of discrimination and whine about reservations when they do not understand the pervasive forms it took for over 2000 years. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1555152039495","data":"5ac470e888e15"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1555152039496","data":"
3. The Bank of the Nation: <\/b> <\/p>
Reserve Bank of India was conceptualised according to the guidelines presented by Ambedkar to the Hilton Young Commission (also known as Royal Commission on Indian Currency and Finance) in his book, The Problem of the Rupee \u2013 Its Origin and Its Solution.<\/p>
Ambedkar also knew that the problem of the rupee is eventually linked to the problem of domestic inflation. In the preface to the book version of his thesis, he pointed out: \u201c\u2026nothing will stabilize the rupee unless we stabilize its general purchasing power\u201d.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1555152039497","data":"5ac47118ea660"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1555152039498","data":"
4. Changing working hours: <\/b> <\/p>
As the member for labour in the viceroy\u2019s council from 1942 to 1946, Dr Ambedkar was instrumental in bringing about several labour reforms. He changed the working hours from 12 hours to 8 hours in the 7th session of Indian Labour Conference in New Delhi in November 1942.<\/p>
He also introduced several measures for workers like dearness allowance, leave benefit, employee insurance, medical leave, equal pay for equal work, minimum wages and periodic revision of scale of pay. He also strengthened trade unions and established employment exchanges across India. Imagine working 12-14 hours a day as a default, we can thank Dr. Ambedkar for giving workers their rights. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1555152039499","data":"5ac471c96caf0"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1555152039500","data":"
5. Championing Women's Rights: <\/b> <\/p>
Ambedkar resigned from his post of the first law minister of India when the comprehensive Hindu Code Bill was dropped by the Indian parliament. The bill had two main purposes \u2013 first, to elevate the social status of Hindu women by giving them their due rights and second, to abrogate social disparities and caste inequalities. He went on to say, \"I measure the progress of community by the degree of progress which women had achieved. Let every girl who marries stand by her husband, claim to be her husband\u2019s friend and equal, and refuse to be his slave. I am sure if you follow this advice, you will bring honour and glory to yourselves.\"<\/p>
So today, if women have the right to inherit family property, the right to end a marriage and the right to marry intercaste, it is thanks to Dr. BR Ambedkar's tireless efforts. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1555152039501","data":"5ac4723d9b9f8"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1555152039502","data":"
So there you have it. To be honest, there are a lot of things about this tremendously interesting man that need to be documented, but before you read that, I would strongly encourage you to read Annihilation of Caste written by him. It is one of the most significant books in understanding caste discrimination and why it must be eliminated forever. <\/p>"}]
