Being a woman in rural Haryana is a tough break, age old gender norms are enforced in almost all of India's rural areas and often, in urban areas too. The state is famous for producing tough as nails wrestlers who have time and again represented us internationally. Mahavir Singh Phogat, who grew up in rural Haryana, was no different, accepting the set gender norms of his society, he never really thought women could go on to become wrestlers, but the difference between him and the rest of the society is that he learned, Mahavir Singh Phogat proved that change is the only constant in life, and changed his views. <\/p>

Geeta and Babita Singh Phogat's training began when Mahavir Singh watched in, we speculate, awe and amazement as Karnam Malleshwari went on to become the first Indian woman to clinch a bronze medal in Weightlifting at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. Mahavir Singh, who had until then been disappointed that he had fathered four girls, shifted gears into thinking that if Malleshwari could do win a medal, so could his daughters. Until this incident, Mahavir Singh often lamented the fact that he didn't have a son, as he wanted his son to win a gold medal for India in wrestling. <\/p>
Not long after the Olympics, he build a wrestling ring for his daughters to practice in, and due to the age of his two youngest daughters, he chose the eldest two, Geeta Singh and Babita Singh and put them to the task, training them and making them fight their cousins, the daughters of his brother.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1482405807635","data":"585bb9ce80fd9"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1482406322566","data":"

Their adventures led to improvement in the gender ratio of Haryana, a state that was severely affected by the gender gap disparity, with families viewing the girl child more favorably than before, and in 2010, Geeta Singh Phogat gave them a reason to remember why the girl child was just as important as the boy. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1482407239707","data":"585bbdb17d543"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1482407310723","data":"

\"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.\" is a famous line from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and is referenced so much that it is perhaps the most popular cliche, universally. A couple of days ago, Kareena Kapoor gave birth to a baby boy and named him Taimur, after the 14th century conqueror Taimur. Since then, she and her husband, Saif Ali Khan; are being trolled and bashed extensively on Twitter, with tweets like:<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1482390907038","data":"585b7da798019"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1482390902598","data":"585b7dc409f08"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1482391016812","data":"

What's in a name? Really... Hitler, Stalin, Alexander, Akbar, Krishna Deva Raya, Shivaji, Chandragupta Maurya, everyone started\/took part in or involved themselves in wars in some way or the other. The cause differed in each case but all these were conquerors in their own way. Hitler wanted world domination, so did Alexander. Stalin had his fair share of brutality. <\/p>
There are many people of different religions in our country who proudly name their child after Alexander (Sikandar is the Indianised name for Alexander). So is Kareena Kapoor's son's name itself that is making everyone freak out or is there some other aspect?<\/p>
As per this logic, people shouldn't name their child a lot of things, like Mukesh (prime accused in the Nirbhaya rape case), Rajendra (the underworld gangster Chhota Rajan), Dawood (I need not explain this) and more. <\/p>
Nevertheless, they're just a couple who decided to name their child something. While I am not standing by them or supporting their choice of name, I am just saying the choice is theirs to make.<\/p>

Srinivasa Ramanujan Iyengar is an inspiration to students from all walks of life, because he rose from nothing to become one of the greatest mathematical minds in the field, contributing heavily to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Even with no formal training in pure mathematics, Ramanujan's story is of passion and perseverance to achieve one's goals. On his birthday, today, December 22nd, we celebrate National Mathematics Day. Let us take a look at the life of this enigmatic man who fought tooth and nail for his love of mathematics.<\/p>
1. He had humble beginnings<\/b><\/p>
Srinivasa was born <\/b>in Erode, situated in Tamil Nadu, to a Clerk\/cloth merchant father and a mother who used to sing at the local temple, and was mostly a homemaker. The house his family moved to in Kumbakonam after his birth is now a monument, called the Srinivasa Ramanujan International Monument.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1482320176386","data":"585a69fc5f974"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1482317758008","data":"
2. He loved mathematics so much, he failed every other subject <\/b><\/p>
When Ramanujan was in school, he became obsessed with mathematics, solving complex problems with relative ease right from the age of 11, but it wasn't until he was 16 years old, when his friend gifted him a copy of A Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure and Applied Mathematics by G. S. Carr, that his true genius was awakened. Or so say the historians that have studied his life. Ramanujan even ran away from home for his quest of mathematics, enrolling in a different college to pursue his interest and performed poorly in the other subjects, making next to no money and often being on the brink of starvation. His life changed when he met the founder of the Indian Mathematical Society, V. Ramaswamy Aiyer, who recognized his genius which then further led to him being identified and included as a researcher in the University of Madras. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1482320178814","data":"585a6a924d9dd"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1482318459136","data":"
3. Ramanujan's work was rejected initially <\/b><\/p>
It is now speculated that the two professors Ramanujan contacted first thought of him as a fraud, since his work was something advanced that they could not believe came from a man who had no formal training in mathematics, this is why they rejected his work without comment and sent the letters back, until the third mathematician, G. H. Hardy, received Ramanujan's work and was so intrigued, he sent for him, asking Ramanujan to come to England at the earliest, and thus Ramanujan would begin the journey that would cement his name in the annals of history. He reached England in the year 1914.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1482320180511","data":"585a6ab029c97"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1482318756383","data":"
4. Ramanujan was a deeply religious man, and credited his findings to the family goddess Mahalaskhmi <\/b><\/p>
Ramanujan once said, \u201cAn equation for me has no meaning, unless it represents a thought of God.\u201d He was a deeply religious man who also remarked that he saw all religions as equal in conversations with G. H. Hardy, who also was surprised by his strict vegetarianism.<\/b><\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1482320182495","data":"585a6af2cba54"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1482319381057","data":"
5. He died at the age of 32, leaving behind a legacy for mathematicians to decode as the years passed. <\/b><\/p>
Ramanujan was plagued with health issues his entire life, after being confined to hospitals and sanatoriums, Ramanujan returned to India in 1919, and died the year after than on the 26th of April, 1920. After his passing, his brother collected all his notes and preserved them, and slowly but surly his genius was recognized by the world in the coming years. Today, India is incredibly proud of his contributions to mathematics, his childhood home has been turned into a monument and his life story was told in a Hollywood movie named The Man Who Knew Infinity.

4.\tPets<\/i><\/b>: It is a proven practice to have pets when people feel low. Pets exude warmth and shower so much love that people tend to recuperate sooner in their presence.<\/p>
\n5.\tNever stop doing things<\/i><\/b>: It is natural to be withdrawn and not having the heart to do things that they once loved doing. But however difficult it might sound, it is advisable to build up all the strength and continue doing things that lead to contentment. <\/p>

Admit it, we have all stood in those never-ending queues at the banks or at the ATMs to get hold of the new currency. The rich and the poor alike had to jostle through the crowd to be a part of the positive step taken in favor of a better India.

Giving it a thought has led to amazing things being unearthed- A digital revolution is taking place all thanks to the demonetization. App based transactions are in, while cash based ones have become pass\u00e9. Download an app and continue your everyday transactions! How simple is that?\n\nYou just need a smart phone to house a wide range of apps. But what about the instances when you actually need hard cash?? Well, some of the students we know have found ways through apps to get that too! <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1482232355051","data":"5859128be1016"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1482232425257","data":"
Like Arjun, who has figured out a life hack through a bakery near his place that gives hard cash and accepts online transfer via apps (exclusive for regulars).\n\nAnother life hack that sounded too good to be true was that a few of our beloved drivers from the cab companies that we rely on every day for our commuting agree to exchange cash with a certain amount via online transfer. <\/p>
Shopping malls too have chipped in to help those in need. Since they have a large inflow of cash each day, they let the shoppers swipe away in glee in exchange of cash. So, the next time you judge people rushing to the malls even at this cash strapped time, who knows, they might be just rushing to get some hard cash. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1482232490013","data":"585912f1a8b8c"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1482232526529","data":"

The news might be all doom and gloom these days but there is still humans who shine brighter than the brightest star in the night sky, here on earth. Today, December 20th, is International Human Solidarity Day, a day where we celebrate the humans who put their own self interest, safety and time aside for their fellow beings. As the hero Samwise Gamgee said to the Ring Bearer Frodo Baggins at the foot of Mount Doom, \"There\u2019s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it\u2019s worth fighting for.\"<\/p>

Vasanth Paul, a Chennai based photographer and model, posted on facebook about his experience late one night when he had stopped his bike on the side of the road to take a break. Paul reported to have heard weak screams for help and jumped immediately to help, and got attacked by 3 men, one of whom used a rope to try and strangle him, creating enough time for the woman to run and grab an auto driver's attention. The driver joined Paul in fighting off the abusers and both Paul and the woman got away without many injuries. Paul ended his facebook post asking his readers to look after one and other, because if you're doing something right, the world will join you. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1482147914166","data":"5857c86fa06bb"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1482148076957","data":"

5. The Hyderabadi cop who helps people who run out of petrol <\/b><\/p>
Let's be honest, cops don't exactly have a good reputation in India, but one traffic cop, Merajuddin Syed, quickly became a local hero as motorists who run out of petrol usually find him close by to help them refill. Syed usually stocks bottles of petrol, sometimes just enough to reach the nearest petrol bunk, and sometimes enough to reach home. He carries at least 6 bottles of petrol in his scooty and always refuses to take money for his help, even when he is insisted. Truly a local hero. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1482150873310","data":"5857d54d7eb3d"}]
