Five minutes into the conversation with Raghunandan Vadla, the author of the book 'The Great Indian Treasure', the passion he brings to his work is nearly physically tangible. The Great Indian Treasure- the first book of the Nation Empowerment series- is the product of a stroke of inspiration and four years of hard work.<\/p>
His book is an effort to showcase the history of India before colonialism in all it's unbridled magnificence as a testimony to what we're capable of. It's an inspiring story of how a group of youngsters travel the country to find a treasure hidden by Ashoka, an emperor of Ancient India, learn about the history of our country and discover the secret that will help India become a developed nation. The story is meant to inspire youngsters to reach their full potential by working on their passion and truly being self-aware. Raghunandan laments the fact that all the human potential in the country going to waste with the youth getting sucked into the rat race and not being able to contribute fully to the growth of the country. This book, which he describes as \"a patriotic fictional book\" is an effort to help change that.<\/p>
The Great Indian Treasure stands out from other books in that it's not just an adventure story that takes you on a wild ride; the facts, the plot and the journey the protagonists go on all seem to conspire to inspire. The reader walks away from this book with a greater understanding of our history and the idea of wanting to do something to help India reclaim its place as the knowledge and cultural hub of the world.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1495183036604","data":"591eaf0c064d0"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1495182771369","data":"
Adding to the authenticity of the message, the inspiration to write the book struck Raghunandan at the Kumbh Mela- the largest human gathering on earth- in 2013. \"The sight of the huge masses of people there made me truly realise for the first time the true extent of the human potential in our country\" he says, explaining the seeds of the story were sown. Following what he preaches, he decided to quit his job and dedicate himself to his passion. A long period of struggle and hard work followed, in which he had to teach himself how to write and deal with publishing woes. He finally got to release the book this year as part of the International Antarctic Expedition- 2017, with it being the first Indian book to be released in Antarctica. \n\n<\/p>"}]

Have you ever heard about harassment against girls?<\/p>
That what shall we do to stop such violence caused to girls?<\/p>
All over the world...Girls face mocking and aggression on a regular life basis.It is affecting their mental and physical health.Teasing with words,torturing are the common incidents we see around.In most of the cases women can't dare to feel free with others.We watch on T.V and read in newspapers about the violation of child and women rights.<\/p>
Girls and women should be aware of the laws that are meant for their protection.Is there any way for the girls to express their hitches and at the same time protect them?WHY NOT...First of all there is a need to change the world's attitude which skeptically affects the overall development of women.A confident and free life can be fitted by the government by implementing proper laws.<\/p>
Our country is one of the 191 countries which have signed UNO proposed international children's charter...These rights are related to each and every child without any injustice.The most appropriate measures against women in the matters of marriages and family are undertaken by the government.Men and women shall possess equal rights in the matters of family and management.<\/p>

'C', a basic programming language taught at every engineering college as a foundation course. I met a bunch of students in the last semester during a certification course at an engineering college, and asked them about 'C'. I got very interesting answers from them, and Ha Ha, you can guess it. \"\u0c0e\u0c2a\u0c41\u0c21\u0c4b \u0c1a\u0c26\u0c3f\u0c35\u0c3e\u0c2e\u0c41 \u0c2b\u0c38\u0c4d\u0c1f\u0c4d \u0c07\u0c2f\u0c30\u0c4d \u0c32\u0c4b, \u0c07\u0c2a\u0c41\u0c21\u0c41 \u0c0e\u0c02 \u0c17\u0c41\u0c30\u0c4d\u0c24\u0c41\u0c02\u0c1f\u0c3e\u0c26\u0c3f \u0c2d\u0c2f\u0c4d\u0c2f\u0c3e ?<\/b>\", this is the common answer I use to hear a lot. <\/p>
Do you think, 'C' is a subject ? <\/b><\/p>
The practices in teaching a 'C' programming language should be changed and the faculty should tell the students how it helps the programmer to build a cool stuff, and the significance of learning it. The teaching methodologies should be of more practical and innovative. The faculties should show some use cases to the student group, so that the student's prospective in learning it will be changed. Finally, ATTRACT and TEACH<\/b>. Once they fond of it, they will be with 'C'.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494960441875","data":"591b498742638"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494960467255","data":"

How many of you know, printf() is a pre-defined function? Hope, everyone knows it. What's big deal in that, rite?<\/p>

What's this 19?<\/p>
Any guess? Age of mine (Ha Ha), My Girl Friend Birthday Date (Ha Ha). Just Kidding.<\/p>
19<\/b> is the count value, which talks about the number of characters printed by the printf function on the output screen. It all depends on the argument passed to the printf function. \"Madhu is on Stumagz\", the number of characters in this string are 19 including spaces. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494961272918","data":"591b4cc9179c0"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494961290634","data":"

What can be the output of this program?<\/p>
Output:<\/b> 1<\/p>
Yes, the output is '1'. As the scanf() function is loading only one value, so it returns an integer value '1'. The scanf() function will return the number of '&' written in the function argument, in this case you see only one '&' so the answer is '1'.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494961747866","data":"591b4ea1770b4"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494961764322","data":"

Storing a character value called 'a' in an integer variable, how is that possible?<\/p>
Storing an integer value called 46 in a character variable, how is that possible?<\/p>
It's all about how it get stored, when you are storing a character value 'a' in an integer variable then it's ASCII value will be stored. i.e. why 97 is getting printed on the output shell and in the same way, when you are storing an integer value '46' in a character variable then it's ASCII character will be stored i.e. why '.' is getting printed because '.' ASCII value is 46.<\/p>

It is very clear that we live in a technological world where the future lies in the innovation laid on the species of invention. It\u2019s hard to believe strongly that our desire on innovation is totally changed with global technology trends. <\/p>
Out of which, Internet of Things (IoT) is one which changed our prospective towards life and it is the most leading technology in the world. This game changing technology has rapidly entered into all different verticals like Automobiles, Health Care, Smart Cities, Transportation, Renewable Energy, Security, Agriculture etc.\u2026 in order to improve the performance of the solutions given in each industry. <\/p>
IoT is the one largest entity which can transform our lives, our society by connecting it to the real things which are informative. IoT is widely popular in all industries for its speed development, portability, reliability and fast scientific research. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494866671287","data":"5919db3daa79d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494866707739","data":"
According to the report from MarketResearch.com, it is very clear that Internet of Things (IoT) will generate a market of 120$ billion by 2020 over health-care. In this industry, IoT has a great scope in analyzing the patient data based on the sensory networks. It creates a bridge between a doctor and the patient in a more smart way, there by the health can be reached to all the places around the world. <\/p>

There were different points in which IoT transforms the health-care industry: <\/p>
\n1.\tRemote Monitoring:<\/b> This is the major advantage in this technology where anyone can monitor the patient from anywhere across the globe. IoT devices will be having an ability to test and also to diagnose the patient from a remote place. For example, a doctor can talk about the patient\u2019s problem by going through the data which is being monitored and visualized by the IoT device through a simple cloud interface. <\/p>
2.\tInstrumentation:<\/b> In health-care, the cost of devices at hospitals will be huge and individual patients can\u2019t afford the cost like hospitals. But, the IoT devices can be designed and developed at low cost and can serve the problem directly. Most of the devices are connected over cloud, then the monitoring by the doctors will be simple and which directly solves the present main problem. \n <\/p>
3.\tCloud Storage: <\/b>In health-care, reports play a vital role in giving treatments for many patients and the transferring reports from one hospital to other is also being complicated for better treatment. In Internet of Things (IoT), all the reports are being stored in the cloud so that any doctor from any place can easily drag and drop the patients\u2019 records. <\/p>
4.\tDevices Talk with Intelligence:<\/b> IoT cloud is equipped with an intelligence where it can be able to send notifications based on the records which are being stored. When some machine learning algorithms are dumped into the cloud for analysis, then the cloud can act as a Super Doctor at rural areas for consultations. There, by SMART is the new BOLD step in Health-care.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494867031039","data":"
And, also there are some problems where the patient data should be very confidential and the privacy is ultimate concern while uploading data to cloud. The health care organizations must also be able to track and identify malicious attempt on IoT devices. <\/p>
While installing the IoT devices, the healthcare organizations should have a legal agreement with vendors for the data security and encryption. There should be some valid authorized authentications for the data records of the patients at cloud end so that one can avoid unauthorized access. <\/p>
Beyond that, it\u2019s very easy to understand that there were too many advantages by installing IoT devices for the patients to make their lives better and smarter. As health is important parameter for one\u2019s lives, so a special care should be taken by the IoT vendors and also by the health-care organizations. The main challenge now is to develop huge number of IoT devices which should be accurate, adaptable, portable and of low cost with confidential and reliable of holding patient data.\n <\/p>

Hyderabad has one of the best bus services in the country but the number of buses, their connectivity and the convenience doesn't make up for the lack of sufficient number of bus shelters in the city. Prashant Lingam, co-founder of Bamboo House India, came up with an interesting solution to solve this issue under their Recycle India initiative. They built a bus shelter in Swaroopnagar Colony, Uppal, just out of disposed water bottles.<\/p>
\"We first built an office room out of old bottles in 2014 and we started recycling then. We reused the bottles to build the room and then we re-reused the same bottles later to build a water tank, which we are still using now. We got the know-how of using bottles then and when we noticed that the bus stop in our area didn't have a shelter and that's how we got the idea of building the bus shelter,\" explains Prashant, who facilitated the building of the 8x4 bus shelter there.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1495107149762","data":"591d86a7948c8"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1495091731449","data":"
This project required 1500 bottles at a cost of Rs. 1.40 for every bottle. Overall, including the metal frame and the cement work involved, the bus shelter costed Rs. 15000 to build and once they built it, it turned out to be way better than what the team actually expected. \"There is a bamboo bush behind the wall behind the shelter and the leaves of that grew over the shelter and gave a nice shade that we didn't expect. The gaps between the bottles allow for a free flow of air and this cools the shelter more. It's way cooler than what we thought it would be,\" he shares.<\/p>
They got noticed by the government and the municipal official who visited the place, gave them permission to extend the shelter a little more, to accommodate the constantly growing number of people who are now happily using the shelter. \"It's great that this is being used by so many people but we want to do it at atleast one prime location in the city. Right now, only people with access to digital media are using it and we want to take it to everyone. That's why we are now trying to get permissions to build such a shelter at a prime location. It will also benefit the government a lot as these shelters cost a fraction of what it costs to build the usual shelters,\" he says, adding, \"We also want to build 100 shelters across the city and we hope we get the necessary support from the government.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1495107179910","data":"591d86bd38ebe"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1495106492397","data":"
Building shelters and recycling is not all that they want to do. Prashant and his team want to sensitise people and create awareness on the need for recycling and the benefits of recycling, as he explains,\"We have learnt a lot by improvising and experimenting. Now we want to teach people how to utilise scrap for a good purpose. I mean, if we could build a shelter with just a bunch of bottles, the sky is the limit. And that is the reason we want to start sensitising students in schools and colleges; because if they are aware at a young age, it'll be better for the world when they grow up,\" and adds, \"We will also make our plans and models open source on our website. Anyone with just an interest in recycling and building things can take the plans from our website and do it. We want it to spread.\"<\/p>"}]
These days, the usage of technology is rapidly growing with immense inputs. In health-care, one of the finest product built on technology is \"A Smart Medication Box\". The main idea behind this box is to intimate the patients\/old age people when to take medicine and what kind of medicine they have to take. <\/p>

Examination times are always a crucial yet a stressful time of our lives. When an examination commences we look forward for it to end so as to celebrate what we teenagers call 'independence day' i.e freedom from examination. And so the fun begins. We can't wait the eagerness and excitement of returning back the answer sheet of the last exam and when the bell rings we scram out of the class celebrating.<\/p>
A few tips on how to spend this semester break wisely. Not all semester breaks are long. Some are short and yet really sweet. Some are rather long and frivolous. So, this semester break I intend to lurk upon the NGO I volunteer with i.e Adore India. By helping out the needy and providing them with the basic need of education as there is a lack of it in rural areas. Girls need it more than ever as per the rising rate of crime. So, they need to be taught some self defense moves made by my team.So, why not enjoy some good old teaching.<\/p>
Secondly, go out on an adventure. Who doesn't like adventure? Especially for the thrill of it. Throw away your phone and go have some fun. Go to a place where you don't know. Mingle with the folks, try out their cuisine, what they're made of, the forests, the affinity towards nature shall just increase by just witnessing the true natures beauty. Instead of spending time frolicking on social medias and gossiping on messengers , here's an escape to the world of your dreams, bring out the 'wanderlust' in you as many of you might have it as a major tagline on your instagram account. Bring out the 'fernweh' in you.<\/p>
Thirdly, inculcate your knowledge by being an active member in your nearby library. Go on and check out the recent arrivals or the best sellers. Sometimes if you're in luck they'll have all the good collections in store for you. <\/p>
Why be a couch potato and waste your perfectly good semester break by doing nothing? Instead get a planner now and think about what you want to do after your examinations. So, that the memories created are worth living for and also pictures are worth a thousand words.<\/p>"}]
