'That's one small step for man,' said Neil Armstrong, as he looked at the Lunar Surface, drew in a breath and became the first human to ever walk the surface of the moon, 'One giant leap for mankind.'<\/p>
The story of humanity landing on the moon is perhaps one of the finest examples of what human endeavour can achieve, and it was at the height of the cold war, with the Soviets and the United States doing their best to outdo each other in who could pull off the impossible first. It also raises the question of how much one can achieve if humanity put its differences aside and come together to make the world a better place. <\/p>
Collaboration, then, is the key for human progress, especially progress in the areas of space research as more and more children looking at the stars grow up to become adults with degrees in science and engineering. It is important, nay, we would say absolutely imperative that collaboration is the need of the hour, humanity needs to come together and work together so that they may not just look at the skies, but also be one of the stars in the vast expanse of nothingness that surrounds our planet. While this idea might not exactly be unique, 27-year old Tushar Sharma decided that he needed to do something about it.<\/p>
The young man took the idea and went on to conceptualize and organise Young Professionals in Space, a mega event scheduled for the 23rd of this month that is bringing together the best minds in Space Exploration and Research together along with students under one roof in Bengaluru. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1510908941935","data":"5a0ea4a1c3da4"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1510826823676","data":"
Let it never be said that ISRO is not inspiring people, for a direct result of such inspiration is the Young Professionals In Space event itself. Speaking to stuMagz over the phone all the way from the United States, Tushar Sharma offered his insights into the beginnings, \"Back in February, ISRO made a new world record by launching 104 satellites in one go,\" he says, referring to the launch of PSLV C-37, \"It was then I thought to myself that I had to do something about this, in this field, as I was always interested in it.\" <\/p>
Tushar, a self-confessed hardware engineering geek, went on to lament the lack of interest of today's engineers in Space Research, \"Space Research is the confluence of all streams of engineering. Every engineering, from software to hardware, is required to work in this field. Collaboration between different branches of engineering and coming together to conquer the final frontier should drive today's students right into Space Research's arms.\" <\/p>
Yet, as Tushar tells us, this is not happening. With Engineering becoming a gateway into an IT job, we agree with Tushar that students are turning away from research and into more comfortable fields. <\/p>
\"The Internet of Things is almost here, 5G is coming, Moore's Law for Microprocessors has been surpassed, it is not that easy to make chips with twice the number of transistors every two years anymore. It is the time that we look back up at the stars and conquer them,\" Tushar says, the zeal in his voice plain to read. <\/p>
So he set about trying to come up with an idea of bringing the best minds in Space Research and students together, so that students may look at the possibilities and dedicate themselves to the field, \"Let's hope for the best,\" he laughs. This was when Young Professionals in Space was born.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1510893684577","data":"5a0e691450697"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1510828546166","data":"
Tushar faced three dilemmas: Location, Logistics and Legendary Speakers. <\/p>
\"We finally decided upon Bangalore because I wanted to do something for my country and also give fellow Indian students something to aim for, aspire to become. We do need all the help we can get,\" he says, speaking about choosing the city of the event, \"and also, ISRO is headquartered in Bangalore, which also influenced the decision process.\" <\/p>
As for the other two issues, Tushar says the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers - popularly known as IEEE - helped immensely, \"Honestly, none of this would have been possible without IEEE,\" Tushar says, \"We went from having an idea to laying down the groundwork and inviting some of the best minds in the world for Space Research in a matter of a few months. Coordinating with the team back in Bangalore has, of course, been a little pain because of the time difference, but the team on the ground is excellent and forever on their feet, I couldn't have asked for a better squad.\"<\/p>
Tushar also goes on to talk about Bootcamps that will be organised at the Young Professionals in Space conference, \"When we named in Young Professionals in Space, we meant it,\" he laughs, \"we didn't want this event to just feature talks and nothing else, that would get really boring, really fast. So we came up with the idea of a Bootcamp which will nurture student interest in the field of space research and, here's hoping, the field has a valuable addition to it simply due to the presence of that student, the field basically is richer for their presence, and we do need more minds on deck here.\" <\/p>
As we conclude our interview, Tushar goes on to talk a bit about his own work and the road ahead, \"I won't say it was easy or hard, the difficulty is arbitrary, it is the ideals that we strive towards that matter. I'm very glad to see Young Professionals in Space spreading, with an event being held in Israel as well.\" He is also a recipient of the Izaak Walton Killam Pre-Doctoral Scholarship, the AITF Doctoral Scholarship, the Alberta Transformative Talent scholarship, the Academic Excellence Award, and the Research Productivity Award. Safe to say this event is helmed by the right amount of talent. <\/p>
After having graduated from Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Delhi, Tushar is currently pursuing his P.hD at the University of Calgary, Canada. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1510893668597","data":"5a0e6935e4902"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1510830132794","data":"

Sure, we don't exactly have winter snows here but that doesn't mean we can't pretend that its snowing outside. Then again, India is a vast and extremely diverse country, anything can happen here. While it might get cold here, up in the mountains, it does actually show. Anyway, I digress, the essential point of this article is that these are 5 of my personal favourite winter songs, because winter is my favourite season of the year. As for the snow, as long as you are feeling cold, you can pretend that it is actually snowing. As simple as that. <\/p>
1. It May Be Winter Outside (But In My Heart It Is Spring) by Love Unlimited<\/b><\/p>
If you're in a relationship, make sure you send them this song. A fantastic romantic track that defined the season in the year it was released, 1971, and every year since then, this song by Love Unlimited is one for the ages. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1510805948055","data":"P8D9_QZzARY"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1510805951076","data":"
2. Cold Weather Blues by Muddy Waters<\/b><\/p>
Released in the decade that would go on to become legendary for its blues music, Cold Weather Blues, released in 1964 by Muddy Waters, became an iconic Electric Blues song that simply cannot be missed. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1510806117254","data":"ojfMCYpDda8"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1510806126287","data":"
3. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol <\/b><\/p>
I absolutely love this track. It just makes me feel like I'm wrapped in a warm and thick blanket filled with love and nothing else. Released in 2006 as the alternative music revolution was taking over the world, this song and consequently, Snow Patrol would shoot straight into international fame with their lyrics and music. It's a fantastic song all around. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1510806291855","data":"GemKqzILV4w"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1510806296220","data":"
4. Valley Winter Song by Fountains of Wayne <\/b><\/p>
Fountains of Wayne has a gift of writing the perfect songs for angsty teenager phase, including exploring our own bodies and starting to notice attractive people of the opposite gender, which led to us getting the international hit 'Stacy's Mom', which is a fantastic song in its own right. Valley Winter Song, in a similar vein, is also about a girl by a boy who writes about her. It's a fantastic song, worth checking out. Oh and this one came out in 2003. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1510806577444","data":"cDfEBmjtkAQ"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1510806581390","data":"
5. Always With Me, Always With You by Joe Satriani <\/b> <\/p>
The ultimate slowdown\/romantic track by a man who has spent his life time trying to make his guitar make as many sounds as possible, Always With Me, Always With You by the guitar maestro and all around legend Joe Satriani was written in honour of his wife and is a fantastic instrumental track that I highly recommend you listen. It's the perfect way a long day of hard work, or to court the person you have a crush on. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1510806771336","data":"BsJisD7n8_Q"}]
Rushing back home from school back in the 2000s guaranteed two things: fantastic cartoons on the TV and an evening filled with whatever Mom used to cook, at least in my case. As much as my mother would like to cook for every child out there, she can't be everywhere like how cartoons were, in every home with a cable connection. This is where our love affair with DC comics began, where we were first exposed to the fantastic adventures of Comic Book's grumpiest hero, one of the greatest of all time, The Batman himself. <\/p>
Voiced by Kevin Conroy, who voiced what is considered the best adaptation of Batman till date, Batman: The Animated Series was our hook into the world, which expanded when Superman: The Animated Series began, which then extended to one of the most iconic TV shows of all time, the Justice League. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1510803864832","data":"5a0d0cb71f7ce"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1510803866492","data":"
Now, years later, the child is grown, the demons gone, but the obsession remains. When the DC Cinematic Universe began, it was only a matter of time before we got Justice League. We were extremely excited, every 90s kid, both early and late 90s, were excited to see where it would go. While the DCEU movies so far have not been quite what we expected them to be, and Justice League reviewing terribly, it does not matter because of one singular fact. <\/p>
The League is finally in a movie. A real movie with real actors playing their characters to perfection. What more could a fanboy ask for? <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1510804021690","data":"5a0d0cf453cb4"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1510804023962","data":"
All in! After years of hoping, praying, getting hyped, the League is finally here, about to hit the screens. In fact, by the time you're reading this, the movie would have already released and us fans who have gone their entire lives hoping this happens will be the first in line to watch it unfold on the big screens. We absolutely cannot wait! <\/p>
Which brings me back to the reviews part. Even as a fanboy, I acknowledge that the movie might not be as good as I hoped it would be, but I realise that I'm going to watch it to see the characters I've idolised as a child and still admire to this day come to life on the screen who play them as they are supposed to be. This will not take away from my enjoyment of the movie, neither will it affect my critical review of it once I actually finish watching it. I do pride myself on being an objective person, after all. <\/p>
But until then, let us just sit back and appreciate the fact that our childhood heroes are finally on the screen, together, and on their way to save the world. What a time to be a geek! <\/p>

With the rise of the internet in India also came the rise of a new age of stars that would be popularised not by Television or print media, but purely on the backs of people's interest on the internet. As such, the stars that rose to prominence using the internet as their platform had one thing in common: popularity. <\/p>
While many popular YouTube stars have emerged from the country as we increasingly became connected to high speed internet, there has, undoubtedly, been a few who are a cut above the rest, whose talent surpasses all barriers. One such star is Vidya Vox, that has broken the walls of the internet and become the talk of every town across India. <\/p>
We've complied a list of 5 songs that we believe are her best. Check them out here, don't forget to scroll all the way to the bottom! <\/p>
1. Be Free (Pallivaalu Bhadravattakam), featuring Vandana Iyer<\/b><\/p>
This mix of Malayalam classical mixed with the usual English sounds that have become a central feature of today's pop music make for a fantastic track to listen to. Check out the video, it is simply magnificent. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1510748124454","data":"eiGdsH1g20k"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1510748130932","data":"
2. The cover of Closer by Chainsmokers, featuring Casey Breves <\/b> <\/p>
This one is a particular favourite of ours. While Closer itself was a great song, mashing it with Kabira with Breves's deep vocals backing the chorus bits of the song make it an ethereal experience. The original video was deleted from Vidya's channel, but this is the internet, nothing is forever deleted. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1510748305757","data":"bd_ga_sWr2k"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1510748309438","data":"

4. Kuttanadan Punjayile - Kerala's Boat Song<\/b><\/p>
Featuring the fantastic Shankar Tucker and Jomy George, Kuttanadan Punjayile is Kerala's famous boat song, one that has many covers to it's name.

A slowdown track mashed up with a proper Punjabi song complete with its bass makes for a fantastic listen. Sandcastles and Teri Khair Mangdi is one of those covers that are truly special and a blessing upon our ears to listen...provided you have a great pair of headphones of course.

Don't you think we have to learn a lot from kids? Take time and spend a whole day with them, you will definitely understand! This children's day let's learn something from children.<\/p>
1. Patience: Do you know the blocks game? You have to build houses with the blocks! No matter how many time it falls down, they do it again until unless they are satisfied! Can we do that? No. We don't have the patience to repeat things and complete them! Acquire patience! <\/p>
2. To be happy: I'm not saying kids are always happy if they cry they cry for a reason and it's very difficult to understand what's the reason right, but they laugh without any reason! They are just happy and that's how they are healthy! :) Learn to be happy, always! <\/p>
3. Never lose hope\/ work hard\/ believe in yourself: Whenever a kid learns to walk, he\/she falls many times but they get up again and try! And once again did you notice that smile when they walk for the first time?<\/p>
4. Truth: Go and ask a kid how you look, they will tell you the truth without thinking how will feel! That's what people need to learn so that they can get better.<\/p>
5. Love and care: A child's love is infinite! Trust me it is! Once they are comfortable they don't care about gender, tone, height, weight, color, nothing! They just love. Learn to love in the same way you will get back the same! You will take nothing with you except love! <\/p>"}]
I am born and bought up in a typical Brahmin's family and with 19 years of experience, I've come to a conclusion about God. I Would also like to tell that this my personal opinion and not to discriminate anyone or any religion. Since my childhood I've been told to practice many things with respect to God like worshipping daily, fasting, eating non-veg was a sin and much such. I've never thought what was the reason behind it and what are we doing this for! For every question, I asked there was a reason for sure but is that a correct reason? Then why so many religions? Would like to give conclusions for few questions. <\/p>
1. Who is the god? Does he\/she exist? According to me, a god is someone to whom you hold on when you have no one else! What will you do when you have no one else to share your feelings, your problems, your happiness? You imagine someone and believe that they are always there for you and will help you in your difficult situations and that's what god is! Its a believe. <\/p>
2. Then why so many religions? Not everyone likes what you believe right? We have a different kind of people around us and all of them have different beliefs. If I like what he\/she is believing I will do it too and that's how I think different religions formed.<\/p>
3. Then what about Bhagavad-Gita, Quran, and Bible? They are all to make you a better person and to teach positivity so that you can never lose hope! Rather than considering them as books, we started considering them as religions! They convey the same message but in different ways. <\/p>
4. Then why going to temples make a wish come true? I believe that if its meant to happen it will happen! And if you believe in yourself and work hard you will achieve it. If you do nothing and pray God, you think there is any use? I don't think so. So, it's not about the religion, it's about you!<\/p>"}]

With her expedition to The Everest scheduled for March 2018, the expedition - which she says will take 2 months to finish - will become an example to young people across the country and indeed, across the world. We here at stuMagz wish her all the best and hope to see her conquer the remaining 3 mountains on her list, starting with the big one itself! <\/p>

Every girl dream big.she thinks to do this, do that and achieve a lot but nothing is materialized because we girls have restrictions.Our society today is driven by our minds, our fear and ego.we are too busy trying to get ahead and make something of ourselves in this world.So why can't you do what you desire to do?<\/p>
The decision to follow your heart may be scary, but in my opinion, this is what life is all about. Where ever you go, go with all your heart, listen to your heart, it's the best journey you can take.\"It's impossible,\" said pride.\"It's risky,\" said experience.\"It's pointless,\" said the reason.\"Give it a try,\" whispered the HEART\".<\/p>
\"Don't think too much otherwise you will be thinking your whole life away.Heart says one thing mind says the other thing then just stop, close your eyes and follow your heart.I assure you, it gives you the way\".<\/p>"}]
As William Shakespeare said, 'A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow'. Becoming friends is easy but understanding them in any situation and being with them lifelong is true friendship.Friends may be either male or female.True friendship doesn't matter in gender. Friendship to me is an unconditional bond between two or more people. It does not require any compulsory commitment in return from the one who is our best friends.<\/p>
Every girl needs a guy best friend to help her laugh when she thinks she'll never smile again. It's not mandatory to have a male friend. If a girl has a male friend society thinks in many different ways but whatever you do don't think about the society. Live in your own way and do whatever you want if your soul agrees on it. In my view, A friendship between a girl and a boy is purer than others. Why I rather have a best guy friend because there's no drama, they protect me, they are a good advisor and they don't hit on the guys I find cute. We develop intriguing feelings amongst ourselves which we love to cherish and do not let it go down.<\/p>
Be independent of yourselves and let the decisions be taken by you not according to the society because if you are going with the society it may redesign your life by which you may not be happy. So I conclude my article by saying that, If a girl talks to a guy and if they hang out that doesn't mean they are in a relationship they may be good friends too. Never let your friends go in vain.<\/p>"}]
