2minutes speech on TEACHER'S DAY 2020

Dr. Radhakrishnan

 The mere fact that we are all connected 
in this event makes me feel so elated and motivated to express my thoughts on this unconventional yet eventful day today. Good Morning and a very happy Teacher's Day to all.

                          A teacher is someone who teaches, and mind you, it is not just academics. Not everyone can be a teacher, because despite everything what a teacher teaches first is the way of life.
              Though teachers day is globally celebrated on 5th October, in India we celebrate it on 5th of September, to commemorate the birth anniversary of Dr. S Radhakrishnan, the second president of Republic of india and a profound teacher himself. He believed that "children are the future of the nation and it is only in the teachers hands that could shape it".
                                    It is well said that "Adversity shows one's potential".
These crucial times had their unique problems. We had to change our methods, increase our technical know-how. But challenges came, and we conquered it. And the result is here, we students and teachers being so connected even when being apart. It is all because of the hardwork, dedication and flexibility of our teachers for this drastically changing world. And think how lucky we students are to have such teachers around us, providing everything they can to you.


             Dear students, we must understand the importance of our teachers and praise them, not only today but whenever we look up to them. Seeking your blessings dear teachers, not only on behalf of myself or the students, but for all those whom your presence has made an impact, knowingly or unknowingly. 
Thankyou and a very Happy Teacher's Day again..!!

And through sharing of such knowledge we have become so powerful and developed powerful machines. One of the recent breakthroughs is AI. It is a program that learns by different means, remembers it, and uses it the next time at performs a task; much like experience of humans. Development of AI is very necessary for human kind. If we are to further develop or at least maintain the current standard of living, we need development of artificial intelligence . Simply think of a software which does not need to be updated, it runs by itself and with time, works better. Now many people disregard the development of artificial intelligence, posing it as an eventual threat to humankind and its existence.  The statement is simply foundation less. AI does not hinder human's cognitive abilities, instead it invites more and more people for competitive abilities. ...

BOOK REVIEW - THIRD CLASS IN INDIAN RAILWAYS

  The book ‘Third Class in Indian Railways’ written by M.K Gandhi is a series of short monologues to the educated class of pre-independence India. Gandhiji understands the fact that without the support of the educated class the dream of swaraj can never be achieved. The highly structured step by step manner by which different situations are explained is deeply appreciated. The first chapter enlightens the addresses about the problem. Gandhiji gives an example of 3 rd class railway travelling to show the indifference English sahib’s have towards the general Indian public.

He also takes special care to address the misconce...
