of my life. Life and my emotions are the only things I am conscious of. I love the consciousness of life and I want as much of it as I can get. But the span of one's life is limited. What comes after death no one knows. Nor do I care. Since, therefore, I cannot increase the content of life by increasing its duration, I will increase it by increasing its intensity. Art, music, poetry and everything else that consciousness I do have this one purpose - increasing the intensity of my consciousness of life". - Dr Homi Jehangir Bhabha sf/jfF Kaarvaan Trainees' Magazine, OCES 2013-2014 (57th Batch) BARC Training School, Mumbai Bhabha Atomic Research Centre Disclaimer: This magazine has been brought in present form by combined efforts of trainees of 57th OCES batch, BARC Training School, Mumbai.

Foreword BARC training school has always been a mainstay for developing the highly skilled human resource in the area of nuclear science and engineering. The Trainee Scientific Officers here are the best amongst the candidates aspiring to pursue a career in the Department of Atomic Energy. They are imparted upon with a rigorous training program for duration of one year. th It gives me immense pleasure to see the efforts of the Trainee Scientific Officers of 57 batch coming in the form of this trainee's magazine Kaarvaan. This initiative is an endeavor purely on the part of the trainees albeit having fairly heavy load of lectures, practicals, projects and examinations. I am sure that this will help them in overall personality and skill development in their professional career. The issue contains a wide variety of entries ranging from their experiences during the Training program, their personal accounts, and some suggestions to forthcoming batches etc. A very interesting section of interviews conducted by trainees is included in this issue. The interview with Bharat Ratna, Prof. C.N.R. Rao will always be an inspiration for them. I end here by congratulating them for bringing up this issue of the magazine and give my best wishes for their joining in the DAE family. (Dr. B. K.

Rao on National Technology Day, 2014.) Q. Sir, your advise to young scientists and enthusiasts who want to do research & establish a career in Science and Technology. A. Q. Your daily routine & lifestyle (It will surely motivate us). A. My advice to young scientists would be the following. If you have a mission, don't give up. It does not matter what others say. Don't ever be influenced by the casual comments of people around you if your target is clear. More importantly, pick an area which is not too crowded. It is always better to take a lonely road rather than a crowded one. You are likely to get more exciting results. I get up very early in the morning by 4.15 or 4.30 a.m., do some thinking and meditation and worry about my work. Whatever I may be doing through the day I keep worrying about the sentences and paragraphs that I want to write in manuscripts, or about something new that I want to do in the laboratory. There is always a kind of an undercurrent related to my research that keeps going through my mind, and this has helped me to get maximum possible results in the available time. Having done research for 63 years (out of which 55 years, I have been a Professor), I find that it is important that we don't waste too much time. Once I start working in the morning, I don't waste any time until I come home. I don't take coffee/tea breaks. I don't have time for gossip. Fortunately, people know my feelings on the matter and do not disturb me much. I enjoy music which I listen to every morning or evening. Music has been a great companion for me even in the office during the lunch break. During the lunch break, I close my office for 45 minutes or so and listen to some music or sanskrit recitation. It is nice to be restless, but one has to be sure that one is restless for the right reason. I understand why one can be restless about academic or scientific pursuits. I find that some young people want to get major recognitions in a very short time. One has to be little patient. If one is really good, eventually the world will look at his/her work. The best way is to have faith in oneself. Meditation and contemplation are necessary to calm down, and to have the right values. Q. Youth in this country are restless. What is your prescription to calm them and channelize their energy in the right way? A. Q. As per you, what qualities make Indian students/youngsters special than in developed nations. How this strength can be utilized as a tool for inspiration? Interview with Bharat Ratna Prof. C.N.R. Rao 28 A. Q. It sometime happens that people don't get a domain of their choice in research or job; what is your suggestion to them? A. Q. How can we enhance our scientific, technological and industrial development using Gandhian principles? A. Young people in India are as smart as those anywhere else. They have to work harder and have to have greater motivation. As far as the inspiration is concerned, I have always found that it is nice to have heroes that one can adore. As I told in my lecture, my own heroes have been people like Faraday, G.N. Lewis and Linus Pauling. From India, my main heroes have been J.C. Bose and C.V. Raman. My heores are generally are those who have worked throughout their life. A great person with whom I worked with was Prof. Nevill Mott (Cavendish Professor at Cambridge) who was a Nobel Laureate. He died at the age of 93 and in the year he died, he had four publications. I will never forget Prof. Mott who influenced me much in condense matter research. Prof. H.C. Brown (my teacher at Purdue also a Nobel Laureate) had several paper at the age of 96 when he died. I realize that sometimes it is a matter of luck as to where one works or where one gets a job. However, if one is determined to work in the best laboratory possible to pursue a particular area, eventually one succeeds. Here again, some patience may be required along with some accomplishment. One can be unlucky not to have the right place to work and this suppresses enthusiasm. I am a great admirer of Gandhiji. One of the main things that we have to learn from Gandhiji is that India has to stand at its own feet. We have to worry about the poor of India. Even in the Gandhian model, doing things in India becomes important. We have to work against all odds to be counted in this world. Don't forget, Gandhiji created new way of expressing dissent based on national aspirations. I am not worried about my legacy. All I can say is that I would like to be remembered as one who continued to work as along as he could and as one always worked with young people. Having wonderful young students has been wonderful. I have lectured to thousands of young people all over India at school and college levels and this has become a mission in my life, in addition to publishing the best possible research from India. Q. What legacy do you want to leave after you? A. 29 Interview with Dr. R K Sinha, Chairman, AEC & Secretary, DAE Q. You have devoted more than half of your life for nation's nuclear program. Please share your best experiences from your professional career. A. My journey with DAE has always been full of excitement and challenges which started from the first year itself when I graduated from trainee school in 1973. We had Pokhran-1 in 1974 and also the construction of Dhruwa reactor started around the same time. Being brought up in the technology denial regime, we needed complete self-reliance. Many such instances and incidents are still fresh in my mind, but one thing I can tell from my own experience is that the proudest moments are those when we stand up to the critical situation on our own defying all the negative speculations. One such moment came in 1989 when MAPS 1 and 2 were rendered non-functional because of failure of moderator inlet manifold in both the units. We had large pieces of metals inside the calandria, fallen on the calandria floor which were blocking the moderator flow path. It was first such critical situation faced in PHWR operations in the world. Our first job was to move out the pieces from the moderator flow path. We made a remote manipulator in Hall 7 capable enough to survive a very high radiation field. Despite having no such experience beforehand, we could not take proper trial runs due to time constrains. In the end, we were not only able to remove the metal pieces, but also outperformed a foreign contractor having multiple years of experience in remote handling. There were many such experiences in my professional career. DAE is one place where you are allowed to try things for the very first time in the world and learn from your mistakes. Even today I have got the same excitement towards learning. Any technology starts with basic science only. DAE has the philosophy of RD3 - Research, Design, Development and Delivery. The fruits of research must go to society at large be it reactor technology, radio isotopes generation, irradiation of bio products or anything else. To achieve a common target, various science and engineering disciplines must work in harmony with each other. As DAE being more focused on deliverables to the society, everything is multi- disciplinary here. I have deep reverence and utmost respect for Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha, who sacrificed his highly successful scientific career in order to the build the nation and bring prosperity and self-reliability to us. The great man pursued his interest in Physics after obeying his father's advice to complete the course in mechanical engineering. In a very short span of time, he earned a great name in the field of Physics. He was a true institution builder, who envisaged science and atomic energy for the country's future needs in 1930s. For that he nucleated Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) and Atomic Energy Commission. He achieved great heights in a short span Q. Sir, in your opinion how is the philosophy of multidisciplinary research relevant in context of DAE? A. Q. Who is your role model and what do you see in him/her? A. 30 of time and got the things done for the country. His emphasis on creating scientific environment in country and developing the self-reliance in nuclear technology did not only help us out in technological denial regime, but also ensured that we have the brain power to tackle difficult situations on our own under adverse conditions. In a way he not only built the department, achieved things but also set a roadmap and built a strong foundation for the DAE in a very short span of time. It is the excitement of doing something new which propels every scientist in his career. In DAE, you have freedom and flexibility to convert your ideas to some research outcomes or deliverables to the society. You also have the chance to do work on projects of very high national and international impact. In my opinion, the opportunity to contribute something meaningful to the nation in itself is a huge motivation, which is more difficult to get elsewhere. DAE has developed many mainstream as well as spin off technologies in the past which range from atomic energy, radio isotopes to the industries and healthcare, water purification, instrumentation to agriculture and several advanced technologies. Traditionally we have been having direct technology transfers, where private entrepreneurs are provided with these technologies by DAE through advertisement under various schemes. Many technologies developed by DAE need some additional market driven value addition. We are thinking of developing a model to utilize such technologies through an empowered board working within government framework. Some products, services or even consultancies provided by DAE have potential to generate huge revenues, which can be used to cross subsidize basic technologies so as to Q. In your opinion, what should motivate a young DAE scientist or inspire them to go another step ahead? A. Q. What are the mechanisms to take the technologies developed by DAE to the public? Are there any new thoughts in this regard to improve the efficiency of delivery? A. provide the service to the society at lower cost. Definitely, improving the efficiency of delivery to the society is a priority for DAE. I agree with you that websites should be appealing and interactive. In today's world, internet media is a very powerful tool of communication. It has to have a pleasant look which also conveys about our programmes in a manner which addresses all the queries, apprehensions and misapprehensions about our nuclear program. With improved aesthetics, our viewership will also increase. We are already working to make the website attractive and more useful for the people. We also need to ensure that all the websites are updated regularly. There are certain limitations because of security reasons and also we have to follow the guidelines set by the Government of India. But yes, within these limitations also improvement can be done. We have gathered some ideas and started working on the issue. I will have no hesitation in giving this responsibility to groups of young people who can give frank suggestions. We have several projects to create the public acceptance and support for nuclear energy. Many such projects are already in implementation phase, while others are in development stage. For example, in Kudankulam, NPCIL has put huge efforts to engage with local public. 2-3 batches of visitors visit the plant every day, where they are provided with basic Q. DAE and its daughter organisations have websites with outdated looks compared to similar research organisations of other countries (for instance, crowded with too much of information in the home page itself, not designed for screen resolutions being used these days and not appealing enough ). With a beautiful and strong IT team, any measures to modernise our web platforms? A. Q. Organizations are effectively using media platforms, outreach programs to schools and colleges and awareness programs for the general public. What mandate must be prepared in this regard to garner the public acceptance? Your take on this and any special initiatives in this direction? A.
31 knowledge of working and safety related issues of the nuclear reactor. The exercise as a whole has been a huge success. A short video clip about the functions and achievements of DAE is telecasted on Door Darshan channel. A fund of 300 Crore Rs is sanctioned for establishing DAE communication centres at the periphery of major DAE installations. These outreach centres will be more or less standardised with seminar area, exhibit area and technology transfer area. It will help prospective beneficiaries such as farmers, medical practitioners, entrepreneurs, college professors and students etc. to connect and communicate with DAE in a better manner. An official presence on social media is becoming a necessity. It will help us interact with public at large and address the queries and misconception of public related to nuclear energy. We should ensure our presence in a crisp manner with a factual position. Such a mechanism has not yet been established. But we will definitely look forward on this. It is also understood that if we can provide some knowledge and true facts about this field to students at a young age, they are less likely to be influenced or misguided by wrong and biased information at a later stage. In this regard, it is also planned to include a chapter about Nuclear Energy in NCERT text books. Due to space crunch in Anushaktinagar residential colony, to provide accommodation to all the employees is not possible. That's why HRA was increased substantially in last pay commission. I do hope they take care of the issue this time also. DAE, being a large family of organisations has very diverse work profiles. It is not possible to assure everyone the desired job profile. But, I can assure you Q. Waiting period for accommodation in Anushaktinagar is very long (approx. 8 yrs). Are there any projects in the pipeline to address this situation? A. Q. What would you suggest to TSOs who are placed with job profiles less oriented towards research but still want to pursue research in his/her area of interest? A. that genes of innovations are in blood of every DAE employee. Even if work seems to be rather mundane, the room for improvement and innovation is always there. Many systems and processes are not yet fully understood. No system works completely according to model simulated for it. A person working in control room gets the information of process parameters and has the opportunity to improve the model as well as validate it. My advice to such people will be to go for PhD in the area of their interest matching with the departmental goals. There are so many areas still unexplored. Working for a PhD will help them gain the expertise and satisfy their appetite for research. In my view the work that directly affects the delivery is most relevant and must be the ultimate reason for satisfaction.
I would say that there are plenty of challenges for enhancing the quality of life of our people to reach developed status. Everyone should think about what he or she can do for the enhancing the quality of life. DAE provides work fronts and opportunities to address these issues through scientific and technological means. It has brought the nation strength and deliverables in the area of electricity generation, health security, food security, drinking water, high end technologies, education research and training, and national security. One should always be ready to contribute to nation's growth and for raising the level of our existence in the international community. Q. Your words of wisdom for trainees ready to join DAE? A. With inputs from: Anushri Jain, Computer Science Deepanshu Dwivedi, Mechanical Gargi Bindal, Biosciences Keshav Mohta, Mechanical Manisha Rathee, Chemical Sudip Bhunia, Chemical 32 Interview with Shri Sekhar Basu, Director, BARC & Member, AEC Q. Sir, you have dedicated nearly four decades of your life for nation's nuclear program. Please share your best experiences from your professional career. A. It was full of enjoyment. I have been enjoying every hour of my professional career. 'We' have achieved a lot of set goals in these four decades. When you set some target and achieve it, then the satisfaction you get is immense, just like being on cloud nine. Among my best experiences are, - After 30 years of prolonged efforts, the propeller shaft of the nuclear submarine built at Kalpakkam rotated successfully. - It was the inauguration of PREFRE-2 by the honorable Prime Minister of India. Chopping machine was to chop the first bundle. We were all concerned that at that point of time it should function well. It was a great relief when everything happened smoothly. Q. Who all has been the inspiration for you that kept you motivated throughout? Q. During this training, we have just been transformed from skeptics to believer in nuclear energy. Does DAE have any plans of engaging us in direct communication with public to increase awareness? We: Sir, It would be great if we can introduce a chapter describing 'Indian - Three Stage Nuclear Program' in school level itself. Sir: Q. Compared to other departments under Government of India, DAE is privileged to have higher endowments and competent human resource, but still we do lack motivation. What activities department must undertake to boost the moral in A. I have always found inspiration in freedom fighters. The passion to serve the nation has always worked as driving force within me. The feeling that drives me is patriotism. Moreover I am always optimistic about achieving the goals. A. Yes, very much so! Our honorable chairman has formed a committee of 30-40 young people who are the ambassadors of DAE for the people outside. We have also engaged several young groups in visits to various universities to boost the awareness of the pioneering research being conducted in the field of Nuclear Science and Technology. I appreciate your suggestion; rather it would be a very good initiative. We can begin with our own AECS Schools. I will convey your suggestions to the concerned authority.
33 regular intervals? Q. A full scale package is not availed to trainees. What is the possibility of on-job training for SOs recruited via OCES & DGFS scheme? We: Sir, the pay scale offered during training in other PSU's is full salary at respective grade pay. Sir: A. You have freedom of work in DAE. When you join a group, you are allowed to do anything within the mandate of the group, maybe not on the first day but surely after 2-3 yrs. As long as you are within the goals of the department you will get a free hand to work. Choose an area which will give you satisfaction. After 5-7 years, change the domain of your work because there are limited horizons left to explore in the same field when you have spent this much length of time. The best part of my career is I did not have to repeat any task and that is what DAE can provide you. If you have joined an organization, you aspire to reach the top. When you lead a team there will be some administrative work. As the team size increases the administrative work increases. Being the director I still do 20% scientific work and rest is administrative i.e. I play a techno- administrative role. Over these years my area of involvement has vari ed from wri ti ng codes, performi ng experiments, design, construction, project management and also helping operations. Every s t ep has added more admi ni s t rat i ve responsibility. A. Rs. 20,000 of pay per month, I agree it is lower than at the SO/C grade. We will discuss this matter. The date of last revision needs to be checked before coming to any suitable conclusion. As mentioned we will discuss this and We: Rather than pursuing a full time scientific research, why did you choose an administrative role? Sir: confirm the facts.
A. Nuclear Energy, basically 'radiation', is the fear of unknown. They say everything started with a big bang. Similarly nuclear energy emerged with two big bangs (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) and this origin is the reason of people being very apprehensive of it. The exploitation of Nuclear Energy is for safe power generation and other applications. Indians are known to posses' high tolerance level and are ready to accept any amount of deficiency in their living standards, but not ready to invite any new technological breakthrough that can enhance living. But tomorrow, when coal and oil will be exhausted, Renewable Energy and Nuclear Energy will be the only way out. Solar and Wind Energy are less efficient at this stage while hydel projects require much land to be flooded, a major concern for a populous country like India. Henceforth, considering big expansions, Nuclear Energy will be the savior and we are one of the most advanced nations in the nuclear map with wel l devel oped Reactor and fuel cycl e technologies. A. As of today you all are not very well aware of your own interest as well as divisional activities. You know very little of what is there in front of you. Later when you are completely involved in a group or divisions actively, you will find that things are Q. Organizations are effectively using media platforms, outreach programs to schools and colleges and awareness programs for the general public. What mandate must be prepared in this regard to garner the public acceptance? Your take on this and special initiatives required in this direction. Q. Many trainees realize mismatch between their interest and job profile offered. Given opportunity in the field of interest, they will work efficiently and contribute more for the organization. The prospect of inter division transfer/collaborations being limited; what is your advice for us? 34 very flexible and you will surely find a job of interest within it. As an energetic young scientific officer, try to fit in the organization and settle down first and I am sure you will be satisfied with your job. Transfer after a few years is possible. A. Yes, there are constraints. But anything can be achieved, just keep trying. My attitude has been 'Never say die'. Even if you fail ten times, you will surely succeed on the eleventh attempt. One must refrain from finding reasons for why things cannot be done. Find ways to accomplish them. Another reason is that I have been able to build teams, group of motivated people like you with great team spirit. Such a group can achieve anything. Q. Sir, you are known to execute and deliver projects within stipulated time? How have you been able to perform continuously despite facing constraints associated with a strategic governmental organization? Q. Your words of wisdom for trainees ready to join DAE? A. Well I'd like to say three things: - You are our future. - You are very lucky to join a place where Science and Technology merges. - Also, you are lucky to join a place where you can serve Science as well as your nation and you can do that while you get reasonable emoluments. But having said that, I would like to add, enjoy your life, especially when you are young, as lost time is never going to come back. Dont take studies and projects too seriously to upset you at any point of time. Keep trying and itll happen but while doing that, enjoy as much as you can! Try to remain happy all the time! With inputs from: Anushri Jain, Computer Science Deepanshu Dwivedi, Mechanical Gargi Bindal, Biosciences Keshav Mohta, Mechanical Manisha Rathee, Chemical Sudip Bhunia, Chemical 35 Nuclear Power in India Story: Gaurav Singh, Electrical Illustrations: Rajashree Banerjee, Instrumentation Swati Hayaran Das, Electronics 36 - Souradeep Mitra Electrical The Game - Gargi Bindal, Biosciences Remember me this day forth From whence we will not be together For I will not always remain by your side Though I wish I could forever Remember me in every tickle of Laughter and in every joke you crack. Remember me when you are sad I swear I'll be feeling the same way. Remember me in a crowd Wishing I could be therefore true. Remember me in solitude Wishing I could materialize in front of you Remember me more than a name If you don't I will consider it fortune Remember me this day froth. From whence we will not be together For we have different paths to trot Though I wish we could have been forever together. Remember - Sarver Ahmed, Biosciences & Ashutosh Srivastava, Chemistry A Rendezvous with BARC Grandeur of thee be praised when Simplicity of thine also is bewitching Enrapturing are panoramic view of yours Bestowed feel of soothing, washed away sorrows Velvety blanket of clouds wraps aloft mountain As if hair of Pari spares lover's face from sun Waving with breeze in an undulating way Stared you at morn started our day Evening strolls down to market With anticipatory looks, round the corner From campus gazelles, fuelled our dreams Enamoured us thy countenance, always gleams! Reasons burned to ashes in fire of passion Swept away we were, with floods of emotion Inscribed on empty plates of our heart BARC your love, for us matters a lot! I am now playing a game, I don't know what is its name, But surely I ain't liking the way, The game is making me play. The rules are so hard and rough, That I can hardly get a grasp. It takes me through the rosy fields, And provides me with cozy shields, Only, at a later stage, To fill me up with lot of rage, When I get out of my mind, And make mistakes of every kind.
I, now am a wounded soldier, With a lot of load on my shoulders, Standing amongst big boulders, With everything around me in smolders. I can't see even a ray of hope, And I can't think of a way to cope. So, I limp towards the drowning sun, To pay the price for what I'd done.
But, Since I have started this game, I am ready to face the flames, And eventually, I hope to win, And get a chance to meet the queen. Picture Courtesy : Internet Picture Courtesy : Internet 37 The Reunion of the Manhattan Project It was another usual day in the Training School, tiring and brain storming. I came back from my classes and was very exhausted. That day it was raining so heavily in Mumbai that we could hardly see anything through the window. This made the weather perfectly suited for a good nap and I fell fast asleep. Suddenly there was a knocking at the door. I thought it was one of my batch mates calling me. I would always get irritated by such calls as the urgency of calls was much lesser than the nature by which they were made but that night the knocking continued most unusually. I would also get the faint smell of a cigar. Suddenly I could see (in my sleep) some streaks of torch light peeping through my door. It was quite unusual and astonishing for me. I woke up with a jump hurriedly and banged my door open. But there was no one to be seen. Far away in the corridor I saw a man in a long black coat. The coat seemed a bit dusty and shabby as his long white hair. I was in a shock as nowadays men do not look like that. He couldn't balance himself as his head seemed to be bigger as compared to his body. As he strolled towards the lift I quietly followed him with my mind filled with curiosity and a strange fear. He knew that I was following him and he looked back at me but unfortunately I couldn't get a glimpse of his face. To my amazement, I saw the lift stop at the 14th floor. Now I was overwhelmed with curiosity. To avoid being seen by the man I took the stairs to the 14th floor. The suspense grew as I missed my chance to solve the mystery. As I reach the 14th floor I saw that the man entered the VIP hall. I quickly went up to him. There was a peculiar smell, probably a mixture of cigar, sampan overall like an aristocratic party of the old western times. As I moved through the smoky hall I saw a red banner where it was written There was a voice, which greeted me with a warm welcome, and as the smoke cleared out I finally had a chance to see the man's face. I recognized him it was a similar face from my science book, he was Albert Einstein! I couldn't believe; it was like a dream. Then I slowly realised that the surrounding men were none other than the popular names of the Manhattan Project, the people who shook the world by their knowledge. A deep voice offered me a sampan. I humbly refused but at last I had to take it. Someone from the corner said, Relax my boy, you know I have been here before. Dr. Bhabha invited me to this research institute in the year 1960. I stood silent and in amazement. I could not even nod my head as I found he was Prof. Niels Bohr. He again asked me about my training school. I looked down and in a low voice and murmured, It's too hard for me, Sir. The load is tremendous. My answer was replied with a laughter that filled the hall. Prof. Bohr said, My son, it is not even a fraction of what we have faced during the Manhattan Project. I replied, Actually the syllabuses are huge and time is too short that we face difficulty in digesting them so most of the time we tend to vomit it out. Smoking a cloud from his pipe another man remarked, Syllabus! What syllabus? You are just dividing science by using this word and bounding your knowledge but, my boy, knowledge has no limit. It was very easy to know the man was Prof. Fermi. I felt a little ashamed. Suddenly in the corner the man who was playing the bongo, stopped and shouted, Hey man, where is the madness of learning in the young generation or do you love what you do actually? I at once knew the man; he was the most handsome scientist Prof. Feynman. The Reunion of the Manhattan Project 38 I was taken aback, I was astonished as I had never thought of this. I started to give an excuse to find my way-out, Home sickness, sir. Home sickness? I haven't seen my family since 8 years since we left Germany; later, a news confirmed that they were executed in a Gas chamber. A sorrowful voice came out from the right corner, he was the great Prof. James Franck. Another man stood from the chair and said, I'm Max Planck, you must have heard about me. I lost two daughters in child birth, one son died in the World War-I and another one in World War II, but your nuclear science helped me to stay alive, it is the only thing I will have with me till death and you are talking about load? I had had more sleepless nights than your training school days because I loved it. Tear rolled down his cheeks, I could feel his pain. I felt a warm hand on my right shoulder and heard, My uncertainty principle is also applicable to human life, when there is happiness in life we can't sense pain and when we are immersed in pain we have to search for the slightest of happiness but as a matter of fact how do you balance these two in life makes you what you are. I felt some relief and knew he was none other than Prof. Heisenberg. The cloud of confusion was cleared by a soothing sound of Violin. I asked myself, Was there any musician in Manhattan project? But then I realised that the man with violin was none other than my hero Albert Einstein. He smiled in his own fashion and asked, What is your desire? We are ready to give you that. Without taking much time I said, I want to be as intelligent as you are. He agreed to give his intelligence to me but then Prof. Fermi interrupted, Albert! Don't just paralyse him; allow him to stand on his own feet.Albert replied, Then in that case let's get that distributed across each floor of your Training School Hostel among the pupils who love science, want to work for science and would die for it. Hearing that, the feeling that I had inside me could be expressed in one word as 'satisfaction'.
The knocking continued incessantly like the rain outside. Someone cried from the other side, Sahab, darwaja kholo room saaf karna hai. The noise woke me up; I rubbed my eyes and looked around for a minute. I looked at my watch. Oh! I had only ten minutes to get ready for my classes! But on my way to the class my curiosity changed my destination from class to 14th floor VIP hall but there was nothing. As I was making my way back downstairs, I was naturally disappointed, the most beautiful experience of my life was just merely a dream but suddenly, I found a small piece of a paper on the floor in front of me. I took it up. It read... - Kartik Dutta, Chemistry & Subhashis Dutta, Instrumentation PLEASE JOIN OUR NEXT REUNION ON .... 39 An Endless Journey... One day I was moving a stone, may be one meter in diameter; inch by inch, continuously where ever I went, whatever I did. I didn't know why I was moving it but I have been moving it as long as I can remember. I never got consciously involved; it was as if I was moving the stone in a parallel universe of which I knew nothing and was not much interested to know either. But today was different; a sudden jerk while pushing the stone made me realize my actions. I saw that I was pushing the stone towards a mountain. I tried very hard to find a reason for my actions but of no use. I was not able to come up with any reasonabl e answer. Coupl ed wi th frustration and fear of ignorance I convinced myself that I would get the answers once I pushed the stone to the mountain top. Soon this became my sole aim. I pushed the stone harder and harder. Sometimes I thought that I should give up, but the quest for truth, coupled with fear of ignorance of my own actions pushed me towards my goal. While pushing the stone, I realized how little I knew about the world in which I live; a world with which I thought was quite familiar with until recently. The things which had made sense till now did not make sense any more. Finally the day came when I was able to push the stone to the mountain top. The view was so beautiful; I was able to see the whole unfamiliar terrain. But soon my happiness and excitement died when I realized that I still had no answers. Out of frustration I tried to abandon the stone, but the realized that my very survival depended on that stone. Without pushing that stone I would die.
Maybe I push the stone to live. But why do I live? The world I live in does not make sense any more- do I live to push the stone? Can the meaning of my life be this silly, pushing a stone! I then had only two options left; to push the stone here-and-there endlessly, without meaning or purpose; or to commit suicide. I started to wonder about my old days, when I never consciously thought of why I was pushing the stone. Ignorance really is bliss! I wish I could go back to old ignorant days again! After some thought I came to the conclusion that may be life really doesn't have any meaning. Still, I may myself give meaning to it. Maybe it is self-delusional, but at the end happiness is what that matters. Even if I die, I may not get my answer, so why not live happily in my delusional world? Also I would now have the freedom to give different meanings to life at different points of time. In fact I started to think of myself as a rebel, always trying to give a meaning to my meaningless world. I am Sisyphus, and this is my story. - Niranjan Siva Sankaran Radiological Safety Engineering 40 The Quest We have experienced the buzz of a bee and at times have found it irritating and disturbing. But then, there is an altogether different perspective about them, of being a symbol of a unified family. The fact that worker bees belonging to a hive elect a queen, take special care of her until she matures and work together to support the queen is seriously thought provoking. Isn't it? All this is done, to insure her life and importantly, the continuation of the colony. Now, this is symbolic of a family working together for the benefit of the group. In short, bees personify teamwork. The team in whites with an upturned collar possessed it. This team had all the essential ingredients right from a red capped mentor cum player and an able and sacrificial leader who had an imperfect handlebar moustache to a blistering pace bowler with a rib-tickling voice. A bespectacled marauding opener, an intense no.3 with a dozen younger brothers, a pinch-hitter who took off my beloved gloves, a fielder with nimble feet and gym body, a burly man with consistent line and length and finally a seam bowler who has a problem counting numbers especially the number of balls in an over completed by the team. The lanky attacking batsman from defense, the dancing bowler from Govandi, the fish junkie also an underrated batsman, and the promising chemical lad equally played their part undauntedly but in phases. On a serious note, more than the matches played in the tournament, it was the series of gruelling practice sessions in the sultry weather comprising the favorite ground running, long stretching and warm-up exercises, fielding drills, batting-bowling sessions in an unprepared pitch (especially the new ball hurled at openers) which stands vivid in my memory. After all, the quest was no bed of roses and hence demanded a strong homework. The fact that, almost 6-7 of us had never played cricket with a cricket ball made these training sessions very crucial which is why most of us never often skipped it. These sessions which enabled us to go this far and brought in us a sense of confidence, urge and most importantly taught us to play as a single unit with a single minded goal just the way the bees do. The cricket ball matches played at 'Free Entrance Waalla' (FEW) Stadium bring adrenaline rush into me which takes a while to settle down. The tournament for us was like a roller coaster ride. The kick-off was not less than a disaster. Bowlers rescued and redeemed the ship. Long breaks in between the nd first two matches also helped our cause. In the 2 and rd 3 match, batsmen also got into the groove, ably supporting the match winning bowlers who were always a tough nut to crack. Just when, we were looking to cruise over, the unfortunate thing happened. The champion opponents did it better in the quarter finals with full points to them, as they found a chink in the armour. By then, the team had already learnt the lesson of life. The humongous support from the TSH inmates during the course of tournament, especially rd th from the 3 and 4 floors worked wonders for us. The direct throw run-out from 60 odd meters, a batsman diving to save his wicket (who had never ever dived his entire life), a few bowlers bowling wide tirelessly (this being a strategy) were just remarkable. The charisma of both our players and supporters is worth mentioning. The overwhelming celebrations in a brash manner post any dismissal (to which the poor umpires pleaded to end), sledging against the elder opponent batsman (who might have well turned out to be our bosses in the near future), sledging against an opponent fielder by our supporters to end our frustrating boundary drought, the huddle before the start of bowling session and finally most importantly the female fan base of our team will find a special mention in the cricketing folklore of Anushakti nagar. - R. Shrinath Mechanical 41 Can you remember that day? To you I had something to say. What an amazing day that was. Perhaps, to get that chance, I was quite ambitious. And all of a sudden, To me you turned out to be very precious. That day I evoked you as a gorgeous diva. And with no time, An endless pleasure thrilled me as a shinning nova. Yeah I was mesmerized with your charming beauty. Your fascination seemed to me the divine duty. Quite often you peep upon me in my night dream. And in the mean time, My heart melts in your feeling's stream. Even the sun looks gloomy to me when you glow. Hardly, I have any control to my emotional flow. You make me mad with your sugary smile. A sparkling delight enchants me whenever you wile. And all day all night, in every moment, My glance is always in your search, Probably it's all about to feel your elusive touch. Oh! Sweetheart, I'm in your love. I don't know how to fulfill my curiosity, Whenever, I find you in my vicinity. Gradually I start on believing to that tenacity. And also all the way at the expense of time, My dream of getting you approaches to the reality. My Hidden Ballad - Sudip Gorai Chemistry A Dearly Death Our dreams were tall We sailed across oceans large and small With joy and happiness We sailed with steadiness... Far across the oceans Far across the globe Heart filled with ambition With happiness galore... Days passed and years went by We kept on working without a sigh Un-trembled by numerous jolts We stood strong despite pit falls... My friend spared his time Talking to his mom Who was so kind Just and a peaceful mind... She was his mom but I loved her too as I lost mine When I was two... One day in the workplace My friend got hurt on his face I held my nerves and prayed till breath But unfortunately he met his death... Shocked devastated down and dead Two days I didn't have any bread I feared in heart about the consequence What to tell in his mother's presence... Like a summer tempest Came my tears For the loss of a child I was in fear... I was to leave the other day To meet his mother so dear away I gathered courage and went to the door But found his mother DEAD on the floor. - Harsh Vardhan Jha Electrical 42 Starting of a Beautiful Journey They are known to be the toughest interviews in India. They are known to be the longest lasting technical interviews in India. The panels are known as rejection panel than selection panel. Yes, I am talking about BARC interviews. It was 15th of May when they told me that you have got called for BARC interview. Ek Berojgar ke liye isse badi khushkhabri aur kya ho sakti hai. I was happy to hear some contradictory statements from various people, Abe tera kaise ho gaya, Pass hone me to dam nikal jata tha and Bhai tumhara nahi hoga to kiska hoga, man se to tumhi padhte the. Anyway, I was happy and very much confident of getting selected and started working on my favourite subjects viz. Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer, etc. I did not search for any interview questions or sought any help as I knew only my concepts will help me. I needed nothing else. The interview was on 6th of June and I reached a day earlier and took rest at a friend's place. The next day, as usual, I woke up later than scheduled and found out that I have shoes but socks. I thanked the almighty for this mercy as I hate wearing shoes. So, I put on My Sandals (One with strap and the other without it!) and headed for Mankhurd local station, nearest to the BARC facility. I fell in love with Mumbai. After reaching the Multi Purpose Hall, the reporting place, they asked us to fill up loads of forms asking for a plethora of information about candidates. As usual, fir se neend aa gayi. Kisi Bhali ladki ne dhakka dekar jagaya. May god give her a very good and loving groom! After completing the formalities, we left for the interview. Alas, why did I choose mechanical as my branch! All the other sides were having sincere, beautiful girls studying, discussing amongst the fellow interviewees. Yaha to hum sab adhiktar hawa khaate baithe the. Some were still discussing problems and were revising their subjects. Getting bored, I asked a volunteer that how many people do they select on an average per day? He answered, Yesterday they took only one, the day before that two and the day before that, none. Today they have already taken three, lagta hai aaj ka quota poora ho gaya. Oops! With little bit analysis I found that they must be interviewing at least 70-80 aspirants a day. Now I seriously started considering to utilize my time in touring Mumbai than giving the Interview. But still I waited. Then came my turn. I checked my wristwatch and it said 03:56 PM. Andar paanch daitya baithe hue the. After welcoming and pacifying me, they started their most beloved leisure time activity. (Believe me fellas, they love interviewing. If you actually make it to BARC, you will find that the first interview was the simplest one.) They asked me my favourite subjects and as I answered, they said, on paper. They will give you a paper and pencil even to say good morning and bye if they can. So I answered- ?Thermodynamics. ?Heat and Mass Transfer. ?Fluid Mechanics (Now they say we know the abbreviations too, Kitni jaldi hai inhe interview lene ki bhaai). ?RAC. ?TOM. The supposedly most senior scientist asked What about Strength of Materials and I said, Sir, I am not thorough with that subject (Man mein Bhagwan kasam kuch nahi aata SOM me) They now started asking questions from Fluid Mechanics, very basic questions. None of them needed concepts more than Pascal's Law, Continuity Equation, Viscosity, Surface Tension etc. but definitely needed a thorough understanding which will comes if you have the love for learning. Even an Eleventh grader 43 could have answered all the questions if well studied and even PhD fellows won't be able to answer if they do not have an in-depth knowledge. Then came Heat and Mass Transfer, not crossing the limits of basics of conduction and convection, Thermodynamics, again within the ambit of Zeroth, First Law and the understanding of various processes. Bade gurudev ko shanti nahi mil rahi thi to SOM poonch hi liya and I answered it correctly. Then came concepts of mechanics which I studied well earlier followed by RAC. The most important thing they sought was my approach towards the problem and my analytical abilities. If I was unable to answer at first, they helped me by asking a similar question. They gave me ample time to think and answer and I needed to have a very good understanding of graphs. Oh yes, I just love graphs and prefer them over ugly equations. Generally they also have some interest in derivations and even more in the assumptions, although they didn't ask me anything as such. By this time I was nearly sure that I am going to get selected. Snacks came, which they offered me. Mai to wahi baith kar shuru ho gaya. Then they politely asked me to sit outside while having my snacks. I came outside and checked my watch. It was already 05:20 p.m. and I was amused to know that as I thought that only 20- 25 minutes would have elapsed. This is the kind of friendly environment you would get inside. After few minutes, they called me in and gave me the most sought after piece of paper, the white slip, ensuring that I am capable enough to join this prestigious institute (Except in the case of being medically unfit :-) ). That day, New Bachelor Hostel gave this bachelor an immense pleasure and a great opportunity. Only time will tell how much I would be able to encash it. - Deepanshu Dwivedi Mechanical GRAND CLASS (PROLOGUE: Finally it is time for most awaited grand class of the training program. It is just a week before final exam and all the teachers have assembled together to clarify any level of doubt so far from their course content.) (NOTE: Subject names indicate its teacher. However, all conversations mentioned here are imaginary only and have no relation with any person or group.) 1 NFCT Sir : Anyone.why people are afraid of nuclear radiations? 1 EL Trainee (in bhoukaal): Because sir, it is Department of Atomic Energy. 1 NFCT Sir (Thinking 'what was that?'): If you Scientists will answer in such a manner, then what will we expect from normal public. 1 NFCT Mam : Okay guys!! Now anyone tell me the difference between mass transfer and heat transfer. 1 IN Trainee : Sirsorry-sorry mam!! Mass transfer is transfer of mass and heat transfer is transfer of heat. Whole Class: lol :-) 1 NFCT Mam : hmmm good :-/ 1 IN Trainee : Mam, but then what is Pomp- piing? 1 RPE Mam : Pumping is Pumping :-/ 1 IN Trainee (silently to his neighbour): Ki bollo Ki bollo?? 1 CS Trainee : Hahahah..Ok!!! Mam I had this question from last class how can water become a rod inside Reactor core? 1 EL Trainee : Abe baraf bana ke daalte honge aur kya. silly boy. PLACE: LECTURE HALL 2, TRAINING SCHOOL COMPLEX 44 1 RPE Mam : Don't take that much literal meaning. (Mam screaming)I repeat In PWR moderator is light water, and in PHWR moderator is heavy water. 2 CS Trainee : Sir, you had told na, but how can neutr`o'n penetrate steel without making any noise? 1 RPE Sir : See. that's a very good question but actually I don't know how to tell you.. and how much to tell you. Actually.. See in previous year this question was in syllabus since we have limited classes this year, so what I am doing. I am cutting down the syllabus!!!...... Whole Class: (Clapping) 2 IN Trainee : Sir, but what is the difference between diffusion length and mean free path? 1 RPE Sir : See. Its like Kal to tum yaha baithi thi, Aaj waha kaise chali gayi.?? What was your question again? Common Trainee: Sir, can you explain with some examples? 1 EM Sir: Ghar me pappa spoon feeding karte hai kya. These things are quite simple. if you will study it by yourself (yawning), then you will easily understand it. Do you still want me to teach it? Back Benchers: (in unison) No Sir. 1 Em Sir: Mai yahi chah raha tha ki aap log khud hi yeh bole Back Benchers: Wahhh. Sir you are awesome. 1 EE Trainee : Sirrrr You In the verylike... very first class nalike . you had told something aboutlike. about leg. Can you please..like please explain.that part like? 2 Em (Interrupting): You know, but you don't know that you know. 2 EE Trainee : Oye!! (With hath ka ishara) yeh phir se samajhaiyo jara. 1 HP Sir : See legs are integral part of body which is used to transport someone from one place to another. In case of spider it is 8, in case of cow it is 4 and more specifically in case of normal human (like you) it is 2. 1 CS Trainee : Sir, if you are expecting such kind of 'algorithm' from people other than Computer Science, then how will they pass the exam? 1 RCEI Sir : What is your discipline? 1 CS Trainee : Computer Science. 3 EM Sir : Why should I buy your argument? 1 CS Trainee : Sir, my college is a new one. 1 RCEI Sir (Angrily): Then, why don't you just worry about yourself rather than worrying for others? Whole Class: (In lambi khamoshi). 3 EE Trainee (after few seconds): Mam. Bank jana hai, may we leave? 1 RPE Mam : Bus drivers in BARC think of themselves nothing less than but Director itself. So please remain seated. 2 NFCT Sir (Proudly): My 'chelas' who work like bus driver, I literally chop them. (After this dialogue, whole class fell in long silence again. And no one dared to ask any further query. Soon after few more minutes class was over) THE END - Gaurav Singh, Electrical Saurabh Srivastava, Electronics Souradeep Mitra, Electrical Sumit Kr Gupta, Instrumentation 45 Birthday at TSH Date: 29/8/2013 Time:12:00 am rd th Venue: 3 & 4 floor st Event: 1 birthday Breaking news: Birthday in BARC training school and that too on the Girls' floor!! We were formally invited for the party and I was expecting a boring get-together where we had to hug the birthday girl and to present her a formal 2-3 line speech. Hence, I prepared a speech full of blessings and wishes. After all I was anxious to make a good impression more on the audience as a whole and less on the st birthday girl because it was my 1 interaction with the hostel mates. Truly speaking, if you present these lines at my birthday then you will definitely receive one suicide note the next morning with reason consumption of overdosed boredom. Let's get back to the topic. We all gathered at the shubh mahurat i.e. 12:00am. I chose one corner of the birthday girl's room and was sinking into an ocean of deep thoughts where no buoyancy was acting to take me out. In a monotonous manner we sang 'The Birthday Anthem' followed by the conventional steps. I had a woofer and was about to ask, Can we play some songs? Before I could even dare to speak a word, one came to me and politely said hey! and according to the Newton's Third Law, I bounced back the same reply. She asked for my woofer. My eyes popped out of my specs in wonder. I lent my woofer with a heavy heart as if a part of my soul was going out to a new world. I didn't know which cultural song my woofer was to amplify. I could only see how it was begging, please, save me . After 5 minutes of silence suddenly it started shouting angrezi beat de and before I could figure, all of them turned into performers and then 'sheela, munni' put enough positive reactivity to make all these girls prompt critical. The atmosphere was almost exploding! Boss, you simply imagine, after a blood sucking day at HBNI this eclectic episode was not at all a defined function in my domain. I was pleasantly shocked! The whole birthday party had no error, no discontinuity. Everything was just perfect! Energy level reached the highest limits! It did not require any external force to sustain them. A different personality rose from each of them. MJ, umraojan (:P) would never had thought about their existence in this supposedly boring community. I was amazed at the scene I was witnessing. After 2 o'clock the party dispersed and we all went to our dream lands. This episode changed my perception about the nerdy scientist community for the rest of my life. Next morning, I woke up with a different view for each one of them. As I entered the class, my mind was continuously rewinding the night episode as if the party was still on my mind. Each of the inmates was looking the opposite of what they had appeared last night. But I was feeling happy. This is because I had invented a new theory for the people around me where you can find the perfect combination of intellect with joyousness. Finally I went to the birthday girl and wished her Happy birthday. - Suprabha Singh Electrical Picture Courtesy: Internet 46 Never Ever In The TSH! 1. Be Note less: No matter how much sharp you are in understanding the concepts, the ground reality is that if you don't have a proper record of what has been taught in the class or have a friend who can lend you his/her notes, you are bound to get ensnared in the whirlpool. But be ready to shed your weight and money for going to the Xerox shop at Hastinapur. 2. Be previous year question paper-less: No matter how less/ more you know about the subject, if you have solved the previous year papers, then nobody can stop you from securing good marks. And if you are lucky enough, then you can find the exact replica of the question in your exam. 3. Attempt to skip a class: The first eight months of the training school is literally a rat race. You are absent one day (and not smart enough to get a proxy), your marks+ stipend+ coursework, all is gone by one casual leave. 4. Criticize the mess food: Learn to follow stupid rules like one can't take more than two cubes of butter. The mess people will fool with you till the first semester as they have been doing till ages. Then one fine day, after numerous trials and errors, the menu will change and you will be able to have a digestible food. But the gourmet amongst us will still be lamenting. 5. Ask for the Luxury Items: Asking a washing machine per floor or rather a water cooler will be a tough nut to crack. You must adapt yourselves to such conditions/ situations and not beat about the bush with the authorities. 6. Be Iron/ Laptop/ Kettle/ Smartphone/ Internet Dongle-less: The above mentioned things are nothing less than your saviours. But if you are among those who can manage to either borrow/ beg / steal it from your friend's place, then no problems. 7. Wear only jeans on your birthday night: At least wear some pyjama/ lower/ another pair of jeans if you don't want to regret later. Shoes/ Chappals/ Belts/ bats will be caressing you after the cake cutting ceremony. 8. Expect great Library/ Sports Services: The Sports room more of a Visitors place than a hosteller's. In between numbers exhibitions/ events/ seminars/ days where there are no racquets etc, finding yourself playing in the sports room is a dream come true. The TSH library is more of a reading room than a place where one issues books or gets some stuff photocopied. 9. Remain Reclusive: Be gregarious. Make friends and be amicable. Friends are the ones who will help you through thick and thin. The friends made here will be there for the rest of our lives. 10. Expect great vacancies: Throughout the year many people will give you lots of hope and lots of encouragement but ultimately the real boss is the Director. 11. Expect scientists to be boring: They are some of coolest and the most interesting bunch of peoples you will ever come by. - Tarun Chugh Electrical Picture Courtesy: Internet 47 - Anushri Jain, Computer Science Mogli got selected as 'Trainee Scientific Officer', On his Google account was moving the cursor. Suddenly an advertising window popped up, Asking do you want to connect with Aliya Bhatt. Phir kya tha Mogli ke man me ladoo foota, Chhod google account popup ki taraf toota. Next moment he was asked for gmail id and password, Thinking about 'Aliya' he just wanted to move forward. Akhirkar BARC ke scientist ki ID hui hack, Or media ko toh mil gya jaise koi mega pack. Khabar ye media ne prime time me dikhayi, Ultimately Mogli and BARC dono ki watt lagayi. There was not a single trace of Nuclear on his ID, But Mogli ke sath toh ho gyi thi perfect tragedy. Dilemma was, Kya Karen kahan jae boss ko samjhane 'excuses' kahan se layen. Kaha gya tha 'Gmail' nhi 'BARC ID' use karna, Agar Trusted ho site certificate to hi aage badna. Ek ek karkesecurity workshop ke lessons yad ane lage, 'Virus' 'Malware' 'Worms' sab sath milke darane lage. Antivirus, firewall, public key are not sufficient, You should remain aware that is more important. Jab media me apni kartuton ka vivaran paya, Tab BARC ke 'strategic' word ka matlab samajh aya. Aliya ka bulawa lagne laga Terminaion letter, Yad ane lagi boss ke sath hui sari khatar-patar Chhod apas ki Master Slave wali pratha, At last aj to banani thi boss ki tarifo ki katha. Doston ke sath share kiye the NUCLEAR related jokes, Socha na tha Media will interpret them as terrorist codes. Boss bole the using 'SO/C' se 'OS' ke safar ka experience, Don't use words in chat which attract attention. Mana Gmail pe research work share karne ki thi manahi, Research jaisa kuch kiya hi nhi share kaise karenge bhai !!! Galtiyon se li sikh, na dohrane ki khayi kasam; Bina galati kiye, kyon na Mogli se sikhen hum. Don't remain unaware, know security aspects, Start your career, with lots of best wishes CyBeR SeCuRiTy @ BARC Picture Courtesy : Internet 48 EXPERIENCES IN TRAINING SCHOOL The BARC job offer letter arrived. When I received the letter, it was a good news, but I was not sure whether joining the organization would be good for me. A little surfing on the internet, interaction with professors and friends convinced me to a fair degree that it is a good job and that I should choose it over the other job which I had in my hand. So I decided to join BARC as a Trainee. Come August 2014, I would be completing this journey called BARC Training Program and would be absorbed into what we call the 'DAE family'. This sojourn here in Training School has produced so many occasions of fun and frolic and made me experience so many new things that they will always remain as memories to cherish throughout my life. Being a fresher, I had expected things to be the same in Training School as well and over and above I had a lot of expectations from the organization. For the starters, I preferred a single room as I was used to the luxury of single occupant rooms for the last four years of engineering. I also wanted a good data connection and LAN connectivity as I am very used to these facilities and never still believe I can live without them. But I had come prepared for the worst also. On arriving here, we had a small briefing where the Director, BARC addressed us. I remember him saying that while studying is very important, don't take training school all that seriously and get lost in the academia. Enjoy your stay here as well. It appears to me that I did neglect the former part and only latched on to the latter part of enjoying. To my expectations, I got a single occupancy room nearly twice the size I had lived before in college, and an internet browsing center to browse and keep myself updated. That meant good accommodation, freedom to watch movies, TV series, matches, listening to music and pursue my hobbies without disturbing the others around. The other trainees soon became good friends. It was deja-vu all over again. A new hostel life was underway and I have always enjoyed it. Food and notes were not the only things we exchanged. We also physically exchanged hard-disks, for TV series and Movies and we became the so called the 'seeders and leachers' of our network. That circumvented the need f or LAN connec t i vi t y. Per s onal introduction was a window to get to know other peoples interests and to participate in those activities of common interest.
During these interactions, I discovered an assortment of people. I discovered many players, cricketers being the most common. I found many liking the same TV series and some football fans. I have also found Dexter, Teen Wolf, and the all famous Sherlock fans and we regularly watch them together. I have a close knit of football friends, a Liverpool fan with whom I enjoy watching matches with and an Arsenal fan to poke fun at when his team loses. When the latter feels that I am going to poke fun at him, he beats me by the punch by talking about the loss my team had. It is all in a very positive attitude that we discuss football and enjoy the game week in and week out. I also enjoyed practicing with the BARC football team. They have been immensely responsible in improving my style of play, my technical ability and i mprovi ng my confi dence. Another memorable outcome that has happened through this endeavor was that I had a chance to play in the inter-departmental football tournament. To pull on the No.9 jersey and play at that level was not something I had ever imagined to have happened. I had never quite held a Table tennis racquet before coming here. I started playing the game and now I feel I can play fairly well though I personally would like to improve a lot more. In my childhood, I learnt to play the violin and did indulge in some jamming sessions in college. However, nothing positive really came out of it. Here in Training School also we have formed a band. Initially I was a little reluctant to join, but the support and encouragement given by the other band members has helped me in bringing out the latent talent in me and we work together for performing on the stage. I will cherish these 49 memories always. Birthdays and festivals were just as fun and the birthday bumps were just as painful as they used to be. The surprise gifts were the consolation after the blitzkrieg attack onto our bottoms. The DJs that we used to organize in my floor were a platform for even the most reticent of individuals to open up and express themselves freely. Though I have only spoken all along about extra- curricular activities, one may wonder if I ever studied. Yes, I did on the night before exams. I have kept the tradition of eleventh hour preparation and lived up to my expectations. I secured a modest mid table rank and I am pleased with the division I am going to join. There have been moments of large successes as well, especially those areas in which I have always had a passion to learn. The efforts of many of my friends have gone into getting that result. The group study and question solving sessions has helped each other and especially me. Thei r contri buti on wi l l al ways be remembered. This journey has been a revelation of my abilities and my true interests. I have been able to utilize my time here effectively in improving myself overall. It wouldn't have been possible without opportunities and the environment provided by the BARC and the Training School. Today I can undoubtedly say that I am better than before. A lot of individuals, friends and faculty have been influential in whatever little bit I have achieved here, so that they will always be remembered. This was just my story but I am sure everyone who has gone through the Training School will have a similar story to say. My journey doesn't end here. I still have a few more months here to learn or do something new. Who knows you could find me on the perch of a tree with an SLR round my neck or in a swimsuit learning to swim! 1. The Alarming Situation: You don't have to use alarms here. Either you get so used to intermittent false alarms that you are totally unperturbed when your alarm rings or you are so bugged by it that you are already awake the whole night. 2. The Unwanted Guests: No matter where you hide you food-in the cupboard, or the drawers, monkeys will have their best time when they are in the mood to celebrate. 3. The Biased Lift: The lift will never stop at your floor when its going down but it will always stop when its going up (Girls: O) 4. Strict Timings: Library tests your nocturnal abilities when you are totally resolved on a weekend and you reach there only to find a reference copy. 5. The Blinking Hope: The LAN ports in your room and the consistently blinking lights of the WiFi routers installed all over the place always give you the false hope that one fine day you will be able to access the internet right there sitting on your bed comfortably. Don't worry, TSH mein der hai, andher nahi. 6. Those Delicious Dishes: Mana ki doosro ki thali main hamesha ghee zada dikhta hai, par yahan to bahut kuch zada dikhta hai. If you look at others' (I mean, guests) plate, you will never be able to eat another bite from your own. 7. The Natual Beauty: No matter how tired you are, how bagged down by the load of studies you get, the scenic beauty of the campus and the luxurious rooms will drive you away. 8. The Longing Attachment: And the last but not the least, no matter what you say about the place, you will always miss it right from the day you leave it. - Vinayak Vishwanathan Chemical Some Facts about TSH - Pragya Mehta Chemical 50 And finally... I thought of writing on some heated topics in our magazine like research and development, Communism, political India, education, Nuclear India and so on. But finally I came to the conclusion that writing on such topics would end up in plagiarism which as a scientist we should not encourage ourselves. So here I want to share with you some thoughts and experiences I had in the Training School. I believe that reasonable thinking and critical questioning are the ways by which we can upgrade our knowledge and hence pave the way to the scientific development of the nation. Putting up a big dream and working for its achievement is what matters the most. There is no dream which cannot be achieved and there is no question which remains unanswered. The universe is the solution to everything. It is our duty to discover the hidden story behind the phenomenon and invent the most efficient solution. People of the country have laid in us the responsibility to serve them by fruitful scientific researches which would ultimately lead to their upliftment. We should always understand that whatever we have learned here is not only for our personal benefit but also for the nation as a whole for it is the people's money on which we live. So we must do our work with passion regardless of where we are posted. The fire alarms which reminds of its presence whenever it feels, the Wi-Fi router which displays all colors, the lift for which 2 out of 3 concept always work, the photocopying machine which goes out of order exactly during exam days, 2 clocks at the ground floor which never display the Indian standard time, the sports room for which the height is such Thoughts; Experiences; that most of the times the badminton shuttle hits the ceiling, etc. are some of the auxiliary features of Training School Hostel. Potato filled items are one of the main features of its mess. Our compound has been an active habitat for lots of monkeys. I am happy to announce that some of my friends have discovered a 'philosophical monkey' which sits at north-west corner of our building. Our courses in training school revolve around the major two events which occurred in the world in recent past, Fukushima accident and LHC experiment. It was like once you know these, then you are through. To me TSH is one of the destinations in India where actually the concept of unity in diversity exists. We have been here for one year knowing and respecting each other's culture, tradition and languages. We are going to miss some of them as they are posted far from us. At some point of time we will recognize that the days spent here were some of the most beautiful in our life. Friends, as we are supposed to be the most intelligent section of the society and as people who earn far more than an average individual, it would be a great help if we could give a helping hand to at least one among the million people who cannot satisfy his/ her basic needs in life.

For some, dreams are cradled in its merciful hands and for some; they are ripped off to rubble. Fate changes here with every passing second, where persons flying are thrown down, and where downtrodden reach heights. In this mysterious ocean overloaded with ambitions of people, there is competition of thoughts and every thought process is weighed and scaled by super mind of Mumbai. What should be said of those rainy days we arrived here first, as if we were received with yearning eyes drenched in tears of love. Romantically inspiring were the strolls down the roads in the campus to the extent that it cajoles one to come in its lap again. Interview results out, I told Nazir, dearest friend of mine, darling Mumbai is calling back, i got selected. Exuberance filled the atmosphere followed by calmness implying agony of separation, meanwhile, Sajad (friend with whom i always debate on mystical and philosophical topics) reciting Rumi's mystical metaphors in his usual motivating way trying his best to allay the feeling of separation erupting in Nazir's heart, at least temporarily. Things were turning emotional; tears almost welled down my eyes which I somehow managed to control. Night came, every one slept with calmness. I looked at the face of Nazir, so pious and so innocent; tomarrow onwards who would supplant his inspiring face, I said to myself. Mind was burning with thoughts of expectations, heart was agonising in love. Stars solacing my grief by twinkling, moon looked at me with smiling face as if someone with selfsame moony face is waiting for me since long to calm my agony in her lap, with this hope I slept driving my soul into the world of beautiful dreams. Tomorrow morning I stood on the platform waiting for the train that possibly would change my journey, leaving to a place I don't know anyone. Train arrived and I boarded on, turning back to Nazir, who with a faint smile somehow managed on his lips bade me farewell and I left to find hope in Mumbai. With full congestion, the roads probably around the Poshbag, gave first glimpse of what would be the future life here. I somehow waded through and reached to MTS; room was allotted on temporary basis and I have to share it with Ashu. We had fruitful deliberations about marriage, love, infatuation, relationships and of course speculation of beauties we going to face and much more. while sitting in supine position on the chair, thinking useless things; at least for now, observing outside. Suddenly I caught sight of one beautiful girl dressed like kashmiri pheren, long tunics which almost touched the ground, of green colour with shaded of some other colour. I was immediately smitten, I told Ashu that future is colourful waiting for me. Next day in LHM I saw her again, this time closely; more appropriately she stood beside me. She looked like a fairy dancing in blooming Tulip garden of Srinagar, I saw mystery in her sunken eyes, oh! They were like Dal Lake and I drowned in them and sacrificed my life. Her eyebrows were like Tipu sultan's sword just killing me in a single jolt, or like a bow targeting Arjun's arrow from her doe-eyes piercing my heart. Her face glittering with divine light illuminating me with lessons of love. Her ivory neck decorated with necklace, held upright for my lips to touch her jugular, to infuse feeling of love in her every sigh. Her glossy hair drifted with a slight breeze annoying her face by shading it, sparing it from outside wicked eyes. She suddenly caught my gaze, glanced away with imperceptible smile on her lips. She already had sown seeds of love in my heart to flourish as time passes. In the meantime one verse of Momin (poet) came to my mind: (O! beloved when you are with me i feel As if no one exists except you) Dusk approached, fading her face away from my eyes. I entered my room, quite spacious for one year to live. In spite of bitterness of its mystery, memory of first love stirs one's ebers of imagination. Hundreds of nights passed in solitude, now it started transforming into happy moments filled with music from her lips, like poetry of real life seeping from ears to heart. I find secrets of love revealing itself. Through her own beauty, she taught me to worship it, to admire it, to crave for it. Midnight burned with these imaginations, I woke up at dawn filled with the feeling of love Tum mere pass hote ho goya Jab koi doosra nahein hota 53 nurturing in my heart, with agony of craving I felt in night, and hope of divine accord between our hearts cemented with love. Days passed on, feeling of breeze filled with perfume of her hair as if coming through romantic snowy Gulmarg started soothing me in this scorching heat. Did my soul reach out to, oh! I don't know her name yet; let us call her Pari (fairy), Pari of my dreams, on the day we met. Was it love, or intoxication of youth which fancied me? Did my youth blind me, did I get enchanted by her bright eyes or grace of her figure. Did I get entangled in her serpentine locks; these questions are hard to answer yet. Every time I saw her, new chapter of beauty unfolded before my eyes. Love transforms one's life transcends one from this material world to world of heavens, said one mystic. Isn't it an infatuation, am I not in delusion, or aren't her momentary glances full of caprice, minds always boggles me down. Look I forgot to mention about my other routine work, i.e. attending classes, of course with generous, intelligent and polite people. Among them, DJP with his astute and keen looks on PPTs always would find mistakes days in and out. Some of them sleeping, some pretending to be active and some really active. Mine condition, eyes on board, thoughts with Pari, fingers busy in scribbling down poetic verses, body in class room, soul visualising her. Scared of deceptive looks, I wonder for the innocence of Pari. My mind against my heart, I consoled myself by reciting Dr. Iqbal's verse as quote: (Mind has information only, to command Heart sooths by beloved's blessed glance) Remembering one discussion with my mysteriously genius friend Syed Aaftab, love is verb not noun, i.e. you have to do love, no longer to live in world of fancies. Anything at infancy has a threat of infliction of damage, so has my love. I waited for the flower of love to exfoliate, waited for its fragrance, and longing for its blossom. One day I turn dubious of her quivering eyes, as love scares of nothing and it above all rights and wrongs, does not alter and finds its own ways, I visualised Shakespeare saying as: Love is not love Khirad ko khabar ke siva kuch nhein Tera ilaj nazar ke siva kuch nhein which alters when it alteration finds, or bends with a remover to remove. O no! it is an ever fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken. These verses solaced me, strengthens my shoulders to hold unbelievable weight of love. It was already late, DJP called me for dinner and we tried to manage our comfort on otherwise uncomfortable chairs of mess, we took di nner and i n the meanti me Ni shant, unconventional lover, came and I persuaded him to come outside to walk down to Mughal road; as DJP could not come due to his unusual crunch with breeze which otherwise is pleasant for all barring him. We sat at the foot of kohi-hijra (mountain of loneliness) and I told Nishant, how much I can trust Pari; As much as you can, she won't deride you, and you would always find her among the best trustworthy persons you possibly could have, said Nishant with full emotional voice. Then let me put myself into her able hands, to get glorified in the path of love or slid into the abysmal of dejection. Nishant in an unusual way interrupted and gently said; explain to me slowly, so that i could imbibe every word of love, so that i could drink every drop of this heavenly wine, so that its drunkenness could reflect from my deserted eyes, so that its dew could quench thirst of my parched lips, so that its breeze could sooth my burning heart, explain my friend, explain.. i am ready to embrace love, I long for it, I yearn for it. I could feel the restlessness in my friend's heart, and i never probed for it. I reclined on smooth rock and kept silence for some time; I then started to open my heart and started explaining Nishant. Love is sworn in heavens and nurtured in the hearts of lovers, it passes from beloved's heart to the loved one, and it is contagious and intoxicating. Love originates from heavens and has its roots in the core of universe; the essence of the universe is love. Every morsel of this universe is accorded with the force of love, wherever you find harmony, you would find love and wherever you find animosity, and you would find lack of love. Love reduces ego to dust and fills the heart with compassion and forgiveness, and at the same time it uplifts one's being and honours him above angels. A person in love feels this whole universe immersed in him and yet he remains down to earth. Love always drenches one's eyes with tears, with power of every tear drop to drown this whole universe. A person in love always have downcast eyes poised to look at this world of distrust and 54 conflagrate it with its flare, but still burns to ashes in the fire of its own passions. Love transforms souls and enlightens one with heavenly light. The lover renounces in desolation and suffers pains for beloved's sake, testifying its selflessness and attribute of altruistic nature. Love causes one to burn midnights in remembrance of beloved, and yet guides him along deceits of day. Love compels one to smile while heart is agonising. Love sooths the restless heart by mere glance of beloved. Love makes one restless upon departing of beloved. Love is calmness in chaos, yet makes lover restless for beloved. Love seals lover's lips in silence, and yet makes him cry in isolation. Love casts smile on lover's face even in destitution. A lover always feels rich, in spite of having nothing; as he has priceless gift of love. A lover would live for love, die for love and be glorified in the path of love. It is late and we must leave, I urged Nishant. But he in his broken voice and with a sullen face as if some storm has washed away the fragrance of youth from it replied, Ok! We must... You can't expect the snow getting absorbed into hard stone, similarly, one can't expect influence of love on stony heart, you have to crush that stone to powder first, true love has got the power to do it, advice from my mystic friend Sajad, who still searches the unity of existence in this universe at NDRI. As love changed you from inside, it gets reflected from outlook and Pari's eyes reflect the same. I could now see the feeling of longing in her eyes; I could feel the flutter in her heart. Time went on faster, agonising me with fire of passion. One day around late afternoon in DS, while my eyes were deserted, as they had bled every drop of blood for her, my throat completely dry after continuous crying and craving, my lips parched, I slowly looked at her with my heart throbbing. As my eyes contacted, her eyes turned downcast; she stood for a moment with lips trembling, slightly drifting away that prim of hair (Kakul) disturbing her face, she lift her eyes gradually, quivering them away instantly as she could not sustain direct contact for long, due to, O! I couldn't guess, may be modesty. I could imagine Sharukh and Kajol's romantic scene running in slow motion. With a sudden blush tingeing her cheeks like a Kashmiri apple, she opened her lips in an instant smile showing her glittering teeth, opening up her lips like rose petals blooming, as there are so like, and filling the atmosphere round us with heavenly perfume. She gradually drifted away with the warmth of love spreading her nerves. I stood there for a moment relishing that moment and emblazing my heart with these memories. Suddenly at the end of the corridor, she stopped momentarily, tried to turn back, but couldn't at first, then suddenly she glanced with sparkling eyes, may be teary eyes as I could not see far from. I realised, a moment of love is worth centuries of separation. I could understand the agony Pari was through, which Jigar (poet) described best: (Don't think Ishq to be simple, oh! dear River of fire it is, pass through while drown) In that river of fire we were both crawling, with almost no hope of destination. Forgive me, love itself is an admirable destination. Our hearts communicated without opening our lips, eyes reflected its own stories of experience, and every sigh of ours testified the truth of our love, our beings uplifted to nothing other than embodiment of love. Close to the prescribed time given by nature to us for love, we transcended that to eternity. Ours bodies may be parted, our souls are united. We may be haunted, there is always love to solace us. Pari had a tinge of anxiety shaded on her face, implying lots of things. She could dictate a book of ghazals (poems) through her eyes in a single glance, but now full of sorrow. I could not translate her glances into words, but as my emotions erupting through my eyes, the drop of tears fell on the paper changed to words read as: Ye ishq nhein aasan bas itna samaj lijie Ik aag ka darya hai aur doob ke jana hai I pined for you long, O beloved I yearned for you, here and there In Dal lake, Nishat, in valley of love Come my beloved I long for you I smelled your fragrance, you are near Come with a dagger and pierce my heart Inflicted pain I take blessing from you Come my beloved, I long for you. - Sarver Ahmed, Biosciences 55 Paradox Me Not If God is all-powerful and can do anything, can he create a rock he himself can't lift? Both sides of the argument seem equally compel l i ng, but are si mul taneousl y impossible. That impossibility lies at the heart of paradoxes; a mysterious set of statements which fascinate, puzzle and perplex, leaving you no peace till you can explain them. Until then, this helps: Contradictions don't exist. If you find one, check your assumptions, and one of them will be wrong. -Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand. As fresh entrants into science, it is imperative to develop clear, logical thought that remains untarnished by wrong assumptions. Indeed, science itself has a huge set of paradoxes (several resolved now) the hydrostatic paradox, the twin paradox, the EPR paradox, the tea-leaves paradox to name just a few. To all of them, the same rules apply no wrong assumptions + no bad logic => no paradox. Here are some of the common paradoxes in the field of Mathematics: 1. Consider three biased die A, B and C. If A is more likely to throw up a larger number than B, and B is more likely to throw up a larger number than C, then A must obviously be likely to throw up a number larger than C, right? After all, probabilities are numbers, and the transitive law (if A>B and B>C, then A>C) should hold. Not quite. Assume this biasing: A has sides {2,2,4,4,9,9}, B has sides {1,1,6,6,8,8}, and C has sides {3,3,5,5,7,7} Work out the probabilities (using the simple favorable events/total events approach), lo and behold! P(A>B) =0.55 P(B>C)=0.55 P(C>A)=0.55 0.55 > 0.5, making the event : 'A will throw up a greater number than C' unfavorable! Once you've broken out the maths and convinced yourself of its validity, let's analyze our incorrect assumption. Probabilities are numbers, but they don't represent absolute magnitudes. Rather, they are a relation between two events. Now, while magnitudes are always transitive, relations need not be (basic set-relation theory). Comparing A to B and B to C is fine singly, but they can't be combined because they are independent, separate relations. So here our wrong assumption was that any numbers will follow the transitive law. 2. Now let's move from mathematical to logical. Consider a town, where some men shave themselves, and only the men who don't shave themselves are shaved by the town barber. So, does the barber shave himself? We reach the absurd conclusion, that the barber shaves himself only if he doesn't shave himself! Two approaches explain this paradox. Firstly, it's clear that the barber is distinct from all other men. After all, one man doesn't go to any other man for a shave, only the town barber welcomes him in. Hence, it's illogical to club barber and non-barber with regard to shaving. The second approach assumes that this clubbing is done and justified. It follows the reductio ad absurdum principle, which falsifies any assumption that leads to an absurd conclusion. And so, very simply, such a town is impossible.
3. One of the oldest known paradoxes is the th case of Protagoras, a teacher of law in the 5 century BC. Once his students became lawyers, their earnings from their first case would go to him as fee for instruction. This arrangement worked very well, until one particular student failed to get any clients. The impatient (and hungry) Protagoras decided to sue his former pupil for the amount due to him. If he won, he would get the money as pronounced by the court. If he lost, then 56 the pupil had won his first case, and he could claim the money as fee. Either way, Protagoras saw himself getting his rightful fee. The pupil, however, turned to be equally wily and declared that if he won the case, the court would deem it unnecessary for him to pay. If he lost the case, the previous agreement would come into relevance, and again, he wouldn't pay.
Who was true? We have another paradox on our hands, with both sides equally compelling. On more careful analysis, it seems that the teacher will get justice. The event of him suing the student for should be viewed as independent from the fee payment, even if the amounts are equal. The point of this article, however, is not simply to present interesting paradoxes it is also to interest and encourage the reader to solve them for him/herself. With that in mind, let's go back to the initial God Paradox (the quote that began this article). Can reasoning it out prove the inexistence of an omnipotent god? - B. Aashranth Metallurgy Picture Courtesy: Internet Start Where You Stand Old failures will not halt, old triumphs aid, Today's the thing, tomorrow soon will be; Get in the fight and face it unafraid, And leave the past to ancient history, What has been, has been; yesterday is dead And by it you are neither blessed nor banned Take courage, be brave and drive ahead, start where you stand. - Gargi Bindal, Biosciences Illustration: Swati Hayaran Das, Electronics Start where you stand and never mind for the past, The past won't help you in beginning new, If you have left it all behind at last Why that's enough, you're done will it, you're through; This is a another chapter in the book, This is a another race you have planned, Don't give the vanished days a backward look, Start where you stand.

Nature has defined universal laws for everyone. Her approach and methodology is not confined to the boundaries asserted by the two apparently exclusive of each other fields The Science and The Spirituality. In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it." : Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Problem statement: Emergence of Boundary Lets try to seek and accomplish solution to the most important question for any life. A question that emanates with the birth of a life and rests with its demise. A question that keeps buzzing c o n s c i o u s l y o r s u b - consciously through the various stages of life. The question is: Is life Scientific or Spiritual? There are no two sets of different laws of nature. Nature, who is the mother of everything that exist in this universe, doesn't regulate individually in terms of either science or spirituality. Her formulation, her system's approach is one. Yet we human beings have made classification, formed categories and separated nature's modus operandi into two. On the one side we put scientific organizations, calculative, discrete bend of mind people and on the other side we put spiritual organizations, traditional, religious bend of mind people. This culminates into an untold battle between the representatives and believers of both categories, the battle of taking credit for the progressiveness of the Humanity. An inexplicable attempt runs for bel i ttl i ng and non- acknowl edgi ng the contributions of each other towards serving Humanity. Thus it's a picture of stark contrast, less uniformity, more confusion and overall low confidence. Keynote Scientific inventions have played a key role in the progressiveness of our society. But these inventions are not all milk and roses, there are dark areas to it affecting humans on a daily basis like health, brutally changing lifestyles, too much mechani zati on whi ch i s virtually replacing the soft human values. Further many s ci ent i s t s / r at i onal i s t s proclaim a god less model of the universe and as per their approach, there exists nothing like 'Ultimate aim of a life'. This ideology focuses on the time line of the life and speaks about need/desire based aims of the present life. However, neither does it recognize the overall/ultimate purpose of any life form nor it believes in the 'concept of rebirth'. They say that even the existence of life on this planet or elsewhere can't be attributed to some great holy mission as against religious philosophy. On the other side, many spiritual leaders or believers claim to having been perfected the cause, the purpose of life and are always ready to profess and ? 58 Picture Courtesy : Internet detail the structure, motive and organization of god/central power. However the unanimously accepted role of spirituality has been towards inspiring, nurturing and preserving human values, cultures & traditions. The Dilemma Now the difficultly comes to a common man for maintaining himself non-partisan in this biggest debate. S/he is asked to join either of the two camps. No matter, how neutral one tries to be, the field which both exert is too strong to resist by many. However, the situation is still easier for those who join one and also for those who are confident & strong enough to rise above all this. But those who stay in dilemma, employ a large chunk of their time and resources in figuring out the things and mostly find themselves landed into the worst. Repercussions Sensing the situation, many people/groups emerge to take advantage and play havoc. Most of the time, they claim/behave as if they have taken a kind of franchise in some specific field on behalf of scientific groups or spiritual groups. Then starts their programme of exploitation with the tool at their disposal. Examples of such irresponsible behavior have been observed and experienced by many. In the name of science, areas affected are : reckless industrialization, exploitation & negl ecti on towards nature, haphazard experimental genetic & nuclear engineering etc. While in the name of Spirituality, issues are: Misuse in the name of religion, customs and culture, superstitions, hypothetical concepts etc. Solution: Empowerment by Truth ? ?

In moments of happiness, on occasions of agony When the gloom came around and none was abound I was always with you. When you laughed and grinned, when you cried and whined I was always with you. When the bloom just shines and all dine and wine I was always with you. The moments of loneliness, the era of solitude In the desert of exclude, I was always with you. When you stand tall in the light, Beyond from the bright I just touched the ground beneath you, without you knowing I was always with you.

When you climbed the ladder and scored a ten When you ran fast, feeling me a burden I was always with you. When the sun left you and rays had gone When the bright was dull and praise were vein When the spring had gone and leaves had withered When the relations got cold and friends withered When the light went away and the darkness arose When thrones came along without a single rose I was always with you.

Plenty of miseries have been faced by me, In my case sorrows are set free, Life appears as a long exile, All I need is reason to smile. Laughter has remained miles away, Life has been meant only to pray, Even giggling doesn't stay for a while, All I need is reason to smile. What to do next is unanswerable, The results of present turn out miserable, Efforts fail to bring a change in life, All I need is reason to smile. All improvements seem to go in vain, Tears are shed like falling rain, Walk with me that extra mile, All I need is reason to smile. - Rahul Tripathi Mechanical All I Need... Picture Courtesy : Internet 60 The Great Indian Misunderstanding One of t he mos t i mpor t ant characteristic of the Vedic Sanskrit is that a single word may have multiple connotations. This may be advantageous from the poetic point of view as numerous figures of speech may be incorporated in a single shloka. In spite of that, the multiple interpretation quality can lead to many misunderstandings that may prove detrimental to the health of the individual or society as a whole. One of the most famous shlokas of the Yajurveda is the following It is a beautiful Shloka incorporating different figures of speech like personification, puns and of course metaphors but it is one of the misinterpreted shlokas of the Vedas. This shloka is a part of the Purush Sukta which explains how the society must be structured for it to function properly. It explains the need for division of labour and thus lays the foundation of the Indian Caste system. One may interpret it as the Brahman originated from the God's brain, Kshatriya from the God's hands, Vaishya from the God's stomach and Shudra from the God's legs. So Brahman and Kshatriya form the upper class and the rest are lower class. And only the upper class are allowed to enjoy all the luxuries and privileges of the society and the lower caste should be oppressed. It has also been said that if someone commits a lot of sins in this birth then he/she is born as a member of the lower oppressed castes based on the degree of sins committed. But the person may have forgotten that to find out the true meaning of a word in the Vedic Sanskrit one has to go by the meaning of the word root. If one goes by this rule then the Shloka means that all the different Varnas(Castes) are part of a single body called the God. The Brahman forms the brain, Kshatriya forms the hand, Vaishya forms the Brahmanoasya mukhamasi da bahu rajanyakritah. Uru tadasya yadvaishya padabhyam kshudro ajayat. (31.11) stomach and Shudra forms the legs. For the proper functioning of the whole body, each of its components must function properly. It is emphasising equal importance of all the c as t es . Thus , t he t wo di f f er ent interpretations made here are poles asunder. This misinterpretation has led to the suffering of millions of Indians. It has got so much deeply embedded into the society that even now we are reluctant to correct it. This is the tragedy of our nation. Throughout the Vedas equality in the society has been repeatedly stressed. The following Shloka illustrates this The above Shloka states that all the four Varna should live with harmony and with love. The main goal of each Varna is to serve the society and none other than that and each of them has equal role in the creation of a healthy society. It also states that every individual irrespective of one's Varna has to discover one's soul i.e. self-realisation. Even in Manusmriti it has been stated that
Above Shloka says that a Shudra can become a Brahman by acquiring knowledge (Brahma gyan), merit, virtuous life etc. Thus, anyone from any caste can become a member of other caste through one's Karma and Guna. Thus, the Shloka signifies the flexibility of the caste system. Even though we say that the Vedas are the ultimate source of all the knowledge we generally tend to take the wrong knowledge. Priyam ma krnu devesu priyam rajasu ma krnu, priyam sarvasya pasyata uta sudra utarye. (Atharva Veda 19-62-1) Shudro brahmanatameti brahmanashchaiti shudratam. Kshatriyanjalamevamtu - vidyadvaishyattathaiva cha. (Manusmriti 10/65) 61 Thus, the caste system which was primarily developed for proper functioning of the society becomes a tool for oppression of people for many centuries. According to the Gita, we are born divine i.e. in the purest form and gain Moksha (self- fulfilment) by performing the Karma which we love the most. It does not matter to which caste the Karma belongs, a teaching which is unique to the Vedas. Sadly, we have forgotten the true meaning of the teachings and engaged ourselves in oppression of the so- cal l ed l ower castes. I f such mi s- interpretations had not been taken by us then at present we would have become the true superpower of the world. It is true that India is rich in philosophy, knowledge and tradition but for the development of a society only philosophy, knowledge and tradition is not important. For prosperity we need professionals which traditionally formed the lower castes. Thus, they didn't get the freedom to implement the gained knowledge to practical use. Thus, the technological advancement of the society was hindered. We also exploited the Shudras who keep the society clean and thus protect us from various deadly diseases and preventing epidemics. Hence, the public health never improved. But in spite of such misinterpretations and shortcomings, India as a whole has been able to overcome many technological strides, some of which has taken the world by awe. Even though most of Europe and America were devastated by the Economic Crisis, India has seen minor repercussions. Even though reactors in India were not designed for tsunamis, it was able to survive one without any problem. This tells us one thing that still nothing has been lost. Still we can come back into the world scene as a technologically advanced and developed country. So, it is an earnest appeal to the youth of India to put back all the caste, creed, gender and religious differences and work harmoniously towards the Indian success.

Thomas Jefferson Human Being is indeed a very selfish creation. When he/she gains something he/she celebrates and when something is snatched away from him he/she laments. The same can be seen when a new life comes out from the womb of the mother into existence and when some of our loved ones depart to the heavenly abode. But why do we celebrate life and express sorrow in death? The answer may be that life signifies karma, passion, vivacity, progress whereas death epitomizes end, decline and nullity. But what's the use of a life which is not exemplifying the above mentioned things but is in deep pain, agony and torment. What do you think about a life where there is no chance to recuperate as per the medical science and death seems to be the only peaceful option? We are sometimes taught that pain is good. No Pains no gains. It is said that pain broadens the peripheries of our endurance and makes us ask for more. A student would like to study for some more time and bear some more pain because he/she knows that the end result would be in his/her favor, similarly a fighter would continue to endure for a longer time to win the battle. But what about those who have lost all hopes and are suffering from excruciating pains and medically no scope of their recovery exists. Do they deserve to suffer more of this writhing pain or should they be relieved .The dilemma exists and so the controversy behind euthanasia, which can be defined as a deliberate intervention undertaken with express ion of intention of ending of a life, to relieve the uncontrollable suffering. If a person is in profound excruciating pain and it is difficult for him/her to sustain, then won't it be better to relieve him/her from all the pains and sufferings rather than seeing him/her struggle for every single breath. But it is doleful that the Indian Penal Code doesn't totally understand the difference between killing and mercy killing. Mercy Killing includes the consent of the patient and entails the withholding of common treatments, such as antibiotics which are necessary for continuance of life. But sadly, it is being characterized as suicide or murder or sometimes as wrongful death or even as criminal homicide. Since the IPC isn't mature enough to handle such intricate issues, there have been cases where mercy killing wasn't permitted. I know that life and death are not in the hands of human beings and we are only 63 mere puppets driven by the whims of the almighty. But sometimes it is better to take decisions which, even though being unconventional makes a strong sense. It is very hard to even see a person striving for every iota for his life and one can't even fathom what that person would be feeling. And it's somewhat unjustifiable for that person to bear all the pain. So the question arises whether voluntary, passive euthanasia be legalized in a country like ours or not? Though India won't be the first to ponder over this delicate issue but we can definitely learn from certain countries like Netherlands and Belgium where this practice is legalized under certain exceptions. The world is changing and so must we. Taking away the life of a person might not seem to be the sanest option especially in a scenario where capital punishments are looked down upon, but if we think over it from the point of view of the sufferer, euthanasia seems to be the only option left. Euthanasia is not exactly about giving rights to the person who dies but, instead, is about changing the law and public policy so that doctors, relatives and others can directly end another person's life so that he/she attains tranquility. - Tarun Chugh Electrical - Gaurav Singh, Electrical Illustration : Kartik Dutta Chemistry 64 A Word That Never Shows Up What happens when we call something a by its name? Why should we call a mighty big black animal 'an elephant'? When an elephant comes to attack the village, the first man who sees it can run in panic shouting aloud: "Elephant, elephant". It is very difficult to use something like 'a mighty big black animal' in this particular situation. So the single word 'elephant' is equivalent to the group 'mighty big black animal'. If there are other mighty big black animals other than elephants here, then we can add a few words into this group and make them equivalent again. For example, to differentiate the elephants from the rhinos, we may add 'with big ears' to the group. This is exactly what a dictionary does. It gives you groups of words equivalent to every other word in it. Each word is then again supported by a group of other words and this chain goes on and on. If it is not being supported by any other word but it supports some of them, then those words it supports can be in turn used to support it . There is no particular direction to this support. This rules out the possibility of a word getting support from some other words but does not supporting even a single word meaning that for a word to stand alone; it should not be supported by as well as should not support any other word. For example, as 'black' supports 'elephant', 'elephant' can support 'black' too. This gives us the image of the language being an interconnected network, with each word being a node and support being the connection between two nodes. But is it true that beyond the particular group which supports a word, it has no identity? That a word cannot stand in isolation in vacuum? Imagine a word which needs no support but can support others. Can such a word exist? I don't think so. Suppose we make up such a word, say, 'xeird'. Someone will ask you: "What is xeird?" You will answer: "It is the word which stands alone." At that very moment the word xeird loses its aura as you have supported xeird with the group of words: 'it, is, the, word, which, stands and alone. 'You can keep xeird alive at least for a longer time this way: keep yourself silent to every query related to xeird. But when you keep on being silent to the continued queries from people, they will themselves kill the stand-aloneness of xeird this way: "Xeird is the word to which weird people keep mum. So what about creating your own xeird and keeping it just within you? Never utter it to anybody? You create a word and you make yourself believe that it has no other association with any other word, living or dead. I'm not sure of this idea being great too. The new word may hardly qualify for a word. A word is a part of the language, I believe, and language happens between at least two individuals. This tells that a word cannot exist in a single individual. Now you go to your friend and conspire to mint out a standalone word. That only prolongs the life of the special word a little longer, till one of you dies. After that, even if the other one is still alive, by the need of another individual to communicate it, the word also dies. So it cannot be preserved forever. You will need the support of other words to preserve it. What about creating a larger group of people? The singular word will be transferred from one generation to the next so that it lives as long as the group exists. But again the word will need the support of other words to be conveyed to the individuals who were not present at the time the word was first created. So this also is not practical. This point should have come at the first place: what is the purpose of creating such a word? Even if all the above barriers can be overcome, who will spend time and resources for such a ridiculous thing? Is it that really ridiculous? I don't know. - Ambilimon AP, Mechanical Illustration: Renjith Kumar M, Mechanical 65 On that beautiful day, clouds gathered and showed me way That lovely breeze blew loud Over the city feeling proud. World around, seemed as a Casanova proud of its iridescent nova I walked a few pace, and sat some place Settling on a seat at the back, Waiting for the bus to pack Everything so slow no strength to flow My heart did wander All thoughts so slender Suddenly blew the horn loud the wheels shrieked & the engine growled Passengers entered, like a herd of sheep. I watched in haze all together in a sudden blaze slowly did my eyes went still covering my body with the winter's chill A sudden break of silence let that lovely figure emerge Breaking the crowded shackles Unfolding all my surge Her fair & lovely feet on that jute woven slippers the orange coloured kurti made everyone titter Her bright coloured clothes and entangled hair made their way, quite long below She settled soon quite away in the loon her face away I felt all gay Her face was visible on that rear view mirror eyes below all so clear like a waterfall Her face was like a poet's thought Amidst all worries, a game was sought Her untold presence had the aroma of luxurious tea leaves My unsettling attraction started a little infatuation She wore a smile so different so true, which will make you disappear out in the blue Unaccustomed to this, flowing desire I tried so hard, but just couldn't part. Her sweetest face had dimples placed spreading enormous glory made my stay there holy With so many people, I lost my gaze I tried all twists, But couldn't make way I sat now admiring those beautiful eyes They were beautiful as I don't lie He held my shoulders and broke my reverie Startled! "Did you see those eyes" I asked With a dim smile, he patted me saying Her eyes were beautiful and tried to bind but unfortunately, she was all blind Days have passed, and years went by My mind for her, has turned all divine Anywhere I go, anywhere I live Whatever I do, I see that bliss Sometimes away I recapitulate memories, stealing into, the heaven's core My life has seen her habitual role her shadows presence enthrals my soul. - Harsh Vardhan Jha, Electrical An Amazing Encounter Picture Courtesy : Internet 66 The Existence of God Introduction: "The first question which should rightly be asked is why there is something rather than nothing?" Leibniz answered this question by arguing that something exists rather than nothing because a necessary being exists which carries within itself his reason for existence and it is the sufficient reason for the existence of all contingent beings. A more modest explanation for necessity of existence in terms of what he calls "factual necessity" has been given by John Hick: a necessary being is an eternal, uncaused, indestructible, and incorruptible being. Leibniz, of course, identified the necessary being as God. His critics, however, disputed this i denti fi cati on, contendi ng that the material universe could itself be assigned the status of a necessary being. "Why," queried David Hume "may not the material universe be the necessary existent being, according to this pretended explanation of necessity?" Typically, this has been precisely the position of an atheist. Atheists have not felt compelled to embrace the view that the universe came into being out of nothing for any reason at all; rather they regard the universe itself as a sort of factually necessary being: the u n i v e r s e i s e t e r n a l , u n c a u s e d , indestructible, and incorruptible. As Russell neatly put it, . . . The universe is just there, and that's all." Does Leibniz's argument therefore leave us in a rational impasse? Might there not be some further resources available for untangling the riddle of the existence of the world? It seems to me that there are. It will be remembered that an essential property of a necessary being is eternality, if then it could be made plausible (seeming likely to be true, or able to be believed) that the universe began to exist and is not therefore eternal, one would to that extent at least have shown the superiority of theism as a rational world view. 1. Whatever begins to exist has a cause of its existence. (Let us assume premise 1 is true) 2. The universe began to exist. 2.1 Argument based on the impossibility of an actual infinite. INFINITE Potential Infinite Actual Infinite Which is increasing towards infinity as a limit, but never gets there Collection in which number of members really is infinite 2.11 An actual infinite cannot exist. 2.12 An infinite temporal regress of events is an actual infinite. 2.13 Therefore, an infinite temporal regress of events cannot exist. 2. 14 Therefore, the universe has a cause of its existence. Let us examine these arguments more closely. First Supporting Argument: In order to understand (2.1), we need to understand the difference between a potential infinite and an actual infinite. Now (2.11) mai ntai ns, not that a potentially infinite number of things cannot exist, but that an actually infinite 67 number of things cannot exist. How to prove that an actually infinite number of things cannot exist? For that Let us imagine two hotels (X, Y) a) One with a finite number of rooms (X)and b) Other with infinite number of rooms(Y). Case 1: Suppose that all the rooms in X are full. When a new guest arrives asking for a room, the proprietor apologizes, "Sorry, all the rooms are full. Case 2: Suppose that all the infinite rooms in hotel Y are full. There is not a single vacant room throughout the entire infinite hotel. Now suppose new guest/guests shows up, asking for a room. "But of course!" says the proprietor, But how will he allot the room to the guest? Case a: He immediately shifts the person in room #1 into room #2, the person in room #2 into room #3, the person in room #3 into room #4 and so on, out to infinity. As a result of these room changes, room #1 now becomes vacant and the new guest gratefully checks in. Case b: If suppose infinity of new guests show up the desk, asking for a room. "Of course, of course!" says the proprietor, and he proceeds to shift the person in room #1 into room #2, the person in room #2 into room #4, the person in room #3 into room #6, and so on out to infinity, always putting each former occupant into the room number twice his own. As a result, all the odd numbered rooms become vacant, and the infinity of new guests is easily accommodated. And yet, before they came, all the rooms were full! And again, strangely enough, the number of guests in the hotel is the same after the infinity of new guests check in as before, even though there were as many new guests as old guests. In fact, the proprietor could repeat this process infinitely many times and yet there would never be one single person more in the hotel than before.(same applies during checking-out) But how can this be possible? Can anyone sincerely believe that such a hotel could exist in reality? These sorts of absurdities illustrate the impossibility of the existence of an actually infinite number of things. That takes us to (2.12). The truth of these premises seems fairly obvious. If the universe never began to exist, then prior to the present event there have existed an actually infinite number of previous events. Hence, a beginning less series of events in time entails the existence of an actually infinite number of things, namely, past events. Given the truth of (2.11) and (2.12), the conclusion (2.13) logically follows. The series of past events must be finite and have a beginning. But since the universe is not distinct from the series of events, it follows that the universe began to exist. Source: "The Existence of God and the Beginning of the Universe." Truth: A Journal of Modern Thought 3(1991): 85-96 ? ? - Voona Srikanth Metallurgy 68 Be The change ... 10:00 AM, th 8 September 2013, BARC Mumbai: On a Sunday morning, after struggling hard for a Dosa, I could finally get the breakfast. While reading the newspaper I found an article related to habit of complaining. And all of a sudden I started thinking of the discussion I had with the people while standing in the queue. -it's a torture, -mess ka khana is like hell, -itni lambi line, -lift kabhi kam karti hai kya ? -Kitna padate hain yahan, -Itni classes to humne kabhi nhi ki, -is teacher ko kuch nhi aata, -Anushatinagar is a village, -this palce doesn't suit me, -log kaise hain yahan, -I hate mentality of people here, -Sports room me humesha workshops hoti rahti hain, -internet to kabhi chalta hi nhi, -books to kabhi milti nhi in library -log kitne lazy hain yahan, -no one is interested in working, -no scope for research here -ye monkeys na kitna pareshan karte hain We all tend to complain about things around us at some or other point of time, but few people have the habit of cribbing about things all the time. I would rather say complaining is a way of life with them. They cannot stop criticizing no matter where they are, who they are with and what they are doing. Was I thinking in the same way at that time????? Yes, I was, and that prompted me to delve further into the issue. The people who do not wish to take responsi bi l i ti es have thi s habi t of complaining. It's their way of finding excuses - Anushri Jain Computer Science or justifications for failures. Rather than securing us to justify our failure if we give the whole of our energy in accomplishing the goal, it will work. Instead of looking at the things which are not appropriate why not look at the things which are. Why not feel blessed for the things you have? Gratitude makes you focus on all the correct and the positive things granted by God, and you come up with spiritual dynamo. Next moment we come up with the fact that negativity is induced by our surrounding people, conditions and circumstances; but, Neither changing the circumstances nor the people can affect your balance so long as your essential self as a human being remains the same, isn't it? Another argument we may have why not to fight to get things on track, why to adjust; Being positive about things doesn't imply to adjust ourselves or adapt to the system when things are wrong. With a positive attitude we should keep on fighting for these but at the same time being continuous on our track is also necessary. The implication is that anarchy should not become an excuse for reluctance. Argument arises what's wrong in pointing out wrong things; What we say continuously for a while they are just a saying but with time they become our belief and start influencing our conduct. When we criticize, we start believing that things are not right here & we find out justification for our failure & ultimately the inertia that prevents the course of action. When we focus on the flaws they get multiplied & when we feel great for the things we have, we feel blessed. Wayne Dyer has said:- The state of life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind. 69 Au Revoir! As I write this, my mind fills with an year-old nostalgia. Even the weather was identical that day, with the constant outpour of rain, only to be paused intermittently by drafts of monsoon breeze. As BARC welcomed me, along with the fresh batch of Trainee Scientific Officers, I felt equally privileged to have successfully qualified for this 2-year M.Tech course. As I looked around that day, trying to get used to the surroundings, the hill in the vicinity caught my attention. I have, on several occasions, thought about trekking up that hill. However, better sense has always prevailed. Well, almost always A year has rolled by since then, and the proverbial 'mixed bag of emotions' is ready to be opened. There are several treasured moments, and in those moments lies the essence of life itself. My classmates feature the most in this flashback movie, as can be naturally expected, and suffice it to say that my interaction with them has been among the best i have had in my career, and indeed, one which is set to last a lifetime. Be it the 'Mariam Notes' (the unofficial 'kunji' of success in RSE discipline), or 'Ankush practicals' (the sure-shot way to completing practical reports) ours was a hilarious yet memorable journey together. I distinctly remember the bright young faces the first day I entered class, when I shook hands with everyone. Today we stand at the juncture where time and space will yet again play their games, and we will depart for our individual journeys. Like individual nuclides merging together, only to separate after a brief yet powerful exchange of energy, which change the path of the particle - and more importantly its surroundings - forever. However, this article is not only about my classmates. I write to you, not only as a classmate, but also as a TDO. Today, as on the first day, I see bright, young, restless yet hopeful minds in you. You the erstwhile TSOs, are now at the beginning of a new path I know what ideas resonate deep within your mind-space, as I have experienced that myself in my interaction with you. It has been a learning experience for me too. I know you want to think BIG. You want to think out of the box. I implore you, the collective YOU, to do so. Regardless of the opportunities presented to you, or the lack of it you have the power to change the course of the country's future. This I say, with extreme pride and hope. For I have seen, in each of you, small sparks of ingenuity. As you and I step out of the hallowed portals of this institute, we have immense responsibilities on our shoulders. This I say, with some years of experience in my field of work.
Where I work, I get paid to be patriotic. However, with the work which you shall be assigned in the near future, I have reasons to believe that you and I are no different. In fact, we ought to complement each other. So while I run the machine, you run the math behind it. It's really that simple. Few years down the line, there will be several occasions, when, given the nature of our respective jobs, our paths are likely to intersect. Then, as now, we may sit over a cup of chai (or a can of beer :D) in the evening and recall our days at BARC. The chicken prepared by Pandey ji or the fish prepared by Utpal da will dominate our discussions. As will the way our lecture time was effectively utilized by brainstorming games like 'dumb charades' (and why Piyali would point towards Utpal while guessing the 'da'!) It is then, that we will realize what BARC life meant. More importantly, it is then that we will also realize the importance of what we learnt here. For its only in the application of the theory that real knowledge is of any practical use. In this seemingly clich statement lies the key to our collective future. Amidst the cryptic talk of becoming a global super-power which we usually hear from our TV sets, there is also another India which we simultaneously live in. The India where basic necessities are conspicuous by their absence. The India where human indices of development are amongst the world's lowest. Hunger, illiteracy, poverty and power outages are as much a part of India as are GSLVs, Chandraayans, 'Agni-V's or even Kudankulams. I do not want to wish away one for the other. In fact, I feel the responsibility of bridging the gap between two parallel Indians that we live in, lie upon us. 70 The most important asset that any country can have is its youth. Yes, my friends - You and I are a part of our country's best natural resources. If anyone can change our future, we can. The energy is infinite, and we have been blessed to have been introduced into its potential, here at BARC. It's just a question of harnessing the same. So, I urge you to think, innovate and invent our predecessors did all of that, having much lesser access to facility or resources than what we do in this day and age. We have no excuse for not to excel. Brush away the misunderstandings. Learn to cultivate a short memory. Enjoy what life throws at you. Give the coming moment your best. It's your chance to start anew. Be brave, take risks. Twenty years on, you will be happy that you did take a step ahead, when the world was thinking - Rahul Sinha, TDO Radiological Safety Engineering about taking a step back. I will definitely miss you. My journey in BARC continues for an year more, yet without most of you people around, the TSH will become a distant memory. The countless games of football in the evening, the trek to Lonavala, and the movie trips to Vashi and beyond, the evening get-togethers at Nilgiri will remain etched in my memory forever. I wish each one of you, the very best of the voyage ahead. One mention of any of your names will light up my eyes, and if you happen to pass by the place of my posting in 2015 or after that, be rest assured I will be glad to host you as my guest.
