Life Lessons from Bhagavad Gita Introduction: Many people who studied  Bhagavad-Gita  say that it changed their life. They quit many bad habits, and they hence push themselves towards some positive habits. Gradually, as a result of studying  Bhagavad-Gita , they become elevated. Many people who read this religious book, by the way, it is not meant for only Hindus. The people of different religions and regions can read this because Gita is for everyone. Understanding that Gita is not a religious Book: Lord Krishna taking chariot between the two armies on request of Arjuna Many people who read this religious book, by the way, it is not meant for only Hindus. The people of different religions and regions can read this because Gita is for everyone. When Lord Krishna sang the Gita to Arjuna, He didn’t tell that this Gita is exclusively for you, my dear Arjuna. But, the Gita has spoken between the two armies of the war. So, that all people who are fighting the conflict can be gain some knowl

The Core of Math Anxiety: Mathematics is Abstract and Our Purpose for Learning it is Concrete Think of the moment when kids understand that fingers —  not just their fingers  — is a way to count.  T hink also when they count two for legs on a chicken and also time passage in terms of days. There is a ton of abstraction that we all fall into right from the beginning. The abstraction leap from something like three fingers to the number “3” might be one of the biggest that we rarely acknowledge to the time that it deserves. The proof of that is that a common refrain in math education is “when are students going to stop using their fingers for counting?” My response is “hopefully never”, meaning that there is something unresolved with students that needs attention and time to. The pandemic regrettably proved that education has no interest/idea in shifting the historic purpose of mathematics — practice, perform, and practicality — into something more aligned to the abstract origins and beau

Neural Network As mentioned in my previous blog Artificial Intelligence is the super set to Machine Learning which further is the super set to Deep Learning. Deep Learning is concerned with algorithms inspired by the structure and function of Human Brain. So, now lets dive deep into this field and try to understand how this works and what actually this powerful algorithm is. What is Neural Networks? It is a series of algorithms that works   to recognize underlying relationships in the given set of data through process that mimics the way a Human Brain operates. Now if we actually discuss in Human Brain analogy, then this refers to neurons, either organic or artificial in nature. These help us to cluster and classify the given data. As previously mentioned that this algorithm is purely inspired by the working of our Human Brain, our Brain works with the help of a series or an networks called neurons. For example, suddenly a cat or a dog comes to you, how will you predict which animal is

'Mens’conception

  'Mens’conception 75% of depression reported cases are from men. 5/6 suicides committed are by men. Tags/assumptions of carrying the family forward financially. Let’s talk about something we seldom shed light on. Generations have passed by, and yet men are suppressed under the limiting norms of society on the basis of which they define masculinity. Image credit: unsplash.com The term ‘man up’ wildly circulated and preached about holds the dictionary meaning ‘to act tough’. Isn’t that what the society expects men to be molded into? Being ‘tough’, thereby restraining them from being their true selves. They are detained from the liberties of emotion and expression. Their vulnerability is a joke which carries heavy labels of ‘unmanly’ and ‘weak’. The slogans “Men don’t cry!”, going about have exacerbated their mental health as a result of which, they’ve been held back from being vocal about the concerns they undergo. In today’s age where we see a commendable outrage on issues pertaini

Time to make the unconscious concious

Time to make the unconscious conscious Just a few months ago, who could have predicted that the world would be staring down the barrel of a spiraling health predicament and economic crisis unlike any witnessed in an eternity? Now, in a society gripped by the terror of a foraying virus, mental health is emerging as a pressing concern. Image credit: pixabay.com The Coronavirus pandemic has made people conscious about innumerable factors that they have been overlooking in their normal lives before this virus showed up. People have always been occupied with their work, be it their jobs, education, families, and what not! This virus has made us aware of the numerous things that we wouldn’t have noticed earlier. Over the years we’ve been ignorant of our health and mental well-being because we were so busy and pre-occupied by the workload and daily commitments. Stress, anxiety, deadlines, depression, etc. have always overpowered our lives without us actually rejoicing in the evanescence of li

Freedom

FREEDOM. What if I say you are reading this not by your will? what if I say whatever you have been doing since your birth till now might be predetermined? No, I am not talking about fate and all that religious stuff. There is this concept in physics called  causality . Causality is the influence by which one event, process, state, or object contributes to the production of another event, process, state, or object. which in simple terms can be said that for one event to happen there must be an event that must have caused it. Any a n d every decision you make in real life are completely based on your thought. Now comes the interesting part, are we even responsible for our thoughts. If yes that means we have thought the thought before we actually had that thought. If you have no control over what thoughts you will get, where is free will? let me tell you something interesting about ants. When ants are infected by a type of fungus called  Ophiocordyceps unilateralis They are no longer in c
