This house believes that Science is a boy’s club. Had it not been the case, there would have been more women scientists and researchers around. The fact is women just are not born to explore the sciences. They have neither the inclination nor the cognitive ability to understand the abstract or separate the real from…
Science is a boys’ club | Against
This house believes that Science is not a boy’s club and girls have an equal claim to it. The Nobel Prize about which my esteemed friend mentioned was established in the year 1895 and the first awards were given away in 1901. I would like to bring to your notice ladies and gentlemen that it’s…
The Cryptic Cookie
I am glad that Shubham too has a love for words like me. We may not be exactly logomaniacs but are definitely verbivores. He has the gift of the gab, a quick wit and is more adept at writing code than content, though he definitely has a flair for writing. This story written by him…
Respect
One oft repeated remark in the staffroom and also from parents on Open Days is that the children just don’t have respect for anything these days. It is a very simple word which can have variable meanings. On one hand it is a regard for feelings, views and wishes of others, while on the other…
The reluctant warriors
Recently a student of mine requested me to give my inputs on ‘strength’. He felt that people conveniently juxtaposed the inability to take an action or see it through to results with their being weak. They simply hide behind the excuse that they are not strong enough.

The Unread Obituary
The month of May always made him contemplate about love and relationships. It was the month which celebrated the birthday of a very important person in his life and also her going away to be one with the Supreme. Her face was now a photo locked away in his locker and the memory of it…

Everyone loves a story
“Once upon a time…” This must be the best memory of growing up years, a childhood without stories is non-existent if I may say so. Each of us must also have a very fond memory or a favourite story. I remember all of us kids sitting around our grandmother listening to story after story, requesting…
An Uncharted Industry
A very Happy Lohdi, Pongal, Sankranti, Ugadi, Uttarayan to all! May our lives too take a turn for all the right things with this transition of the Sun. The week gone by was also the celebration of Youth, it being National Youth Day on 12th January, the birthday of Swami Vivekananda. And it so happened…
The Fire of Friendship
“Shubh! What should I write about this week? And don’t say, “I have no idea! I’ve done that as well.” Shubham looked around his room and looking at a little curio his friend gave said, “Umm, write about friendship.” “No way, I’m done with it.” “Okay!” He looked around some more and fixed his eyes…
