The New Norm !!

Okay, Google Meet for Network Analysis and Digital logic Design, WebEx for Maths and Signal Processing, Zoom for Signals and Systems. Accha...

And you think it’s all sorted?? NAhhh....

In the very beginning, I found the online lectures damn frustrating and frivolous, like many of you, of course. But the, we somehow adjust and move on, for “Change is the only Constant”.

However, the breaks in between subsequent lectures were virtuous enough to be filled with :

* an episode of the newly released series,

* flipping through a few pages of a novel,

* tuning up some melodies,

* or, just take a short, pleasant nap.

(Each following the earlier in importance)

Internships in companies are replaced by those inside the kitchens. People are researching fresh hobbies and discovering new talents. 

With physical proximity becoming potentially fatal, virtual environments are the norm. Due to the pandemic and social distancing norms, teachers around the world are blending offline teaching practices with technology tools to create the best online learning experience for learners.

Online education edges over the typical offline physical learning in terms of its Accessibility (geographical boundaries not being constraints), Affordability (with the costs of delivery coming down), and quality (competition among the content providers forcing them to deliver better content).

But are these not only the "heads"? What’s the other side of the BIG picture?

Stay connected…

Of monsoon, love and freedom (Chapter 2)

Kaleidoscopic Kozhikode I can bet if you’re not from southernmost India, you can’t pronounce this name correctly. I took utter caution to train my tongue to adjust to it before I myself adjusted to the city. Pertaining to simplicity, let’s address it by the anglicized version of “Calicut” . The explorer inside me started maturing since the day we discovered a cascade while squandering outside the institute campus. My fellow rambler, Thakur was forced to sneak through someone’s private property behind me and so, that was the origination! 14 th May : Long time, finally sea! On the fourth day and first Saturday we dropped here, headed to what I assume the life and blood of this coastal city- the Kozhikode beach . As we neared, the anticipation started engulfing me as if I was finally going to meet that partner, I’ve been in a long-distance relationship with . The sea with its vastness opens up to you with outspread arms and all you wanna do is run to it and get enveloped within t...

Of monsoon, love and freedom (Chapter 5)

Staying in a single place for so long offers you a chance to closely observe the livelihood of the natives and practically acknowledge diversity as a bridge that segregates YET links our cultures and unites us as a nation. Kerala is one of those states which is inhabited by less mortals, but abundance of nature. The colour of green is splashed from the palate of the creator and mother earth has merrily submerged and surrendered herself to it . I would love to allocate a long vacation at some probable point of time in my life to squander around the state and re-plug to the part of my heart I’ve lost there. Finally, you would be reading none of this now and I will not be revisiting this after years if I hadn’t come across one person – Mrs. Lyla B. Das ma’am ; our much esteemed, highly acclaimed and deeply endeared faculty in-charge. The woman has lived such an illustrious career and had an exceptional influence on the existence of hundreds of her students, of which I was fortunate enou...

Of monsoon, love and freedom (Chapter 4)

  4 th June : Beypore beach Back in Calicut, on an unusually bright sunny Saturday, Thakur and I set out to Beypore 32 kms south dressed up in beachwear. The Beypore port is one of the oldest ports of Kerala and only the second biggest after Cochin. The beach is sidelined by huts of local fishermen and their families and scattered with stalls of snacks and eatables bustling with visitors by the evening. As the beaming noon started mutating into a balmy evening, we trooped through around a kilometer and half of the pulimuttu, a walkway stretching to the sea. After a couple of minutes, while Thakur was turning impatient and wanted to turn back around and return, I stressed on holding back up until the sunset. Throughout the complete journey, I had this silent undertaking of not leaving anything I desired for later to regret . Well, the vista of the sun disappearing into the horizon is a seascape you cannot miss for anything whatsoever. Afterwards, Babloo on my request added ...
