The outbreak of corona virus in China in December 2019 has, in less than 90 days, devastated the whole world. What emerged as a contagious disease has now left the world in a state of fear and oblivion. Countries have been locked down and economies have shattered. People across the globe are advised to stay at home and practice social distancing. Amid this pandemic and global crisis, what are we, as entrepreneurs, students, employees and above all as humans, supposed to do? With no work in hand and nowhere to go, how can we survive this social isolation for a period of time which might last for months?

With every setback comes an opportunity to change. This is a great time to make those changes that we have been longing for. Maybe learn a new language or learn to play an instrument or get that novel you wanted to read or perhaps meditate and find peace, because all we have now is plenty of time. This world is witnessing a recession which is bound to have haunting consequences in the coming years. We may not be free to work now but we can prepare ourselves for the inevitable by keeping ourselves updated and ready for action when the right time comes. 

The world may be in utter dismay at the moment, with nearly 800,000 infections and more than 37,000 deaths across the globe, but the future has a promise of a new beginning and unimaginable opportunities. It is certain to have a plethora of new concepts and working environments in the coming years. We can see this situation either as a disaster or as an opportunity to analyze and change; it all depends on whether we act as capitalists or pessimists.

          The Smallest Computer In The World The Smallest Computer in the World Fits On a Grain of Rice. Researchers at the University of Michigan just created the world's smallest computer (again). After all, it's unclear if the IBM computer even counts as an actual microcomputer. The IBM device lost all its programming and data as soon as it turns off, unlike the Michigan Micro Mote, which retained its programming even when it wasn’t externally powered. “It’s more of a matter of opinion whether they have the minimum functionality required,” said David Blaauw, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at University of Michigan who helped develop the University of Michigan's newest tiny device. If the IBM machine constituted a computer, then University of Michigan would work to gain back their title: their latest micro device measures 0.3mm per side (1/10th the size of IBM’s computer), and is smaller than a grain of rice. The de...

It is the internal stimuli that trigger our mind and we are bound to set up an image of the thoughts which we carry from our inner instincts.

  Specialties of the month of May The month of May signifies so many different things to people that it is hard, to sum up, its importance in a single thought. While May is considered a time of new harvest and celebrations for farmers across the country, it also ushers in the dreaded Indian summers, which in turn is symbolized by vacations for children and family trips to the hills for a lot of Indian families.  However, the importance of May runs much deeper than just the basic symbolic inferences to which we as a society often restrict ourselves to. It also has a significant place of honor within religious and spiritual connotations, cultural diversity and societal practices. Here are some of the unique things which make May, the most mystical of all months: Despite a majority of months being named after Greek Gods and even the occasional Roman king, May is named after Maia. She is the Greek Goddess of fertility and this is signified by May being the month of harvest for far...
