Science for Society

Science for Society 


Science is a way of life.

Science is a perspective.

Science is the process that takes us from

 Confusion to understanding in a manner that is 

Precise,Predictive and Reliable. 

Moreover science is an experience that is Empowering and Emotional.


Science and society are in constant and fruitful interaction through scientists. It is science that gives us a rationalised approach to truth.It is a path of reason, knowledge and dynamism to reality. Science stands for change and challenge in the face of old routined practises. 


While historians and archaeologists reveal the mystery of the future. Society has a well established law and order that facilitates research ,observation, experimentation which is conducted for the society. Without a society no scientific research and development in technology is possible. The growth and development of science is in direct proportion to the development and growth of our society.


The importance of science to society is highlighted by our 1st prime minister in his quote, ‘’Science teaches us new ways of doing things. Perhaps, it improves our conditions of industrial life but the basic thing is that science teaches us to think straight and not be afraid of discarding or accepting anything. 


Science has helped us tremendously over the past 2 centuries. It has helped us in conquering diseases, hunger, famine, distances and physical and geographical barriers. It is science that is providing solutions for all the environment related issues. From the race to the moon to the coronavirus vaccine science has dynamised human life tremendously. 


‘’The true spirit of science lies in the search and discovery of truth.’’



(This write-up was actually 2 1/2 pages long. But my paraphrasing to 2 minutes ended up this way...Hope it gave you the importance of science in our society;)

Art vs AI

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, many artists and creative professionals are growing concerned. Just as the Industrial Revolution automated manual labor, AI now seems to be taking over intellectual and artistic work. From writing and research to art and learning, it’s quite agonizing to watch AI make even our minds complacent. Sure, AI offers the benefits of speed and efficiency. But if we start accepting vague reproductions of a lifetime’s work, it raises serious concerns about how we express perspectives. The key difference between human-made and AI-generated art lies in emotion . Every word, brushstroke, and musical note carries the weight of personal experience, cultural shifts, and societal narratives. Art isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about storytelling, struggle, and human connection. AI can be a useful tool, but it shouldn’t replace human artistry. It lacks the ability to feel, dream, or rebel —qualities that define great art. Instead of letting AI...

Apathy's Anchor

 A lone tree  claimed  the land,    Lost in its own silence .  It  held fast , though winds did roar,  And birds sang,  unheard .  Fixed in its gaze , The cows moved, the clouds drifted.  For how could a rock ever truly smile?  Or a desert ever truly weep? - Bharathi Senthilkumar

Book Review – Democrazy

I recently read Democrazy during a long train journey from my hometown to Chennai, and it was quite an engaging experience. The book offers a satirical take on democracy, exploring why ordinary citizens often feel they can question the system but find it difficult to bring about meaningful change. While referencing the famous phrase “for the people, by the people”, it examines how the idea sometimes appears complicated in practice, despite being outlined in one of the longest constitutions in the world. The author uses humor and sharp observation to present scenarios that oscillate between amusing and thought-provoking. The narrative describes different forms of challenges faced by citizens—such as bribery, exploitation, and bureaucratic hurdles—through a cast of fictional characters: a head of government, an ambitious family member, a veteran party member, an influential industrialist, a sincere journalist, a socially active citizen (particularly on social media), a strict school prin...
