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;)

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...

Sathuragiri experience

  Sathuragiri is a pilgrimage site located in the district of Virudhunagar in Tamilnadu. The hills are actually a part of the Western Ghats. The name is in Tamil, as 'chaturam' means square and 'giri' means mountain. Many people say the the hill is square-shaped, so that's where the name originates from. I saw that the temple built around the 2 'suyambu' lingam or the two idols that are not installed by any person but they exist on their own is in the middle of 4 different hills.  Our group consisted of 4 girls and their fathers and four other uncles.

They all taught me so much by talking about their life experiences and many other incidents that changed their lives. We began our trek from a madam at the foot of the hills in SriVilliputhur. Filled with adventurous paths, I had great fun a...
