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;)

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. Everyone was a school friend except my father, our group’s leader and another uncle. Everyone is such an amazing person. We had great fun throughout the entire journey. 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...

An unfinished carving

Everyone was posting about the importance of books, and that the hobby should be kept alive with the current generation. But reading books has been my hobby since I learnt to read. So, I thought of updating my thoughts on the topic. A door into imagination, books are the key to convert all your clumsy, jumbled thoughts into clear pictures. Books can change your attitude towards life by giving you a new perspective! It helps you slip into a world without too many problems, a flawless place where characters are actually characters, meaning they don't influence your life fully but partially! Learning about different cultures and looking into the daily lives of different people, has an enormous effect on your behaviour. Just that it helps you to learn from the mistakes made in history, whether it led to success or disasters you'll learn from it. There is a wide range of books from fiction to biography, literally on every topic we are interested in. I feel people should just read...

GUILT

Guilty is the mind that has not accepted what your heart has. Guilty is that mind which looks over a 1000 possibilities knowing that the first one has already happened, Guilty is the mind for dreaming of the perfect world all alone Each time I pick up those dirty plates I see the leftovers the guilt fills me as I remember the boy begging by the hotel The young girl whose cloths hung over her fragile skeleton The baby on her back crying in hunger. Each time I see the garbage hills and land fills I'm engulfed in guilt The guilt of ignoring that sight and not doing anything about it The guilt of ignoring in spite of the knowledge that its going to affect my planet , my generation Each time I see water leaking out off an unfixed tap I'm immersed in guilt as I can feel the scorching sun burning my skin I can imagine what would be left of the ozone if we continue global warming at this rate Each time I come across an article on a religious conflict I'm fill...
