Why are we taught Sanskrit in school?

Image
Many times, during random discussions, people have asked why we are taught Sanskrit or Bernoulli Principle or Trigonometry or Organic chemistry or even Statistics when  most of us do not use it now. They mention most of the things taught in school are not required now, in practical life or day to day life and hence is irrelevant.  Well earlier I used to partially agree with them. But after lot of thinking I have come to the conclusion that learning them was not a futile exercise. On the contrary they are very much relevant and necessary. I will summarize my thinking into two main reasons. Reason number 1, which is the most basic one. We do not (or most of us don't) know at that age what career/lifestyle we would choose years down the line. We are taught all spectrum of topics and at a basic level, so that we can try everything hands on and then select which field of knowledge is to our liking and pursue further studies on that. Also getting to know basic things in Physics, C

Product Life Cycle of a Gamer (that's Me)

I like to call myself a Gamer...Ummm....I used to call myself a Gamer...But not now...Well I think it is a life cycle. Like everything else in this world. There are 4 stages in any product lifecycle which are listed below Introduction Growth Maturity Product Extension Decline                         (picture courtesy tutor2u.net) Like any other "Gyan", I can relate this graph to my personal gaming journey.  1. Introduction My gaming journey started with (and can be attributed to) Prince of Persia (MS-DOS edition). My maternal uncle (who lived in different city) had to travel a lot and was given a "80386" powered laptop. And on that apart from Lotus123, he had this amazing game. He was a big fan of the game and had saved the princess, I mean completed the game in the designated time. And passed on the fandom to me. So whenever he visited our place, I used to hijack his laptop and go crazy. Being the first ever game POP (Pr

5 Benefits of working in Office that you never knew

Image
Yes it is true, there really are benefits of Working.I am not kidding!! So let me tell you about benefits of working in office that you never realized. Benefit #1: High levels of Endurance By continuously working on the same things over and over again, you develop high levels of endurance. These skills come in handy in various situations like waiting in line or while watching a really boring Bollywood movie.Please note that this skill can be sharpened by attending meetings Personal example - the last two movies that I watched. While I totally enjoyed "Nautanki sala" and "Go Goa Gone", my friends who went with me got very bored. The slow pace and lack of story bothered them, but not me. By being continuously exposed to "work" I my level has gone so low, that I tend to enjoy even most unappealing phenomena Benefit #2: Faster typing speed Due to continuous work(supposedly) on laptops/desktop throughout the day (which seems like eternity) , our

Be happy - Be Barfi

I just wanna say one sentence for Barfi - a heart-touching, rib-tickling and mind-blowing movie, with awesome performance from Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. I went to see the movie with very high expectation and it did not fail at all. I will not tell the story or anything of the movie, just what I found so good about the movie. But, I will start with what I found not so good in the movie. This movie can be said to be another movie portraying main character as happy-go-lucky, a love triangle, parents against love etc just like a dozen other movies. And comic scenes looked inspired from Charlie Chaplin movies. The multiple parallel timeline storytelling was switching over too fast early in the movie (but later was positive). And the rest of things (good things) now follow. Firstly the songs. All beautiful. So melodious, that it can he heard over and over again. Also my eagerness/enthusiasm/keenness to watch the movie increased when I watched its Video songs. Beautif
