65 % of Indian population is under 35 and we have more than 50 % of people under 25, that means we are an amazingly young country. If we just take the age group from 10 to 19 then we find that there are 226 million Indians that are going through their school and are ready for higher education. Now this is something very amazing because it is happening at a time when the rest of the world is aging. The average age in India today is 27, and by 2030 the average age in Japan is going to be 47, in China it's going to be 43, Europe 46 and the youthful US 40 and India's average age is going to be 31. So we potentially have the people who are youthful, productive, dynamic and ready to work and transform the world. The kind of role that China played in the last generation could be ours in the next.  The International Labor Organization has estimated that by 2025 we will have 116 million people in the age group of 20-24 and China will have only 96 million. We in India have the people but...

  66 million years ago, a mountain sized asteroid travelling 10 times faster than a bullet slammed in the shallow seas, covering what is now known as the Yucatan Peninsula of  Mexico. The immense energy of the impact hurled rocks as far as North Canada and it vaporized the asteroid in parts of Mexico and in the shallow sea. The vaporized rock and water rose far above the atmosphere and spread over the planet, as it cooled molten drops of rock about the size of  grains of sand solidified into an immense swarm of shooting stars. These shooting stars when entered the earths atmosphere heated the atmosphere to a thousand degrees faranheit. Standing at the ground the dinosaurs saw the blue sky becoming a sheet of red hot lava. The dinosaurs were boiled to death under the glowing sky. The glowing sky started everything on fire, huge clouds of smoke rose into the upper atmosphere and blocked the sun, so that no sunlight reached the ground. It became cold and dark, photosynthesi...

              Earlier when we used to think about a global catastrophe the only thing that used to come in our mind was a nuclear war, but the scenario has changed over  time. Today when we talk about a global catastrophe or a global pandemic what comes to our mind is a virus, an infectious virus. If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades  then it is most likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war. The world has invested a huge  amount of money in nuclear weapons but very little in a system that could stop an epidemic. There are actually two types of viruses, first is the viruses that infect animals, and animals pass them to other animals, and then there are viruses that infect humans and we pass them to other humans. Suppose a person is having a human virus and he/she goes to the market and purchases chicken that has an animal virus and eats it without cooking it properly, so now that person is ...

    Being a girl is not so simple in a society like mine, I belong to a middle class family from a small village in Bihar. My father is a teacher and I have two brothers and I am the middle one. When I passed my matriculation everyone was happy but there were some people who had this thought in their mind that these things are not meant for girls, achievements are only meant for boys. After my matriculation I decided to go to city to prepare for JEE and intermediate and this idea was refused by all my relatives but I always had my father by my side. He supported me no matter what, my parents were there to always stand for me. When I went to the city my neighbours started talking behind that i was living alone in the city who knows I am studying there or doing some other kind of unacceptable things. They even used to question my parents about this that they should not send a girl to study because it is very risky and might affect their marriage.   This was all that was goi...

If we examine our brain we will realize that over a hundred thousand years our brain has remained the same, we have the same brain as of the prehistoric early men but the world around us has changed radically, this is because the brain is very powerful and it is very elastic, it can reprogram itself. But now we have begin to change our brains with the help of new technologies. Brain Computer Interface EEG ( electroencephalogram) allow us   to actually measure your brain ways of doing things and these devices can tell your concentration levels, they can be used to actually move a cursor on the screen just by reading your mind and your concentration level, and you don't even need to touch the screen.   These devices find applications in entertainment as of controlling the games, in medical these devices are being used for conditions like PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), ADHT (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and other conditions. They are also used in educ...

Most of us have already heard about this buzz word 5G , it is the latest evolution of networking cellular technology. In order to really understand how 5G will help us in the future it's important to really go back and see how cellular technology has changed our life in the past.  The cellular network evolution goes as follows: a. 1G: The first generation cellular network brought phone calls to people, most of us might think that even before cellphone we were able to make calls through radio-telephones but it is not true. What we were able to do with this radio-telephone was that to call at a particular place or location. Suppose you had to make a call to your friend through    radio-telephone  then to do so you will have to be at your house and call your friend at his house and suppose he/she was not there then you will have to wait them to come back to their house and call to your house. 1G solved this problem as it enabled us to call a person no matter where they ...

Entrepreneurs  are not born they are self made, it is something that has to come from within, it is the willingness to do something extraordinary, it is the burning desire to create difference in the world we are living in, it's something that comes from within and takes you to the highest level. Most of us want to be entrepreneurs we want to have our own startup but we do not know where to start, what should be done and what not. Let us look at some of the benefits of startup: 1. Financial Independence: Startup once successful can make lots and lots of money. Let us take an example of Flipkart. It is an Indian E-Commerce company established in 2007 by two IITians with an initial investment of 5,600 dollar  it later raised funds from venture capitalists and it's current revenue is 6.1 billion dollar. So if you start with a billion-dollar idea you will be able to make a lot of money through your startup if executed the right way. 2. Become an Employer instead of being an emplo...
