About three months back, I read somewhere that Church organizations in the USA tried to lobby to remove the theory of evolution and adding that the world is created some 10,000 years ago in science textbooks and history books. It got sizeable support. They even came close to implementing the teaching of both creationism and evolution as science. Honestly, my first reaction to that was laughter in...

This is Old news. Tesla, about a couple of years back, tried to fully automate the Gigafactory in hopes of scaling up the production to 300,000 units a year and then what began as popularly called “the Production Hell”. They struggled to keep up with the orders. Even Musk conceded that it was a mistake to fully automate the factory. This critique is not about Tesla in general; they are...

  The bicycle has been something that’s been with us since a very young age at least for our generation and we often take it for granted. Just another artifact which we use till we come of age and then throw it away. We seldom appreciate it. I always have been attracted to the simplicity of the bicycle and both of the cycles I ever had were the most rudimentary specimens of all...

Science is a really vague and all-encompassing term. If you think it’s not, then you have a serious misunderstanding of science. I want to expound on this a bit more. There used to be a time that the study of astronomy and certain parts of physics is theology, medicine is considered doctrine, chemistry is considered alchemy, and business, economics, and design are considered art. Every on...

This is probably among the more cliched topics I have written, but I am here writing about a life-changing experience of mine which I would like to share and it will be an absolute win for me if even one starts to read a book. Let's start with a quote I like. “Stupid people talk gossip, average people talk events, intelligent people talk ideas” This is a quote I find true...

This is something that I have been waiting to write for quite some time now, because I am just sick of every debate going around, especially in this lockdown time. But if anything, you can take away from this, that should be this - Things always look much clearer now than then – and this is a fact and let that sink in. Let’s get into some of the things happening around. Right now, e...

Range Anxiety has been the biggest buzzword in the EV industry for some time now. It is basically the feeling you get when the fuel gauge reads “E” and you are on reserve and have no idea when the engine will shut down- another thing to add is that there is no gas station nearby. That feeling could be a lot more pronounced in the EVs because of the lack of charging networks and limited...

I am now reading a book called “The Selfish Gene” by Richard Dawkins. This book has a reputation for being depressing and Boy, It didn't disappoint. Just because something is either depressing or weird, we shouldn’t dismiss the truth. Truth is way weirder and depressing than fiction indeed. This is not the point here. I found a couple of profound quotes in the introduction...

A few months back a Big Fortune 100 company came to our college for campus placement. I don’t want to name them, to avoid all sorts of consequences, but let me say this, they are a Construction, Mining, and Utility vehicle manufacturer. It is the highest paying mechanical engineering job offer of the year and everyone was eager. Their selection procedure was also one of the most elaborate. S...

If haven’t heard the news lately, Last week, US congresses have summoned the “big 4” tech CEOs for anti-trust reasons and grilled them for around 6 hours. To give you some background, Anti-trust laws are laws that can be enforced if big- monopolistic companies take part in anti-competitive behavior. When a company uses its power, unfairly, to kick the competition out of the ma...
