Science - A way of Life

 

Newton discovered gravitational force, Archimedes discovered buoyancy, Alexander discovered the first vaccine, Edison invented the bulb and the list goes on and on. 
All these great discoveries and inventions seemed to happen by chance but it actually requires a lot of research and scientific approach in thinking to unwrap the mystery of nature and discover new things.

Science is not only about studying complex laws and phenomena, it is a way of life.
The scientific method is used unconsciously by many people on a daily basis, for tasks such as cooking and budgeting. 
Understanding how to apply the scientific method to these seemingly non-scientific problems can be valuable in furthering one's career and in making health-related decisions.

It requires a systematic approach to complete any task or deal with a situation.
One needs to be very clear with the aim, material required and procedure. Also, observation and drawing conclusions for further reinforcement is an integral part of scientific method .
Let us take one example when you have to prepare for your class test.
Here, your first step is to set your aim that is to study for the test.
Then you will arrange the material required which includes your books, notes, stationery and ofcourse the syllabus for the test 
Then you will plan how to divide the time for different contents and the strategy for learning.
After appearing for the test you will get the feedback from teacher that is your result.
On the basis of your result, you will draw conclusions about the reinforcement in future.

Omit any of these 5 elements, and the scientific method cannot operate. 
Even if the order of these five elements changes the task could not be completed successfully.
This applies not only to studies but to everyday tasks also. 
It shall be the duty of every Indian citizen to develop scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform."
Constitution of India 1949 - Article 51 A(h)

To ensure Global well-being, the development of scientific temperament is important for all individuals.
An individual is considered to have a scientific temper if he employs a scientific method of decision-making in everyday life. 
 Developing scientific temper among people help in promoting tolerance for differing thoughts and ideas.
 This results in well being of a nation and world.

Injustice can never be justified.

How do we see people condoling someone in grief or pain? If we try to recollect out experiences and observations from real life situations or some movie, we will find that sharing the bad experiences and the pain of our life with a grieved person is the most common way to relieve someone's pain. But does it really lessen the pain? The answer is definitely No by any means. Recently I was reading some posts on Facebook. It explain why a doctor charge hefty amount for just 2 minutes consultation. The reason is that a patient no only pays for the 2 minutes consultation but for years of hardwork done by doctor to become able and proficient enough to deal with the disease of patient in 2 minutes. I wondered if it is true for doctors, engineers and other professionals, why the situation doesn't improve for a teacher. A teacher is still the lowest paid professional in India if we exclude government teachers. Even if we can't compare the investment done by teacher to become proficie...

Will you miss ME?

 Hi! Everyone It's me. There are different reasons why I am on this platform. The most significant one is ofcourse for communication. But you might be thinking why I need a platform like this to communicate. The answer is either I am not able to communicate everything worth sharing with the people I know or they are not able to comprehend the right meaning of what I want to say. Also, there is always a space for sensible people who can connect with me on the same mental and emotional ground. Recently I was pondering over the thought how people come in terms with the loss of people in their life and cope up with the stress of living with a permanent void in their life that is created after someone is left. It may be a permanent loss of person resulted due to death, a separation due to geographical boundaries or an emotional drift caused due to some friction in relationship. The reason may be anyone but the pain feels the same. Moving on without someone we desperately want in our lif...

Never let it go if it has to stay anyway!

People often say let bygones be bygones and move on. But what if the past has taken the best years of your life, and its echoes continue to haunt you, relentlessly replaying in your mind, moment by moment? A single painful memory may fade with time, but what about the relentless repetition of those memories, leaving you with no choice but to coexist with the pain? Acceptance is crucial, but there's a difference between accepting the truth and accepting the unbearable weight of that truth. Especially when you're forced to feign normalcy, avoiding endless arguments that might unearth the pain you've tried to bury. So, perhaps it's not about letting go, but about remembering the pain so vividly that one more instance becomes insignificant against the vast landscape of grievances."
