Long time no see!

-
It is hard to believe that it has been an entire year since I started this blog (almost). I haven't seen my friends or school in a long time. When we came back home, the virus had just started spreading. All of us expected to go back to school by June (2020). However, plans changed and we were told that we would come back in November. Since the number of cases continued to rise, our arrival was postponed to February of 2021. 

Unfortunately, we still couldn't go back to school - thanks to the rapid spreading of the infection. 



You must be wondering - "It couldn't get worse, right?" Well, not at all. It gets much worse. Our arrival was postponed to 1st July, but it is highly unlikely that we will actually go back. I might have to do another year of online classes.

Like I predicted earlier, I wouldn't be able to play basketball too well after an 8-month break. Turns out that I was absolutely right! I did manage to play basketball for 4 months but now, there's no way I will be able to.

My good friend Lalith and I started a website that has several unique calculators and an enigma replica (well sort of). We made these calculators with Python and embedded them on the website. Our calculators include -


It seems as though Bangalore may go back to lockdown mode with so many more cases. I may not be able to go back to school for another 6 months or so. Considering the fact that cases near my school have also increased, I may not be able to go back for another year (or maybe I am just exaggerating). 
I might have to do another year of online classes.




Whichever it may be all we can do is hope for the best and do whatever we can to stay busy and sane. Stay at home as far as possible. Wear proper masks and practice social distancing. Take care of our loved ones and of course, have a great time at home!

Online School vs Normal School

T oday I decided to compare online classes with real classes. By online school I mean the classes held during the pandemic with the help of video calls and online assignments. Normal school refer to the classes we have in school and the experience at school. This comparison explores the pros and cons of the two types of schools.  Online School:      Pros  Assignments : With Google Classroom it is much easier to keep track of assignments.  Internet : The internet can be a useful resource while studying. Recordings : Online classes are often recorded, which allows anyone to go back to them and watch them if needed to revise or if a class is missed.     Cons   Distractions : Since online classes require you to use a device, it is easy to get lost or distracted. Internet connection : During an online class, either your internet or other people's internet can have problems that disrupt the class or do not allow you to participate. Participation : When there are no people around, the sam

Infinity

There was a young fellow from Trinity Who took square root of infinity Square root of But the number of digits Gave him the fidgets; He dropped Math and took up Divinity. -- George Gamow (One Two Three...Infinity)  So what really is infinity? Infinity is an idea. It isn't really a concrete number. It is something that never ends, it goes on forever.  Transfinite Numbers As kids, all of us have baffled over the idea of the largest number there is. That’s when we came across “infinity” and we were told that it is the biggest “number”. Nevertheless, our curiosity wouldn't settle. Is there anything beyond that? If so, what is it? What if it told you there is. Well... sort of. Some infinities are bigger than others.  This idea can help you say that there are more points on a 1cm line than there are rational numbers in the universe or that there are an equal number of even numbers and even and odd numbers combined.  There is an infinite number of natural numbers (1,2,3 and so on).

Why am I not here?

I woke up one morning to find birds chirping outside my balcony. For a city like Bangalore this is quite unusual and surprising! I am quite used to bird calls at school but bird calls in Bangalore is a completely different mystery, or is it? Actually it is quite simple. Due to the lock down no one is outside driving a vehicle. For a change Bangalore has attracted some birds (not counting pigeons). Speaking of birds, every day an enormous flock of pigeons gather around the swimming pool and enjoy life there. They drink to their heart's content and fly away, only to return a short while after and quench their thirst. I have been doing this really fun thing recently. I was gifted this clay whistle which makes the sound a normal whistle makes. However ,when you fill it with water, it sound like the chirping of birds. People turn their heads my way when I blow it in my balcony! The whistle is also really cool because it looks like a bird! While I was folding the clothes I recalled my s
