Concentration camps and the holocaust are a constant reminder of the horrors of the war for supremacy and religion. Here's a story from hell
Okay, you probably will have a basic idea of what an artificial intelligence (ai) is, by now. You might even have used one in the form of Siri, Google Now or Cortana. AI in fact is growing so powerful, it can replace humans in all kinds of jobs in the not so far future. It means giving a computer the ability to automate, think and take decisions.
Rakhi or Raksha Bandhan is a ancient Hindu festival, in which sisters tie ‘rakhis’ on their brother’s hand. In return, the brother promises to protect his sister.
History The history of Raksha Bandhan is quite deep-rooted and is connected to several mythological and historical stories. The most popular one is linked to the story of Rani Karnavati of Chittorgarh and Mughal King Humayun. Chittorgarh was once attacked by Bahadur Shah and it was not possible for widowed Rani Karnavati to save her empire from the mighty force of Bahadur Shah. She sent a rakhi to Humayun and pleaded to save her and the empire. Overcome by emotions, Humayun, along with his force, immediately rushed to Chittorgarh to protect the queen. Though he could not save Karnavati as she and all other womenfolk there had committed suicide before he could reach, Humayun fought against Bahadur Shah and saved Chittorgarh from his invasion. Later, he handed over the empire to Karnavati’s son Vikramjeet Singh. There are many mythological stories linked to Raksha Bandhan’s origin. One about Hindu mythological characters Krishna and Draupadi is very popular. According to the story, when Krishna cut his finger once, Draupadi covered the cut by tearing a piece of cloth from her saree. Krishna then promised to save her whenever she needs his help. He kept his vow in all circumstances. Another mythological story links the festival with demon king Bali and Goddess Laxmi. According to the story, Laxmi’s husband Vishnu was asked by Bali to live in his palace, which Laxmi did not want. She tied a thread on Bali’s wrist and thus made him her brother. When Bali asked her what she wants in return, the Goddess asked him to free Vishnu from the moral binding of staying in his palace, which Bali granted. So, this is a festival signifying love, goodness, and happiness. Okay then, festivities call me. Cheers! -Naman Okay, so this is the first post by me and I’m excited about this blogging stuff. First thing one should know about me is that I’m a big time tech enthusiast. So, most of the posts I will write would presumably be about tech. I love tinkering, diy, art, music, reading, robotics and coding to name a few. I am always enthusiastic about creating new things and innovating. Also, I am a procrastinator (which doesn’t help me much). My life currently consists of, well, screens and studies. That’s kind of it except high school, and some continuously occurring weird events that are beyond words. So, this blog is in my opinion a expression of myself and my interests, and of the other four bloggers. We are a bunch of mostly carefree, weird and crazy teenagers that just found out what high school is like. I will hopefully will be writing posts regularly, presenting my opinions on the happenings around me, my experiences, reads, creations and other stuff that I am to find out…
Cheers, Naman Kumar |
