Post-Class Reflection - Sept 02

Sept-02 I was having a rough day as the submission date for the engineering drawing was near and was busy drawing since the whole morning till the noon. I was just trying to get a short nap after I had my morning meal of the day but it was not going to happen as the English class was going to start within 30 minutes. I joined the meet and I found most of the students had already joined and our teacher was also there and he was asking who the presenters were for the day. There were two presentations in line and they were going to be presented by Mani and Jamyang combined and the next was going to be presented by Ayush. Our teacher put forward a question if some people really are Mr. Know All. I thought "Mr. Know All" was someone who corrects people immediately if they make any mistakes in a usual conversation. I had this vague idea and was unsure of it since I had heard "Mr. Know All" only once in a series "The Big Bang Theory" where a character, "S...

The Most Hectic Day of my Life.

  October 20, Time: 9:43PM I was not in the mood to write today but today's events made me write about the day. It was just another day like usual but a bit colder. The whole day just passed without me accomplishing anything and I was trying to catch up with my studies by trying to complete my blogs for my English subject. I was trying to remember the events that took place during the classes about a month ago and surprisingly it was not as vague as I expected. I was fluent with my typing and I was feeling good. I wrote the post-class reflections and I also wrote a short story/ essay of the assignment of Dashain. Practically, I was not too late since today, is actually the last day of Dashain and people even put on "tika" till Purnima and I was still writing my Dashain assignment while it was still Dashain. The day passed with me playing one of the oldest games, "Clash of Clans" and I was feeling great as I was making huge progress in the game. In the evenin...

Bijay Shahi- The memory king?

Image
Bijay Shahi is a faker! I just watched a video where a man memorized a whole book and wrote some random pages of that book as asked by the interviewer. The way he expressed himself was laughable. Seriously, what is that sound he made while flipping through the pages? And the funniest part is that he has the interviewer pour down water for this, "memory king" to be able to flip through the pages faster. Anyone can guess that this is fake, but still this is going viral on media like its some sort of wildfire. I am trying to control myself but these uncertified YouTube journalists are going out of their way, trying to get popular with fake news. Now has come the situation where some people may think if these journalists actually are not trying to gain viewers by making some random guy do unrealistic tasks for them. Let's just hope that they are not. But it still brings us to some questions, "Are they out of their mind?" "Do these so called journalists know wha...

Post-Class Reflection- Aug 26

Aug-26   Today, it was a bit different from other days as I was going to present the topic "Keeping Errors at Bay" with my colleague, Rajaram Karki. We were excited and enthusiastic and apart from all, I was a bit nervous too for it was going to be my first presentation in my whole life. I had prepared for it by jotting down few key points that I would focus during the presentation. The class started and there were three presentations in the line. Luckily, we had our presentation allocated at the final slot and we were able to be familiar with the tense environment. We had our teacher evaluate our works. First came by the presentation about "Travel Report" and the thing I found interesting was the idea of Q and A session during the presentation. It really tested the attention of the students. I found the writing process and purpose of travel reports fairly familiar. I don't know how but it was somehow a derived portion of different report writing with the key ...

Fourth Dimension and Beyond

Image
  We live in a world of three dimensions. It means that the physical objects around us have a basic geometry that includes length, breadth/width and height. We have the ability to perceive the things around us in 3D. We can imagine a world in one dimension where the objects can only move in a straight line. We can also imagine a world in two dimension where the objects can move in two directions and within that plane. No surprise, we are also able to understand and imagine the world of three dimensions, the very 3D world we live in. Now the confusion here are "Is there the fourth dimension? Can a universe of n-dimensions where n is any arbitrary positive number be possible? What would a universe greater than three dimensions look like?" To answer these questions, let's dig into a basic world of one dimension where any object can move only in a straight line. The objects/organisms in that dimension will have no concept of existence of a plane or a 2D world and hence they...

SPORTS or E-SPORTS?

An alternative way to compete in the field of virtual gaming is the science behind the e-sports. The traditional way to compete in the outdoor or indoor games as a professional to making it a career was the only way to shine as a renowned player until 1990 when the growth of online video gaming became popular. It is required to be physically fit, young, skillful and have a good decision making capacity to be a well established player in the sports industry. The daily routine of an athlete would be to be on a healthy diet. go to gym, practice on the skill sets and develop a good teamwork. The main focus would be to maintain the body so that the stamina would not lag behind and be on a good form for the game. Now, with the platform to compete virtually in the games which people love to spend time on, a recent survey conducted by Limelight, according to Irish Tech News revealed that more young men now prefer to watch e-sports than traditional sports, with e-sports being their second most ...

Post Class Reflection 01

It was just like every normal morning but the morning was scheduled with an English class. I was waiting for the link to be public to the students but due to some technical issues, our class did not start as planned. After a while, the link was provided and we joined the class. Our teacher looked happy. He told us that he had obtained the premium version of Zoom meetings and was happy. Just as he expressed his happiness, there was some technical issues and our teacher hanged up. After he joined again, he said, "It must be due to the some kind of update." It was planned that the students would present the topics selected for them. And here came our first duo, Abishek KC and Pujan Jangam. Pujan started the presentation with short introduction and all. It was followed by Abishek and he concluded the topic himself. We enjoyed the presentation but the it was not recorded. So, to keep a small portion of their presentation, Pujan was requested to do the introductory part once more a...
