ADVISOR’ADVISOR’S MESSAGES MESSAGE
A
Revista is being released on the occasion of College Day of REC,
celebrated annually. It is a time to recall our accomplishments of
the year passed, greet and congratulate our students, staff and
faculty who have made it possible. We also take stock of the
progress and focus and reflect on the year ahead.
To spur us to strive further and more, I am happy to share the
following by way of drawing inspiration for ourselves.
When Hitler met Indian hockey plater Dhyan Chand, in 1936,
India was playing the German team in the Olympic hockey final
match in Germany. Adolf Hitler was invited as Chief Guest for
the finals. There was tremendous pressure on the German team to
win the final. As the match progressed the magic of Dhyan
Chand began to unfold, and, by the half-time India was ahead
by 4-0. This made Hitler visibly angry and he left the stadium as
he could not see his team lose.
Later, Hitler came to know about Dhyan Chand’s performance
and the result of the match, he expressed his desire to meet
Dhyan Chand. When Dhyan Chand came to know about this, he
was numb with fear, as he had heard about Adolf Hitler. The
next morning Dhyan Chand was standing in front of Hitler.
Hitler looked at the sub-standard canvas shoes of Dhyan Chand
and asked “What else do you do besides play hockey?”
Dhyan Chand said “I am in Army”. Hitler asked “What is your
rank?” and Dhyan Chand replied “Lance Nayak”. Then Hitler
said “come over to Germany and I will make you a Field
Marshal”. Dhyan Chand could not understand what was
happening for a fleeting second – confused whether it was a
proposal or an order. Quickly, Dhyan Chand replied “India is my
country and I am happy there”. Hitler replied “As you like” and
walked away. Dhyan Chand graciously declined thus showing
his love and respect for our country. In 1956, Dhyan Chand
retired as Major form Indian army and in the same year, he was
decorated with the Padma Bhushan award.
Striving for and pursuing Excellence, Humility and spirit of
Nationalism are hall marks of a great citizen and radiates
inspiration.

Revolutions are consequences of human needs, desire to expand and grow. Technologies used today
are improvisations of basic concepts laid during previous revolutions. One such revolution that had
and is still continuing to have a great impact on human life is the industrial revolution. Let us see a
broad overview of the 4 industrial Revolutions and the key inventions in each era that ushered us into
new age.

The First Usable Steam Engine: The operating cost of using horses to pump water out of mines was
high, which led to the invention of atmospheric steam engine, by Thomas Newcomen. Spinning Jenny:
The textile industry saw a booming change on this invention. It was a consequence of the need to
meet the increasing demand for silk. This was a daunting task for workers as hand weaving took a lot
of time. James Watt’s Steam Engine: His invention was a stepping stone which led to the first railway
steam locomotive and the first steam boat (Clermont)

Telegraph and Morse: The first working telegraph started operating in 1844. Morse code, comprising
of dots and dashes were used for long distance communication. Telephones: It was Antonio Meucci
who came up with the talking telegram or the telephone but Alexander Graham Bell came to be
called the father of communication. The telephone ensured privacy in conversation. The Light Bulb:
Thomas Edison’s patent for the light bulb was filed after several proposals of light bulbs that got worn
out very quickly. This invention had twofold effect. People could light up their homes and work during
odd hours thereby increasing productivity and it also accelerated the adoption of electricity. The First
Flight: The Wright Brothers invented a 3 axis system which made sailing on the skies at high speeds,
more stable. Model T: It was the innovation of the legend, Henry Ford. The introduction of the
assembly line was a reason why Model T was such a hit. This brought down the cost considerably and
changed how Americans travel forever.

It appeared with the emergence of a new type of energy: the nuclear energy. This era also witnessed
the rise of electronics – transistors processors, controllers, telecom and computers. It led to the
production of miniaturized products which made way to innovations in space search and
biotechnology.
Space search led to launching of satellites which linked different parts of the world.
Automation: It is a self-operating machine, or a control mechanism designed to automatically follow a
predetermined sequence of operations, or respond to predetermined instructions. Programmable
Logic circuits: A programmable logic controller (PLC) or programmable controller is an industrial
digital computer which has been ruggedized and adapted for the control of manufacturing processes,
such as assembly lines, or robotic devices, or any activity that requires high reliability control and ease
of programming and process fault diagnosis.

All new developments and technologies have one key feature in common: they leverage the pervasive
power of digitization and information technology. There are four main physical manifestations of the
technological mega trends that led to the revolution: Autonomous vehicles, 3D printing, Advanced
robotics and New materials. One of the main bridges between the physical and digital applications
1
enabled by the fourth industrial revolution is the internet of things (IoT) – sometimes called the
“internet of all things”. Some of the key areas of innovations in Industry 4.0 are Implantable
Technologies, Our Digital Presence, Wearable Internet, Ubiquitous Computing, A Supercomputer in
Your Pocket, Storage for All, The Internet of and for Things, The Connected Home, Smart Cities, Big
Data for Decisions, Driverless Cars, Artificial Intelligence and Decision-Making, Robotics. An IoT
gateway device bridges the communication gap between IoT devices, sensors, equipment, systems
and the cloud. By systematically connecting the field and the cloud, IoT gateway devices offer local
processing and storage solutions, as well as the ability to autonomously control field devices based on
data input by sensors. An Edge Gateway sits at the intersection of edge systems, between the external
internet and the local intranet that is being used by the other devices in your ecosystem. Thus it is the
key access point for network connectivity, both inside and outside your device ecosystem. Sensors and
numerous other means of connecting things in the physical world to virtual networks are proliferating
at an astounding pace. Smaller, cheaper and smarter sensors are being installed in homes, clothes and
accessories, cities, transport and energy networks, as well as manufacturing processes. Today, there
are billions of devices around the world such as smart phones, tablets and computers that are
connected to the internet. Their numbers are expected to increase dramatically over the next few
years, with estimates ranging from several billions to more than a trillion. In the process, it will have
transformative impact across all industries, from manufacturing to infrastructure to healthcare. Let us
now see briefly the Evolution of Self Driving Cars employing the concepts of Embedded Systems,
Artificial Intelligence.

Self driving carsSelf driving cars
In the early morning you start from home towards the workplace. You take your briefcase, leave your
house, and step into your car. You press a button and tell: “Okay, take me to the office”. Your car
tracks a route, taking into account which roads will have the least traffic. In the back seat, you have
time to prepare your documents, drink your morning coffee or browse as the car drives itself - safely at
the exact speed limit - to your office. For decades, this was pure science fiction, but self-driving cars
are beginning to enter the sphere of science fact. With Google, Tesla, and others actively working on
their development, we could start seeing them in our driveways by 2020.
T The beginning of the inventionhe beginning of the invention
The beginning of the inventionThe beginning of the invention
In 1925, the inventor Francis Houdina demonstrates a radio-controlled car, which he drives through
the streets of Manhattan without anyone at the steering wheel. According to the New York Times, the
radio-controlled vehicle can start its engine, shift gears, and sound its horn. In 1969, John McCarthy,
one of the founding fathers of artificial intelligence came closest to describing the modern
autonomous vehicle in an essay titled “Computer-controlled cars.” He referred to an “automatic
chauffeur,” capable of navigating a public road via a “television camera input that uses the same visual
input available to the human driver.” He wrote that users should be able to enter a destination using a
keyboard, which would prompt the car to immediately drive them there. Additional commands
allowed the users to change destination, stop at a restaurant, slow down when needed or speed up in
the case of an emergency. No such vehicle is built, but McCarthy’s essay lays out the mission for other
researchers to investigate further.

To build an autonomous driving system that was more adaptable across a variety of conditions, neural
network was used. Dean A. Pomerleau describes a learning system, called ALVINN (Autonomous Land
Vehicle In a Neural Network). It is an artificial neural network designed to control the Navlab,
Carnegie mellon’s autonomous driving test vehicle. In 1995, Pomerleau and fellow researcher Todd
Jochem took their Navlab, the self-driving car system on the road.

In 2002, DARPA announced its Grand Challenge, to researchers to build an autonomous vehicle able
to navigate 142 miles through the Mojave Desert. When the challenge started in 2004, none of the 15
competitors were able to complete the course. The “winning” entry made it less than eight miles in
several hours, before catching fire. It was a set back to the goal of building real self-driving cars.
Parking gets smarter. While autonomous vehicles still seemed quiet away, in the early 21st century,
self-parking systems began to emerge — demonstrating that sensors and autonomous road
2
technologies are getting closer for real world scenarios. Toyoto’s Japanese Prius hybrid vehicle
offered automatic parallel parking assistance, starting from 2003, while Lexus soon added a similar
system for its Lexus LS sedan, Ford incorporates Active Park Assist in 2009, and BMW followed one
year later with its own parallel parking assistant.

Waymo began as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009 with a mission of making it safe and easy
for everyone to get around - without the need for anyone in the driver’s seat. By 2013, major
automotive companies including General Motors, Ford, Mercedes Benz, BMW and others started
working on their own self-driving car technologies. Nissan commits to a launch date by announcing
that it will release several driverless cars by the year 2020. Other cars, such as the 2014 Mercedes S-
Class, added semi-autonomous features such as self-steering, the ability to stay within lanes, accident
avoidance, and more. The likes of Tesla and Uber also began actively exploring self-driving
technology.

Tim Anderson, culinary innovator and winner of the prestigious BBC Master Chef competition (2011)
played an integral role in the kitchen’s development. He first developed a dish that would test the
systems capabilities—a crab bisque—and was then recorded in 3D in a special studio cooking it. Every
motion was captured, from the way Tim stirred the liquids to the way he controlled the temperature of
the hob. This motion capture technique will be used to generate an ever growing digital library of
recipes for the Moley kitchen to cook. The recorded recipe can be cooked by the robotic kitchen an
unlimited amount of times, enabling your favourite dishes to be passed down the generations.

Robots and autonomous systems, together with artificial intelligence, connected data and digital
infrastructure have the potential to modernize the way in which social and medical care are offered to
the elderly. The Dinsow elder care robot from CT Asia Robotics acts as a personal assistant of many
sorts. Its helps human to take their pills at the right time, tracks their health and automatically answers
incoming calls from family and doctors. The ElliQ is an interactive robot with an integrated tablet. The
ElliQ tracks its user’s pill schedule and connects them to family, friends and medical professionals
through video calls and social media. It acts as a companion, can check the weather and suggest
outdoor activities. The ElliQ learns through machine learning to figure out user’s preferences and
regular habits. It then makes proactive activity recommendations based on what user enjoys most. The
rising costs of care and the need to provide much better levels of support for the ageing population,
these advancing technologies, will help them to live with good health and comfort.
In conclusion, upon addressing the history and the physical ecosystem, it is quite interesting to see
how the world will actually become by the year 2020, with driverless cars, Robotic kitchen and robots
in social care.

Planning for lanning for Renewable energy systemsRenewable energy systems
We are all well aware that demand for electrical power is rapidly growing and so every effort should
be taken to plan and continue to increase the installed power capacity. With depleting fossil fuels, our
emphasis has naturally shifted to renewable sources, particularly the wind and solar and there is an
ambitious target of achieving 175 GW by 2022. More over, there is also a plan to convert a major
portion the transport fleet to electric vehicles, which will obviously require a huge charging
infrastructure.
At this point, there is also a raising concern that the large wind energy establishments consisting of
number of wind turbine-generator units of MW ratings, produce environmental impact and affect the
local ecosystem. So, care should be taken to ensure that large scale installation of windmills and
associated power transmission lines do not destroy the habitat of birds of that region and their
seasonal movements. Deserts, often considered as waste lands, are locations of spectacular wild life,
and they should not be endangered by our ambitious plan of reaching the target of huge renewable
energy generation. The ecological footprint of an individual wind turbine or solar panel might be
negligible, but massive wind or solar farm require huge swathes of land. Roads are constructed to
carry turbines and earth movers break through the forests or grass lands and alter the landscape,
which are gift of nature.
In this context, one approach could be to popularize small capacity wind power generation, in the
order of 50 -100 kW, and utilize it for supplying isolated loads, such as irrigation of agricultural farms
of few hundred acres. This will enable the expansion of electric vehicle transportation to fulfill the
goal of maintaining eco-friendly environment and obviate the need for large scale speedy
modernization of electricity grid, since these local systems work in isolation, devoid of grid
connection. For such smaller capacity ratings, squirrel cage induction machines can be used as
generators driven by wind turbines, owing to their brushless configuration, robustness, nil
maintenance and low cost. In such stand alone power generating systems, as the load expands, it
would be necessary to add additional generator systems. Such parallel connected generators can be
of different power ratings and may even run at different speeds but resulting in a common terminal
voltage and frequency at the load terminals.
4
In recent times, the setting up of solar photovoltaic systems has come in a big way and roof top solar
panels for individual house supply and erecting panels used for street lighting have become very
common. The provision for feeding the power in excess of the home requirement back to the grid has
encouraged the installation of solar panels and inverters. In tropical country like ours, where the sun’s
irradiation is available for most part of the year, is an added advantage.
In future, hybrid systems, combining small scale wind power and solar panels would become popular.
However, further research and testing would be required for incorporating suitable cost-effective
power electronic controllers, for appropriately connecting the ac output of the wind generators and
the dc output of the solar panels, for ensuring stable power terminals satisfying the specified power
quality parameters, so that both usual ac loads and dc loads such as battery charging can be supplied.
Since the availability of wind energy is seasonal, developing suitable cost effective, surplus energy
storage systems should also developed.

At the center of Web of Science Core Collection are three flagship Citation Indexes, namely, the
Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) and the Arts &
Humanities Citation Index (AHCI). These Citation Indexes cover the world’s top tier international and
regional journals whose evaluation and selection is governed by the Web of Science Core Collection
Journal Selection Process, a well-established set of criteria that have been applied consistently for
over fifty years. Citation impact is one of the defining characteristics of journals covered in SCIE and
SSCI. Measurable citation impact, as expressed in the Journal Impact Factor, is published annually for
journals covered in SCIE and SSCI.
Emerging Sources Citation Index is a new edition in Web of Science Core Collection. ESCI is a
multidisciplinary Citation Index covering all areas of the scholarly literature of the sciences, social
sciences and arts & humanities. The Core Collection Journal Selection Process now includes a set of
fundamental criteria that govern the selection of Journals for ESCI. The selection process for ESCI is
related to the process applied to SCIE, SSCI and AHCI. Journals accepted for coverage in ESCI must be
peer reviewed, follow ethical publishing practices, meet our technical requirements, have English
language bibliographic information, and be recommended or requested by a scholarly audience of
Web of Science users.
While some journals under evaluation are selected directly into one or more of the flagship Citation
Indexes (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI) many other eligible journals will be covered initially in ESCI. Journals
covered initially in ESCI may be evaluated later for coverage in SCIE, SSCI or AHCI. Coverage in ESCI,
however, does not guarantee eventual acceptance into SCIE, SSCI or AHCI. Indeed, some journals that
need to be deselected from coverage in SCIE, SSCI or AHCI may migrate to coverage in ESCI.
In addition, we do not calculate Journal Impact Factor metrics for journals covered in ESCI. Only
journals that are selected for SCIE and SSCI will be listed in the Journal Citation Reports with Journal
Impact Factor and related metrics. The data underlying the metrics are drawn from the Citation
Indexes that comprise the Web of Science Core Collection: SCIE, SSCI, AHCI, ESCI, and the
Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI). (Journal Impact Factors are not calculated for journals
covered solely in AHCI.)
Because ESCI is a true Citation Index it is possible for users to track citation activity at the article and
publication levels. Moreover, the citation activity for journals covered in ESCI will be used in the
5
Journal Selection Process for SCIE, SSCI and AHCI and will enhance the transparency of that aspect of
the Process. We will not, however, publish an official Impact Factor for publications covered in ESCI.
Impact Factors are published annually in the Journal Citation Reports for SCIE and SSCI journals
exclusively.
The Web of Science Core Collection Journal Selection Process now includes those criteria that
Editorial Development applies to journals evaluated and selected (or rejected) for the ESCI. The
Journal Selection Process for the central focus of Core Collection, namely, SCIE, SSCI and AHCI,
remains fundamentally unchanged and consistent. SCIE, SSCI and AHCI continue to define the highly
selective and central focus of Core Collection.

Ahmed Ibrahim Wakea Allah is a farmer in Sudan. By taking part in an e-agriculture project, he
quadrupled his wheat yield in just one year and went from making a loss of 8000 Sudanese pounds in
the 2013/14 season to a profit of 80 000 Sudanese pounds in 2014/15. E-agriculture is an emerging
field that sees agricultural services, technology dissemination, information and communication
delivered or enhanced through the internet of things (IoT).

Agriculture is strategically important in supporting the livelihoods of the majority of the rural
population in Africa and closer to home in South Africa. The growth of e-agriculture has the potential
to accelerate agriculture and rural development, promote food security and reduce rural poverty in
developing markets.
While farmers and their machinery are still key for the agricultural industry, technology is starting to
play a more significant role in uplifting communities. This goes beyond basic computer training to
using ICT to improve sustainability, efficiency and profitability of small-scale farming. ICT can
facilitate relationship building with trusted suppliers of seeds and fertiliser; purchasing aggregation
where multiple buyers can result in lower pricing; access to cultivation information and best practices;
and an overall reduction in labour costs and wastage.
Ahmed experienced this first-hand when he took part in FieldLook Sudan. The project uses satellite
imagery to improve water management and crop husbandry. Satellite images are used to provide
information on crop growth, humidity and the nutrient needs of plants. Based on this, along with the
current state of the farm, expected weather and the date of last irrigation, specialists send SMS
messages to farmers’ phones informing them of the best time to irrigate, when to apply fertiliser and
other crop husbandry advice. Ahmed and other farmers participating in the project now irrigate their
crops more often, but use less water. They have all seen increases in their crop yields averaging 60%,
and their confidence in using ICTs continues to grow.
Beyond this project, the 2015 eLearning Africa Report shows that ICTs are having a significant impact
on the productivity and efficiency of the continent’s agriculture. A survey reports that 71% of farmers
have used ICTs to improve their farming practices, with 90% saying ICTs are helping to improve food
security and sustainability, as well as boost yields and improve income.

However, an important caveat is that 60% of the same farmers questioned feel they do not have
sufficient access to ICTs. The main barriers preventing a greater uptake of e-agriculture include issues
6
around connectivity, bandwidth and electricity supply, as well as the high cost of equipment and
services and lack of government support. What is needed is the buy-in and partnering of the public
and private sector to scale projects like FieldLook Sudan so that they impact the large proportion of
farmers on the continent. In South Africa, the government needs to realise the importance of e-
agriculture and the IoT in the agricultural sector and upskill emergent farmers.

Companies like Intel are already on board with various e-agriculture initiatives globally. In India, a
joint collaboration between the Grameen Trust and Intel, called Grameen Intel Social Business, is
addressing low agricultural output, which impacts poverty and food security. In this initiative, support
for e-agricultural programs includes productivity software, technological advice and training,
community empowerment, ecosystem structures and building, training of entrepreneurs and capacity
building for sustainable agriculture and rural development.

Closer to home, Ronin PFS is providing guidance and precision farming equipment in South Africa –
just beginning to fill a gap in the ICT sector.
The Bredasdorp Agri Mega Week also recently showcased just how ICT is being used in the
agricultural space. Motorola promoted its IRRInet irrigation syste, which makes use of a typical
Motorola communication network for solenoid control. Sustainable food security was also a
prominent topic, with e-agriculture touted as a solution to this issue.

However, e-agriculture does tend to be overlooked as a viable and profitable sector and the result has
been the development of in-house solutions as opposed to solutions coming from the ICT distribution
sector. Intel is a great example of the success of providing solutions at the heart of the ICT sector. The
sector is, after all, at the centre of solutions like developing better weather mapping thanks to faster
computers and more accurate data input; implementing wireless to help curb cable theft; and making
use of solar energy and battery storage to circumvent power shortages. These are all building blocks in
constructing workable e-agriculture solutions.
In this vein, the Rectron distribution model lends itself to e-agriculture with its green energy solutions,
wireless and fixed line communication networking, security surveillance, Intel Next Unit Computing
(NUC), the cloud, industrial computing and embedded systems. In addition, premium 3D printing
brand in the stable, MakerBot, has the potential to assist in the prototyping and manufacturing of
unique and industry-specific parts and tools.
Rectron is certainly evolving, seeing the importance of IoT in paving the way for areas including green
energy solutions, industrial computing and of course e-agriculture. Most importantly, new
partnerships now include many more market verticals than before, all connected through the common
gateway of IoT.

As agriculture makes up a large proportion of Africa’s GDP, boosting agricultural growth and
sustainability is a priority – and ICTs have the potential to support agricultural development in poor
countries by functioning as innovative solutions to agricultural challenges. Agriculture might be a
relatively new area for the ICT sector to think about, but it is an important one. In fact, IoT and e-
agriculture is no longer a luxury, but rather tantamount to every farmer’s profitability and existence.

How to Writeow to Write a Good Book a Good Book –– A TamiA Tamill Grammar PerspectiveGrammar Perspective
How to WriteHow to Write a Good Book a Good Book –– A TamiA Tamill Grammar PerspectiveGrammar Perspective
1. Introduction
Writing is easy, good writing is not! Be it a single page monograph or an entire book, when it comes
to conveying something technical you need to learn some essential rules – one such set is available in
traditional Tamiḻ grammars. Though these ideas are conceived and conveyed as early as 2000 or
2500 years before, they are embedded precisely and nicely in a 1000 year old Tamiḻ grammar named
Naṉṉūl (ந ). This article aims to provide a concise yet comprehensive glimpse of this age old
definitions of good writing. (Interestingly, the name Naṉṉūl literally means ‘good book’ – this is
considered to be a name given due to the well framed structure of the work!)
2. Tamil Grammar and Naṉṉūl
Tamiḻ grammar tradition is very old. In fact, it is one of the oldest among the world languages. Tamiḻ
grammar tradition starts with Tolkāppiyam (the oldest extant Tamil grammar as well as literature).
Tolkāppiyam expounds on the three basic aspects of the language in detail, viz. eḻutu (phonology),
col (morphology) and poruḷ (context & content). The poruḷ part of Tolkāppiyam also incorporates
yāppu (versification / prosody) and aṇi (aesthetics / poetic instruments) grammars. Together, all these
make up the five-fold grammar of Tamiḻ (Tamiḻ Aintilakkaṇam).
Naṉṉūl, which appeared approximately 1500 – 1700 years after Tolkāppiyam, talks only about eḻutu
and col. Though there are other works in between, most of them are lost to time. Naṉṉūl serves to
highlight the development of the language since the time of Tolkāppiyam, thus serving as an
important milestone in the road of Tamiḻ grammar. This and the fact that Naṉṉūl’s treatment is easier
to approach than that of Tolkāppiyam, owing to its chronology, makes the book preferable as an
introductory level text to teach Tamiḻ grammar. Thus Naṉṉūl finds its place among school text
books. Students are made to commit Naṉṉūl verses to memory – a common practise in our ancient
teaching tradition!
3. Pāyiram – The Preface
It is customary for Tamiḻ books, especially the technical ones, to begin with a pāyiram – the preface.
Pāyiram is of two types: the special (ciṟappu-pāyiram) and the general (potu-pāyiram). Ciṟappu
pāyiram basically enumerates the bibliography; giving details such as the title, author, context,
intended readers, purpose, etc. (And hence it is unique to each book, thus the name!) However, the
potu-pāyiram talks about the general aspects of the four basic elements: the book (nūl), the author
(āciriyar), the student (māṇavar), and the process of teaching-learning (pāṭam collal / pāṭam kēṭṭal).
It is the potu-pāyiram that we are interested in, for it expounds on the aspects of a good book (potu-
pāyiram’s description of the author, student and the teaching –learning process are subjects for
separate articles!)
Naṉṉūl’s potu-pāyiram starts by describing the qualities of a book. It defines a book, its types,
purpose, stance, demerits, merits, techniques, and structure.
I wish to discuss the ten demerits and the ten merits, as enumerated in Naṉṉūl’s potu-pāyiram, a
book / an article should avoid and incorporate, respectively, to be designated as ‘good’.
8
4. Pattu Kuṟṟam – The Ten Demerits
Any article or book should avoid the following ten aspects for it to be good:
ற ற , மிைகபட ற ,
Translitertion:
kuṉṟak kūṟal, mikaipaṭak kūṟal,
றிய ற , மா ெகாள ற ,
வ உ ெசா ண த , மய!க ைவ த , kūṟiyatu kūṟal, māṟukoḷak kūṟal, vaḻūuccoṟ

ceṉṟutēyntu iṟutal, niṉṟu payaṉiṉmai
எ றிைவ ஈைர! ற. / ேக.
eṉṟivai īraiṅ kuṟṟam nūṟkē.
4.1 kuṉṟak kūṟal:
This is being deficit in words or explanation. Using lesser words than is necessary to adequately
explain a concept / idea will lead to incompleteness. Thus it becomes a demerit.
4.2 mikaipaṭak kūṟal:
This is the other extreme of the above - presence of superfluous language or being redundant. This
will lead to unnecessary confusion and will also dilute the rigor of the article or book and hence a
demerit.
4.3 kūṟiyatu kūṟal:
This is a common aspect seen in many contemporary books – repeating or redefining what stated or
defined already. Apart from raising unwanted misunderstanding, repeating definitions will
compromise the structure of a book. It also assumes that the readers are not capable of understanding
or remembering things in the first go itself.
4.4 māṟukoḷak kūṟal:
This is defining or stating something that is ambiguous or not in line with the already defined things.
This obviously leads to uncertainty in conveying the intended message.
4.5 vaḻūuccol puṇarttal:
Using wrong words or terms is an obvious demerit. This includes both grammatically incorrect
words as well as misnomers – terms that don’t fit the context and/or glossary of the subject being
treated.
4.6 mayaṅka vaittal:
Phrasing sentences that lead to ambiguous interpretations. Ambiguity should be avoided at any cost.
(However, there is a technique, one of the 32, known as ‘iraṭṭuṟa moḻital’ (இர0#ற ெமாழித ) where
the author purposely encodes the verse to be interpreted in two or more different ways. This is used
to encode / encrypt more precious information or simply to be economic. This technique differs from
the current demerit in that the many possible interpretations are all contextually correct and useful
ones and do not lead to any ambiguity or confusion.
4.7 veṟṟeṉat toṭuttal:
Adding content that doesn’t add any useful information to the subject being discussed leads to this
demerit. Some authors fall in to the fallacy of counting pages and would write simply to add more
pages to their article or book without regard to whether they really add weight to the subject. This
would obviously tire down the reader and make the book / article boring and repulsive!
4.8 maṟṟoṉṟu virittal:
This is taking a detour and expounding on some other topic in the middle of a topic. This dilutes both
the current topic and the detour topic by scattering the attention of the reader (and that of the author,
often!) and is thus a demerit.
9
4.9 ceṉṟutēyntu iṟutal:
Many authors begin with much rigor and enthusiasm but get damped during the process. Such books
will show a gradient in its treatment of the subject beginning with rigor and dying out eventually.
Since the impact left by a book heavily depends on its end, a book incorporating this demerit will
obviously leave less or no impact!
4.10 niṉṟu payaṉiṉmai:
Any definition or chapter, or sometimes an entire book that has no useful contribution would fall
under this demerit. Every single word should have a purpose. So it is for a book. A good author will
always justify his writing the book, despite the existence of books in the same field.
5. Pattu Aḻaku – The Ten Merits
Essentially, the ten merits, every good book / article should incorporate, is the opposite of the ten
demerits listed above.
Transliteration:

ākutal – nūliṟku aḻakeṉum pattē.
ஆ த - /லி அழெக;. ப ேத.
5.1. curuṅkac collal:
This is the opposite of ‘kuṉṟak kūṟal’ – using less than necessary words is a fault, but using as
minimum words as possible is a merit.
5.2 viḷaṅka vaittal:
This is the opposite of ‘mikaipaṭak kūṟal’ – being superfluous is a fault, but explaining adequately is
a merit. In a nut shell, an author should aim for brevity without sacrificing clarity.
5.3 naviṉṟōrkku iṉimai:
The text should be pleasing for the reader. This is a natural consequence of the fact that almost all
ancient Tamiḻ works are composed in verse form. Though this merit might sound outdated (since we
prefer prose than poetry to convey knowledge in this age,) it is not! Even prose can be composed in
order to be pleasing for the reader. Some obvious examples are: using short simple sentences and
avoiding the repetition of the same verb or adjective often.
5.4 naṉmoḻi puṇarttal:
This is the opposite of ‘vaḻūuccol puṇarttal’ – avoiding misnomers and improper glossary.
5.5 ōcai uṭaimai:
This again is due to the ancient practise of versifying texts of all fields. One of the basic aspects of
verse is their underlying rhythm. This rhythm is called as ōcai in Tamiḻ. Such rhythms and other
versification techniques (such as alliteration, rhyme, etc) aids in memorizing the verses.
5.6 āḻamuṭaittu ātal:
This contrasts with ‘veṟṟeṉat toṭuttal’ – while a text should not simply be developed for the sake of
filling pages, the author should ensure that the work makes sense in multiple levels – ever deeper as
the readers grow more and more mature.
Tirukkuṟaḷ is a very good example for this aspect – the book is taught at various levels, from
elementary school to undergraduate to lifelong learning, and makes deeper and deeper sense based
on the maturity of the reader.
10
5.7 muṟaiyiṉ vaippu:
This is proper structuring. Concepts should be presented in some logical order. A build-up of
knowledge and rigor should be ensured.
5.8 ulakam malaiyāmai:
This refers to the book or any of its concept not contradicting already established corpus of
knowledge and traditions. Even if the author has something new or apparently out of the box idea /
hypothesis, it should be presented logically from existing first principles.
The Correspondence principle postulated by Niels Bohr in Quantum Mechanics is similar to this
idea.
5.9 viḻumiyatu payattal:
This is in contrast with ‘niṉṟu payaṉiṉmai’ – the work should be of use and value in a given field.
Again, the author should at least justify himself / herself in writing that work that it will add to some
unique utility!
5.10 viḷaṅku utāraṇattatu ākutal:
This particular aspect is expressed as a iraṭṭuṟa moḻital (interpretable in two or many ways): a) The
text should contain adequate examples and b) The text itself should be a good example of its kind.
As noted earlier, the book Naṉṉūl itself is a good example of all these aspects and techniques
enumerated by it!
6. Some Illustrations
Let me illustrate some of the above aspects as seen in a couple of ancient Tamiḻ texts.
My first and favourite example is from the oldest extant Tamiḻ book – the Tolkāppiyam.
In this two thousand five hundred year old grammar, the author (Tolkāppiyar) sanctions the use of
Sanskrit (and other languages, such as Prakrit, Pali, etc) words in Tamiḻ and the process requires
substituting all letters that are not available in Tamiḻ, with corresponding Tamiḻ letters.
That is, the word ‘sarasvati’, for example, should be written in Tamiḻ as ‘caracuvati’, since Tamiḻ
lacks the ‘s’ sound. (Such modified words used in Tamiḻ are called as ‘tatcamam’, whereas words
made entirely of letters available in Tamiḻ itself are called as ‘tatpavam’ (lit. as it is)).
Thus Tolkāppiyar states:
Transliteration:
வடெசா கிளவ$ வட எ9 ஒ=இ vaṭacol kiḷavi vaṭa eḻuttu orīi
எ9 ெதா# ண (த ெசா ஆ .ேம. eḻuttoṭu puṇarnta col ākummē.
Translation:
A northern language word, after leaving the north letters,
Should be added with the (corresponding) letters to become a word.
(My translation is not exact, since I aimed to preserve the word pattern and words themselves rather
than the meaning!)
The point to be noted here is that Tolkāppiyar refers to Sanskrit words and letters with the prefix
‘vata’ (north) while not giving any prefix to refer to Tamiḻ words and letters.
The book is a grammar for Tamiḻ, it deals with the aspects of the Tamiḻ language out and out, and the
author had already defined the letters of Tamiḻ. In fact, he had defined the terms ‘eḻuttu’ and ‘col’ as
technical terms referring to Tamiḻ letters and Tamiḻ words.
Thus he has avoided the superfluous and redundant prefixes such as ‘Tamiḻ’ or ‘teṉ’ (south) before
letter and word while referring to Tamiḻ letters and words!
11
The amount of precision and brevity that is incorporated in to this one book, the way the author
develops a meta-language out of the very language he is trying to define and deal with, without
sacrificing clarity or giving space for ambiguity, always blows my mind!
Another profound example is found in Tirukkuṟaḷ. Though the entire work or any random couplet
from it can be quoted, I would like to once again take a personal favourite of mine.
When discussing the duties of a person, who runs a family – an ‘il-vāḻvāṉ’ (grahastan) –
Tiruvalluvar prescribes that one’s income should be divided in such a way to accommodate five
groups: Ancestors, God, Guests, Relatives, and Self (including his own immediate family).
Transliteration:
ெத ல தா ெத'வ. வ$3(ெதா க teṉpulattār teyvam viruntu okkal tāṉ eṉṟāṅku
தாென றா! aimpulattāṟu ōmpal talai (kuraḷ 43)
ஐ. ல தா ஓ.ப தைல. ( ற? 43)
According to Arta-shāstrā (and other such economic or moral treaties) one’s income should be
divided in to six equal parts, to be spent, for ancestors, god, guests, relatives, self, and tax (for the
king).
This obviously is in accordance with what Tiruvalluvar prescribes, except for the fact that
Tiruvalluvar seemed to have missed King’s Tax.
One of the ten famous commentators of the book, Parimēlaḻakar, points this out and explains that it
is the duty of the king to ensure the proper collection of tax and not the duty of the householder
himself – hence Tiruvalluvar did not mentions it here, where he is prescribing the duties of the
householder only! (Duties of a king are discussed elaborately in the second section of the book –
Porutpāl).
7. Conclusion
When we write fiction, we write to express ourselves. However, when we write non-fiction, we do so
in order to educate others – to teach others what we have learned. Hence it becomes very important
to understand the aspects of good technical writing in order to write and communicate effectively –
learning to do so through our ancient texts and traditions will have the value and advantage of being
indigenous and thus boosts our confidence while swelling our chest with pride. To learn that our
ancestors have composed some of the best texts in the world is always a good motivator; it drives us
to surpass them in quality as well as quantity. I sincerely hope that I have given you an inspiring
glimpse in the scientific temper and rigour of our ancestors and have motivated to pursue it.

THE ART OF HUMAN CONNECTHE ART OF HUMAN CONNECT
THE ART OF HUMAN CONNECTTHE ART OF HUMAN CONNECT
Society is irreplaceable for man. It is indispensable as matter of nature, necessary for the wellbeing of
individuals. A man like “Robinson Crusoe,” who is left in isolation scarcely develops his personality. In
the novel ‘Robinson Crusoe’ by Daniel Defoe (1719), the protagonist sets out for a voyage and ends up
with a tumultuous ship-wreck in a storm. On his arrival to an unknown island, he overcomes his
desolation by devising his amenities and survives in the un-inhabited island for years. He is completely
devoid of human connection, and finally manages his return by a passer-by vessel to his homeland.
Defoe while exhibiting the individual’s capacity for survival picturesquely indicates the necessity of
12
connecting to people. Often times we reflect on the real meaning of “connecting to people.”Is that of
vital importance in a human life? How can one tell if someone is actually connecting to others? and
what if one wishes to be connected with others?
Connecting increases one’s influence in every situation. The principal criteria for advancement and
recognition, as professionals, we need the ability of effective communication. It plays a vital role in
achieving success in all our association with family, friends, workplace, and in community. If we are
able to communicate; not just to communicate, but to ably connect with people, it literally gives a
decided edge over others in the advancement of what we are trying to accomplish. There are four
essential qualities that can be considered to stay well connected with people around us.
Real connection is more than just a talk or sharing of our interests. After all, we can talk to someone
for hours but that doesn’t stand as long as our communication is not really honest. The honesty in
speech comes from the depth of heart, as the heart knows things better that the mind cannot explain.
It doesn’t matter to whom we are talking to, but honesty pays its dividend in terms of respect.
R.W.Emerson observed, “To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your
private heart is true for all men – that is genius” For this reason, being sincere to our words brings
people closer to our inner circle.
The next critical aspect of our communication is genuineness. Charles Eisenstein once said, “We have
bigger houses but smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less
sense; we have built more computers, but have less communications.”In the world of networks,
connecting to people with the sense of open mindedness makes us trustworthy and reliable. Being
genuine to conversations not only relies on speaking the heart-content, but also the actions
thereupon. It is the synchronization of words and deeds, and the harmony of heart and brain. That is
why many times the Americans hardly make out our interchangeable usage of “Okay” and “Yes” from
our conversations. We think that these words are synonymous, but one must understand the
difference between agreeing to a point and to committing to something.
Next comes the integrity of communication with individuals and groups. Swami Vivekananda, after his
visit to the West, once remarked that the Indians are great – as individuals, but as an organization they
are miserably underperformers. Our ambition has made us cynical and our cleverness has made us
crooked. Expanding our space enhances our real connection invariably among individuals and groups.
Integrity is something which is unbiased to exhibit our fairness of mind before and behind people. The
unaltered attitude builds up the greatest trust on one’s connection with others.
The final ingredient of healthy human connection is empathy. It is the goodwill that creates the magic
aura around us while connecting to others. In the world of technology, we need humanity more than
machines; we need kindness and gentleness more than our cleverness. Otherwise, the life will be lost
in the deluge of material augmentation. There is already a peevish call by an anonymous writer, “Your
cell phone has by now replaced your watch, camera, and calendar, don’t let it replace your family and
friends.”Hence emotional connection is also more sought after in good communication. If we really
wish someone well with our genuine concern, we give them the slim chance to judge us; thereby
become free from opinions.
A true communicator understands his/her fellow-beings better and well connects to the world by the
clear disposition of words, deeds, integrity, and love. Here comes the clear mark of distinction that
“communication is an art of connecting to people” rather than acquisition of “proficiency in
language.” In the world of differences, we are equals; and in the world of cultural and economical
distinctions, we are complementing one another; thanks to the pull of gravity that holds everyone
equally onto the bosom of mother earth. Now it’s time for us to rethink, whether to merely
communicate or get connected.

(REDEFINING THE SI UNIT OF MASS)REDEFINING THE SI UNIT OF MASS)
( (REDEFINING THE SI UNIT OF MASS)(REDEFINING THE SI UNIT OF MASS)
What are SI Units? It is the modern metric units which are widely used for Measurement. Almost
everyone around the world, from a Great Scientist to a Primary School kid uses these Units every day.
In November 2018, many people were baffled & scared when they heard the words, “Redefinition of
Mass’ SI Unit Kilogram” as all the works & activities which relied on this unit (Kilogram) went in vain.
But no need to worry, because only its definition is going to be changed and not every conversions or
the way in which we used to apply it every day.
It is very important for everyone to be updated with Science as the discoveries are likely to increase
exponentially in the coming years. The Chief body behind this work is the General Conference of
Weight & Measures.
Brevity in explanation is a forte to be adapted to make this clear for everyone. Here are the key
takeaways from this updating.
Since 1799, SI Unit of Mass ‘Kilogram’ is defined as the Mass of a cylinder made with Platinum-Iridium
Alloy in vacuum condition. It is called as “LE GRAND K”.
It is kept in a vacuum vault in an observatory in Paris, France. Many replicas of it are kept in many
other places.
The mass of this cylinder and its National Standards was found to be diverging over the years.
Having a definition for an SI unit which is not constant is unacceptable& Kilogram is the last of 7 base
SI units to still be defined by a Physical object & not a Universal constant.
For example, SI unit of Length (meter) is defined as ‘1 meter is equal to the distance traveled by light
in 1/299,792,458 second in vacuum’. Here, the distance traveled by light in vacuum is a constant.
Therefore a quest for defining ‘Kilogram’ with a Universal constant arose.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology with the guidance of General Conference of
Weights and Measures decided to define the ‘Kilogram’ based on the Planck’s constant (h).
An Absolute value for the Planck’s constant is obtained from the Kibble Balance experiment
conducted in two modes, the Weight mode and the Velocity mode.
From this experiment, the Planck’s constant was found to be h= 6.62607015 x 10 -34 Js
But Kilogram cannot be redefined in isolation because other SI Units depend on it.
For example, MOLE is defined as the amount of substance that contains the same number of particles
as there are atoms in 12 grams of Carbon-12. This is called as the Avogadro’s constant N A=
23
-1
6.022140857 x 10 mol
Avogadro’s constant also depends on the old ‘Kilogram’ whose prototype’s characteristic was found to
be varying. Hence, the Avogadro’s constant is also set to be redefined using the newly found Planck’s
constant as obtained from the Kibble Balance experiment.
-19
Likewise, Ampere will be redefined based on the charge of an electron (e=1.602176634x10 C )&
-23
Kelvin is redefined based on the Boltzmann Constant (k= 1.380649x10 J/K).

NECESSITY FOR NECESSITY FOR REDEFINING THE KILOGRAM:REDEFINING THE KILOGRAM:
With the prototype of Kilogram showing variation in its mass, it becomes difficult to measure the
masses of tiny particles in many applications like the mass of fuel injected in an IC Engine per stroke,
chemical industries etc.
A Kibble (or watt) balance is an electromechanical measuring tool that measures the weight of an item
by the power of the electric current and voltage necessary to make a compensating force.
Defining fundamental units based on universal constants has a lot of advantages with regards to
scientific and industrial usage.

MIT engineers have come up with a non-invasive method to gauge a cell’s stiffness by simply
observing the motion of its particles. Researchers have devised a way to assess a cell’s mechanical
properties simply by observation. MIT engineers, armed with an old Albert Einstein equation, have
come up with a non-invasive method to gauge a cell’s stiffness by using standard confocal microscopy
and film to observe the motion of its particles. Measuring a cell’s stiffness this way could be a key to
not just finding cancer but monitoring its progress throughout treatment.
Ming Guo, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, and his team faced the challenge
partly by using the strokes-Einstein equation, created by Albert Einstein. Long-term research followed,
which led to tweaking the equation to measure movement caused by physical force, not temperature.
Guo’s lab had been mainly doing experiments using optical tweezers that force, however, can damage
cells. “so we develop in the lab direct imaging to look at the movements of particles,” he says. “This
helps with the understanding of the non-equilibrium nature, and we can translate this movement.”
Guo likens this to the final touches on your morning coffee. This stirring of the spoon for the sugar in
causing movement but so is the temperature. In this case, the researchers want to figure out the
equivalent of the spoon’s role in the movement. Guo likens this to the final touches on your morning
coffee. This stirring of the spoon for the sugar in causing movement but so is the temperature. In this
case, the researchers want to figure out the equivalent of the spoon’s role in the movement. To do so,
the researchers used a modified version of Stokes_Einstein to find the cell’s stiffness and by filming the
cell and watching each frame; they could separate the influence of temperature on the movement and
focus on the physical forces. That eliminates the need to use optical tweezers and prevents the cells
from being harmed. The method needs further testing before it’s introduced to real-life medical
scenarios, but Gun is optimistic.

HUMANHUMAN--COMPUTER INTERACTIONCOMPUTER INTERACTION
HUMANUMAN--COMPUTER INTERACTIONCOMPUTER INTERACTION
H
As Leo Cherne said “The computer is incrediblyfast, accurate, andstupid. Man isincredibly slow,
inaccurate, and brilliant. The marriage of the two is a force beyond calculation”. Computers are known
for their speed, accuracy and Computational power but are so stupid that they do not have own brain
to do something without the instructions given by us. Now a days computers have become an integral
part of our lives. There are a plethora of reasons as to why computers are inevitable in our lives.
Everything is becoming online and digital! E-commerce sites and social media have taken the world to
the next level!The computer as we know it today had its beginning with a 19th century English
mathematics professor named Charles Babbage. He designed the Analytical Engine and it was this
design that the basic framework of thecomputers of today are based on.
Computers were designed originally for computational purposes and then through the years have
evolved so much and is used for multiple purposes. Earlier, there were Analog computers which used a
direct mechanical or electrical model of the problem as a basis for computation. It was only after
Digital computers were designed that new evolutionary models were proposed for making the
computer turn as a multi-purpose one! And then the stored program concept was introduced. A
Digital computer could understand only binary language. The movement of data within the computer
takes place through digital signals and digital data formats.
Users could not directly interact with computer hardware. So, a necessity was felt to bring in
something that acts as an interface between the user and the computer hardware. Hence system
software called operating systems were created. An operatingsystem (OS) handles your
computerneeds by finding resources, applying hardware management and providing necessary
services.
Earlier, programmers used to interact with the computer using the binary language but, it was tedious.
So they ended up inventing a language that humans can use to communicate called the Assembly
Level Language (ALL). A special software called assembler converts the program written in the
assembly language into machine level language or low level language. To make the language format
like English, invention of High Level Languages were made. In order to convert the HLL into MLL,
software called compilers were created.
Technology is advancing day by day in every field of computer science. The latest technologies that
have been turned into buzzwords of the recent time are Artificial Intelligence (AI), BlockChain,
Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, Internet of Things (IOT) and etcetera. Also,Machinelearning is an
application of artificialintelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and
improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. These are changing the ways Humans
interact with computers.Humans interact with computers in many ways; the interface between
humans and computers is crucial to facilitating this interaction.
Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality and Quantum computing will definitely revolutionize the Human
Computer Interaction. Robotics too plays a major role in this direction. The people who interact with
Robots may have little or no training in robotics, and so any interface will need to be extremely
intuitive. Science fiction authors also typically assume that robots will eventually be capable of
communicating with humans through speech, gesturesand facial expressions, rather than a command-
line interface which is slowly being made possible and will definitely advance even more in the future.
As Edward Teller said “The science of today is the technology of tomorrow” so, let us hope for a safe,
advanced, reliable Human Computer Interaction in the future!

In this modern world, information plays a major role among peoples. Information is a powerful
weapon to knock a person. In this article I am going to tell how to protect privacy yourself against
hackers.
People mostly leak their privacy through mobile phones. So first you must defend your mobile phones
against unwanted peoples.

“The most valuable commodity I know of is information” “The most valuable commodity I know of is information” --Gordon GekkoGordon Gekko
ANDROID SECURITY TIPS
First of you must not install any apps from third party websites.(eg: pirates bay).because they can bind
malwares into an app. This malwares can leak your privacy without your permission.
You must not install app that contains lower size especially app name called “main activity”. This app
contains malwares to leak your privacy. This app may be created by beginner hackers.
Many top levels hackers can bind malware app into normal app. That may so complicated to identify
it. Even one can identify by scanning through antivirus to avoid such nonsense.
If your mobile is automatically heating try to reset your mobile.This heating happens due to unwanted
apps that may running on background.
Never show or tell your public IP to anyone because hackers can do penetration testing to find
vulnerable to access a connection to your mobile.

Mostly hackers try to steal your username and passwords without your knowledge by using fake login
page. Phishing page project like real original login page. The only difference between original and
phishing page are website URL.
For example: if phishing page ask you to login your instagram id. If you have entered your username
and password in fake login page means Your username and password would be shown to hackers.

Most of people lost their privacy due to passwords. Hackers try to steal passwords through two
methods either by phishing method or bruteforce attack. Bruteforce attack will to try to find password
based upon a wordlist.
Hackers mainly stealing passwords through “keystrokes” by sending malwares to you mobile phones.
This malwares automatically sends every keystroke done by victim to hackers mail. In order to protect
your password from bruteforce attack follows
Prevention:revention:
P
Prevention:Prevention:
Don’t use username as our password.
Don’t use password as your name.
Don’t use password as your mobile number.
Always password must contain alphabets, numbers, and characters. This combination of passwords is
so difficult to crack passwords in brute force attack.
Never share your OTP to anyone or never share your password reset link to anyone.

Wifi also cause a data leakage from you. If you are use public wifi means hackers try to steal your
information like passwords, bank transactions etc through “Man in Middle Attack”.If you are providing
hotspot means encrypt your hotspot connection.
In another way hackers try to steal your information by using “Handshake” method by creating fake
Acces point. For example, you are browsing to internet, suddenly your wifi gets disconnected. If you
try to reconnect means you will not be able to connect it.its time to trick by creating fake Acces points.
Now if you connect through fake acces points means it will ask password to connect. Now in this case
you must enter your password to connect. As soon as you entered a password. Hacker can get that
password with in a second.

Prevention of wifi:Prevention of wifi:
Use strong passwords for your wifi hotspot.
If you are using router means, default password is “admin”. One must change this password in admin
panel.
Don’t use sensitive or personal information in public wifi.
Incase if your are using public wifi means try to use proxychains (eg: VPN).

Present scenarioPresent scenario
P
The people of our Country are more concerned about the reliability and the practicality offered by any
sort of vehicle.They also wanted a decent fuel efficiency and the comfort,while traveling from point A
to point B.But the future requirements would be much different.The young generation wanted their
vehicles to do much more than expected.They want to do distance touring with their bikes and
everyday commuting to their work places.The expectations are drastically increasing and cars and
bikes are getting improved to cater the requirements of the buyers.
The biggest change in the present automotive industry is the implementation of the stringent safety
norms in the automobiles.Owing to the increase in number of accidents and deaths of the riders and
co- passengers, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) has been implemented in almost all categories of
automobiles to ensure safety for the riders and the passengers.The Emission norms are also getting
updated, based on the amount of exhaust gases like Carbon monoxide, Nitrogen oxides etc.
The future world of commuting would be much different from the present.

My ObservationsMy Observations
Now let us all visit to the future and take a look at the automobiles.The observations we find are as
follows:-
1. Almost every vehicle has LED lighting, which has replaced the conventional halogen lamps of
the present.
2. There are strict emission norms in order to prevent the air pollutants and pollution.
3. The future age is the ‘Electric’ age and almost every vehicle is an EV for smooth and hassle free
commuting for a clean and green environment.
4. Drones play a major role in transportation, surveillance and in medical sectors as the traffic
congestion in the roads is avoided.
5. Intelligent sensors and automation plays a major role in the traffic control and safety.
Hence, these are my five observations which I had inferred through this analysis which I would like to
share through this article. Thank you Readers

Dear brothers and sisters; Hidden in you are great powers;
Rise, work and let them shine; Your labour won’t be in vain.
Let books be your great universe; And success will script new verse;
Take every step of yours carefully; Failures to dismiss as very silly.
Life waits to greet you with smile; Victory to hug you at every mile;
Let each hour be treasure house; Sleeping sun you come and rouse.
Let futile failures not haunt you; Humiliations you try not to rue;
Eyes are tiny palaces of dreams; Hopes flow in heart like streams.
Write your destiny with strong will; Victory will speak in voices shrill;
Blocking stones are stepping stones; Lo! Yonder listen, success drones.
