Both Vishal sir and I will personally check all the copies. We will provide detailed discussion as well as model answers.

The faculties will be available everyday on call or personal discussion. Resolving the queries and doubts of the Mains appearing students is the highest priority because all we have is 100 days.

Very happy to share this video. Students who were with us for those 60-70 hours, their efforts are bore happy fruits. Almost 90% questions were directly answerable from the classroom teaching. Here are the snippets in just over two minutes. This is a trailer. A longer complete video will be made public soon.
A new DAMP program will be launched after Main examination. The previous one is over now.

We are right now focussing on the Test Series. It will start from 11th June. This test series will go on till Mains. In the test series we cover around 250 questions with detailed discussion as well as model answers.

Both programs provide ample writing practice.

Just watched the movie.

The tension of the world war, and the tension between global scientific community on one hand and nation-state on the other: both are shown very effectively. We don't bother much about history of science in India. We should take it more seriously than we do now.

However, this movie is less about the atom bomb and more about the ethics of deadly technology that the scientists deal with... it is also about emotional coping of a sensitive person who created a monster due to situational needs... moreover, it is also about ugly politics of extreme nationalism, which devours its own heroes.

These three things form a the major themes while atom bomb recedes into a backdrop.

IMAX camera is used not only to deliver the fantastic rendition of Trinity test which shows the inside of the explosion, but also to give close-ups of Oppenheimer's face, which shows us inside of his mind. It is a must watch.

Here you go, to cite the original source of the quote.

This is John Clark Marshman, who gave the comment in 1870s.
It was about 15 years ago when I met Lakshmi Swaminathan/Sahgal. We had gone to Kanpur to interview her, in 2008.

She spoke of memories of serving in Indian National Army as the head of Rani Jhansi Regiment and minister of women's affairs. Her descriptions of experiences on 'maidan-e-jung' were very vivid.

She also wrote a letter to us and signed it with her name and rank in INA. Still goosebumps.
