Said to be the oldest city of India, Varanasi is a place that gets its name from meeting of two rivers - Varuna and Ashi, and is about 800km away from the capital Delhi. The place ranks high in Hindu mythology and is famous for temples; some of which are believed to make your wishes come true. But, even if you are not a hindu or not religious, the place is wonderful backdrop for photography.  And

At present, almost everyone who owns a camera thinks they are great photographers. Their exposure is limited to facebook, twitter and orkut. But the fact is their work is far from being a work of ART - which a photograph really is! The thing takes a toll on my nerves when friends take random photographs and expect 'likes' and positive comments for their weird photographs. A bird's eye view of

With a sample that had only nematic phase optical studies were carried out. The organic sample contained a CN group. Birefringence was studied by Chatelain Wedge principle to get a graph of different refractive indices with temperature. Then from density measurements at different temperatures, polarisabilities were found out. The refractive indices and polarisabilities were for- ordinary rays,

The three common states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. The molecules in solid phase exhibit positional and orientational order, whereas they are completely lost in the liquid phase. Liquid crystals have the properties intermediate between the solid and the liquid states. Normally, when a crystalline solid is heated it transforms into a liquid, but liquid crystals exhibit a number of
