What would you do if your dream seemed out of reach, your chances slim, and the odds stacked against you? My journey to IIMC Dhenkanal wasn’t just about overcoming challenges; it was a rollercoaster ride of missteps, last-minute decisions, and a trip that almost cost me my seat. In 2023, I had filled out the CUET form with the intent of pursuing a master’s degree. But on the day of the exam, I found myself at my graduation college dealing with document work. My HOD, Dr. Prerna Tripathi, was furious. “Why didn’t you appear for the exam?” she demanded. Her disappointment followed me throughout the year, and every time I saw her, she reminded me of the opportunity I had missed. Fast forward to 2024, I decided to try again, but my initial plans didn’t include IIMC. After consulting friends, I applied for CUET alongside applications to Makhanlal Chaturvedi University (MCU) for MBA and a Master’s in Digital Media. Since there isn’t a master’s course in photojournalism in India—my...

Definition: What Is Web 3.0? Web 3.0 is the upcoming third generation of the internet where websites and apps will be able to process information in a smart human-like way through technologies like machine learning (ML), Big Data, decentralized ledger technology (DLT), etc. Web 3.0 was originally called the Semantic Web by World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, and was aimed at being a more autonomous, intelligent, and open internet. The Web 3.0 definition can be expanded as follows: data will be interconnected in a decentralized way, which would be a huge leap forward to our current generation of the internet (Web 2.0), where data is mostly stored in centralized repositories. Furthermore, users and machines will be able to interact with data. But for this to happen, programs need to understand information both conceptually and contextually. With this in mind, the two cornerstones of Web 3.0 are semantic web and artificial intelligence (AI).

On Easter , Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ . Jesus of Nazareth was a carpenter who became an itinerant preacher at the age of 30. For the next three years, he drew thousands of followers in the relatively small area where he preached.

Where in the Bible is the story of Jesus’ execution? The story of Jesus’ death appears in all four of the Gospels of the New Testament. You’ll find them in Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24 and John 18. When is Easter this year? Easter is on April 4 in 2021. Why is it on different dates every year? The answer is not a simple one. In 325 CE, the Council of Nicaea, a gathering of Christian bishops, decided that there should be a m...
