We often hear ourselves saying that robots are devoid of feelings and incapable of experiencing emotions.
But with the passage of time and progress in society, haven’t things changed and improved? Innovations have changed the society. Technology has improved SO much and made lives infinitely better.
Isn’t it often said that the early human which existed about two million years ago didn’t have feelings and as the time passed by they were exposed to different situations and in trying to adapt to them they developed the feelings like hunger, pain, fear, love and so on ?
So eventually shouldn’t that happen with robots too ? Maybe if 100 years from now, robots would have feelings and emotions like us?
Today, Robotics is a budding field.
People are making different robots for different tasks and needs.
Modern scientists are trying to bond human DNA to the coding in its central operating device which is said to be,”The brain of the robot”, but many vital information is yet to be gathered, conclusions are yet to be made. Many other biological process can be followed up in robots but someday in the future wouldn’t it be possible ?
The creators are trying their level best to make robot’s sensors and actuators as precise as the neuron in human body.
We can see Andro-humanoid like Sophia is a major success in this trails and modern science is at its peak. Cutting edge technology is changing the world.
In the future, Epidemic and Pandemic situations could be handled in much appropriate and easy way with the help of robots. But we need to be careful too. To not overuse and misuse technology.
Aritificial Intelligence, and research in fields like Machine learning, and neutral networks is helping scientists discover new things .
Through techniques like machine learning and neural networks, firms across the globe are investing in teaching machines to ‘think’ more like humans.

Up to the Heaven.
By Anamika Dev
We live in a world where literally everyone is so selfish and hideous. When we open up and try to help each other, together we could make it a heaven. Life is too short, make it worthy.
I took this pic from inside a cable car in a Jadayu Para. That was my first visit, and was a wonderful experience. Our journey was just after a long shower and we were not sure whether we could enjoy the beautiful rope way which the place is famous for. But fortunately we got the chance to reach the destination in a rope car. The most beautiful scenery was actually from the top. The mist of clouds and the peace there made it looks like a heaven.

Technology vs Human Brain
By Devi Krishna S

Machines are more like humans. In the 21st century, humans rely
on gadgets to store information that is vital. Data and other documents
are stored in those gadgets and people believe that its safer because earlier
the documents were manually recorded and most of them are not existing now. It
is quite evident that humans relay on machines. Machines have vital role in
industrial development. Digital technologies support companies to accelerate
according to the trends. Both internet and computers together to connect with
our lives seamlessly which make sense of the world.
Technology makes life more easy and informative. Information is available in
a way that was unimaginable just a few decades ago. Technology lies behind
global development and it provides information on health care, business and
technology. Technology has transformed our lives.
People rely on machine’s opinion even for the most important and
vulnerable situations and its quite clear that machines are playing a vital
role in the world.
Human brain and machines combine to have a great impact to world’s
development. Earlier we had a misconception that we all individuals, companies
and countries have no facility to foresee anything but technology has changed
the way we look at world. Artificial Intelligence has helped us make massive
changes in research and development. We can in fact make great changes to the
world if we combine both human brain and technology.

Our Trip to Wayanad
By Balagopan and Adithya.M
Wayanad is a hill station in Kerala, which attracts a large number of local as well as foreign tourists. The chilling climate in Wayanad with its marvellous natural beauty makes it one of the best tourist attractions in God’s own Country and called as the green paradise of Kerala. Some of the major tourist attractions in Wayanad are Edakkal Caves, Chembra Peak, Lakkidi View Point, Kuruvadweep and Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary. We were on a budget trip and also wasn’t in a hurry to visit all the locations.
Our Trip to Wayanad
We reached Wayanad in the evening. It was already getting dark, much sooner than other parts of Kerala. We stopped at Lakkidi Viewpoint, which is the gateway of Wayanad. Nearly 300 people were relaxing and enjoying the beauty of nature. We parked our bike on the side of the road where several other cars and bikes were parked. There was no proper parking area, so it was a bit dangerous to park the bike on the side of the road without much lighting. So we parked our bikes with putting on the parking lights so that the vehicles approaching can identify our bikes and thus make it safe We were amazed to see the scenery from there. It was pretty dark and the view of fog rising from the valleys to the top of the hills was an experience to remember forever. Everyone was busy clicking photos of the raising fog but I saw most people were complaining they couldn’t catch any proper pictures in the camera since the fog was covering all the views in the already dark valleys.
My friend didn’t want to leave the viewpoint but we had to move on. We didn’t have any reservation for the hotel, so we had to drive around and find a place to stay. The first hotel we noticed was Hotel Pepper Wayanad Gate, which is along the highway itself just 2 kilometres from the viewpoint. Even though we had seen good reviews of Pepper Wayanad Gate, we decided to skip it since it was beyond our budget. We reached Kalpetta, which is a small town but still active in the night. There were many hotels and we found one small hotel, which is close to the main junction and looked matching our budget. We walked into the reception and asked for a room. The guy in the reception stared at me as if I have come asking for a free room but showed me a few options. We took a double bed non-A/c room on the third floor. I was wondering who would need an A/c room in the chilling weather there. One good thing about such budget hotels is, they don’t charge anything extra for the rooms with good views. After all, most people coming into such hotels just need room to sleep at the best price and they don’t care for the views from the room. But we were lucky to get a room overlooking the hills. We opened the window and the view of mountains and valleys at far was really amazing.
We planned a trip of three days but later extended for one more day as we couldn’t cover all the places It was a fabulous trip and we enjoyed a lot. After several hours of driving, we both were tired and decided to sleep early after a quick dinner in the “thattukada” (country style restaurant) next to the hotel. Maybe because we were too hungry, the dosa and chutney tasted like the best food I have ever eaten! We had a chat with the hotel guy about the places to visit in Wayanad, other than the places we had already visited. He told about a list of activities to do in Wayanad including trekking, hiking, off road riding, camping and rafting. Also, gave the contact number of a company who arranges such activities for the tourists. We promised to come back to do all activities we missed doing this time and decided to try the bamboo rafting the next time which is a great experience as many told us about their rafting experience. We would definitely try rafting next time.
EDAKKAL CAVES
By Akshara and Sree Lekshmi J
Places have always fascinated mankind. Travelling and exploring new realms of freedom has added beauty and tranquility to human experiences. From the time of antiquity men loved jaunts and it was more-often a time for them to be free from their busy schedules of life. Different places have different stories to tell .The vibe and ambience provided by places vary from one to another .Travelling actually matures a man it is always exciting and fascinating to be around new set of completely different people ,custom and culture.
It was a very pleasant experience to be at the two Natural caves of Wayanad district-Edakkal Caves. The caves are situated 1200m above sea level on Ambukuttu Mala in the Western Ghats. The name ‘Edakkal’ literally means ‘a stone in between .Here one can actually witness a cave formed by a heavy boulder straddling a fissure in a rock. This cave is famous for its pictorial cave paintings. The guide told us that this place is believed to be the habitat of Neolithic men.
The very site of the place astonished me. These caves show us the nature’s skill in architecture. The place offers a combination of beauty, adventure and trecking. Edakkal caves is the only place in India with cravings dated back to stone age. There is a long way to walk to the cave from the parking area. We had to climb enormous no of steps to reach the top. First it seemed a bit challenging. The view from the top was worth enough for a life time joy. It was a stepping in to the bygone era. The monkeys at the hills were busy enjoying and posing at the tourists camera. On the way there were several bamboo benches to relax. The stairs were also carved out of stones. The cold wind blew away all the tiredness of the journey. There are many stories existing behind the formation of the caves. This place has drawn great attention for the tourists, archaeologists and historians. The inscriptions and drawings on the rock show cased the talents of the ancient people. It is a best place to get in touch with nature. There was an iron railing to protect the stone cravings. Even photography was prohibited due to some reason. The trip was both thrilling and informative. In a trip to wayanad edakkal caves is a place worth visiting.
A Starry Night

A thousands winked.
Following the stars,
You were right there,
Hanging between the land
And the twinkles.
A wreath crowned my heart
A deep cold breath left me
A moment of bliss
Encircled my eyes
Wonderment of nature.
One day I would recite this,
Under the same stars,
With your breath sharing mine.
IMPACT OF HUMAN POPULATION ON NATURE
By Harsha N and Harsha Hari Kumar

Our growing population : Ever since the creation of the world nature had a great impact on human beings . Man always tried to control forces of nature .As a result man has to face many problems .
The rapid increase of the population and the rapid decrease of natural resources have made great changes in nature .
Scientists are of the opinion that the nature has certain limit in carrying the capacity of humans .
Population bomb is one of the greatest crisis the world is facing now .We have consumed more resources in the last fifty years than the whole of humanity before us .The twenty th century saw the biggest increase in the world’s population of human history .Thus the mother earth is facing a serious ecological crisis .
We human beings are remarkable creatures from our humble beginnings in small pockets of Africa ,we have revolved over millennia to colonize almost every corner of our planet .We are clever at exploiting our nature .
In 2015 the world population was more than 7.3 billion people .In fact it is beyond the level of carrying the level of earth carrying these people .Reckless consumes of natural resources has made life intolerable .
The United Nations estimates that the world population will reach 9.2 billion by 2050 .
Science has revolutionized all the aspects of human life .Another reason is the increasing rate of birth and the decreasing rate of death .The impacts of many humans on the environment takes two major forms.
The first is that the consumption of resources such as land, food, water, fossil fuel and minerals and the other one is waste products such as water pollutants , toxic materials and green house gases.
If man goes like this our Earth will turn into a desert .We have to take a pledge that we should preserve and protect our nature.
What makes people create litter?

Litter is any kind of rubbish terrified in minor amounts, uniquely in seats anywhere it doesn’t belong. With time, it masses up. The ritual is illegal for the reason that it expenses municipalities millions of dollars annually in attack costs. It portrays a boisterous photograph of a spot faith glass, cooking scraps or acerbic wastes. The accomplished reach to communal struggling tools use on family member of steadily fare packaging, cigarette butts, ultimate pick-me-up bottles, chewing gum wrappers, cracked down electrical tools parts, toys, without optimism glass, cooking scraps or acid wastes.
Litter originates from seven chief sources.
Four are stationary sources – household gibberish LP areas, subject sabotage photograph album areas, matter and built-up loading docks and construction and knocking down sites.
Three are heartbreaking sources – discovered trucks, motorists and pedestrians.
Animals may take for the substance of litter floating in the dampen as fare and may possibly fill up on them or they may progress entwined in it. They discover their rations amongst the ruin and tin make a choice up the microbes and develop into carriers for diseases that may assemble frequent sick. Litter is bad for the environment. It wastes our raw resources. Hazardous chemicals can leach out of the litter and pollute the soil and water bodies located nearby. These toxins then enter the human body via the food chain. The contaminants also stunt plant growth and cause health issues in animals living in that area.
The main reason for people makes more litter is of their laziness to dispose off waste properly and the fact that no strict actions is taken against such offenders. People are too lazy to find a dustbin or a garbage disposal area and instead litter where they are. They believe they can get away with it and not have to deal with the consequences. Moreover, people are about their personal enclosure and living space only and want to keep only that clean. They do not care about public places because apparently it is not their place. In extra to intentional littering, more or less partially of litter on U.S. roadways is at the moment unintended or inadvertent litter, regularly fragments that cascade off unacceptably protected trash, recycling compilation vehicles and come and get somebody trucks. Population levels, interchange density and proximity to remaining disposal sites are factors recognized to correlate with elevated litter rates.
Indifferent or lenient directive enforcement contributes to littering behavior. Other causes are inconvenience, power and monetary conditions. Illegally dumped harmful misuse may be a effect of the outlay of sinking resources at designated sites: certain of these price a fee for depositing dangerous material. Lack of approach to close conveniences that agree to risky unwanted may deter use. Additionally, ignorance of the laws that make conform the decorous disposal of risky devastate may instigate shady disposal. Population may criticize a need of well-placed bins for their littering. Risky resources may regularly be incorrectly disposed of in the bins and they tin encourage dumpster diving.
Approachable containers such as thesis cups, cardboard provisions packets, false hot drink bottles and aluminum drinks cans search out packed up with rainwater, as long as breeding locations for mosquitoes. In addition, a initiate or a lightning speed know how to edge a enliven if it strikes litter such as a manuscript bag or cardboard box. Litter know how to be harmful to health. waste declining from vehicles is an escalating origin of automobile accidents. Discarded dangerous goods, chemicals,tires, sharps waste and pathogens resulting from litter canister make happen inadvertent destruction to humans.
Increasingly, in attendance comprise been hard work to consumption technology to screen areas level to dumping. In Japan, a learning used Geographic in order Systems (GIS) to chart areas of dumping based on locate characteristics. Another cram second-hand satellite imagery to expose potential illegitimate dumping sites. Litter traps be able to be old to capture litter as it exits storm water drains into waterways. However, litter traps are no more than actual for considerable or balanced bits and pieces of litter and be required to be maintained. A topical dividing line litter assess showed a dissimilarity in the organization of lane litter and storm water litter. Litter ruins people’s enjoyment of the countryside and makes open spaces feel like waste grounds

The sun instructs us to sparkle and offer light to the world; the waterways show us the message of strongly proceeding onward, beating all deterrents; and finding a temporary re-route round stone ridden course. A man should likewise move towards his objective like a stream or a creek on the off chance that he is to accomplish his objectives. His way might be brimming with obstructions, however he should continue moving like a waterway. As the stream begins its excursion from high mountains, on its way to the ocean it streams down numerous valleys, slopes; slips between numerous edges, streams by numerous towns, towns and urban communities, going under numerous extensions, at last it joins the sea. So also, man must pass by and beat numerous obstructions before arriving at his objective or goal. Correspondingly, trees instruct us to offer everything to the world and individuals.

In India, the birthday of Dr. Sarvepally Radhakrishnan is celebrated as teachers Day on September five, every 12 months. The second President and the primary vice president of India, he became a philosopher and an enlightened soul too. Teachers Day is widely known to pay tribute to the teachers who ignite young minds with the mild of information. To assume from broader perspectives, whoever or some thing or wherever we examine from all through our journey from cradle to grave is a trainer. Mom Nature is a fantastic teacher herself. Nature like a teacher evokes, motivates and enlightens us. Indian Eagle pays tribute to nature on the eve of instructors Day.
We had been near nature and away from fabric things in youth. The floating clouds, the flying birds, the flowing streams, the blooming vegetation, the blowing wind, the twinkling stars, the growing solar, the shining complete moon, the rolling waves, the towering hills and the falling leaves – exceptional styles of splendor – connect youngsters with nature. Innocent minds are like innocent creatures within the world of nature. Nature teaches the value of innocence and offers instructions on the identical. The divine beauty of nature is seen simplest to the harmless. Early life, innocence, splendor and happiness are intermingled with each other inside the nature poems of William Wordsworth, an excellent admirer, lover and worshiper of nature
Nature manifests its edifying self to us at exclusive factors of our adventure from early life to maturity. Nature, the best force inside the universe, famous its summary energy in unique concrete paperwork – mountains, rocks, oceans, rivers, trees, and so forth. Mountains, hills and rocks teach us the fee of determination in addition to decision. They were status tall for a while. Their steadfast position is a lesson on how to stand floor for the right and towards the incorrect. We examine from them to live with our heads held high. The human thoughts is as deep and mysterious as an ocean. Love, pleasure, kindness and mercy reside inside the abyss of the heart simply as pearls are located in the bottomless pit of oceans. Just like the wavy surface of seas, we are eloquent outdoor. The actual bliss of peace springs from our internal selves just as water bodies are clam inside the deep. The journey of a river from the supply to the vacation spot is a lesson on how to brave odds via self-discipline in existence. The pace of human life by no means ceases even within the face of adversity, simply as rivers stop at not anything on their way.
There are instructions to analyze from small artifices of nature, too. Vegetation that spread perfume of their surrounding educate us to spread love unconditionally. Trees give us classes on how to exist in spite of destructive situations. As we grow and age, our innocence is changed by using experience. Such herbal phenomenon as scorching summer season, biting wintry weather, rainfall and blows of wind make us experience that we’re humans of flesh & blood and that we exist. To be specific, the acute forces of nature give us lessons on adversity and teach us the way to continue to exist. It is the sector of nature wherein we take flight to from the monotony of day-to-day existence. Tour to hill stations and seaside destinations lends us a new lease of lifestyles through rejuvenation of the frame, the mind, the soul and the senses. If there were no retreat to nature, we might were going spherical inside the circle of toils and moils. The mundane international is full of warfare, conflicts and hardships. Journey to nature is the nice get away, although brief, from such grim slices of existence as boredom. It revives our energy and exuberance. It blesses us with peace and joy
For the reason that time immemorial, nature has been a supply of enlightenment in India, and travel has been the manner to obtain it. Swami Vivekananda, the greatest disciple of Ramakrishna Paramhansa, is the name that comes to the thoughts when we communicate of nature’s enlightening power. His excursion of India (Bharat Brahman) had culminated at Kanyakumari, the southernmost point of the country. In which he sat on a rock, meditated, visualized the destiny of India and finished enlightenment. Additionally, Gautama Buddha and Mahavira belong to the identical brigade of travellers looking for knowledge and fact.
If we look through the pages of history, we will find that now not simplest monks but additionally potent kings lived in forested areas and meditated looking for everlasting happiness, on the twilight level in their lives. For the reason that early age of human civilization on the earth, nature has been inspiring the innovative minds to indulge within the pursuit of discovery, invention and creativity. The splendor of hills, seas, waterfalls, lakes and the starry sky has been the muse to poets and painters. Tour is the pleasant tribute to Nature, the mightiest trainer of the universe. We at Indian Eagle would really like to finish with a famous quote via William Wordsworth:
“Come forth into the mild of factors, permit nature be your trainer’s“
In conclusion we are able to say that Nature is that the best teacher for any price and everything we tend to would like to be told. We should develop the power to browse the valuable lessons from Nature.
