She would rather be called a physicist who ‘happens to be a woman’. The 68-year-old Godbole is best known for her work at European Organization for Nuclear Research, popularly known as CERN, in Switzerland. Her work on high energy photons could form the basis for the next generation of particle colliders, <a href="http://nobelprizeseries.in/tbis/rgodbole">says the Indian Department of Biotechnology</a>. <div type="image" title="godbole3" msid="80858701" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Particle physicist, Professor Rohini Godbole, won the Padma Shri award in 2019&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> You can watch excerpts from the entire interview or read the edited transcript below: <div type="javascript" title="Custom" contenttype="Video"><cdata><![CDATA[]]></cdata></div> Ahead of the <keyword id="10740640" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="international-day-for-women-and-girls-in-science">International Day for Women and Girls in Science</keyword>, Business Insider reached out to the inspiring scientist from Pune to get the story of her interest and career in science."In my 11th grade, my school had asked for an essay titled 'The reforms that may be made in my school'. And, I remember I wrote in my essay that they should start teaching science from Class 5 and not Class 7 or 8 because, otherwise, in the competitive exams we are at a disadvantage. And, believe it or not, the school accepted it," she told Business Insider. Godbole holds the Padma Shri, the highest civilian honour in India, as dearer because it is "like your parents patting you on the back." Women in India who have been conferred with the Padma Shri award usually come from the fields of art and music, medicine, health, and social work. However, Godbole is a rare case where the work of a woman from science has been recognised. She shares this space with literally a handful of achievers like botanist Janaki Ammal, neuroscientist Vijayalakshmi Ravidranath and immunologist Indira Nath. <div type="image" title="godbole2" msid="80858997" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Rohini Godbole shares the space of science with only a handful of other achievers like botanist Janaki Ammal, neuroscientist Vijayalakshmi Ravidranath and immunologist Indira Nath&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Tell us about your childhood, your school life, and how and why did you choose this field of particle physics? I grew up in what one would call a typical middle-class family. But, they had always set a very high value on education. And, I grew up in Pune, which is in Maharashtra. It used to be called — at least once upon a time — the Oxbridge of India. So, it's a city well-known for its education. I studied in an all-girls school, which was perhaps the first English high school that was also a girls’ high school founded in Maharashtra — perhaps even in India. We were never taught general science, till 7th class. We were only taught home science. And, in 7th grade there used to be a scholarship called the State Merit Scholarship examination in which there used to be one paper on general science. Since I used to be pretty good in mathematics, my teachers actually took the trouble of working after hours with me. And that's when I started learning science. In fact, at the time, one of my class teacher’s husband — who was a science teacher — offered that I could talk to him in the evenings at his home, and he introduced me to many things outside the books in science. He taught me to read science magazines, and then I started taking part in science essay competitions because of him. This is how my science interest began. How does it feel to be among one of the few dozen women said this to win international accolade and recognition in the scientific field? OK, you know, I really wish people would stop thinking of us women scientists as women scientists. We happen to be scientists who happen to be women. But, I really look forward to the day when one is not slotted as a woman scientist. This is just my feeling and hope that I'm trying to express. But yes, I think I'm quite happy. Of course, I'm happy on a personal level. You don't do research for getting recognition. You do research for the joy of it. ... I think women getting these awards does have an additional plus side to it. It tells young girls that there is nothing special about it. That no, gender does not, and cannot play a role in it. A man and a woman can equally really get the honour. And, to me, that is actually one of the very best things that happens when women get awards. Why don't you tell us a little bit about your field of study? That's a question dear to my heart because that's what I've been doing for the last 50 years. Firstly doing it, then teaching it and finally doing research in it. The general subject that I'm working on is what we can call particle physics. And, the other word for the same subject is high energy physics. ... This is really kind of a study of what are the most fundamental constituents of nature and how those constituents are put together. The subject is somehow very interesting and very difficult to unravel at the same time because it's like completing a puzzle made out of Lego pieces. You want to understand what is the size and shape of the different Lego pieces which make the whole. And we're not allowed to take things apart, right? That is, to some extent, the nature of the work. ... The point is that efforts that have gone on trying to understand this have given us, for example, lasers, the Internet as well as semiconductors. Therefore, this kind of journey is at the heart of all matter. It has been going on for centuries, actually, almost two centuries. It has produced byproducts for our technology just because some of the things people have investigated, they have done it just for the heck of it. Then, what is the one piece of advice or word of caution that you would like to share with girls aspiring to join the scientific community? There is no word of caution. I mean frankly, I think whether you are studying science arts, or commerce, gender is not an issue — ever. Your gender cannot play a role in this. What plays a role is your intellectual abilities and your interest. There is nothing special about studying science compared to studying history. Each has its value. Each has its interest. And, one should just follow one's own mind. That is the one piece of advice I would give — that follow your own mind. Don't let others tell you whether maths is not for you or physics is not for you.

Through his notable essay on civil disobedience, the author influenced prominent figures such as Mahatma Gandhi, Leo Tolstoy, and Martin Luther King Jr. The special day arose from the desire to be free of worldly things that cause stress in our daily lives. It highlights the importance of breaking free from the shackles of the modern world and learning how to live life to the fullest without spending time in the virtual world. Worldwide, people spend most of their time on social media, mobile phones, and other forms of technology. The National Simplicity day can help to break the technology chain and help live ordinarily. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="The theme for 2022" comment="subhead" text="The theme for 2022">The theme for 2022</cmsannotation> This year, the National Simplicity Day theme is ‘Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities’.

Stressing that it is the job of the historian to take note of new research, historian and author <keyword id="5487" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="william-dalrymple" source="Orion">William Dalrymple</keyword> says there is nothing wrong with re-examining history in light of new evidence. "It is a good thing that history must be reexamined by every successive generation: relooked at and rethought and discussed over again. I personally believe that it is not at all a bad thing for history to be looked at from the ever-changing perspectives of the present. Such discussion and debate is entirely legitimate, but it has to be firmly anchored in the facts found in the primary sources and not just be an expression of political opinion, nationalistic muscle-flexing, or religious orthodoxy. "Sadly, there is often a tendency in this country to reduce history to binaries: a world full of great heroes and great villains. In reality, human beings are rarely black or white: we are all different shades of gray," he tells IANS at the 6th Kerala Literature Festival organised by the DC Kizhakemuri Foundation. "It's the historian's job to research and express those subtle nuances. In history, nuance is everything."

Stressing he chooses to write history at this moment, though he loved writing travelogues in his twenties and could go back to them one day, the author says he has often considered writing a sequel to his 2010 bestseller, 'Nine Lives: In Search of the Sacred in Modern India'. Also a photographer, Dalrymple says that writing and photography use different parts of the brain: Photography is immediate and about the instant moment, while writing is slow, and considered and involves much editing, rewriting, and rethinking. "They both give me different pleasures. I am also doing a podcast titled 'Empire' with Anita Anand. It's been a surprising hit since it started in August and there are now a million downloads a month. Earlier, it was just British, US, and Australian audiences, but now it is doing really well in India too." The author, who has also collaborated with singer-composer <keyword id="774239" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="vidya-shah" source="Orion">Vidya Shah</keyword> for literary-musical acts ('The Last Mughal' and the White Mughals') feels it is interesting to divide his time between different forms of creativity and believes the variety keeps him fresh and engaged, always wrestling with new challenges: "While my main calling is history, I am also a photographer and have been a travel writer, a foreign correspondent, a festival organiser, and a podcaster. Next year, I am taking up a visiting fellowship at Al Souls College, <keyword id="46985" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="oxford" source="Orion">Oxford</keyword>. If you keep yourself fresh and interested you're more likely to keep your audience engaged." In his research process, the best part is visiting the places where the events he will write about took place. "It is more like a holiday -- going to the ruins and the temples and the battlefields. Yes, the archives are a slog. But the hardest bit is writing... putting pen to paper. The first two-three months are especially tough but then you see the pile of paper building, and the writing improving through successive drafts and that feels very satisfying. It is exactly because of that difficulty that finishing a book is such a uniquely satisfying moment," he concludes.

Nothing wrong with re-examining history in light of new evidence: William Dalrymple

Since the crypto industry is constantly evolving and we’re still in the early days of development, people interested in cryptocurrencies continue to educate themselves about this asset class. The <a href="https://wazirx.com/signup?invite=2kpah6gr&amp;utm_source=business-insider&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=microsite" id="docs-internal-guid-a6b3fe01-7fff-b585-a82a-030cad18b235">crypto</a> landscape is constantly unfolding. New use cases are discovered frequently, applications are developed, and businesses continue to adopt them for payment settlement. Despite being an unregulated sector, lakhs of investors are joining the bandwagon. <div type="ExtQuote" text="You will not hear news about a scam happening in this space in India. It is because we have been trying to make sure everything is clean. So when the government decides to regulate it, they do not have to worry about firefighting." auname="Nischal Shetty, CEO of WazirX told Scroll"></div> WazirX is among India’s oldest crypto exchanges and operational since 2017. It’s backed by Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange. <h2 style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="But what exactly is a cryptocurrency?" comment="subhead" text="But what exactly is a cryptocurrency?">But what exactly is a cryptocurrency?</cmsannotation></h2> They are a form of payment that can be exchanged for goods, services, and other commodities. Unlike a fiat currency like Rupee, it is entirely decentralized. Its principal purpose, though, is to work as an electronic cash system that isn’t owned by a single party. The term “cryptocurrency” is a combination of cryptography and currency. It simply means cryptocurrency makes extensive use of cryptographic techniques to secure transactions. It’s based on the simple concept of <a href="https://blog.wazirx.com/how-to-learn-blockchain-programming/" id="docs-internal-guid-6b7dffd1-7fff-a5bb-e2c1-8e57479b5106">Blockchain</a>, which is actually quite old. A Blockchain contains information in packets that are called “blocks” and connected in a chain. While banks maintain a central ledger, a blockchain’s ledger is decentralized and based on peer-to-peer technology. This chain of blocks, cannot be edited or changed, making the ledger extremely secure and eliminates the need for a central clearing authority. Cryptocurrencies were solely meant to be used as money, and Bitcoin is a classic example. However, modern blockchains like <a href="https://blog.wazirx.com/what-is-ethereum/" id="docs-internal-guid-06fb4d90-7fff-42b6-8b07-be45d6dcae81">Ethereum</a> allow developers to run smart contracts (code) on a decentralized network. This technology also makes NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) possible. These blockchains rely on a token, which serves as digital receipts. <h2 style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:18pt;margin-bottom:6pt;"><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="How are cryptocurrencies made?" comment="subhead" text="How are cryptocurrencies made?"><keyword id="11419767" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="How-are-cryptocurrencies-made" source="Orion">How are cryptocurrencies made</keyword>?</cmsannotation></h2> The first cryptocurrency was Bitcoin, which was created in 2009 and is still the best known. Units of a cryptocurrency are made through a process called mining. It involves the computation of complex mathematical algorithms to create a virtual coin. The mechanism is chosen to control the supply of coins over time, preventing hyperinflation. Although, each cryptocurrency has its unique model of mining, distribution, and economic principles. The miner who solves the problem first adds the transaction details to the blockchain. The process rewards the miner with coins since it helps in verifying each transaction of the blockchain. The system is fully transparent and all transactions carried out in the blockchain are recorded. Some newer currencies utilize a different concept of mining, which requires far less energy. Instead of computing, blocks of nodes that occupy storage space in a hard drive are leveraged. It eliminates the need for a high-end mining rig. <h2 style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="How do you store cryptocurrencies?" comment="subhead" text="How do you store cryptocurrencies?">How do you store cryptocurrencies?</cmsannotation></h2> Just like a bank account or Demat account, a blockchain <a href="https://blog.wazirx.com/tips-keep-your-bitcoin-wallet-safe/" id="docs-internal-guid-3c53ae3d-7fff-ec1f-97b5-7a093c3c04da">wallet</a> is used to store your coins, often informally called cryptos. The wallet facilitates smooth exchanges and payments. All the transactions are secure, as they are cryptographically signed. It's very similar to the process of sending or receiving money through PayPal or any other digital wallet used today, but you use it for cryptocurrency instead. WazriX's wallet is based on the same concept and is secure.

The most active ones are multi-cap coins like Ethereum, Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin, Polygon, and more. You can buy or sell them on a cryptocurrency exchange. These are platforms that broker the trading of cryptocurrencies for other assets, including digital and fiat currencies. They are independent and operate just like stock exchanges do globally. WazirX is India's most trusted cryptocurrency exchange, and Rupee to cryptocurrency transactions are seamlessly possible. It's a centralized exchange, hence its operations are handled by a registered company. It adds a layer of reliability since an anonymous entity is not brokering trades.

The big victory against Afghanistan has revived India's hopes of reaching the semi-finals of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. But it will be a very tight race with India's chances not only depending on the results of their matches but also those of other teams in Group 2. With nine matches to go in the Super 12 stage, Pakistan, who have won all their four matches so far, are the only confirmed semi-finalist, and Scotland, the only team out of contention. <div type="image" title="0134a1e665a6bfd71655e5373d35eaa9" msid="87522655" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;India&amp;#39;s R Ashwin, celebrates with Indian Captain Virat Kohli after taking wicket during the Cricket Twenty20 World Cup match between India and Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Thus, New Zealand, Afghanistan, India, and Namibia are still mathematically in contention for the second semi-final place from the group in what could be a thrilling conclusion to the Super 12 stage. Among the pre-tournament favourites, India found themselves on the brink of elimination following heavy defeats to Pakistan and New Zealand in their first two matches. The big win over Afghanistan helped, but their likeliest road to the semi-finals is registering further huge wins over each of their next two opponents while hoping Afghanistan beat New Zealand by the barest of margins so that they can catch up on NRR. Any loss would end India's qualification hopes, and if New Zealand win their remaining games then there is nothing India can do. In short: India need a favour from Afghanistan against New Zealand and more big winning margins. <div type="image" title="9ee4fa5f4f290390b524569c182b4a03" msid="87522720" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Afghanistan&amp;#39;s Mohammad Shahzad collides with India&amp;#39;s Hardik Pandya during the Cricket Twenty20 World Cup match between India and Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi, UAE.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Things look a lot easier for New Zealand, though they too have to win all their matches to secure a place in the last four. On paper, the Black Caps have got their two toughest games out of the way, suffering a loss to Pakistan before winning comfortably against India. If they win their remaining two matches they will be guaranteed a spot in the next stage. A victory over Afghanistan paired with a loss to Namibia would see them relying on both India and Namibia's results and NRR. A win over Namibia and then a defeat to Afghanistan would also see it come down to NRR, with three teams potentially level on six points after five matches. Afghanistan have the edge currently over New Zealand on NRR, and India have the advantage of playing the last game in the group so would know exactly the permutations involved. However, Afghanistan's heavy defeat to India on Wednesday night has made their position in Group 2 far less stable. They now must beat New Zealand in their final group game to qualify, and even then a victory in that match may not be sufficient, although they do still have the best NRR in the group. Lose to New Zealand and they are certainly out. If the next set of Group 2 results go to form and New Zealand beat Namibia and India beat Scotland, then it will all come down to NRR if Afghanistan beat the Black Caps on Sunday. The NRR permutations on the final day are not yet clear, but it could be the case that India play Namibia in the final game of the Super 12 stage knowing exactly what they need to do in order to finish in second place in the group. It would also come down to NRR if Afghanistan beat New Zealand and Namibia manage victories over the Black Caps and India. In short: Victory over New Zealand could be enough for Afghanistan, but NRR is still vital Mathematically, Namibia are still in contention for the lone qualification spot from this group. Having registered a memorable win over Scotland in their first-ever Super 12 match, Namibia are still in the chase despite chastening defeats to Afghanistan and Pakistan. If they win both their remaining matches, they will have a chance to re'ch the semi-finals. Of course, that won't be easy given their next two opponents are New Zealand and India. They are relying on other results and, given their NRR, even two victories over their much-fancied opponents is unlikely to be enough. But they still have a chance.
