February Updates
The month of January
was a busy month with Semester 1 and Semester 3 university exams. Mathematical
Physics (PHY 511) and Nuclear Physics (PHY 533) was quite manageable ones as
per student’s opinions, which is a good news to share with you all. On February
2, 2016, we organised a seminar on “Neutrino, A Solution to Enigma” It was a
popular talk focusing on the general aspects of Nobel Prize in Physics 2015
and to explain to the common listeners the meaning and significance of neutrino
to grand design of the Universe. There were 58 participants who include Prof. Gopchandran,
our Guide, my friends- Mr. Siddik, Department of Economics, Mr. Vishnu
Narayanan, Department of English, Mr. Binu, Department of Opto-electronics.

A small treat for my colleagues
As semester II has
started, first year students were taken to the garden outside the department
for a brief session to explain how demanding the nature of semester is, and how
to take care of it judiciously. Students have promised that they would make a
continual effort in making the semester lively, informative and useful one.
Being a course adviser, it was my pleasure to take them for a coffee to nearby
canteen. Again I believe that a coffee may not be the best part in the
gathering, rather the togetherness is the best part of this meeting. And “my
students are just the best”. Again, adding some photos of the same. Let me share
with you an interesting fact. We all know that time travel is not possible and
it is forbidden by special theory of relativity. But these snaps taken by a
camera brings back all those moments in just a matter of time.
Let me share with you
an interesting fact of this week. We're in the middle of a four week period
where early risers have been treated to a rare astronomical sight: 5 planets
right in a row! It's the first time since 2005 that we've been able to see all
five planets lined up. The show has been going on since mid-January. I, Bibin
(Mphil), Sajin (M Sc II year), Sreerag (M Sc II Year) and Uday were fortunate
enough to visit Observatory on February 2016. Some snaps taken by Sreerag (M Sc II Year)
On February 5,2016 I delivered
a talk on “The expanse of Nano” at St. Michael’s college, Cherthala. This college
means a lot to me. I Studied by B Sc (Physics) in this college. My fathers,
Prof. K A Solaman, my mother, Prof. K V Stella were former Head of the Department
(Physics) of this institution. I still remember the days when I used to take
seminars in front of them in B Sc classes. Whatever Physics, I know today is
because of my father. He taught me how it should be taught and I have never
seen someone teaching better than him. I find a resonance in his frequency and
mine which could have been the reason for maximum power transfer. My mother
helped me to get the confidence in me to work hard while taking a seminar or
teaching a topic in class. She found in me a teacher and said to me that I
could be good teacher in years to come. Her comments, critical statements still
help me to improve my talks today. I believe that if someone supports like they
do, then no worries could be shake your world down. So my message is to keep
someone motivating always with your side, say your parents, friends or someone
very influential, just like my sister. I write this blog to my listeners to
convey a message. I need all to study
Physics as good as possible. May be a little more push could see you through. Especially
to the students in St. Michael’s college, I want you all to study well. We,
Department of Physics, St. Michael’s College were one known in the university
for 100% pass with >90% distinction. The students makes the college, its
repute depends on your attitude. Work well my dear ones to succeed and believe me
Physics is not actually a boring subject. The talk was managed well and the
best part of the event was that I could collect the memento from my father.
