The three terms – Algorithm, Heuristic and Metaheuristic – are often used in Engineering fields. Knowing about these terms could be beneficial.   Algorithms  can be considered as any sequence of operations. Computer programs contain algorithms which have detail instructions so that specific tasks can be performed by computer. Flowcharts and programming languages are most commonly used to express Algorithms. In optimization problems, heuristic algorithms can be used to find a solution. These algorithms work by getting closer and closer to the optimal solution in a relatively short time as they progress. Tabu search (deterministic algorithm), simulated annealing algorithms (non-deterministic algorithm), genetic algorithms are some of them.    Heuristics  can be termed as strategy derived from previous experiences with similar problems. Many heuristics algorithms are specific and problem dependent. Metaheuristics  may be used fo...

I have just learnt some important things (though we all know these from childhood but we should try to keep in mind these things always): Wisdom is more important than wealth The biggest weakness is being afraid without any reason Don’t make friendship with fools as they could make harm to you Don’t make friendship with misers as they would leave you when you need them Don’t believe liars as they would show you dreams and then leave you without fulfilling them Keep away from backbiters as they would also backbite about you Avoid jealousy, arrogance and greed We are human beings and we may have many character defects. It’s up to us to decide if we want to be good and improve our character power. You just need to be committed to improve yourself, that’s it! Good intentions will attract good things in your life!

The dessert 'Payesh' is delicious to eat. I like it so much. Here is an easy recipe to make it. Ingredients: 1 liter milk   Powdered milk   Polao rice   Sugar Recipe: Heat 1 liter of milk over mild heat for about 40 minutes. (Pay attention whether the milk overflows. Stir to break up the foam as it forms). Mix a cup of water with 2 spoons of powdered milk and pour it into the liquid milk which is still heating and let the mixture be heated for another 20 minutes. (By this time – it can be said after total 50 minutes – wash 2 handful ‘Polao rice’ and soak it in enough water for about 10 minutes). After 20 minutes (it has been now 60 minutes total), drain the rice and add it to the milk. Keep stirring to avoid sticking of rice. Let it be cooked for about 20 minutes now. Add sugar as per your taste, stir and cook for another 10 minutes so that the milk thickens. All these take total 90 minutes and now turn off the flame. Let this be cooled and the m...

Quotes may have a good influence in life. Some quotes make us more positive about life when some help to see life from different perspective. They also have the power to revitalize our lives. I would like to include something from the movie  “Three Idiots”  – Rancho:  That day I understood that this heart scares easily. You have to trick it, however big the problem is, tell your heart, 'Pal, all is well. All is well.' Raju:  Does that solve the problem? Rancho:  No, but you gain courage to face it. So, going through positive or inspirational quotes cannot solve anything but these will give us strength to face everything. These quotes are collected from different books, movies, facebook pages, famous people etc. Here are some of them: 1.        Shift your focus from source of pain to what is desired 2.        All our problems have a solution and problems are not stop signs, th...
