Café Conversations

Travelling along the path carved by the biased and self-righteous society, we are not unfamiliar with one of the hypocritic statements,             "Don't judge a book by its cover." The statement has its share of truth, it sounds unfair to draw any opinion or judgment on a situation without acknowledging the whole picture. But surprise, surprise!! We have our judgy ' padoshwali ' aunty, know-it-all ' ristedaars ' and  future-predicting parents. Of course, the real world doesn't work that way.  It has taken the saying as only a 'saying' literally. The world does judge the book by its cover. We all do consciously or not.  Falsely accusing an innocent as a pickpocket in public just from the face and even predicting the reaction of a random person,  at times it's to the point, and sometimes not. Well, let me take you to the brighter side of the theory . It's an art. It's the art of judging the present with previously known patterns wh...

DEB BISWAS  Affiliation (Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Siksha ‘O’ Anusandhan Deemed to be University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India) 1941012412.c.debbiswas @gmail.com     Abstract:                                                              (image source: Nunatix)                                                              As the major technological organizations are shifting to store data on cloud the demand for cloud storage is rapidly increasing. Though there are major barriers in using the cloud as the primary storage the topmost is privacy and security. In today’s world data leak of users of some major applications have become a...

                                                              Did you listen to that new song Justin Bieber released?  How can you still be watching Rick & Morty; I’m waiting for the new season of Money Heist? Seriously, who wears bell-bottoms these days? These are quite some phrases that you get to hear when you are not really ready to let go of the trends of the 00s (and of course, the 90s). The youth of today stand real close to technology. But back when we were in school? I guess a couple episodes of Doraemon, a cricket playground and the regular but futile rant for homework sufficed the appetite. And today? Are you cool if you don’t binge your favorite series, submit your practical reports in a PDF and play some awesome-graphic-I-can-never-get-tired-of-this computer game? Well, not sure. Growing up, we saw how much unlik...

QUANTUM COMPUTING   WALK-THROUGH   Quantum Computers   fundamentally differ from ordinary computers. In normal computers the information in a classical bit is stored as 0 or 1 whereas a quantum bit more precisely a qubit can store 0 or 1 at the same time. Qubits are composed of subatomic particles so they work in coherence with the subatomic logic. Qubits can be 0,1 or a linear combination of 0 and 1. Quantum computers can perform certain tasks exponentially faster than the classical computers  which is what makes them more intriguing.                  Efficient Database Searching Database searching is one such field. In a classical computer to find anything in a database may require testing of every single one of its entries. On the other hand, quantum algorithms are capable of performing the same task in square root of that time.        Enhanced Security...

The Visage    S taring at my visage  The world saw a bright face  but do you know the darkness  I faced Do you dare to see the tears  that spread across my face  Do you see only when i am bright  or do you see when i am blue  Can you tell i'm screaming ?  out for the help i need  or i am just the silence  of a winter night  Do you see the cold knife  that stabs my old life  as i started living on the edge  like a withered sedge  Do you see unflawed me  or do you see the broken me  Do you see all pain  or do you just see my pain or do you just see my joy   Do you see what i have become  in searching for one thing  that would set my sad soul free  Look into these eyes  And dive into my soul  And tell me am i a  Shattered piece of glass                     or a  stunning sapphire    ...
