Hello there!

Imagine a photograph capturing a beautiful sunset. Even though the sunset itself is temporary, the photo allows us to appreciate its beauty and the emotions it evokes. Similarly, Wong’s films might capture fleeting moments, but they can still hold lasting meaning and emotional impact. The brilliance of Fallen Angels [1995] comes not from its visuals or characters alone, Wong uses his characters as puppets in this grand visually stunning performance. The following reviews capture the essence and the meaning of this film’s 99 beautiful minutes, but sometimes miss the connotation of visuals over characters or characters over visuals....

This is going to be a detailed post including everything that we did in CodeDay Lucknow. Was it successful? Did we change things? How was the kebab like? All your questions will be answered in this page of mon-cahier. CodeDay Lucknow was a 24-hour event, first of its kind in Lucknow and a rollercoater of organisation. All the pictures are from CodeDay Lucknow, obviously. I don’t know why I had to clarify that....

Disclaimer: π is irrational. Duh doy. We’ve proved it over and over and over again, but this isn’t really about π being rational or not. No no. This is about how mysterious the simplest of technologies tend to be even today when it feels like we’ve mastered technology. But seriously, π ISN’T rational, don’t get any ideas. The Confusion Try this. Open up your calculator (a physical one) and type in 116 / 13 and look at the solution carefully....

Known by so many different names, The RSA algorithm, the Asymmetric Encryption or the Public-Private key cryptography is easily one of the pillars that hold the largest network known to us together: the internet. It’s clever. It’s efficient. And it feels seemingly “loophole free”. We’ve all played with Caesar Cipher; Caesar Cipher might just be the simplest example of cryptography (probably the oldest) that we can play with. What’s up with this fancy new stuff then?...

Cryptography is not a new concept to humans. We have been encrypting messages, trying to make it impossible for other humans to read our messages. It is nothing new. In roman times, Julius Caesar came up with a new kind of encryption where he used to shift all the letters of the message to a certain number. This was called Caesar Cipher. We don’t know if this story is factually correct, but Caesar cipher might be the most known of all the simple encryption techniques....
