Education is something which is very close to my heart. Sugar labs is an outstanding organisation. I am excited by each effort this organisation takes for child education. I came to know about sugar labs through OLPC laptops which i want in govt. schools of my capital with the help of existing Govt. Soon i explored the organisation and i started loving it. Fortunately Gsoc 15 was a step ahead so realized to finish something cool for kids & contribute to sugar labs as well. | Education is something which is very close to my heart.

'''If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Sugar Labs community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours. The other two should be answers from members of the Sugar Labs community, at least one of whom should be a Sugar Labs GSoC mentor.<br> | '''If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Sugar Labs community?

'''My Opionion''': Sugar believes that "Everyone is a teacher and a learner". My projects Physics & Dimensions would be one of the best available tools for learners and teachers. Around 3 Million Children are sugar users. We want Sugar and Sugar activities freely and readily available to learners everywhere, hence web ports are a dire need saying web platform are a faster & cheapest. Kids at any corner of world would be able to learn Physics quite practically and Dimensions to increase their observational skills that helps them think quickly & enrich their mental abilities. | |||

If i am stuck i always like to move on and keep the doubt in my stack. Will produce it once my mentor is back. Depending on the issue i get i will try first finding solution on my own via relevant sources say Google,StackOverflow,Sugar IRC etc. I feel there are lot of ways i can tackel this situation. Hence i will try to look upon myself for the solution in case my mentor is not around. | |||

I am planning to maintain a blog and update my progress every sunday on my sugar wiki account. I am quite active on IRC as well and i believe is the fastest medium for me. Once my mentor appears i will pass links to my code,wiki,blogs to him to have a quick check up. I will create a thread on Mailing List as well that would help other developers for regular updates on PhyscisJS and DimensionsJS Development. | |||

It was when i was in 6th standard. My Physics teacher asked me to explain the class, differences between "Regular & Irregular Reflections of Light". | |||
I had a jumping ball in my bag. I asked my teacher, will he allow me to show a demo. He allowed and i did two experiments: | |||
1. I asked class will ball bounce to me back if i throw it on smooth blackboard. They said yes. ''Hence "Regular Reflection". You can predict reflection behaviour in advance.'' | |||
2. I asked class which direction ball would reflect if i throw it to the rough wall near window, they couldn't answer and everybody gave different answers. ''Hence "Irregular Reflections". You cannot predict the reflection behaviour in advance. '' | |||
