My 100 Lies - Prem Sagar Gupta (Mech.)
It was 1953. After we shifted our residence to
city area, my father admitted me in fourth
standard in Government Primary School, Ram
Bagh in Amritsar. This school building has
been now converted in to a museum being a
part of Maharaja Ranjit Singh Heritage
Complex.
Those who have experienced winters of
Amritsar, especially in those old days, will
readily agree with me that winter months used
to be so cold that if you wished to punish
someone, the easiest way was to ask him to
take bath in the morning. And I was one who
used to take bath only on Sundays and that too
at noon time with hot water.
In our school, instructions were that every
student should come to the school after taking
bath daily. After prayer meetings, our
Headmaster used to shout orders that those
who had not taken bath, should fall out and
make a separate line. But I never fell out.
After that, the teachers used to inspect those
students who had not fallen out. Whichever
student the teacher doubted of not having
taken bath, used to be ordered to fall out. The
students of both categories, voluntarily fallen
out and ordered to fall out later, used to be
punished, punishment being stricter for latter
category.
No teacher ever doubted me for not having
taken bath and therefore I always escaped
detection and punishment. My secret was that
I used to daily take quarter bath i.e. wash face
and forearms, wet the hair and apply oil before
combing and also used to apply oil on face and
kajal in my eyes. I of course used to change
my shirt and pajama daily. That way, I
appeared to be fresh every morning.
Fact however remained that I told a lie every
morning during winters i.e. for about 100
winter days. This happened only during my
fourth standard. Before and after that in my
high school, taking daily bath was never
mandatory and therefore never had to tell a lie.
Vol 5, Jan Mar. 2022, PEC Musings 1965-69 Batch
At that time, I
always felt happy
that I did not take
bath and yet
escaped
detection. But
after I grew up
and learnt that
telling a lie was a
sin, I used to
wonder what
punishment God
will award me for
telling those 100 lies. Before and after those
hundred days, I had never lied. So my
calculation was that I lied only for one hundred
days and never told a lie for many a hundred
days. Using simple arithmetic, my being
truthful was much more and a net positive and
my conclusion was that God will not award me
any punishment because He is always
focused on net positive or negative.
At this age, I wonder about what conversation
I shall have with God when I meet him. Will
God enquire about my 100 lies or will He
confine to net bottom line which will be in my
favour.
I have however made up my mind that if God
enquires about my 100 lies, I shall bluntly tell
Him that I never told a lie and that I had taken
bath daily (without clarifying that it was a
quarter bath). When my teachers could not
detect my lie, how God can?
But if He will still insist, I shall tell Him that
no eight year old boy could take bath daily
in Amritsar during those winters and if He
did not believe me, let Him enquire from my
friends. I am confident that my
Ambarsariey friends Bhushan, Subhash,
Manohar, Raj, Handy, HKSG, LRS and
others will all support me without fearing
God.

A visit to Jaffna and Nellur Kandaswami Temple -
Sukhdev S Chohan (Elect.)
Jaffna town is in extreme northern side of Sri and it appears to be
Lanka. This is capital of Northern Province of the a sleepy town. Still
country. It has been in the news three decades security forces are in
back, being a hot bed of militancy. While in Sri plenty. On the
Lanka in 2019, I wanted to visit the place to see highway leading to
how it looks and feels there as compared to some the town in about

which I had visited. Another reason was to pay stretch, there are six

situation.

Territory wise Jaffna has proximity to India. The

Indian shore is barely thirty kilometers from there
and is separated by Palk straights in Bay of Bengal.
Tamil Nadu area is directly opposite to the city, but
the sea travel route is via the Mannar Iceland on Sri
Lanka side and Dhanushkody on Indian side.
Mannar Iceland is at sea shore, 92 Kilometers from
Jaffna in the Southern direction. In far North is a
he northern
most point of Sri Lanka.
Ferry service at Kayte

The worst affected terrorist area I have seen is in

Afghanistan. I remember the bullet ridden walls and
collapsed multistory buildings due to blowing up of
the supporting columns. Even in Kabul city there
were bullet ridden walls and cement poles with
gaping holes due to mortar fire.

Jaffna fort

The local inhabitants are mostly of Tamil origin and

speak Tamil, which is official language of Sri Lanka
along with Sinhalese and English. Majority of the
people of the area do not know the Sinhalese
language, the main language of Sri Lanka.
However some English speaking people are there.
Fishing boats at Jaffna harbour The language, living style and food of the area are
like that of Tamil people.
But there were no such signs in Jaffna. The only
thing I could see was that the population has

adjoining lagoon and from there ferry services are
operating to the surrounding islands. There are
some important shrines on one island namely
Punkudutivu, which attracts tourist rush on
weekends. Other main island is Kayts. The farthest
island towards Western side is Delft Island, named
by Dutch after the name of a Dutch village.
The town is famous for an old fort built by
Portuguese in the year 1618. It was taken over by
Dutch army four decades later, and thereafter by
British in 1795. The fort remained under the control
of militants from 1986 to 1995, before it was taken
over by Sri Lankan army. The inner buildings are in
dilapidated condition. There were massive fortified
walls of these buildings, but these are crumbling
now. There is a tourist information office at the entry
point. Being in disturbed area for a long time, and
due to insignificant tourist inflow to the town, this
old monument lacks maintenance.
Nellur Kandaswami temple entry
Although surrounded by sea, Jaffna area is
identified as a dry region and coconut plantation
there is also lesser. Fishing business is thriving.
The fishing boats can be seen in plenty.
Nellur temple inside
Vol 5, Jan Mar. 2022, PEC Musings 1965-69 Batch
The other very famous monument in the town is
Nellur Kandaswami temple. This is not only the
most revered Hindu temple here, but is also
physically the biggest Hindu temple of Sri Lanka.
Built originally in 948 AD, it was destroyed by
Portuguese in 1624 and a church was built at the
site. The present temple was built on a nearby
location in 1734 AD during Dutch occupation. The
main deity of the temple is Murugan. As per the
board displayed there, Kartikeya or Murugan was
elder son of Revered Shiva and Parvati. His other
names are Kartika, Sakand, Vaisakha, Kumara,
Shaanmugar, Swaminath, Sara van, Subramaniam
and many others. In Sri Lanka, in mid and
Southern areas, Kartika is known as Kataragama
too and there are some temples in that name as
well. As per religious texts referred there, the abode
of Shiva, Parvati and Ganesh was at Mount Kailash
and Kartikeya moved to South. In Tamil Nadu and
Kerala, there are a number of Murugan temples
with lot of worshippers.
Main Gate (Gopuram)
The temple main entry gate (called gopuram) is
nine storeys high. Another similar high gopuram is
being built on the other gate of the temple. The
temple area is fortified with high walls. It is beautiful
and well maintained. The unique feature is that
men have to remove the shirts to go inside the
temple. I too went inside to pay homage. It has a
pleasing and peaceful religious ambiance inside.
Photography is discouraged indoors, but I took
some snaps before a Pujari could intervene. Some
photos are shared.
Jaffna is peaceful now, although the people of
southern side of the country are still scared to visit
this area. Security situation is normal and the area
is catching up fast owing to continuing development
activities.

 Preventive Health Care
Human Kidneys crucial functions - Dr. Beenu Kaw
Cousin Sister of Mr. Vijay Kaul (Mech.)
The human body contains two kidneys, located on
either side of the spine below the rib cage, each
about the size of a fist. Kidneys, essentially function
as filters, ensuring that the blood in your system is
free of waste and/or excess fluid. The blood enters
the kidneys through the renal artery and passes
through millions of tiny filters that remove the waste
from the blood. The waste that is collected is stored
in the bladder as urine and is excreted when the
bladder is full, while the cleaned blood returns to
the bloodstream through the renal vein. Kidneys
are extremely important for bodily function and
once they begin to break down, the process can
only be slowed, not reversed.
Another common kidney-related ailment is kidney
stones. Kidney stones are hard objects that are

5G Mobile Telecom Systems An Overview Pawan Garg
(Electronics)
Telecom systems, especially the mobile systems,
have been evolving very fast. Developments of last
25 years have exceeded the developments of
telecom in 150 years (since the first telegraph
message was sent by Samuel F B Morse on 24
May 1944), many times over. Public mobile phone
systems have brought about a global revolution,
taking telephone to a common man in most
countries.
The picture below depicts the development of
mobile telecom network/ system.
5G is the 5th generation mobile telecom network. It
is a new global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G,
and 4G networks and these are telecom Industry
nomenclature. In ITU parlance (International
Telecommunication Union, HQ at Geneva,
Switzerland) it is known as International Mobile
Telecommunications (IMT) from 2G onwards.
First generation 1G: 1980s: it allowed analog
voice service.
Second generation 2G: Starting early 1990s,
the 2G introduced digital voice (e.g. GSM - Global
System for Mobile Communications; & CDMA -
Code Division Multiple Access).
Third generation 3G: Starting early 2000s: 3G
brought mobile data (e.g. CDMA 2000).
Fourth generation 4G LTE (Long Term
Evolution): Starting 2010s: 4G LTE ushered in the
era of mobile broadband.
Fifth generation 5G enables a new kind of
network that is designed to connect virtually
everyone and everything together including
machines, objects, and devices. The 5G wireless
technology (ITU terminology
) is meant to deliver higher data speeds
(tens of Mbps on average), ultra-low latency
(response time), more reliability, massive network
capacity, increased availability, and a more uniform
user experience. Higher performance and

industries.
The development of
5G started 10 years
ago and is designed
to support 100 times
increase in traffic
capacity. With high
speeds, superior
reliability and
negligible latency,
5G will expand the mobile ecosystem into new
realms, impacting every industry, making safer
transportation, remote healthcare, precision
agriculture, digitized logistics, smart cities, etc. a
reality. Autonomous or Driverless Cars, which
require very fast response (low latency of few milli-
seconds only, compared to more than 25 milli-
seconds with present 4G) are possible with 5G
wireless systems. Humanoid robots, unmanned
aerial vehicles or drones, etc. are some other
possible applications with 5G.
5G will use the frequency bands below 3 GHz
(presently used for 4G), mid bands (upto 6/7 GHz)
& high bands known as millimeter wave
(mmWave), where larger bandwidths can be
available for better capacity. Of course, higher
frequencies can cover shorter distances and the
telecom operators need to add many more base
stations (Towers in common term). It is possible to
use street poles for micro base stations (in place of
towers). With better antenna design, which can
direct the signal towards the users dynamically, the
energy requirement of these systems would also be
lower, compared to present day systems.
While 4G LTE focused on delivering much faster
mobile broadband services, 5G is designed to be a
unified, more capable platform that not only
elevates mobile broadband experiences, but also
supports new services such as mission-critical
communications and the massive IoT (Internet of
Things). With larger bandwidths and low latency, it
will be possible to have automatic & remote control
of various gadgets & appliances at home. In
industry, it will be possible to have greater
automation and control, as required, e.g. robots,
drones, etc.
5G has a satellite component also, which is also

evolving very fast. The Low Earth Orbit (LEO)
satellites will have the latency, comparable to land-
based systems. The terrestrial or land-based
systems, coupled with satellites will be able to
cover practically every nook and corner of the
globe.
With all telecom networks connected to global
Internet, the Cyber security as well as the telecom
network security have become crucial. Cyber
security is an integral part of 5G developments.
The computers & communications and their
development have complimented each other.
Miniaturization of computer modules has allowed
the present-day mobile/ smart phones to be more
powerful/ capable than many large-scale
computers about 50 years ago. Also, the faster
communications have helped development of
modern computers.
The Indian Government and Research entities are
making extensive efforts to keep pace with the
global developments of the 5G technologies and
have been able to evolve a Standard
requirements LMLC (Low Mobility Large
Coverage) and the same has been accepted by
Vol 5, Jan Mar. 2022, PEC Musings 1965-69 Batch
ITU. Hopefully, this should help our industry to
number of countries of developing world, which
have similar situation.
5G technology is different from 4G (& not an
upgrade), and hence will require totally new
infrastructure by operators, as well as new devices
by the users/ customers/ subscribers. However, a
very large number of customers might be able to
manage with the present 4G system and devices,
which also offer reasonable data speed, even
during peak hours. Hence, it will take time before
complete switch over to 5G.
5G is expected to bring about a paradigm shift in
the way we go about our activities. However, the
future is expected to bring many additional,
unforeseen features. The development of 6G
networks has already started.
Some Use cases of 5G applications:
Smart Cities:
Smart Lighting, Monitoring air quality, Smart
transportation, Congestion monitoring, Parking
sensors. In fact all IoT driven automation in a city.
Autonomous Vehicles:
Needs fast data transfer and low latency.
Sporting arena/ Metro Stations/ Cinemas:
Crowded spaces require high data handling
capacity lower latency
Manufacturing:
Automated factories with large number of IoT
devices and requiring quick response time
Health Care:
Hospitals where Patient/ Operating theatre/
Tomography and laboratory data is transmitted live
to doctors.
