Once in standard 10 and then again in standard 12. I finished my class 10 exams a month and around 10 days back. My results were released last week. One valuable lesson that I learned the day my results came out was "Love hurts but exam results kills" unless you are school first or state first then it is a totally different story and congratulations to you!

Board exams are always so stressful from the moment the dates of the examinations are announced until the date your results are being released. The stress level in every student...

AJ's Research Lab : Soil Testing

For some plants, the soil has to be alkaline and for others acidic. So, how do you find the alkalinity and acidity of soil? By finding the soil's pH value. What is pH?                           pH is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution. Solutions with a high concentration of hydrogen ions have a low pH and solutions with low concentrations of H+ ions have a high pH. (It's confusing. I know) The PH level is measured from 0-14. The neutral levels are 6-7. If you use a meter and your soil is mea...
