The lecture began by a warm introduction given by Jasleen Kaur Sehgal, Secretary of the English Association. Ms. Todurkar explained about psychoanalysis and its importance. Psychoanalysis includes a set of theories established to understand the unconscious mind and is widely used for treating various mental disorders. She elaborated on the theories put forward by Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. The lecture helped the students to know about the history of psychoanalysis, the developments in this field and several archetypes. Psychoanalysis is also included in literature as a significant mechanism to evaluate any piece of work. Psychoanalytical criticism helps the readers to analyse what the writer wants to convey through the characters and their psyche. Hence, this guest lecture has indeed helped the students to broaden their knowledge on these theories and their applications. The lecture ended with an interactive conversation where the students came up with curious doubts.

C++ Training program
5th January 2019, Physics Department
Emerging technologies have played an important role to develop the world. Everything from mobile to our satellite now have the capacity to run code, a large portion of which is C++. Between 1972 and 1973 Dennis Richie authored the C programming language while working at Bell Labs. While great for efficiency, thanks to features such as low-level memory access, C is a procedural language and so does not provide object-orientated features. In response to this, Bjarne Stroustrup also while working at Bell Labs, began working on C with classes in 1979. In 1983, the language was renamed C++, and it saw its first commercial release two years later in 1985. Since then, it has gone through many standardizations, the last in December 2017, and continues to be governed by the International Organization for Standardization. Utilized in everything from operating systems to cutting-edge 3D game engines, C++ is the backbone of countless systems and industries, not least because of its high-performance capabilities, flexibility, and portability. C++ puts you close to the hardware, so it is often the tool of choice for performance-critical applications.
