NTSE interview and lot's more!

It has been a long time since I've been on this blog. So, let's recount some of the activities that happened in the past, and some which are soon to take place. Let's begin with the NTS interviews. I took my NTSE interview on 3rd Aug. in Delhi. I had four judges, who asked me questions in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History and Geography. Some of the questions included-
Physics:

1. Contributions of Albert Einstein in Physics
2. Explanation of Einstein's law
3. Contributions of Steven Hawking
4. The fact that Steven Hawking is physically challenged, and yet he has proved himself as an outstanding astronomer

Chemistry:

1. Tell about structure of atoms-protons, neutrons and electrons with their charges
2. A question on nuclear stability was asked: if neutrons do not have any charge on them, and how are they bound to the nucleus

Biology:

1. Classify dinosaur (they expected complete classification including kingdom, species, phylum etc.)
2. Classify yourself
3. Four characteristics of mammals

Geography:

1. Define igneus, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
2. Of what rocks are Himalayas made up of? How have they been made?
3. What rocks have relation to biology?

History:
1. Name any four non-Indians who played a notable role in the national movement?
2. What is Home Rule League?
