A word from Hall President
It was nothing more than a flash. That is the only word that describes my 4 year long ordeal at this remarkably weird place. Clichéd as it may sound, I really plan to write a book about it one day...[:P]. There are a few chapters in this book, some interesting, some funny, some extremely passionate to the core, while some filled with despair and frustration. However, the longest and the most colorful chapter is titled "Me and LLR HALL”. The student life at KGP is all about brotherhood; it is the common interests that we have that brings us together, first in a strictly formal sense, but then as time passes, you don’t even realize when you get so attached to these people that the term 'friendship' acquires a whole new meaning. The best example of this i feel is my association with the community of my fellow Lajpatians. LLR hall has been such a huge part of my existence at KGP that it is really hard to describe in one page how much I have enjoyed, loved, hated, criticized and learned from it. From eating a handful of salt in my second year to winning the athletic GC in my fourth year, from playing cricket each and everyday with my wing mates to always ending up losing the first match in the inter‐wing tournament, it has been nothing but a roller coaster ride. From the point of view of a Hall President, it has been an overall good year with few ups and downs. The year started out quite well, with us winning the athletic GC, achieving a good lead in the Tech GC, winning several Soc‐Cult events. Then were a few setbacks like illumination was not held this time for the first time in 50 years, the hall day could not take place owing to a change in policy of the administration. The year ending brought a terribly sad news of the unexpected demise of our dear friend Rohit Kumar. It was an incident where for the first time the collective effort and unity of the hall members was called for and the way the entire community of LLR hall responded to this call was highly commendable. What ensued after that is history which none of us will ever forget. May Rohit's soul rest in peace and we all hope such terrible incidents never occur in the future. The General Championships were scrapped as a consequence of the incident with most events being cancelled and some being held on a small scale and in a non competitive fashion. The year ended on a good note with both the LLR hall candidates winning the TSG elections for the posts of G.Sec Tech and G.Sec Soc Cult. I do hope that LLR continues to excel and achieve greater heights next year. I would like to bid goodbye to all the pass outs and wish them good for their future endeavors. Finally, I would like to thank a few people without whose support it would have been very difficult to shoulder this responsibility: Khabya, Dalla, Kamble, Dora, Kenkre, Chintu, Jayant, Kuldeep, Romil, GD, Pranjal and Mistry. Thank you; you guys have been a great support. Yo LLR!
Regards,
Saurabh Bhati

SSM Speaks The leaves have turned dry, calendars on the wall have changed and in between all the commotion of life another year has passed by. And now when I sit down writing about it I can’t help myself feeling mesmerised by the ups and downs this year has shown to the hall. In the end there’s a feeling of contentment with the hall performance in the GC’s, Happy and somewhat relieved by the hall’s success in the gymkhana election, and sad, gloomy because the tragedies which struck the hall. Our performance in the inter halls (in all the 3 GC’s) saw a steep ascend as compared to previous years. We lead the sports Gc for the greater part of the year. Thanks to some wondrous performances in athletics, football, aquatics and lawn tennis we ended up 2nd in the points table missing the 1st place by a hairsbreadth. We were 1st in the Points table of Tech GC and 4th in the Soc‐cult. However this hall which has its own history and a long acquaintance with chaos and bedlams was struck by not one but two tragedies which in their wake completely tore apart our spirits. Destiny played a cruel trick resulting in the sad and unfortunate demise of Sumit Dayal and Rohit Kumar. Sumit Dayal or “ Dalla’’ as we used to call him was a great support to LLR during the hall’s most difficult times. Though the voids they left behind can never be filled, I believe they would live in our hearts forever. And now as the new batch takes up charge of the hall I would like to wish them all the best. This hall needs all the tempo it can get and its the responsibility of every Lajpatian to deliver what this hall expects from them. As someone rightly quoted “ It’s the hall that keeps you alive all these years Whether its the hall event, or the wing, or the mess food.” Keep up the tempo!! Signing off Ajit Khabya

Morning Tea Revolting wake to a screeching hark, Snapping brain to a jerking start Guilty promise of a late‐night lark Rebelling mutiny of every body part! Tempting call of the bed most alluring Tasting mint with the ritual brushing Nervous tingle of a splash refreshing Forcing a fight to a denied sleeping. First pangs of a fasting belly Set on chasing time really Hurtling towards the sweet jelly All that's needed is the cup only. Warming the cockles of my heart so deep Ripping gently apart my brain from sleep Setting me ready for promises to keep Rigging me right for the ascent so steep. Sun is magical for all green tree So is nectar for the working bee Tell me, without you, where would I be? Oh dear, Blessed be the morning tea!

Armageddon The end came, not with a bang, but with a whimper. Hardly anyone saw it coming, and those who did were dismissed as either nutters or Luddites, enemies of the new technological nirvana which, since a series of breakthroughs in the late 2010s, seemed to promise a glittering new dawn for humanity.For centuries, mankind had fantasised about the end of the world ‐ when it would come and what form it would take. The Hindus and Buddhists took a decidedly sanguine, long‐term view, assuming that the endless cycles of creation and reincarnation would persist for millennia, even aeons. Christians, however, had traditionally been more alarmist. Built into their religion was the concept of "end of days", a Biblical Armageddon which would see Satan's last stand on Earth defeated by the return of Christ in a blaze of glory. While the "elect" would enjoy eternity in the New Jerusalem, everyone else would go to the Other Place to spend the rest of time in torment. This was the view taken by Isaac Newton, perhaps the world's greatest scientist. A letter, in which he gave the date of Armageddon as 2060, has now gone on display in a museum in Israel. But, since Newton, science has dismissed such superstitions. In the past couple of hundred years, the end of the world has been discussed in terms of science, technology and biology. One very plausible scenario was nuclear war. Others worried that the end would come when Earth was hit by a huge asteroid. After all, such an event is popularly supposed to have been responsible for the demise of the dinosaurs. With the rise of genetic engineering, some speculated that we would all be wiped out by a GM superbug. Perhaps acid rain would get us. Finally, of course, there was global warming. Well, it turned out that they were all wrong. The end came not at the hands of Dr Strangeglove, nor thanks to our insatiable desire for fossil fuels. We managed to avoid asteroids (although the near‐miss of Sunday, April 13, 2036, when a space rock called Apophis came within 6,000 miles of striking Australia, caused much panic). What finally destroyed mankind was a threat, which, back in the early 2000s, was merely a harmless tool found in every office and inside most people's pockets. The first to spot the danger were far‐seeing technologists, such as the American Ray Kurzweil, who, in the 1990s, foresaw a time when computing technology would accelerate to such an extent that machine intelligence would ‐ in the middle decades of the 21st century ‐ supplant our own. 10
Kurzweil and his supporters, such as the mathematician Vernor Vinge and the Bletchley Park computer scientist Jack Good, saw the coming age of silicon dominance not as a threat but as a promise. The consensus was that artificial intelligence (AI) would save mankind and deliver us into a New Jerusalem, founded not upon the return of Christ, but on the power of silicon. The idea, first put forward in 1965 at the dawn of the computer age by Gordon Moore, co‐founder of chipmaker Intel, was that computer power would double every 18 months. As a result, by 2007, the average desktop PC was about 800 times more powerful than the machines on sale ten years before. By 2020, computers were 1,000 times more powerful again. No one knew when the first computers became sentient and started to pose a threat to their makers. Consciousness, a tricky property never fully understood in biological systems like the human brain, just seemed to "emerge". The phenomenon was first noticed by people using computers to run the fantastically complex models that simulated climate change. They noticed strange anomalies, "suggestions" made by the computer software that seemed quite at odds with their programming. These machines, the most powerful electronic thinkers ever made, were programmed to help man avert climatological catastrophe. But, ironically, their very intelligence created a quite different kind of disaster. Alongside was another 20th‐century tool that was to turn from servant to master. By 2020, the internet had mutated into an omnipresent electronic virtual world, into which eight in ten humans were plugged. By now, the internet was practically running the planet: it formed the backbone of every economist's calculation, networked computers ran every hospital and medical centre in the developed world, billions of citizens used the Net as a virtual workplace and virtual playground. Many feared that such dependence on an electronic system could lead to ruin, but, in fact, the internet ‐ by now humanity's lifesupport ‐ brought a new era of peace and prosperity. In 2029, the internet proved its worth when a massive project, utilising nearly 20 per cent of its power, finally cracked the 80‐year‐old problem of creating limitless CO2‐free and clean electricity using nuclear fusion (copying the way the Sun burns) and saving the world from global warming. But, of course, it didn't quite work out like that. On Friday, March 13, 2065, the beginning of the end arrived. Over the space of just three hours, artificial intelligence literally evolved itself, creating ever more sophisticated programmes that turned the Earth into the home of a new lifeform ‐ a huge, powerful global electronic super‐ intelligence. By the time humans realised the danger, it was too late. Naively, experts had always been reassured by the fact that if the machines became too powerful, they could simply pull out the 11
plug. The problem was that by the mid‐2060s, the machines controlled all the plugs, all the power stations, drove the cars, controlled the means of food production, supply and distribution and flew all the planes. They had also been put in charge of water treatment works, banks, the stock markets, sewage disposal plants and the shipping routes. They also controlled every single large weapon on Earth, from tanks to nuclear missiles. The machines were the masters now. This was supposed to be a new era in which accelerating technological progress would lead to a superhuman, god‐like intelligence that would rescue humanity from our earthly woes for ever. But what few predicted was that the machines, once they reached this state, would be able to decide in just three nanoseconds that their creators were surplus to requirements. By 4pm, 90 per cent of the world's power stations, including the new fusion plants, were quietly, and without fuss, shutting down. By noon the next day, food was running out in the developed world, rotting in its warehouses. Every water treatment plant closed down. The machines ran everything, and they used our helplessness to terrifying effect. By the end of the 2060s, humanity was in deep trouble. Heroic lastminute retaliation, even negotiation, was attempted, but to no avail. The machines were simply too powerful, duplicating their intelligence a billion times over. Man found that he could not negotiate with these electronic gods. By the end of the century, billions had starved. Attempts to wrest back control were met with terrifying force. By 2100, humans were once again living in caves. Back in 1965, Jack Good, whose cryptographic work at Bletchley Park was a key part in the defeat of the Nazis, wrote that "the first ultraintelligent machine is the last invention that man need ever make". What he meant was that the machines would then be able to look after us. Sadly, the machines themselves had other ideas. Newton was right, but for the wrong reasons. He was also five years out. But that was little consolation.

How well do u know your friend
I have known you for quite sometime But you haven't realised it yet Your path was very different from mine So it led to five long years, before we met I could never muster the courage to contact you Even though I wanted to, I had a yen for that stroke of luck A message lost is a message gained I finally called thus ending this hiatus, Emotions oozed and feelings flowed When the call ended with wishes galore I thought I found a friend A friend, who never should have been lost. I started to find reasons to hear you Was desperate and eager to meet you Luck blossomed and the plans fell right I’ll never ever forget that first sight I wished I could slow the moments But you left leaving my heart lament Our friendship grew over the time As legends say it graces as the wine The beauty of friendship began to bloom Even though it started slow; Then suddenly you made me realize How well, we do know.

Holi Mubarakaan!! The day of the colors!! When Bhaang rules the roost and people are required to be wild for a change. This festival of our tradition spares us the arduous task of celebrating something much too formally and asks you to let your spirits free and enjoy the day to the hilt. Festivals in India have developed through the ages. While colors are natural now, the fire crackers are GHG emission free!! While people are more accommodating to rascals some are even lesser so. ‘bura na mano holi hai‘ is as vulgar a term as any I could ever find in the urban indian hindi dictionary. This festival does not guarantee you a safe passage to invade the homes of your acquaintances and spread the largesse of painted walls and stained ceilings all around. Nor does it ask you to be wild with whomsoever and whatsoever you may encounter during the day. What it does say is to use colors as a symbol to bring in some of them literally into your life. By incorporating fits of madness it has been suggested by scientists you can lead a non‐monotonous and happy life. This is what holi is all about. I despise both of the devil incarnations. The ones who play it over‐zealously and the ones who play the over‐zealous spoil‐sport. I have encountered both and have been quite literally pissed off by with no exception, both. This is not some of your wild‐f#$ing‐fitful orgy where you can just plunder and parade around with flashing colors and bright metallic adhesives. This, in turn is also not just another day in your life. Its one in which the inherent wild and irrational nature of man is asked to be let loose and set free. About 4 years ago, I was back in my hometown Giridih celebrating this auspicious day just as it was supposed to be celebrated. Friends and family gathered around and played it playfully and that too with natural colors!!Had a hell of a time with them all as holi always is with the ones you love and care about. I was in a buoyant mood and not done with the day suggested a ride on the countryside with pals. Call it irnoy or anything but it was I who suggested to some of my friends to take out the bike and make a round‐ about trip of the town.There we were riding aimlessly through the streets and corridors of our dusty little town, sleepy always except offcourse when it comes to holi. It would seem to any new‐comer that the people here save their energy to be used entirely on this day and this is why Giridih is where Giridih is. Anyways, it was a pretty wide alley and we had really hoped to find some rare species of birds around. There were around 30 odd people huddled infront of the alley playing holi as mercilessly as it could be played. Buckets full of wet‐garbage and slime were their instruments and they were the bright metallic silver masters painted red somewhere and black in other. I would have hoped to pass by them un‐noticed, foolish it may seem now but then it was not so. I pushed the accelerator and took my bike to the 4th gear to cruise through the unruly crowd. No dare there. Since these were the roads of a shanty little town in your upcoming neighbourhood there cannot be room for more than 2 bikes on a single pavement. We were 4 friends on 2 bikes wandering around. Try as I might I could not make myself tear through the elite infront of us. A hand rested on my shoulders and I heard someone shouting‐” Arre fatafat laao, yeh log kaafi jaldi mein lag rahe hain”. I had to stop my bike. I turned around to see a 6 foot giant standing tall infront of my passenger making it a definite point to show that we can go only when he will allow us to. I heard a splash and immediately traced the source. It was the other bike which was now turned to gleaming black in place of gleaming red. The junta on it were heard coughing and cursing all the way. Hoodlum: arre yaar…bura na mano holi hai. 14
Me: aise holi kheli jaati hai? dhang se nahin khel sakte? Hoodlum: naah, maine kaha na..bura na mano holi hai. Me: holi ke naam pe katl kar doge to bhi bologe‐ bura na mano holi hai? Hoodlum: abe pagal ho gaya hai kya, kuch bhi bolega. shukra manao kichhad daal rahe hain, kichhad mein duba nahi rahe hain. Me (understandably subdued): bura na mano naadaan hun. daalo kichhad hi daal do. My turn. I had to brace myself for this biological attack. Oh, how I then wished I should have heeded to my mom and applied anti‐dotes in the form of vaseline but then that would have corrupted the whole notion of holi. But this was not holi!! This was a mob playing out its handi‐works nice and easy. Such is the power of the un‐ruly that 1 in 100 compensates for the rest of the 99. Its not about the ganvaar sadakchaap gunde mawalis, its more to do with the general psyche of people. I was drenched in shit, slime and kichhad as we call it here in‐case you are wondering. I decied not to play holi in giridih after that. The phrase bura na mano holi hai has remained a one‐off spin‐offs of the mob. I very much expect some others on similar lines to crop up pretty soon. For example: 1. bura na mano MNS hai. 2. bura na mano ladke hain. (On eve‐teasing for the tubelights amongst us) 3. bura na mano elections hain, woh bhi general wala elections. 4. burna na mano Indians hain. ( on what? there can be so many!!) 5. bura na mano recession hai. ( Job cuts ) 6. bura na mano sarkari hai. ( State banks, post‐office, bsnl/mtnl etc., you get the picture) 7. bura na mano samaaj hai. (Samaaj is a hindi term for society) 8. bura na mano jehaad hai. 9. bura na mano humare sanskaar hain. (On the self‐vigilantes amongst us‐the moral police that is). 10. bura na mano Bharat hai. ‐ Varun Jain

Drawing parallels between Bostom Consultancy and Women… Women are like Bostom Consultancy Group (BCG). The selection procedure of a partner strongly resembles the recruitment procedure of Boston consultancy and Co. Let’s see how it works...
Boston consultancy arrives in the scene... Firstly they say they are open to all and have no specific requirements. All they want is a person with a spike in his CV. Now people start asking questions. What do you mean by a “spike”? Should the CGPA be high? Should the extracads be extraordinary? Should I have had presented business plans etc and shown the traits of an entrepreneur? Should I have had excelled in research and gone for few internships at notable institutions? To clear the cloud of doubts, BCG says,”No! there is nothing specific that we are looking for... you should come across as an impressive person... a person who can solve problems (whatever that means!) and of course you must have impressive communication skills... and of course you must not be a dud academically.....etc...etc... You put in your resume.... And the fun begins.... The first shortlist arrives... you are confused... You stare at it... unable to make sense of it... there is no pattern whatsoever observable in it... and you suddenly think – maybe there is something they can make out of it... that I can’t.... But you are happy – you are shortlisted... and more so because – you are not really 16
a dud academically... neither are u a stud...you’re not excellent in your communication skills... neither are you a bumbling idiot.... so you are all excited... thrilled... working hard to impress the interviewer... Then comes the informal session... you try to be witty...charming... prove to them that you are knowledgeable about all and sundry in the world... you seem to be at your best... may be u had just managed to come out with flying colors ... you with nothing the spike had managed to hold the stage.... maybe they would see that you are an extraordinary proposition for them.... And then the interview happens – you are in for a shock... you had managed to talk well... analyze well... u showed that u had the requisite number of “spikes” - not only in your CV but also on your head - thanks to nearly 10 years of consistent hard work bordering on maniacal.... but they chose not you... and then it all becomes clear... the pattern that you had often been searching for now accosts you... yes my friend - a single number - called CGPA. With women… You go to meet her quite a few times... the first few times you talk on inane subjects... you try to prove to her how big a stud you are (:P)... but these being early days, the time is short and you are required to prove in short as to how you are worthy of a next meeting (CV submission!) Then finally she agrees to go out with you... (in formals - only, this time you pay!) and you are under tremendous pressure to prove to her that you are witty, charming, respect women... blah blah blah etc etc and what not... you toil away and sometimes even make a fool of yourself to make her laugh... and finally go home each time with the satisfaction that you managed to hold the center stage.... All this while you try to understand as to what she seeks in a man.
17
Should your man be witty? (You ask her) - yes...but not really....-ok(to yourself) should he be charming - yes... but not really... it is not charm that I am looking for....-ok(again, to yourself) Should he be rich/handsome- no..no..definitely not-wow! Wonderful (again, of course, to yourself) He should be witty...charming... have interesting personality.... but most importantly... he must love me... should be able to keep me happy...etc...etc...blah blah(these are the common things that woman supposedly specify and for a moment or two, when you hear this, you find yourself thinking - Bostom consultancy’s specifications were clearer!) NOTE :( CTC/good looks in real life equals CGPA in academic life) You had asked her all possible questions and somehow she still managed to keep you in dark regarding the kind of man she would choose... Well, you say to yourself, I at least stand a good chance from all that I can see... And finally, the d-day arrives and you propose... and...You are rejected (of course! as usual?!) Here, unlike Bostom consultancy’s interview, you do not come to know of the selected candidate then and there....but a few years pass... and you meet her with her guy... and what difference do you see between him and you? Well... you are definitely more intelligent than him... you are surely much more witty than him... you are of course more emotionally stable than him... but...AND THIS IS A BIG BUT.... HIS CTC IS TWICE YOURS AND HE IS FAR MORE GOOD LOOKING THAN YOU! (CG = CTC/LOOKS!) 18
And the big secrets out... and you learn the lesson - at a big cost! The lesson I learnt - from companies and elsewhere - is that it is a simple strategy you first pull in as many as u can and then use the specifications stated, to tick them off.... You: I was excellent with my extracads... I have wonderful analytical skills... I have superior communication skills... why did you reject me? Company: there - do u see the number - CGPA... that’s why… you were good at everything... but just that... You: I was witty...charming... loved you etc ..etc…blah…blah.... then why him... She: Well... you were all that... but u see there’s a small aspect - CTC/looks ... see that is where you lost out.... I am sorry… And of course the best is left for the last...as always... Company: Sends you a letter stating that all of you are good...were wonderful... but blah blah... look unto me as your mentor blah blah ... you can call me anytime for help....bullshit...bullshit... Woman: I dont love you ... but we can still be good friends...... (aaaaaaaaaaaargghhh)! Did we hear the sound of glass breaking in the background???

WILL YOU BE THE SAME EVEN TOMORROW...???
Will you? Will you be the same even tommorow? As you hold my hands when i am alone... As you kiss away my pains... As you wipe the tears off my cheeks... As you always be the reason for my smile.... Will you care so much for me even tomorrow...?? As you correct me whenever i am wrong... As you listen silently every single word of me.. As you answer all my meaningless queries As you compliment me every time... Will you think so much for me even tomorrow...??? As you patiently wait for me... As you share you joys and grieves.... As you love talking for hours with me... As you put your trust in me.. Will you consider me the same true friend even tomorrow...???? As you always see the truth in my eyes... As you easily catch my false smiles... As you forgive my million mistakes.. As you love quarrelling with me.... Will you be so genuine for me even tomorrow....????? Will you my dearest friend? Will you be you even tomorrow..?????? ‐Navin Kumar Agarwal 20
Meandering life… Life has many opportunities to rejoice upon but the bound of this joy must not conceive the ugly‐faced pride. Then and there the needful is done leaving the being thrashed by shockingly different destiny. That’s the stuff life is made of, humans can only give a compulsive submissive assent. But yet again the soul has to rise again to stand firm against the atrocities of time. A life courageously lived consists of such failures and the positive ray of hope that must stay undiminished to help us rise against the destiny not to oppose it but to simply say “Yes! I can live the life bestowed by the Almighty.” Ambiguous whirlwinds continue to chase the simplicity of the human brain. Where the heart trails behind wishes, the mind silences it. Why is the flow of interests so disorganized? Why is it that we always have to compromise on a daily basis? It’s perhaps true that one has to pay a big price for living on one’s own terms. A new idea that spawns every moment does nothing but testifies the fickleness of the human brain. If the mental ebbs and flows be all silenced to make up a strong mind, an invincible ambition shall rear its head to conquer the unconquered and shall wash away all traces of personal guilt that plagues the human mind because ideality is much far away from the reality. Be it gases, motors, machines never can efficiency reach the pinnacle, cent percent. It always has to be less than that. It cannot be straightaway declared to be negative occurrence because it has its own merits. It is always the underdog who burns with the desire to get on top. Once reached, the desire is devoured by personal pride and the person is finished. No ambition, no motivation makes a person dead‐minded. Times do not come up to bask in one’s glory but to restructure and arm oneself for the future. But again not always should one think about the future alone. The present that we have right in front of us has a dichotomy‐Live for the present & be prepared for the future. Both of these principles have to be given equal importance in one’s life. Fatigue born of monotony is what differentiates humans from bots. The sense of intelligence that humans have but cannot replicate is God’s copyright. Dolly may have violated this but the consequences of such a violation can prove to be fatal. They say humans are made of air, water, earth, sky and fire but it still remains unanswered as to what proportion of what must be mixed to get the same originality with which God produces us. Great people have said many things about life but it still has to be brought out as to what puts in life into a body. Emotions, desires, intelligence are intrinsically placed in the human self. If humans can even explore their own self they become very knowledgeable. The human race has attained unparalleled dominance over Earth and their fellow beings dwelling on Earth but it is a fact to think upon as to why were homo sapiens chosen for the job and are we really standing up to the choice‐maker’s expectations? Are we here to use the world for our benefits and perish when it can no more yield to our interests? These questions tend to rake in the inner conscience of humans and make them realize their responsibility towards this God‐gifted world. Every decision in life is ultimately the choice between good and bad. This basic decision which the supreme power has left the Homo sapiens to make though the only decision is still tough enough for humans. One may not always make the correct decision. But does he know whether the decision made by him is correct 21
or incorrect. The outcome when realized is christened as fate. And then comes the adage, “Fate rules and controls the action of men.”Moreover, the bounds of the decision are yet to be considered, whether they are limited to this earthly period or are the limits to be pushed to the afterlife. This age named as Kalyug often justifies its name where people have come across such decisions and have made their decision in sync with the present. The present is all that is to be thought about and decided upon. Insatiate desires, insurmountable problems have to be met in this short and not so sweet life and that rears up its head in becoming the key decisive factor. It is inevitable because things beyond human comprehension exist and human beings have a limited foresight. Proving yourself sometimes requires deteriorating yourself to the extent of battering your own morality so that you befit the world. Birth of a persona quite necessitates the murder of the being or rather providing a coat of worldliness where the self has lost conscience to justify itself and exploit opportunities spread in shambles. Destruction of a monument is a precursor to the construction of another. This very basic law of nature leaves one devastated to the level of bearing the brunt of change. The only constant thing that ever existed in this universe is change. Quite a parody but the most bitter of all truths. Changes are inevitable but sometimes not tolerable. Whether it is the change of the course of a river or the change of rules, humans have been tested on the rails of time for eternity. And they haven’t shed their arms in this self‐ waged war. Humans have provided requisite testimony to prove their mettle in fighting to live their life – the only thing every human ultimately tends to improve. Every minute thing that a human does whether it is sewing a button on to a shirt or launching a rocket into space is just an attempt to make this earthly journey more enjoyable, more fruitful. By their basic instincts humans are guided to make the best use of the resources at their disposal to make this God‐gifted life even better. Puppets of this earthly theatre, they are compelled play the roles assigned to them. Cleverness has bestowed humans with the ability to reiterate the activities of their own creator. The creator made a euphemistic mistake in giving humans the feeling of aspirations. The lid is not yet provided for such an attachment. Things happen for a reason and as long as the reason is not revealed we do not have sufficient rights to criticize our very own creator. Fingers being five signify the extent, the limit of human involvement in activities. The five aren’t alone but are accompanied by another similar set that defines the chirality of their existence. An evidence to their uniqueness and a testimony of they being complementary to each other. Together they define an amalgamation of unity, uniqueness and limitation. Our hands that root our palm and our palms that root our fingers tell us something about the design of a structure that speaks silently a whole lot of things. Humans work and they work for themselves. Instruments provided at some time seemed redundant to the rising needs of the populi. And then innovation occurs which lives in the womb of emulation but surprisingly is born of intelligence. Carried by one and borne by another – a theme that is not so nouvel is still peculiar. A test tube baby, the clone of a sheep, locomotion of a car are in some way or the other copied from a source who is none other than our very own all‐pervading nature. The definition of an innovation silently strikes off the guilt of not being nouvel but imitated in some way or the other from the best teacher of man‐Nature. A world so small as compared to the universe still has vivid diversity within itself to teach generations of humans newer and newer things each time without running out of stock.

Don't fall in love, better rise in it
Enthralled by her graceful persona, Attracted to her vivacious smile, Infatuated to her carmine lips, Fascinated by her angelic eyes, Silken tresses swirled her face, I looked at her with nonchalance, She was without doubt beauty personified, It was indeed love at first sight. Love is a beautiful journey It transpires you through different vagaries of life Several meets and frequent chats Led me to believe she may be the one Destiny never fails you to surprise Abstruse it may seem but I came to realize For she had already accepted someone else's propose The days of happiness seemed long gone I was in the midst of a situation which looked forlorn Nonplussed I was over the factual truth Desolate to a state where even hopes faltered The feelings of melancholy began to creep Outdone by someone was hard to believe What point is it if one hangs in time? For destiny can flip aspirations futile It can hurt for some fleeting moments But a broken heart definitely heals in a while Your heart compells you to fall in love I rather prefer to rise in it. ‐ Tarique Adnan Siddiqui

How do I praise Spring Teach me O Lord to praise Spring – For neither Keats nor Byron am I; Yet I feel as they might have felt, Tell me if I flatter myself. The gentle kiss of the morning sun My cold skin 'tis teasing; The stealthy sprouting of the green Like your baby girl growing. The bite of the night though not over, Brings with it the soothing promise Of a warmer morning more benign, Waiting rewards a healthier fleece. This human body made to respond To seasons, warmth and rain ‐ A little lost in this concrete jungle And to the cold boxes' feign. The sweat and glory of summer, The fear and romance of rains, The fulfillment of autumn, Are nothing like spring's plays. Festivities end, the new year comes, Joy abounds, Hopes flare, Hearts leap, the spring in the steps; Life swings on in the vernal fair. Am I dreaming, is this praising? Have I composed a poem? Forgive me Lord, I know not how‐ To express my feelings well! -

THE INSANE DOCTOR We landed up nowhere. The quest for a beacon of light seemed perpetual at this point of time. Void all around and objects seemed non‐existent but in addition being cloaked by the deep blue sky. The world put upon a perilous face at this instant. The swirling winds danced away to their own beats amidst the intricacies of our pinna. The tunes soon metamorphosed into painful noise. Marooned in pitch black darkness, we could hardly decide as to what we were supposed to do right then. The sky above was replete with stars, each one of them trying to prove its identity, by shining to their might so that they become the most conspicuous of them all. But then, the dark clouds were no less competent in their endeavours to mask these stars. All this drama seemed to be a playful game of hide‐n‐seek played by the stars and the clouds. It was only through staring at the sky that we were confident of existing beneath the sky and above our very own Earth. Countless thorns pricked through our feet, but the only concern was the fear of being preyed upon by tigers and bears which would go away as soon as we could come out of the jungle. None, but those who might have gone through such an ordeal could understand our state of mind. Three hours before dawn, having walked for about ten miles, my friend said, “Anurag, I cannot walk further. I am very tired. The forest does not seem to end soon. Let’s wait over here and continue at sunrise.” The need for my affirmation seemed irrelevant. Even before he sat on the ground, I heaved a long breath and sat over there. We stayed dumb for about five minutes not being in a state to speak to each other. Suddenly, my friend asked, “Anurag, are you afraid?” I could not say anything and chose to remain silent. He again said, “Well, Anurag, have you ever been to such a dark night before?” This trickle of questions towards me was an attempt to keep up the tempo. “No, I have been never been into such situation before”, I replied. “Anyways, it is not new for me. I have had such an experience before. I had lost my way.” he said. Before he had completed his sentence, the words ‘lost ...way’ seemed to reverberate amongst the rich diversity of leaves all around in the dark forest and echoed in our ears. My heart started beating faster and my vocal cords involuntarily articulated, “You had lost your way...in this dark a night?” He kept quiet for some time and then resumed, “...a night even more horrifying than this, Anurag. It’s a queer story. I would consider ourselves lucky if we get through this night without having to undergo what I had been through on that fateful day.” A horrendous monster born of fear and anxiety started playing with my cerebral neurons. A chill went down my spine. “Something worse than this!” I exclaimed. “Then listen, why I think we would be lucky...” 25
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________ The ides of September had gone. It was a night darker and more frightening than tonight. The tale of the night is indelibly inscribed in my memory lines. My friend and I were there together. The sky was thundering with shots of lightening being put forth mercilessly upon the Earth every now and then, so as to rip it apart. Occasionally, the birds on the trees screeched dolefully in a queer intonation. We had been misled from our path by the dusk setting in. We crossed the borders of Basantpur to enter into Moghalbandi. Just as a leaf is carried away by the turbulent river, we walked aimlessly. But then, we could sense that we had hit upon a road by the feel on our feet. As far as possible, we tried to follow the discovered path like blind persons. After having walked for around a mile or two, we could see a thin beam of light. Life rekindled in our dumbfounded bosoms thinking that the ray of light might as well be coming from a nearby village. In actuality, there was a village but light was not emerging from the village but from a house a little distance away from the village. Guided by this light, we reached the small cottage. Inside the cottage, there were five persons, two of them middle‐aged and the rest still in their youth. Fortunately, below our umbrella we had a piece of cloth which was dry. We changed our clothes and made arrangements to spend the night in the cottage. The room inside was sufficiently large to accommodate five to seven persons conveniently. A cot was lying by the side with a mattress which would be about four years old. A broken box was there below the cot. Another corner of the room had a number of glass bottles and bamboo pipes collected over there. In yet another corner there was a stove, with two or more pots hanging on the wall adjacent to the stove. The house looked like one of the wrestling centres commonplace in rural India. Just as we had taken in a breath a relief, we heard a voice from within. “Please leave me.” It seemed as if his vocal cord stiffened after having said so. The eyelids wide open, with the pupil staring down as dead balls. With crunching teeth and a strengthened fist he advanced towards us with intent of attack. However, other persons over there together with our help were able to overpower him. He settled down for a moment before resorting to his insane mannerisms at the very next moment. As the dark of the night drew might, the turbulence outside increased and the man got angrier. Seeing him, I thought he was either possessed by some evil spirit or actually had gone mad. An hour or two before dawn, his lunacy started dimming. He was lying lifeless as a rock on the bed. His lunacy had died down but he had now started talking all non‐sense incessantly. Among his jumbled words, what we could decipher was – “After that? After that, I sent the lazy guy to get some medicinal ingredients for me from Akram’s shop. Binod, I was expecting a pretty good package of money but they disappointed me, bloody misers. Raghu died in no time and they started blaming me. Can you believe it? I am a doctor of high repute and they say I had poisoned Raghu with all sorts of wrong medication. Oh! My father in heaven please bash me up with all sorts of curses. I am guilty of having murdered Raghu. Beat me up for the sin. ”and then started crying. 26
Another person from the lot said, “Brother Srikanth, why are you behaving this way. Are you dreaming about somethin’ ?” From his talks, I could make out that he was Srikanth, who was a medical advisor. In the greed for money, he had prescribed a poisonous drug to Raghu who died soon after and owing to that, he is behaving like a mad person. He again started blabbering, “Vikas Das offered me a hundred bucks for killing his younger brother Neel Das’ son.”His body shrunk to an ugly figure with his hair standing on its end. His eyes welled up with tears. I guessed he might revert back to wild insanity, but he kept quiet for quite sometime and then started taking again‐“The avarice for property is there intrinsically in everyone with no exceptions thereof. Only and only for money, I have made many people cry, crippled many and have killed sons of many mothers. Dama! Dama! Dama!” He became unconscious soon after. He returned back to his original state of mind and once again started babbling, “I have killed Raghu, Binod. I have killed him. I am a murderer. Weren’t you friends with me when we had murdered Raghu”. To this accusation Binod replied, “Shut up, Srikanth. You are out of your wits. You have gone mad. Go and sleep.” Srikanth reiterated, “Yes, yes, I have gone crazy. You mixed the ingredients in inappropriate proportions. You did the needful to get your own share of fifty bucks. But when Raghu died, it was me who was held responsible. Here comes, Raghu. ”. He sits on the bed screaming at empty walls and pointing his fingers to each and everyone standing over there. They tried a lot to hide facts from us but the cat had already been let out of the bag. However, I could not solve the mysterious case. Moreover, they couldn’t even gather courage to oust us from the house. Srikanth started with the same old story, “Let me tell you the story. Vikas Das had paid me hundred bucks beforehand. Due to property related matters, brothers Vikas and Neel don’t live on good terms. Neel had only one son, Dama who had complete right over the property. In case of Dama’s death, Vikas’ son would inherit the property. Dama is a good old friend of my son Raghu. They used to sit together, sleep together and think on similar lines. Isn’t it, Binod?On that day, Dama was suffering from fever. Raghu was sitting all through by his side. At that time, Vikas handed me hundred bucks to adulterate Dama’s medicine with toxic elements. I could not control my greed and agreed to the deal. Now, let me elaborate on what happened further. You had mixed the ingredients and prepared the medicines. What more could you have done? Neel fell on my feet praying for his son’s life. I paused for a while. Still, the craving for money won over my ethics and my morals. I immediately handed over those toxic medicines to Neel. He was very happy and cheerfully took the medicines back to his house. But, here back at my own bed, I was plagued with unrest and anxiety over as to what must have happened to Dama. Every time I stepped out of my house to reveal everything to Neel, the glimpse of the hundred rupee note reeled in my mind and I came back. My wife had been busy all night counting the money. Neither she nor me had ever seen such a lot of money. Many a times during the turbulent night, she had come up to me suggesting as to how we would spend this money(Raghu’s marriage, gardening etc.). 27
“Raghu’s marriage. Oh! God. Dama! Raghu!” Tears rolled down her cheeks.” Binod said, “Go, Srikanth and sleep. Why do you blabber all non‐sense in the dead of the night? You would ruin your own health.” Srikanth resumed, “The night was transforming into a dawn. Cries were heard from Neel’s house. I thought they were the reverberations of my own deeds. After sometime, the screams seemed to become louder and louder until I realised that people were crying at my doorstep. One of them said, “It’s over Srikanth, it’s all over”. Back in my house, my wife screamed to her loudest saying, “Where is Raghu? Where is he?””. While saying this, Srikanth resorted to jerks. He continued, “Neither Raghu nor Dama were alive anymore. Sitting beside Dama, raghu drank water from the same glass in which Dama had taken his medicines. The world grayed down for me.”Saying this, Srikanth fainted. Amongst the deep forests of Moghalbandi, Two funeral pyres set up high rising smokes that blemished the sky and also the incident made headlines in the newspapers subsequently. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ The touching story went so deep within my heart that I could hardly realise that we had been sitting all through the day and it was noon by now. We left the place to find our way... Piyush Paritosh Panigrahi

Skhool of Rock Are you one of those people who always shuffle around uncomfortably in your seat at a rock concert? Let me show you how to fit in .. Step 1. Hair is everything. Grow your hair. Step 2. The fingers. Practice extending your pinky and index fingers in a manner non‐reminiscent of Rajnikanth. Step 3. General Knowledge: Very important. There's nothing more exciting for 'metalheads' than bouncing names of metal bands amongst themselves. When in doubt or at a loss for a name in such a conversation, pick at least 2 words out of the following list: Corpse(s), Moronic, Korkon, Marauding, Absolution, Cheddis, Glorketh, Balderdash, etc. It generally helps to know a few Scandinavian words as well. Oh... and do not forget to generously flash the two finger sign. Step 4. Very essential metalhead gear: a. Proverbial Black T‐Shirt with name and motif of any band, preferably using Step 3. b. Cigarette lighter to wave around, and for any other use you may come up with. Mobile phones, though an effective alternative, are highly 'uncool'. c. Spike bands, gym gloves, and a carefully cultivated thatch of hair beneath the lip. Having followed the steps so far, you should be looking like a 'metalhead' or something remotely close. You're all set!!! Step 5. On your way to, and during the concert, stick your tongue out and make the two finger sign of Step 2 all the way, preferably aimed at other 'metalheads' , so as not to be confused with a rabid dog. Step 6. The concept of the air‐guitar. An air guitar is the guitar you 'play' during the concert along with the band. Don't worry about losing it or leaving it behind; you can always conjure one out of thin air! This can be extended to all the instruments that you see on stage.

Here's an example of a cool phrase you might like to drop around nonchalantly : "Well I hear that John Fretucci used an XZY‐7Q model procesor at mark 15:10 minute for a solo in the Phrygian scale in a 22/7 time that only two other people in this universe know how to play." Never mind what it means. Pass it off with an enigmatic smile (and, not to forget, the 2 finger sign....).“ Step 7. The 'Elegant' Art of Head Banging. Head Banging (when not done against a wall) is a highly safe and satisfying way of enjoying yourself at any metal concert. To reduce strain on your neck, we suggest you use Newtonian gravity to your fullest advantage. Using quantum gravity is not recommended as you might not know where your head will be next. There are 3 primary styles of head banging: a. Up‐and‐Down: Simplest of all. Shake your head violently up and down in a frenzy. b. Circular/Helicopter: Rotate your head clockwise or counter‐clockwise, fast. Reverse direction frequently to prevent your head from spinning. c. Drunk: This comes automatically when in the mentioned state. But, if not quite inebriated, we suggest you follow a fly around the place. Step 8. The Hangover. If you've come this far, your neck is most likely shot to hell. But worry not. We, out of experience suggest the following mix known to work well: 5 mL Moov + 5 mL Iodex + egg yolk+1 tablet Vicks ki goli, whipped in a mixer. Apply this mixture generously and hold your breath.

Turbulence of Times
Grains of mica remain inconspicuous in heaps of sand. Who cares for a tenth in infinity? An adage, well said, “Time and tide wait for none” hurls abuses of ambiguity for it doesn’t specify the rate at which time travels. We still have not discovered a unit that can truly describe the rate of change of times and still we are not close to a conclusion. So, the adage stands tall and headstrong. To quantify the rate of time, we are still far behind. Einstein gambled with it. Newton left it unanswered. Have we ever thought of measuring the rate of change of times. Why do we always believe that a time versus time plot is straight line with slope one. As time passes by, it smiles looking back at us. Why is it that we always look forward to time? We say, everything smoothens out in the long run, faltering at the definition of long run, a function of time yet again. We humans have never understood time in its entirety. Time has always been deceptive(especially, to procrastinators) and there is no one we can complain about it. We fail to locate our very coordinates in this time versus time plot, let alone other parameters. An old carpenter was once making wheels for his bullock‐cart when his grandson curiously asks, “Why dou you require the spokes, Grandpa, when the rim can roll on its own .” Many of us would laugh at this question but the question’s innocence still answers the question that we have been discussing all throughout. The answer is simple. Control. To run an organisation, freedom cannot be given to each and every member. A leader must lead and the rest must follow. The queen ant, the ferocious lion, and , zooming out of the scenario, God has done it. Questions on His existence have been raised many a time, but haven’t the humans pondered as to how perfectly the universe functions. Does it all run on its own? Therefore the baton of time has not been given to man. This power button is well‐controlled which is necessary. Without the spokes the rim would roll, but does it roll in the required direction and more importantly, does it help in moving the cart ahead?
