Scientism to Foster Integration of Power of Science and Might of Technology Prof. P. B. Sharma Ph D (B’ham), FIE, FAero S, FWAPS Vice Chancellor Rajiv Gandhi Technological University Scientism is the enabling scientific horizon on which the power of science is to be integrated with the might of technology which in turn will ensure that the mankind continues to move forward on the path of prosperity and happiness. Scientism creates a human society deep rooted in the scientific ethos and adores scientific values which in turn create a civilized society adhering to the cardinal principles of peace, nonviolence, peaceful co-existence and harmony with nature. India as a nation of highly enthusiastic youth so keenly motivated to engineering and technology education can unleash an era of technology innovation in the country by integrating the power of science with the might of technology, so well nurtured in the environment of Scientism. No wonder the ancient glory of the “Wonder that was India” will then descend on Indian horizon creating fair prosperity and happiness in plenty. India holds a promise to the growth of scientism for the well being of the mankind and for the sustenance of nature.

1.0

Introduction:

Advancements in Science and Technology have been a powerful instrument to propel the growth and development of the modern Agro-Industrial Society ever since the discovery of Laws of Motion by Newton in 1687 and the Advent of Steam Engine by James Watt in 1769. In fact the steam engine developed by James Watt and its later versions of steam locomotives are the perfect examples of integration of the power of science and the might of technology created by the application of the scientific principles to provide to the humanity at large the wheels of growth and development. Likewise the development of motorized airplane of Wright brothers in 1903 and later development of the aerospace industry are yet other marvels of the synergy of science and technology. In the field of communication engineering the Marconi’s discovery of radio signal receiver in 1901 and successive developments of television in 1926 and advances in communication science and technology to the modern day computer assisted communications, Internet technologies and IP telephony all go on to demonstrate that science and technology are to be pursued for the benefit of the mankind, supporting the growth of S&T powered enterprises, creating productive employment in plenty, assuring higher levels of prosperity, sustaining ever increasing levels of quality of life and thus creating excitement in the pursuit of science and technological education, research and innovations.

The modern scientific age right from 17th century onwards has worked largely to the advantage of the human society, yet often creating serious concerns because of misuse of the scientific knowledge and technology applications. However this has much to do with the behavior of man in reaping the rich harvest of prosperity on S&T power and yet mindlessly sacrificing the interest of nature and human society. Well now that the S&T has taken a driving seat in the new knowledge age, it is important to succeed in creating a culture of science, practiced with scientific values and scientific ethos and embedded in the development and applications of technology to create a better tomorrow. This can be effectively done by creating scientism all around to integrate the power of science and the might of technology for the well being of man and to protect the interest of nature.

2.0

Science and Scientism:

Let us examine therefore what science and scientism is all about. The science covers discovering a better and profound understanding of the nature and the creation covering all aspects of human endeavors and cosmic activity. Now that the science has touched the nano- scale examination of the creation, natural as well as man made systems, it should be possible to decode the secret of life and carve out pathways of human endeavors in harmony with nature, creating the much necessary enabling environment for a sustained advancement of human society. Scientism, on the other hand is concerned with the creation of a culture of scientific thinking, application of mind to the available information using scientific tools of decision making at all levels and still sustaining high interest in exploring better ways of doing the same work more efficiently and with a better care for the society and mother nature. Scientism therefore is the enabling scientific horizon on which the power of science is to be integrated with the might of technology which in turn will ensure that the mankind continues to move forward on the path of prosperity and happiness. Scientism creates a human society deep rooted in the scientific ethos and adores scientific values which in turn create a civilized society adoring the cardinal principles of peace, nonviolence, peaceful co-existence and harmony with nature. In the context of integrating the power of science with might of technology, scientism holds a promising line of approach to ensure the peace, prosperity and happiness is created in plenty in the new knowledge age. Scientism thus integrates scientists, technologists, medical scientists, biologists, social scientists and every single individual and groups closely associated in the pursuit of science for the well being of society and Mother Nature.

3.0

Basic Purpose of Education: In the context of scientism, it is important to realize that the basic purpose of education is to create not only a literate society but a civilized society inhabited by men and women of knowledge and capabilities of nurturing this magnificent creation by their thoughts, deeds and actions.

Creating people of competence and caliber having an un-clenching faith in the dignity of man, in the high ideals of humanity i.e. peaceful co-existence, strict adherence to truth and non violence. Constantly engaging into discovering the Truth, the true knowledge of creation and thus pave the way for raising the man to the level of divinity. Education thus goes beyond the domain of knowledge and covers conduct and behavior which form the essentials of the attitude and character of man. In the true Vedic system of education the founding fathers of education system in India have ensured that educational systems ensure that knowledge, conduct and behavior are all nurtured together so that the man of knowledge in true sense serve the society with utmost humility and strive to achieve harmony with nature in theirs chosen activities, in fact live life full of bliss of divinity, creating everlasting peace and happiness.

4.0

S&T Education: S&T Education is all about equipping man with an attitude, a state of mind tuned to keenness of observation, unfailing analysis of the available facts and to filter the truth from untruth even under complex situations and phenomena. S&T Education is to equip and empower people with capabilities to scale the impossible, equip people with infinite capabilities and highly specialized skills to assure sustained and continuous improvements in the quality of life, maintain ecological balance and to find tangible solutions to the formidable problems including conquering death and mortality. “Saha noh yasha, saha noh Brahmbarchasam”, as the Tatreya Upnishad says. S&T education is also to create fair prosperity and happiness in plenty, and not unfair prosperity and unhappiness which we see around these days in many quarters of the world.

Scientism shall ensure the emergence of a new world order where science and scientific thinking shall create a fair and just society, adoring high levels of prosperity and spiritual enlightenment together. The Wonder that was India, which to date remains both a mystery as well as an excitement; the Golden Eagle of the East was also the Kashi of Spiritual Enlightenment which bridged the gap between man and divine. Just imagine a tailor made Sita taking birth as a test tube baby during Ramayana times, tailor made 5 Pandavas including Bhima having the power of 100 elephants! And 100 sons of Kunti, the Kauravas of the Mahabharata times, Sanjaya communicating to the blind king Dharatrastra the narration of the minute to minute happenings of the Mahabharata war and that too without the modern microwave/satellite communication system are the glimpses of India' s rich scientific heritage which still are a formidable challenge to the modern scientists and technologists. May be now that the pace of scientific discovery and technology innovations has accelerated the scientific explorations to encompass the realms of earlier considered supra natural, it should be possible for the scientific man to touch the horizons of prajnana, which shall equip man with infinite capabilities and specialized skills of the Vedic times.

India’s Emergence as a Knowledge Super Power:

Emergence of India as a Knowledge Superpower in the recent years is now being well acknowledged around the globe. All this could be possible primarily because of significant growth of science and technology institutions established in the country during the last 4 decades, more so during the last 15 years, which have provided the much needed capacity for the development of human capital to propel the growth of knowledge industries both at home as well as abroad. India with its IISc, 7 IITs, 4 IIITs, 20 NITs and a good number of world-renowned engineering and technology institutions such as Delhi College of Engineering, BITS Pilani, Anna University, Jadavpur University, Bengal Engineering College, now Bengal University of Science and Technology, Punjab Engineering College, Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, PSG College of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore, etc. have enabled India to create a niche advancement in manpower development to meet the current demand of engineering manpower for the industries at home and abroad. Indian engineering graduates have found high acceptability in MNCs and in the industries and organizations in the developed countries. In fact, the world renowned IT organizations such as Microsoft, Intel, AMD, Oracle, CISCO and others have utilized the geniuses of Indian engineering graduates to propel technology innovations and product development. Further, R&D organizations and Research Centres set up in India both by Indian and foreign companies continue to attract engineering and technology graduates from Indian institutions. This goes to demonstrate that India has emerged as a major hub to propel technology innovations in the knowledge intensive industries. In the strategic defense sector, Indian engineers have already demonstrated their capabilities of technology innovations which have enabled India to attain near self-sufficiency for its strategic defense programmes.

6.0

Science and Engineering in the Knowledge Age:

In the present era where knowledge reigns supreme, it is important to recognize that the development of a country is propelled by the power of scientific and technological innovations and is driven by the growth of knowledge intensive industrial environment. In this context, the focus on technology innovation, product innovation and process improvement leading to improved energy efficiency and reduction in environmental impact has assumed a much greater importance. Further, the power of connectivity unleashed by modern networked systems of communication has further created the enabling environment to accelerate product innovations by significantly cutting down the technology and product cycle. New horizons of design engineering based on life cycle assessment basis of design have enabled the growth of an integral approach to design for manufacturing, design for environment, design for maintainability, and design for recycle and reuse. These developments on the design fronts when coupled with the advances in the manufacturing systems such as e-manufacturing and concurrent engineering have enabled to compress the total product cycle to unprecedented levels of human imaginations. Rapid pace of scientific advancements and technology innovations leading to the development of new, smart and intelligent and tailor made materials are bound to accelerate the pace of technology and product innovations in the coming years.

India with its vast technical education system can respond to this growing demand for technology and product innovation provided it succeeds in nurturing scientism to harness the power of science and its integration with the might of technology created and sustained by the innovative genius of man. It is heartening to note that the knowledge industries around the world are making India a destination for outsourcing the knowledge services including R&D, software development and IT-enabled services. More recently, the emergence of Knowledge Process Outsourcing, KPOs, has resulted into the growth of KPOs in India. This is a highly welcome development for India’s technical education system. The emergence of KPOs is further strengthened by the establishment of design centres and research and development centres by leading MNCs for the development of new technology and innovated products. Many leading IT companies are setting up their product development centres in the country. As such it is absolutely essential that the technology innovation and product development becomes one of the major focus areas in the technical institutions and universities in the country. Scientism shall foster the culture of innovations backed by scientific quest to transform India into a global Knowledge super power. On the other hand in the absence of scientism, we shall continue to face the problem of research integrity and loss of scientific credibility to our S&T efforts.

Focus Areas for Technology Innovations:

Let me finish by listing a few important areas of national priority for technology innovations in the Indian context which essentially require nurturing an enabling environment for integrating the power of science and the might of technology. These are related to: 1. Providing energy security-a significant increase in installed capacity, reduction in T&D losses, energy conversation devices and programs and technology break- through for making renewable energy economically viable. Green and Clean Energy Technology innovations can provide solutions to India’s energy needs. India is expected to meet its demand of installed capacity of 3,50,000 MW by 2015. The current capacity is around 1,28,000 MW, largely from coal and gas fired plants. 2. Environmental Sustainability is yet another important area where technology innovations could provide solutions to monumental problems of drinking water scarcity, waste disposal, treatment of industrial affluent and de-pollution of rivers and water bodies, the life line of India’s human habitat. 3. Information security is yet another area where technology innovations shall play an important role. Communication revolution is already sweeping India with the power of wired and Wi-Fi systems. This will have a phenomenal impact on our infrastructure sector including transportation where IT-enabled Transportation System, ITES, shall help improve congestion besides ensuring energy efficiency and reduction of pollution levels. This could further be strengthened by technology innovations in the areas of photonics and

nanotechnology equipping India with invincible Info and Knowledge networks. 4. Health care is an area where science and technology innovations could make good health care for all a reality. Tele medicine, Tele diagnostics, innovated drug delivery systems, bio-sciences and genetic research are going to unfold hitherto un-imagined horizons supporting a healthy life affordable to a common man. The success in this area however will also depend upon achieving energy security and environmental sustainability. 5. Strategic defense is an area where technology innovations provide a major fillip, whether it is the capability of surveillance or the fire power. An integration of information technology, satellite communication, radar engineering, explosive engineering, chemical technology, material science and recently bio-science is involved in strategic defense programs. India can highly be benefited from the developments in these core areas of technology in which the country has already created a niche advantage for technology innovations. India could reap rich dividends, specially that its human capital has the capabilities to un-lease technological innovations which besides assuring higher levels of national prosperity will ensure higher levels of national security. The present GDP growth of 8-9 percent has been achieved through a vibrant industry environment including the IT Sector. If we are able to provide uninterrupted supply of electric power to our industries and also to other sectors of economy, the GDP growth will jump to 1012 percent and even more. Technology innovations can help achieving energy security by cutting down enormous waste of electricity in T & D losses, promoting engineering efficiency in electrical devices and systems as also new and viable energy fuels including non-conventional sources. Similarly in the area of technical education leveraging advantage technology assisted by the power of technology innovations can help in significantly improving the quality of education and research and make S&T institutions emerge as the factories of innovations. India as a nation of highly enthusiastic youth so keenly motivated to engineering and technology education can unleash an era of technology innovation in the country by integrating the power of science with the might of technology, so well nurtured in the environment of Scientism. No wonder the ancient glory of the “Wonder that was India” will then descend on Indian horizon creating fair prosperity and happiness in plenty. The journey of mankind from Jnana to Vijnana and then finally to Prajnana shall elevate man to the level of divinity, thus enabling man to visualize the purpose and meaning of life. Scientism thus holds the promise of creating the power of science and its integration with the might of technology for the well being of man and Mother Nature.

Nirvana An Ode to an Angel Long back there used to be a saying, that fairies come and bless us when our near and dear ones are taken far away from us. They bring us their messages, their love and their living from the new world of heaven. Today one amongst us is far away, somewhere sitting and watching all of us. Praying for us and with the wind she sends us her blessings. Her last words are wisdom to us, her last words are priceless. And this is an ode to the fighter within her, the one which did not lose the battle till the end. The one which will be our strength, so that One day We can fight till we win One day We can care till we love One day We forget our differences and be one! Because, together if wish we can… Together, we and you shall. This excerpt is from her last poem “My Interaction with God” “One day, I asked god It is said we are your children and you are our father Then why some people are unhappy and sad God said, I give happiness to all my children But some fail to recognize it. As it comes disguised,

Nirvana

The one who recognizes it, is happy And others are sad all through their life. Then I asked god How can you see your children in pain? God said, Winning horse runs only because of beats and pains Life is a race and I am the rider So if I give you pain I want you to win. Finally I asked god How can we be happy in downs of our life? God said, Remember the happy moments of your life Then all your pain and sadness will subside And keep this thing in your mind Have faith in me And for sure clouds of darkness will go and there will be sunshine. Suchi Shukla (1986-2008) Suchi Shukla was a student of UIT RGTU who battled her illness till her very last. She was diagnosed with kidney failure and underwent dialysis twice a week, while she was pursuing her engineering in the year 2003-2004 and was prescribed complete bed rest by the doctor.. But such was her desire to accomplish her studies that as and when she could deal with her illness she would ask for admission and continue with her degree. Against all odds Suchi fought with determination and strength. She was donated with her mothers' kidney in the year 2006 but as fate unfolded her body rejected the transplanted kidney. Her ambitions were left unaccomplished on January 1st, 2008 after battling for a long time. Dear Suchi, You will always be the sunshine amongst us. Yesterday, today and tomorrow, we will be proud of you. UITRGTU

RGTU shakes hands with RedBerry Corp.

Placement Bonanza @ UITRGTU

Vis-à-vis with the ongoing development and modernization activities at RGTU campus and to be able to share and leverage to the common pool of knowledge available globally in a scattered form, it is desirable to connect its students, faculties, researchers, incubates etc with ones associated with the world's leading institutions. RGTU and Redberry Corporation both have expressed their interests in fostering an era of globally reachable technical education, skill development and research and innovation environment to build a globally acceptable human and technology base for the growth of a global technology society. During the investors meet at Khajuraho in December 2006, RGTU and Redberry Corporation both have entered into an EOI in presence of the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh to partner in the Knowledge Park at RGTU. The proposed RGTU off shore Campus at St Louis is an effort to further strengthen this collaboration and cooperation and mark the beginning of a new era of RGTU as a global technological university. The Redberry Corporation on the other hand already is one of the partners in progress of MP and during the last visit of the Hon'ble CM of MP to USA, has entered into an MoU with the Government of Madhya Pradesh to foster cooperation and collaboration between the two sides.

Miles to go more, yes and that's what exactly UIT, RGTU's new motto speaks. This year our college jump started with the top companies such as Infosys Technologies, TCSL, Eaton Technologies, Persistent Computers. The total count of recruited students has crossed 100.. With such a beginning UIT is surely awaiting many more Core and IT companies to make their visit by the end of this academic . Year

The Redberry corporation being one of the leading knowledge enterprises in USA has shown interest in partnering with RGTU over the RGTU offshore campus at St Louis for which it would provide the initial built up space (Already have 21000 Sq ft. constructed building) and would seed money to the tune of 2.5 million

NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY National conference on wireless technology was organized from 4th to 9th march 2008 by the information technology department of UIT,RGPV. Lectures from eminent personalities were organized along with a day visit to ISRO, Bhopal.Crime branch gave a hands on training on qualnet software.

Energy Park Renovated With a life size statue of Swami Vivekanand adorning the green energy park, the green energy park has a new wind mill with innovative design and a new bio deisel plant. The park also has a fully functional bio-deisel enabled vehicle.

Infinite Frontiers Infinite Frontiers

Infinite Frontiers This was written in March 07 right at the beginning of journey of ambitions, towards making it into the coveted ten. Right then it was just a figment of internal thought…

For Tomorrow I will fly For I know, tomorrow I will fly Making my own V in sky. Measuring the skies with my flight of courage skimming upon the surface of Seas, reflecting the persistence of sea waves into the sky For tomorrow I will fly. Floating and swirling like the winds talking to the winds, where the clouds lay, roaring just beneath the sky For tomorrow I will fly. Rising from the earth, kissing the tips of snow peaks, will rise to the rhythm of eternal promise echoing the sky. For tomorrow I will fly. When the leaves of the autumn shall touch the earth, shedding the pretensions for something that is real forever. the call of love I will wave you back right from the sky For tomorrow I will fly. Light will burst into colors when I will strike it along the ridges of my wing

and you will see it in the sky for tomorrow I will fly. Mountains will watch me for I will be one in the heights Valleys will watch me in diagonals cutting my original Idea across the sky For tomorrow I will fly. I will bounce along the storms hiding and ducking and falling for some moments and then again look at the same sky For tomorrow I will fly In my own way in emblazonment of times suspended and in frozen wait of the unsaid It will rainbow sooner or later in the sky For tomorrow I will fly. I know, The omens are not right The reflection of the past is flawed There are mountains that are higher than the flight And the storms that run faster than me But somehow this is indispensable This flight wants to defy itself. It is not in the nature of flight Even the time contradicts it Yet It wants to hold on, not give up the original idea. daunting as it is to pierce the silence of space And voice over the howling of torrents But it wants to repeat its promise against all the odds and shout it into the sky and scream to the heights that cant even be seen from these lows To kiss away the challenges into the heights that await me in the sky For tomorrow I will fly For I know One thing For tomorrow I will fly. For tomorrow I will fly.

Few golden Swords! “At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom” Thus spoke Jawahar Lal Nehru on the midnight of 14th of august, 1947 when half of the world was fast asleep but India woke up to a new dawn, to that holy morning of a free India. But that was then, when blood was not just an elixir to life it was an elixir to ones conviction, it ran through that fabric of society which was made by not just few mortals but by those who had souls of wisdom, to whom ones conviction was bigger than few green leafs. To them blood was not something to be saved but to be spilled on the faces of those who tortured, convicted the innocent and marred our country with derogation. And now is the time when blood is nothing but mere source of living. After we celebrated 60 odd years of our independence, one is bound to question Where did that passion to fight for freedom vanished? Freedom, not just from oppression but from the rigidity of our minds, freedom, not from the shackles of injustice but from that of corruption and illegitimate bureaucracy, freedom, from not few white men but from the timidity of that insignificant man which is hiding in all of us due to fear and greed. Yes, today after long the toll went on our independence it is time that we wake up to another of a midnight, when half of the world would be asleep but India would awake to a new dawn of freedom in true sense. We all agree that to start a revolution, one must create a revolution within and when I see the youth of today studying into the fields of medical and engineering abusing the strength of words, ridiculing them by making mockery of the so called “kalam ki takat” I feel ashamed. For they are not those who will ever be proud of their own country when for one single instant they could not be tolerant to the silent weapon of writers and journalists. Its not just about few chunks of engineering students, neither it is about those medical students who fake their mark sheets to become professional doctors and end up being quacks. Neither it is about those non-conformists who blast innocent people to the arms of death; true they all have reasons for their behavior. But unfortunately their reason is not to stand for their conviction; rather it is to crush the very existence of it from others, those who have it within! I might be incomprehensible because certain words in this article are forced on few people, but what needs to be understood that there won't be a Gandhi or a Nehru to balance the pillar of strength every time we crash it down. If it has to be build lets start with building our morals first. And then let's change the world! We have seen so many, who have fought relentlessly on the open fields of bullets, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev. We don't need to see beyond the boundaries of our own country, why we don't instigate ourselves from within? If movies like 'Rang De Basanti' can make a difference then I believe we still are made from the same “blood”, of that which demarcates us not by any creed, color, race or religion. They demarcate us from the world for making us Indians. I know, no movie, no inspiration can make us. What can make us is our own self; no piece of land can be named heaven unless one has seen the real one. Start from believing your self, that you and only you can make a difference and if there has to be an inspiration let that be each of us to one another!

Always forgive your enemies but never forget their names.

Infinite Frontiers “A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity.” For the very cause of humanity, let's stop hooliganism, let's stop mob furry, let's no more be dependant on candle lit vigils, let's start being humans strength in itself, let's start today. For we want just few golden swords to win the battle and let one amongst them be you!

Wi-F i Is your mobile wi-fi? My friend asked me.Yes, yes it is very hi-fi…. Not hi-fi dude I meant wi-fi . I was zapped by this term. This was 3 years back but suddenly I started hearing about wi-fi pc's , game consoles , mp3 players etc. Even there is some plan to make RGPV premises Wi-Fi- enabled. I decided enough of ancient living I got to do some research of my own. So, for all of you who are still struggling …………. I'd like to give you something on this new technology.

A Wi-Fi enabled device such as a PC, game console, cell phone, MP3 player or PDA can connect to the Internet when within a hotspot. Wi-fi access points called a hotspot can comprise an area as small as a single room with wirelessopaque walls or as large as many square miles covered by overlapping access points. Wi-Fi technologies have gone through several generations since their inception in 1998. The Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X support Wi-Fi to different extent. Wi-Fi allows LANs to be deployed without cabling for client devices, typically reducing the costs of network deployment and expansion. Spaces where cables cannot be run, such as outdoor areas and historical buildings, can host wireless LANs. The best thing about Wi-Fi technology is that it is a global set of standards. Unlike mobile telephones, any standard Wi-Fi device will work anywhere in the world. Many consumer devices use Wi-Fi. Amongst others, personal computers can network to each other and connect to the Internet, mobile computers can connect to the Internet from any Wi-Fi hotspot, and digital cameras can transfer images wirelessly. So, people isn't Wi-fi cool!! It is no less than a revolution. You don't get zapped by it & keep Wi-Fiing till there is a next revolution…

A hard thing about business is minding your own.

TECH-GYAN

Wi-Fi is a hi-fi technology. In a layman's language it is the connectivity of Internet without cables within the range of a wireless network. Common applications for Wi-Fi include Internet and VoIP phone access, gaming, and network connectivity for consumer electronics such as televisions, DVD players, and digital cameras.

Infinite Frontiers Excessive broadband bills: Problem solved Nowadays many are using broadband but are not satisfied with the bills they are paying. Many exceed their download limits and are charged heavily for it. For e.g., a person who takes a BSNL Rs250/- connection ends up paying much more than that, when he exceeds his data transfer limit. Even the data transfer while surfing and browsing is considered as downloading. For e.g. beyond your download limit visiting a graphic intensive page and surfing say ten pages in the website can cost you 8-10 Rs. So when you exceed your limit an hour of surfing costing can make you a little uncomfortable. There are various reasons why a person can exceed his limit beside the obvious ones- they include visiting youtube there even if you don't look at a video in full the browser loads the video and it adds to your account. Besides there are spywares, Adwares which silently and secretly keep communicating to their servers and keep adding to your download limit. Here I have explained them and will also be suggesting a solution for it. Spyware is Internet jargon for Advertising Supported software (Adware). It is a way for shareware authors to make money from a product, other than by selling it to the users.There are several large media companies that offer them to place banner ads in their products in exchange for a portion of the revenue from banner sales.This way, you don't have to pay for the software and the developers are still getting paid. If you find the banners annoying, there is usually an option to remove them, by paying the regular licensing fee. Why is it called "Spyware”? While this may be a great concept, the downside is that the advertising companies also install additional tracking software on your system, which is continuously "calling home", using your Internet connection and reports statistical data to the "mothership". While according to the privacy policies of the companies, there will be no sensitive or identifying data collected from your system and you shall remain anonymous, it still remains the fact, that you have a "live" server sitting on your PC that is sending information about you and your surfing habits to a remote location... Are all Adware products "Spyware"? No, but the majority are. There are also products that do display advertising but do not install any tracking mechanism on your system.These products are not indexed in our database. Unlike viruses and worms, spyware does not usually selfreplicate. Like many recent viruses; however, spywareby designexploits infected computers for commercial gain. Typical tactics furthering this goal include delivery of unsolicited pop-up advertisements; theft of personal information (including financial information such as credit card numbers); monitoring of Webbrowsing activity for marketing purposes; or routing of HTTP requests to advertising sites. Solution: one has to use an Internet security suite or maybe an antispyware. Also try using a firewall because that also checks these problems. Most of them cost you but there are also some free ones available. Also mozilla firefox users can download mozilla addons, which can restrict autoplay of flash movies, auto loading of images, block popup beside other user-friendly options. Also the user can remove external programs that automatically install themselves from the mozilla by deleting them from the Mozilla add-on list thus freeing him of any annoyance that these Adwares might pose.

Accelerated YOUTUBE After the goggle's search technology, ideas on the net keep on popping and keep on fading…some stay and make a big game of themselves. Youtube is one such idea that is here to stay and we already have a huge UIT junta aware of it and even using it. So here are some tips to use the thing better.

How do I use SpeedBit Video Accelerator? Continue to browse and watch videos as you always do and SpeedBit Video Accelerator will automatically begin to accelerate the videos, making them run faster and smoother. SpeedBit Video Accelerator includes a unique video search feature for finding videos around the web, right from your desktop, and also bookmarks the last ten videos you watched, for easy replays. Note that the bookmark feature can also be disabled for privacy purposes How does SpeedBit Video Accelerator work? With SpeedBit Video Accelerator installed, your browser's connection to specific streaming video server is being rerouted through the Video Accelerator Daemon. Unlike the normal browser connection, the Daemon uses a unique patent pending technology that substitutes the single connection with a sophisticated multi-connection algorithm. The end result is an (up to) 5 times faster connection, which handles the cache buffering (the "preloading" of the video) much more efficiently. Also the UIT junta is big time into the downloading, most of them however do not use any external download accelerator. Basically a download utility not only speeds your download but also gives you the facility of managing, scheduling and resuming your downloads. And if you are using the Internet explorer than the facility of a download client can greatly enhance your Internet downloading experience.

Infinite Frontiers ROBOT FEVERTRONICS ! Well. Well..! I am not a Robotist; I am just sharing some knowledge on Robots because I am very much interested in it. ! Many times in college and in any technical fest many people asked to me about Robots that we build for participating in various technical fests, is it really a Robot. Well my answer was NO. It is not actually a Robot, but it is a part of Robotics, which include some mechanical, electronics and electrical concept which is generally used to make Robots.Those who are really interested in it should go for it first. ! Generally, people use wrong definition of Robots. A Robot is a machine designed to execute one or more tasks repeatedly, with speed and precision. There are as many different types of robots as there are tasks for them to perform. ! A Robot can be controlled by a human operator, sometimes from a great distance. But most robots are controlled by computer. A Robot is mechanical devices that can move by themselves, whose motion must be modeled, planned, sensed, actuated and controlled, and whose motion behavior can be influenced by programming. Robots are called intelligent, if they succeed in moving in safe interaction with an unstructured environment, while autonomously achieving their specified tasks. This definition implies that a device can only be called a “Robot” if it contains a movable mechanism, influenced by sensing, planning, actuation and control components. It does not imply that a minimum number of these components must be implemented in software, or be changeable by the consumer who uses the device. ! Robotics is, to a very large extent, all about system integration, achieving a task by an actuated mechanical device, via an intelligent integration of components, many of which it shares with other domains, such as systems and control, computer science, character animation, machine design, computer vision, artificial intelligence, etc.

! Before going with Robotics you need to know about the following things. ! What is an interface? ! What is a control program? ! What is an actuator? What is an intelligent or adaptive robot? ! What is a re programmable robot? ! What is a specific-purpose robot? ! What are the four basic motions of a robot? ! Robotics is set to become a revolution in the way we live. The next 20 years will see a boom in robotics. It’s really an interesting field.

The Phoenix is flying.. 60 years ago India threw off the shackles of British Empire to become a free nation. And now the world's largest democracy is rushing headlong into the future. As the brief heyday of the west is going to close, one of the greatest places in the history is rising again. India has seen the abundant flow of huge events in the beginning of history. Its tale is one of the most incredible dramas and one of the biggest ideas till date. It's our motherland whose very own children will grow up to be the global superpower, embracing the virtues passed on to them from ancient civilisations. “Jambudweepe Bharatkhande” is the great land where all human pasts are still alive, a 10000 years old epic which still continues today. And we being Indians have the liberty to feel proud for what we have. India's 'unity in diversity' goes back to the customs and traditions rooted deep in our history, certifying that identity is never static but it is always in a phase of transformation. And this transformation has made our prodigies to dream for next generation India. The great Indian visionary Swami Vivekananda introduced himself at the world religious conference , held at Chicago, extolling Indian culture and values : “ We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religion as true. I am proud to belong to a nation which has sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions and all nation of the earth.” On a holistic nature the concept of “Vasudheva Kutumbakam” teaching all, tolerance and empathy for others is introduced first by India. We have taught how to live with sharing our world with the world of others, how to find happiness, how to live with virtue and dharma. We have long back evolved the very concept of world being home to every person ever born, which now comes as to be the global village. Speculation is the nature of universe as well as human being. And this relationship has provided us a fillip to speculate about our future. Speculating and inquisitive bend of Indian mind has opened a broadband channel for us to peep into future and regain our status. We, the stalwarts of science and technology from ancient ages are spearheading at a high pace.The legacy of Aryabhatta, Sushruta, Varahmihir, Charak and other umpteen Vedic scientists has been kept alive. India is the emerging technology titan and most of the foreign research establishments are fuelled by Indian human resource. More broadly, India's economic growth, its military capacity, its industrial strength, and its entry into world economic markets challenge its regional neighbors and the west. India has reincarnated herself.. Carving her golden future..Keeping her virtues alive... Phoenix has not only reborn but it is flying……

The team also participated at Sportomania-08, Annual Sports meet of MANIT Bhopal, and the team was also able to make it to the quarter finals of the Inter College Table Tennis tournament held at TIT Bhopal.The amount of achievements made by the team in such a short period of time is really commendable.With more practice and hard work the team is sure to make new marks next year. Cricket: The cricket tem of UIT-RGPV as always displayed great skills and a high level of commitment for the game. It was the sheer passion and love for the game that the team was able to represent the institute at many tournaments of national repute. The team participated at Spardha-08, Annual National level sports meet of IT-BHU. The team also participated at Sportomania-08, Annual Sports meet of MANIT Bhopal where it was able to make it to the third round, the Inter college cricket tournament held at SATI Vidisha and the team was also able to make it to the quarter finals of the Inter College cricket tournament held at Radharaman Bhopal.The talent and enthusiasm showed by the players was really promising and the team with more practice next year will be able to reach new horizons. Foot Ball: The football team of our college made a mark at the national level sports festival SPORTOMANIA 08, organized by the students of MAULANA AZAD NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY.The newly formed football team was the finalist at the sports meet.The team consisted of students of first, second, third and fourth year students.They were selected on the basis of trials organized by the senior members of the team. The trials were held at Jawahar Lal Nehru School, BHEL Bhopal football grounds.Out of the many players who came for the trials, only the best were able to make it to the final playing 15 who were to represent UIT RGPV at the sports fest. In the first round, our team encountered SATI Vidisha, which was supposed to be one amongst the really good and experienced teams of the tournament. The scoreboard remained unchanged at the end of the scheduled 90 minutes of play. It was down to the penalty shootouts to determine which team would make it to the semi finals. The hard work and courage of our players to perform well in such pressure positions finally paid off, as our team won the shootout 3-0. In the semifinals our team faced Technocrats Institute of Technology Bhopal. It was a walk in the park for our team as we defeated TIT 1-0. The final was against one of the fiercest competitor one can think of, MANIT itself. For the first time in the tournament, our team was provided with our own college jerseys. Although our team lost in the finals with a final score tally of 3-0, it was really a an achievement for a team with only 4 days of practice sessions and almost no experience, no one would have expected the underdogs of the competition to reach the finals of such a prestigious tournament. This event was a boon to the students as they were able to recognize the undiscovered talents buried inside UIT. This will act as a platform to let people come out and show their skills in this ball game Badminton: The badminton team was formed this year and consists of players from second and third year. The team members have high level of skills and talents and one of the team members has an all India ranking in badminton. The team represented the college in Spardha-08, Annual National level sports meet of IT-BHU.

DON'T READ THIS! To take you more into this article I would just bring your attention to an advertisement running across channels now a days, of some cold drink, wherein a boy meddles with two of his girlfriends quite intelligently telling both of them the truth about his actions but none of them believes him and consider him as an honest lover. That's a funny advertisement, an inspiring one too, but if you pay some kind of attention then you will be able to see the inner logic of that advertisement which will fill you with amazement. Quite similar to what happened in that advertisement an unthinking students often ask in lectures, 'May I ask a question?' Quick and witted replies are 'Too late' and 'Was that the question?' Similarly if the 'Don't read this notice' sign refers to itself, then it too is too late in its warning, just as is the notice that says 'Do not enter this room,' which is displayed in the room rather than outside. Don't you find such instances like few paradoxical classics? They have been happening from only God knows what time. There was once a barber of Rampur, a village somewhere in Uttar Pradesh, who, it was famously said, shaved all those inhabitants of the village who did not shave themselves. It was added that he shaved no others; he shaved only those who did not shave themselves and he shaved all of them. So far, so good, until someone asked, 'Did the barber shave himself?' Either he did or he did not. Suppose he shaved himself: then he was not one of the inhabitants who did not shave themselves. But we are told that the barber shaved only those who did not shave themselves. So, he did not shave himself. Therefore, from the supposition that he did shave himself it follows that he did not which is a contradiction. 'Con-tra-diction!' we could sing. Presumably, then, he did not shave himself; so let us consider this alternative. If he did not shave himself, then he was one of those inhabitants who did not shave themselves, but as we are told that the barber did shave all such inhabitants, he must therefore have shaved himself. 'Con-tra-diction!' What is to be done? It is not possible for there to be a barber who both does and does not shave himself. When we said that either the barber shaved himself or did not, we were presupposing that such a barber existed. The answer is that there can be no such barber.The presupposition is false. And now for something completely different or is it? Suppose someone (the boy in advertisement said I am telling truth, not literally but he did in fact say a truth.) Says, 'I'm lying' and says nothing else. When people utter such words, they are typically referring to other things that they have said; but in this case the speaker is referring solely to what he is saying when saying, 'I'm lying but we may reasonably challenge the assumption that he expresses something that is true or false.

I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.

Campus Café As with the Barber, let us consider the two alternatives: that he is speaking the truth and that he is not. Suppose he is speaking the truth: then it is true that he is lying but if he is lying, he is not speaking the truth.We have a contradiction. Suppose that he is not speaking the truth: then, as we assume he knows what he is doing, he is lying and so, as he says that he is lying, he is speaking the truth after all. 'Con-tra-diction!' With the Barber, we said that there could be no barber. With the Liar? The speaker who says that he is lying both exists and utters the words 'I'm lying' but we may reasonably challenge the assumption that he expresses something that is true or false. Just as the Barber paradox led us to conclude that there could be no such barber, so the Liar paradox may lead us to conclude that there is nothing that is being expressed by the speaker which is either true or false. This answer does not reach the heart of the problem, for we can strengthen and lengthen the paradox, with the speaker saying that what he says is not true. Would he not be expressing the truth that what he says is not true? If so, again the contradiction arises. This has suggested to some that we should resort to a stronger claim, namely that there is nothing at all that such a speaker is expressing when he says, 'What I am saying right now is not true' despite the words forming a coherent sentence. We need to handle this response with care. Quite what grip we have on the notion of 'expressing' such that we can tell that such a speaker is expressing nothing at all? He certainly seems to be expressing something more than someone who is silent or who utters nonsense words. Let us leave that thought lingering, to be picked up later. *** If you remember that we also mentioned a case of notice and a room, now if a notice a notice can sensibly instruct people not to read a different notice, just as the sign that warns of dangers in the room can be sensibly placed outside the blue room, the job we intend to do would be done. Futility arises when the notices involve elements of self-reference. A barber in Rampur can readily shave all and only those who do not shave themselves in the next village, say, Shyampur. The contradiction arises if that barber moves to Shyampur. Metaphorically, he goes up in a puff of smoke or a froth of shaving soap. In more literal mode, were the barber to move from Rampur to Shyampur, then what was true of him about his shaving clientele could no longer be true. A liar may say of someone else, without paradox, that that someone else is lying; it is when he says it of himself that paradox flies forth. And the similar paradox holds its validity in the case of truth where you can presume it to be a false.

True, he (the liar) may sincerely think that he expresses something but he is merely uttering words and failing to express a complete thought. By analogy, someone is not successfully telling you the meaning of 'dullu' if, when asked what she means, she can say only that by 'dullu' she means 'dullu'. Notices and sayings usually need to point away from themselves, rather than referring to themselves, but we need to be wary of mirroring; wary of what is said being reflected back, indirectly generating some self-reference. (1) What I

express by the next sentence is true. (2) What I expressed by the previous sentence is not true.

He's not dead, he's electroencephalographically-challenged.

Campus Café The first sentence is used to tell us about what is expressed by the second but that sends us scuttling back to the first, with paradoxical results unless we insist, once again, that, one way or another, nothing is being expressed. Self-reference continues to feast philosophers' minds. Some self-reference or mirroring seems fine. For example, when I say that, 'I am Indian'. My use of that sentence expressed a truth. But we may question whether that sentence involves self reference. What is expressed is about the nationality used; it is not about what is expressed by means of that sentence; that is, it is not about itself. What is expressed is not the sort of thing that can be put differently. The same belief may be expressed by both German and French speakers, but their utterances would be radically different as is sometimes the case with the American and Indian English.So where does this whole discussion take us, probably to no fix place but emptiness. All the self referenced sentence are like a loop to follow which does not have any termination step, and invariably take us to emptiness. I may now clarify (and rest some nerves) the claim that nothing is expressed by the use of such self-referential sentences. The truth is that nothing is identified which the speaker is expressing anything about. Although some things are being expressed for example the concepts of 'saying' and 'being true' are being expressed they are not being expressed about anything. There is nothing there to express anything about. What has just been said may be interesting or uninteresting but is what is expressed by means of this sentence interesting?

Our days to euphoria! After days of patient wait came the day of our departure to what one may say our big dream destination. The 'MOOD I' festival at IIT Powai. We departed for the fest on 26th of December 2007. For us the first year students, it was more of a party time before the commencement of New Year. At the railway station was seen a great amalgamation of seniors and juniors along with four faculty members. As we all were turning impatient to start the journey the information about the delay of train bit our ears. So, off we were wandering on the platform. Ultimately we departed around 2 pm. The journey onwards was filled with excitement of being a part of Asia's largest youth gathering, the Mood Indigo. 27th December was the day to explore the campus and studious brats of IIT. The evening was more happening. All of us were immensely anxious to watch the 'Gazal Night' by one and only Mr. Jagjit Singh. The show was awesome and the crowd at the open air theater thoroughly enjoyed the show. On 28th December, the dawn came late for all of us. This day again was fully loaded with loads of fun and frolic, all of us enjoyed a lot as many amongst us took part in the various events that were set for competition .In the evening, our first year group went out to see Mumbai central.Since the city was unknown to all of us our destination almost went for a toss, we were lost. But as we all fully agree to the fact that students of RGPV are jack of all trades, even though master of none (pun intended) we found our way and reached to Mumbai central. We did little bit of shopping, while over at the festival our seniors rocked to the performance of famous trio 'Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy'. 29th December was the day of festival. Students of our group participated in events like scavenger hunt, antakshri etc. We were unable to leave any mark at any of the event but got a good learning experience for any such next event. On 29th, the first year group again headed towards Mumbai Central, visited 'Fashion Street'.The feeling of spending it all on self was a superb experience in all together. The evening was more fun, we attended proshow performed by two very famous bands 'The Zero Band' and 'Thermal and Quarter', both the bands were fantabulous.That entire night we did loads of MASTI, we all including seniors cracked jokes and did everything that a bunch of few from a certain engineering college can possibly do. One went on singing as the other played guitar, jokes on each other and plenty more to name. Overall the entire three days were simple unexplainable. Must say we all had a jolly good time. Our journey back home filled us with mixed emotions. We had the anxiety to reach home soon and narrate out experience to all, at the same time the enthusiastic atmosphere here had captivated us to such an extent, that we didn't want to go back. With that it came an end to our roller coaster ride in 31st December, when we returned back with beautiful memories.Which we would always cherish!

Campus Café Dreams!“Your imagination, your world” The word 'Dream', from which all of us are familiar, Aah! I get excited whenever I think of the very word. It is a word having different meaning for different people. Like 'pen' for children, is a toy but for writers it means a lot. As we cross different phases of life, the meaning of this word changes significantly. As a child dreams are limited to chocolates, bat, ball and last but not the least our superheroes like Batman, Heman. At that time it made us to live in the world of fantasies. Considering those situations once again we find all this little off track because now these things are not that big a deal for us. But the point is when these fantasies come true we consider ourselves a WINNER! Now when we are teenagers (I am considering every one to be one) our dreams start to take a definite shape. This is the age of those dreams that decide our future, our upcoming world. At this age we dream of our future and some as an engineer (as an engineer, I put engineers first) others as doctors, managers, politicians. No doubt the dreams at this level, forms the basis of our future. So I think it is fair to call these dreams as“FUTURE DREAMS”. “To achieve some thing we have to do something.” I think this saying is partly incomplete. It must go like“To achieve something we have to dream something, and then do something.” Now, I sound better, I would say more practical. Dreams are what people are free to have, these are our desires that we want to achieve, what we want in future. Being a computer science engineer, I am calling this 'dream initialization'. So we are free to initialize them, because ultimately we want our 'Dream Success' like any c/c++ program success .To achieve your dreams successfully, consider yourself as a programmer who is paid for making code of what not! Anyhow! In simple language think that you are on earth for getting those of your future dreams true. And I want to tell you that the success of a programmer lies in how tough you are. With all that I have tried explaining I better do it with a C language code. Because that's what I am best at # include || includes dream in your life. # include<steps.h> || steps to achieve these dreams. Void life ( ) { Static dream; /*declared as static because its scope is life time. For (dream! = success) {printf (“take steps and don't feel as alooser”); } //when loop fails, dream=success Cout <<“you are a winner”; Get(more dreams); } So folks I have an offer for youHurry up, start dreaming and then you too can be a winner.

Dress code in colleges I stood before an audience of a thousand from various schools. Speaking on topic “is dress code necessary in colleges”. I was for the topic; much to my reluctance in doing so (I was chivalrous enough to let the girl who was my partner to choose first) As I tried to convince my audience about the necessity of dress code, I could not have been more unbelieving myself. I don't believe in dress code now, neither did I then. I feel if a person has a right to choose his college he jolly well is competent enough to dress himself up. The day came when I held the stamped UIT-RGPV admin slip in my hand. I was now ready to leave the 12 years of uniformed school life behind. I was happy that now I would be going to college in style. On my new CBZ-Xtreme with a jazzy helmet and cool carefully casual clothes sometimes I even thought of having studs in my ears, the thought was as quickly abandoned. I went to stores which were selling clothes with (50 + 49) % discount!!! and equipped my self. I was ready for college. My first day in college, I was brought to terra ferma with a jolt sooner than I had ever imagined, all my hopes of a uniform free college life were dashed to the ground seniors took pleasure in informing me that this is engineering college mate and you got to follow some rules. So the bike was locked up, Levi's and RBK's stowed away and I was my old self with black pants, white shirts and the ugly black shoes to boot.( no pun intended) How quickly the time flies, having rushed through the 1st sem, in retrospect I feel that wearing the same dress was not such a bad thing after all. It gave us all a feeling of solidarity as we could always recognize our lot. This was really necessary because in our early days in the college a certain bonding was required with your batch mates. There would be always time enough to do whatever you feel like. From second year onwards by that time we would have matured and the culture and discipline of the college would have been instilled in us. Some colleges here have imposed a strict uniform for students for their entire four years. I think a person who is going to choose his career is matured enough to choose his dress. Of course this doesn't apply to service personnel's where uniformity is absolutely essential. Anyway to each, his own, as far as I'm concerned, I am happy with the way things are here in our college and if someone doesn't like it, too bad, they would just have to take it with a pinch of salt.

Fuel! It was our first year in college. All those dreams of flying high were still buried deep inside due to the so called 'love' of our seniors over us. But still I must say we were called the most daring “freshers” ever because visiting to 'Saanchi' and canteen while being in first year was worth getting a 'Paramveer Chakra'. “To ab apni pehchaan banane ke liye kuch to karna hee tha” And there was the chance to prove ourselves. This was the most awaited moment; the annual day 'Anunaad' (awaited since last four years) was to be held this time. We grabbed the opportunity with full enthusiasm. Doing “volunteer-giri” was such a fun. Getting refreshments after each day of hard work was our major interest. But being a volunteer and writing all crap entries in registration form was not what we thought it to be like. To show full “neta-giri” we needed to do something stupendous on stage. BUT WHAT?? Suddently our think tank Sukanya Ganguli came up with an idea of a skit, the skit about our journey from school to college. But having a theme was not all enough to do a play, a script was needed (unfortunately the goal of having a script was never accomplished). At the time of auditions we were only 14 people longing to be the super stars of the play which had no story line, no dialogues and no characters yet. The problem was further multiplied when our opponent teams came up with innovative plays, with quality acting and of course with necessary accessories and equipments (including script) to make it for the final day. We had to perform in front of faculties and seniors.To our surprise, our skit which was a total mess in front of them did the trick to impress the seniors. A little bit of makkhan-baji of teachers and seniors did it for us finally, and all the other teams could do nothing but accept the reality with their jaws hanging like dogs. But this was not all, then began the actual drama of practicing for the final day, and we had single day to prove our mettle and make our seniors proud of believing in us. The very next morning we had to meet at Mayur Park for the rehearsals (calling it rehearsals wont be apt, because we still did not had a full skit to rehearse on).We did everything like playing with hose pipe, climbing on trees, and gained lot of vitamin D (while sitting ideally in sun), except for rehearsing. Watching the video capture of whole day's workout was like watching Rajpal yadav working together with Rajnikant in a Tamil movie. Next day was the day of 'Agnipariksha' through which each of us had to pass, with a lot of sound advice (more sound and less advice) from our seniors, we did the final rehearsals. And here came the much awaited moment when we were all well dressed in our 'Ram Leela' costumes waiting backstage for next performance (which of course was ours). To do the 'Shree Ganesha' of such a historic event something weird had to happen and this was it Sukanya lost her welcome note and narrator's part of speech. Some how shre tried to being the very plastic smile on her face pretending to be the 'Karta Dharta' with her dialogues. Well somehow the play started and to make it more badly we did not make the notice board (a prop) for the last part of the play. Brains backstage again started working and on stage everything was going wrong. The music did not play on time; people started forgetting their dialogues (which were hardly one liner). And at the last scene of the play we played our best part to make it the weirdest something ever done on stage.

One nice thing about egotists: they don't talk about other people.

A vodka carton was sent to from behind the curtains as our notice board prop. The cameraman, in spite of our great artistic acts got attracted by the carton and zoomed it the largest extent. The only thing which appeared on screen was a four letter word 'FUEL'. All our labor of putting two cm. thick layer of makeup over our faces went worthless. To our surprise the play came to an end with a bash, everybody applauded and enjoyed each part of play. But for us, (who knew the full inside story) it was a total mess. Remembering that historic event, I still keep on laughing alone for hours, on our stupid, idiotic plans and not so winsome acts.

SHOULD I WRITE FOR THE MAGAZINE Should I write for my college magazine? I think I should not because writing is not an easy task and what is the guarantee that if I write, my article will be published. I am not a professional writer, so how can I meet the standards required for the magazine.It is getting difficult for me to decide whether to write or not. I cannot copy an article, I cannot write anything cheap. I have to write something that satisfies my readers and me. I can't spend hours on writing so that I can give my best, but the truth is, only the best among the betters is going to be published. What will my friends think? If I write some jokes or such silly stuff, their chats will be unbearable for me. I have no creativity of my own and I cannot borrow from others.It will be much better to leave it over here, just drop the idea of an article for the college magazine. But it is my first year in college and I don't want to miss on the opportunity.I am in a big confusion. But I think I am worrying over nothing. I would give it secretly to the editor and request him not to disclose the matter. So I think I got my answer. I will write for the magazine.On the same night I sat on my table under the dim light of my table lamp, ready to write for the magazine, watching the stars and the moon as if they were peering into my paper, the calmness around making me feel that I am a writer. But suddenly, a thought struck my mind that it is fine that I should write for the magazine, but……….. WHAT SHOULD I WRITE ?

My First Experience on Stage: 24th Aug 2002 I don't know why I remember this date & the incident which took place on this very day so well. It may be for two reasons 1) It was my first time on stage 2) Most importantly- it was terrible. I entered KV Rewa in the middle of 2002-03 sessions. It was my second day in my new school I was asked to deliver a speech on wonders of science in the morning assembly. What's the big deal!!?? I said this to myself as I nodded my head to say Ok to my teacher. I felt that I would be able to do with ease as in my previous school on 26th Jan, 15th August. (As these were the only chances on One gets) I went and started preparing my speech along with my parents as if I was chosen the president of USA and had to deliver the speech to my people. I learnt it by heart and recited it in front of the mirror and relatives. I had never ironed my shirt or polished my shoes myself before but on that day I did! Just because I had the gut feeling that with this speech I would become a Celebrity or something. I felt this was the opportunity with the help of which I could announce my entrance into the school. Finally the moment came. My name was announced and I started shivering and my hands were going wayward as if someone was pulling them. My feet moved as if I was playing football. Believe me friends, I am using no superlatives. I somehow reached the mike & the first line that came to my mouth was “good morning uncle and Aunties” and then I say “Oh! Sh**”. In my previous school I used to speak in front of a crowd sitting 50 mts away and the nearest thing to me was my principle that was always busy sleeping. I reveal that no one would have ever heard of me speaking than me throughout. Naturally, I remembered nothing of what I was to say. Everything was coming out spontaneously from my mouth. “Today I stand before you to tell you about our grandfather Gandhiji of Africa 20th Oct & …But then I thought that if I get the chord of the mike somehow disconnected I would be able to save myself but mike was kept on some distance from me meanwhile the 200 students in my assembly ground here were going berserk laughing” After sometime I shifted from Gandhiji to Bose then to Bhagat. I had no clue how to stop myself. I prayed a teacher come and stop me about when I looked around It seemed as if my they were also enjoying my speech. And at last I said Thank you and rushed out. Although nothing happened as expected but I was well known to the people after this

First Bunk Of My Life My first bunking experience…! Ah! What an experience! Actually I don't want to tell anything about that day, but due to some fatty forces, I have to share this with you guys, hope so… my readers. I have done my schooling from such a school where the thought of even bunking a particular class for even ten minutes was considered an unpardonable sin, a crime of that level of cruelty, the sinner of which could be even sentenced to IPC section 372 of DAV penal court. Moreover, I was not in favor of bunking my 'valuable' classes. But these miraculous thoughts of mine underwent a drastic change when I saw the scenario over here in UIT, which I always misspell with UTI (the bank), the meaning however remains the same, UIT or Under Trained Idiots. Anyways, I bunked my first class, the very first one to be bunked in my whole engineering career. There were many reasons for my bunking of the ******** class, actually that was my second class which I would have been attending that day but the terrifying Zingaro type memories of the first class shrilled me like our ExP.M., Mr. Atal Bihari's speech whose time period of uttering two consecutive words was more than one light year and that teacher was the exact copy. But the thought that pumped me out of my seat and provoked me immensely to bunk was somebody in blue colored dress, naughty eyes and carrying a conscious level of fat jumping terribly as if she bagged in Olympics, so as to bunk her class. Seeing her doing that, it took me no time and I was on the terrace following her. I was there with some of my classmates under the scorching sun cursing her blue dress and bean shaped teeth which pulled me there. In the meanwhile, one of my hostel senior with his friend who was a day scholar came there. I stood and wished him but refrained myself from wishing his friend (partially aware of the consequences). I moved to my group again when the friend of my hostel senior called me and slapped me I came downstairs consoling myself that it happens yaa…r. What all I have to do is just chill. But I told whole of the matter to one of my hostel colleagues and in no time this matter spread like fire in jungle.I was totally bombarded with the thoughts of going and hitting when all my friends assured me saying “Go ahead, we are with you”. As we moved towards Sanchi, I promised myself not to run blindly after any girl in future which actually led my 'DDLJ' turn to 'Shootout at Lokhandwala'. All the seniors saw us holding a bat and started grouping themselves. Two of them came to me and asked me to move back but yeah…I was in no mood and was about to hit the culprit when both the parties saw Thapar sir running terribly towards us. All the planning and energy was destroyed and all the seniors and juniors started running like rats as if Thapar sir was a cat. I thought it better to run towards the hostel, through the uneven barren lands having wild, thorny shrubs. While running, I felt into a big pit and one of my shoes slipped out of my leg and I got an injury on my knees. Still I stood up and started running again like a wound soldier and saw about hundreds like me falling and running as if Thapar sir was firing cannons on us. So, in the end, all my zeal and anger to hit the seniors and declare myself as 'Tipu Sultan' remained a dream and my movie even grew worse from 'shootout at Lokhandwala' to Manoj Vajpayi's 'Daud'!

YOUTH (PRIDE OR SHAME) Alok Tarcitius,II YEAR, EX They are the stars of tomorrow Creating new ideas and not borrowing Abundance of talent & foundation of energy Accomplishing the tasks with this synergy Moving along on tough roads Carrying along heavy leads They have their own hurdles Along with a lot of daily struggles Managing all this they move along Facing the challenges rather quite strong

They know that only the fittest stay till the last Pressure flowing in from all sides Life is like travelling in a sea with high tides Being pointed at ruining the culture The society sees them Not as a pigeons but vultures Many fall prey to some vice While the rest choose to be wise Working hard to their ability Mostly we see only the rotten few They’re the architects of better future Whatever be they’re one must let them grow Then they'll bring the nation fame Holding their heads high in pride & not shame

Safar Civil Se Ex Tak Ka Dhokebaaz! Dalbadlu! Chuperustam! These were the words being showered on me when the result of branch up gradation came out .I was completely dipped in a mixed feeling of both joy & a little bit of sorrow. Right from the day I entered college, I had thefeeling of changing my branch .although civil is also a good branch but I always felt that my brain won't work there(It was a big compromise from my side) slowly andslowly I got completely mixed in that environment. The commentaries in bus, bunking classes, attending the hectic and rigorous BEE and Chem labs and preparing for mid sems, internals etc etc. these are just unforgetful (the so called 1st year ki yaadein)Sems passed on one by one & finally the day for forms for upgradations were to be filled up. Hoping for the best I submitted my form well in advance but on the last day of submission I added EX in my list of preferences (This was forced due to some circumstances). And finally I was upgraded to EX against a vacancy. My friends were shocked.At last I entered were the working hours 5:30 & some times an over time of 6:30(jab Thapar sir ki lab hoti hai).But still I m happy and want to thank all those responsible for my sudden change of decision.

Dates in the calendar are more closer than they appear

Campus Café Millennium Knowledge University In the auspices of Shri Shri Ishtanand Saraswati Is organizing a two day convention In the University auditorium On “The Path to Divinity: The Trail to Tranquility”. Shri Gyananand ji, a Computer Engineer, Has consented to be our Guest of Honour. All faculty are requested to attend the same And enlighten themselves with the sermons of the sage. As per the order in the circular, Order abiding teachers flocked From all the building blocks To the auditorium on the first floor. A cursory glance at the audience, Gauged a very thin attendance. Then every Tom, Dick and Hari Was then huddled into, in a hurry. Level of excitement had over crossed It was quite an anticipated response. The guests arrived, In an air of mixed delight; August audience gave a standing ovation, Followed by a floral welcome, Accompanied with a few words of praise, Giving of bouquets to the dignitaries on the dais; Compeer then handed over the microphone Convention commenced with the chanting of 'Om’

CONVENTION That transcended all to the metaphysical state One by one the speakers dominated the stage. The attention curve observed a steep decline, A curve began to appear in the upright spines, Then there was a loud and unavoidable sneeze, Few could be spotted dozing off to sleep; Noises of cough and cold here and there Otherwise, perfect peace prevailed everywhere, A few were in noiseless peals of laughter With their faces masked, Shaking vigorously, exchanging fresh remarks On a freshly picked up piece of paper: "Convention is a fashion these days" 'Don't say right things at a wrong place' "Who is obliging whom?" 'Behave; you'll be caught very soon, Patiently listen to the divine discourse, Purpose of our presence in this course' “Spirituality is the spirit of affection and devotion And religion is the handbook of affection” 'But devotion to whom is not specified And the chapters of affection are highly polarized'; “Peace is where devotees of divinity are found”, 'No, in this hall where scapegoats abound'; “An unequal distribution of wisdom and wealth Calls and justifies for His Holiness' divine help” 'Otherwise we have potential to annihilate The entire human, non-human and inhuman race' "He badly needs a speech therapy done" 'We are but fools sitting like dumb' "Scapegoats have no escape route" 'Utter system failure, Divinity! Reboot.’

As silence is the convention of the convention One dared to stealthily escape the convention Others in the proximity toggled to 'Get Set Go' position A few in between clapped for the words of wisdom The front rowers had no option But to listen with rapt attention; Then there was a thunderous applause End of the session was the cause, One over enthusiastic then asked a question; Captivated audience took a sigh of relief 'What is the difference between spirituality and As it was time for their graceful release. religion?' That was the ultimate test of patience As the answer did not bear any direct or indirect relevance; Many more got up from their sleep, wide awake Only to interrogate, thus leading to a debate: What makes a genius? Why are they so vague? Mind blowing questions, mind blowing headache Though tolerance had crossed the threshold The spell of spirituality kept the scholars on hold. The next day 'The City Live' published a report The essence of which I put forth: A very successful convention, Witnessed by a houseful auditorium, Of researchers, scientists and academicians; In his mission to revitalize the Vedic traditions Shri Shri Ishtanand ji enlightened the souls Which would go a long way in achieving their goals, The importance of getting up early in the morning, Chanting 'mantras' and practising deep breathing, Wonders and tranquilizing powers of Pranayam, Endorsed by men of eminence including APJ Abdul Kalam, All these supply an inexhaustible fund of positive energy And enable us to live in harmony without harming anybody.

INSIGHT Lost in the laws and norms of the society, invisible to the world, is the real me: my clandestine soul. It needs to be hidden, beneath several layers, deep within the heart, since it is so pure and chaste. But sometimes, somehow, the expressions, the notions, the essence, may divulge, unrevealing the carapace, for at times, the brain may think straight from the heart!

Insight

Which Religion My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute." — Ayn Rand, from her Appendix to Atlas Shrugged

Can man live from bread and water alone? Taken symbolically yes, though this requires a mental level close to the one akin to irrational animals, in the same sense as these go through life without any intellectual interests. Yet, even at such a reduced level, a man could not avoid replying to a political discussion, to give his opinion, however fragmentary and limited, however unconnected and copied from what he heard others say on a given issue. In every man, excepting those poor creatures who suffer from dementia or a physically damaged brain, or those who never reached the level of the faculty of reason or abandoned it voluntarily at any moment of their life, there is an intellectual level involved. Given these considerations, no man can live from bread and water alone. Even if such a man would say that art does not interest him, he will be entrapped both by the beauty of a wonderful sunset and by the delicate capacity of the artist who is painting it. Even at a low level, his brain would suddenly be confronted with art and all the inspiration it transmits and he would emerge from the experience feeling either an uplifting vigor or a depressive disheartening which he may not be capable to explain but which would engulf him anyway. This being so, we notice already that just as no man can live from bread and water alone he can also not live – as religious people would want this to be – from "spirit" alone, for spirit is just another word for conscience and conscience implies both the recognition of existence and the use of intellectuality.

These interconnected parts of materialism and spiritualism have constituted the separate halves of a dualism onto which both materialists and spiritualists have held for thousands of years. By doing so, they have split man in two and destroyed him as what he is: a rational being, which is living matter that has evolved to reach the highest possible level in nature, the capacity to think.

Insight

The Original Idea Sometimes, a spark catches your imagination but at other times the empty air holds no inspiration and no divine message. You search it, sieve it and it returns naught. It kills a part of you and you wonder why? Perhaps it fails to reinvigorate What was always yours The musings seem irrelevant. It is but a froth of silence Floating without the subtlety It is but a void of sickness Barking indifference at me. The dryness is its point of statement and the gist of existence. It is but the unburnt desire or the death of ambition or it is point of difference That region that passes and holds in its two ends the two worlds. That holds the travellers from middle earth to the upper earth Or is it the eternal prison Where the death of idea occurs and the meaning redefines itself and in the process wastes itself into the ether. And who knows and owns this place This air and this silence and who manifests the ritual when an idea dies and another is born and who tells if its reborn And who plans that who dies and lives and dies and follows it till the eternity Or is the time too short to play an arena and too inconclusive to play the measure. Who owns this and who decides this And If I am not the one Than what's the point of being me the one

Or is the time too short to play an arena and too inconclusive to play the measure. Who owns this and who decides this And If I am not the one Than what's the point of being me the one For then nobody knows who the one is as the boundary dissolves the ones into the second and third Until there is no count, no Count of difference No count of existence but the plan Not the individuality but the monotony Is this place the cradle or the graveyard? Is this empty or filled with death If it's not the genesis and not the nemesis Then is the hanging garden gone barren Or the desert that mandates the elixir then where am I hanging Or passing Into death of a failed birth and stale evolution Or is this the fulfillment of original idea.

Eternal Spaces’

You search for your space, and not by physicality but the inner space of your mind...unconquered and inane.You travel.You read. you discover your inside out but still you fail to find that "space"...that nothingness in you ... the one which might kill you and at the same time keep you breathing...the one which is your strength as well your broken spine...the one which is both you and your alter ego....you try and search for it...and at the end you realize that all your life what you've been searching is nothing but your real "self"...the one that makes you and as well breaks you! here one's "self" is discovered by the emptiness of many kinds...as a fathomless "space", an indescribable "thing"...as the literal meaning of "none" and by anything as casually described by an "it". Its one's journey to discover himself! Through an empty road I look in for some space funnier it may seem ... as I try and find it "none"! and I find myself in the sunshine in the woods.. in the rain in the morning glow of sun till the midnight dawning lane from the heavens to the earth as I seek through the ends undone funnier it may seem ... As I try and find that 'none'!

in an empty room I look in for some space the nothingness crowds Me deep in vain as the lonesome falls again from the church ... to the temple from one sorrow... to another fun funnier it may seem... as I try and find that "none" And how I sometimes fly like an eagle.... sometimes like a dove ..slow and fine Sometimes I swim deep in the ocean all to look for the "thing" of mine..... and how I drive the highways across... NYC via Chicago ...to our own dilli roads from the lightless lane..to that half echoed sound that thing of mine ....is still nowhere to be found... That last bus..and locals at night that corner bar where no one fights that scorching summer ... and winter nights on empty sheets i search for my space.

The average man does not know what to do with his life, yet wants another one which will last forever

Insight THINKING OF YOU in empty class rooms..on vacant chairs in morning metros...to the last of few stairs on flightless runways..to the hollow stares at the ends of all... I search for my space. from the nothingness of the soul...to the hollering of my mind from the lonely mornings ..to all the pleasures I don't find from the earth beneath my feet...to the end of my vision I search for the only.. the only space of mine. and as I lie down all perished and jaded Search no more...for my time has come and right amidst the half lived years the half spent joys..and the incomplete selves I see "it" mourning...for I failed to find ....for I failed to find the "self" of mine In its enigma it holds me tight... walks me careful, quite and safe with an honour to my soul..and tears for my death I see it walking me ...right till my grave !

In my heart is where you'll stay thinking about you each and every day…… Some things that happened were beyond my control it hurts sometimes but I had to let go…… Our love was strong it felt so real sometimes I questioned the things you feel…… There are no regrets not one, it's true but God only knows the reasons we're through…… Be filled with laughter and maybe some smiles sending warm wishes along all these miles……

‘We can't call people without wings angels, so we call them friends instead'. I still remember the time when all my friends and I were enjoying the last few days of our school. We had already started singing songs of parting. The very thought of doing anything and everything alone, without any of my childhood friends was hurting.Together, all of us made number of resolutions and promises of keeping in touch always. On our farewell day, none of us cried because we were confident that we would never lose contact. All of us finally, parted.

Deciding not to choose is still making a choice.

Insight For the first two months, we called each other and stayed in touch as promised. But gradually, as we got involved more and more in our new lives, all the resolutions seemed to fade. New friends entered my life and old friends I started to lose. Some where in my heart, I wanted all my old friends back in my life but I didn't have the courage. What if they didn't respond? What if they were no more my pals? One fine day, finally, I mustered up the courage and called one of my closest friend and what I found was a boundless joy and happiness. Though I could not see her but I was sure somehow, that I have once again got the same old pure and unconditional love from my buddy. That is when I realized that friends do not need to stay in touch actually just the thought that they are there is enough. Now, I often sit back and wonder, “I often think of you; I wonder how you are And what you are doing ……. Where you are Days have gone by Since I saw you last, Yet to me, Your laughter And glad company Are as it were only yesterday. Sweet friend, If we ever meet……. I'd ask you into my life All over again And I'd love you just the same.”

The creator of his own destiny finds peaceNot in pauses of rest but achieving the dreamsThe dreams may be high, even difficult to be, But my dear friend, dreams shape one's destiny.

TOTAL RECALL Today, I stand on the accomplishment of a significant milestone whilst beckoning another struggle in my journey to the attainment of my goals of life. So, recalling about this milestone, a kind of nostalgia engulfs me these days. These four prime years of my life have transformed me from a schooled boy into an engineered adult. I was a technical toddler (although that I am still …!) when I stepped into this institution with crazy looks and boosted up spirits. But since then the time seems to have just passed in a moment. There were some crucial, some crazy, some stressful, some funny phases in these four years of college that can definitely be attributed to all the important changes and developments in my persona as you see today. In the very first year, the college seemed to be a den of lions. Every time hiding away from our seniors (and some terrible seniors!!) and yet doing masti was the routine of first year. Ragging used to be the utmost fear during those initial days. But just after a few weeks we had come closer to the college fraternity and got acquainted quite a bit with the process of learning that was altogether different from that of my school (the most strange things I faced was starting every day's classes without the morning assembly and bell !!!). I was exposed to an entirely new set of people as classmates. It was fun making new friends and getting mixed as a community. A lot of people would open up in the last two years only. So you would never know in the first look that you could be in a close touch with them for the years to come. This is how you discover your (or rather I had discovered my…) circle of friends. Those days had one thing that did make me crib most of the times. Having cleared the IITMains exam (though with quite a poor rank) I wanted to be belonged to my league of people only. But in the classrooms, when I appeared akin to my peers who were not of my league, it hurt me hard. I don't know if it was my self ego or a natural human tendency that made me strive to get distinguished out of the crowd. But it was the first semester result that gave me a substantial relief for the first time. The good thing in me was I never saw myself lost even if that meant not being noticed. I enjoyed the life but I did complain. It was now time for the second semester to strike at my door. But it wasn't alone. A disastrous and tragic time was accompanying it. Facing it was really difficult and torturous but I had to that.The blow that my family went through was all unexpected and created catastrophic consequences. So, overcoming it and giving the foremost priority to my aspirations and responsibilities was my objective then. Now I can say that have fared well enough in this. The consequent years were altogether a new phase of life for me. Apart from engineering subjects the exposure to the galore of technologies had fascinated me since then. Most interesting semesters were after the third one when the core computer science starts engulfing your brain and you begin exploring insights into them. But unfortunately, my insights, explorations and understandings of the concepts never materialized into tangible scores on my marksheets. Irrespective of my efforts in the preps, my scores remained ironically disproportionate. It was every time a big bang in the heart (I hope most of us share this bang) and I had to satisfy myself with just a word “never mind!!”.Well 'forgetting the lost battle and charging for the one ahead' continued to be my mantra (though it is still….). But the insatiable quest to prove my prowess was there somewhere in my heart that had pricked me all through out. Thanks to all minor successes in the mean while that always stimulated me to fight even harder…till today!

Insight During these middle semesters, my friend circle occupied a special significance for me. Every venture that we participated together was a cherished memory for ever. Whether the events in the college or trips that we went together or the projects that we worked on are all vividly engraved in my mind. I don't know how good I have learnt from the engineering classes. But the difference has been the people I met. Campus placement was the next chapter in this story. It really made me (rather all of us) feel a sense of certain accomplishment. The pay package and the job glamour associated with it made us even more excited. All the more, before I could realize my first placement, I was gifted with a second one also. This double bonanza indeed changed my feeling for myself up to an extent. But since my aspirations required something even bigger than these placements, I wasn't content. Very soon after this, various competitive examinations took over our minds. We all went crazy with big aspect dreams and the desperation to achieve it. At this point of time it is really crucial that one should clearly chalk out his (her) interests and goals. As it is highly probable that one gets carried away with the crowd, one should pursue his (her) ambitions only rather than what every body is trying to do. Well some of us did that and some didn't, and so they are proud of their feats now. Anyway, the final knock came at the door. I took my final semester as the backup semester. This was the time for all my suppressed and latent desires (that I had never executed in 4 yrs so that my aspirations don't suffer) to unleash out. When my engineering was at its dusk, I started enjoying each coming moment and realizing every lost moment. There was a lot that I had learnt and embraced from this semester too. All the bonds that were made and nurtured during these four years were about to be cut. No matter how hard we try, but these lost days would never ever come back. Although the sparkling future awaits us with all its hands stretched out, but the attachment with the past is unbreakable. At this sunset in UIT, when bidding adieu these four years my TOTAL RECALL has become more meaningful…

STRANGE TRUTHS OF LIFE Some mysteries are never unfurled, Some songs are never sung, Some flowers never bloom, Some poems are never read, Some roads are never trodden, Some lives are always a doom, Some time just stops Some words are never spoken, Some rivers are stopped by blocks, But these are what are, The enigmas of the world, Some mysteries are never unfurled, Some mysteries are crystal clear, Some facts but, remain blurred..... ..

Nature - at its best I was studying in class 2nd, when I held “the mike” for the first time in my life. As far as I can remember, it was for a recitation competition I had to recite a poem before the entire school and staff. You could hardly imagine the shock I went through when I realized that I would be the first boy to begin the competition, my nimble fingers were held by the teacher and I was led to the stage and“the mike”was handed over to me. Guess what?? My mind completely went blank as I gasped at the object held in my hand. I am sure I appeared lost and it was obvious that I had forgotten the purpose of my presence before the audience. Suddenly my vacant look fell on a tree which was always there in the compound. In my fear it appeared as though it stood taller than me as though telling me “we have to occupy our place in this world and do our bit, fear nothing”.The tree was in bloom and the flowers were swaying with the wind as though telling me to join them in their dance. I was shattered by the sound of the buzzer which was rung to tell me my time was over, needless to say that I was disqualified from the competition. But, I qualified for life for that very moment I promised myself I will never let my fears rule me. Im precious and Im different yet I've to contribute to the harmony of the nature. The moment came again after 3 years when once again I participated in another competition.There as soon as I held “the mike” I was in total command of my fears and I did my job to the best, it was indeed the best for I bagged the first prize. I stepped on stage to receive my prize from the chief guest. The same tree was there. It was again in bloom. Today I could also feel my spirits away in a dance, with that of the flowers, with the wind. Indeed“nature at its best, with me too” I felt like it said to me: I was with you when you were born, I will be with you when you die, Hold me tight So that, You never have to cry.

Interpretation of the Shiva- The Destroyer Long time ago in a discussion I had read that a very strange idea. The idea stated that the destructive ethos of the Hindu society can be attributed to the fact that we worship Shiva- the Destroyer and not the Brahma-the creator. In that we don't respect the creator but the destroyer giving rise to destructive mentality. However I contested the idea. For e.g. Even as we continue to worship Shiva, Hindus historically have neither invaded any country nor destroyed any civilization in the past. Never did it display any destructive behavior in its entire history of 5000 years. The ideology behind the destroyer is that the destroyer destroys the Evil and not the creation. Let's see this example: When plantation of crops is done on a field the, the planter is the creator. Now if the field is left like that the crop will outgrow itself, weeds will surround the field and insects will wipe away the entire crop. Now that man who cuts away the crop is the destroyer. Here destroyer is of supreme importance in realizing the creative value of the creator, perhaps even more important than the creator.Thus the creator and the destroyer work in tandem. Similarly, If only the society was created and no caretaker was made, then it is natural for the antisocial elements to mess up the society. Thus some form of regulation is necessary; someone must be entrusted with the power to clean the society. Thus the destroyer is the main force that exists in the society to act against the evil and let it live. So we worship the Shiva to destroy the evil created by the creator himself. And make this world a better place to live in.

CAN YOU EVER LOVE ME FOR MYSELF Can you love me for myself? For being who I am through and through? Can you love me with my imperfections? Can you see me as I am and not as what you want me to be? Can you ever love me for me? For my mistakes and for speaking without thinking? Can you love me even when I am unreasonable? Can you see me as I am and not for the angel you seek? Can you ever love me for me? When I cry because I am hurt? Can you love me when I am sad without having a reason to do so? Can you see me as I am not as what I once was?

Wind breaker! “A man halt's to look back at his life and realizes that all that he has achieved is fathomless…as what he believed to be success, isn't what the world believes to be. He disgusts to comply with the mob. He refutes to take race in this maddening world. As for him his success lies in himself. Even if that means to be nothing but a dead man's tomb, five feet under”

Halt. I look back, And I see my fate. For my life has been nothing But a windbreaker's race I see. My answers, the one you name destiny Some twisted. Some scorned For all I question is infidelity. I fathom My trials, what you named as madness For I've wasted to win over this maddening wild race. And lo I surrender, To gather my life within As I look back, I see You name it …... As simply as nothing !

Irony Is hard, To slap it on face When one has to breathe, On his whining death race.

O Mary, You might have known How it is to run for home Do not loath me for I'm no winner As I come walking, my way back home!

You might have known How it is to run from home. Do not loath me for I couldn't make it, All I'm doing is to walk back home...all The way home!

I face it. For I've been, more or less done. And in this life all I ever was, Is now an epitaph to a dead poet's tomb. So while you read me, With your heart full of blood I realize, That all I will be is a poor man's poem. O Mary,

She's dead! She's dead… I rode, ironclad, through swamp, through desert, through forest, I rode through sultriness, through frigidness, sword swinging at every challenger. Never resting, not to clean my blade, never stopping once in my tracks. Always warm in the saddle, my steed never let her hooves cool. Spire in sight, I slayed the dragon. I feasted on it's fiery heart; took no treasures for none sparkled with a shine near her aura. I ascended the tower, nothing but stench greeted me at the door. Oh God! How you torment me so. No treasure, no prize, Only bleached bones to hold, Only a corpse at my apex. She's dead…

LIFE @ WHAT? Let's for a while leave the fun and joyful seeming world aside, Get serious and talk about The erratic real life, which basically has less to show and more to hide. Every moment is not a moment of Bliss here, Every next second is not Cheerful as the previous one, problem arise and trap you Abruptly from almost nowhere. This journey is too long, short for tears. Grudges and too small for Complaints to amend, Be happy and enjoy the ride people, after all you never know when this journey may end. You have your lows and you have Your moments of bounce, But whatever may come and go, In any situation any circumstances Any day try and never renounce.

Depressing times enhance the importance and worth of good times, otherwise if you don't have those sad one's, well which one's would you recall and cherish as happy times When everything seems burnt out and its hard to find a single sigh of light, Just remember these few words, and if they help you someday it would surely add to my delight. if life gives you those thousands reasons to cry find that one reason to smile, because god may not be able to remove those thousands reasons completely, but would definitely won't let that one reason volatile it may all sound philosophical and not easy to abide, but trust me on this folks, there'll be many circumstances when you'll need to make decisions and finally decide !

A Dream A Dream, In the midst of night while I was fast asleep, a dream tears apart the darkness engulfing me. It was like an, angel in sparkling white garments were looking at me. I called her, I screamed to come closer but she refused by not saying a word to me. Soon she showed her back which suddenly looked to me as my destiny was unfolding its pages. Soon after her disappearance, a thought came to me that, “If somebody like her could ever come to me if in dream I would have slept when sun is awake” “If somebody like her wished me good luck, I would have felt lucky to hear those two words.” “If somebody like her could even stand besides me when I am in pain.” “If somebody like her could ever see when I am struggling to revive my destiny.” “If somebody like her could ever allow me to rest on her shoulders when I tire my self more than what I could bear.” “If somebody like her could ever see me crying lonely in my bed, waiting for the dreams which haunted me and wished me sweet dreams” And at last, “Some body like her could have ever burdened herself to read this bad joke.”

3 Sides of the same coin From the very childhood, every children is imbued and asked to follow certain rules and principles. The elders on the basis of their experience in life tell us what to do and what not to. We are expounded to discriminate between the good and the bad, the right and the wrong.The elders, our teachers, parents all tell us to adhere to the right path, avoid the bad things and live an archetypical life. Keeping in mind, these teachings we take decisions in life about doing things with a view to do always good or correct thing.When we come across certain quandary or bafflement, we choose the right alternative and follow it, believing that the other option is the wrong one. Thus we can say that everything has two sides/facets like the two sides of a coin. But, in life many a times we are not fully correct and completely wrong. Still in such problems we consider only one side of the coin or rather contrive the second side too. This state of being not fully correct and wrong is the third side of the coin.This third side has no physical existence.This third side is implicit and important. Only time reveals this third side.We never accent to this side and live our lives and take decisions. We are always taught about the good and the bad(white is good and bad is black), always to be good or to be on the white side. But, actually there cannot be an entirety of white or black. There is the third side, the gray side. This third side could be understood with some of our experiences in life. In our diurnal life, many times we have to lie for our sake or for the benefit of somebody else. But our childhood tutelage say that lying is a bad thing, thus it means that we all are on the black side and we are bad. Is it so??? Will this make you feel guilty??? No absolutely not, though you are not completely white too. Now where will you put yourself in this situation ( as the bad one/ black side or the good one/white side). In this case, you can emphatically put yourself on the third side, i.e. the gray side.This gray side exists only because of black and white.You can have different shades of it which I would say will tell you the amount of good or the bad in you. Second example could be of two very close friends. They had shared the best of times with each other and known each other very well. But, someday they started quarreling, everything shattered just because of a misunderstanding. Both of them with their egos very high considered himself correct and didn't looked for the third side. Time passed and their animosity increased. This time however showed

them the third side too, where they had the realization of their mistakes. But in this time period the animosity between them had intensified so much that they cannot have the same relationship again. Thirdly you can see this third side in expectations too. When we do something for somebody we generally expect something from that person. But in many cases, the person doesn't acknowledge you and help you in your time of need.This hurts you and you develop bad regards for that person. Nevertheless it could be possible that the person wanted to help you but under some circumstances he could not. Most of us don't consider this side and stop helping others. So is it that altruism is bad???? No, just follow the words “ Never expect anything from anybody” (considering the third side). Well I have realized the importance of this third side and now I consider it in everything I do. This has saved me from getting gloomy and sad along with the feeling of being guilty. Through experiences of daily life I tried to give you an idea of the elusive third side, think on it and you will also find it around you……

Whenever my heart quails, Or even if there's tenebrosity, I will conquer the whole schmear, If you're there by my side. Whenever the milieu is pervaded with pleasure, And ecstasy packs the air, Epoch would be empyrean, If you're there by my side.

THE ABSTRUSE JUSTICE A girl jilted by destiny orphaned at nine Too innocent to understand life, to fear death Busy catching butterflies, making castles of the sand The handkerchief her mother had pinned, still intact With a Barbie doll in hand Expected to cry, forced to react She is dragged to her parent's funeral The protector shell had cracked Rays of darkness entered Darkness-not an acceptable state but absolute absence Ready to engulf that soul's innocence The symphony of silence transforming Into the church ceremony's wistful laments Oblivious of death, the ultimate justice of God She is still unaware of the brevity of life Floating in the imaginary castles free from gravity Far away from reality She feels safe like still in the cocoon But alas, dreams don't last.

Deaf Angel This time around, after deep breath, it is mine, it is my horrific sound. Trouble time is ringing loud. I want to regain my lost ground. With inbuilt proud, I am rubbing the silver bangle Where are you, you my deaf angel. Panic, is the word written in crimson red. Now troubles have even reached my bed. Without your help, I may drown. Something inside me or in others is disturbing my feathers. I am rubbing it one more time, Where are you my deaf angel. This atmosphere is becoming catastrophe, where is peace, or my hibernation coffee. They are conveying nothing, and unknown is riding on my fears. I hope that sooner or later it will be tears. My hands are bleeding, my neck paining, Where are you my deaf angel. All alone, I am sitting on hill top. Dark is peeking from nearest park. My fear's echo may cause troubles; I am seeing my future in silver bubbles. Breaking and fading my future seems. Numb are my hands, and my soul, Where are you my deaf angel. This will be last time, I will ever write. Last time I will scribe. Last time to fight my self. No matter how fragile my sword be. Come soon Oh! My deaf angel.

But, The happiest man rises highNot even single volition sigh. 'Omniscient' considered by many, Is the one who earns TRUST, not agony; Who thrives for emotions, Digests 'SECRETS' with greatest passion; 'BETRAYAL' acquires anonymity with him, Not to ditch anyone, albeit hopes are dim; Placed in situations, tough to survive, Difficult for even those called wise; The fiasco of feelings takes one beneath, Happiness seems to take the back-seat; Efforts seem going down the drain, Anxiety & adversary scribble disdain; Alone one may seem, that's not foreverPersonal allure remains in air forever. Those who are trustworthyHave secrets to carry, For who believe in humanity Will acquire sanguinity The words in Gold, to every soul must be told“Taking the secret to the grave it means So, with all my might I'm here to mean To be trusted is a better compliment than to be loved However, onerous it may seem.”

Are You a Hummmmer too?? I wonder from which language the word “hmmm” comes from! Is there a dictionary meaning of this word? I suppose no, since it is such a multi-purpose word. I've noticed something that no matter which country you belong to and what language you speak, everyone seems to understand it. Mind you, it is very addictive! Every one out of three people I meet on Orkut are addicted to it. And why not! It can be the answer to anything and everything! When you are short of words you can use "hmm". When you have a lot to say but "cannot" then also "hmm" comes to your rescue! I always relate hmm with mystery! It can mean soooo much. It fills up gaps and breaks silences. When someone is deeply engrossed in narrating to you the tale of his life and you want to assure him that you're listening and that you understand...it's always best to use hmmmm. One angry look and a stressful hmmm is enough to shake a child and stop him from picking up too many biscuits from the plate at a relative's place .One naughty smile and a sweeeeeeeeet hmmm can make your partner giggle with joy. One "innocent-puppy-dog" look in the eyes and a pleaaaaaaading hmmmmm can make your father buy you an expensive watch which you were denied earlier Seeeee, "hmmm" is such a life-saving equipment !It just depends on how you use it. Hmm (a reluctant "yes"). Hmmmm (A simple "yes"). Hmmmmmmmmmm............("I'm thinking" Note the effect of the multiple "m"s and dots :D). hmmmm(**yawn**). Hmmm?("What?"). Hmmmm???????????("Excuse me!Come again"). Hmmmm!!!!!!("Ohhhhhhhhhhhho!Ahem Ahem"). Hmm??!!&*$#@@??!!("Huh?"). UmmHmmm(As in "offffo"). hmm hmmmm hmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ("Ok!Ok!Stop !Enough!"). Smileys added along with hmm can also convey various meanings ..... Hmmm Hmmm :( ["awwww!tch tch"] Hmmm :D Hmmm :p Hmmm ;) If there was a favorite word competition,I would surely give my votes to “hmm".How about you?Hmmmm :p ??

Au revoir...

(Good bye till we meet again) In class 8th or may be in 7th, I had last visited my ancestral village in Chhindwara, there after I had kept myself busy. Each time situations built around to give a visit, I just how managed to given some flabby excuses and absconded in the jungles of books I had .Finally after getting placed thought I have entered a new domain in life and this would further restrict me from going to Chhindwara, so finally I decided to accompany my parents in this visit which they often gave without me. They share same opinion over this topic, that I must see our farmhouse and those farms which were ours during Zamidari era ,and meet the villagers who see my family with lot of respect and even share some DNA .So now , zamidars are shrinked to few acre farmhouse and fragments of land and me, a Driver cum tourist and my parents acted as guide, giving details about almost everything irrelevant to me initially, but gradually instilling in me the sense of pride and most importantly a sense of being belonging to a rich culture having a blend of royalty in it. This was my first long drive, we woke up early and left for Chhindwara, en route we performed puja and holy dip in sacred Narmada river at Hoshangabad where my maternal uncles and aunts joined us .There after journey was smooth as road was newly constructed, at some places I even raced with my uncles cruiser, they often won (Diego gratia!!!! I had a petrol engine to blame and a debutante driver).We had some tea breaks in the middle. I noticed the green fields ,canals , and we even crossed Satpuda Wild life Sanctuary on our way ,throught the journey cold was really biting and AC's heat was frequently covering dew on car's glass shield ,thus putting a veil on me and making my driving difficult ,and I can't dare to switch heaters off at that time when temperature was 3 deg. I had to wipe them off (dew) frequently making driving an irritating affair. After a lengthy journey of about Eight hours I was there in my ancestral village. I was greeted and welcomed not only that day but another days to come with so much of warmth and affection ,that in hindsight I felt ,I must have visited here very often ,the hospitality was unmatched.This village's name is Doongaria small but a prosperous country side , except a big problem of electricity. I visited my farmhouse too at Pavaama, it was same some years back except those Power Grid Tower erected on our nearby farm and a high voltage lines shadows of which parted our farm diagonally. My father articulated some of his plan regarding that farmhouse ,he is now retired and like any other retired officer he wants peace around him now ,away from city life where he cared for government and bureaucracy more than himself for Thirty long years. Where else one can get that peace, other than farmhouse.

How would you ever know if a word was mis-spelled in the dictionary?

Kaleidoscope For five days I stayed there and entire tour was rejuvenating .I also visited my maternal uncle's farm beside river and saw another one which was almost a hill ,completely covered by green layer of crops. Eating fresh Peas ,Chana,and am in the backyard of ancestral 'Haveli' roods with law beside river was a treat to my mind ,he had the same opinion as that of my father's about life at farmhouse but can't afford a retirement being a Doc.It was a family get together sort of ceremony ,my grandmother's small statue was installed in the backyard of ancestral 'Haveli' hers' was engraved on a shield of stone of about one sq.ft. She left us this Jan It was there where the second sense I stated in last line of first para aroused ,the place where this stone shield was installed in the backyard of ancestral 'Haveli' had many similar stone shields and statues .This place is our temple, where we worship our ancestors on par with god. They were arranged in about 4-5 rows my grandmothers' was fixed in fifth. Statues in 1th rows were more than 500 year old!!!! and some older statues has got buried in the back of 1st one ,as there is a custom that once installed cannot be disturbed again as this may annoy them. in the backyard of ancestral 'Haveli' Some even relate it with reincarnation .Some stone shields show my ancestors, holding and waving sword riding on a horse and some looked imported from Harappa with a good artistic work on stone .Every family member of mine will be treated the same way, some day by generations to come because the custom is alive with pride. Now more than an Infoknight (L&T's employees are called infoknight) I felt proud of being a Partety, difficult and mirth provoking to those who don't know this great culture. Finally I was here in Bhopal after a fun filled and eye opening experience, but here life is different if I fail to get a top B-school or a job, chances are there that I return to same farmhouse .Now I feel each of us must visit those places where we belong to, to see those customs and tradition which makes you what you are some one more than Hindu or a sect of it.

Trip to Tarapur Nuclear Power Station Plan the unplanned ON 11th Jan our 5th Semesters were over, and suddenly the idea of an educational tour cropped up from our HOD on the condition that we have to manage the entire tour from beginning to end with all responsibilities. I was vested with all the responsibility of planning tour like selecting the site, date and route of travel on 15th January, I proposed the final plan with much zeal and enthusiasm. Then came the time for taking the permission of responsibility from the appropriate authority, we just went on calling the appropriate authorities from the no. we got from the net. BUT! Most of the numbers were dead. So we had to take the numbers from the national directory, which in itself was not easy. After that we sent our written requests to ONGC, Ahmedabad for one of their power stations set in Ahmedabad, Tarapur thermal power station & Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL) for their Kalinadi hydropower project. Needless to say that we got Instant permission from KPCL, They also guided us to complete the rest of the details for which I am thankful to MR. Mutturayapa, Sr. Mgr. HR, KPCL. But we had hiccups in getting permission from Tarapur, as there were problems with dates. But interestingly ONGC replied there was no power station! And I knew that there was!!! However they gave us the permission. On the evening of 19th we got the final concession form from the students. We also got the advance amount and so the reservations were done. A day before I did all the remaining paperwork in college. Boarding the train (missing it for some)On 23rd January we started to board at the Bhopal station to reach Itarsi (enroute) and then to Mumbai, not to forget some students missed the train and later joined us at the Itarsi station. We reached there at 7 in morning and our next train was at 9 to Mumbai. We visited our friend's home at itarsi and had some refreshments. Back at station the train was late and it finally came at 2.00 A.M, and henceforth reached Mumbai a day later. Right at the Mumbai station we were without any accommodation, so after hours of searching we finally did get a decent living place. Tarapur Nuclear Power Station: Atoms & me On 25th morning we boarded the bus and left for Tarapur. The intermediate 4-5 hours were full of fun. After reaching first we had a presentation from sr. Mgr. HR. Then we were shown the nodal images of station and later we visited the outer plant. Later we all returned back to Mumbai by 25th midnight itself.

Kaleidoscope Dear Goa On 26th we left for Goa, a place that brings to mind the beautiful images of beaches, clear sands and sea lashing against the earth. As again without any prior accommodation and this time we didn't even get any, we spent the night in a dormitory. Goa was a different fun in itself. Unexplainable and unfathomable! Kalinadi Hydel Power Station: In evening we had some problem in getting transport for the Kalinadi, which was situated, in Ambicanagar, ss goan transports were not allowed to ply outside the state. We finally left for Kalinadi at 9:20 .We had a continuous 4 hour journey in the midst of national reserves. The sides were covered with the beautiful stretch of greenery but it was yet another of a bumpy and the road was worse than I had ever traveled. Finally we reached to the Kalinadi project at around 3. “Hill view of Kalinadi was beautiful beyond estimation; with sun setting beyond the hills it was looking ever more beautiful, I personally feel I have never seen something more beautiful before, in spite of the fact that I have visited almost every place in the North India. Then we moved to the power generating station. We were then briefed about the working, functioning of hydro alternator & switchyard. Around 6:00 we started back and at 9 were back at natural reserves accommodation. The dinner was pre arranged and since we all were hungry we attacked the food like anything. The following day we started our journey back. In all it was a unique experience.All through the journey I had taken care not to hurt anyone's sentiment and my sincere apologies to anyone whom I did. With due respect to my enthusiasm to know more about places, I wish there's more to come in the years ahead!

Two Indian Alphabets. There must be few nations or few nationalities which can be linked to more than two alphabets like we do. More than having two letters associated, it's the relevance which makes the two or for that matter even a single alphabet coherent with the mental psyche of people of that nation. Since everyone of you know that I am an Indian, so you know that it would be India of which I would be writing about. Only suspense would be the alphabets. First one, which many of you would have already guessed, and rightly so, the 'I', which defines the core of our nation. I for India, and I for everything Indian. More than that its 'I' for ourselves which is why we are Indians, or rather which is why we are the way we are. India took independence some 62 years back, and since then the alphabet I has been the most sought after alphabet among all the twenty six. Everything we do, since then, started and ended on 'I'. But 'I' alone doesn't make us unique. There is one more letter which makes us far more unique, which is far more coherent with our way of doing things than 'I', because sometimes due to some reason some people forget about 'I' and thinks about us, the Indians. The other alphabet to which I would like to bring your attention is lies far away in list, at the end. And the fact says that no one can be saved from its wrath in India. You know it, you have seen it in action and I don't think that you admire it. Its 'Q'.This very alphabet more than any other, and that includes 'I' has sucked our time for last hundred years. Where ever you move, you will see one Q (queue) in action. Lets start from the very beginning of your life. Once you were here on earth your parents had to stand in queue to get a birth certificate, later in another Q so as to get your admission in some school. Then when you were in school then daily you had to stand in queue for prayers for various other things. But this is not it, what ever we wanted we had to put our feet in some kind of Q or other. Even when we go to meet god, at his place, we had to bear the pain of Q. Now you brain might have started churning more and more experiences you had with Q, so I wont be adding up on your already existing pains. So all in all before saying ciao, I would like to put a question, how would you define an Indian intelligence and the answer is, in terms of IQ!

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

Kaleidoscope Few months back when I came out of the theatre after watching the most awaited film of the year “OM SHANTI OM” and while coming out I accidentally bumped into a friend of mine, who was standing in front of the ticket counter, in what seemed like a never-ending queue. “So, how was the film?” she asked me in breathless anticipation. I kept repeating her question in my mind for at least hundred times, but I stood speechless and could not think of even one word that could add to her jolly good mood. So I somehow manage with just few words “all the best!!”“Om Shanti Om” is not the only one that can be put into this category, but when I look at the newspaper column to have a glimpse of the theatres and the movies shown by them, truly speaking it feels like I need a reincarnation to find a movie which majority of our masses can digest.The overall concept of film making has undergone a radical change, mounted on the axle of only and only profit making. Large number of domestic theatres and overseas promotion let even a 'C' grade film to snatch its total price and gradually make a profit in the Indian commercial 'bazaaa…r' of baseless cinema with confused audience dying for a worthwhile and a truly entertaining film; thinking terribly about the loss in weight of their wallets. Movies are supposed to reflect life, but Hindi movies have always been different, escapist and melodramatic. A hero in muscles of iron and intelligence of James

A song in Bollywood is almost obligatory with actor and actress in no time reaching from Indian roads to bay beauty beaches of New Zealand, with lots of dancers coming into sight suddenly out of nowhere. I don't understand which modern high speed and high tech missile they sit upon? And what to talk about our action films and heroes! All living laws of physics, chemistry as well as mathematics fail in these films. Our single hero is equivalent to five and in some cases even equivalent to fifty, which is an anomaly to algebra. Our action planners have developed their own laws and according to these “Bollywood Laws of Action”:1.First law states that “every hero in Bollywood will remain at rest or continues to be in constant action until and unless he is compelled by a heroine or a villain to change its state of rest or of uniform action.” 2. The second law is even more exaggerating and states that “the force of punch applied on the villain is directly proportional to the strength of hero's muscles and acceleration of the deformation produced by that punch in his muscles.”

Beauty is only a light switch away.

Kaleidoscope

The third law states that “ to every action, there is thousand times more powerful reaction by the hero.” Oh my God! I am impressed, confused and full of sorrow for my fellow beings thinking whether they are witnessing an action movie or an animated cartoon of“Hanuman”,killing thousands at a time. If you really want to come out of the dark room smiling,after tolerating three hours of exaggerating torture, all you have to do is to keep your brain at home and carry some painkillers to help others relax themselves. Anyways, is it always so bad? Well miracles do happen everywhere and even our bollywood by stands some of those miracles and fortunately some good movies are also made by chance! So, with movies like “Rang De Basanti” and “Taare Zameen Par” one can hope that there will be more movies with activist themes that will seep into the public consciousness. So lets not give up completely, after all its just the intermission and …picture abhi baaki hai mere dost!

There Is No Rest for Success

Rashmi Tiwari

Success is a journey not a destination a year from now you may wish you had started today. Every beginner is a winner. Success is not escaping problems but facing them creatively. There is no success without sacrifice. Great success always calls for great sacrifice. Even failure can become an important ingredient to success. Failure just means that you have not yet succeeded. I'd rather change my mind and succeed than have my own way and fail. Success without conflict is unrealistic. Any person can be successful on smooth seas, but it is the victory over the storm that gains true honor. Success doesn't come through the way you think it comes; it comes through the way you think. Never settle for less than success. Success is doing something good. When you can, where you can, while you can. It's better to attempt to do something great and fail, than attempt to do nothing and succeed. Success is not necessarily reaching your goalbut reaching the maximum possibilities in light of the opportunities that come your way. To keep your values on target remember to live So that when you “arrive”,

First year

You'll have pride behind you And hope ahead of you. The success is truly the path to heaven. Success is never ending, because success is like the process of seed planting. Every creative contribution like a seed planted may bear fruit. Success finally is not what you have it for not what you do; it is who you are, and what you want to become of yourself.

Going to

ur p n Ka

Ask anybody 'Is going to Kanpur a hedious task?' and that person would either give you an awkward look or just ignore thinking you are mad. Even I used to think like this. But my thinking was earthquake stricken when we, the students of CSE branch (3rd semester of 2006-2010 batch) decided to attend the cultural festival 'ANTARAGNI' that was being held at IIT Kanpur from 25th October 2007 to 28th October 2007. Our mission began on 9th September 2007 when few odd 16 people gathered to accomplish a task that was not yet dreamt off in our college. It's not that people from our college had not participated in any national cultural event previously but this was the first time when the students truly represented the college. I am saying so because earlier whenever the students decided to participate in a national event like this they paid from their own pockets. This was not the college's fault but it was taken for granted that being in a govt. college, how much one tries, convincing the college officials to sponsor an event like this is almost impossible. So why crack our heads for nothing. Although we were not an exception to such thinking, we just decided to try at least once, as we had nothing to loose.

Think again

Being beginners, we hardly knew whom to approach and from where to commence. So we started off by writing several application letters to the different heads of our college which targeted to convince them to let us participate in the respective event. The list included the HODs, the director, the cultural head, the vice chancellor and a few more. To our amazement, getting the signatures was not as difficult as to find the respective person at his or her desk at the same time when we approached them. Anyway, our wild goose chase continued, keeping in mind the fact that we had to attend our classes and practicals along with the practice for the events we were participating in. Now I know 'attending classes' sounds a bit weird but our HOD agreed to sign the application letter only on the basis of our statement that we won't miss our curricular activities to attend the practice for the cultural events. So it became more necessary for us to attend the classes as we were already highlighted due to our running-around-the-mill. Scorching sun and warm loo added to the difficulties, but we hardly knew that a bigger hurdle was in its way to splurr waters on our planning. Dates of our external vivas came out.29th September 2007 was the first, giving way to the theory papers from around 16th November. For us 20, everything came to a stand still. Almost one month of running around the HODs, the director, faculties, missing classes, preparing applications and practicing after college was going to be of no use

Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.

This also reduced the number of pupils from 20 to 18.Then as if the godmother from a fairy tail came one of our computer science faculty. We told her about all the dismay and she gave us a ray of hope, assuring us that she would talk to the HOD. After a few days of negotiations and a signature from the cultural head even the HOD agreed to shift the externals. Our joy knew no bounds as we had climbed our first step to success. We were participating in 2 major cultural events being held at IIT in addition to the on the spot competitions like rangoli making, mehandi making, magazine designing etc. The major ones included a Hindi play and a free style dance. Our practice session was of two hours everyday. Since I belonged to the dramatics group, I could only tell about our 'jamming sessions'. After lot of creative thinking in the group itself we decided to ask somebody senior who already had experience in the field of dramatics. At that point, being familiar with Mr.Shrikant Apte, a renowned theatre artist we decided to ask him to direct our play. Being a very humble person he readily agreed to direct us. The first 8 to 10 days was expected to be horrible so at that time bad acting, faults in dialog delivery, bad timing, being expressionless didn't hurt much but when the play was not taking shape even after 15 days, a disappointment crept over our director and he made us understood the sincerity and dedication theatre required. From that day all of us became more serious about our work. Now it was not just another play for us, but a responsibility we were carrying to not let down our director's as well as our college's name. It was the very next day of our practice when first time our director clapped for us. This was a milestone in the period of our practice sessions. In between, our college scenario was also at its best. At this point of time we were concentrating on getting funds. Since now all of us were quite determined to go to IIT, Kanpur so it didn't really matter if we hadn't been funded by the college. But everything fell at place before going to that extent and with the kind help of a few officials we got our dues paid off. So now we were all set, 17 of us, ready for IIT Kanpur. Last but not the least, waiting for our train at the Bhopal station we decided to call our group 'dare to be different'. It suited just fine.

Chak De India!

A MYTH OR A REALITY?

“Bolt from the blues”,“India rocks”,“Chak De India”,“Hard Hitters”,“Game changers”,“Dhoni ne dho daala”… you might have guessed by now that these are some of the headlines that were seen all over the newspapers after the splendid victory of our Indian cricket team in the twenty 20 world cup finals. A reason to celebrate, of course, but this victory definitely blew off the candles of anticipation for the hockey lovers, who after the super duper hit and extensively appreciated hockey based movie-'Chak De India' hoped that the national game hockey will once again regain its esteem and importance. The huge commemoration after the twenty 20 win however made it very clear that in India, it is always going to be cricket and people can not actually dare to think anything beyond cricket. I always wonder what about cricket is so extraordinary, that even the smallest of details are given gigantic media coverage. If you flip over the channels, you would probably think that Dhoni has done something so miraculous that we ought to know the most trivial details of his life, even the number of strands of hair he has, the number of liters of milk he gulps, the girl he dates and what not. Not only media, but the government and even the common people are equally responsible for this injustice being done with the other sports over cricket. People usually jump for no reason after a single victory and very soon when India starts loosing matches; these very people march towards the players' home and burn it. Government while honoring the cricketers with huge cash rewards and other benefits totally ignores the achievements of other sports persons.

For instance, our six-pack Yuvraj Singh, who struck a twenty20 record with his 6 sixes in an over, was awarded with a cash price of Rs. Six lakhs, one for each of the sixes, while on the other hand, the victory and the hard work of the Indian hockey team in the Asia cup, got virtually unnoticed. The hockey team felt so betrayed that it forced them all to threaten a hunger strike alleging step-motherly treatment.

Everything can be filed under 'miscellaneous.

Kaleidoscope

In return to this V.V.I.P. treatment, our super hero cricketers don't play cricket on ground as much as they play it in advertisements. They must learn something from our former badminton player P. Gopichand, who after winning the England tournament, refused to all the offers to act in the add films because he didn't want his followers to buy the things which he didn't! The rage towards cricket and ignorance towards other sports among the Indian public can hardly end and the scenario will probably remain the same forever. Even movies like 'Chak De India' failed to leave a mark big enough to penetrate and sustain into the short-lived memories of Indian people.The phrase 'Chak De India' is although being used everywhere but the main motive of the film has however been forgotten. However, do you think, the movie completely failed? No, I think the movie did contribute a little to the society…the girls would probably remember… “Chak de Chak de, ek hockey doongi rakhke”,wasn't that a great shot??

Nobel Prize Alfred Nobel was a scientist, inventor, entrepreneur and author. He had discovered dynamite but then he felt this could lead to mass destruction. So he laid the foundation of Nobel Prize in `1895, when Nobel wrote his last will. He left much of his wealth to the establishment of Nobel Prize. It has honored persons with outstanding achievement since 1901 in the field of medicine, physics, chemistry, peace and economics. MAHATMA GANDHI, THE MISSING LAUREATE. DOES HE DESERVED THE NOBEL PRIZE.? Mahatma Gandhi was nominated five times for Nobel Prize -1937, '38, '39, '47 and '48. People in India unabashedly believed that he should have been the proud recipient, but the majority of the jury didn't think that way.They were critical of him.They felt that Gandhi's thinking was very narrow minded which results from the fact that he had struggled for giving equal status to Indians against white people in South Africa. But he had done nothing for black people in SA who were in much worse condition than Indians. Black people in those times were made slaves and suffer from category of inhuman exploitation. Even then Gandhi's focus was not there. In my opinion his policies were not clear. For example, when he started non cooperation movement people supported him. Students left schools and colleges burned their books. But after the chauri- chaura incident, he suddenly took back the non cooperation movement without thinking of the students who had left the schools and colleges and who would not be given admissions again. This created anger in youth at that time. This unrest invited wide criticism, but as like many others went unnoticed until Bhagat Singh who was a victim of the same difficulty voiced. In all of this and more, there were many aspects which went unwritten into the golden pages of history, went shadowed and were finally covered by the mist of time that had no records for those who were common, miserable and unwanted. And so for the entire cult of unsung hero's I say I am “for” the Nobel committee's decision. That certainly does not make me an anti-gandhian philosopher, infact he was amongst those few leaders who were revolutionary and who dared to change for the basic cause of humanity. Respect for him is unfathomable. But so is my respect for the wrong is indomitable. Therefore, in my opinion, Gandhi does not deserve the Nobel Prize. Ed Speak: The views are entirely that of the writer and bear no offence to any religion, philosophy and emotions whatsoever.

Often me reflect with gall About changes and latest trends; The fact that is accepted by all Before fashion our knee bends

For latest trends me throng. Fashion touches many lives Leads from bhajans to pope Fashion of dresses; Husbands & wives Will it continue or will it stop?

Same the culture we inherit Its rich & varied, high in post, The truth that brings discredit We address it as backward most!

Fashion lies with us today Adopt it and manifest our thinking Take it and change it anyway Don't leave it, saying its sinking

Dear, Fashions are inevitable Fashions are unpredictable Fashions can be of any kind For fashions come from man's mind.

Fashion and culture are intertwined Styles oft repeat themselves Why this relation is denied? Designs come from culture's shelves

From dhotis to bell botts to Baggies Where the lie will end, I don't know Saris to skirts to minis Shorter the clothes, more to show!

With optimism, thus I conclude Hoping you'll agree with me From fashions vulgarity exclude Then, the beauty of fashions you see

Pottermania!! - A muggle's Viewpoint So why it is Harry potter such a worldwide phenomenon? From the first installment of the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone, it has captured the imagination of the population like none other. The final installment of Harry potter series released worldwide- Harry potter & the deathly hallows- Bringing about the final confrontation between Harry potter and Lord Voldemort. Harry potter fans world over had been waiting for it with baited breath. This frenzy is whipped up to such a level that you end up looking like a dork if you haven't read nay of those books. Harry potter started off an as children' book. But as harry the character got older; the book too grew to be relatively darker and started addressing a wide range of topics that adults as well as adolescents could identify with. Also remember the readers who read the first books have all grown up now. So its a credit to JK Rowling that she has been able to maintain the interests of both the grown ups and kids in the series. Children love the series because it opens up an entirely new world to them, a world of magic& amazement. But Rowling has interwoven this magical world with parallel from real world. From the rigours of daily school activities and homework, to intense competition and rivalry between the houses; there won't be a child on the planet that couldn't identify with his troubles. Every child would have friends like hermione and Ron. Every child at some stage of his schooling would have encountered a nemesis malfoy. Every school will have its own favorite sport, like quidditch is the flavor for everyone in hogwarts. However its not all fun and games in harry potter world. Rowling candy flosses the topic of racism.The hatred of pure blood wizards (those born in magical families) towards smuggles (non magical people like yours truly) and smuggle born is amazingly similar to racist overtones I how the real world. She touches upon the slavery in how the waizardeing world would treat elves, their servants in the book. It's also a story of above all good and evil. Lord Voldemort must rank alongside some of the greatest literary villains of all time. His quest for immediately mirrors the secret dark desire that we all posses. Harry potter is the antithesis of voldemort even though he shows a rather large disregard for following the rules. He embodies everything that lord Voldemort is not. He is a tragic orphan whose parents are murdered by the former almost inevitable. There has been criticism of these books from various quarters. From Catholics to critics, all have threshed the books for various reasons. But if these books are stepping stones for kids to cultivate the habit of reading books then what is the harm in it. Or maybe we all are taking these books just a bit too seriously and forgetting the primary function these books were written for, to have some plain unadulterated fun so get on your firebolts and fly into the world of Harry Potter and his friends and rest.

Rock Is Here To Stay

Metallica, Guns and Roses, Pink Floyd, you guys know them all. But this article is all about letting you guys know about the Arcanum known as “Indian Rock”.The cavalcade of rocking jam sessions of the bands like Mystics to concerts of the bands like Zero, the folklore of Indian rock is here. There has long been a rock movement in India especially in cities like Mumbai, Calcutta, New Delhi, Madras and Bangalore. Lounge acts, including swing bands were popular in 1950's, decade after British left. Later in 1970's, the polydor, a German label began an Indian label distributing rock music. From here the actual Indian rock started.The bands which kicked off were “Mystiks” from Mumbai, “Beat-X” from Madras and “Flinstones” from Calcutta. This growing rock and roll scene was copacetically joined by“Junior Statesman”.The band members mainly comprised of students and undergraduates. With the arrival of MTV, tastes rapidly changed. People started following underground styles of music like death metal, progressive rock, thrash and heavy metal etc. Bands formed in 80's such as rock machine (later known as Indus Creed) altered their style with the influx of newer techniques from west. The Indian sub-genre of fusion, which encourages a similar blend of ancient Indian music traditions with rock music to“Raga Rock”,was also carried forward. “Exodus”- a power rock trio ruled the rock scene in 80's-90's in India.The band also featured India's first female singer Pearl. And here we are today, we have Zero, Parikrama, Thermal and Quarter, Motherjane, Bhayanak Maut, the list is endless.These men are making the country proud overseas. Rock is penetrating into the hearts of people in metros as well as smaller towns of India. Rock is permeating colleges, schools, campuses and everywhere. The new era of Indian music and I stress on INDIAN MUSIC (not a music of western people as thought by crab-minded people in India) is still on and will make it big someday. It will over power closedminded so called “musicians”of India. ROCK IS HERE TO STAY

SSB Allahabad- Chest No. 17 It was a season of excitement, a season everybody was waiting for college to begin, starting by 21st of September. My excitement was further on a high tide as my call letter for SSB interview was to him my door in 2 to 3 days. It came and brought mixed emotions, uneasiness on my fathers face and I of course was happy. Call letter said that I was to report at Allahabad on 21st of September by 7:00 am. It will be a seven day physical and mental torture to get selected, and then a medical test which will take more out of you. The hardest part for me in whole process was not go for the interview, but was to convince my father to allow me to go there. After two days of sincere efforts my father agreed and half the job was done. Wildness of forest fire was matching my preparations for SSB, it became a mania for me. I almost consulted everyone I knew, books, physical exercise, interview questions became colleagues. The day came and the train number 2124 arrived on the platform number three, reservation chart said that berth number 26 of coach S-6 belonged to Vaibhav Khare. I occupied my seat and luckily I got one of my friends going to the same place. Journey became lot easier, journey became a pleasure for me, and we enjoyed every bit of it. There were a heap of candidates at the railway station, waiting for the vehicle to arrive. I almost lost myself in those long, wide, emotionless faces. Anyways it did not take much time for all of us to become friends. After reaching the centre the necessary documentation was done, and I was given chest number 17, my new identity. The 'Subedar' showed us the way towards our barracks and also dictated next day schedule. It said we were to get up at 5 am in the morning and report at the testing ground by six. Then a psychology test and then the day will be called off. Probably it was the first time in my life that I woke up that early, took a bath.Test was pretty good and I did my level best. The barracks provided were the perfect example of 'unity in diversity', people from almost all the states, north, south, east, west, were all brought to single room. Everybody shared about their culture and felt proud on that. The day went by and so did different tests. The officers did their job immaculately, and we also didn't do any thing which was not void. The most important part in my test was the interview, Brigadier Khanna was a stout personality, but was a cool guy. He was more interested in my friends of opposite gender; you can call them 'girl friends'. He excavated every thing about them, even those which I discovered that day itself. I really enjoyed my interview. Last day was the conference day; results were to be announced, the moment for which all of us worked so hard. He came and said, “Arun and Ashwin are selected”. I felt bad, but The process of shaking hands started, and tears in eyes of some candidate could not stop themselves from feeling the gravity. Those 7 days have become an integral part of my life. My eyes are getting heavy I suppose, and will probably need a handkerchief now.

Switch It Off A photograph says a thousand words. That is why television,” the source of talking pictures”, dominates our lives and all channels of communication in this information age. But dominating does not always mean it is the best. After watching cable TV for a year, I have come to the conclusion that newspapers are a far better and worthwhile option. Of course, TV has its own positives, but I feel newspapers have more. First the biggest advantage of news papers is that readers don't need to alter their schedule or pace of life for reading them. In the case of TV you've to adjust your schedule according to the timing of your favorite programs.These days when everyone considers time is money, reading a newspaper means saving a lot more of it. Second you can watch only one program at a time .The remote control stays in the hands of one person, who dictates the choices of others. But this is not so with newspapers. Family members can read different pages according to their interests and availability of time. Next of course, are those irritating advertisements! Newspapers don't compel you to read them. You can flip the pages or just throw the ad supplements away. But on TV, there is absolutely no way out. Watching a movie or a discussion on TV has become a nightmarish experience. Jokes apart, let's come to the moot point. TV information is so rapid that it does not give you time to think, analyze, evaluate and form your own opinion. Consequently, viewers become slave to the opinion makers but where as newspapers are concerned, read them at your own pace, analyze each item and build your own opinion. So after knowing so much, would I ever leave newspapers for an idiot box? No, I am not such an idiot.

True merit is like a river, The deeper it is, The less noise it makes. At the birth place of any river the depth is very less. As the length of river increases, the depth also increases but due to increase in breadth of river its speed decreases. And thus that decreases its noise.In the same way a child (just to come into existence) cries as much as possible. This sound increases till one to two years, after that the knowledge starts increasing, and the noisy cry changes into sweet words. As ones age increases the knowledge increase and the depth of experience increases along with the responsibilities. That decreases the free time. That decreases noisy words. Now the comparison of life with river is a common thing but the comparison of merit with depth is a new one. But, I feel this is the greatest one. It is quite true that our merit determines our behavior. A good merit holder is a man of few words. Accordingly in Hindu mythology, great men used to meditate and do listen to one another, they related to the inner voice. They realized that they have a greater knowledge that can only be understood without making any type of noise. “Life is not easy to understand for a human”, one who knows it never makes noise and clearly it is realize by few people in our world. As they are scholars they have deeper knowledge to explore which can not be done by any particle of noise. Thus, the depth detects, noises intensity, The knowledge detects, voice's intensity.

Do it now

If you have a kind word to say, say it now If you have something to give, give it now If you can make someone glad Do it now. Do it now. Before it is too late. Now is the time for every good deed, Do not wait until tomorrow. For it may be just a little too late. If there's good news to give, Give it now. If there is friendship to show, show it now If there is love to show, show it now.

What hangs on a lamppost? Recently a Supreme Court judge said that all judges should be hanged from a lamppost. The subsequent reactions of legalists & media man were on course. But let us move from events to issues & go from controversy to course. If a survey is conducted about the unscrupulous of our politician, then most of the people will agree with the SC judge. There are laws to exterminate corruption built laws such as prevention of corruption act doesn't seem to have any teeth at all .An abysmally small numbers of people are convicted the ones in the net are only small fishes, the shark swim effortlessly out of the net. When was the last time that you saw a politician behind bars on the corruption charges? The prevention of corruption act [CGPA] is built on the provision that deals with having wealth disproportionate to your known sources of income. With this provision, one can think that this will be a wonderful law for our politicians. Correct. Ah! But not now the chief reason lies within the act in the investigating and prosecution machinery of the government. So why on earth, a politician will impeach himself through his own government. Even if a politician is indicted, the best lawyers engender a plethora of procedural and hyper-technical objectives, that this black turned white money can arrange. And once a court admits any of these, the case thereafter rests in peace, till someone comes and exhumes it. (But this never happens except of bitter rivalry in politics) Let us exemplify some of these famous (or notorious) objections. One of the most common objections is that all the documents are in English and our Hindustani Netaji doesn't know this language, so what if he has lawyers speaking flawless English. The voluminous documents thus must be translated. One more very common objection regarding the legal validity of the special courts that are created to try high placed politicians is that it takes minimum of a couple of years in our legal system for a high court to decide about this special court. There are many more of these trivial but very effective objections. We really don't see judicial orders mandating time bound schedules for the trials even after long months of rigmarole. So what can be possible solutions, well one of them can be to make the trial on a day-to-day basis, so that the courses can be dealt with as soon as possible. There must be an exit policy, that shows any corrupt politicians or bureaucrat, a door into the prison cells & this will surely bring the much needed deterrence and cleaner public life. As for the comments on the hon'ble judge much of the words of Lord Keynes are very much appropriate. “Words ought to be a little wild if they are the assaults of thought on the unthinking”

CLIMATE CHANGES: - GLOBAL WARMING At last it is being accepted by most of us around the world that our climate is changing.The Nobel Prize 2007 was awarded to Al Gore and the inter governmental panel on climate change is very timely, as it not only recognizes the contributions of former vice president of US & UN body but also serves to focus international attention on this important environmental issue.Human and natural drivers of climate change includes changes in the abundance of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4 , NO) that traps heat and prevents it from radiating out into the space. Aerosols (example: - dust) in our Atmosphere, changes in solar radiations and changes in the properties of the land surface largely caused by human actions add to the already vulnerable cause. Greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere has increased enormously as a result of human activity since 1750.The increase in CO2 is primarily due to the use of fossil fuels. There is a very strong scientific evidence to indicate that the final effect of human induced climate change is one of increasing air and ocean temperature around the world. Nearly 80% of this increased heat is being absorbed by the ocean and it has caused warming to depths up to 3000mts, the warm sea water expands and contributes enormously to the rising of sea level. Glaciers, ice and snow cover have decreased rapidly all over the world as a result of the increased temperatures and has also contributed to rise in sea level .Sea levels have been raising at an average 1.8mm per year 1961 to 2003 and at a much faster rate in 1993 to 2003 with no sign of slowing down.Wide spread changes in patterns of rainfall, wind ocean salinity & extreme weather including heat waves, draught ,intensity of tropical cyclones and very heavy rainfall have also been established . All these changes have had severe and negative impact on most forms of life including human beings. Agriculture has been affected by the increasing unpredictability of the climate .with the accelerated and intense melting of glaciers the perennial water flows in major river system including the Ganga is being threatened. Human impact on global climate system is so strong that even if we are to instantly stop all activities that contribute to climate change, the global temperature is still expected to increase at .1degree centigrade per decade for the next 2 decade.

End of the world by 2012 Disclaimer: This piece of information is highly authentic. Source: 'The History Channel' It began with the ancient Mayan civilization when a researcher noticed that its calendar was only up to 2012 23 December. let me tell you that their calendar is more accurate than the present calendar which we are using and can foretell lunar and solar months almost accurately(even of more than 1000 years). But one can't claim the end of the world because of a calendar. A few month's later, a computer software which predicts future almost accurately every time when a big calamity is on the brink, foresaw 9/11 attack predicted end of world by 2012. So what? There have been many predictions in the past about the end of the world but every time they turned out to be mere dodges. Moreover we need scientific evidence, read this: Scientists have discovered that magnetic poles of earth keep drifting every 1000 years. But they have evidences that on 2012, magnetic poles will change their axis drastically which will cause disaster because rotation of earth will become unstable, thus the end. So what? Even if I'm right we can't do anything to stop it and if we all have to die at once then it will be. It is not in our hands. What I want is that this theory should spread like a wildfire. May be then the world will see eternal peace. How? It is said that when an end is near then the person tends to be more peaceful, compassionate, selfless and brotherly. Just imagine yourself forgetting hostility with your worst enemy. Just imagine the local grocery seller selling you with utmost compassion and of corruption evils just free of love. Envision the utopia where everyone preaching gospel. No terrorism, no Iraq war, no Kenyan war, no Serbian violence, no riots, no hatred, just mankind at its best, something more than a revolution. Then perhaps God will have pity over poor souls and vanquish the impending calamity for even if the calamity occurs, the one above is sorry for this.

Never underestimate the hurt that someone else might be undergoing: if you know anybody who injures himself or herself, take him to a psychiatrist or counselor as soon as possible, since we are not adequately equipped to deal with it.Who knows, we might be in need of similar care from someone tomorrow, and though we might hate our helper for taking us to a shrink, later in life we will definitely thank him for giving us a new lease on life

Red.The Colour of Memory Sagar sat by the window, looking out at the city below. There was a steady sheet of rain pouring over the entire vista before him, bending light at surreal angles. Everywhere the sepulchral dark of the night, slowly undulating through the curtains of rain, was punctured by the violent oranges and sickly yellows of sodium lamps and flashing headlights. Mumbai was in a rush to scurry homewards, to the dry piece of earth it had managed to steal from a hostile world. “Ma! Ma!” cries the small boy, his broad curls shorn to a violent crew cut. Unable to make himself heard over the occasional bang of cupboard doors and the high muttering voice speaking half to itself, the boy sidles over to his mother clad in a red dressing gown, clutching a bunch of red canna flowers in his left hand, which he keeps behind his back in a desperately half-hearted attempt to hide them. His mother, agitated over something, continues rummaging aimlessly in her cupboard, speaking to herself. A deep sigh escaped his mouth, the only outward sign of his inner turmoil. Looking at his smooth forehead and smiling lips, nobody would have suspected the depth of the agony he experienced. It was only when you looked at his hands, knuckles beginning to turn white, fists clenched, that the rage was visible. His eyes, either constantly darting about nervously or fixed in a cold, dead contemplation of nothingness, were opaque with sadness. He looked at the empty can of beer that had fallen to the floor, which he had crushed in his hand without realizing it.

A cigarette is a pinch of tobacco, wrapped in paper, fire at one end, fool at the other.

Total Recall

The child cowers in fear, looking at the red canna scattered on the floor. He had spent so much time collecting them from the pond nearby, nearly slipping in the mud. They lay strewn all about him, on the floor and on the neatly folded saris on the bed. You son of a bitch! Are you crazy? Are you deaf? How many times have I told you” Slap “not” Slap “to come” Slap. Slap. “to my” Slap. Slap. Slap. Slap. Slap. “ROOM! Haven't I told you to get out of my life? The next time you show me your disgusting little face, “she looks about hysterically, her left eye twitching wildly now. The child's face is stained with tears, spit and phlegm. His left cheek, which was swollen because of a cavity in his milk teeth, is stinging very badly, hurting from inside. “Ma! Happy birthday Ma! It's our birthday!” “Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear Sagar, happy birthday to me…” sang a clear, pleasant voice, shaking slightly towards the end. The rise and fall of the ditty was accompanied by a waving finger conducting an invisible opera.The cheerfulness of the voice seemed all the more eerie when juxtaposed with the manic, unfocused look in his eyes and his rhythmically rocking body. He sat huddled on the floor.The lone candle on the cake had already left a mount of molten wax on the icing. “Don't remind me! I hate sharing this day with you! I should have killed you the second you were born, except that it was YOU,” she screamed, flinging bottles of her expensive Chanel red nail polish at the child, “who nearly killed ME!” One bottle, which was open, flew through the air, sending red nail polish across the room, and struck the child above his right eyebrow, drawing blood. A few cracked on the floor, leaving puddles of red slush. Another struck a mirror and sent some shards of glass in the room. “I hate you! I hate myself for giving birth to such a filthy piece of useless junk like you!” her flailing arm suddenly struck a mirror and it started bleeding very badly. Thin rivulets of blood covered her arm, and she screamed in pain and rage.“Get out of\my life and never come back! Get lost!” Her voice now touched an ugly, high-pitched tone as she tottered her way across the room. Her soles were punctured with shards of the broken mirror, and left grotesque, red footprints on the white marble floor.

Total Recall The child, scared to the bone, tried to slide backwards on his hands and feet.The glass cut into him in many places, and he could hear his mother shout, “I hate you! It's because of you that Anand left me! It's because of you that I can't have my beautiful girl!” Crying now because of the pain, the child grabbed the few petals of canna remaining in his hands and half ran, half crawled out of the beautiful room, now almost entirely red in his terrified imagination. He could still hear her shouting, “You made me barren, you bloody piece of sleaze!” Red.The colour of forgetfulness …How cold the metal felt against his skin. The light from the sole lamp still lit in the aesthetically designed room reflected glacially from the razor. He again felt it against his chest, already scarred with many lines. He felt in love with his own body, his skin is so soft, so supple and light.The blade cuts it so easily, the blood flows so quietly in streaks across his chest, that he marvels at the machine that must have sharpened the edge of the razor. He slowly pulled it downwards towards his stomach, carefully lifting the blade till it was only the point of the razor that cut ever deeper.Wincing with pain, he reached out for the bottle of vodka at his side, and with all his pent up vengeance slashed at his forearm, sending more drops of blood on the floor. Laughing and in pain, he poured the entire content of the bottle on his head. “Happy birthday, Ma!” As the vodka singed into his fresh wounds, the pain reached a blinding white heat, temporarily blocking the red from his mind. “Happy birthday to us…” And he let out another deep sigh. The only witness to this silent scream of years of unresolved guilt and pain was the Moon, shining steadily in the sky as the clouds parted.

Rise of bakras on V day! After going through the recent trends, a usual thought came to my mind that why do always guys pay or spend money on Valentine's Day. I am sure many of you would have noticed that it's always the guy who buys flowers, gifts, Archie's stuff for the gal on this day who only get flattered after getting these goodie stuffs and simply giggle but when their turn comes they hardly ever open their purse J At the end only guys end up becoming a 'bakra'.... when will that time come when, 1) The guy will give a miss call and gal will call up ;) 2) The guy will wake up to find out that he got N number of missed calls and GM/GE mszs 3) The gals will open their purse without even looking at the guy (or expecting) in restaurants. 4) Guys will get gifts and simply giggle after getting roses from gals on V day or rose day. P.S.: I am not against gals but these are just r a n d o m t h o u g h t s have a nice time!

“ SAILING BACK HOME” In the windy storm my ship gallows; Ups n downs the deathly hallows. The bergs are ready, the drowning mountains; The sails umpteen, the shores so shallow. When the sun dwindles, along the redness follows, The birds honk away to the old south with the pelting Showers n turbulent waves; They fly towards an unending voyage...............

Finally, I am sailing home after a long ordeal; Pompous my heart yet so lethargic I am. Wonder if I could make up to thee… Could i be lucky to see thee... Finally a chance to say I love you Yet miles depart us....

i am down with shields, cankered the spaces, pain is what follows, Broken body with the hope against the hope hopen! Could i make up to my beloved?

The darkness of the night brings forth the deafening silence; Passage so blurred with the rains so shrewd, Up come the tyrant shadows of clouds; Firmament is heavy, melancholy the sounds. Is it a pre-storm caveat or a post-traumatic air? Something is surely wrong somewhere!

Then came the strong uproar, the lightening that was raucous to the shores; Crumbled my ship rest in pieces; Withered the deck it blows away my giftees.. Blood blood water water every where!!!!!!!

Those eyes are on the door, Every knock reminds them of the lover's chores. They await the footsteps made for them, An eternal wait for the beloved's hem. Up thou come, down thy here, still a wait, and wait n wait......

And here I remain, shattered my sighs, counting breaths as the minute tickles. I am loosing counts with passing time, Death standing at this door waiting for my “last sigh"! Lots intended to do, before wading the shore.

A seminar on time travel will be held in two weeks ago.

I have started panting, things getting blurred; Wish i could see my beloved, last wish galore. I closed my eyes & glanced her beautiful attire, Fairy she is, my lover she is, away away far away she is……….. I put a hand afore wishing a tender hold, Trembling fingers searching my beloved's touch.. She's nowhere not here but she's in my heart in my mind in my soul; And i take her in my thoughts to an unending journey

Journey beyond death!!!!!!!!!!! Hence, the last breath and a depart from the world, Gone away is my soul away away away..............! Those eyes still awaits the road ahead, he will come, has to come sure to come. Less she knows the soul had parted, With never mending gaps amidst. Still those eyes await, longing for the footsteps ahead; Lesser she knows I lie within her Heart ----forever and ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lesser she knows we will meet in the eternal paradise; A rendezvous of rosés, blossoms delight. But she still waits for me at that door, with her eyes so wet, Her arms a fold, still in the hope of my return; Lesser she knows I lie within her Heart -----------FOREVER AND EVER..........................

I sat in a puddle of dreams of my age Clasped in my hands the sands of time... Smelt the freshness in the breeze Stared at the galaxies, the beauty sublime... I tasted the salt run down my cheeks As I held close the glitters of the wild. Amazed by the dark opulence, so clear.. My thoughts so intense, my heartbeat so mild...!! saw love quietly step into my life… Didn't allow the moments to shake Waited till the feeling tickled my heart.. Prayed for the reverie, not to break.. I filled in my pockets all I could. The crescent, the tide, the shore, the star.. But the moment brimmed over bounds.. In and over my soul, so deep, so far..

It is a tamasha and everybody wants to be a part of it and rest watch it from sides. But none goes without hearing from it. Welcome to the Great tamasha of our times: Who wants to be a millionaire oops! I mean who wants to do an MBA?

The Great B-School Tamasha

Why is everyone rushing to it? Because it is the new gold rush of our times and quite literally so. Business magazines run a story of B-Schools and its sales go all-steam. Professional institutes-small time and big-TIME coaching centers crop up all across city to be a partner in race to big B-Schools of country. Thousands splashed in newspapers, billboards and traffic squares and City buses! No doubt- Iron Age, Ancient Age, Medieval Age, Modern Age…..Age of Management ?

TAMASHA

Each year the no. of aspirants are increasing, this year 2.30.000 MBA aspirants took part in exams. CAT, FMS, IIFT, JMET, SNAP, XAT…but only the top 1% made it to top ten Institutes of India.A question arises which are the top ten institutes of India…And I don't think I have any answer to it, or for that sake any sane entity will have any Definite answer.(And please don't go by the crappy ratings of the magazines which might even rate Symbiosis better than some IIMs ) I will give you some idea of this at the end of this feature. The thing is less than 2300 students make it to top ten or less than 1% of appearing junta. Next year the c o m p e t i t i o n w i l l b e t o u g h e r, appearing junta is said to increase to 3,00,000. This year three students from our college made it to top ten institutes. We are including their interviews in the following pages.

IIFT : Interview. Candidate:Yash Saxena Date: 16 Feb, 2008 Venue: IIFT, New Delhi I enter the room. There are three people An old lady (A), and two young men (B,C) & me (I).They ask me to sit down. And keep my files on the adjoining chair. B:What is that in your hand? (Referring to the college magazine 'WAYS', instant attention held by the very colorful cover)

I:That is our college magazine and I have designed the cover page of it. B: (takes the magazine in hand) So what does it signify I: sir it signifies the cosmos and the human mind exploring it….the way human intellect is exploring the deepest corners of space….blah blah…those bright spots are stars….blah blah. A: So why you should go into designing field why do you want to become a manager?

I: ma'am I think my creativity can also flow into business world, I can come up with out of the box solutions. C: 'Out of the box' solutions, give me an example of it.

I : Gave an Example and some analysis figures as support. C: So yash you were deputy education minister in your school, so give me two steps that you will take as a finanace minister. I: sir first I will continue the reforms secondly I will encourage tourism C: no you are finance minister not tourism minister I: As finance minister I will give a huge allocation to tourism. A: ok yash what kind of budget are you expecting this time? I: ma'am budget this time will be populist, inspite of all that P Chidambaram might want to do, other MPs would coerce him into giving a populist budget. A: give me two reasons why do you think budget will be populist? I: first I have read that the (govt.) is going to waive the loan of the farmers.The total expanse will be 60,000 crore, even if they put a cess the total amount collected will be 8000 crore. I am not able to figure out where are they going to bring the rest of money. Secondly, I have also read that they are going to raise the minimum support price of the food grains. C: so yash what is the total percentage of people employed in agriculture? I: 60% C: and what is total contribution to the GDP? I: 15% Cano its not 15% but I will give it to you. So is there any point in uplifting the agriculture sector as it contributes only 15%?

I: I think there are millions of people in agriculture and they certainly need to be uplifted. C: So what's the problem in waiving of farm loans? I: Sir, we already make noise about lack of farm credit and if we waive off farm loans it will further give a wrong signal to private investor. Before someone comes to invest his money we will have to convince him that this is a good sector, profitable one to invest.Why would one invest in a risky sector? A: But if you do realize that farmers are in a poor position then why cant we give them some benefits, relief?

I: Because Indian government welfare schemes are not focused properly, only 15% of what Indian government spends reaches the actual targeted persons. A: (Expresses surprise) 15% that means if you spend 5 lakhs… I: then only 75,000 reach them.. A: Is it true? (Looking towards other panelists), from where did you get the figure? I: Sir it was given by Rajeev Gandhi..

A: Rajeev Gandhi…? So is it necessary for India to keep spending for the poor? I: yes sir India is a socialist country..so…. A: Socialist, (here they got something to harass me on) Is India a socialist country? I: yes sir, India is a welfare state. A: So what is America? I: Sir, they rely on free market mechanism to achieve welfare for their people. A: So why do you think India is socialist? I: Sir its written in the preamble that India is a socialist, democratic etc etc…. B: Its written in the preamble! (Or ? I really don't know) Some gibbering going on… B: you are making too many assumptions… Some more gibbering going on…. B: Ok you can leave..

I:Thank you ma'am,Thank you sir* 2 … PS: The old lady in the middle has among many others things, has been a Advisor to National Planning Commission, Govt. of India.

This year we had six calls from the top ten. But only three got converted, the ratio is not bad. Perhaps the ratio fails to capture the great uncertainties that The Great B-School Tamasha bring to our lives….

Converted Calls

Data for Top 10 B schools for UIT-RGPV The greatest of the competitors fall without a mark and the heroes are born overnight. Nobody really knows who gets rich and lucky. Only one thing is sure If you put in the hardwork there is some chance that it will not go waste. But what kind of hardwork? I think an intelligent mix of 2-3 kinds….So how many kinds of hardwork? At least three kinds of which I know1.Slogomania- Slog, slog and slog. Really burn the night oil and bunk the classes and study damn hard. Working with single focus, passion and workmanship of an Ant to see through. Sometimes people who follow this strategy restrict themselves to one room and the only thing they go out for is to attend coaching classes and tests. 2.Play it cool or By the dint of confidence: Wondering what kind is this? In this strategy you don't need to study very hard but just studying enough, apprising yourself of all the material but in a lighter way. By studying light you never feel like in a crisis and you don't take excessive load of performing on your head, you don't get nervous (remember CAT is a game of nerves, confidence much more) but all the while simple study schedules keep you in good humor. I can give you examples of people who studied very hard but lost due to excessive anxiety and fear of not performing .So this strategy sometimes also justifies surprise results. Point is when you really play it easy you might end up giving the performance of your life.

3.Reflection of life: Once my instructor told me that your performance in aptitude tests is a reflection of your life. It's a test for the skills that you have learnt all your life. Wondering what skills? I have an answer to it at the end. I agree to some extent with this for written round but the thing is almost certain in interview round. So a lot of times people with outstanding profiles and extra curricular brilliance simply sail through these exams…Notable are some IITians who make it to these schools don't even prepare it. They probably have prepared for it all their lives. And then there are others. Moral of the story is that keep participating in extra-curriculars, you never know when it all will make you rich.. getting back to what skills? If you have had interest in reading for pleasure (Im not counting Sidney Sheldon stuff or may be one night at ….. kinda books in it. These books might be interesting but my personal view about what they contribute to your reading skills is that they contribute minimally except getting you started), skills like interest in current affairs mags, newspapers, giving presentations, making reports, speeches, elocutions, debates ala and all. And interesting you will discover that if you are in the right company you may end discussing important GD topics as a matter of daily conversations.(Have an eye for a future GD). Plus have a backbone-That is have an opinion about things around you. Having an opinion is better than having having none.Those who have an opinion will naturally have more to discuss in a GD. 4.Other Kinds that I don't know about: (fill yourself ) …………………………………………… So continuing the saga I have seen all of them failing and all of them succeeding and perhaps none more than other so I would say very difficult to predict any formula. Sometimes sheer variability of results astounds us. You never know what might click except the golden rule- 'Hardwork pays' remains somewhat true. Just some guesstimates- Every 7 out of 10 men who make it big are hardworkers also every 7 out of 10 hardworkers make it. Either way working hard at the end of the day puts you in safe zone! So in this great B-School tamasha you may see even the topper of your institute failing it to make it anywhere and sometimes underdogs making merry. Therefore even if it's a branded-wagon to get the India's best minds getting on it is tough, getting tougher by the day. “Tomorrow is getting harder, Make no mistake. Luck isn't even lucky, make your own break. Its my life And it's now or never.”

Interview: XLRI Candidate: Asif Zafar Khan Date: After the normal course of introduction, the first question they asked was Que:-Don't you thing watching movies is a pastime and you have mentioned it as your hobby? Ans:-Sir, Hobby is something in which you give a good amount of time and gain something out of it. So watching movies is a hobby for me. Que:-What have you learned from movies? Ans:-Sir, Movies like “Mississippi Burning” made us aware about the Civil rights movement of United States and thus generates overall awareness. Que:-What do you know about the Civil rights movement, role of Martin Luther King and the US President of that time? Ans:-I vomited out everything in front of the interviewers whatever I knew about the Civil rights movement. Que:-Tell us something about the Civil rights movement in India? Ans:-I quoted various examples of social reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy etc. and explained the present scenario of caste system in India especially in Eastern U.P. Que:-Ok, Presently,What measures are being taken by the Government to have the social reforms? Ans:-I told them about the establishment of Ajax stations and the different education schemes. Que:-In this educated society, why this casteism is still prevalent? Ans:-Sir, today people are educated but they don't have rational education. [I gave my views regarding rational education].

Que:-What was the role of B.R. Ambedkar and Jyotibha Phule in India? Ans:-I thoroughly explained about the two. Que:-Let's talk about Maths, how much you remember? Ans:-Sir, Maths up to 12th standard. Que:-Which section was your favourite? Ans:-Algebra [Then they asked me a question on Matrices and I couldn't answer it]. Ok, we will talk about Economics. Que:-What is Sensex? Ans:-I talked about Sensitivity Index. Que:-What do you know about FMCG's and why are they called so? Ans:-I told them the full form and just guessed why they are called so. Que:-Hindustan Lever Limited's new name? Ans:-Sir, I know that a merger has taken place but don't remember the new name. Then I was asked some technical questions. I answered them satisfactorily. Lastly, they asked about the Blood and Eye donation camp conducted in the college. Fine, Ok thanks. Good day Sir Que:-Hindustan Lever Limited's new name? Ans:-Sir, I know that a merger has taken place but don't remember the new name. Then I was asked some technical questions. I answered them satisfactorily. Lastly, they asked about the Blood and Eye donation camp conducted in the college. Fine, Ok thanks. Good day Sir First there were engineers and then they became managers. Changing times, Changing patterns but one thing remains same. We love big time money.We want to Acquire Big-time Money and whoa I just spelt MBA backwards- Acquire Big-time Money. I think that the sudden interest with words, vocab and English which for the last many years was deemed fit to be in grave with the Shakespeare by the layman has suddenly got everyone interested. Don't tell me you haven't heard of Freud or Bertrand Russell (of course taking their name in the same vein is a blasphemy!).We have come across them in our VA passages and again when we curse their wisdom for the sheer mayhem they just created in our VA scores! And then we just suddenly fall in love with the tables.Yes data tables, pie charts suddenly seem an integral part of our life's pie. All the fractions and reciprocals become the new romance of life. But hey we are getting off-track. The track is we want too see the dollar-lining on this dark cloud and sizzling pinkslips at the end of this intellectual harassment. Honesty and Integrity of a person is the most important thing to look for in a prospective candidate but its not an essential quality. You can make it even otherwise. But again what is Honesty and Integrity is most often a personal opinion. Nothing is black & White in this world instead what we have here is an infinite shade of grey. Infinite shade of grey!

Interview: IIFT Candidate: Arpit Gandhi

Introduce Yourself…. A: I gave my Introduction and told them about my career objective and strengths.

What is marketing? A: There are two aspects of marketing one is finding out consumer demand and delivering it in feasible manner and another aspect is to create demand for your products in the market. How will you find out consumer demand? A: Sir, I will be having a sales team with me and we will conduct market surveys/ interact with the client directly. What is the difference between a DVD and a VCD? A: Disc store data in pits using light. In a DVD these pits are smaller and closely spaced apart and therefore we need a finer laser to read and write on a DVD. Tell me about Jonathan Livingston's SEAGULL? (Book I have read) A:This book is about realizing your dreams even if it requires you to do something which can make you an outcast from the flock. Are you trying to follow this teaching in your life? A: I will definitely try. What are your hobbies? A: Reading books and playing Cricket. At what level have you played Cricket? A:With friends. ( Ok gully cricket and the interviewers started laughing) What knowledge do you have about finance? A: Not much but I know something about banking. If you were the finance minister what one thing would you implement in this budget? A: I will reduce taxes on vehicles. Don't you think that we already have too many vehicles around? A: Yes, but 46% of vehicles sold in India are sold in rural areas but only 25% rural people have this 46% of vehicles. When we are making cheap cars like NANO then we should contribute to make it all the more affordable. What are the problems the country is facing today? A: Uninclusive growth. Around 30% population still lives below poverty line. Literacy rate is very low,Then implementation problems (80% of subsidized money for education reaches the destination in Kerala while in Bihar only 20% reaches) How will you solve these problems? A: Build more of infrastructure, supply chain management . Do you read a news paper ? A:Yes,The Times of India. What do you read in the newspaper? A: I read the main editorial article. Rest I do not follow it very strictly. But editorial is the last thing one would read, why do you read it first? A: But I do get to know some problems of the country which are generally not given in the entire newspaper. So tell me one recent article that caught your attention? A: Yesterday itself I read an article which throws light on the skewed sex ratio. The article mentioned that girls from Kerala are moving to Haryana because of very low number of girls there to marry people in Haryana. Why everyone who is coming here is coming with the same article read? Are you having some discussions outside? A: I don't know how it can happen. But I read another article from the “Speaking Tree” section, which was on love. (Yesterday being Valentines Day).

A: What is this Eye Donation camp in your College? How did you organise it? A: Sir, we got eye donation forms from the donation centre in Bairagarh near Bhopal. The concerned person had to fill the form and get it signed by another person who served as a verifier. We had all the faculties of our college donating their eyes and around 150 students also donated their eyes. Tell me about the paper for which you have won some prizes? A: My paper is on Phishing. Phishing involves attacks from hackers who send emails to people who use services from financial organizations. These emails look quite legitimate and ask you to enter your credit card number for verification purposes. Around 2-3% of unsuspecting users fall prey to this and enter all the information. This information is then sent to the hacker. So how do we prevent this? A: Sir, either we use an internet toolbar which consists of all the information about the website we are browsing. If at all any information is missing its better not to enter any information. Otherwise when we work and secure servers the http:// is replaced by https://. 's' denoting a secure server. If its not a secure server we should not enter any kind of information about our accounts. Also we can verify the name of the website with the name of its digital certificate. If it does not match it's a Phishing attack. So I can tamper the certificate A: Yes you can, and that's why I mention that unsuspecting users are caught in these attacks. In fact all the certificates used by Phishing attackers are already tampered. Which other calls do you have? A: I took only CAT, XAT and IIFT. Missed out due to sectionals in CAT. Which section? A: English. You're a Campionite, do you take your English for granted? A: It was just a bad day I guess. Ok Arpit, you can leave now,Thank you. Thank you. Last and may be least ! What is this ranking thing we have in B-Schools. Well its difficult for human mind not to compare things. We really live and think relatively. So comparisons are done big time and students base their decisions a lot on the perceived ranking . Not always but many students find themselves locked in this predicament when they have to choose between two very similar brands of B-Schools. But we need to get some scale. So here we have one. 1. Never go by the avg. salary packages of B-schools. There are a lot of reports on the net reporting how even the very prestigious B schools give misleading salary figures.Your avg salary is calculated by your Cost-To-Company (CTC) package.The CTC package can also include the money that company spends as giving you the space on its office floor, Which can be 4 lakhs per annum, cost on your AC, other services…So just for nothing your salary can increase by 4 lpa…Also for a fresher except the top 3 (Top 3 are IIM A, B, C) the opportunities across the premier B-Schools do not differ much.Also in other terms like faculty, Peer groups etc all other top B-Schools are more or less the same. So if a college has a highest package in crores, don't jump-It has been given to someone with years of experience in industry So whats the ranking? Most of the rankings till now by various magazines have had a participation head count of 500-600 participants, which also coupled with the fact that a lot of AICTE unapproved colleges also make it to top slots makes them dubious. Also there are sectoral colleges that are the very best in their field..so it makes little sense to compare them..Its like comparing orange with mangoes and trying to know which is better…and this ia very personal opinion. Personally the most reliable and sane B-School ranking that I have come across is the PagalGuy.com rankings, they used a participation count of over 5000 people. So that makes it simply the largest exercise of its kind. Also the rankings are very sensible. It goes like this 1.ISB, Hyderabad | 2.IIM-A| 3IIM-B|4.IIM-C| 5.XLRI, Jamshedpur | 6FMS, New Delhi |7.IIM-L |8.IIM-K 9. MDI, Gurgaon | 10.IIFT, New Delhi|11.IIM-I, | 12.SPJIMR, Mumbai |13.JBIMS, Mumbai |14.NITIE, Mumbai So all the best, Hoping I have covered a liitle length of the unending saga of the Great B-School Tamasha.!!!

Yash <-> Prateek (LOST!!!)

Yash: “mujhe magazine tees(30th) tak nikaalni hai” Juhi: “yash tu chup reh yaar…..saare ladke chup chp printers ke yahan phohoch jaana!!!” Sonal: “jo nahi pohochega….dekhlena”

And such was our journey from the day few arbit minds thought of publishing a magazine. And such is the story of my team, fighting against backlashes, listening to hard words, pulling through financial crunches, waiting for innumerable notices, leaflets and fighting against all odds to bring out this masterpiece just for the sake that your voice, your talent is heard. Just for the sake that the “I” in you breaks all shackles and comes out!! In the course, we might have faltered but as said “one's failure is the pathway to his success” we will standby all our faults, defeats and errors because with all that's coming to an end, we desire to learn and deliver the best we can…and our humility is strong because beyond all illusions we set of few perky brains believe in ourselves….. The ed-board as always will try its best to bring you the best…today and ahead!!

‘A new born flight, in its inception, desires to reach for the sky that awaits it. The sky of those infinite frontiers which will one day let its knowledge grow and spread the purest form of peace, joy and harmony with the first rays of sun. It flies with its humility saved underneath the wings of passion to unravel the deepest secrets of the world, to discover the unknown.' The cover page of this edition depicts the mascot of hope in its first flight to the frontiers of the new world which invites serenity, success and the quest for knowledge. As the morning sun ignites the torch of its beginning to conquer hate, disgust and violence; hope shedding its inhibitions catapults the vision of our generation and flies high into the sky to pass on the silent promise of today for a better future to the world of tomorrow. And that's how we at W.A.Y.S. define success. The one that “We and You shall” achieve together, today and tomorrow.
