DILEMMA OF ENGINEERS

An air of lull blanketed this cozy place which housed a gamut of pissed off faces jabbering with frenzied gestures, a set of provoking creatures (toppers as in) strutting around “ common yaar we too sabotaged our exam…loosing 5 marks can u believe it……oooo shit forgot to mention this detail do u think it might count against me”  and two girls gaping at the thali placed on the table in front of them with a sense of what seemed like an introspection-

Bunny: come on duck just push that thing through your food canal .25rs buddy, I haven’t ordered it to sit staring at.

Duck: what went wrong??? I slogged the whole day hardly slept for more than 2 hours yet I goofed up………..

Bunny: well!! Slogging must have been our motto right from the beginning of the semester not 24 hours prior to the impending catastrophe. But don’t feel guilty we indeed have been working our way through other stuff………..

Duck: (interrupted) other stuff??????  Chuck it alright is it going to hold any credibility after all in this place which worships 80% scorers. You agree or not but we’ve made a grave mistake poking our noses into robotics, tpp’s and tech fests.

Bunny: I least expected you to take sides with this cliché hypo critic thinking I mean we’ve landed in these activities not because we were confident that we could manage academics and non-academics juxtapose, but rather because if we weren’t engaged in those we wouldn’t be ourselves. The semester starts with a 30 marks minor and there starts your marathon into the ordeal of eternal practicals, tests, assignments and before you gasp for some more breath you find yourselves face to face with an ugly demon ‘the semester exams’ this is so inhumane.

Duck: why crib about the system when you know you can’t change it. It’s better we plan our activities accordingly, see if we could squeeze time for those and if found impossible just dump them. After all it’s that highly esteemed 75%+ stamp that’s going to fetch you a job and some respect from your relatives.

Bunny: you’ve got it wrong duck, a company does not rate a college in terms of the no. of 75% scorers it has churned out , but rather in terms of the no. of accolades it’s students have achieved in various innovative projects, national level competions and inter college fests.

Duck: but don’t you see through the irony of this whole situation the outside world recognizes the   college due to people like us but allows only those high aggregates to sit for the aptitude test. All your achievements will hold no water in their judgment.

Bunny: But that’s exactly what irks me the most and the worst part of it is a handful of people responsible for this are not addressing the issue in a way it needs to addressed. Moreover our paper setters seem to be more interested in testing our assimilatory and presentation skills ……… creativity and scientific temperament seems to have lost it’s stand.

Duck: precisely ……… the methodology to study for tests is poles apart from the way one needs to study for application based understanding.

Bunny: yeah maybe we’d find open book tests and challenging assignments more interesting than scrabbling down experiments in the practical files.

Duck: ahhhhh…something I hate to do. But good that you cribbed about practical files it has just reminded me of a promise we made a week ago to submit our analog practical files by tomorrow.

Bunny: oh common you talk as though we’ve had a past record of keeping up the promises we make to our teachers, breaking it once more wouldn’t hurt ……I am feeling lazy …come let’s go for  a movie.

Duck: no…not at all bunny ( literally dragging her by her arm)  …..no excuse to be lazy now …..I don’t want ourselves to get chucked out of the lab once again…….

LETS GO!!!

The anthem on everybody’s lips...

an ensemble of elegant musicians,

gives  the world  their new ‘waka waka’ and better...

India is here ,jiyo utho  badho jeeto...!!!

the glittering words of Mehboob with the magic of Rehman

inspiring us for exemplary performances....

the participants marching forward with great zeal!

the flag unfurling high with greater,  in the sky...

the lyrics  exude  power and energy...

charging the aura with joy and ecstasy!!!

make our veins burst out ,with practice and fear

we ,equally  maintaining the poise to deliver it here  

Our cultural heritage came live on stage

the henna clad hands shown bright...unfazed!

As the  newely wed bride , with the hesitation if ‘all will be well...’?

 the faith to make it all work....is all what we have!!

Such was the grandeur of our opening ceremony;

so shall be the closing ,amen!!

 INDIA, still in its youth stands upright and proud

eyes...gleaming  with conviction!!!

Let us do what we do best ‘atithi devo bhava’

 All ‘rise to the occasion’ and feel the ‘rhythm’.

Live, Rise, Ascend, Win

jiyo utho bado jeeto....,tera mera jahaan !let’s go!

Bid adieu to the nonchalance of the capital...

open  your arms wide enough to embrace the newer and warmer  DELHI.

let the world know us not any more as the land of snake charmers;

but by the likes of Narang and Mirza who charm hearts no less.

For once let our daily chores rest and wait...

To welcome with great pleasure  the CWG team 2010.

Afterall,

It’s not everyday that HERMES descend on the ARYAVARTA...

WE ARE A LUCKY COUNTRY ,I MUST SAY.

Let us all get  geared up for triumph...

Hoping that we leave imprints on their souls...

Sweet memories sprinkling as sweat ...

 Tokens of jubiliation is what they should take along...!

WE have come a long way from ’47;

Retaining the spirit and sincerity...

Shouldering the onus that we have

to give the world it had never experienced...world class hospitality.

Unshattered by the whistle blowing of the media...

Delhiites,all set to play the best hosts to cwg 2010.

let  the world shout out loud ‘encore’!!

Let we be elated  by what we deliver...’the best ever cwg ‘!!!

SHEFALI ARORA

 

JIYO,UTHO,BADO,JEETO,TERA MERA JAHAAN LET'S GO!                        

  

                    

                   This fabulous song in the CWG’s praise,

                   Has set in us a flame ablaze,

                   It has shown us a way to rekindle life,

                   And live it to the fullest,in all its strife.

                   It’s our world,we have to make it rock,

                   So get up,its mysteries you must unlock.

                   Forget what’s done,a new world awaits,

                   Make a move towards its golden gates.

                   We are the citizens of ‘the golden sparrow’,

                   Let us get rid of hatred and beliefs so narrow.

                   Celebrate the pride today India has attained,

                   Enjoy the peace,the showers God has rained.

                   And take a step forward to fulfill India’s desire,

                   Live to do,what makes our tricolor fly higher.

                   Lets put an effort to build a world of harmony,

                   To make ourselves happier,and others free from agony!

 PRIYA JUNEJA

 जीवन की उलझनों के धागों मैं फंसा
बैठा मैं खो अपनी हंसी,
वोह चंचल आवाज़, वोह सुन्दर मुस्कराहट
वोह नटखट आँखे, वोह प्यारी बातें|
खुद से बातें करता मैं, यूँ ही चलता चलता मैं
आ गया इक बगीचे मैं,
हँसती हुई तितली ने मुझे पुकारा,
खिसियाती हुई गिलहरी ने मुझे बुलाया
मुस्कुराती हुई कलि ने मेरी और देखा,
पर मैंने किया सब अनदेखा|
इस पर बूढ़े पेड़ ने, मुझे बुलाया,
नम आँखों से देखते हुए मैंने अपना सर उठाया,
पुछा उसने, गुलिस्तान मैं आकर भी आंसू बहाते हो क्यूँ?
इन पंछियों की चेहेक से कतराते हो क्यूँ?
मुझे भी तो बताओ, ग़म छुपाते हो क्यूँ|
आंसूं आखों से पलकों तक आये, और फिर छलकने मैं देर न लगी
कहा मैंने, सब कुछ हो रहा है गलत,
चाहता हूँ मैं अछाई का साथ देना,
चाहता हूँ मैं इस जहां को भी गुलिस्तान बनाना,
पर नहीं कह पाता कुछ, नहीं सजा पाता इसे|
करना तो मैं बहुत कुछ चाहता हूँ, पर कुछ भी नहीं कर पाता मैं
तुम ही बताओ, क्या मैं न दुखी होऊं?
इस पर बूढ़े वृक्ष ने मुस्कुरा के कहा,
सब जानता हूँ मैं, सब समझता हूँ,
सिर्फ एक बात तुमसे कहता हूँ,
जियो उठो बढ़ो जीतो,
खुश रहो, मुस्कुराओ,
तेरा मेरा जहाँ|

RESULTS TO BE DECLARED ON 27 OCTOBER

SHEFALI ARORA@DEEPTI BAGGA ,PARIDHI AGGARWAL AND SHREYA CHHABRA:

I think I have tried well to explain my points  in the last two posts. Now I am going to quote some points  from Dr. Abdul Kalam’s letter, which I came across recently. Maybe this will satisfy all of you.

In 3000 Years of our history, people from all over the world have come and invaded us, captured our lands, conquered our minds.From Alexander onwards.The Greeks, the Turks, the Moguls, the Portuguese, the British, the French, the Dutch, all of them came and looted us, took over what was ours. Yet we have not done this to any other nation.
We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, and their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them. Why? Because we respect the freedom of others. I believe that India got its first vision of freedom in 1857, when we started the war of independence.It is this freedom that we must protect and nurture and build on. If we are not free, no one will respect us.  

Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements?
We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them.We are the first in milk production.We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.We are the second largest producer of wheat.We are the second largest producer of rice.

Why? In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.Why are we so NEGATIVE?

YOU say that our government is inefficient.YOU say that our laws are too old.YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke, The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination..YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it?
YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India?When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home.
Our excuse? "It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry." So who's going to change the system? What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and the government.
But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.

 So friends, you are taking up the same few issues again and again. Look into the positive shades of your country. There is much and much to explore. Think about it that if India has reached this far,tomorrow will be certainly better than today. Be proud of what we have gained,not what we have lost. I again repeat that nobody is perfect and there is always a chance of improvement.

So I still don’t agree with your points and say that I AM PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN!!!!
