The prospect of holidays sounds exciting on paper but when you actually have holidays and are sitting at home without doing anything, you get bored really quick, and boredom can be really counterproductive. So what then can one do to beat the boredom while at home hiding from the unforgiving sun? <\/p>
1. Read books <\/b><\/p>
The best gift you can give yourself in your free time is to read books and open your mind to new ideas. Some of the smartest people I know are well-read, whether it is fiction or non-fiction (although I would strongly recommend reading non-fiction).<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494410397216","data":"5912ec875d25b"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494410399049","data":"
2. Watch World Cinema <\/b><\/p>
Gaining an appreciation for the cinematic arts is essential for understanding the human condition. If you're the kind of person that likes to ponder over questions about the meaning of life, the complexity of human emotions and the art of filmmaking, you will not regret this. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494410531396","data":"5912ec6790e8f"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494410533558","data":"
3. Teach or Learn<\/b><\/p>
Use the free time to teach a skill you have, or take the time to learn something new. For example, playing a musical instrument or learning how to paint or draw. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494410794135","data":"5912ec411cb48"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494410796725","data":"
4. DIY <\/b><\/p>
DIY stands for Do It Yourself, it's basically a culture of building things for your home to improve it. From constructing chairs, tables, to fixing existing problems with your house, cable management, setting up a music system to name a few. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494411308698","data":"5912ec1f98896"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494411310432","data":"
5. Cook good food <\/b><\/p>
One of the best life skills you can learn is how to cook. Students of today will become working professionals of tomorrow, and more often than not, required to move out of their homes and live on their own. In such cases, it is absolutely imperative that you learn how to cook for yourself. Not only will this save you money, but it'll keep you healthy and happy. Cooking is an art that can only be mastered over multiple trails, so get cracking! <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494412136484","data":"5912ebfb95ba5"}]

Internships are extremely important for any budding student to get a grip on how to manage themselves in a professional environment and when they finally get jobs, and for mechanical engineers, this is especially important because of various reasons. Here's a few!<\/p>
1. Industry experience <\/b><\/p>
The Mechanical industry isn't the average IT job where you sit in front of a computer all day to write code. A lot goes on behind the scenes in the industry and you, as a student, will give yourself an edge over your peers by working with professionals on their own turf and understanding how the industry works. This is the most precious commodity you can take back with you once the internship is done: the experience. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494329997900","data":"5911ad4c495e2"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494329999887","data":"
2. Work Ethic <\/b> <\/p>
Chances are if you've actively hunted for an internship, you more likely than not are proactive and willing to put your hours in for work. However, even if you're not, an internship in the industry is a great way of drilling work ethic into you. Respect for your colleagues and for the machines will only increase, thus making sure you are ready to take on your roles effectively. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494330091460","data":"5911ad386a319"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494330093187","data":"
3. Hands on with the best <\/b><\/p>
If you manage to score a great internship in a prestigious company, you will get to work with some of the brightest minds in the industry, thus enabling you to learn from them directly. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494330555601","data":"5911ad2327ce0"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494330205771","data":"
4. A bounce board for your career <\/b> <\/p>
An internship will be the highlight of your resume. Successfully completing an internship shows to potential employers than you are trustworthy and already have experience, which goes on to say you understand the work ethic and how to manage yourself in a professional environment. Candidates like that are valuable picks for any company. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494330374136","data":"5911acfd2f58e"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494330376155","data":"
5. Networking <\/b> <\/p>
A few points over this week discussing internships for various branches of engineering will be similar, this is one of them. Having access to the industry also means you have access to the people who are connected to more people, allowing you to build a network. Networking as a working professional can be extremely beneficial, and should be a priority for any fresher to the industry. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494330460943","data":"5911acdf68705"}]
On perhaps the most crucial and important day of these teenagers' lives, the students who did bloopers in adhering to the NEET dress code, were subjected to several humiliating measures. Several male students who wore a full sleeved shirt had their shirt sleeves chopped off, students had to go hunting for clothes stores at 8 am on a Sunday because the colour of their pant somehow magically enabled them to cheat, female students had to hunt for jewellery shops to cut off their earrings (the image below is taken from a report from The Hindu, the girl is at a jewellery shop to cut off her earrings and she barely made it to the exam on time), jeans with metal buttons had to be removed or the buttons had to be chopped off, a girl was made to take off her bra because it had metal hooks. Students being subjected to humiliation and stressful instances like this on the one day that they spent most of their teenage preparing for, is something that the CBSE has to be ashamed of. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494328891294","data":"5911a688c5a21"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494328951897","data":"5911a6c20ca86"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494327407779","data":"
National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), a unified entrance exam for entry into all medical colleges across the country, was conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Sunday. The exam was earlier conducted for only 15% of the all-India quota seats and the rest was conducted by states but now, it has been conducted for all colleges across the country; with a total of 11,38,890 students registering for it. While it was supposedly done to ease the process of getting into a college by having just one exam, the implementation of the rules at the exam was nothing short of draconian in nature.<\/p>
Having been the subject of much scrutiny and criticism over allegations of corruption in the exam, with some media houses actually comparing NEET to the Vyapam scam, CBSE decided to enforce strict rules to ensure no instances of cheating happen. The board released a list of dos and don'ts for the candidates, including dress codes to be followed at the exam centres. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494328359456","data":"5911a47154204"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494327586925","data":"
But what CBSE forgot was that we live in 2017 and there are a lot of technological solutions and CBSE also forgot the rigid, close minded mentalities of most employees in the education sector in the country. Having taken the words too seriously, faculty members in many exam centres subjected students to a high stress scenario right before the exam for some of the most ridiculous reasons. The fact that some girls were not allowed inside the exam because they were wearing jeans just reeks of moral policing. Telling a student to remove his sandals just shows their lack of understanding of their own rules.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494329120066","data":"5911a771a75bc"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494328487832","data":"
Instead of making a girl take off her innerwear because it set off the metal detectors, the board (which had enough resources to put metal detectors in place) could have as well put a signal jammer in every centre. Instead of taking advantage of the advancements in technology, the way the exam was conducted seems to be more regressive in nature than the way of the future (the way it was projected initially). Sensitising the staff at the centres and counselling them prior to the exam is probably a thought that did not cross anyones' minds but it was absolutely necessary. <\/p>
It is important for the conductors of the exam to realise that these teenagers are fresh out of school and this is the probably first time in their lives that they are writing a competitive exam. Subjecting them to harassment like this just minutes before the exam, will definitely affect their future. It is time CBSE and all other educational entities in the country become sensitised and act with some sensitivity, instead of being under the assumption that every student is up to no good and will do something wrong.<\/p>"}]
As the world becomes more conscious about saving the environment by reducing dependency on fossil fuels, colleges like SNIST lead by example by installing a 500kWp solar power plant on campus. This move not only produces clean energy, it also sets a precedent for other colleges to follow. <\/p>
Inaugurating the plant at an event, the Rachakonda Commissioner of Police Mahesh Bhagwat highlighted the importance of clean and green energy and spoke about how citizens should take the initiative to be responsible for the planet. <\/p>
Speaking on the stage shared by the Chairman of the Sreenidhi group, Mr.Mahi, Director of SNIST Mr Narasimha Reddy, Amarender Reddy of NetCap, G Indeevar of Green Secure Energy and Dr Sumanth, Principal of SNIST, the CP of Rachakonda spoke at length about the need for solar energy in the coming years, and wished for the panels to become cheaper so more people adopt them in the future. <\/p>
The 500kWp plant will produce the same amount of energy as 7-8% of the state's output. Here's hoping more colleges and even companies see this as an example and follow suit, for cleaner energy and for a safer planet. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494319370440","data":"59118177bf8f9"}]

For many of our readers, these are their final days of engineering. Another exam or two and they'll be done with their Engineering and<\/p>
We complied a list of things every engineer must know. Check it out! <\/p>
1. Never lose the thirst for knowledge <\/b><\/p>
One of the best things we as humans can do is keep learning continuously to improve who we are. This is especially true for engineers. Never shy away from an opportunity to learn something new, because you never know how useful it can be to you. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494246449543","data":"59106ba18e655"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494246451518","data":"
2. Prioritise<\/b><\/p>
As much as our elders told us that we can do anything once we finish engineering, you may find yourself short of time and frustrated because you can't do what you wanted to do. Don't worry about it, instead, plan your time and prioritise tasks according to it. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494246537858","data":"59106b7becf46"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494246539883","data":"
3. Do not be arrogant <\/b><\/p>

One of the more unfortunate side effects of the information age was the rapid spreading of fake news to create a narrative that pits people against one another, which suits political agendas. Winston Churchill was quoted saying 'A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on', and today, years later, the words still ring true. <\/p>
In November, the Oxford Dictionary announced the word 'post-truth' as the word of the year, highlighting a dangerous trend in politics across the world, not just in the United States but in India as well. Post-Truth Politics (click here to read about it<\/a>) refers to political beliefs than pander more to the emotions rather than policy, where truth takes secondary precedence as emotions and fears rule the formation of opinions rather than logic. Basically, the forwards you keep seeing in family Whatsapp groups, and that's just one part of it. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494236556499","data":"5910450e03f32"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1494236558411","data":"India is no stranger to fake news.

Beat the summer heat by travelling to new places and experiencing a different culture! Of course, most of us will be more than happy to sit and home and sleep it off (which frankly is my favourite activity), but travelling is amazing and puts kilometres on your soul, gives you new perspectives and opens up tonnes of possibilities in understanding the people of India, so why wouldn't you do it? Here's a list of places you can travel to this summer. <\/p>

The rolling hills, the roaring waterfalls, the quaint little town that does not get warm at all, and a beautiful countryside are just a few reasons to visit the capital of Meghalaya. It's absolutely incredible. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1494245731950","data":"591061ad43001"}]
Depression\u2026..I\u2019m sure many of you might have heard about this word a lot of times in the past few days. Apropos a statistics we are having a depression rate of 36% in our country, were almost of 50% of the population is young generation. Now, this is a serious issue because this means that most of the people who are going through depression are school going kids or youngsters. There are numerous reasons for this\u2026our lifestyle, the phase and pace of life, competition, the way we look, this is a never ending list. <\/p>
Most of them would accede that if given a chance one would like to relive his childhood days. But this has become an adage to the present school going students. Students today are under the constant radar of being judged and compared not only by the society but even by their parents. Today most of the parents of a kindergarten student want his child to know everything\u2026even something such as who is the President of Uganda sends his 6th standard child to IIT coaching and wants his child to start solving previous years JEE papers by the time he\u2019s in his 10th standard. Are these people out of their senses?...your child who\u2019s in KG doesn\u2019t even know where India is\u2026.your 6th standard child has just come to know that science has different branches such as physics, Majoritybiology\u2026maybe your 10th standard child wants to become a CA and not an engineer.<\/p>
Students are pushed to their limits in the two years of their +2 as they prepare for entrance exams such as JEE and become mentally disturbed. The students are in a pressure cooker in this period and if they are lucky they make out of it\u2026or else at times the cooker blasts and leads to abominable scenarios as such as students committing the majority of the student's life today can be compared to that of a sine graph. By the time one finishes his engineering half of his life goes in break up\u2026patchup\u2026breakup\u2026patchup. A majority of them don\u2019t even know the difference between infatuation and love and waste the crucial years of their life on this. <\/p>
Body shaming is another reason which is causing depression. No one in this world is happy with the way God has made oneself. People go under the knife to change the way they look. At times even parents of a child who suffering from hereditary want their child to get in shape and it results in a situation where the child abominates his parents and thinks that will my parents love me only if I look in a certain way?<\/p>
People should start helping out people going through depression. Students should understand that failing in an examination be it in school or even any other entrance examination doesn\u2019t mean their life\u2019s going to end. Many people whom we look up to have failed many times in many stages of their life. We should not be disheartened by failure but stand up and catch the next tide. One should always remember that no one\u2019s going get alive\u2026. Sometimes we win, sometimes we learn\u2026so sit back and enjoy the journey.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493649429023","data":"590748815f820"}]
