I've seen people spend thousands and thousands of rupees on finding the perfect life, the perfect balance between all the things that they do so that they don't compromise on their hobbies. <\/p>
But here's the funny thing, there is not such thing as a perfect life, everything that appears to be perfect to the human eye is not only a matter of perspective, it also takes a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication to put on a appearance of doing the same. <\/p>
Steven Wilson writes a song, called Routine, about a woman who is still pretending that she has a perfect life even after her husband and children have died in a car crash and it is a devastatingly painful and beautiful song. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1517745471004","data":"sh5mWzKlhQY"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1517745473549","data":"
This is the point I'm trying to make here. Life will never be perfect, you just have to accept that and make of it what you will. The curse and the boon of the human condition is that we are uniquely equipped to endure great bouts of misery and learn to move on, learn to put it behind us and move on with our lives, learning from the experience. Or we can let it completely devastate us. <\/p>
I laugh at the shylocks selling the promise of a perfect life, whether it is through religion or some sort of magical cure, it just isn't going to happen. You learn to make of life what you can and you learn to move on. There are no short cuts. <\/p>
So always hope for a good life, one with friends and family, where you love, laugh and live, rather that chasing that perfect life that you know will make you miserable because you tell yourself you cannot achieve it. <\/p>
You can always be better than you are currently, but you will never be perfect. Perfection is what you make of it. <\/p>"}]
On the 30th of January, a guest lecture was conducted by our college, wherein Mr.KVK Gupta, the Managing Director of Kwality photonics, was invited to help enlighten students about LED technology, its origin, present schemes and technologies being used and its future uses.\n This lecture was conducted for ECE and EEE students of third and fourth years. He kick started the presentation with a simple question. \"What is an LED and what goes into it?\"\nHe went on to explain about the origin, the surge of LED technology and various LED technologies present today. He explained in meticulous detail about the various characteristics and behaviours of LEDs and why we need. He also students with the great potential LED technology holds.\n The session was, on the whole, very informative and helped provide students an insight in the various other sectors apart from the mainstream ones.\n Our college also launched a new open elective at the lecture, called LED technology obviously, and also offered internships to those students who chose this subject as an open elective in their course.The students will be able to do their mini as well as major projects under the company's guidance and be taken in if they stood out.\nGrab this chance guys!<\/p>\n","id":"1517676248741","type":"txt"}]
The annual NSS youth festival, held by JNTUH, saw huge participation from many under graduate colleges this year.\nFirst, competitions were held in individual colleges in the various categories of events like singing, dancing, essay writing, elocution, patriotic poem among many others. One student was selected from each category, who, each, qualified for the inter college round.\nFrom the plethora of categories, our college,CMRCET, managed to bag three gold medals in different events.<\/p>\n
Shweta Mahavadi, a third year student, from ECE dept. penned her way to the top in the essay writing competition. She sure did show her knack for the language in her essay. We're proud of you Shweta!\n \nK.B Rohith, a second year Mechanical student, through his poem, showcased his love and patriotism for the country, thus landing the First place in the patriotic poem category. Congrats, Rohith!<\/p>\n

Life is never easy. When you think you had it all figured, it goes ahead and becomes the most complicated thing ever. One minute everything seems happy and blissful and in the next, things go downhill and everything is chaotic! <\/p>\n
Usually, aspects like bullying, trauma, betrayals, heartbreaks and failures throw people off the track. Despair and hopelessness take over you. Pessimism and perplexity cloud your rational thinking. Your emotions go overdrive and push you into an abysmal darkness. Even simple tasks seem frustrating to accomplish. Your anger notches up-to a whole new level, trust issues arise and irritability sees no end. Shutting people out becomes your defense mechanism and you turn into an empty shell. This emptiness overwhelms you and pushes you over the edge. <\/p>\n
And you start searching for ways to let your frustration out. You get addicted to drugs, alcohol and whatnot! You even try and hurt yourself and suicidal thoughts cross your mind frequently. <\/p>\n
Depression is a nasty feeling to go through. Do not let it over power you and your will to succeed. Let someone in and try speaking to them. It's not an easy thing to do, I know, trust me I do. But it really helps. Go to a therapist or do something that will keep you off that emptiness you feel. Get help before you succumb to it. <\/p>\n
Folks, there might be people right next to you who are falling prey to depression. Observe them, take a closer look, you'll understand their struggle. Try and help them. It's not easy to crack them but baby steps, it'll get you there. Help them fight depression and conquer it! <\/p>\n","id":"1517585847182","type":"txt"},{"data":"

It's that time of the year again when the finance minister carries an all-important looking briefcase into the parliament and announces a lot of stuff in hopes of impressing the voter base and furthering the interests of our nation but often end up being mocked on Whatsapp groups by middle-class folks (like, I'm assuming, a lot of us) and called 'anti-middle class'. <\/p>
Whatever the reception, it is no secret that understanding the Union Budget can be slightly intimidating because it is a wealth of information thrown at the average citizen who often has no point of reference to even begin to decipher the data. While news websites and hawk-eyed market watchers have already written their analysis of the budget and what it means for the future of the country - at least until next year- there are still a vast majority of people who are left questioning how or more specifically what effects them. This article is our attempt to simplify the salient points in the budget that apply to students specifically. Do note, I'm no expert in economics but I will, to the best of my abilities, present to you the facts as is and welcome any corrections should I happen to make an error, just leave a comment! <\/p>
But first, the basics. In our less than ideal world, the powers that be remember that they were only elected to power in the first place because of the people and focus on the vast majority of the country before a major election, and since we are rapidly headed towards a general election next year, the 2018 Union Budget was going to be Narendra Modi's first post GST and pre-Election budget. Those who were looking for something bombastic to drop as Arun Jaitley droned on on the floor were disappointed, but there were interesting bits that I want to highlight here, starting with the first one<\/p>
1. Tackling Brain Drain Through Fellowships: <\/b><\/p>
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley introduced a program that aims at identifying the best and brightest from premier B.Tech courses and provide an opportunity to pursue their higher studies in the best of the IITs and IISc Bangalore. The students who are selected via this program can also expect a handsome fellowship to come their way and are required to teach in higher education institutions weekly. <\/p>
Now, it's no secret that the state of research and development in our country is abysmal. For a nation obsessed with engineering, our homegrown products are embarrassingly bad, although an argument can be made that living with Indian Engineering makes you immune to any form of embarrassment for the rest of your life. That was a joke. <\/p>
Coming back to the point, I believe this initiative is a positive step towards improving research in our higher education institutes. Research scholars have complained for quite some time that the research grants provided by the centre are simply not enough. Many within academic circles have pointed out that this is one of the primary reasons India's brightest leave our shores to pursue research abroad. Here's hoping we can slow that down, I mean, there's only so much a hyper-nationalistic meme calling for research scholars to come back to the country can do. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1517557916507","data":"5a744a0dc4a68"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1517557918385","data":"
2. Cryptocurrency finds a mention in FM Jaitley's Speech: <\/b><\/p>
2017 saw a massive surge in Bitcoins and cryptocurrencies in general and it was only a matter of time before Arun Jaitley addressed rumours of outlawing the unregulated currency. While there was some misinformation on the internet as soon as the Budget hit the news cycles, Arun Jaitley didn't say anything new on the issue apart from reiterating the government's stand from earlier last year, stating that the government would look to curb usage of Bitcoins in illegal transactions but at the same time, harness the blockchain technology as a means to usher in a digital economy for India. <\/p>
The entire point of cryptocurrencies was that it was an unregulated currency that did not fall under the purview of any government in the world while also being legal tender to buy and sell. It is true that Bitcoin is the preferred currency for less than desirable social elements like hackers and drug peddlers online but the fact remains that Bitcoin will continue to grow as more people invest into it hoping to get rich quick. Using blockchain to regulate currency seems very redundant. <\/p>
I actually need to research further into this topic, this will make a fine feature later this month so keep an eye out for that. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1517566567494","data":"5a744a356b612"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1517566569226","data":"
3. Mobile Phones get more expensive: <\/b><\/p>
This one is bound to hurt a bit. The teaser of this move was dropped by Prime Minister Modi at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he went on record to say that protectionism was as bad as terrorism, mere days before Arun Jaitley announced a whopping 5% increase in custom duties on mobile phones - increasing it from 15% to 20% - to boost 'Make in India'. I mean, if that isn't protectionism, I don't know what is. I hope our Prime Minister can explain this misdirection as soon as possible. <\/p>
It's not just mobile phones, however, spare parts for TVs and other accessories are currently at 15% which also means that I, as a PC gamer, will find that PC parts have gotten even more expensive. Hooray! <\/p>
So yeah, if you were waiting to buy that expensive iPhone that you don't really need, it just got a bit costlier. But then again, if you're buying an iPhone X, price really isn't an issue, is it?<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1517567941301","data":"5a744a52d20b2"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1517567943236","data":"
4. A Prototype for India's Universal Healthcare: <\/b><\/p>
In what is being touted as the biggest healthcare plan in the world, Arun Jaitley announced that half the population of the country, specifically those who could not afford to get health insurance or afford hospital visits, would be provided with health insurance. With 10 crore families planned to be covered, this is the biggest healthcare plan in the world that has sent economic experts and common people in a tizzy, especially over reports that this plan was only allocated Rs. 2000 crore. <\/p>
As the news cycle rolls by, we now have reports suggesting that this new healthcare plan, which is being named Modicare much like the popular Obamacare from the United States, would cost the government Rs. 11000 crores annually. Whether the government goes through with this allocation of funds or not remains to be seen. <\/p>
I'm keeping details sparse because this is something I'm quite interested in and this definitely deserves a massive article of its own, so yes, keep an eye out for this one too later this month. It will also allow me to dig up more information as the government figures out where to go with this. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1517569430033","data":"5a744a8e5e265"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1517569431753","data":"
5. Cigarette prices to remain the same: <\/b><\/p>
Breathe a sigh of relief and some tobacco (actually, don't, like seriously) because this is the first budget in 6 years that left tobacco prices alone. Now, I wouldn't have really included this but cigarettes are to students what popcorn is to movie-goers: You don't really need it, it's super expensive, but it makes getting through college\/a movie more tolerable. <\/p>
As much as our elders like to pretend that their precious sons and daughters are the paragons of virtue, fact remains that our young folk have one vice or another, the most common of them being cigarettes. Now, I managed to quit after a struggle for years and this is in no way an encouragement but take this spurt of happiness that you feel at the fact that prices are not going up and use it to finally quit smoking. Trust me, it's the best decision you'll make for yourself. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1517569905645","data":"5a744aa90a8ff"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1517569908270","data":"
My final thoughts on this budget are that it is a very farmer friendly budget that focuses more on consolidating votes from rural areas - and I don't blame them for it, rural areas are the keys to the throne - while inconveniencing the middle-class voters. Now, stuMagz is not a political soapbox but allow me to make this very obvious prediction that the current administration already believes they have middle-class votes in the bag and are focusing on consolidating the rural votes for a majority next year. <\/p>
So, there you have it, the Student's Guide To Union Budget 2018. Let me reiterate that I absolutely welcome comments that highlight something I've missed or corrects a mistake that I've made, I'll credit you guys as well with the corrections and for helping make stuMagz a platform where you folks can come for reliable information and some fun reading. <\/p>
I will continue to add to this article as I find mistakes to correct or some important factor that I've missed, thank you for reading through my very informal article on making sense of this budget. Frankly speaking, I'm still lost on some aspects of the budget and am hoping I can find out more in the coming days. <\/p>
Do leave your comments and remember, we love you, folks. <\/p>"}]

I was famished. <\/p>
I didn't realise that the running and gunning across an massive island had left me famished and weak, the sight of the chicken dinner in front of me reminded me that this is what food looked like. I did not remember the last time I ate. <\/p>
It only seemed like it was yesterday, but I wasn't sure. <\/p>
I grabbed the spoon and grabbed a decent dollop of the chicken dinner before stopping, my eyes open wide. <\/p>
Where was I. What was this. Why am I still in my home clothes and not the outfit I found. Where were my guns. Was the food poisoned. <\/p>
These weren't questions, these were statements that my brain was registering. The sleek and dark room offered no explanations. I screamed. <\/p>
The silence was maddening. <\/p>
After a few more hours of trying to look for an exit out of the room, I knew I had to give up at some point. I was feeling what felt like solar flares of hunger in my stomach. I reached for the food and ate it, hoping that if it was indeed something that'll kill me, better get it over with. <\/p>
Before long, the bottom of the bowl was scraped clean and the bottle of water that came along with it drained. I was normal, rejunivated. But I was still trapped. <\/p>
The corner of the room hissed. <\/p>
I whipped around, expecting snakes or worse in the room trapped with me. The noise came from a wall that seemed to be moving. The panel moved aside and a man walked in. <\/p>
\"Congratulations,\" he said. There was no emotion in his voice. His eyes were worse, \"You are the only candidate to have been the last person alive in the simulation. You truly are the last woman standing. the rest will be sent back to their prison cells.\" <\/p>
\"Who are y-\" I began. <\/p>
\"This is a video game, my dear, you were in a simulation. A simulation in which you do experience real pain. Not enough to kill you, mind, we would lose our ratings if we killed our...participants,\" the corners of his mouth twitched, as if suppressing a smile. Participants indeed, \"I suppose volunteering is mandatory\", it wasn't a question. The man took notice. <\/p>
\"Of course it is voluntary. People can chose to lose and be sent to the mines for years of hard labour, we're doing you a favour by keeping you here.\" <\/p>
He laughed. The eyes were still dead, it was a emotionless laugh, the kind lawyers and serial killers have. <\/p>
\"No, you see, people like watching our little Battlegrounds. It's the mist viewed game on Twitch! People do not know, however, that you are real people, real prisoners.\" <\/p>
\"Why are you telling me this?\" I asked, eyes narrowed. <\/p>
\"We need your help to train the Leader's son. He has to win his Battlegrounds match, you know, put on a show for the people so he can pretend to be brave and strong. That of course, is your official designation.\" <\/p>
I suddenly had an inkling of why this man seemed familiar, he reminded me of the Vizier from Aladin cartoons, the evil court minister with his own designs for the Kingdom and Princess Jasmine. Something told me he was in a similar position with our current dear administration. <\/p>
\"And what about my unofficial designation?\" I asked, knowing the answer already. <\/p>
\"Why, my dear lady, you must kill him.\" he said, rubbing the lapels of his coat with his thumbs, \"and then, you lay down your life for the good of the realm. Your son and husband walk free.\" <\/p>
He was alive...my husband was alive. I tried to keep my face devoid of any shock or relief, but - <\/p>
\"You can see her eyes betray what she's thinking, Commander,\" came a voice, a very familiar voice, from the shadows of the door way. <\/p>
The man walked forward, dressed in the same uniform as the Commander who spoke to me, and I felt the ground beneath my feet disappear. <\/p>
My husband was a government operative. <\/p>
Next Week: The thrilling conclusion to our 10 chapter series. <\/i><\/p>"}]
Satire is one of my favourite forms of humour, sharp enough to cut through the target's skin and funny enough to make people unfortunate enough to be in terrible positions due to the target's actions to laugh, and remind them what they are fighting for. Khushwant Singh, born on this day in 1915, was exceptionally gifted at this. I'd go as far as saying he was probably India's premier satirist. <\/p>
His quotes not only made people laugh, they presented reality as it was to people without having to rely on hyperbole. This short article is my tribute to the man who was never afraid of writing what he wanted to write about, one who saw the injustice and increasing inequality around him and couldn't keep quiet. Here's some of his favourite quotes that I believe everyone must be acquainted with. <\/p>
1. The Do-er must do only when the receiver is ready to receive, otherwise the effort is wasted: <\/b><\/p>
This one is one of my favourite Singh quotes because it is a philosophy that I've come to terms with over the years. I was one of those people who was never ready to receive, until one day I was. Life hasn't been the same since then. <\/p>
2. Love is an elusive concept and means different things to different people: <\/b><\/p>
This quote is so relevant even in modern context it is hilarious. <\/p>
3. We are of the mysterious East. No Proof, Just Faith. No Reason, Just Faith. <\/b><\/p>
Also a personal favourite, this is both an appreciation of our lands as well as a criticism. No proof, just faith, the magic of our land. Whether for the good or bad. Hope, happiness, regression, everything has no rhyme or reason in the mysterious east. <\/p>
4. The last to learn of gossip are the parties concerned: <\/b><\/p>
Like really, don't talk behind people's backs. <\/p>
5. Morality is a matter of money, the poor cannot afford it and the rich do not need it.<\/b> <\/p>
This is my favourite Khushwant Singh quote. A recent Oxfam report suggests that the 1% of the country hold 73% of the wealth. The rest of us are left running for the trees to cover only to find that the trees have been chopped down by the rich to build their shelters and are defended by governments, guards and conditions. The same people will go one to dictate moralities to us while also not believing in it themselves so they can have the illusion of keeping the sheep under control. Rise above the conditioning, rise above the hate, know who benefits when you lose. <\/p>
It's absolutely fantastic that a visionary like Khushwant Singh so astutely observed these in his time. <\/p>"}]

India will be bolstered by the arrival of the limited-overs experts, not least Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who seems to be able to infuse new confidence into the side with just his presence. That, added to the fine win in the last Test at Johannesburg, make India at least equal foes if not better when they take on South Africa. With only 14 months to go for the 2019 ODI World Cup, India will also look to kick off their preparations in earnest during the series.<\/b><\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1517491407928","data":"5a7315bb6abca"}]
