\"The beginning is the most important part of the work\" <\/i><\/p>
\nAt the beginning of the semester, students will be full of energy and enthusiasm. They try to accomplish success in all possible ways. Also, they will try to correct their earlier mistakes, without repeating them this new semester. <\/p>
Like every other student, I make promises below to be followed from the beginning of a new semester but fail to withstand most of the time. <\/p>
-> To attend the classes regularly without bunking the last hours <\/p>
-> To maintain a well-written note of all chapters <\/p>
-> Mainly, to control my sleep during afternoon hours <\/p>
-> Listen to the classes with utmost concentration, without deviation\/distraction <\/p>
-> To stop one-day batting, and to learn the concepts on the day that they are being taught itself <\/p>
However, not only making mere promises but standing firm on them makes a person reach great heights. <\/p>
As days go on increasing, interest and intensity come down decreasing and most of the students act in a very casual manner toward their studies. The intention of scoring good marks turns into a motto of attaining a pass mark. <\/p>
So, at least from this new year, I pray to God to help me and all other students out there to give us the ability to stand firm on the decision we make and help us achieve all success.\n\n <\/p>
Wishing you all a very happy and prosperous NEW YEAR ahead:)<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1577851866985","data":"5e0c1c770080c"}]
Today is the last Monday of 2019 and that makes this my last Monday blog of 2019. I have been writing these blogs for exactly 23 weeks now, that means I have been writing these for the past six months and now as this year comes to an end, I want to talk about my dreams for 2020. All of us have dreams and aspirations but the difference exists in what we do to achieve those dreams and the steps we take and the efforts we put towards achieving those dreams. <\/p>
One of my primary dreams is to take stuMagz all over the country, serving students pan-India. stuMagz was started with the goal of enabling students to realise their dreams, explore their potential and get great opportunities and as we enter a new decade, I want stuMagz to enable every single student in every single college across the nation. I always dreamt of giving students a platform where they can connect with any other student in India, collaborate with like-minded students to build great things to make the nation a better place to live and I do hope we will get closer to that goal in 2020. <\/p>
And as 2019 comes to an end, I want to reminisce on my learnings with students in this year. Having worked with students throughout, I understood their needs and their wants in a better manner and we brought stuMagz VIP for students. stuMagz VIP is a one-of-its-kind student privilege program and through this, member students can have great cashbacks on products and services that they regularly use and on a professional note, have access to exclusive events and have access to exclusive opportunities. You can become a stuMagz VIP<\/a> and have all these privileges!<\/p>In 2020, I hope to serve students with this all over the country and I firmly believe with the way my team at stuMagz is striving hard to ensure students have a perfect platform, we will achieve it in 2020. To re-iterate, the steps we take and the efforts we put towards achieving our dreams makes all the difference.<\/p>"}]

\u201cA strong woman looks a challenge in the eye and winks\u201d. In every aspect of life people are taught to respect women and women are expected to be stronger. If means to grow up with their family and leaving for her family for pride, she is expected to be strong. From knowing her limits and still touching the sky. But hang on are we really treated right? We women are worshiped as Goddess, said to be treated right and taught to be respected and yet not done. <\/p>
We live in country where women are most unsafe, things like Domestic violence, eve teasing, Rape, Acid attacks, Dowry killing, Human trafficking, cyber bulling and lot more happen in a daily bases. I know its quiet clich\u00e9 to talk about women safety after a hell lot of articles, blogs and stuff and yet not done anything about it except from controlling her freedom, binding her. I am not here to ask you people to raise your voice, fight or rebel, but then I am here to tell you that It\u2019s something that, this not about we women getting controlled. It\u2019s about them knowing that they are wrong; they need to know that we are important for the society, to grow, to live. <\/p>
We do matter in every aspect of life to go on, you don\u2019t have to treat women like goddess or something, at least treat us as HUMANS. Treat us as humanly creature as part of a nature that matter, treat us right. We have suffered for years for our country\u2019s independence, what\u2019s the point of having such independence that can\u2019t make us feel free or safe. Imagine to have a life were we are fairly treated. Let\u2019s have a better world for her to spread her wings and let her fly higher and shine brighter.\n\n<\/p>"}]
For 23-year-old Hyderabad based writer Kadali Sathyanarayana, writing has always been something more of a habit and a way to express. \"Writing for me was almost like a medium to get things done. Whatever I could not speak out, I used to pen it down on paper and having grown up on a steady literary diet, I knew writing is what I want to do,\" says the author of a recently published book 'Letters to Love'.<\/p>
What is interesting about her is that unlike most young age writers, Kadali writes exclusively in Telugu and all of her works have been in Telugu. This brings up the question as to why she chose a language that has a limited audience compared to English and how she chose it in the first place. To this, Kadali says, \"All my life, the medium of education was English but everyone around me was Telugu. I somehow wanted to stick to my roots and also, there's a certain appeal to Telugu that one can't get in English. And about the language being accessible only to a limited audience, I don't feel limited at all because I only want to write for a Telugu audience. So it doesn't matter to me if English or any other language has a larger audience base.\"<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1577428574745","data":"5e05fa9879fcd"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1577428574744","data":"
One striking thing about Kadali's works are how they depict romance with feminist themes and doing this, hasn't been easy for her considering how judgemental a significant portion of our society is. But, according to her, judgement and comments don't stop her as she believes in her perspective also being known whether anyone agrees with it or not, saying, \"Before I started writing and when I was consuming books extensively, I was not allowed to read certain books, like Chalam's books. Later when I started writing, I was reminded of that and I felt I should not worry about what people think about my works and just express myself because my angle also has to be out there.\"<\/p>
According to her, there are several instances when people come to her and ask her why she is writing in the romance genre being a girl and she says the fact that people ask her this is exactly why she wants to write more. \"The more people say things like that, the more I want to write because I am breaking gender stereotyping in a subtle manner. Even when one reads my works, it is evident there,\" shares Kadali, whose other works have been published many times in compilations.<\/p>"}]

All of us wish to apply and get selected to opportunities. Having that coveted scholarship, an internship with your dream company and winning a challenging competition is a way of proving our mettle and also taking one step closer to our goals.<\/p>

Let\u2019s now look at some activities you can take up in this regard.<\/p>
1. Own project<\/b><\/p>
Doing a project is a great way to learn deeper about your interest areas.

It also shows that you have practical, hands-on experience along with theoretical understanding. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1577425525523","data":"

4. Conferences and Meetups<\/b><\/p>

I came home from the gym to have a power-packed breakfast to kickstart a day so productive that it'll make my bosses want to give me the 'employee of the year' award and I saw my dad fiddling around with an old x-ray in an attempt to see the solar eclipse. I was fascinated by it and was reminded of the times in the late 90s and early 2000s when I used to make a pin-hole camera out of an old cardboard box to see an eclipse. I was wondering to myself of the wonders of human ingenuity that had enabled a less-than-ten-years-old me to improvise an eclipse-viewing device out of scrap lying around the house when a friend of mine texted me and said he was hungry but was waiting for the eclipse to be over so he can eat.<\/p>
That was when I (in the words of millennials) facepalmed so hard that I gave myself a border-line concussion.<\/p>
This person was an engineer from a reputable college, working as a programmer and most likely had grades in math and physics that would have made my parents jump up in joy if I had gotten those but this person was still believing that moon's shadow on the Earth is inauspicious to eat.<\/p>
This person is not the only such person that I came across and in fact, most of the people around me (educated with advanced degrees) blindly follow this whenever there's an eclipse and also follow a buttload of other such superstitions. If you are reading this and you are a college student and even you follow superstitions like this, then it is something you should not feel good about and in fact, it is something that you should question about yourself and educate yourself and change yourself. <\/p>
Considering how most youth that I have come across seem to have forgotten everything that has been taught in school, I want to remind every person who is reading this about one of the fundamental duties of every Indian citizen, as laid out by the Indian Constitution - To develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform. Sadly most of the people I see around me utterly lack this and blindly believe in superstitions, going to the extent of following certain religious gurus who spew out pseudoscience behind superstitions in posh, suave English, as if the language adds credibility to the nonsense that speak.<\/p>
One such guru comes to mind right now and this particular one is known for spewing out his pseudoscience in a language that makes Shashi Tharoor want to take IELTS\/GRE Vocabulary classes and surprisingly, most of this guru's followers on social media are educated techies who blindly consume the bovine excrement that this person continues to speak.<\/p>
At this point, I would like to remind every student of the fundamental duty to develop scientific temper and to ensure we go towards progress and work towards making our country a better place to live in.<\/p>
There are many rich aspects of Indian culture and Indian art forms that we can propagate and work on. Let's not propagate superstitions. <\/p>
Educate yourself, educate your friends and educate your family.<\/p>"}]
The Magic Of Christmas Never Ends. 23-12-2019, we celebrated pre-christmas with lots of joy and fun. Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. Although the month and date of Jesus birth are unknown, the church in the early fourth century fixed the date as December 25. Jesus is also known as Son Of God. The event was started with a blessed prayer dance. The chief guest father Yohan Rajesh and guest of honour father Vincent were invited for the celebration. Fr Vincent sung a devotional song and fr Yohan Rajesh gave an inspiring speech. And students performed skits and song which are related to Christ. At the end of the program Santa Claus appeared and made everyone more cheerful with his actions and dance.<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1577207748800},{"id":1577208261036,"type":"img","data":"5e0249ee06910"},{"id":1577208241541,"type":"img","data":"5e0249da84382"},{"id":1577208223742,"type":"img","data":"5e0249c8b2a73"}]
