A man is washing windows on the 25th floor of an apartment building. Suddenly, he slips and falls. He has nothing to cushion his fall, and no safety equipment\u2014but gets up un-phased and un-hurt. How is this possible? <\/i><\/p>
I\u2019ll come back to this question later, but it\u2019s great that you\u2019re still reading. Why is that? Presumably, because you want to find out more \u2013 I\u2019ve piqued your curiosity. The poet Anatole France once described learning and teaching as \u2018the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds. Without it, learning is dull and uninspiring. If not for curiosity, would you still be reading?<\/p>
<\/p>
Intellectual curiosity is so important! We see that most clearly in how it manifests itself in geniuses. Intellectual giants are always curious persons. For example, Thomas Edison, Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman were all curious individuals. <\/p>
Richard Feynman was especially known for his adventures which came from his curiosity. <\/p>
Curiosity is not only important for those with high IQs but also for young people and students. The most successful students (and people who are successful after\ncollege) often display a good measure of intellectual curiosity.\nBut why is curiosity so important? <\/p>
Here are four reasons: <\/p>
1. It makes your mind active instead of passive <\/i><\/u><\/b><\/p>
Curious people always ask questions and search for answers. Their minds are always active. Since the mind\nis like a muscle that becomes stronger through continual exercise, the mental exercise caused by curiosity\nmakes your mind stronger and stronger. <\/p>
2. It makes your mind observant of new ideas <\/i><\/u><\/b><\/p>
When you are curious about something, your mind expects and anticipates new ideas related to the subject.\nWhen the ideas come you will recognize them. Without curiosity, ideas may pass right in front of you, and\nyet you miss them because your mind is not prepared to recognize them. Just think, how many great ideas\nmay have been lost due to a lack of curiosity? <\/p>
3. It opens up new worlds and possibilities <\/i><\/u><\/b><\/p>
By being curious you will be able to see new worlds and possibilities that are normally not visible. They are\nhidden behind the surface of normal life, and it takes a curious mind to look beneath the surface and discover\nthese new worlds and possibilities. <\/p>
4. It brings excitement into your life <\/i><\/u><\/b><\/p>
The lives of curious people are far from boring. They are neither dull nor routine. There are always new things\nthat attract the curious person\u2019s attention, there are always new \u2018toys\u2019 to play with. Instead of being bored,\ncurious people have an adventurous life.<\/p>
Now that you know the importance of curiosity, here are some tips to develop it:<\/p>
1. Always Keep an open mind.<\/p>
2. Don\u2019t take things at face value.<\/p>
3. Ask questions relentlessly.<\/p>
4. Don\u2019t label something as boring.<\/p>
5. See learning as something fun.<\/p>
6. Have diversity in your reading.<\/p>

Let us know about the transformation of Siraj<\/b>, a student from Lords Institute of Engineering and Technology<\/b>, from being an extreme introvert anti-social to finding his potential and making not one recognise him but make the entire crowd stand and welcome him. <\/p>
\nThough it has been 21 years since I was born, of which I took a sweet 2-3 years to learn words, vocabulary, & how to speak.\n<\/p>
I was like a doll that can't speak or express anything, and hence there was no way of knowing if I was at least learning things. All my teachers at school got fed up with this dumb kid in class with unreadable handwriting, who never spoke out while always being lost in his thoughts. <\/p>
\nAs I did not communicate, they couldn't know what was running in my head and thought I didn't understand what they were teaching and that I was just thinking of random things. I was just trying to visualize all those concepts, processes, methods, numbers, and figures, doing stuff with them in my imagination, and thinking about random things. I had so many questions, but I wasn't sure if I should ask or do I already have the answers. So, I kept exploring my world of imagination. Wandering in search of answers.\n<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1670250257934","data":"63882db67ff3e"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1670250257935","data":"
My social life didn't properly begin until I was 13 y\/o when in the 7th grade, just sitting at my desk. Out of the blue, for random reasons, a realization hit me, \"Siraj, you have now grown up, and you need to take things seriously.\" I said to myself. That is the first spontaneous conscious existential thought I had. Even today, I haven't the faintest clue what triggered it. <\/p>
\nI literally went, \"This is too much thinking for one person. I need more brains to get to a conclusion.\" That's when I started talking to people, made friends and started actively participating in class and other extracurricular activities.\n\n <\/p>
When I was in 9th grade, my brother went out to a hostel for his further studies, and our dad was in his late 60s and started to slowly prefer being at home more than going out, so I was actively involved in all the financial transactions that happened at home. All the liquid cash transactions went through me. <\/p>
\nThis was also the period where I was introduced to philosophy, critical thinking & reasoning. Those 2 years which I spent with my father were pure gold. I had exclusive access to all his time and his 60+ years of knowledge and experience. I got to learn his life philosophy, approach towards different things, his way of questioning, answering, prioritizing and so much more.\n\n<\/p>
At the end of those 2 years, I completed my schooling at Sultan-Ul-Uloom Public School<\/b> (a minority institution) and joined Sri Chaitanya Junior Kalasala,<\/b> where I was exposed to an entirely new set of people who were nothing like what I grew up among til then. <\/p>
\nThis was the beginning of when I started learning more than just what we were given lectures on. This is where I was introduced to the ever-so-magical concept of peer learning. The level of conversions was different, the knowledge exchange was overwhelming, and the quality of the content was exponentially proportional to the crowd diversity. Seeing our peers work hard led us to work hard, and our working hard led to our peers working hard.\n<\/p>
I made many friends in those 2 years at Chaitanya, but 2 friends will forever stand out \u2014 Rachana & Adnan<\/b>. These two have contributed to my personal growth more than anyone else. They have a special place in my heart for eternity. <\/p>
\nAt the end of my intermediate, while I was looking for an engineering college to get into, Adnan was the one who suggested LIET.<\/b>\n<\/p>
At LIET, I got lucky yet again. I found like-minded people, people who cared for me, people who gave me importance and wished the best for me. <\/p>
\nGetting into LIET opened the doors to numerous opportunities. By this time, I had developed the characteristics of an explorer, so I grabbed onto these opportunities, submitted myself to learning as much as possible, and started applying that knowledge and experimenting with things.\n<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1670250257936","data":"63882e1c0980c"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1670250257937","data":"
In our 1st semester, I got a chance to be one of the founding members of LORDS E-Cell<\/b> in a team of 6. While building LORDS E-Cell with the team, I also got a chance to step into the start-up ecosystem when I joined EdVenture Park<\/b> as an Incubatee in the first Cohort \"Cohort A-20\"<\/b> where I learnt countless moral and material lessons, peoples psychology, how to deal with people and the people there made me want to step out of my comfort zone and do things I\u2019m not used to and try things that I would otherwise perhaps never do. <\/p>
I started my journey in E-Cell as a member and climbed my way from HR Co-ordinator to Documentation Incharge to Core team member to Executive team member to Vice-President<\/b> and served my last month as Interim President<\/b>. Alongside this, with a founding team of 4, I also did some groundwork for setting up a business incubator in our college. After successfully completing LIETs first large-scale Hackathon, LORDS TBI was ready & I moved on to the next level and joined the team as Incubation Manager<\/b>.\n <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1670250257938","data":"63882e3db0d3d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1670250257939","data":"
Throughout these years, I've explored, discovered, experimented, and developed various skills like crazy. The learnings have been just as crazy & mind-blowing. <\/p>
\nThere is so much more, beautiful memories, painful experiences, joyful events, tragic incidents and whatnot\u2026 Too much to put in a <5 min read - says Siraj\n<\/p>
I made valuable connections. <\/p>
I found my crowd.\nI found my creed. <\/p>
\nSince that day in grade 7, more than eight years have passed, and the difference between that Siraj and today's Siraj is galactic.\n<\/p>
There are a lot of people who have contributed to this growth but I\u2019d like to make some honourable mentions- people who made a huge difference.\nRachana Kanwar Shekhwat, Adnan Ali Khan, Mukul Dalal, Azeem Mujawar, Syed Fawaz Ali, Mohammed Anas Khan, Udayan Bakshi, Meraj Faheem, Dr. Hafeez Basha.<\/b><\/p>
I'm eternally grateful to all the friends who accepted the silent, clumsy weirdo who took an eternity to answer the simplest of questions and turned me into what I am today. Adds Siraj\n\n<\/p>
\u201cAs a butterfly stuck in a chrysalis, waiting for the perfect moment, I was waiting for the day I could burst forth and fly away and find my home<\/b>.\u201d \u2026 The above story of Siraj might be the common story for so many, it all stands on whether you took chance to change yourself and stood out from the crowd of similarities. <\/p>

There\u2019s the whole myth about rocket science. It\u2019s really not that hard. It\u2019s not brain surgery<\/b>, says John Powell, founder of JP Aerospace. This emphasises the prominence of rocketry. <\/p>
The World CanSat\/Rocketry Championship (WCRC) is generally an international competition open to elite competitors from around the world, representing their nations (as university student teams or as independent student teams), and winning this event will be considered the highest achievement in this field.

Knowing how to listen well and communicate clearly will help you express yourself in the best way possible during job interviews, business meetings, and in your personal life as well.<\/p>
The ability to communicate effectively is arguably the most important life skill of all. Ensuring that your message is clear and concise will go a long way in helping others understand your point of view. <\/p>
Improving your communication skills will also result in guiding others to express their needs and concern. <\/p>
Finding the balance between effective and efficient communication is the key to communicating well.<\/p>
Most people tend to lean towards either effective communication or efficient communication. The trick is to find the balance between the two. Effective communication means that you are focusing on ensuring the listener fully understands the message he is trying to deliver. Efficient communication means that you are trying to convey the message in the shortest time frame possible.<\/p>
Developing better communication habits requires several important skills that work in tandem with each other. Some of these skills involve the way you speak or hold your body, and others are more emotionally based interpersonal skills. <\/p>
Listening skills:<\/i><\/u><\/b> <\/p>
Clear communication starts with active listening. If you\u2019re just focused on how you are expressing yourself, chances are you are not listening or reacting to what others are bringing to the table.<\/p>
Pay close attention to what\u2019s being said and make others feel heard and considered.<\/p>
The best communicators are always good listeners. Active listening means engaging with what people say by giving affirmative replies and asking follow-up questions to show that you are paying attention.<\/p>
Empathy:<\/i><\/u><\/b> <\/p>
Being able to understand the feelings of those around you is an integral part of being an effective communicator. Empathizing means both understanding and relating to someone else\u2019s feelings. demonstrating an ability to empathize builds rapport between you and others and increases your ability to communicate.<\/p>
Nonverbal communication skills:<\/i><\/u><\/b> <\/p>
In addition to verbal messages, communication relies on nonverbal cues. Developing an awareness of your body language and tone of voice will improve your messaging and presentation skills.<\/p>
Mastering nonverbal cues and nonverbal signals can help prevent miscommunication and signal interest to those around you. Pay attention to your facial expressions and body language when you are speaking with someone in a professional setting. Your nonverbal cues affect the first impression you make on someone. Maintaining eye contact, limiting hand gestures, and having good posture go a long way when meeting someone for the first time.<\/p>
Public speaking:<\/u><\/b><\/i><\/p>
Public speaking may sound daunting, but there\u2019s no better way to develop good communication skills than by seeking out public speaking opportunities. Great communicators are able to clearly articulate their feelings, whether they\u2019re speaking to a large group or talking face-to-face to one other person. Regularly speaking in front of a group will magnify your strengths and weaknesses and force you to develop great communication habits.<\/p>
Did you ever have a life changing experience? Something that changes your view of things forever? <\/i><\/b><\/p>
Our field visit to The Hindu Printing Press<\/i><\/b> in Ramanthapur on 21st November<\/b><\/i> was one such experience that changed so many things forever. As students and aspiring Journalists this visit was a building block that would lay foundation for our careers in the field of Print Media and Broadcasting. The surreal experience in the premises of the most prominent Indian English Language Newspaper was nothing short of a dream coming true. <\/i>Just <\/b>Like a Scientist\u2019s outburst after discovering a ground breaking theory, an Athlete\u2019s reaction for creating a new record, our visit to the prestigious printing unit was the Best thing since sliced bread.<\/b>\n<\/i><\/p>
<\/i><\/p>
Unlike all other sectors, Press and Print Media is that one field that works at odd hours of the day to finish its job.<\/i> The printing of Daily editions starts in the late evening and lasts till 2 am based on the number of editions to be printed. Owing to this point we visited the printing press at around 3:30 pm in the afternoon. We were a total of 40 girls from both BA Psychology and Political Science accompanied by our Mass communication Faculty Mrs. Suzan and Ms. Tejasvi who are the masters behind planning the visit.<\/b> <\/i><\/p>
Since its inception in 1878, THE HINDU is one such daily newspaper that is highly regarded for its credibility and reliability even today. Its top- notch writing and content presentation has given it the recognition as a leading English language newspaper in India<\/i><\/u>.<\/i><\/b> <\/b><\/i>Its team members, editors, engineers, technicians and operators are that pillar of support and strength on which the newspaper is smoothly placed on.<\/b> Mr. Nagarjuna was one such Asset to the group with an experience of over 30 years in the field with The HINDU Group. He warmly welcomed us and remained our guide throughout our visit. <\/p>
Before entering the Unit we all deposited our mobiles to adhere to confidentiality norms and were quickly briefed by Mr. Nagarjuna about the process followed inside the Unit. He stated how at each step the person responsible must be vigilant and cautious, if not the cascading effects loom over the entire process and delay the dispatch. <\/i><\/p>
We were then ushered into various sub units in two batches for better experience. In the first unit we learned something really fascinating. But before going to that, H<\/b>ave you ever thought how the print of the text and the picture is rightly blended in the paper? Did you know that 3 primary colors and black color in different combinations can create all the colors from the color palette? Yes? No?<\/i><\/b><\/p>
If not for the visit to the printing unit we wouldn't have known that either. The operator in charge told us how the computer software divides the text and picture color into four sections - cyan, magenta, yellow and black<\/b>.<\/i><\/u> The process moves further when Aluminium lithographic printing plates come from the headquarters in Chennai. These Aluminium plates have the print of the pages on them which needs to be materialized into newspaper by using the four inks and the special paper material on which the content gets printed.<\/i> The result of this entire procedure is what we call as a Newspaper<\/i>.<\/b> Doesn't it make you feel - ' what's so much in this that she is going on about, isn't this how printing is usually done?'<\/b><\/p>
Yes you have a very valid question to ask, indeed every printing machine works this way, but the magnificent work a printing press does is unparalleled, such are the figures<\/i>. The gigantic machinery doing this sophisticated work costs a whopping 200 crores and it's worth is rightly put due to its top notch performance and high quality Printing with precision.<\/i><\/b> In the span of an hour several lakhs of copies<\/i><\/u> can be made without any difficulty. For much better quality Aluminium plates are changed for every 2 lakh copies that get printed. Come rain or shine everyday the work in these printing houses go on<\/u>, although most work is done by the machines there still remains certain work that the operators and technicians have to do by jumping through hoops to achieve the outcome that a newspaper is.<\/u><\/i><\/p>
This all might sound a little exaggerated but each and every one of us was flabbergasted<\/i> by the wonder that place was.It was the Aura of the place that made us curious and drew us closer to it. The metallic smell sprayed in the air, the ancient structure, the smell of ink on freshly printed Newspapers filled the entire Unit and remained at the base of our nostrils long after we left.<\/u><\/b> Mr. Nagarjuna and all the other crew members were magnanimous with their hospitality. No matter the number of questions we asked them they very generously answered them. <\/i><\/p>
Our Luck too was very supportive of us that day as we got the opportunity to see the Live printing and dispatching process of children's edition. One wouldn't believe when i say we were on cloud nine seeing the Live printing, we were this close to jumping and clapping our hands in excitement like a child when given with his favorite toy<\/b><\/i>. In the end when the gripper conveyor system through a delivery belt carries the papers for dispatch area we were all gazing the process with star eyes<\/i> and wide mouths<\/i>. Nothing else will describe our feeling as better as this. We relished every moment spent in the facility. That day we returned our homes with a smile of happiness and bagful of memories.<\/u><\/b><\/i><\/p>
Towards the end there is something that I wanted to address or rather request. For those 2 and half hours that we spent there we saw in first person, the creation of the end product of an entire team's work. Everyone from the person reporting the news, till the editors, designers, print operators and many others have put their efforts to materialize all of it into a single entity called Newspaper<\/b> and this clearly is a daily routine, which is practiced as a ritual with untiring zeal and efficiency. <\/b>As readers we hold this responsibility to give them the due recognition they deserve for the tremendous work put up,by reading the Newspapers<\/u>. <\/b><\/i><\/p>
The overall output that a newspaper is, cannot be replaced by any other medium as the online experience cannot be in par with the physical\/personal experience.<\/i><\/b><\/p>

But what is confidence, anyway?\n\nOften people think of confidence as something that the lucky few are born with and the rest are left wishing for. Not true. Confidence is not a fixed attribute; it\u2019s the outcome of the thoughts we think and the actions we take. No more; no less. It is not based on your actual ability to succeed at a task but on your belief in your ability to succeed.<\/p>
Of course, confidence can wax and wane throughout our lives. It\u2019s boosted when we experience a win or receive praise. It takes a hit when our efforts fall short of the mark, we're criticized, rejected, or simply feel a lack of external recognition. We\u2019re only human after all. It\u2019s therefore vital not to become overly reliant on external affirmation to prop up our self-worth but to take ownership for taking the worthwhile actions needed to sustain it.<\/p>
\u201cConfidence equals security equals positive emotion equals better performance,\u201d says Tony Schwartz<\/i><\/p>
and yet he concedes that \u201cinsecurity plagues consciously or subconsciously every human being I\u2019ve met.\u201d<\/i> <\/p>
Overcoming this self-doubt starts with honestly assessing your abilities (and your shortcomings) and then getting comfortable enough to capitalize on (and correct) them, This begs the question: <\/p>
\nHow do you build the confidence needed to overcome your challenges and achieve your goals, particularly when you don\u2019t first succeed?<\/p>
Preparation<\/u><\/b>\n<\/p>
Practice does make perfect. The best way to build confidence in a given area is to invest energy in it and work hard at it<\/p>
Practice can be very useful, and is highly recommended because, in addition to building confidence, it also tends to improve quality<\/p>
Even people who are confident in their abilities can become more so with better preparation.<\/p>
Get feedback when you need it<\/b><\/u>\n<\/p>
While you don\u2019t want to completely rely on others\u2019 opinions to boost your ego, validation can also be very effective in building confidence<\/p>
Be sure to pick people whose feedback will be entirely truthful and will leave a positive impact on yourself.<\/p>
Take risks<\/b><\/u><\/p>
Playing to your strengths is a smart tactic but not if it means you hesitate to take on new challenges. Many people don\u2019t know what they are capable of until they are truly tested.<\/p>
Try things you don\u2019t think you can do. Failure can be very useful for building confidence.<\/p>
Don't Care What Others Think<\/b><\/u><\/p>
There are going to be so many people who will tell you you can not accomplish what you set out to do<\/p>
And you absolutely can not listen to them. You must be resolute. While they tell you the odds are against you, etc., just remember most people are wrong about most things. Despite everyone around you telling you it can't be done. If you think you can do it, you can do it. Don't listen to them, believe in yourself and keep going.<\/p>
Monitor Your Progress<\/u><\/b><\/p>
The best way to reach your goals, big or small, is to break them into smaller goals and monitor your progress.<\/p>
Try to quantify your accomplishments<\/p>
It will help you stay on course, and you will build confidence as you see the progress you're making in real-time.<\/p>
While most of us are born with a healthy level of confidence, life throws us challenges that can derail our sense of confidence. However, reclaiming that self-confidence is possible and worth every effort you put in. <\/p>
When you're confident in yourself, Eskandani says, \"you start making decisions that are in line with what you truly want. You listen less to the well-meaning advice around you telling you what you should do, and you start doing things that you truly want to do.\"<\/p>

On 29th October, a bright sunny Saturday morning Villa Marie college was glowing with a ceremonious shine, well decorated and propped to host its long continuous tradition of throwing a Freshers Party<\/i> to welcome its most newest members with open and embracing arms<\/b>. It was only during the pandemic struck years that this streak of celebrating the arrival of its youngest members was broken in view of safety and social distancing norms. <\/p>
After two years, this year saw the revival of the infamous event with all the pomp and glory. No stone was left unturned to make the college premises look scintillating and welcoming. Everyone was at work to make this event a big success and something worth remembering in future.<\/p>
As the ritual goes by seniors from across the streams from the college participate to welcome their juniors. This time too the program was organised with grandeur by hiring Choreographers for various dance performances , teams were made and a theme was given to each team, props were staged and costumes for the respective themes were selected. For over two weeks practice sessions were conducted after college hours and students gave their 100 percent each time to give the best performance. Finally the day came when their hard work was to be put on stage one last time. <\/p>
The event started around 11 am with comperers addressing the crowd about the event and of the special segment - MISS FRESHER 2022 Contest<\/u><\/i><\/b>. Meanwhile, the chief guests for the event the Founder, Director and Correspondent Dr. Philomena, and the Secretary Ms. Chinnamma were ushered by the benevolent Principal of Degree College Mrs. Revathi Devi Mathur with elegant bouquets. <\/i>To judge Miss Fresher contest, two young judges were invited. The contest was conducted in a very sportive and competitive manner with several rounds to short list the final five among the 32<\/b> contestants who participated.<\/p>
There were a total of 10 dance performances each with a different theme to entertain the audience. All the efforts for weeks was put to its best, the audience had a gala time watching all the performances, and encouraged them with applause. The dress code for the event was traditional wear and one glance at the crowd could tell how evidently vibrant and colorful the environment is . Everyone had a delightful smile pasted on their faces while the event progressed forward. <\/i>Watching the juniors walk elegantly down the ramp with refined and exquisite manners was a total delight. All the contestants were sure -footed and confident without any display of nervousness or worry. <\/p>
The Climax performance had everyone sit at the edge of their seats. All the individual teams clubbed together for the last performance which they called it as the CLIMAX . It was the most captivating performance of the event and hence rightly positioned towards the end of the show which took everyone by surprise.<\/b><\/i> <\/b>After the performance results of Miss Fresher was announced and the winners were applauded with flower baskets and a sash to commend their efforts<\/i>. Further the dignitaries were requested to address the audience , followed by vote of thanks and handing out mementos to the event organizers, choreographers and all the support staff for lending their help in successfully culminating the event.<\/p>
Post the vote of thanks, dignitaries took leave and students were requested to have Lunch before leaving for the day. As lunch was being served , simultaneously DJ was being run in the background and several of them grooved to the beats enjoying every bit of it. The event ended on a high note with feelings of nostalgia running down everyone's veins. Arambha - hail the new journey <\/u><\/i><\/b>was not just a theme, it was a well - organized event that will surely remain as a memory down the memory lane for a long time.<\/p>
The grand success of the majestic event made sure that the legacy and<\/b><\/i> prestige that the college boasts of is carried forward with great pride and zeal for times that are to come. <\/b><\/i><\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1668920203781","data":"6379d7165a3d4"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1668920203782","data":"6379d7489af13"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1668920203783","data":"6379d75482dfa"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1668920203784","data":"6379d75e56c97"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1668920203785","data":"6379d76c227fc"}]
