While rock bands are amazing, bands that do not restrict themselves to a single genre of music have a larger appeal in the long run, as it shows their flexibility and versatility. Nimbus, a band made up for 4 students, is one such band. Managing college and music is not easy feat, and I'm sure they'll agree with us. Scroll all the way to the bottom for the video interview! <\/p>

Sankranti is a very important festival for us, and we know that in this very country, different cultures celebrate the coming of the harvest season different, but did you know that harvest festivals are not exclusive to India? Here are some more harvest festivals that you should know about<\/p>
1. Mid-Autumn Festival (September\u2013October) <\/b><\/p>
A very important festival in China, the Mid Autumn festival is held on a full moon day in September or October. Ceremonies are held both to give thanks for the harvest and to encourage the harvest-giving light to return again in the coming year, and special moon-cakes are baked for the occasion. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1484223246532","data":"5877737276741"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1484223248052","data":"
2. Pongal in Sri Lanka (January) <\/b> <\/p>
With it's sizable Tamil population, it's not a surprise that Pongal is a popular festival in Sri Lanka. The first day is devoted to the boiling of milk in a pot to which rice, jaggery and the syrup extracted from crushed sugar cane is added. This sweet rice pudding is offered first to the Sun God, and is then eaten at the climax of a family festive meal. The second day is dedicated to the oxen who assist the farmers in the rice fields. It is called Mattu (cattle) Pongal. The animals are washed and decorated with straw garlands hung around their necks and horns. The legend behind the festival, according to the Sri Lankan travel website, goes like this <\/p>
Once, Lord Shiva asked his bull, Nandi, to go to earth and tell the people to have an oil bath daily and have food once a month. But, Nandi got it all mixed up and told the people to eat daily and bathe monthly.\n\nShiva was annoyed and said,\"Now that people need to eat more, you stay on earth and help them plough the fields more!\" Thai Pongal is family-oriented and the day begins with the boiling of a clay pot of Pongol rice at sunrise in the front of the house as the family delightfully cries out, \"Pongal! Pongal! auchu!\" which means, \"It's boiling! It's boiling!\"<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1484223495358","data":"5877745e5fb63"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1484223547848","data":"

Unfortunately, I failed every other time to explain them in detail, how it feels like to achieve what you\u2019ve aspired for and what it takes, to be the one you always wanted to be. To me it was okay to handle the peer pressure, but my loved ones are in a stake of fear about my health, which kept ruining<\/b><\/i> every other time with the load of stress, which ultimately looked like a load of bull I\u2019ve been pulling all alone along. <\/p><\/p>Yes, it was not easy for me, it is never easy for the ones who always think about why it is not okay to keep an end to the thoughts, your brain has been running on! As an individual I failed<\/b> every other time to express what it feels like, to keep running on the thoughts to provide a solution for the problems rather than staying back there and complaining\/crying about which has already happened. As a graduate, we always had a problem with the society I.e, we need an opportunity to prove ones within! But ultimately the situation we fall in is: Either no one is interested in giving us an opportunity \/ If given, we need to prove in one shot. <\/i>Boom!<\/b> And you know what happened? We failed <\/b>in the first instinct. We failed not because we ain't good at it, we failed because we are not in a position to handle the peer pressure you put on us, which we couldn't succeed. Damn<\/b>, just because we failed it doesn't mean we fail every other time! Give a thought on about why we failed, but not on how to replace you is the question we wanted to burst out, but no one cares to listen it either. <\/p><\/p>Well, I live in a confusion. I\u2019m in a confusion that am getting older every other day, but not sure what am I actually doing. I wanted to make it big, I wish to make things worth the wait, but no sooner, there comes a moment I question again saying: Will this \u201cRealistic World<\/b>\u201d accept the change I want to bring in? Will these people around me understand not to demotivate me with the idea I dreamt<\/b> of? <\/p><\/p>Why should I wait for someone in the world to understand my dreams can be a question you can ask me? Well, what for am I making this dream come true is the question to you? #Bingo<\/b> We use technology more than what we needed it for. We have time to comment on posts on Facebook about ones depression, but not okay to take a moment to control your own depression and making your pillow not to see your tears again every other night. <\/p><\/p>\nMost importantly, there is a common question to every individual, asking about their passion. My dear people who are asking this question, try to understand you dare not to ask me that question again. These societal norms have been curbing\/crushing down everyone\u2019s passion now and then just like it did with mine and most of my fellow friends. In a race to have a settled job, a salary you can spend on your own, the timing you wanted to work in, we forgot about the passion we\u2019d to create our own identity. And you know what happened?? We question ourselves in return just because of you asking us about the passion I'd, which is no longer sustaining. The most painful regret I'd is asking a question which i never wanted to ask my own eternity; When did my passion DIE? <\/b>Well, Thank you by the way to the people who made this situation to come up at the moments when I'd neither any clue about it.<\/p><\/p>Honestly, when I was shuffling my racks the other day, I found a folder with bunch of papers in it. I\u2019m not surprised to figure out what they\u2019re but I was scared to read them out, because it is the story I\u2019ve been writing about my love with a person I planned for rest of eternity and of a dream with an ambition<\/i><\/b>. In my memories with the days back earlier, I found my situation silly and few words made a punch on my face with a powerful statement about something which I\u2019d a clarity about 2 years ago, but no longer any more. <\/p><\/p><\/p>A voice is still pending on! There is lot more to explain in detail how it feels like to be a graduate and how a graduate's voice be like.<\/p><\/p>To be continued....! <\/p> "}] {"cover_pic":"https:\/\/cdn.stumagz.com\/images\/58761a02ae464stryimg","category":"Internship","is_vip":"0","title":"GRYCS Requires Student Ambassadors","title_id":"grycs-requires-student-ambassadors","isEdit":0,"isAdmin":0,"authorFullName":"Team Stumagz","authorUserName":"stumagzsu","authorProfilePic":"\/\/cdn.stumagz.com\/images\/578691ea5d7baprofilepic","authorMagzName":"Team Stumagz","authorCity":"Hyderabad","like_count":0,"cmnt_count":0,"type":6,"isApproved":2,"publishedInName":"Team Stumagz","publishedInLink":"team","publishedInLogo":"\/\/cdn.stumagz.com\/images\/stumagzprofilepic","publishedInCode":"team","country":"IND","keywords":"Communication Skills,Administrative skills,Organisational Skills","isBookingEnabled":0,"privacy_status":"1","jobrole":"Student Ambassadors","jobloc":"Hyderabad","proj_status":"Not available","abstract":"Communication Skills, Administrative skills, Organisational Skills","jobtime":"2017-01-12 to 2017-02-05","perks":" upto 1000 \/-","url":"https:\/\/www.stumagz.com\/grycs-requires-student-ambassadors\/","has_form":1,"is_appln_closed":"0","max_no_of_applns":"100000","likeStatus":0,"is_applied":0,"form_data":[{"id":"1","caption":"Name","values":"","type":"para"},{"id":"2","caption":"Email","values":"","type":"para"},{"id":"3","caption":"College","values":"","type":"para"}]} [{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1484131943368","data":"Description:<\/b><\/p>As a student Ambassador you should promote Zumba Riot (Zumba and Dance Fitness) event which is on 5th February, 2017, in college and get minimum number of students signed up for the event.<\/p>The Student Ambassadors will get below benefits: <\/b><\/p>1.

The statements \"you are a girl, this is a boys' sport\"; \"you're a girl, this sport is dangerous for you\"; \"you're a girl, taking part in a sport like this shames your family\" might seem like translations of dialogues from the movie Dangal <\/i>but were actually experienced by this 20 year old student Saara Qureshi. Born to a middle class family from Gadchiroli, Maharashtra, Saara was always good at sports and at the age of 12, her school coach advised her to stick to one sport and that's how she chose boxing. She was in the news recently for being selected to represent India in the upcoming World Chess Boxing Championship; in the heavyweight category. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1484220327349","data":"
Chess Boxing is a unique that combines Chess and Boxing, wherein the boxers take part in alternating rounds of Chess and Boxing. \"Though I am a boxer primarily, I like the mental challenge that chess gives me and that is the reason I am also into this sport,\" explains Saara, who has won several medals in various levels since 2009. The road so far has been rough for her, as her family was against it. \"I am from a Muslim family and in our society in Gadchiroli, girls taking up sports is heavily looked down upon and it was very difficult for me in my initial stages. My father was dead against me taking up the sport,\" shares Saara, whose coach slowly convinced her father to let her pursue the sport.<\/p>
\"Even after I started winning medals, there was still a lot of pressure from everyone and to get away from the restrictions and to be able to pursue my sport with all my concentration, I came to Hyderabad and I joined in AV College here and since then, I have been able to practice freely,\" says the 5'9 tall girl who practices for over eight hours every day. After she came to Hyderabad, things became tough for her financially as her father could not afford to pay for all of her coaching, fitness and nutritional needs, as she explains \"My father found it very difficult to afford it all but luckily enough, my friends have been helping me out financially and right now I am on the look out for a sponsor.\"<\/p>
When asked who her inspiration is, the reply is instantaneous and she says \"It is my coach, Durga Prasad sir. He is the one who keeps inspiring me and motivating me.\" But she also says her father is her motivation, in the sense that though he had his inhibitions initially, he trusted her and had faith in her and she believes that is what every father should do, \"Parents should trust their children and believe in them rather than the society. Especially parents of girls; they should trust their girls and give them the freedom to pursue anything they want to,\" she says, before adding \"Girls, in turn, should not be scared of anything and should never be scared of stepping into something that is traditionally considered to be a male arena, like my own sport.\"<\/p>
We wish her the best and hope to see her as an Olympian boxer! <\/p>

SS Rajamouli took to facebook earlier today to praise the work of Director Krish and actor Balakrishna for their latest movie, Gautamiputra Satakarni, calling it one of Telugu cinema's best works in years. With the movie getting rave reviews, and your friends making plans to watch the movie, did you know that the movie is based on a real life king of the Satavahana Empire based in the Deccan Region? Here are facts you should know!<\/p>
1. Satakarni ascended to the throne in 2nd Century CE<\/b><\/p>

The inquisitive boys asked him how he did it? He replied \"Whatever you are doing, put your whole mind on it. If you are shooting, your mind should be only on the target. Then you will never miss. If you are learning your lessons, think only of the lesson. In my country boys are taught to do this.\"<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1561527711592","data":"58761236acfb6"}]
1. Well-read: <\/b><\/p>
Swami Vivekananda was a voracious reader. While he stayed in Chicago, he used to go to the library and borrow large volumes of books and return them to the librarian in a days time. The frustrated librarian then asked Swami Vivekananda why he borrowed books when he doesn't want to read them, she was all the more annoyed when he said he finished reading all of those books. She said she would take a test and selected a random page from a book and asked him to tell what was written there; without even a glance at the book he repeated the lines exactly as they were written. She asked him several more questions and he answered all of them without a flaw.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1561527711584","data":"587613c98c82e"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1561527711585","data":"
2. The Fearless:<\/b><\/p>
Swami Vivekananda was 8 years old when this incident happened. He loved to dangle head down from a champak tree in his friend's compound. One day he was climbing the tree and an old man approached him asking him not to climb the tree. The old man was probably scared that Swami could fall and break his limbs or was just being protective about the chamapaka flowers. when the kid questioned him why the old man told him that there was a ghost living on the tree and it would hurt him and break his neck if he climbed the tree again. Swami nodded and the old man walked away. The not so convinced 8-year-old climbed the tree again, all of his friends were scared and asked him why he was doing it despite knowing that he would be hurt; he laughed and said 'What a silly fellow you are! Don't believe everything just because someone tells you! If the old grandfather's story was true then my neck would have been broken long ago.'<\/p>
Now that's exceptional common sense for an 8-year-old, isn't it!<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1561527711586","data":"587613538aec4"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1561527711587","data":"
3. He was incredibly compassionate:<\/b><\/p>
Swami Vivekananda represented India and Hinduism in the Parliament of World religion, in Chicago, and before going abroad, he was tested by his mother on whether he had the right to preach Hinduism. After a delicious supper, both of them sat down to eat some fruits. Swami cut the fruit, ate it and after that, his mother asked him for the knife; he handed over the knife to his mother and she was more than pleased. She said 'you have passed the test and you are now eligible to preach the world,' a confused Swami questioned her what was she talking about?<\/p>
His mother replied, \"Son, when I asked for the knife, I saw how you handed it to me, you gave the knife by holding its sharp edge and kept the wooden handle of knife towards me; so that I would not get hurt when I take it and this means you took care of me. And this was your test in which you passed.\"<\/p>
To have compassion and being able to take good care of others is a remarkable quality, it is the law of the nature that the more selfless you are the more you will receive; and so did Swami Vivekananda.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1561527711588","data":"587612be0fa7c"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1561527711589","data":"
4. The Wit:<\/b><\/p>
Swami was travelling in a train and was wearing a wrist watch that caught the attention of a few girls present in the train, they were making fun of his clothes and his appearance; they decided to play a prank.<\/p>
The girls asked him to give them the watch else they would complain to the cops that he was harassing them, he then remained silent and acted deaf; made signs to the girls to write what they wanted to say on a piece of paper, the girls wrote it on the paper and gave it to him. <\/p>
Any ideas what he did next? He then spoke; he called the cops and said 'I have a complaint to make.'<\/p>

In recent times, I\u2019d been complaining about life being so tough\/complex to handle with the ones who stood there waiting for the moment I would be speaking out. Unfortunately, I failed every other time to explain them in detail, how it feels like to achieve what you\u2019ve aspired for and what it takes, to be the one you always wanted to be. To me it was okay to handle the peer pressure, but my loved ones are in a stake of fear about my health, which kept ruining<\/b><\/i> every other time with the load of stress, which ultimately looked like a load of bull I\u2019ve been pulling all alone along. <\/p>
Yes, it was not easy for me, it is never easy for the ones who always think about why it is not okay to keep an end to the thoughts, your brain has been running on! As an individual I failed<\/b> every other time to express what it feels like, to keep running on the thoughts to provide a solution for the problems rather than staying back there and complaining\/crying about which has already happened. As a graduate, we always had a problem with the society I.e, we need an opportunity to prove ones within! But ultimately the situation we fall in is: Either no one is interested in giving us an opportunity \/ If given, we need to prove in one shot. <\/i>Boom!<\/b> And you know what happened? We failed <\/b>in the first instinct. We failed not because we ain't good at it, we failed because we are not in a position to handle the peer pressure you put on us, which we couldn't succeed. Damn<\/b>, just because we failed it doesn't mean we fail every other time! Give a thought on about why we failed, but not on how to replace you is the question we wanted to burst out, but no one cares to listen it either. <\/p>
Well, I live in a confusion. I\u2019m in a confusion that am getting older every other day, but not sure what am I actually doing. I wanted to make it big, I wish to make things worth the wait, but no sooner, there comes a moment I question again saying: Will this \u201cRealistic World<\/b>\u201d accept the change I want to bring in? Will these people around me understand not to demotivate me with the idea I dreamt<\/b> of? <\/p>
Why should I wait for someone in the world to understand my dreams can be a question you can ask me? Well, what for am I making this dream come true is the question to you? #Bingo<\/b> We use technology more than what we needed it for. We have time to comment on posts on Facebook about ones depression, but not okay to take a moment to control your own depression and making your pillow not to see your tears again every other night. <\/p>
\nMost importantly, there is a common question to every individual, asking about their passion. My dear people who are asking this question, try to understand you dare not to ask me that question again. These societal norms have been curbing\/crushing down everyone\u2019s passion now and then just like it did with mine and most of my fellow friends. In a race to have a settled job, a salary you can spend on your own, the timing you wanted to work in, we forgot about the passion we\u2019d to create our own identity. And you know what happened?? We question ourselves in return just because of you asking us about the passion I'd, which is no longer sustaining. The most painful regret I'd is asking a question which i never wanted to ask my own eternity; When did my passion DIE? <\/b>Well, Thank you by the way to the people who made this situation to come up at the moments when I'd neither any clue about it.<\/p>
Honestly, when I was shuffling my racks the other day, I found a folder with bunch of papers in it. I\u2019m not surprised to figure out what they\u2019re but I was scared to read them out, because it is the story I\u2019ve been writing about my love with a person I planned for rest of eternity and of a dream with an ambition<\/i><\/b>. In my memories with the days back earlier, I found my situation silly and few words made a punch on my face with a powerful statement about something which I\u2019d a clarity about 2 years ago, but no longer any more. <\/p>
A voice is still pending on! There is lot more to explain in detail how it feels like to be a graduate and how a graduate's voice be like.<\/p>
