Naraka Chaturdashi, which is also known as Choti Diwali, Naraka Nivaran Chaturdashi or Kali Chaudas, is celebrated on the 2nd day of Diwali festival. On the 14th day of the Hindu month of Ashwin , Lord Krishna and Goddess Kali both killed the evil demon Narakasura.\n\nNarakasur, the evil rakshas, would kidnap the women or gopis and often ill-treat them. Then Satyabhama, one of the wives of Krishna,\u00a0asked Lord Krishna to grant her the power so that she could destroy him. Narakasur was cursed with a condition where he would be killed by a female only. \n Hence, Lord Krishna cleverly agreed to Satyabhama's request. She then, fought a 14 day battle, and beheaded Narakasur. Thus, releasing the imprisoned Gopi's and protecting their Honour.\n\nHence, this day is also called \u2018Kali Chaudas\u2019, where \u2018Kali\u2019 means \u2018dark\u2019 and \u2018Chaudas\u2019 means \u2018fourteenth\u2019. This day falls a night before Diwali. Effigies of Narakasur are burnt similar to Ravana on this day.<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1572151896956},{"id":1572152468108,"type":"img","data":"5db52494be5d4"},{"data":"
Diwali is not just celebrated as a homecoming of Lord Ram back to Ayodhya after he killed Ravana. Here are other reasons why Diwali is celebrated:\n\n1)Krishna killed Narakaasur:\u00a0Narakaasure who invaded the three worlds was defeated byr Lord Krishna a day before Diwali. The next day of Diwali is celebrated as Naraka Chaturdasi. \u00a0 2)Goddess Laxmi\u2019s birthday:\u00a0Goddess Laxmi is one of the most principal dieties of Hindu religion and also the \u2018Goddess of Wealth\u2019.

Sudeep Ayyalasomayajula,<\/b><\/i> the 2nd year Mechanical Engineering student of Vignan Institute of Technology and Sciences considers photography a lively hobby. <\/p>
<\/p>
While he likes to experiment with photography, candid portraits of people remain to be one of his favorites. When asked about what makes them so admirable to him, he responds,\"Clicking the candid pictures of people is almost like capturing them, the true them and the real moments.\"<\/i><\/p>

United Kingdom held a referendum on 23 June 2016, seeking public opinion on its withdrawal from the European Union (EU). 51.9% of the voters opted for it and subsequently, the United Kingdom invoked the Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, which allows any member state to exit the union. This move by UK has been termed Brexit<\/p>
It initiated a two-year process which was supposed to conclude with the UK's exit on 29 March 2019 but this deadline has since been extended to 31 October 2019.<\/p>
Subsequently, David Cameron, the then Prime Minister of United Kingdom resigned on 24 June 2016 and less than a month later, on 13 July 2016, Theresa May assumed office as the Prime Minister. <\/p>
Early this year, on 15 January, a vote was held on Withdrawal Agreement in the UK House of Commons, wherein the UK government was defeated.<\/p>
Another vote was held on 12 March, which saw the same result.<\/p>
After this, the UK Government passed a motion to extend the Article 50 period and the European Council offered to extend the Article 50 period until 22 May 2019 under the condition that the Withdrawal Agreement is passed by 29 March 2019; failing which, the UK was given a deadline of 12 April 2019 to show a way forward. <\/p>
On 29 March 2019, a third vote was held where the UK government was defeated again, following which, Theresa May requested EU on 5 April 2019 for a second time, to extend the Article 50 period until 30 June 2019. <\/p>
On 10 April 2019, EU extended it to 31 October 2019 or the first day of the month after that in which the Withdrawal Agreement is passed, whichever comes first.<\/p>
Following this, on May 24, Theresa May announced her resignation as the Prime Minister and as the leader of the Conservative Party, effective from June 7, having repeatedly failed to finalise Brexit.<\/p>
Later, on July 24, Boris Johnson became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, making him the third PM since the referendum.<\/p>
On October 17, The UK and European Commission agreed on a new withdrawal agreement containing a revised protocol on Northern Ireland.<\/p>
On October 24, the British government introduced the EU (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill in the House of Commons with the long title \"A Bill to Implement, and make other provision in connection with, the agreement between the United Kingdom and the EU under Article 50(2) of the Treaty on European Union which sets out the arrangements for the United Kingdom\u2019s withdrawal from the EU\".<\/p>
The EU is now waiting for UK to finalise it before the deadline.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1571997268301","data":"

College is something I looked forward to my whole life, the idea of going to college made me feel mature and grown up. And now that I am studying in a college, my dreams have turned into reality. Like almost every school going child, I would also hear a lot about college life, aka: the adult life you know the life where you make your own choices, create your own world and actually get to live in it and now being a college student I get it: <\/p>
There are 2 sides to everything let me tell you the best parts:<\/p>
1) It teaches me to survive without my phone :P<\/p>
2) I'm surrounded by people with different and unique personalities and this help's me broaden my perspective and educate myself<\/p>
3) The lecturers that I'm blessed with are wired with one goal and that is to help us as students to have a bright future and to identify our interests <\/p>
4) I'm surrounded by like-minded people<\/p>
5) Learning that everything is possible. <\/p>
6) b\u0336u\u0336l\u0336l\u0336y\u0336i\u0336n\u0336g\u0336 <\/p>
7) Freedom to voice out my opinions in any area, I'm allowed to say what I feel and think.<\/p>
8) I'm always encouraged to try new things.<\/p>
9) Realize my full potential, and get out of my comfort zone.<\/p>
10) Be the best version of myself and to work hard and achieve great heights.<\/p>

I usually write my blogs on Mondays but I was travelling and I couldn't write on Monday. I attended a startup event in Dublin, Ireland last week. The trip also included a short stop in London and later I went to Dublin. While it was obviously an exciting thing for me as I got to travel to two different countries, it was extremely exciting for me to meet many top-notch startup CEOs and investors and learn from them. The conversations I had with them makes me write this now and makes me want to advise students to be curious all the time.<\/p>
For instance, my curiosity is what led me to do everything that I did in life so far and even start this company. I was curious to know, to learn and the more I learnt, the more it made me want to excel. Even now, my curiosity is what makes me want to learn more and continue improving myself on how I run stuMagz and how I lead my teams. I can say this with conviction especially after this trip of mine because of the conversations I had with entrepreneurs from all over the globe as those conversations put things in perspective for me and now I am confident of handling certain things in a different manner when it comes to my life as an entrepreneur and as a CEO of a startup.<\/p>
The best thing you can do for yourself as a student is have a child-like curiosity about everything around you. Children are always curious about everything around them and they ask a lot of questions. You can and should do the same. For example, you go to a college fest in some other college, be curious about every event that goes on there. You will discover things about yourself that you didn't know before. In most cases, it will make you realise what you don't know and make you want to learn and grow. You go to a conference\/talk, make the most of it and interact with everyone around you, and not just with the speakers, interact and network with other students there as you will definitely learn something that you don't know. You come across a term somewhere that you don't know, immediately google about it. Keep track of events on stuMagz to find out about interesting events. Keep playing the daily quiz to test your own knowledge and to update your knowledge.<\/p>
Stay curious and let your curiosity enable your growth!<\/p>"}]
I have been involved with stuMagz for almost three years now and prior to this, I led teams of freshers in other places that I worked at. Whether it is dealing with students or with freshers, one thing that continuously frustrates me is the fact that most of these people (regardless of how skilled they are at what they do), seem to have no sense of accountability whatsoever. Freshers and students make mistakes while working, owing to their lack of experience in best-practices or whichever but they seem to lack any sense of responsibility and work ethic. If you're thinking I am ranting this to blame students, you are wrong. I am ranting this to blame colleges and the education system that we have put in place which infantilises even adult students.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1571720866882","data":"
What triggered this thought in me on a Monday when I am supposed to start my work week with a bang and impress the living hell out of my bosses with my self-proclaimed stellar efficiency? I read a news item which said students in some college in Karnataka were made to wear cardboard boxes on their heads in an attempt to stop them from cheating in an exam. This de-humanising and humiliating treatment of students is just a symbol of the way students aren't even considered people by most college faculty members. I read another news item which spoke of UP government banning mobile phones in colleges (though this was later corrected by some news sources as false news). The fundamental point here is that colleges behave in a manner that treats adult students as children and this seems to stem from the perception that 'elders' usually have - 'you are children, you don't know anything'.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1571720866883","data":"
I firmly believe, if anything, students and youngsters know more than 'elders' in many aspects as their knowledge is the collective knowledge of what they acquired by themselves and the knowledge imparted to them by the 'elders'. With this, I choose to state that colleges should stop behaving in this manner and start imparting a sense of responsibility in students and hold them accountable for their actions instead of blindly imposing age-old perceptions on students. A student doesn't attend classes, he\/she won't probably know what has been taught and subsequently doesn't do the exams well, then so be it, let the student deal with the consequences of it. Things like this will teach youngsters accountability and responsibility than blindly imposing rules on them and infantilising them. <\/p>
This kind of behaviour on colleges' part is partly because of the importance the education system puts on clearing exams than on educating the students and partly because of the 'elders are better than younger ones' perception. Clearing exams should be a by-product of education, not the other way round. Colleges should ensure a student learns everything that is required to function as an adult as opposed to just having a certificate.<\/p>
To reaffirm my point, as I was writing this, a friend of mine who is a fresh graduate in her first job, called me up and I was telling her about it and she agreed with it a 100% as the company that hired her was spending a lot of time training the recruits on various dynamics involved in a workplace and she told me people there were still worried whether their phones would be taken away or some such. These 22-23 year-olds still have a sense of being under complete authority, because colleges treated them like that and never let them make their choices. Their trainers were passing snide comments on how freshers are dumb and don't know anything (this is something that even I have been guilty of doing) but those comments are actually true because of how colleges treat students.<\/p>
Colleges should start treating students like individuals, like people. Period. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1571720866884","data":"

A library is a place where we learn new things. A place where we can be there for hours and not realise where has time gone by. I know there are a lot of people who would disagree with me. But for the people who love to read library is no less than a heaven. <\/p>","type":"txt","id":1571645303654},{"data":"
While the same can be said for sports. People can't go a day without playing some or the other sports especially the one they love. <\/p>","type":"txt","id":1571645702190},{"data":"

But having a balance of both sports and studies are important in today's life. We don't have much day to day outdoor activity so sports helps us keep our body in shape while reading keeps our mind in shape. So both are important. Do you agree?<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1571646027833}]
