The TASK programme highlights the drive of the Telangana government to ensure the youth of backward and underprivileged areas of the state are empowered enough to stand on their own two legs, keeping in line of their promise to develop all of Telangana. To say this is an excellent initiative is an understatement, as empowered the youth of today only means a better future for their families and those who will come after them.

Battle of bands held in colleges bring out some of the best student bands in the city (and sometimes even outside the city), and are a joy to witness, because they serve as a great example of the music scene of the city and a tribute to their inspirations. But, when a band is formed due to a battle of the bands event, you can be sure they know the capabilities of their peers before deciding to collaborate with them. <\/p>
Fieto and Fables is one such band, one that was formed when the members met each other at a Battle of Bands competition. \"It is funny really, in the beginning there was just me, Beno and Benny. What started as a competition turned into a jamming session because we were having incredible amounts of fun,\" says Fieto Rohith, who prefers to be known by his stage name, \"the band slowly expanded from 3 people to 6, and that's where we are right now.\"<\/p>
We speak with Rohith, the vocalist of the band about Fieto and Fables, their journey so far and the challenges they've faced. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490001474859","data":"58cf9fe3bcade"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490001833945","data":"
\"We have Vicky on the drums, Sam, the beatboxer, Benny the lead guitarist, he also plays rhythm from time to time, Rohit, another Rohit in the band, is the bassist, although he plays the keyboard and guitar too, and finally, Beno, who is super talented with everything, from bass, to drums, to guitars\" says Fieto Rohith about his squad. <\/p>
A student of Guru Nanak Pharmacy College, Rohith recounts bringing the band together and performing at gigs, \"It is amazing really, from jamming together without knowing who we were, to forming a band today, it feels really amazing.\"<\/p>
The members of the bands come from different colleges, \"We have people from Shreyas, St. Mary's and St. Peters. It was music that brought us together\" he smiles. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490002166506","data":"58cfa141ae4fb"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490002187495","data":"
The conversation shifted gradually towards the future and the hardships they faced juggling their music and their studies, on which Rohith says, \"It is not easy, getting together to just jam is difficult on most days, because of college timings, and various other factors like distance. Personally, I decided to take a break and simply stopped going to college so I can focus on my music. I might go back, or I might not, that remains to be seen, but obviously I can't ask band mates to drop their life and come running for this,\" he laughs, \"It's not their fault, it is what it is.\"<\/p>
Moving on to what he would like to tell students who want to pursue their own careers in music, he says, \"Start young, that really is the best thing one can do. Start young, be dedicated to what you want to achieve, don't be afraid of failure because failure will be a part and parcel of the path you've chosen. This is about believing in yourself, believing that you can do it. So be brave and prepared to do things out of the box\" he concludes. <\/p>

With increasing instances of violence against women and women being subjected to various forms of sexual harassment, it is up to everyone (especially students), to do something about it. Along these lines, the students of JNTU started an initiative, Nirbhaya. The initiative aims to teach self-defense techniques to all the girls in JNTU and affiliated colleges. They plan on expanding to 20 colleges within a span of three months.<\/p>
A martial arts expert will be available for four days in a week with the girls having the option of choosing one session every week. The trainer will then teach the girls various levels of self defense, to protect themselves in any situation.<\/p>

Having come from a family of journalists, she was always inclined towards media and when it was time to choose her career path, she ended up being an RJ.

But I just had no patience and fortunately, got an opportunity of being a Quiz Master on Yuva Vani. As luck would have it, the original host arrived and I was relegated to being the score keeper! That was my debut on air and thus began my long affair with the love of my life \u2013 Radio. My ultimate ambition in life was to be a newsreader on AIR like Barun Haldar and Vijay Daniels. Post my graduation, I went on to become a Hindi announcer with Doordarshan and from a professional Voice Over artist, doing Radio ads, TV commercials, corporate films, Emceeing, reading the news for Rozana (DD), being on Aap ki Adalat Aap ka Faisla (Zee TV), to voicing some of the best shows on Zee of those times \u2013 \u2018Zaika ka safar\u2019, Let's Talk with Anuradha Prasad, Insight, I did it all.

I was the prime-time jock with them when we started in Delhi, hosting the evening drive time show called \u2018Bumber to Bumper\u2019. The show and the frequency got such immense popularity that I became a \u2018mini local celebrity\u2019.\u201d he radio with my father and was fascinated with the idea of capturing the attention of listeners with just the power of one\u2019s voice.

But life has its way of being bad and right when Pallavi was enjoying her career as an RJ and rejoicing her new motherhood, she woke up one day in August 2005 and was unable to breathe. It worsened after fifteen days, as Pallavi shares, \u201cOne morning, as I started to brush my teeth, I could not spit the froth out. It went splashing all over the wash basin and my cheeks felt lifeless. I had to put my fingers inside my mouth to get the froth out. I thought I would choke. My gynecologist directed me to neurologist Dr. Vinit Suri who after a series of tests, diagnosed my condition as \u201cMyasthenia Gravis\u201d which at that moment was Greek to us. What we also did not know was that OUR beautiful life was changing forever from that precise moment\u201d.

Myasthenia Gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that is characterized by fluctuating weakness of the voluntary muscle groups with symptoms that can include drooping eyelids, blurred or double vision, slurred speech, difficulty chewing and swallowing, weakness in the arms and legs, chronic muscle fatigue and difficult breathing. Pallavi says of her condition \u201cFrankly speaking, the year it hit me, that is 2005, I had no time to give it undue importance since I had a small baby to look after and a target of getting back on air as soon possible. However, as the months went by, I realized that the steroids were not of much use and the main medicine for muscle strengthening was also not working well. That is when the doctor suggested Thymectomy, removal of the Thymus gland which involved cutting the sternum. That surgery done, Thymoma was discovered and I had to undergo chemotherapy and radiation that pulled me down completely. What however, came as a rude shock was that post my surgery too, I was unable to speak clearly. The slur was gone but the voice was feeble. No one could hear me. I had to keep a bell next to my bed to call for help. People had to keep their ears next to my face to hear what I whispered. Apparently, one of my vocal chords got paralyzed on the operation table, during the surgery. Luckily, we have two of them which somehow got me going. The ENT had clearly said I would never be able to go back on air. I took it up as a challenge and told my mother who was nursing me, that I would prove the doctor wrong. Soon after the (open heart) Thymus removal, I took help from Pawan Kumar \u2013 my yoga guru, who further instilled confidence in me saying that he would ensure I got back my voice. Since one vocal chord was paralyzed, we worked on the other and I did yoga, pranayam and meditation. And within months I could feel the difference. My husband Rahul, my rock solid support \u2013 forever optimistic, goaded me on. He encouraged me to do the 7 km dream run in the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon the following year. Training with a supremely talented Reebok Instructor, Shiba Mehra for the Marathon, I continued my training the entire year, and the next year, thanks to her and Rahul, I ran, jogged, walked and dragged the 21 km Airtel Delhi half Marathon. My husband, a serial marathon runner, let go of his timing, to be right next to me in the entire 21 km track and telling me time and again, that it is \u2018All in the mind\u2019. We completed the half marathon. All was good. Or so I thought\u201d.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490004588906","data":"58cfaab0ef6aa"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490004402541","data":"
Pallavi continues \u201cA few months later the breathlessness started again and once again the tumour surfaced behind my left lung and I underwent another major surgery and 5 tumours were removed followed by chemotherapy and radiation. This time I questioned. Why? Why this? Why now when I had been looking after my body so well. I had never been fitter than this ever in my life. Eating the most nutritious food, being responsible, taking life easy, respecting each breath \u2013 life changed drastically. I was suddenly prone to all types of infections all the time. If I went barefoot on the floor for as much as less than a minute I would catch a cold that would take 20 days to go. Pneumonia and lung infections became so common in my life that ventilator now seemed a friend and the ICU, a second home. I still got over it all. Post the second major surgery, my action and daily life was restricted after a very bad attack of pneumonia. Suddenly I lost a lot of weight and was losing strength in my hands, legs, shoulder, facial muscles and my neck. A quick MRI showed \u2018Hot spots\u2019 in the right lung. The doctors, after much deliberation, decided to remove the hot spots as a precautionary measure. That meant a third major surgery which gave short term respite. In October 2016, I had Type 2 lung failure and was back on the ventilator and the ICU. The year had been tough. Insomnia had charred my life. Post the third surgery, my diaphragm had not only moved up causing the left lung to shrink with no space at all but it had also forgotten its job. The result was that I was unable to sleep on my back; I would sleep sitting on the bed for 2 hours at a stretch only to lose balance and fall of the bed. It worsened to the extent that I would doze off during day time, in meetings and even while standing. One day I fell 180 degrees on my back barely missing my brain. I was rushed to the hospital and was in ICU for a fortnight. Since then I have been on an AVAP BIPAP machine, an external non-invasive ventilator, that I need to use for 2 hours during the day but now at least, I can sleep well in a lying down position\u201d. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490004432682","data":"
After that MG attack in 2005, though she could not host the show as she had lost one of her vocal chords, she didn\u2019t stop her career in Radio and she went on to become the breakfast show producer. But Pallavi was determined to get back on air and had promised herself that one day she would. While she did make a comeback on air in 2011, her remaining vocal chord could not sustain the long show and she had to step down. \u201cRadio mirchi supported me throughout and later I was put in charge of the CSR division - Mirchi Cares - and I consider it my baby. We provide not just audio support and entertainment to the blind and visually impaired but also provide music education to them and the under-privileged children. Am proud to be associated with the making of the first braille menu for the blind in Delhi at Chungwa restaurant as also the 3-in-1 all accessible menu in the Bombay Blue chain of restaurant in Mumbai.\" <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490004460460","data":"
Pallavi shares \u201cIn my entire struggle over the past 11 years, the office has stood by me rock solid. Never questioning my absence and allowing me to work from home. Thanks to technology and now the nature of my work where I do not have to work in the studio hands-on, working from home has been a boon. I can\u2019t thank enough Prashant Pandey (CEO), Tapas Sen, G .G.Jayanta and Riya Mukherjee for reposing that faith in me. And that is why I too ensure not to disappoint anyone. Working as Group Head, CSR, Radio Mirchi, I have both the pleasure and satisfaction that I need from my work. Radio Mirchi\u2019s CSR projects have won many accolades over the years like ABN News CSR Awards 2016 and 2017, ACEF CSR Awards 2016, National CSR Leadership award 2016, Blue Dart-Global CSR Excellence Leadership Awards 2016, E4M awards, Readers Digest Pegasus Award, Golden Peacock CSR awards to name a few\u201d. She was named one of the top 100 CSR workers globally last year during the World CSR day and this year, was honored as \u2018SRL Woman of Substance 2017\u2019on the occasion of International Women\u2019s Day. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490004607620","data":"58cfaac339b5f"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490004490615","data":"
Despite having had such a condition, she did not give up and is very optimistic about life. This fighter attitude is what keeps her going and she makes it a point to take care of herself well, as she explains, \u201cThanks to yoga and meditation, I have been able to calm my mind and regular body massages are helping me get back my strength in my legs and hands. I have recently given up on gluten and try to consume at least 70% of my daily food intake of only raw vegetables and fruits, juices, soups and salads. I gave up on sugar and milk a year ago. Refined food is almost totally out of the household. And the difference is staring right at our faces. High energy levels and a happier us. Also, the support of my family \u2013 my husband, mother and brother, has been phenomenal and that has kept me going\u201d. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490004511744","data":"
Her strength is emphasized more so in the fact that she penned a book when she was in ICU. Speaking of the book - \u201cICU Love Stories\u201d, she says, \u201cI wrote it simply because I was the only one conscious in the ICU, with a phone in hand and witnessing love stories unfolding in front of me. What began as an observation of an old couple ended up as a short story in the Evernote app of my Samsung Neo 3 handset. In the Neuro and Stroke ICU, where I spent a substantial number of days in 2015, all patients on the beds were zoned out and were in another world. I would see their near and dear ones come with the same amount of exuberance and hope and of course love, to see them morning and evening during the visiting hours. Completely bored with nothing else to do, I started observing and noting the story of each bed. A little bit of a chat with the sisters\/nurses to get more info on the patient and a lot of observation had love stories waiting to be told.\u201d<\/p>
\n\nShe also has a blog where she shares her life with fellow Myasthenia Gravis sufferers and explains, \u201cI feel maybe this is what the purpose of my life is, to share my story so that others with MG know that they are not alone. I know and want others also to know that this too shall pass\u201d. <\/p>"}]
