The first ever salary I ever got, I bought my mother a saree, and I bought myself this watch. I didn't make much, but it was worth the hole I was burning in my pocket, I spent nearly the entire month extremely frugally, but was happy for the entire month anyway because why wouldn't I be, I had bought this watch and my mother was really happy with the surprise gift. <\/p>
Obviously it goes without saying that I love this watch for what it is, a sturdy and durable piece of beautiful craftsmanship that is the trademark of every Edifice device. While it is not a chronograph, the build of the watch and its look more than make up for the cost of the device. Here's our review! <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1497004252784","data":"593a793f59edd"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1497004280643","data":"
Very rarely does a device manage to look better than the promotional pictures used to sell it, but that's not the case with this watch. It's perhaps one of the very few products I can find that manages to look better than it does in the picture. It's metallic body and shine will attract eyes to its dials, and the dials are beautiful, to say the least. I've had the watch for 4 years now, and its still going strong, as shiny as the day I first opened it. Almost.<\/p>
The blue (forgive me for not knowing the exact name of the colour) dial grabs eyeballs and is a great conversation starter, and while the stone black background color scheme might make it a little difficult to read the time at first, especially if you're coming from a digital watch (which I was). <\/p>
The watch is also water resistant, I could happily go for swims wearing this, and the device specification talks about the watch being Water resistant for 100M, which usually means the change in pressure. It is, however, recommended that you do not take your watch along with you for a swim, as a tiny gasket inside it protects your watch from permanent water damage. Even though this is a sturdily built watch, even a small mistake with water can cause damage, so be aware.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1497005289340","data":"593a7d4e7b1d9"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1497005313924","data":"
It is not without its cons, however. The dial does a poor job in shining in the dark, and it only shines its brightest when you move from brightly lit outdoors to dark interiors. The more light it absorbs, the shinier it gets, and that is not always the case in the nights where light source might not be an option. A poor show for a watch as expensive as this. <\/p>
However, it is still a damn good product and a perfect gift for your friend or loved on. The scratch proof surface, like every other marketing term, is not actually scratch proof, but at first glance you never notice them. The scratches are basically only noticeable when you pay close attention to the watch. <\/p>
Final thoughts:<\/b> <\/p>
I love this watch, it has served me well all these years and I'm quite proud of buying it on my own with no help from my parents. I wear it as a symbol of what I can achieve, so it holds emotional value. However, despite that, I would still say if you want a Chronograph and can afford to spend a little more, Edifice has an impressive range of Chronographs and look absolutely amazing. However, if you don't want an excellent looking watch with a Chronograph and would settle with a sturdy and well built one, you could always go for this one. <\/p>

There are some important things which students should never try in their life. Those are <\/p>
Never try to give up on people<\/i><\/b> <\/p>
When you stopped talking to your friend because of a misunderstanding remember that day because he was there through your tough times. <\/p>
Never try smoking for any reason<\/i><\/b><\/p>
<\/i><\/b>Always take out the point that smoking will ease out your pain. It will not. It will, in future, increase that. Never try smoking for any reason. Remember that. <\/p>
Never try to body shame anyone<\/i><\/b> <\/p>
When you call someone fat, He might not eat anything the next day. Words can affect him. We never know.\nNever try to doubt yourself\nRemember when you gave up on something because you thought you weren't good enough. You might be better than others. Who knows? <\/p>
Never try to be judgmental <\/i><\/b><\/p>
When you thought that a girl got her way through something because she was \u2018GOOD\u2019. Well! She might have worked harder than you did. Always have that kind of mind-set rather than being judgmental. <\/p>
Never justify your failure by reasons<\/i><\/b> <\/p>
Remember when you thought you failed your exams because it was too cold. \u201cHow can someone study during winter?\u201d \nNever have trust issues\n When you eat a whole cake which you were supposed to share. Now you see, never do this. This is the reason why people have trust issues. <\/p>
For guys especially, never try to depersonalize women. Calling some random classmate as your 'bae', cat-calling her often damages her self-esteem.<\/p>
Never participate in celebrity cold wars.<\/i><\/b> <\/p>
If they do it, always end up frustrated and makes them think worst. Instead sit back and enjoy the show. <\/p>
Students should always think Life as an experiment. <\/b>Know the beauty of that. Think everyone as scientists in this giant laboratory.\n Life is a list of the experiments we try, the discoveries we make, the failures we encounter along the way to greater successes and rewards. <\/p>
If you just listen, you never learn. If you just learn, you never do and the way to perform is to experiment and watch what sets your heart on fire. Then life becomes a bright flame, a beacon for all who come after you and for all those you love around you.\n\n<\/p>"}]

Do you remember going to school every morning, looking for that uniform that you've seen every day for the last couple years of your life? Do you remember being excited about the fact that college doesn't require you to wear a uniform? Well, that's not completely true. While college students aren't required to wear the same staple uniform everyday, clothing is still restricted by a dress code in a lot of them.<\/p>
For instance, a popular engineering college recommends the following:<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1497003028047","data":"593a746613c37"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496992543850","data":"
The purpose of uniforms in school was to promote equality, so that no matter where you came from- what your social, economic or cultural background was- you all looked the same. That makes sense since young minds are sensitive and can get insecure over appearances. On the other hand, the college dress code does nothing to promote this sort of equality. It seems to be more concerned with outdated concepts of 'modesty' and 'decency', and it all seems to be revolving around the fact that boys and girls have sex.<\/p>
For instance, a popular all-girls' engineering college sees the girls come into college every morning in glorious outfits in which every one seems to outdo the last. On the other hand, a fair number of other college have clearly defined rules that forbid jeans, hair left open, sleeveless shirt, shorts, coloured hair, etc. Those that don't have moral policing in place in which students who deviate from the norm are frowned upon and taken aside to lecture. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496994883237","data":"593a54932287d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496994480798","data":"
These rules defy logic and common sense in their desperate quest to cling on to what they see as culture and tradition. Logically, we live in a tropical country in which the summers can go as high as up to 110\u00b0F. It is ludicrous to expect students to come in formal shirts, shoes, chudidars and pants in those conditions. As for the question of culture and tradition... During the Indus Valley Civilisation period, as directly quoted from a History study guide website<\/a>, in which the articles are written by historians with advanced degrees, 'Men wore dhoti, a cloth wrapped around their waists and knotted at the back.

Six months after his visit, in January 2016, China\u2019s Ministry of Civil Affairs launched a new website to publish information about children living in shelters across the country. Baby Come Home ran the photo of Yesong that Wang provided against 13,000 images on the government site, and within seconds, PhotoMC came up with a list of 20 possible matches.

Worried about how your money is being spent? <\/i><\/b><\/p>
It is important to know where you are spending your money. This helps to develop better spending habits. <\/p>
Prepare a budget:-<\/i><\/b><\/p>
Estimate your monthly income and expenses. It is the better way to limit the extra spending\u2019s. <\/p>
Live like a college student:-<\/i><\/b><\/p>
Don't spend money when you don't have. Though it may feel hard, but living like a student will place someone in a better financial situation after graduating.<\/p>
Never abuse credit and debit:-<\/i><\/b><\/p>
Be responsible with credit cards. Only charge what you can truly afford to pay off each month and make sure it fits into your budget. If you are easily tempted to overuse, leave the credit card at home and take only the cash you can afford to spend. <\/p>
Nothing's Unmanageable:-<\/i><\/b><\/p>
Sometimes savings seem impossible, but try anyway, even if it is small amount per week. Put the money in a savings account that's not attached to your ATM card so it is not as easily accessible.<\/p>
Keeping it safe:-<\/i><\/b><\/p>
Be sure to keep receipts, student loan documents and other financial statements. You never know when you will need to refer to these documents. <\/p>
Are they really required? <\/i><\/b><\/p>
These types of questions do arise. One of the most important money saving tip is not to buy on a impulsive reaction. Wait for some days and see if you still need the item. <\/p>
Maintain score:-<\/i><\/b><\/p>
Make sure you pay your bills on time, every time. While this may seem obvious, paying on time is a big factor in having a good credit score. <\/p>
Be a miserly person.:-<\/i><\/b><\/p>
Many colleges offer lots of free or cheap activities on campus which will provide the opportunity to socialize without a lot of expense.<\/p>
Using your student status:- <\/i><\/b><\/p>
Lots of places will give you a discount simply for being a student. Look for places that offer savings when you show your student I.D.<\/p>
Extra cash:-<\/i><\/b><\/p>
As long as students are able to manage their studies, a part-time job (if required) is a great way to earn a little extra spending money. <\/p>
Consider the Used ones:- <\/i><\/b><\/p>
Look online or check with respective college bookstore for used textbooks which can save you some money. Selling your used books at the end of the semester could gain you some extra cash. Check online or with your bookstore for book returning details.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496934768967","data":"593969c12db2d"}]

All students will agree that the canteen is one of the most important places in college, perhaps more important that the academic building itself. Everyone has their own special relationship with their college's canteen, whether it be one of intense passionate love, loathing, or anything else in between. The CBIT college canteen has been around for ages and has been through many avatars in that period of time. Like everyone else, I have my own relationship and stories with the canteen.<\/p>
The most famous and sought-after food item there is easily the frankie- the glorious, versatile frankie. It's been my go-to food because of the way it's filling and mess-free. I remember the countless times I had to rush to basketball practice with me running across the campus, munching a frankie in my left hand and my phone in my right. It is also what I eat for a quick snack (Snack, ha!) after college while walking to the ground where the buses are. The frankie guy is nearly as big a fixture in college as the canteen itself. You go up to him and no matter how busy he is, he lets you customise your own frankie; \"Anna, onion takva veyyandi\", \"Mirchi veyyakandi\", \"Anna, paneer koncham ekva veyandi\", he does it all.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496918214810","data":"593929160aa70"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496918054612","data":"
However, on hot, sweaty days when the frankie will only make you hotter and sweatier, the fruit juice stall in the corner of the canteen is the star.

They make it right away and you can ask them to not filter the pulp out (if you're into that sort of kinky stuff). The delicious coolness combined with the fresh feeling of the fruit makes you want to sing out the chorus of the angels.<\/p>
The more serious items on the menu- the 'lunch items'- like the meals or the vegetable biryani admittedly aren't dishes I've eaten a lot, but they still hold lot of stories. When the hunger takes you, and where you need solid, honest-to-god rice, the meals which comes with curry, dal, curd and papad is like a breath of life. The vegetable biryani with raitha blew away my skepticism four bites in and seemed like a warm hug from home. I remember sitting on the stairs inside the canteen with a friend who insisted I eat only rice, since I was tired, and me reluctantly ordering the biryani. She was right.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496918349458","data":"5939299c2d08a"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496918258225","data":"
For those who need a really, really quick pick-me-up, there is a snack bar right beside the main counter that sells chips, candy bars and all sorts of drinks ranging from Maaza and Paper Boat to Coke and weird jeera drinks in packaging that looks suspiciously like beer bottles. This is the one I hit when I innocently accompany a friend to her lunch and get drawn in by all the junk food out on display. I actually asked a friend to grab me by the collar every time she saw me moving in that general direction. <\/p>
The canteen did give me a lot, and I'm not just talking about calories. <\/p>"}]
