Sciences and humanities create one of the most woefully wedded couples that are out there. Ask any Biology or Engineering student about history and there will be an invisible repulsion radiating from them. Yet, it is incredibly relevant to the entire science and technology field to understand society and history from your point of view, and to see the entire world. For, that more than anything shapes the way the world will move around you, and the way you will perform your jobs and do your research, this will create the way the world functions now, and help in you doing your work. A truth rarely acknowledged, and far less studied. <\/p>I remember when \u201cHumanities and Social Sciences\u201d was introduced this semester, which was a surprise to say the least, I was mostly angry and felt alienated by the subject. We were working on cutting edge molecular genetic tools in the world, and bringing real change through research, what value did customs and history hold for us. I mean, I would get a class on Bioethics and Laws, but, Humanities as a whole? It seemed like a sort of thing that you create just top fill in space. Who in their right mind would try to study humanities, when the alternative remains physiological disorders coupled with some very important facts? This changed of course, this changed when I started prodding the subject. First, slowly, coupling it with studies of immunology, and then fast, in terms of everything. It was engrossing, life sciences ran like a vein through the social sciences and created an imagery that was vastly different from everything we were studying. The problem remains that science is an isolated space mostly, like bacterium sealed and stuck on the end of a petridish, in comparison humanities reaches out, fills spaces and voids in life itself and creates far more scopes. Therein, lies the point of intersection. As scientists, as engineers, our claim to humanities is not that of an isolated nature, we form veins of the studies they are doing, we were, and still are functionaries of the thoughts they study. Heck, Foucault in his first lecture, \u201cThe Order of Discourse\u201d discusses the objectivity of truth from the standpoint of Gregor Mendel and his experiment. This is important to see, important to study as a whole and understand, we are not islands of forlorn instruments that do research, we're visionaries of the entire functional world, as are the students of any other subject. The division exists in pen and paper, but, as a whole, the student life, what we write, what we study is continuous, it flows and creates veins and capillaries everywhere, the modern engineer is linked with the Assembly Line at Ford, Typhoid Mary and the dynamic between families remains an intriguing case in our studies. Humanities are needed, because we as students need to view our work in the scope of the real world. What microbial research does is as important as the research itself. What we learn today can create a vision for tomorrow, and tomorrow, it might become History and philosophy. Hence, life flows, and we create a river of studies. Partake, my friends, do not hesitate just because you've been raised with different stakes. "}]
21 year old Prudhvi Tammana is a fourth year engineering student from KL University, Guntur but what sets him apart from the most of his peers is the fact that this lad started two companies so far and is on his way towards starting this third venture.<\/p>
His first startup - Hunger Bee - is a food delivery startup, that he started along with his friends, Krishna Kiriti and Sai Ram Vishwesh. Incorporating GPS tracking system for food delivery, he started one of the first such services in Vijayawada. \"We are now trying to expand to Hyderabad and change our business model extensively,\" says Prudhvi.<\/span><\/p>After this, having come from an economically weaker family from Machilipatnam and having known the pain of not having access to various courses, he founded an e-learning company called Edisight, along with his friends Vamshidhar Reddy, Sameer Nandan and Bhaskar Pinna. Offering various technical and non-technical courses and nano-degrees, Edisight is soon going to be released. \"We raised angel funding of Rs. 50 Lakhs from Jawahar Shukra Group which works out of Vijayawada city,\" shares Prudhvi and added that they are also planning on adding various functionalities for students on Edisight.<\/p>In addition to these two, he's now working on his new venture, The Wissenarie Fest. \"I realised though most colleges have an entrepreneurship cell, most of them are just for name-sake and that is the reason I started this.

It was the night of 31 st December and all the residents of their new apartment had planned a new year bash. So, \u2018No cooking in the evening!\u2019 she thought to herself. It was after many years that she had got a break from the kitchen. It was almost 25 years of marriage and all these years passed in balancing work at office and her domestic chores. She was totally free that evening because her entire family was invited to participate in the celebrations. She was waiting for her husband and children. Her two sons were studying in engineering college. She was alone at home, thinking about her parental home in Bengaluru. Her childhood, her school days, her passion for singing. \u201cSeema, your talent has no boundaries,\u201d her teachers used to say. How she had longed to become a singer. Forced by the circumstances she had buried her dreams. Pressure from her orthodox family, and her marriageable age had forced her to kill her dreams and remain silent. And after getting married she was so preoccupied with her domestic responsibilities that she forgot she could ever sing. Just then the doorbell rang and her reminiscence was disturbed.<\/span><\/p>All the residents of that apartment had gathered to welcome 2017. The cellar was aptly decorated with balloons and festoons. It was only a week that her family had moved to this new apartment. This was an opportunity for her family to get introduced to the other residents. Like every year, they were holding the contest \u2018The Perfect Family\u2019, where each member of the family was supposed to participate. At different levels the contest was held. The scores of her husband and children had put her family at the third position. The other families were leading with one or two points. Now it was her turn to contribute to the score. It was a singing competition for women. In the mechanical schedule of her life she had forgotten that she could sing. Fear, hesitation and apprehension gripped her. She trembled literally, she wished that she disappeared from there. <\/p>The other women finished their singing, she alone was left. If she scored nine points her family would be in the first position and win the title. Her children had lost hopes, \u201cmom ? singing?\u201d this was their expression. Her husband also had almost given up. \u201cHow would I face my neighbours if my wife doesn't sing well?\u201d he thought,\u201cIt would have been better if we had not participated\u201d. Her name was announced and her heart missed a beat. Facing about hundred people,\u201cimpossible\u201d, she thought. She closed her eyes for a few seconds and some unusual energy suffused from within. She started singing. Her eyes were still closed, when she finished the song, a thunderous applause was heard. She opened her eyes, everybody around her were clapping, she received a standing ovation. She looked at her husband and sons, they were happy but shocked the most. They did not know that the one who was the integral part of their family, had this hidden talent. <\/p>Her husband with tears of joy said. \"Seema, when did you learn?\u201d Her sons exclaimed, \"Mom, you? Great!\u201d The one who was completely mesmerized was an old music director, who wanted a new voice for his next movie. The texture of the voice that he was looking for was found. The next day, the music director approached them. The perfect family was excited but she was reluctant to accept the offer, Lack of confidence? Ground between her personal and office life she had forgotten her dream. Now it was a dream come true, but she was not convinced that she could sing in a movie. Forced by her family, she accepted the offer to sing two songs, both of the songs were super hits. Offers started pouring in. But she was not happy with her fame. She made a name for herself but in this course she learnt that she would have to sacrifice her personal life, her family time, if she continued singing. She rejected the offers, she seemed to be happy with her earlier life- the life of a frog in the well. <\/p>This is Seema, my aunt. And her story made me consternate about the position of women in Indian society. Despite the opportunity to fulfill her dreams, my aunt had preferred to give up for the sake of her family. It is as if compromise has gone deep into their skin and blood. Immediately my mind re-framed Shakespeare's famous quote,'Frailty, thy name is woman', as 'Sacrifice, thy name is woman.' Probably, it would take a few more decades to make this embodiment of sacrifice to come out of the nutshell and turn into a powerful missile.<\/p>"}]

Come with your friends, grab a bite, enjoy a special Carpediem discount and enjoy the evening.<\/p>"}]
In most countries, we don't have any educational system. We just have an examination system. Students are not taught to study or understand the concepts, but they are taught only one thing-'How to get maximum marks'. It is all about memory power. The one who can remember and recollect the exact wordings of the textbook gets the most marks. Thus, students starts to memorize things rather than understanding the concepts. I have seen some of my friends, who just memorize the answers of the questions which are more likely to come in the exam. The awkward part is when I see students memorize computer programs\n (I study computer engineering.).\n<\/p>
This memorizing process usually start 24hours before the exam and once the exam is finished, all that is studied is forgotten.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1487875330202","data":"58af2d4c8b221"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1487875350801","data":"

I believe that our educational system should evolve according to the time and should teach useful skills.

I read a story by Rabindranath Tagore -The Parrot's Training. <\/p>
The summary goes like: <\/p>
\n\nThere's a parrot, who sings but who can't recite the scriptures. Meaning to say, he's uneducated. The king is very concerned about the parrot's learning and does everything in his power to educate him. His training commences. Goldsmiths are paid a fortune to build a golden cage for him, pundits are paid to teach him, scribes are paid to produce copies after copies of textbooks for him to be taught. As the training goes on, almost everyone in the kingdom benefits from it in some way or the other. That is, everyone except the parrot. \nHe is fed leaves from the books until its throat is choked. His life is limited to the confines of the cage. Golden it may be, but a prison nonetheless. The parrot which used to sing songs can now barely whisper. Being true to his bird nature, he is desperate for freedom and keeps trying, feebly as he can, to get out of the cage. This doesn't go well with the authorities, who decide to clip his wings. He suffers, but the training goes on. In the end, the parrot dies. They announce that the parrot's education is complete. \n\n <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1487875640437","data":"58af2ea28017e"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1487875691715","data":"
There is something ironic about the lessons you learn in school, or in some cases, are made to learn by the threat of a cane. For you never fully understand them until another teacher teaches you again. Life. A teacher who, as opposed to the ones at school, tests you first and then gives you the lesson. But unlike the lessons you learn in school and forget the moment you give the exam, the lessons life teaches, they stay with you. <\/p>"}]
The English language plays an important role in our national curriculum. It forms the base for all formal interactions and has become an informal yardstick of quality schooling. English has become so default in a country of 22 official languages, that almost every corner of every street in our cities are lit with signs written in English, the banners, boards, advertisements and even our names on the back of a shirt, all English in text and understanding. <\/p>
So as a country of almost 2 billion, how well do we fare in teaching our future generations this inescapable language? To put it fairly and bluntly, not well enough. We still tackle English as a subject and not a language. It is still taught with formulas like mathematics and shortcuts like physics in schools with smaller infrastructure. This leads to a very boxed learning experience for non-native learners. These individuals take to English on a word by word transnational basis, making their opportunities limited in the real world. English cannot be taught in this way. To prevent this propagation, the one\u2019s teaching have to be advised of the ill effects first, before the system is changed for the learning student. Grammar is often answered by many using blind belief in rules and not by proper execution of sentence formation. I understand that these gimmicky rules could come in handy in some cases where the question is targeted at opposing common sense but at the same time, these rules will only help a student solve a question on paper, but never actually prepare him for an actual conversation. <\/p>
One very potent and proven way of learning a language is by hearing and listening to it regularly. This is very evident in the case of school children who grasp on to every nuance and slang of a language subconsciously. It inadvertently becomes a part of their rhetoric in terms of dialogue and communication. This is why keeping good company at the early stages of schooling can make or break the outlook towards education in general or language in particular. <\/p>
Languages are not all the same in terms of their structure or delivery. That is why for non-native speakers, drawing parallels with their mother tongue could be a double edged sword. It could help initially, making the learning experience easier by correlating similarities, but further along the path, the difficulties only pile up. What could be done is making English common place in the non-native speaker\u2019s life by constant interaction, communication and dialogue involving a regular two way conversation. This might be a bit difficult at the start but eventually, the learner picks up on the style of speech and the pauses involved in making of a good conversation. <\/p>
But verbal learning isn\u2019t really the whole picture when it comes to learning a language. The scripture forms a very vital part of the learning experience. To be able to read, understand and reply all within seconds of seeing a sentence takes practice and a good grip of a the grammar and vocabulary involved. For most rural or underprivileged students, books are the primary sources of learning. This brings me to my next point, of reading good books. This is not something that lies with the school system alone but largely depends on the individuals drive to learn a language. School texts with a good selection of themed short stories or poetry could ignite interest in students to take up reading as a hobby. Reading good novels, poetry or watching good film even, helps improve on the thesaurus and the various methods of conveying abstract emotions such as anger sorrow, joy etc.<\/p>
Only having an English medium school isn't enough to ensure a good teaching of the language. One has to factor in the atmosphere, the teacher's proficiency in the subject and also the reading material prescribed for the student. All these factor in when one is trying to learn English as a school student. <\/p>"}]

At a first glance, Sankalp Reddy seems like just another man next door but he's the man behind India's first war-at-sea movie - Ghazi. The movie has been receiving rave reviews and is a rage now owing to its visuals and Daggubati Rana's acting prowess. Shot entirely at indoor locations in Hyderabad, this movie is culmination of months of research and years of passion on Sankalp's part. <\/p>
Sankalp passed out of CVR college of Engineering and later went abroad to do his MBA but was attracted towards film-making and he did a Masters in film making from Griffith Film School, Australia. Having decided on making a movie on PNS Ghazi, he set about on the research for it and this fine movie is the end result. He's the perfect example of following one's passion and stuMagz caught up with him for a quick chat.<\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1487853099646","data":"9poXQSXN9eg"}]

Our understanding of art has shifted with times, our perception of what it is has changed, and a degree in Fine Arts has become a more scorned subject with time. It's a phenomenon I do not particularly understand. In societal context, paintings, and the like are considered to be feminine, and because we live in a patriarchal society, there seems to be a consensus that imagery, images, paintings, do not lie central to a method of studies. <\/p>
The problem is however, there has never been anything for central to studies than art and imagery. The imagery of words provides context to every societal study we undertake. Heck, even the point of an age can be made by viewing of art, of the statements made by artists. The demands made on conventional structure by the Surrealists comes to mind, as does the foreboding sense of imagery in the Logos of today. Fine arts doesn't often concern itself with brand management, but, as anyone in advertising will tell you, there is nothing more important. Check, the minimalism style used in Medium's logo, and the minimalist style preached by almost all media sites, including the J in Jacobin, a minimalist art form comes to mind. Why? Because the entire context of the brand has to be put into a simple image that the people associate with it. Similar work goes behind how to decode sequential art, comics. <\/p>
The distinguished art of Alex Ross, versus what kind of art J. G. Jones drew, versus what a virtual superstar like Mark Waid drew. These are important, they form the backbone of history. While, we read the slander of the spaces in Moulin Rouge, the particular label of fame it brings in, all exhausted and in ordeal offers a different picture, a context driven in counter-current.<\/p>
As does Picasso and Dali, the cubist and the surrealist, the differences, between the art forms immense, yet, personalities convergent. Fine arts, has always provided a context to historical and social studies, and even to science that we cannot have. The study of art forms and their development in different parts of the world is an indication of the philosophy and the evolution of myths, of what they're depicting. There may be thesis written on the subject of how this contextuality changes everything, gives you a new view of the world that is moving round the clock. And then there is the medium, and what it wishes to express. The brushstrokes differ from painter to painter, and we study the way it evolves, we give importance, and suddenly we are in a new world, a world, where realism fights with swords and shields against abstract-ness, and we reach conjectures of beauty. <\/p>
Fine arts define these, create a space for conversation, and then aid in re-telling of our entire story. Art, is not redundant, it is not lost, and though minimalism gets a bad rep, and performance art, and installation art is vilified, mostly the context in lost in simple conversations about what we consider as \u201celegance\u201d, the discourse shifts to beauty and realism again, and again we have passages after passages about contextual understanding. Ink calligraphy to the improvisation to create canvases on ink and then the spilling on oil and oil paint, and then the snowstorm. Politics, romance, everything depicted within confines of a canvas. <\/p>
By dismissing fine arts we dismiss the entirety of this contextual understanding, we dismiss out of hand the poetics that have been running parallel, and some times in opposition to our society, and this must not be allowed. Art needs survival, and no maybe, its not a developing job sector, but, there is work to be found, maybe in Advertisement agencies alone, but, then what illustrates modern art better than simple ads?<\/p>"}]
