Ugadi<\/i> is one of the important festivals that is celebrated with a lot of excitement in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The special attractions of this festival are the Ugadi pachhadi, puran poli. <\/i>All of us eagerly wait to celebrate the new year on 1st January, but how many of us are really excited about Ugadi<\/i>. So here is a list of students who are staying away from home, whom we talked to about their Ugadi <\/i>plans and what they miss about the festival. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490705700731","data":"1. <\/b>Yes<\/b> I am missing home, but spreading Ugadi feels. <\/b>\nNitin Kumar Reddy is an MBA first year student in Christ University, Bangalore.

It deals with themes of cartesian duality, shame, life and death, birth, reproduction, and a plethora others I could keep on naming, but time is of the essence. <\/p>The point I'm making is, while science students can bring us advancements into this technology, humanities will help us understand it better, the morality behind the technology, dealing with potential misuse and much more.

The fundamental flaw with that method of studying is thoroughly debunked by the professors stuMagz spoke to. Here's what they had to say. <\/p>1. Prepare a schedule ahead of time<\/b><\/p>Since most of the professors we spoke to were from engineering colleges, this advice was universal. When you're studying a course which requires student's practical application instead of just theoretical, it becomes prudent to prepare a schedule way ahead of time and stick to it without fail. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490693397293","data":"58da2d9c4c8a4"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490693472817","data":"2. Make it a point to study regularly <\/b><\/p>I'm sure we've all heard this advice from our parents, almost every day in some people's cases, and often by professors as well. Guess it, it really works. Studying regularly ensures you don't panic study at the end of the semester and right before the exams. A professor likened it to body building, or learning a new skill. No amount of hard work on the night before will get your body into shape, it is literally impossible. Similarly, you cannot learn to play a guitar in one night, so, he questions, why would students think they'll get adept at the subject in one night. <\/p>It doesn't even have to be every night, the many professors echoed the same advice, even thrice a week, or twice a week would do, as long as you study properly. Of course, if you're a daily studying types person, then it's the best thing you could do for yourself as a student. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490693769755","data":"58da2ef93da53"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490693821474","data":"3.

I'm a huge fan of Ghost in the Shell, the 1995 Japanese movie that would go on to inspire iconic movies like The Matrix, and with Hollywood releasing it's own adaptation of the classic this year, the concept of humans interfacing computers is still fresh in the minds of the fans, that is until Elon Musk came along and announced NeuralLink, a company he registered mid last year. After months of fans asking him what his company was about, Musk finally went public with the information. You can read more about it by clicking here<\/a>,<\/a> or if you happen to have a Wall Street Journal subscription, read the story that broke the news to the internet directly from there. <\/p>Recently, on reddit, Elon Musk revealed that he got at least 6 hours of sleep every night without fail.

Recently, on reddit, Elon Musk revealed that he got at least 6 hours of sleep every night without fail. Now it might amaze many of us, how this man, between planning to colonise Mars, commercialising Space Travel and running an electric vehicle empire got the time to plan for the human brain interfacing with computers, but that's just who he is. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490702341302","data":"58da5153d3352"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490702614693","data":"
The name of the device neural lace is borrowed straight from Iain M Banks, a world renowned Science Fiction author, in his books where it allows the user to interface directly with the AI, and if the user of a neural lace died, they could be simply restored from the previous backup. <\/p>
While we are sure Elon Musk is not seeking immortality just yet, we might get close to it, hence the references to Ghost in the Shell. Now, you may be wondering what is in it for students? <\/p>
1. New Jobs! <\/b><\/p>
Elon Musk says the technology was a good 5 to 6 years away from implementation, but until then intense research and development will go into this futuristic technology. Which means new jobs, from software programming, to hardware where you can be the engineer behind the latest advancement in the tech. Of course it goes without saying that applying here will be open only to the best of the best, these are unknown waters, and only the brightest will get through and finish their research. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490703008544","data":"58da531c47d28"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490703072055","data":"

It is common to see a lot of engineering students building cars, ATVs, drones and more to take part in competitions and as a part of their projects but the reason why Chandra Mouli -from GITAM university- built an e-bike from scratch is something that is more fundamental in nature. He designed and fabricated every bit of it just because he wanted to build it, for the fun of building it. It was pure passion that drove him to toil over it and the result is this bike that can cover up to 80 kilometers in a single charge.<\/p>
\"I was always interested in building bikes and that is the reason I took up mechanical engineering. I wanted to build a bobber style bike when I was in my first year but because of financial constraints, I couldn't do it. A few months ago, after I got into my fourth year, I wanted to build it and decided on building an electric bike,\" shares Mouli.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490703551764","data":"58da55077eaab"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490703224505","data":"
A vintage bike in Chowmohalla Palace inspired him and he modelled the design of his bike along those lines. \"I really liked a vintage bike so I based the design of this on that and added elements of a bobber to it and that's how the look came up. There is still a lot of styling that has to be done on this,\" says Mouli whose bike has a top speed of 40KMPH, and is a hard-tail design (without a rear suspension).<\/p>
The bike was fabricated completely in his house, with him having acquired the necessary equipment from a friend of his and it took him about three weeks' worth of work to build it. \"I started building the bike sometime in October and finally in December, it was completed. You'll find all the equipment required to weld, cut, etc in my house; I took it from a senior of mine who used to work on similar things when he was in college,\" he explains, adding, \"It cost me about Rs. 20000 to build this bike.\" <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490703558919","data":"58da55109189c"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490703325243","data":"
And has he thought about taking it to design competitions and other such things? \"I didn't build it with competing in mind. I wanted to build it for the fun of building it and that's why I didn't take it anywhere much. I only took it to the design summit but whether or not I'll take it somewhere else is something I have to think about,\" comes the reply.<\/p>"}]

As much as we tend to avoid them, your professors in college are there after years of experience in teaching students, and rest assured, when they tell you they've seen every kind of student, they are usually serious about that. <\/p>
We all love the memes about exams, but a large majority of us still take it for granted, often opting to preparing the night before the exam and hoping for the best, because that one friend of yours who never studies but still gets good marks by studying the night before the exam. The fundamental flaw with that method of studying is thoroughly debunked by the professors stuMagz spoke to. Here's what they had to say. <\/p>
1. Prepare a schedule ahead of time<\/b><\/p>
Since most of the professors we spoke to were from engineering colleges, this advice was universal. When you're studying a course which requires student's practical application instead of just theoretical, it becomes prudent to prepare a schedule way ahead of time and stick to it without fail. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490693397293","data":"58da2d9c4c8a4"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490693472817","data":"
2. Make it a point to study regularly <\/b><\/p>
I'm sure we've all heard this advice from our parents, almost every day in some people's cases, and often by professors as well. Guess it, it really works. Studying regularly ensures you don't panic study at the end of the semester and right before the exams. A professor likened it to body building, or learning a new skill. No amount of hard work on the night before will get your body into shape, it is literally impossible. Similarly, you cannot learn to play a guitar in one night, so, he questions, why would students think they'll get adept at the subject in one night. <\/p>
It doesn't even have to be every night, the many professors echoed the same advice, even thrice a week, or twice a week would do, as long as you study properly. Of course, if you're a daily studying types person, then it's the best thing you could do for yourself as a student. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490693769755","data":"58da2ef93da53"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490693821474","data":"
3. Don't be afraid to ask your professors for help <\/b><\/p>
Your professors are more than willing to help you out in studying before the exam, only if you let them help you. It goes without saying that someone who doesn't want to be helped, will not be helped, and neither will help come seeking you when you need it. Call up your professors, or speak to them in the college, sit with them, discuss the subject, crunch numbers with them. They are there to help, and help they will. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490694354377","data":"58da3144ce81f"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490694413444","data":"
4. Listen to the class <\/b><\/p>
A professor from my alma mater lamented the fact that students tend to not listen to lectures and end up being completely clueless as the end of the semester approaches. Great professors tend to teach the class in a way you remember, which helps you immensely in understanding concepts much faster when you're studying. As a personal note, I'd like to add that this method works for me as well, I liked a class back in my college days so much I listened to every class carefully, which led me to prepare for the exam with ease. To date it remains one of the best exams I've written. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490694734933","data":"58da32af2695b"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490694771891","data":"
5. Stay till the bitter end <\/b><\/p>
Another point all the professors unanimously agreed to, stay till the end of the exam, no matter what. Fight till the last minute, write as much as you can. If you leave early, you're denying yourself the chance of writing more that could make all the difference in your marks. By making your stand and writing till the end, you give yourself more room for inspiration to strike and continue writing. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490694988593","data":"58da3393ad7b4"}]
Alcy Caluamba, or ALCY, as he's known, is a skilled choreographer, actor and all around amazing person. His journey has taken him a long way, from Mozambique in Africa, to the United States on an exchange program and now to India, studying Computer Science Engineering and in his final year. Alcy was also a runner up for Telangana Got Talent held a few months ago, and he impressed all with his dance moves. <\/p>
In a conversation with stuMagz recently, Alcy speaks at length about his experiences. \"I was in the United States when I was asked to make a dance video, and I did, with little to no experience. It was uploaded to YouTube and people loved it. It was then I realised that I could continue doing this\" he says. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490651924581","data":"58d98b67b5af1"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490651948583","data":"
Alcy started his performances in 2011, and has never looked back since then, however, when the conversation shifts to passion and hopes and dreams, Alcy says with passion and conviction, \"I want to act! I want to become an actor, dancing was something that came to me naturally, just like acting, but I know for a fact that acting is my passion. In fact, within the next 5 years, I hope to be an actor, don't have to be a big star, just a small actor, but I want to act.\"<\/p>
Talking about his journey to India, he laughs and says, \"It was nothing short of a miracle, to be honest. We have this exam back home in Mozambique, where you get to choose your course abroad if you score well. I wanted to take up filmmaking, but let's just say that I didn't really score well,\" he continues, \"My mother was then asked if I would be interested in CSE, and she just said yes, came to me and told me to pack my bags because I was going to India.\" <\/p>
Unsurprisingly, Indian food brings even the best food lovers to their knees, with the spice and the taste, Alcy was no different, \"It was hard to adapt at first, we don't really eat spicy food where I'm from. But it got better over time\" he smiles. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490652427317","data":"58d98d5d50a3b"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490652452584","data":"
We ask Alcy what his advice to students would be, and he responded without missing a beat, \"Whatever you are, you must follow your passions. Because, to be honest, if you are forced to do what people want you to do, you're never going to be happy doing it. So whatever you are, and wherever you are, follow your passions, and the rest will come,\" he concludes. <\/p>"}]

Every college has people who live for music, but there are students who go a step beyond and pick up a skill in the field, whether it is singing, playing an instrument, and even mastering sound mastering and mixing. However, very few colleges have a place for it's students to practice their music, even fewer have music clubs that actively encourage participation from students, both seniors and juniors. One such club is, the directly named MGIT Music Club. Founded in 2013, the club has been a hub for the students of the college to perform, practice and meet like minded people from their own college, and it has a band of it's own, called Symphony Squad.<\/p>
We catch up with the current President of the club, Farhan Qureshi, discussing about the club and the band, and the young student himself. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490648336553","data":"58d97d5af04e2"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490648355119","data":"
\"We have 47 people in the club as of now,\" says Farhan, \"out of them, 16 are part of the band Symphony Squad. We actually formed the band this year, 4 years after the inception of the music club in 2013.\"<\/p>
Farhan, a 4th year EEE student at MGIT, goes on to talk about the selection process involved in picking new members for the club, \"Earlier, we had a simple audition process, we'd conduct auditions and that would be the end of it. However, we changed it recently, now we have an audition event called 'Fresco', where we invited fresh new students and encourage them to participate. We are looking for various talents, rappers, beatboxers, vocalists, and once the audition process starts, the existing members of the band, along with the faculty in charge, shortlist candidates and et voila! They're part of the band\" <\/p>
\"The way it is conducted, we encourage a lot of people, who have the talent but say they are shy to be on stage, or with people in general. In fact just today, there was a girl who was quite shy but with a bit of encouragement she finally sang, and sing she did, wonderfully\" he says. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490648808481","data":"58d97f32cbc6e"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490648835080","data":"
\"I joined the year after the club was formed, in 2014, and became the head in 2016,\" Farhan says, \"as mentioned earlier, Symphony Squad, our band, was started this year, and now we're focusing our efforts into forming an acappella group. Still working on the name.\" <\/p>
The band and by extension, the music club has been invited to various events, from fests in JNTU to Rigolade 2017 at SNIST. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490714836186","data":"58da812456fe0"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1490649259214","data":"
We shift the conversation towards Farhan, and ask him on if he plans on continuing singing post graduation, to which he says, \"I have plans for higher studies for now, but I don't think I'll be ever away from my musical side. A person cannot obvious devote his entire life to only one thing, so I'll continuing singing. I don't see myself as a guy who works a regular 9-5 job, I'm someone who likes a lot of things and does a lot of things, and I hope that never changes.\"<\/p>
With the young students of today making a mark for themselves in various ways, not just in studies, the example is set for the students of the next generation, who will look up to the people who didn't just go to college for the classes, but to connect and collaborate with like minded people. That, after all, is the best education you can get from a college, the people. <\/p>
Do you have talented students in your college? Let us know, or better yet, write about them yourself! Signing up with us is easy, and in the words of Farhan Qureshi, \"I believe talent is to be searched, then put to use. From a hobby to a practice.\"<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1490714879107","data":"58da8159ccd96"}]
