I wrote earlier saying why humanities and tech students<\/a> should understand each other, emphasising on the importance of imparting education in humanities for tech students. The AICTE has now mandated courses in humanities for engineering students.<\/p>As per a report in Hindustan Times, \"From the next academic session, engineering students, except those at IITs and NITs, will have to study humanities, social sciences including management, environmental sciences, Indian Constitution and 'essence of Indian traditional knowledge'.<\/p>These additions are part of the model curriculum the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the regulatory body for technical education in the country, has notified for undergraduate courses in engineering.<\/p>While this is a great move, I don't think it will do any good or rather, it will go the distance imparting humanities\/social sciences education among engineering students. And while this probably sounds very myopic on my part, this belief stems from my brief experience of attending an engineering college.

At least English as a subject was given some importance because it helps during recruitment drives (which again, was what the entire subject focussed on rather than learning the language).

For some reason, these subjects are perceived as not important for anything and that is where the perspective is wrong.

I've always loved self-depreciating humour. Not only does it serve as an excellent cover for one's insecurities, it also is a fantastic way of laughing at yourself and learning to take things in your stride, so that you may pick yourself up and try again. Like, if by some miracle I manage to do something great with my life and have to pen an autobiography, that is how I'd want mine to be, self-depreciating, humorous and more importantly, not a guidebook for some MBA student to read my life story and go, 'Ah yes, this makes perfect sense, this is exactly what I'll do', while completely ignoring the fact that the only reason I would hypothetically highlight something and make fun of it is to say 'Don't do this, you dolts!' <\/p>
Now that we've gone off on this tangent, the reason we're here is that Eric Newby has inspired me. It isn't every day that you come across a book you like so much that you decide to learn how to write like how the author writes, yet as you flip through the pages of A Short Walk In The Hindu Kush, you cannot help but laugh at how the story is told. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1512365573052","data":"5a2512b1eaa98"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1512365575070","data":"
A Short Walk In The Hindu Kush is considered one of the best books about mountaineering ever written. The twist in the story is that Newby was a newbie when he wrote this book. He had never climbed a mountain before in his life, picked a completely random mountain in Afghanistan to climb and then went on to write a hilarious account of his journey that soon became legend. I only discovered this book due to my recent obsession with mountains, looking up accounts of mountain ascents to read. <\/p>
Published in 1956, the book baffled critics and seasoned mountaineers alike because of how hilarious it was and went on to baffle younger mountaineers a generation and generations later because it wasn't easy to comprehend that a man with no experience of climbing wrote such a hilariously accurate account of what goes down when you're looking up at the peak. But I think I have an answer to this and I'm quite sure that there are plenty of others who arrive at similar conclusions once they finish reading the book. <\/p>
It's because Newby is, to put it mildly, extremely relatable. Climbing a mountain is something a vast majority of us will never do in our entire lives but along comes a guy from England, all posh and stuff, saying he will conquer an obscure peak in Afghanistan for no reason except for the fact that it hadn't been done yet. He observes the climbing process like how a normal person would and hilarity ensues. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1512378935003","data":"5a2512d3005ce"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1512365748370","data":"
A Short Walk In The Hindu Kush is one part buddy comedy, with Newby and his Diplomat friend Hugh Carless - who, despite his name, was a very meticulous person - attempting to take on the Mir Samir, the then unconquered peak in the ranges of the Hindu Kush. It is one part thriller, with Newby and Carless's thrills to get to the mountain in the first place but at the end of the day, it is an all-around adventure novel that will leave you roaring for more. <\/p>
As for whether the pair made their climb or not, I'd much rather you read it and found out, trust me when I say this, it is definitely one of the best books you'll ever read. Click here to buy! <\/a><\/p>"}]

The Great Entrepreneurship Stories a.k.a the Real GES as the organizers like to call it, happened on the last day of November at the Mustang Lounge Bar starting 7:30 PM. It was a meetup where like-minded people could come up and share their stories, rather experiences that they went through to evolve as an entrepreneur.\nGreeted with a wide smile as I walk through the stairs, my registration was verified, and I walked in to meet a rather wide spectrum of audience. It was my first event in this genre and I didn\u2019t really know what to expect from the event. To my content, I found people from all walks of life covering a very wide spectrum. The event started off with the MakeSense networking session by Anna Moran, which is a great initiative working towards many goals and is trying to make their presence be felt in Hyderabad. Anna Moran talked a little about the MakeSense campaigns that they are conducting and invited us to be a part of the noble venture if it interests us.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1512141605262","data":"

Well, that\u2019s exactly how he started and that drew our attention as we all were awestruck by how a Doodh Wala came up to talk about his entrepreneurship story on the dais! He talked about a small incident which was an interaction with whom he taught was his customer. He talked about how you realize an entirely new perspective when you are on the receiving end of life, he explained how he evolved as a more considerate person and is more forgiving after being an entrepreneur and handling the customer grievances himself.

Neha, who recently fulfilled her dream of staying un-married till 30 and recently found her partner in a young, broad-minded man who chose to break the gender stereotype and agreed to relocate to Hyderabad to make her dreams realized. Neha talks about the struggles of a Woman entrepreneur as she evolves herself into an entrepreneur which causes more hindrance to her personal life than it should. She now engages with several young aspiring woman entrepreneurs and tries to encourage and guide them in their walk so that they don\u2019t have to face the difficulties that she did. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1512141730501","data":"5a21742a25425"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1512141747085","data":"
Coming to Raj N Janagam, he was one of the most cheerful people in the entire crowd and had something to share that people would bother listening. Raj N Janagam tried to solve the issue that he had faced as a student while traveling from the station to his college during his early days In Mumbai. He solved this issue by starting his own service where the need was and put up several cycles at the Station and at his college that the student could make use of to reduce the commute struggle. However, as the service grew, and the Government realized the potential of such service, they wanted a share of it and had to intervene. Understanding that it was the right way to go, Raj went ahead with the formalities and won the bid for the contract only to encounter yet another hurdle. He was being drawn into something that he hated the most, corruption! Back during the days of Anna Hazare\u2019s fight against corruption, Raj was demanded a sum of 35Lakh rupees, all in black only to get the permission to continue with his Social Entrepreneurship. Understanding that he\u2019s too young and na\u00efve to get involved in corruption just yet, he chose to pass the chance and the rest is history! <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1512141761956","data":"5a21745c815e1"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1512141797604","data":"
Midway through the session Santosh Mohan Veeranki, the Founder of Tale Tellers Troupe India, the organizers of this event came by. He was a cheerful person and decided to break the ice by starting off the event in his way with a \u201cStarting Game\u201d wherein you look right into the eyes of the person right in front of you and totally get involved, understand their beauty, realize the need and interact with each other. Post this interaction he continued to tell a little about the reason behind the TTTI and how it started. The team of TTTI has one goal, to reduce the stage fear among people and give them a chance to talk about something that they know, something that they wish to share with the world, some memories that they can rejoice at a later point.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1512141824853","data":"5a21748582a23"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1512141840072","data":"

By the end of the event, one thing I was sure about was the worth of it and was glad I could make it to the event. Not only were the stories of each speaker motivational, but it also made me understand that failure is an essential part of each successful entrepreneur. The event also helped boost my confidence and I feel more sanguine approaching unknown people which is a big bonus! <\/p>"}]

As their schooling was about to complete and they don't have any idea where their graduation is going to take place.As jenny was very much worried about this,he \n\nused to say that,'we owe a lot to each other,so we will be back together soon'.These lines gave her a hope. <\/p>
Jenny used to feel very comfortable with him.His caring,pampering made her to have a strong belief on him.Innocent jenny used to pray a lot to be placed in the \n\nsame college as his.Luckily or Unluckily,She found him in the same college of her graduation. At that moment,Her happiness hit the sky. <\/p>
As days passed,they became closer to each other than before.The unnoticed feeling at her schooling was noticed now.They both were happy being in a relationship.His \n\nattention towards her and his advice to her in every matter impressed her.He used to present her gifts which she was awaiting to buy .She believed that choosing him is the right decision \n\nin her life though all other decisions might go wrong. <\/p>
He used to prove his love towards her in every situation.He used to allow her to live herself,except in some cases if she is wrong.He first make her laugh when she \n\ncries and later used to find out the reason behind her tears.For example,If in any matter her parents shout at her she calls him and shows all her anger in the form of tears which he never likes and make her understand the inner voice of her parents. <\/p>
Jenny shares every single matter with him and he listens to her with lot of patience.Though he doesn't share everything with her but the most important things in his life were shared with her first and then to others.This importance given by him to Jenny made her like him from the depth of the heart.<\/p>
