\" DAD! I would like to pursue my bachelors in journalism and then explore, my passion in music!\" Fast forward to the year 2017, I got into Mahatma Gandhi Institute Of Technology<\/b> to do my undergrad in Mechatronics Engineering,bearing a ten digit roll number that was going to be my identity for the coming four years. Doesn't this story sound familiar? Yes! because, this is the story of most of us trying to figure out what our destiny is. But realizing that the journey is more beautiful is something I learnt from the past two years. Four semesters, countless record papers, bundles of assignments, everything just flied along with time. New semester and its new lessons, but the voice hiding somewhere behind my mind always reminds me that I'm not made for this and there's something more I've got to explore. Arts have always grabbed my attention, wherever I go. The SYMPHONY, BEAT CRUISERS, SPOTLIGHT, D.O.P, MUSE(Art club), PERSONA, require a mention for making my college life exciting and giving me those endless positive vibes. Like a coin has two sides, the B.Tech life gave me a taste of failure and also gave me strength in the form of friends, and family to overcome my fears . Be it four years or forty, I'm going to carry suitcases and suitcases of memories and lessons along with me. The feeling of being alive, the art of loving and accepting what is ahead of me will live and grow along with me. Thank you M.G.I.T for choosing me as your student and sculpting me into a better person from the previous day.<\/p>"}]
Dussehra is the festival, which marks the victory of truth over evil. It is the festival of hope. The festive spirit begins nine days in advance, as people get devotional and worship Maa Durga for nine days, and on the tenth day Dussehra is celebrated. Though, there are a lot of tales behind it celebrations, but all culminate to mark the victory of goodness over evil. People irrespective of their caste and creed celebrate this festival with utmost joy and pleasure across the country.\n\nBurn the Ravana inside you\n\nIt is a day of victory-when Lord Rama killed Ravana and a day when Maa Durga killed demon Mahisasura. To celebrate the occasion every year we burn statues of Ravana, but have you ever thought about the Ravana inside you? Today we have Smartphones, expensive accessories, luxurious cars, but we don\u2019t have peace of mind, and it is just because of the Ravana inside us that is of greed, jealousy, anger or corruption, which is present inside us.\n\nIn today\u2019s world morals of Lord Rama are being overlooked and unconsciously we are making Ravana, the protagonist of the story an idol of our life.\n\n\u00a0No matter how much effigy of Ravana we burn every year, but we will never be at peace until we eradicate him from us.\n\nIntrospection is important\n\nAs a human being each one of us have a deva and a demon inside us. And it is our choice whom we want inside us. We all know good things happens to good people and bad things to bad people, but then also for our profit we do wrong things. But this Dussehra do something different, kill the Ravana inside you \u2013 hold the vision of positivity and trust the process.\n\nIn the era of show off society,we have forget our near and dear ones. Most of do not stay with our parents, so this Dussehra make them feel special spend time with them, and with your family and friends.\n\nThis Dussehra take a pledge say no to Jealousy, greed, corruption, ego, and anger.\n\nSo wish you all a very Happy Dussehra. Enjoy it to your fullest and burn all your negativities.\n\n\n<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1570520962272},{"data":"

Dandiya Raas is the most popular dance of not only Gujarat but also all the states throughout India. It is a special feature of the Navratri festival. Dandiya is a dance form usually performed in a group,by both men and women. The special feature of the Dandiya dance is the colourful attire worn by the dancers and the colourful sticks carried by them. The wooden sticks are used as prop and are beautifully decorated. It is for the reason this dance is also called the STICK DANCE.<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1570525972324},{"id":1570526214924,"type":"img","data":"5d9c540692a8e"},{"data":"

It is a very simple dance and is performed by a group who move in circles to measure steps,marking time by sticks called Dandiya. Another identifiable feature of Dandiya is its dress code. The dress code for women and men are different. For women it is three piece ghaghra, colourful embroided cholis,bandhani dupattas dazzling with mirror work and heavy jewellery. Men in Dandiya dress up in matching colourful traditional dhotis and aangrakha or kurtas with loads of mirrors on the dress.<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1570526233620},{"id":1570526522562,"type":"img","data":"5d9c553a369d5"},{"data":"
It is the staging of the fight between maa Durga and Mahishasura through vigorous dance and steps. The sticks of the dance represent the Swords used by the two during their duel. The musical background instruments like dhol and percussions are symbolic of the metallic clangs of battlefields. The dance is very energetic and fast paced activity, which leaves no scope for lethargy. The site of hundreds of people swaying on the beats of folk music is awe-inspiring. <\/p>","type":"txt","id":1570526493616},{"id":1570526834428,"type":"img","data":"5d9c567218166"},{"data":"
The difference between Garba and Dandiya is that while Garba is played in the beginning and before the aarti,Dandiya comes after the aarti as part of enjoyment and the end. The steps to Garba are soothing and so are the songs while the Dandiya songs have a lot more beats and energy. Both go hand in hand and the Navratri puja is considered incomplete without one of the two. Both are ode's to maa Durga one in her tender,gentle,loving form as the mother of the universe and the other as a fierce warrior,the destructor of all evil. Garba signifies the birth of life where as Dandiya signifies the destruction of evil.<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1570526825465},{"id":1570527198662,"type":"img","data":"5d9c57de4dec0"}]
Talents have no bounds...! <\/b><\/p>
Here's the young woman entrepreneur <\/b>- Sana Khader, from Kozhikode, Kerala<\/b>, who made papercraft as her passion and is reviving the lost art of letter writing through her hobby of pen paling. <\/p>
Well-known in Instagram as \u2018Zannist<\/b>\u2019 (a combination of \u2018Zana\u2019 and \u2018artist\u2019), she writes a great deal of letters every week to remain connected with her pen pals from various countries. <\/p>
Sana Khader is learning about the world through her art passion. (56 pen pals, 32 countries)<\/p>
Apart from her busy schedule... she gave her time to share her views and her journey through a telephonic conversation.<\/b><\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1571161199682","data":"5d9b1a5512801"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1571161199683","data":"
Knowing the inner potential in which you seek happiness and render it to be your passion is again an unique achievement!!! <\/p>
What was like the trigger point or the defining moment for you to pick up this art form?<\/b><\/p>
Well, I better call it my turning point! It was during my 12th standard, that was the day I made an album for my best friend. He liked it the most and everyone in my class liked it. Everyone appreciated me and wanted a single piece of it. From then I was getting the orders... I used to make different craft things and used to enjoy a lot, that's how I got into this career option. <\/p>
What do you call this form of craft? Who supported you the most in this whole journey?<\/b><\/p>
All these things are like heaven for me from where I get the joy! I don't have a specific name but, I feel like I'm out of the world, whenever I am with the papers and craft works. I am too addicted that, if some ideas do pop up in my mind and if Iam unable to do it before I hit the bed, I cannot sleep. What I do is... scrap book crafts, home decor items, albums and much more creative things. My mom supported me well and she was always behind me boosting up in every circumstance throughout my journey.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1571161199684","data":"
Your profile talks about craft innovation! How thinking outside the box helps in making these creative and innovative crafts?<\/b><\/p>
I consider myself as someone who try to experiment different crafts. For suppose when I get a paper, I make it into a boat. If I get more time , I think of the ways to modify it by seeing it in different dimensions. And that's what works for me and even every artist do that. So, what I wanted to suggest from this is... You should not stick with one thought rather always try to think of still better ways to mould it. That's what helps you to think creative!!! <\/p>
When there came the talk about the entrepreneurship...<\/b> she shared her views...<\/p>
\"Necessity is the mother of invention<\/b>.\" I feel many are suppressing their talents due to their circumstances and the urge of their degree. So, there's a necessity<\/b> to lift other's up through our actions. And this could for sure happen by the power of an entrepreneur! <\/b>Even in my case: \u201cPeople thought I had gone nuts doing all this. This was no where close to what I had studied in college being CSE student. They saw me working day and night, travelling to the post office regularly, and thought it was a pastime. But I guess I proved them wrong<\/b>.\u201d And I wanted to see the same happening in case of others who are passionate to go along their interests.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1571161199685","data":"
A look at Zannist's Instagram page reveals interesting stuff ranging from greeting cards, colorful envelopes, customised albums, printed T-shirts, stickers, pins, tassel work, giveaway contests, and much more. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1571161199686","data":"5d9b1a2c38b4b"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1571161199687","data":"
Lots of more colorful feed in the page! <\/p>
So relatively... I asked...<\/p>
Your craft work posts in instagram in an other way spread happiness and positivity when we view!!! How do you feel about it? How social media is helping in your career?<\/b> <\/p>
Regarding the social media... works and customers are mainly from instagram and that's how I get potential customers and that's where people actually find my profile and place orders. \u201cI started by uploading images of my creations on Instagram. I stared with 300 followers, which has grown to a huge number of people around the globe.\u201d\n So... I can say, social media was the main part in my career which actually gave me encouragement of -\"Yes I can.. this is possible\" and gave a green signal to carry on with my passion. So I give priority to that! <\/p>
Next.. Spreading positivity... I get messages everyday saying... colorflite... \"Your feed is really nice...\" I feel really super happy!!! Even many who view them... even texted that they feel attracted to this art and even at times try out them and feel them as stress busters kinda things... These all makes me happy.<\/p>
So I think someone who is passionate to start a business can take the extreeme support of social media... instagram... They have to be very sure about their way of presenting the feed- bright and good quality pictures must be uploaded and be concsious with the captions. I give importance to all these.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1571161199688","data":"
We heard about the workshops that you conduct... How these workshops are helping in generating new zeal of this identical art?<\/b><\/p>
I have conducted more than 30 workshops on my own and I wanted to train people who are interested in these. As told earlier, the important part in building career is identifying inner potentials. So these workshops for sure aim in discovering the skills and giving wings to their talents. Even I aim to empower the women who are restricted and cannot express their creativity. So, through these initiatives i even want to support them and give them a space, opportunity to grow. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1571161199689","data":"5d9b19ac082a4"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1571161199690","data":"Ha-BrtvBUhs"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1571161199691","data":"
Valuable token... <\/b><\/p>
\nOnce actually.. I got an order but I got to do it within less span of time. It was a very difficult task - like 500 rows of paper work to be done. But I was curious as I want to taste even this flavour. I learnt the value of patience how it is important while experimenting the designs and recovering the faults. So I would suggest that.. whenever you get into new field, do lot of efforts. Don't take overnight decisions. Do alot of research on the path you are going to decide. When you get a thought in your mind - do it at that moment. Don't postpone the things. This is my policy. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1571161199692","data":"
\nIn the future, Sana Khader wants to start a collective, a community of artists that will exhibit the different talents of women, especially homemakers. Great intention right!!! Hope everything goes great :) <\/p>
Conclusion note:<\/b><\/p>
First I would thank Sana Khader Ma'am for sharing her journey and motivating to follow all along the interests.<\/p>
Grasp this funda:<\/b><\/p>
Everyone has a unique talent. This talent must be identified and then irrespective of odds... never give up your interests... Follow your heart and go on with your passions. If your struggle is true then ultimately you will rule with your passion. Outcome would be tonnes of happiness... and that satisfaction = incredible achievement<\/p>
Thank you :)<\/p>"}]

Wondering what does \"Carpe diem\" mean ? Carpe diem is a Latin phrase meaning \"seize the day\". This saying is used to encourage someone to make the most of the present rather than dwelling in the future. #lifeisfleeting. Carpe diem is a Latin aphorism , taken from book 1 of the Roman poet Horace's work Odes (23 BC). This term was first found in Odes book 1 : Dum loquimur , fugerit invida Ateas : carpe diem , Quam minimum credula postero which translates as : while we're talking envious time is fleeing :. Pluck the day , put no trust in future . Believing that living everyday as if it were my last brings a sense of quality and purpose to living . Why even live a life without meaning & purpose ? Carpe diem may be a philosophy for thousands of people around the world , but of course , it is easy for mang people , including me , to forget about the importance of making most of life . In life ,different occasions call for different actions , but there is always one thing that we can always count to lift ourself up : living life to the fullest . When we start focusing on what is truly important, we constantly start feeling the truth , meaning and joy coming forward from within ourselves.<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1570379782084},{"id":1570380926517,"type":"img","data":"5d9a1c7e8fe55"},{"data":"

India, the land of festivals. India could well be called the land of festivals. The amalgamation of different cultures, languages and religions ensures that there is a festival being celebrated in some part of India almost every week. Festivals in India are awaited all year long and are celebrated with great pomp and show. The entire atmosphere is filled with joy and enthusiasm during the festive season. People of India love their festivals and celebrate even the less significant ones with enthusiasm. \nNight provides rest and rejuvenation. During the night, you turn inwards through sleep, and you wake up feeling refreshed and rested in the morning. In the same way, Navratri or the \u2018nine nights\u2019 is that time of the year when you get the chance to experience deep rest. This deep rest brings freedom from all kinds of botherations, deep relaxation, and creativity. Navratri, as the name itself suggests that it is a festival which spans for nine nights(ten days). Our spirit has existed since time immemorial. It is the boundless and the eternal source of energy of this universe. During Navratri, even the subtle energies in the environment enhance and assist one\u2019s experience of reaching the spirit. The prayer, chanting, and meditation performed during Navratri connect us with our spirit. Getting in touch with the spirit invokes positive qualities within us and destroys laziness, pride, obsession, cravings, and aversions. When stress in the form of negative emotions is destroyed, we experience the deep rest of the transforming nine nights. The festival is associated to the prominent battle that took place between Durga and demon Mahishasura and celebrates the victory of Good over Evil. These nine days are solely dedicated to Goddess Durga and her nine Avatars. Each day is associated to an incarnation of the goddess. People celebrate these nine days by keeping fasts and dressing up in different colours of the auspicious days. During Navratri people prefer their folk art garba and dandiya. All the people nearby gather at one place to enjoy and play garba. Well it is said that if you want to experience the best Navratri which will stay for a lifetime.. Then rajasthan, Gujarat, and kolkata are the best places to look out for. Well I'm not a Hindu but as kolkata is my hometown so I know lot about the trends over there and I like to explore all different cultures and traditions. So I have experience some of the mesmerizing celebrations of durga Pooja over there. So There instead of saying 'Navratri' they say it as name 'Durga pujo'. In Sanskrit durga means 'the impenetrable'; she exists in a state of self-sufficiency and in ultimate power. This powerful form of Mother Goddess is highly revered in Kolkata which is why her return is celebrated with much grandeur and ceremonies\nIf you are in Kolkata during Durga Pooja, then you are at the right place on right time of the grand celebrations, you shouldn't miss out on. The preparations for the festival are as fascinating as the festival itself. A week prior to the festival, the city gears up and can be seen wearing a look of eagerness and excitement as it prepares itself to welcome the Goddess home. The gorgeously decorated pandals each emphasize a theme; be it the legends of Goddess Durga or scenes from Hindu epic texts. Nowadays, some pandals are themed on a social cause to spread awareness. Day time is usually better to see the pandals closely when the crowd is less however; the brightly lit pandals in hundreds of colors is quite a sight of its own in the evenings. Food is a major feature of the Kolkata Durga Puja festival and Kolkata is reputed to be a foodie's paradise. Sure enough, in a festival this grand you are bound to find the most delicious and incredible variety of Bengali cuisine. From snacks and sweet dishes that only Kolkata is famous for; to the Kolkata Durga Puja special themed Bhog meals that have a little of everything. All the pandals offer Bhog (offerings made to the Goddess Durga which is later distributed among the devotees) and community kitchens are also set up. So I would like to rest my views by saying that not only in kolkata, from jammu and kasmir to kanyakumari all over the India. Navratri is celebrated in a different and unique way. During these festivals we get to see different colours of india. It may be cultures, traditions, other rituals or religious practices, different states have different way of celebrating. As we say india has it own different colours, it is because of the festivals, culture, tradition. Navratri is celebrated in a different and unique way. So if we want to explore india, it's better to do it mostly on festivals seasons.<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1570344955192},{"id":1570345707155,"type":"img","data":"5d9992ec0aadb"},{"id":1570345355930,"type":"img","data":"5d99918cbeb5c"}]
Am I not a human being? Then why am I not allowed to live? Why am I caged, suffocated, and tortured? How could you let me be born if this is the way you wanted to treat me? Am I such a burden to you? \nI want to tell you about everything happening in my life, about my friends, about my boyfriend, what all happened in college, what random people said and did which made my day either good or bad, where all did I roam about, about my passions, interests, what I find good, what I find bad, my opinions, and everything else which I might tell my friends about. But the only way you react is by shouting and it makes my nerves break. I never want to lie to you but you've made yourself so unapproachable and scary that even though I know I am a bad liar, I lie to you, thinking it would save me from your horrendous tone. I am afraid to ask you for anything.\nIs this how things are supposed to be between a daughter and her father? If I have the right to vote then I think I am old enough to make at least a few decisions for myself; I have the right to at least a wee bit of freedom every human being deserves. \nAll I want from you is a little bit of cooperation and understanding. You have been living your life to the fullest now, let me live.<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1570346416077}]
