Priyanka Gajanan<\/b> who started to learn music before alphabets, has sacrificed her all childish aspirations for music, starting something new in life is hard and it is more difficult to adjust our daily routine with it getting familiar with all notes she faced many difficulties.<\/p>
\"I was forced onto classical Carnatic music<\/b> when I was young. I didn't know its value until today. now I don't regret my grandmother\u2019s suggestion or the way our music teacher taught us. they always said I had a good voice; some find it different from the rest of the people\". <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1563002138121","data":"
\"I started with music at very young like even before I joined classes I used to take pencils and pens in my hand pretend to wave them as if I'm composing music<\/b>\".\n As she was getting perfect with classical music she started experimenting with western music, as music is a versatile art which is not bounded by any language or religion. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1563002138122","data":"5d27725348814"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1563002138123","data":"

\"Sports is my shot of boost<\/b>\" says Suraj. <\/p>
Suraj Panjala, a Little Flower Degree College student who is currently pursuing his degree second year in BBA and is also very fanatical when it comes to sports. <\/p>
His passion for sports started as soon as his legs knew how to run!! \nHe plays various sports like Cricket, Basket ball, Badminton, Volleyball and is also a Professional Swimmer. <\/p>

Suraj is very active and energetic but unlike us he doesn't get his energy through food or a good rest, for him it's through sports!\n\nHis all time favorite sport is Cricket, Volleyball and Swimming!!\nHe participated and won many competitions.<\/p>
He says that he is grateful for the platform little flower degree college has given, this helps him to work with his team mates and learn the true meaning of sportsmen ship.\n\nBut that's not the end, Suraj had this to say and I quote \"I won't stop until I win a national level competition\" we admire his determination. <\/p>
The spark inside him only continues to grow and his undying love for sports, can be visible by the enthusiasm in his voice when ever he hears or speaks about sports. <\/p>

As our parents started joining Facebook and Instagram in droves, we started to look for another platform to join. Just then Snapchat came into the market which is very fun to use and there\u2019s a lot to discover on it. The moments in our lives are temporary and that\u2019s exactly how Snapchat is designed for. It had become a part of our lives. Our day starts with a good morning snap and ends with good night snap. So here are 10 things only Snapchat user will relate to.<\/p>
1. Snapchat streaks and emojis: <\/b><\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1562740828269","data":"5d246b3e56c3f"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1562740828270","data":"

If you are addicted to the snap filters, then trust me you\u2019ll hardly click pictures with a normal camera and most of the time you will be trying all random filters like dog filter, gender swap filter, baby face filter which are mostly being used. <\/p>
5. Disappearing photos and messages:<\/b><\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1562740828277","data":"5d2473b5219a0"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1562740828278","data":"
One of the reasons why most of us are attracted to Snapchat is for its\u2019 disappearing photos and message functionality because you can share all your secrets and hilarious pics with your friends just for a few seconds. <\/p>

Have you ever tried changing your snapchat username? Yeah, you can\u2019t change your user name. People with decent username might have no issue with this but the others who have bizarre usernames like \u2018Babygirl_123\u2019, \u2018thewonderman\u2019, etc. You are pretty much stuck with those usernames and we can understand the embarrassment you go through because of that.<\/p>

Most of us don\u2019t know what this snap score is. Snap score is nothing but the number of snaps that you have sent and received. The score on the left is the number of snaps sent and the other on right is the number of snaps received. <\/p>
8. Timer option:<\/b><\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1562740828283","data":"5d2472aca81d2"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1562740828284","data":"

\"My father, always encouraged me to play Kabaddi\" recalls Murali Krishna of 4th year Mechanical department, in conversation with us on the benches near the sports room. It's sports time for our senior, and so many other sports enthusiasts at CMRCET. Murali Krishna is quite a familiar name among those students who spend their time on the ground and for those who cheer for those on the ground.<\/p>
Murali Krishna, a sports prodigy of CMRCET, started playing Kabaddi at 15. He played a district level tournament at 15, but had to put a pause for a period of two years. He set his foot back in the court in the college, he represented CMRCET in many inter college competitions and represented JNTU for two inter university matches. His team has won 6 inter college matches and runners up for 5 other matches, for CMRCET. He represented JNTU twice, Satyam University in 2018 and SRM University in 2019. He was selected for VIVO Pro Kabaddi season 7.<\/p>
While camping in Mumbai he had a leg injury, and has to get a surgery done next week, he says he will grab the very next opportunity, which will come his way. <\/p>
When asked why he started playing the game, he says it was his father's passion for the game which led him to choose the game. \"He(his father) always supported me and encouraged me to play the game\" he says. He shares that he wanted to join the Indian Army right after his intermediate, but chose to have a degree in hand before he joined the army upon the suggestion of one of his relatives. When asked why engineering? he says he believes engineering colleges has a little more fun element than degree colleges.<\/p>
He spends his free time watching movies, playing cricket or hits the gym. He confesses that he is big time foodie.<\/p>
He expresses his gratitude towards the college and says \" Narayana sir (principal), Ravi Kumar sir ( HOD of mechanical department), Rafeeq sir (Physical director) have been quite supportive always.\"<\/p>
\"Thank you CMR\" he says signing out.<\/p>
We wish our dearest senior all the best for his endeavors.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1562761956902","data":"5d25fdc91a185"}]
Having a career is very important in life as it gives a sense of direction in our life. But here comes the question: Do you view your career as a journey or a destination? <\/b><\/p>
\"Visualizing career as a journey worth a lot and could be even related to that of life journey... Many times things don't go along our expectations but there would be the scope of still dreaming high and never giving up! Then finally, our efforts will sort whole things out and in the end, everything would be great\", tells Dr. R. Archana Reddy (Dean Academics - SR Engineering College) <\/b>who started her career initially as a teacher by chance, later on, realized that teaching is an art and felt as if it was gifted to her. After a couple of years, at a very young age, she took up the administration, then worked as a HOD next was promoted as principal of Sumathi Reddy College, later worked a Dean student welfare (SREC), and at present is holding the position as Dean Academics. Isn't it inspirational!<\/p>
After knowing this, I got the true justification for the statement - Career as a journey <\/b>that is going thoughtfully from one role to another or one organization to another fills your expectations of progressing through your career, or life<\/b>. \"Setting your sites on a collection of experiences that you wish to have is the measurable way of managing your career.\" <\/p>
We students of SREC have a special bond with Archana Mam. The way she interacts with the students and the way she manages all the things is really appreciable. Believe it or not, apart from her position, she even continues teaching... For us, M1 classes in the first sem were that interesting only because it was taught by Archana mam. <\/p>
Here is a small interview with Dean Academics of SREC - truly inspiring!<\/b><\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1562760588916","data":"
Q: Mam, can you share information about your qualifications and how did you reach this position?<\/b><\/p>
I am basically from Hyderabad. I have done my schooling from St. Anns High School, Secunderabad. I have even completed my Intermediate from Wesley Junior College for girls, Secunderabad. Later I have done my degree from SRR Govt. degree college, Karimnagar and pursued my post graduation from Kakatiya University. My interest in Mathematics led me to do a Ph.D. in that subject from JNTUH.<\/p>
And when comes to my career part, I worked in the teaching field for a few years and later I took up administration in Christu Jyothi Engineering College for 9 long years and now I am associated with SR from last 12 years. Initial days in SREC were really special to me. I was into teaching for about 2-3 years then I was promoted as HOD. Then after, I was transferred to Sumathi Reddy College (SRITW) as a principal. Later when I came back, I took up academics and sustained as associative dean for 2 years. Then, lead the role of Dean Student affairs for 3 years and now rendering as Dean Academics - SREC.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1562760588917","data":"
Q: Mam, which part of your career you liked the most... like you felt it amazing?<\/b><\/p>
Well, I was as a Dean of Student Affairs<\/b> for about 3 years. And that was the best part of my career. It was a combination of both work+enjoyment<\/b>. (gesture laughing) It was just spending the whole time with young energetic boys and beautiful girls like you. The main job was again placements that kept always on my toes very active. It was the job where you need to be in touch with students 24\/7 hours. So, my whats app used to be active about 12:00 - 1:00 clock in the night. Because students have a lot of queries and any small issues were like a big thing for them. So, I used to always be in reach.<\/p>
Placements - I enjoyed that because every placement drive was like me going for a job interview! <\/b>And for the moment, the student goes into the interview panel and comes out, we used to keep waiting like what happens? So, it was even stressful but after every selection, we used to celebrate. So, that was really an amazing part of my career. <\/p>
Q: Challenges are part of every career... So, Mam what is the biggest challenge you faced till now?<\/b><\/p>
The biggest challenge in career is being faced by me right now because I am into academics and it is a very serious job. Unlike placements is like you know, you get success some times when companies are going good and all that but I could say that, academics is a serious business and even one small mistake from our side can cost you a lot. So, that is one thing.<\/p>
Second thing is, like working with the students is much easier. Now, I had to work with professors, HOD's and carry on all the discussions and meetings regarding scheduling academics. Challenges which we are facing right now is that engineering education is taking a new paradigm shift! 10 years ago teaching was a totally different scenario and today's teaching is different. So, when we try to change faculty from conservative teaching to more of outcome-based education... There are a lot of challenges... But we are positive and slowly changes are happening and in the coming few years we have much more to do.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1562760588918","data":"
Q: Mam, what is your vision i.e, where do you want to see the college in the next coming years?<\/b><\/p>
Our vision is to see SR engineering college rank among top 20 engineering colleges and to see it as a deemed university by 2020. So, I think we are going close. If not one and half year but a few months here and there hopefully. This is our all-time goal and hope we are going to achieve it very soon.<\/p>
Q: What is your opinion on the students of SREC and what would you suggest them?<\/b><\/p>
SREC students are really active and taking part in different competitions like hackathons. Through support from SRIX, our student innovators are able to explore a lot and their innovations are getting a huge response like the recent one i.e, Team Sagely- gadget built by our students to monitor the use of water was selected for the Start-Up India-Telangana Yatra and even received appreciation from K.T.Rama Rao. So, as you are studying engineering, your prior motive must be to do something innovative that would be helpful for society. Thus, I would suggest students take active participation in different technical and innovation competitions and make SR name ringing all over.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1562760588920","data":"5d26052518306"}]

On being asked about the film, she says, \u201cThe word 'Madha' means 'insanity personified' in Sanskrit. Because it is a psychological thriller with every character having many shades, we named it Madha. We also focused a lot on the colouring of the film to represent the different shades of the characters.\"<\/p>
The film originally started off as a short film, as Srividya shares, \"I wrote the story seven years ago when I was working as a wedding cinematographer and I thought of making a short film. In 2016, when I was working on a documentary on junior artistes, I met Abhiraj Nair who was working on that project and he came onboard as the cinematographer for my film. After several discussions and brainstorming, we decided it would be better if the film is longer as the story can't be told in a short-film-duration,\" shares Srividya.<\/p>
The team, called Third Eye Productions, completed the first schedule of the film in June 2017 and released the first teaser of the film. After receiving immense response to the teaser, they took another decision to make it a full length feature for theatrical releases as opposed to putting it only on streaming services.<\/p>
But, it wasn't smooth as the budget they had only lasted for the first schedule and they came across many unexpected expenses, as she shares \"We ran out of our initial budget in just six days! In the later months, we shot whenever we could arrange money and overall, the film was shot over 17 days. My mother supported me extensively, having sold all her property to fund this film,\" she shares. <\/p>
Another big challenge was to convince artists like Anish Kuruvilla to work on this film and to get high-quality technical support in their budget. \u201cSomehow people believed in our concept and agreed to work on it after basic payments and said I could pay them the full amounts later when this film releases. It was only people\u2019s belief that made it work. In some cases, people charged me only a tenth of what they usually charge. Though we (the crew) are all debutants, we ensured the post-production work is being done entirely by experienced people,\u201d says the director who had earlier anchored a show called Cute Companions, adding, \"We are now waiting for some other things to fall in place to release the film.\"<\/p>

The film has been screened at several film festivals in India and abroad and also has been the recipient of several awards at the same, including the Best Debutante Director award for Srividya. With a journey like that, she definitely is an inspiration to many young aspiring film-makers and as to her message to students, she says, \"If you are passionate about films and are not sure of how you want to go ahead, just use your phone and start shooting. Use your friends as actors and crew, learn cinematography, directing, lighting and more online, just do it. It took me 10 years to make my debut but today's generation has it easier considering every phone has 4K recording. Learn, experiment and improvise!\"<\/p>"}]
