We all are well aware about pencil and its usage....but did we ever think about the lessons that pencil teaches us....?<\/p>
We buy it , sharp it ,use it ,again sharp it and then later .................finally throw it.<\/p>
A pencil describes a life ,a common life.Just like pencil ,life always shows its beauty in rough situations(paper).When pencil was made for the first time ,the pencil maker gave some crucial,pertinent,important instructions which can give us some vital instructions which can be applied in our life.<\/p>
The first lesson that a pencil teaches us is \"WHAT IS TRULY IMPORTANT ACTUALLY LIES WITHIN IT\". The pencil has two aspects. First the outside which is beautiful wooden case and inside lead which has much purpose.Similarly in our life as well , we have outside .The outside is about personality.The inside is about being genuine ,sincere person.The outside is about our charisma ,our style ,our presentation ,our way of speaking ,our confidence ,our mannerisms.The inside is about our character ,our morals ,our integrity , the principles we hold sacred in lives .The outside is about valuables .In the world today ,we are accepted for what we have than who we are .We are accepted for what we wear than who we are .We are accepted for what we drive than who we are.Valuables seem to be crucial overly emphasized in the modern society.The outside is about valuables and the inside is about values.Our personality can impress but being a genuine person can inspire.<\/p>
The second lesson that pencil teaches us is \"UNLESS YOU GO THROUGH SHARPENING ,WHAT IS WITHIN YOU DOESN'T COMES OUT\".The pencil should go through painful sharpening before the sharp nib comes out and makes an impact.Similarly in life ,unless the life goes through painful situations ,the best things within will never come out as they say \"NO PAIN NO GAIN\".<\/p>
The third lesson that pencil teaches us is\"UNLESS WHAT IS WITHIN YOU COMES OUT(the lead) ,YOU CANNOT MAKE AN IMPACT\".Its only when lead comes out of the case the pencil actually can make an impact by writing something on paper. Similarly in our lives as well ,unless what is within us comes out we will not be able to make an impact either in our own lives or those of others.<\/p>
The fourth lesson that pencil teaches us is \"WHEN YOU WRITE YOU WILL MOST CERTAINLY END UP MAKING MISTAKES\". What truly great is that right behind you is an eraser you can actually correct those mistakes and once again write the correct thing.Even in our lives as well, we make so many mistakes and what's amazing is God has given us the chance to erase them ,to correct them and to rewrite our stories.We all make mistakes.Yes, we make mistakes.We must erase them ,correct them and never repeat again.<\/p>
We will invariably make mistakes but, right behind you is an eraser.We can erase ,correct our mistakes and rewrite THE STORY OF LIFE.<\/p>

The biggest poison in me is regret. I feel that a lack of regret is the best way to a peaceful and happy life. Because if I m happy with everything, life just rolls out. I want to figure out my life in the maximum possible phases. So I will keep trying to unlock my best. I know it’s hard and I also know that I m actually lazy. I may talk of a good life but I know I m still full of shit. To do that,<\/p>\n
I want to live a life without regrets.<\/p>\n
I want to stop making excuses.<\/p>\n
I want to stop complaining on things I have no control.<\/p>\n
I want to stop saying “I wish… I wish…” and start executing my shit.<\/p>\n
I want to stop caring about others point of view on my actions.<\/p>\n
I want to make more people happy.<\/p>\n
Because I know I got only one life<\/u><\/p>\n","id":"1514645739704","type":"txt"}]
There's an odd sense of finality as December 31st rolls by, it's as if the very air you're breathing and the faces of people around you seem to suggest slowing down, relaxing and putting off the problem you were tackling for tomorrow, basically procrastinating, as one of our student writers, Shireen, so aptly puts it in her article which you can read by clicking here. <\/a><\/p>But while the article linked above is holding a mirror to people who make resolutions and break them, I think it is important for all of us to realise that it doesn't hurt to slow down once in a while and just examine the year that was and the year that will be. <\/p>It has been an incredible year for Team stuMagz, we went from planning to establishing ourselves in various colleges, all of whom have been absolutely invaluable additions to our growing family. We've been partnered with the most happening events in town, we've featured everyone from the local music scene to The Giant Killer of Badminton, Srikanth Kidambi himself. <\/p>And yet, there's even more to come. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1514704554416","data":"Of course, none of this would have been possible without you, dear reader, you who have supported us, shared our articles, attended the events we've spoken about and written about, been a part of the stuMagz journey through college events and our Avengers program and have, in general, spoke about us to their friends and family. While this year was hectic and a learning experience for us, it truly belongs to you, our readers, fans and friends, for whom we do this in the first place. <\/p>In 2018, we promise to strive even harder to bring to you the content you love, as well as a few new additions that I hope will become something of a staple for our student subscribers. The lessons we learned from 2017 were hard and difficult to digest, however, we did learn from these mistakes and for the coming year, we promise to give you only the best we have to offer. <\/p>And when it comes to me, I also promise to bring to you the best features, stories that you want to read, reviews of movies you want to watch, lists of books you want to read and even more. Stay tuned to our facebook page, as always. <\/p>So sit back, relax and let that old familiar feeling wash over you, the one that makes you want to set your burdens aside and just chill, you know, just relax and let everything take care of itself, that is, until you have to deal with it yourself. <\/p>Again, as always. <\/p>Happy New Year from Team stuMagz! <\/p>"}]

Lot of people think themselves to be bigger than they actually are. We keep saying repeatedly how do I get into Google? Or how can I have a meeting with that CEO? <\/p>
\nBefore you think of the steps it actually takes to actually get to the biggest places in the world, you need to visit small places and start having experience of little things. Before you have a meeting with Zuckerberg or Jeff bozos, you must have many little meetings with friends and family and all the relations. If you are a blogger and are blogging everyday even though you have only like 6 to 10 readers you will surely taste some awesome success. It\u2019s always depth versus width. We must look deeper than wider. Because you may be having 197 or 236 views for your video, but one of the viewers might be a CEO of a huge company you always wished to get in or the director of that film you wanted to work with. We need to have the humility and patience to continue even in adversity. Because it might just be one but actually its greater than zero\n<\/p>"}]
This is going to be short and brief because I want you to waste as little time as possible and start reading these books asap. <\/p>
1. The Foundation Series: <\/b><\/p>
Perhaps Asimov's greatest works, The Foundation Series laid the groundwork for brilliant pieces of Science-Fiction to be written in the coming years. Spanning 5 books with a setting that has since then become a science fiction staple, the adventures of Hari Seldon and his attempts to save humanity from 30000 years of barbarism are nothing short of amazing. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1514620012146","data":"5a474628afcc6"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1514620014028","data":"
2. I, Robot: <\/b> <\/p>
Immortalised by Will Smith's movie of the same name, I, Robot was one of the most significant works of science fiction, especially with the way Robots and Artificial Intelligence is portrayed in popular media. Isaac Asimov laid the foundation for many more robot stories to appear in the world with this fantastic book. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1514620340592","data":"5a4747246ee84"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1514620550218","data":"
3. The End of Eternity: <\/b> <\/p>
Let this be a lesson in understanding that messing with time will not end well for you. <\/p>
Asimov takes us on a timeless journey (hehe punny) where a man whose job is to literally time travel and alter the past or the present or the future to prevent time's cause and effect relationship from going haywire starts using his powers to ensure him and the woman he loves survive together. What happens after that is a lesson in not to mess with time. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1514620679718","data":"5a4747b5dec90"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1514620695732","data":"
4. The Gods Themselves: <\/b> <\/p>
I suspect Ubisoft got the inspiration to create Those Who Came Before, the proto-human advanced civilisation from Assassin's Creed, based on The Gods Themselves by Asimov. This one won multiple awards and is considered one of his best, dealing with the themes of excess and human greed. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1514621429734","data":"5a474aa2d9474"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1514621444853","data":"

On a planet of 6 suns, inhabited by creatures that fear the dark, an eclipse is imminent, one that would plunge the entire planet into darkness until the eclipse passed. How do they deal with it?<\/p>
Nightfall was originally a short story written by Asimov in 1941 but then expanded into a novel decades later, detailing the descent into chaos for the planet as the suns vanished and darkness reined supreme, and for the first time in the planet's history, they saw up and saw the stars. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1514621662845","data":"5a474b8c5a7ac"}]
Have you ever heard or seen somebody make a wish at 11:11 am or pm?\nSomeone closing their eyes, deep in prayer when the clock strikes 11:11?\nEver asked them why they do so? Well, the answer to this is that people have beliefs regarding the occurrence of this number and incidents occurring during this time happen to be related and is not just a coincidence. Many numerologists like to call it as \"meaningful coincidences\". This phenomenon is called as Synchronincity. This leads the general laymen to believe that the particular time is lucky or a wish-granting number, which does sound mythical but stands to be true to certain extent.\nPeople also believe that seeing the number 1111 around too often means you're on your path of awakening. It is considered to be a message from the universe or even that the heavenly angels are around you bestowing their blessings!\nInfact, the period from November 11th to January 11th is considered auspicious for soul awakening and reaching out to the fullest potential of your Divinity.\nThe best example of such an event is the number of marriages and childbirths on the date 11\/11\/11 (11 November, 2011) that took up a lot of media's attention and was a worldwide phenomena!\nSo keep your eyes open folks and look out for this emblematic number, because if any of this is true, it's definitely worth a try!<\/p>\n","id":"1514576804410","type":"txt"}]
I'm yet to watch a documentary that has moved me as much as I Am 20 has. <\/p>
This is a simple, 18 minute documentary film made in 1967 by a director named S.N.S Sastry, commissioned by the Films Division of India, a state run organisation responsible for making informational documentaries of India,, among others. Of all of their work, I Am 20 is undoubtedly the most iconic. <\/p>
The premise of the documentary is that Sastry seeks out young men and women born on August 15, 1947, our Independence Day from the yoke of the British Empire, and asks them questions about how India, a once proud country now broken and brought to its knees by the empire, is treating them, what they think about the country, their hopes and dreams, ambitions and inspirations. <\/p>
While the premise itself sounds exciting, nothing prepared me for the interviews I would hear in the documentary itself. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1514526601599","data":"5a45df7c14ec8"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1514526603482","data":"
Sastry is a clever director, even while making a documentary. Frustrated, no doubt, with the lack of opinionated 20-year olds to be found in 1967, Sastry bent the rules a little and went to IIT Bombay, where he would interview a wide variety of 20-year olds, not just those who were born on the 15th of August, 1947. <\/p>
The most immediate thing we notice is not the setting, not the people, but what they have to say. The young 20-year olds express dissatisfaction with the government, pride in their country's independence, hope and cynicism for the country's future. As I watched, jaw dropped, interviews of men and women who were 20, 50 years ago, it struck me like a bolt of lightning just how much had changed since then, and it saddened me even more that so much had remained the same. <\/p>
Young men and women, despite a difference of half a century, seem to still have the same level of discontentment with the world and their country, some 20-year olds display a maturity and knowledge well beyond what is expected of their age, like the only named person from the documentary, T.N. Subramaniam, a soft spoken young man who carried himself like a professor with tenure. <\/p>
\"It's become a fashion to gather and hate the country,\" Subramaniam astutely observes, before saying that things needed to be changed and that he would love to be a part of that, \"It's an experiment, and I would like to be a part of that.\" <\/p>

The reason I'm posting this now, at the beginning of the New Year, is because I want to tell you all, us all actually, us 20s somethings disillusioned with the country, that this is not someone else's country but our own and it is up to us to fix it as the days go by. <\/p>
What I also want to say is that you shouldn't be required to take this enormous responsibility on yourself, if you want to leave the country for greener pastures abroad, feel free to do so, it is your right to do so. But if you're the kind that wants to stay back and fight, all I want to say is that you're not alone. You'll never be alone. <\/p>
So remember that while I do not fault you for leaving the country, I just want to remind you that India is a constant wound that we must care of, if for nothing else but because it is ours, it is mine, it is yours, it belongs to us, this country, this land, belongs to us, and it is up to us to keep it as open as possible and share it with fellow sons and daughters of the soil. <\/p>
We have to become more accepting, kinder and gentler with people, we have to realise that the rat race we were all part of since our childhood only encourages screwing over the other person due to over overpopulated country causing a constant fight for resources. We have to realise that India, while it is yours to inherit and shape, also belongs to the people around you, with their various beliefs, sexual orientations and goals. We should strive to create a truly open and free society where people like the admin of Humans of Hinduvta does not have to fear prosecution and does not have to face death threats on the lives of his wife and child, where men and women are equal and where people are free to love whom they want to love. <\/p>
That is my idea of India and I'm willing to fight for that in 2018. I strongly encourage you to check out this documentary, I've posted it below. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1514528750992","data":"fA8h74ZW8Ok"}]

2017 is almost coming to an end, and everybody is making plans to welcome the new beginning by partying with friends and family.\nThe New Year is the time at which a new calendar year begins and the calendar's year count increases by one. The month of January derives its name from a two-faced God named Janus. Janus’ one face looked forward while the other looked backward, this is why, and the New Year’s Day is a national holiday celebrated on January 1st, the first day of the New Year, following both the Gregorian and the Julian calendar. This holiday is often marked by an array of fireworks, parades, and reflection upon the last year while looking ahead to the future’s possibilities.\nNew Year’s is one of the oldest holidays still celebrated, but the exact date and nature of the festivities has changed over time. It originated thousands of years ago in ancient Babylon, celebrated as an eleven day festival on the first day of spring. During this time, many cultures used the sun and moon cycle to decide the “first” day of the year. It wasn’t until Julius Caesar implemented the Julian calendar that January 1st became the common day for the celebration. The content of the festivities has varied as well. While early celebrations were more paganistic in nature, celebrating Earth’s cycles, Christian tradition celebrates the Feast of the Circumcision of Christ on New Year’s Day. Roman Catholics also often celebrate Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, a feast honoring Mary. However, in the twentieth century, the holiday grew into its own celebration and mostly separated from the common association with religion. It has become a holiday associated with nationality, relationships, and introspection rather than a religious celebration, although many people do still follow older traditions.\nTypically the customs and traditions of New Years Day involve celebrating with champagne and a variety of different foods. New Years marks a date of newly found happiness and a clean slate. For many celebrating New Years, it is their opportunity to learn from the prior year and make positive changes in their life.\nThough the celebration varies around the world, the common traditions that are followed across the world are making resolutions, which is mostly about starting a healthy diet, ditching the old, bad habits, and living a healthy life; partying with the dear ones, typically with champagne, feasting, confetti, noise makers, and other methods of merriment Fireworks, parades, concerts; and many more.\nThe way how different countries celebrate the New Year’s Day is pretty amusing. In France, New Year is typically celebrated with a feast and a champagne toast, marking the first moments of New Year’s Day with kisses under the mistletoe, which most other cultures associate with Christmas celebrations; while in America it is celebrated with a party featuring toasting, drinking and fireworks late into the night before the New Year, where the gathering counts down the final seconds to January 1st. \nAlthough, in India, people dress up colorfully in their best suite and indulge in fun filled activities such as singing, dancing, clubbing and partying. Night clubs, movie theaters and resorts are filled with people of all ages during the New Year’s Eve. Exchanging messages, greeting cards and gifts are part and parcel of the New Year celebration. The media covers many New Year events which are showcased on prime channels for most of the day. \nLarger cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai organize live concerts which are attended by well-known personalities. Large crowds gather to attend such shows, such fun filled activities during New Year is considered a great opportunity to get closer to the loved ones and to revive contact with lost friends. The idea is to wave goodbye to the year gone-by and welcome the New Year in the hope that it will invite truckloads of happiness and joy in everyone’s life.<\/p>\n
Raise the glass and say cheers to 2k18!\nHappy New Year to all, in advance.<\/p>\n","id":"1514380890948","type":"txt"}]
Now a days, there is more change in technology. But, there is no change in the fields which will change technology. Everyone, will have a doubt by reading the above sentence fields? . I mean the fields of technology is Engineering. In the society there is an increment of technology. But, in our Engineering Education we are learning the first which is introduced. But, daily there is a change in technology. We the Engineering students we are unable to over come the change in technology. This is the reason why we are not getting jobs after completion of our Engineering Graduation. I think our Engineering Professional course is Creative and Innovation of technology.
