Some friendships are peaceful, some are pure, some are too crazy too handle while others are just not meant to be. We come across many people at every point in our lives and gradually some of them become family to us. Today, in a world full of competition and rivalry, people have become busy in making contacts or say acquaintances rather than building a true relationship like friendship. Making friends is easy but making true ones are difficult.<\/p>
Friendship has no particular definition rather it is full of different colors. Number of years does not define true friendship rather understanding does whether built in no time or built over a number of years. There are very few people who are ready to take your baggage on their shoulders and only family can do this with a huge smile on their faces. <\/p>
Friends become family when they understand you more than you know yourself. Friends become family when they can catch that something is bothering you even before you tell them. Friends become family when you can feel their presence even if they are far away from you. Friends become family when you can share everything and anything with them. <\/p>
Friends are that kind of family with whom you can fight and they will still understand you, the kind of family in front of whom you can rant and ramble about anything and everything and they won\u2019t judge you, that family with whom you can not only carry out long gossip sessions but have long hours of deep conversations, have breakfast with and do craziest of things together. <\/p>
When friends become family, life seems so sorted and more beautiful than ever because you know that whatever may come, bad or good this family of yours will never leave your side.\nWell, if you have even one such person in your life, then consider yourself lucky because trust me, they are nothing less than a treasure and there are many people out there who crave for such family like friends in their life.\n<\/p>"}]
Of all the breeze that just passed by me, <\/p>
Of all the wind that touched my knees. <\/p>
I remember the days of the olden scrapes, <\/p>
Of all the exuberant but dull etches.\n<\/p>
<\/p>
A window and the express called for me, <\/p>
The frame carried all the folks close to me. <\/p>
Every town and every city it reckoned, <\/p>
Searched for mine but nowhere round.\n<\/p>
I opened the window to search the folks, <\/p>
Wandered through the streets and all the roads. <\/p>
To find them I crossed over all the bounds, <\/p>
But nowhere to find they were nowhere round. <\/p>
\nThe fellas round escorted me to the target <\/p>
They cheered with me but defied in the grey. <\/p>
We had our sails set in a flock, all in all for the call, <\/p>
I always abetted and stood as a rock. <\/p>
\nWith the handful memories I clutched my mug, <\/p>
The coffee strong with the German bread. <\/p>
With passengers round I walked upon my call, <\/p>
They blissed they cheered but passed the looks in weird. <\/p>
\n\nI called for them in the moaning songs, <\/p>
My voice cracked and lashed at the shores. <\/p>
My sail was bound to the coast far-flung, <\/p>
All throughout, my folks were not around. <\/p>"}]
From Harry Potter and the Philosopher\u2019s Stone to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the journey has been one of a kind. We all potterheads had a great time during the whole journey which was full of magical spells, irresistible characters, essence of true love and friendship and rivalry. Undoubtedly, JK Rowling wrote a wonderful fiction and the movies produced were even more fabulous. Whenever you hear someone referring to Harry Potter you take, not more than nanoseconds to become a part of it and arguing with you is such a waste, because Harry Potter fan and no one can beat you! <\/p>
At least we potter fanatics can\u2019t get enough of the series and are hard core addicts. Following are some of the mutual feelings and things all potterheads share and experience!! <\/p>
1.\tWhenever you check your mail, you finally think that maybe today will finally be day and you start getting visuals of admission letter from Hogwarts!\nOh my! Already into my magical world! <\/p>
\n2.\tAfter watching the series or while watching them you must have lost interest in sports if that\u2019s not Quidditch, at some point of time in your life and your reaction to the sport is like what? No brooms? No house uniform? The ball ain\u2019t a Quaffle? No point playing the sport. No interest in any other sport. You just wish this beloved game to become an Olympic sport. Because why not? <\/p>
\n3.\tWhenever you feel lazy as hell or you are told to do some work, you start wishing that you had the wand and everything could have been so easy.\nJust one spell and things in life are sorted!!<\/p>
4.\tIf you are a true potter fanatic, then you must have collected harry potter merchandises and beating you in the harry potter quiz is next impossible. <\/p>
\n5.\tAt times you wish that you could send howling letters to the people who are a constant pain in your ass but soon you realise that you are a muggle. <\/p>
\n6.\tWhatever the occasion be, all you need is a warming Butterbeer and you are sorted. <\/p>
\n7.\tNow you don\u2019t mind getting socks on Christmas anymore, because the person gifting you wants you to be a free soul forever just like Dobby gave to Harry Potter. But, you soon realise that he is dead and you can\u2019t stop the tears rolling from your eyes. <\/p>
\n8.\tYou certainly know everything about each character of the series and you constantly want to find something new about the same. Also, you follow the entire cast because you simply love them and to keep yourself updated because duh\u2026\u2026 you are a genuine fan! <\/p>
\n9.\t Shouting \u2018Alohomora\u2019 confidently with a stick whenever you are locked out and making random hissing noises at snakes in the hope of them answering at you back. <\/p>
\n10.\tEmergence of that nostalgic feeling whenever you re-read or re-watch Harry Potter movies is just priceless and knowing deep down that there will never be next harry potter sequel again!\n<\/p>"}]
Invariably in all the college fests, Paper Presentation is a must. It deals with how effectively you present a topic before your audience. Many things have to be considered to deliver a good presentation; the content of your presentation, eloquence, length of the presentation and many other factors. Here is a list of things you need to remember before you present the paper. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1487326190882","data":"
1. Minimize the number of slides: <\/b><\/p>
Content of the presentation is of vital importance for any presentation. One should be able to convey the message to the audience in a proper way. To keep your audience attentive minimize the number of slides. Use points or bullets rather than paragraphs. It makes things easier. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1487333486801","data":"58a6e8a7bc1d2"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1487326275341","data":"
2. Choose a font style that is visible to your audience from a distance: <\/b><\/p>
Choose a font style that is visible to your audience from a longer distance, it keeps the audience engaged and interested. Sometimes when your voice is not clear or audible enough, your presentation will be the only medium for the viewers to understand the topic and content. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1487333574258","data":"58a6e8fe23adf"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1487326522100","data":"
3. Brevity: <\/b><\/p>
Long paragraphs in your slides would not grab the attention of the target audience. Use simple language, present your content in bullet points. Keep it crisp and clear. Another potential threat is that some projectors crop slides at the edges, so long sentences may be cropped and that would leave behind a negative impression. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1487333665675","data":"58a6e959bb99f"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1487326578428","data":"
4. Use Graphics: <\/b> <\/p>
Use art to make your presentation visually attractive. Choose an appealing, consistent template or theme that is not too eye-catching. You don't want the background or design to detract from your message. Use graphics, charts, graphs to present your data. Make sure you do not use too many graphics or custom transitions because that would not interest the audience. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1487333404464","data":"58a6e85734292"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1487326673177","data":"
5. Do not read the presentation: <\/b><\/p>
Since your presentation will be having bullet points, practice in such a way that you elaborate on each point one you look at the keyword or heading. If you are simply going to read the presentation, it is not going to impress the audience. Besides that you have to be eloquent and loud. The success of your presentation is primarily judged on these parameters. <\/p>

6. Maintain Eye Contact:<\/b><\/p>
Maintaining a proper body language during paper presentation is of primary importance. Maintain eye - contact with the audience is as important as your content. Respond to their reactions and try to give spontaneous answers. Monitor your audience behavior, you cannot simply read out information from the slides, face the audience and use gestures. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1487333806461","data":"58a6e9e94a0e5"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1487327158395","data":"
7. Make it Interactive: <\/b><\/p>
Make the presentation as interactive as possible. Ask for feedback from the audience, it is the best way to improve yourself. Questions are an excellent indicator that people are engaged by your subject matter and presentation skills. But if you save questions until the end of the presentation, you will get through your material uninterrupted. So choose it to do it in the end, but do not miss out on it. <\/p>

According to a study by a Delhi based employment solutions company, less than 20% of students graduating from engineering colleges are employable for jobs while only 7.49% are competent enough to be employed for core engineering jobs. According to the HRD ministry, India has 6,214 engineering and technology institutions which are enrolling 2.9 million students; with 1.5 million engineers getting into the job market every year. <\/p>
Regardless of the area of study, it is owing to the lack of three crucial skills that students are unemployable and surprisingly, these three skills can't be taught and can only be acquired and developed by students themselves. Writing, speaking and leadership skills.<\/p>
It's just these three skills that can set you apart from your peers, put you ahead of everyone else in any recruitment process. Having made my career only based on these skill sets, I can say this with conviction. Colleges spend a lot of money on hiring recruitment trainers to train the students on these very skills but these skills have to be acquired and are very difficult to teach; besides, not many realise that four years of college itself provides ample opportunities for students to pick up these skills.<\/p>
For instance, a college fest gives many opportunities to pick up speaking and leadership skills. Right from the first year, if a student involves himself\/herself on the organising committee of various events at the college fest, crucial leadership skills, problem solving skills and people management skills can be learnt. So instead of someone coming over and teaching a student on how to develop these skills, a student can learn by actually doing it. I picked up my skills in a similar way, though I did it outside of college when I was in a co-founding capacity at an online magazine; nevertheless, it is what I learnt when I was 19 that is helping me now. Leadership skills are crucial at any juncture in life and recruiters usually look for candidates who are potential leaders.<\/p>
To learn the art of speaking and writing, the first thing that needs to be done is to be adept and fluent in a language. In the Indian scenario, it is English that is absolutely necessary in this context and the best way to learn any language is to immerse yourself in it. Read, speak, watch, listen to that language. Once you have a command over the language, learning how to express is what one needs to do.<\/p>
To learn how to write, the easiest way is to read extensively and observe how people write. Newspapers are the easiest and cheapest way to acquire this skill and later, practice writing on different topics by making optimal use of platforms like this one. That way, throughout your college years, you can pick up these crucial skills.<\/p>
Speaking is also an art as speaking is what will eventually get you a job. In short, when you talk in an interview, you are selling yourself to the company and to be able to do that, you have to be able to speak and articulate in the best way. And this, can't be taught by anyone and it is up to the students to acquire this skill too and the shortcut to being a good speaker is to speak as much as possible in public platforms. College fests are again the best platforms for this.<\/p>
So make the most of the time spent in college and take advantage of the access you have to your peer group and learn these skills to tackle the real world!<\/p>"}]

Last week, I reviewed Ajaya Book 1: Roll of The Dice<\/a> and this week I'm reviewing its sequel, which concludes the story. The sequel begins with Draupadi being summoned after being won by the Kauravas in a game of dice and goes on to tell the exact same course of events of the Mahabharata that we all know.
