2020 ~ ARCHITA PODDAR

2020

How long the fear of virus will last, we wonder,

What should we do next, we often ponder,

Many questions, yet have no answers,

We all praying, not to get cough, feverish disaster;

Quarantine, isolation, conforming with respect,

Preventing contagious disease’s threat,

Tragic demise, intercepting not to neglect,

Divine intervention may start to protect;

I wonder if it’s a sign from the above!

His Power’s way teaching peace and love!

God may forfend, spreading infection,

He may flash unstoppable illumination;

Perhaps for taking rebirth or renewal

Hibernation and darkness are a must

For the spring flowers to bloom,

They must endure a harsh winter,I trust

Before rising, Sun must set

Caterpillar’s journey ‘to beget’

Into a butterfly, without regret,

Isolation? It’s Not; but a journey within,

To become our better version, we begin

Counting our blessings, hedging a bet

With gratitude, grace, est we forget

Like pearls set upon Coronet!

UNEMPLOYMENT AMONG B.TECH STUDENTS ~ RAJDEEP DAS

WHY AN INDIAN ENGINEERING FRESHER REMAIN UNEMPLOYED AFTER THE COMPLETION OF B.TECH IN INDIA

In various states of India for example west Bengal the curriculum of an engineering college is way backdated. They study age old technologies which have become obsolete in present day industry. So we can’t expect them student to do innovative stuffs on cloud computing or IoT based of the mere knowledge of transistors and p-n junction diodes. It is like a kid has just learned to draw a straight line and the parents are expecting him/her to produce a van Gog painting.

In most of the tier 3 private colleges in India the faculty, college infrastructure and the whole education environment is not good enough to produce a proper engineer. Students are more interested in college fests, weeds, porn, hook ups etc rather than taking interest in academics. In this kind of environment no innovations can be done. A bitter truth that we all have to admit.

Apart from the college activities the other big problem is the huge population. India doesn’t have that much industry/job opportunity yet to accommodate the huge amount engineers produce each year. Economy does play an important role behind the unemployment of these fresh engineers.

Not every student gets the opportunity to study in an IIT or in a NIT. 75%-80% engineering students belong from the private colleges under state universities.  So for the betterment of these unemployed and current engineering students the first thing that needs to be done is to reconstruct the academic system of the private colleges. Evidently a very hard task indeed.
     
                                                                                    

THE CURVES OF ILLUSION ~ ARCHITA PODDAR

THE CURVES OF ILLUSION

Well you may or may not like Abstract Art or may simply hate it or may not understand exactly what it is. But, since you have started reading this, I can assume that you are curious about this form of art and illusion.

ABSTRACT ART is a non-figurative and non-objective form of art. It has been with us in one form or another for almost a century now and has proved to be a self-renewing important tradition of creativity. It is just lines and different types of shapes which conveys some kind of emotion.Abstract Art is a passion. It is just a representation of a person's mind. It delivers thoughts, experiences and feelings of a person.I believe that the continuing interest in Abstract Art lies in it's ability to inspire our curiosity about the reaches of our imagination and the potential for us to create something unique.The more I attempt to make something real and unique as a painter, the more abstract it becomes. Slowly and steadily I had fallen in love with this paradox. I do enjoy playing with lines and different shapes to create the images I imagine and I want. I believe that the shapes and lines are a kind of joyous and mysterious language that is both personal as well as universal at the same time.

Abstraction creates a departure from reality. It creates an illusion. This departure allows a man to see with his mind which he cannot see physically with his eyes.

JEALOUS

    JEALOUS

     ~ RAJDEEP DAS

She came like a gentle breeze,

In a thunderstorm rainy day.

She came to two guys,

Both fighting with life's pain and rage.

She came to two guys,

One troubled for the abundant love,

The Other getting chocked,

In the raging wave of pain.

She held one's hand,

Felt nothing but cold dead touch.

The other's hand too

Got cold as much.

She laughed, she cursed,

She tried to help survive a guy.

 other one though burned like,

A candle to show her the way.

PERSONAL

I am gonna buy me a dog

Cause I know

That I'll need a friend. 

Cause I need someone to cuddle. 

For whom loving, 

Isn't a hurdle

For whom life

Is as windy as the breeze. 

I am gonna buy me a house, 

With warmth

And dog biscuits and toys all around. 

Cause I know 

her wants are simple

There will be no fights

For matters so trifle

Whose love

Will bring my nerves to ease

I am gonna buy me a leash

With tender touch

And a silver collar on lease

Cause her touch , 

Is my resurrection

I am caged

In her affection. 

From her love, 

Smitten as I am, 

I will never be released.
