TISS Mumbai - What Makes It Different?
TISS is something fundamentally different. And now that I have got that so very clichéd yet so very true statement out of the way, let us try and identify the things that make TISS the lovely place that it is for a student.
AROHAN
Like a cool breeze offering respite from the midday sun, Arohan 2013 gave NITIEians a reason to cheer for 3 days full of cultural festivities as hundreds ascended the 96 steps onto the NITIE Lawns for the first Inter B-school Cultural Festival of NITIE, organized by the Cultural Team, to see and enjoy the dance, music, drama and other stage shows which make up the cultural fabric of the glorious institute.
From Nature’s Bounty to Rock Music to IIM SHILLONG
Landlocked within the barriers of the Khasi Hills lies this wonderful place, nature’s manifestation of subtle beauty and an enchantment that prolongs itself and lingers around your comprehension. Shillong, it is, the enchantress and the tantalizing beauty that leaves you bewildered with her awesomeness. This place credits itself to a plethora of offerings. One such typical feature being the fickle weather that is so susceptible to change and yet amazingly pleasant.
NITIE celebrates 'National Education Day'
To commemorate the 126th birth anniversary of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, NITIE jointly with AICTE celebrated the National Education Day on November 11, 2013. The event had eminent personalities actively involved in the education system of the country sharing their valuable thoughts about education and the education system.
My first Diwali at IIM Shillong!
The preparations had started about a week back. The Cultural Committee could be seen huddled in rooms, having meetings till late into the night. Notwithstanding the daily rigour of assignments, classes and pre-reads, they quietly set into motion the elaborate preparations. We hardly noticed it. We did not even see the decorations, until the night they switched off the lights at the Quadrangle. The entire college was alit, not from the glow of sodium vapour and halogen lamps, but from tiny LED lights spread over the college, hanging from the rooftops of the hostels, twined around the pillars, put in patterns over the railings. The campus was flooded with the soft glow of tiny lights and a strange warmth that lessened the chill of the November night. We knew it then, even though it was four or five days away, that Diwali was coming.
INDEX : The carnival, the lab
Its tough to imagine what a city really is. You are one person. You like one thing. Thousands like you. Thousands identical. Thousands similar. Thousands polar opposites. A living breathing mass of juxtaposed strangers…who think like a group. Sometimes like a team! Popular thoughts of high traffic like the national highways that shoot across Lucknow. Tiny bubbles of original choice like the Galiyan in Chowk. Connections form and amalgamate like streets that criss cross at the scores of chaurahas. A labyrinthine web of thoughts that live secret, dormant lives in the furthest corner of minds. Suddenly becoming visible, in all their glory, in busy supermarkets. In the Sharma ji ki nukkad wali dukaan. In every Agarwal store. Quietly whispering in consumers’ ears to buy this. Not that. And now. Not later.
