Aryan is back with the ceasefire as he had promised. So without wasting any more time lets begin with the spell of fun and enjoyment and today’s top stories are as follows:-
• Aryan joins ASCO •
• Making of Hard Tym Journos •
• ASCO on the media trip to Jaisalmer •
Now the stories in detail:-
Aryan joins Amity School of communication (ASCO):
In the early childhood Aryan always dreamt of being Air Force pilot, later after knowing himself he decided to be an engineer (aeronautic). Karna jo b hai but must deals with flying and aircrafts. Aryan ne’er knew that his urge to write will land him in press (being a journalist) one day. Aryan used to write regularly for the various periodicals both local and national. The write ups were so frequent that his acquaintances got a belief Aryan may be working for the organizations but the truth was Aryan was hardly interested in earning from writing rather media. Aryan used to write everything poems, essays, stories lymric etc but today he is focused only on the serious issues. Time passed and Aryan became a well known writer of the valley and the youngest member of the ‘young writers association of India’. It was then when he realized that being an engineer or a pilot is not Aryan’s cup of tea but journalism is. As such he decided to do mass communication after his intermediate (12th) but unfortunately, there was no college which could offer bachelors degree in Journalism and mass communication in the whole of Jammu and Kashmir State. So he decided to move out. But again there was a big snag for Aryan as all the renowned colleges of mass communication and journalism were done with their admission process. Annoyed Aryan with lackadaisical attitude searched Google for the last ray of hope. Oh! My God! To his surprise Amity School of Communication Rajasthan was waiting for him. At this Aryan remembered the famous saying that if one door is closed seven others open. …and finally the day came and Aryan was selected to be the part of ASCO as the student of journalism. That was really a proud moment for him; not because he has joined Amity but he was near to cherish his dreams. Though sometimes Aryan’s associate always taunted him for not sitting in any of the competitive exams but hats-off to his parents who always supported him by all means. May almighty bless them! Now Aryan is Amitian as well as ASCOite and of course journalist.

The first story might be boring a bit but it was really necessary to introduce Aryan – the main character of Ceasefire.
Making of Hard Tym Journos:
Who is a hard time journalist? Really a difficult question to answer but from the media point of view , those journalists who give up there everything for a cause and die working on it but in the context of Aryan it refers to his friends his classmates, a mere group of 13 people rather students along with their faculty, who brought change in their department. In the beginning every hard tym journo considered him self to be the superior and the better than the rest but it is always said time is the best medicine and teacher. We all soon realized ‘together we can’ and hence hard tym journalists rocked. All our dreams stormed and resulted in the development of our esteemed department. From scratch to everything hard time journalists have seen everything. A new development in our department meant a party time for us all. It’s not wrong if I say hum nay badalte ASCO ko dekha hai… It is pertinent to mention here that when hard tym journos joined Amity University Rajasthan only a few people knew about the Amity School of Communication (ASCO) but today every one knows and respects it. ASCO Rajasthan was the first to organize a media fest in Rajasthan and also the first to organize the International Media Conference in the whole country. It will real injustice if I did not name the members of the group rather juggler vain of ASCO called ‘Hard Tym Journos’

Hey friends!!!Aryan is back again with his new and fresh column called nahi nahi abhi nahi….thoda karo intizaar! Though Aryan will be writing for a short spell but I guarantee you the wholesome fun, enjoyment, masti and everything you might only have thought of. This time Aryan has planned different for his readers. Really!! He is going to write something you can never even imagine him writing. This time nothing serious or any hard issues, only chilling and fulltush fun. So what you have to do nothing just wait and watch. Trust me you will enjoy to the fullest. Chalo ho gay sab bakwas and all bla bla bla thing… aur jitna bad likh sakta tha likh diya but now coming to the serious point and that’s the column.
About the Column
The column is named as the CeaseFire but it will never have some fire extinguishers or the soft words but in fact will be targeting the loop holes and issues in between friends, mates and others. In other words we refer it to as emotions.
Why ceasefire
The name ceasefire always reminds me of the days when I had confrontation with my classmates over small matters rather trifles though we always tried to nip the evil at its bud and most of the time we were successful but in some cases story was different.
Unique
My worthy readers and my friends know that Aryan is fond of adventures, experiments and discovering new tracks as such this time Aryan is again taking a risk or I can say doing an experiment for his new column. He does not know how much it will be successful but is sure about reaping a good harvest.
Experiment
Though Aryan has decided to continue writing for the amity blog and even the name was decided prior to his move to the new organization for internship but he was not able to decide how to go about rather what should be the content and the format of the column? But finally, only yesterday both things got finalized. The content or the theme was decided as 'emotions' and the format 'news bulletin'. Don't you feel little odd that what emotions have to do with the news bulletin. This is Aryan's Experiment. What he is going to do is that there will be whole news bulletin with the stories of the events happening in the lives of Aryan and his acquaintances. The ceasefire will be the extinguisher for the impatient worries and misunderstandings.
Where it all started
Yesterday, Aryan came to know about the theme of ASCO's Fashion Show during AYAM and with no second thought he decided to give it a chance and 'emotions' was finalized but Aryan was little confused even after such a wonderful theme and presentation why ASCO was 2nd? Never mind personal thoughts may vary and decisions of judges are final and have to be respected. Though the theme was decided but Aryan was still not sure about the content quality; he needed more weight age for his personal satisfaction. In the mean time sachin scored a century and then yuvraj hitting 58, Aryan was sure about India not winning this time. But what a day it was as the match progressing Aryan too coming towards satisfaction but he doesn't knew until Ajmal Shehzad hitting a SIX for england and then Grame Swann equalizing the total. In the meantime one of Aryan's friends messaged him that she is lazing around and is alone as her friends have gone to some fest in nearby college. She further described herself as loner, arrogant, short-tempered, impatient and something stubborn. Though Aryan was familiar with these words but for his friend he was not able to judge whether these words mean the same what oxford says? … But on the other side of it Aryan got his ultimate satisfaction and you all will be reading news bulletins on emotions from next Saturday. (Almighty Willing)
Signing off
So with this introduction of ‘CeaseFire’ comes to an end. And Aryan is wishing all the best to ASCO for the upcoming International Media Conference. For my esteemed readers and friends keep reading and do take of yourself. With this Aryan is signing off with a thought that you are going to read, like and love 'CeaseFire' a lot :)
Cheers Habeebi!
Cheers ASCO!!

Vishal Bhardwaj takes a leap from Shakespeare to Greek tragedy. After having successfully rendered Othello and Macbeth in a purely desi idiom, the avant garde film maker transforms Priyanka Chopra into a Medea-laike inferno who is hell-bent on revenge, after she fails to get her due from love and life. Is this leap successful too; First things first. 7 Khoon Maaf is an intensely dark film which unfolds in shadows and silhouettes. So, if you aren't mistakenly looking for entertainment here, you are going to love this half-lit canvas of crime and punishment which lays bare the innermost recesses of a tortured soul. Vishal never once slips and let’s go of his hold on this intense study of grief and grime. From the very first shot, which explodes with a grimacing Priyanka pulling the trigger on God-knows-who, the director inexorably draws you into this welter of passion and crime. All the death play takes place in semi-darkness: an almost outward pouring of an evil soul. And this brings us to the second stirring note of 7 Khoon Maaf. The film is based on a seven-page story by Ruskin Bond. Vishal not only fleshes out the characters and adds immense details to the plot and the narration; he also balances the moral fulcrum at an interesting point. Priyanka may be a murderer, but is she evil? Never. Like all good and realistic crime and passion plays, this one too showcases the protagonist as a woman with a purpose. She may have used poisonous snakes and mushrooms and loaded guns to do away with her husbands, but you don't really blame her. Because somewhere through her dark and devious journey, Suzanna carries the pain of every woman wronged: either by a two-timing husband, a wife-beating husband, a junkie husband, a murderous husband, a dictatorial husband, a sadistic husband, a husband who treats his wife as a sex object. The poor soul has no option but to end her anguish, any way, in terms of performances, 7 Khoon Maaf would undoubtedly end up as a milestone in Priyanka Chopra's career graph. The actor displays exquisite command over a complex character that is definitely a first in Indian cinema. She renders a subtle and restrained portrayal of a lonely and wronged woman who wanted love and only love from life. Amongst her husbands, it is Neil and Irrfan who excel as the brutes, even though it is hard to find fault with any of the characters in a Vishal Bhardwaj film. The music score (Gulzar and Vishal) is riveting too and boasts of the mesmerizing Darrrling number, amongst other tuneful songs. A word about the length: a bit of editing and tightening would make the experience more compelling.
