Outing and Me  

Posted in

Hey everyone….hope the unpredictable weather hasn’t taken much off your moods! Well this certainly isn’t my favorite season, but not something I could hate too! Anyways, this week Saturday turned out to be a working day for us, and for hostellers like me, it certainly wasn’t a very good news…I had plans to go down to the city! Never mind, I shifted plans to Sunday and off we went for a break we always deserve! Now, many of the newcomers (and some faculty too) here think that why do we students keep running to Jaipur every weekend?? Well I could tell them aplenty reasons but to put them all in a nutshell, here are the reasons numbered:

1) Pet Puja! No matter how good mess food is, we have a tendency to always like the dhabe ka khana down the city road.

2) Academics! Its only every Saturday that we realize that we need to buy our course books (that we always postpone for the next week1)

3) SHOPPING!!!! We students have to go the market every other weekend cause we need to buy some essentials always, only to realize that we already have a stock of it

4) Birthdays! Every other weekend, there is a birthday or some other occasion coming up, so who wouldn’t want to buy gifts and cards and cakes and chocolates?? Everyone of us. Only to realize that the occasion is either over or yet to come in like 10 days!

5) Family! We have to stay connected with our families right, so every second weekend, we are striding to jaipur to meet our relatives, who we never end up meeting with!

6) Theatre! What will happen of the box office if we don’t go watch the latest flick? We can’t be so hard hearted can we?

7) Health! It is only on Friday that some of us suddenly notice how sick our roommate/friend is and seeks immediate medical attention, hence Saturday goes for doctors appointment. Once we get down that bus, all sickness vanishes suddenly!

And the list could go on and on….hehe!! Well honestly, one of the many things that I shall miss is standing in those long queues for out passes and giving some lame reasons for getting one! Ah, stepping in 3rd year has certainly made me nostalgic! Anyways, you all keep enjoying life, and keep commenting! Tada!!!!

My sweet n salty Freshers  

Posted in

Friends!!! You might have thought that I have forgotten you or I have been fired from the job. Hmmm but that was not the case, actually I was busy in discovering my rather your best friend who will talk to you. He knows me well, I know him well, he is among you rather one of you; he is one and only ‘Mr. Muser’ of ‘Tuesday Musings ’. He will entertain, amuse you and will also discuss your problems. So cheer up friends your muser is here. Mr. Muser, “what a great day to start with. HAPPY RAKHI to one and all”.
Mr. Muser was standing alone waiting for a friend, near the pathway junction rather PMC (Piya Milan Chohraha) as we call it. All of a sudden, a modest cluster passed and wished Mr. Muser “Good Evening sir” and Mr. Muser got little confused rather bewildered but he soon gathered his senses with a calm response. 
Well, the new batch has just joined and thus our campus has turned more lush and green. I must say marvellous. Mr. Muser hates nonsense, so now no more bakwas bus sedhi baat. Mr. Muser is a super senior now as such with maturity and experience; advice also comes to action. Let’s see what he has for his super juniors.
“We (seniors) welcome you (Freshers) to our undifferentiated world of Amity Universe. We even advice you that before you indulge yourself in any kind of lafda think twice as such activities are not entertained in the campus.  And it’s the time for raksha bandhan so relax and celebrate this “Rakshah bandhan” with all your new batch mates and wonderful seniors.  Well, humour aside and coming back to business, there are a few informal set of guidelines especially for you my dearest fresher’s:
i.         Divide your brain into 3 parts- a larger part for studies, another part for your extreme field of interest (which include sports and other healthy activities) and the last one for the FUN.
ii.       No fooling around!! Never misbehave with anyone around, as it’s definitely going to harm you; especially not with your teachers and seniors because ultimately they are the one who will be besides you come what may in addition with the healthy knowledge and grades.
iii.      For any educational or emotional assistance use library, green box and psychology department.
iv.     Now, at last but not the least as the saying goes on “No ‘she’ or ‘he’ factor must affect you, whether it is mentally, physically, emotional or still financially”. Have a stone heart if you are student of journalism.
Now finally, this is Mr. Muser signing off with the wish that my sweet n salty fresher’s should have fun around and in the campus, enjoy the weather but not at the cost of academics... 

Nos Vemos!!!

Day 3- Morning session  

Posted in


Altamash Memon/Sandra Joseph

The session, chaired by Dr. Sajjan Singh(Chinmaya Mission, Rewa), started with an evoking thought of Prof.C.R.Mukundan(Former Prof. and Head, NIMHANS, 
Bangalore) on Brain Interface of Free-Will, which was explicated as-“If you are a driver, and you know how your car works, then you’ll drive the car well”. Citing man as a rational animal in aspect of neuro-cognitive evaluation, he further stated quotes of Sir William James, as “When murders and treacheries cease to be sin, regrets are theoretical absurdities and errors”.
Divulging further intricacies, he highlighted certain aspects of Preattentive emotions and stimulus, Free Will, etc. Recognizing Response Inhibition as an extraordinary ability, and an effective way of improved stimuli, he defined it as “terminating, delaying, and finally executing the response, at the right time”. On an optimistic note, he concluded, that creating a better future, in the present is a sign of true learning.
Bringing theory to actual lifetime experiences was Prof. Rajbir Singh(Ph.D, Dept.Of Psychology, M.D.University, Rohtak).Defining positive psychology, from past experiences, as scientific study of virtues and strengths, and using it as an umbrella term for study of positive emotions, character traits, and institutions enabling them. Throwing light on strengths, and their role in success, he explained how to own, and express signature strength, which is a vital attribute of every individual.
 Having a graduate’s degree in Psychology, Dr. Sanjay Srivastava(Amity Business School, Noida) pictorially represented the “Diminishing returns in Pursuit Of Happiness”. He defined all aspects of well being, with the universal truth that, an auto locus (“Swastha”) person enjoys harmonious life. He wrapped up the session with the fact that true happiness lies in the learning of our virtues.
At this juncture, all the speakers were presented with a token of gratitude, and a momentum of rememberance.

Welcome Juniors!!!!  

Posted in


Finally, Aryan is back that too with a different style and vogue. What is he up to? What is he going to write? Questions were troubling me but Aryan had decided something good. Aryan joined college some two years back; joined as a junior, and then he became senior and now a super senior. Things and time both have changed but Aryan still misses those humble days of his first year when he was a fresher rather junior himself. Kya baat le ke baith gaya tu Aryan aaj kya hua woh bata?? Oh! Okay, what happened today really made Aryan to get lost in the thoughts of thoughts...

Aryan was just wandering with his friends when a humble, unrecognised sweet voice greeted with a sentence that brings dignity, pride and responsibility in you.... yes friends you guessed it right -‘Good Morning Sir’. Aryan was so confused who is wishing him in this manner  as all  his  juniors now wish him very informally usually ‘bhaiya’ but  ‘sir’, who this can be?   Any way Aryan responded to the voice but still with the confusion.

In the afternoon, one of Aryan’s junior told him about the arrival of the juniors. At this Aryan spoke out ‘oh! I see’. Any way it was really good to see your juniors becoming seniors in other words getting matured. Aryan’s expectations from the young guns have also now taken wings. But where is that excitement, zeal and that fire? A difficult question for Aryan to answer but the things will not remain same always, time will take a turn. New torch bearers of Aryan’s department will soon realise it. At the moment Aryan’s juniors are offering all sorts of help to their juniors exactly what Aryan wanted. So cheers!! My dearest juniors rather betas, as I often call them.  

Now a small piece of advice from the Aryan to the fresher rather his super juniors. First of all ‘tension lene ka nahi denay ka’. Secondly, be happy. Thirdly, follow all the university protocols and lastly, if any problem or difficulty arises consult your mentors or your seniors. It’s just the beginning of your college life so just chill and do whatever you like but not at the cost of your academics. You will be spending the best days of your life in Amity University Rajasthan so my dearest ones make them really the best. It is you who can make your university great, be a proud student of this marvellous university. Once again welcome to AMITY.  Live it to the full ‘jo hoga dekha jaye ga’.... are Aryan bhul gaya kya kal rakhi hai ... are haan “Happy Rakhi” to all brothers and sisters...

Juniors and ME

“Good evening ma’am!!” For the people who are oblivious enough, this ain’t any scene of some classroom; this is what is happening in the campus from the past 2 weeks! Oh before anything else, a very warm welcome to the freshers from Bubble’s side…the coming years are surely going to include many twists and turns that will help you shape up your life for better…wait! Did I just go philosophical at that??!!

Ah, so getting back at this “wishing” business…it is this kind of a ritual here at the campus to wish our seniors whenever and wherever you see them and address them as “sir/Ma’am”! So for the juniors who find all this weird, well guys let me just tell you that this is exactly what most of us feel as sophomores! Looking at the scene around I am so reminded of my first year...those evening walks when we would go around wishing every senior we would see!! *nostalgic*.

I still vividly remember the times when we joined here and had this terror of seniors and ragging in our minds…it was a relief though when that fear turned out to be just something unreal; we could not have expected something better than what we got! So much did I wish my seniors back then that now even if I have become a ‘super senior’ and they ‘super duper seniors’ I still can’t help myself from calling them Ma’am/Sir! Silly enough but then as they say that old habits die hard. Oh and the first time that we became seniors, gosh that was absolutely crazy! My batch mates and friends would remember how many of us had this craze of becoming seniors and trying to boss around the campus, only to be pulled down by the ‘anti-ragging’ affidavit!! Haha…I should have clicked pictures of some my friends when they had that alarming expression on their faces!!

And now that our juniors are seniors themselves, just a little piece of advice (why is Bubble more like Aunt Marge type today?!!!): please do not try to practice your ‘senior’ rights in the wrong ways...it could just back-fire and put you into some deep trouble! Enjoy your time to the fullest because that’s what life expects us to do. As for the super senior and super-duper seniors…relax and enjoy the scenario is all that Aunt Marge a.k.a. Bubble can say ;)……..au revoir!!!

Poster Presentation  

Posted in

SUCHARITA BASU ROY

7th August, 2010: While speakers spoke in the concurrent sessions, there was also a poster presentation conducted. The aim of this Presentation was to create an atmosphere of positivity all around which it did with utmost conviction. The posters presented came in all possible sizes and colors and aptly depicted the principles of “Positive Psychology”. Few of them consisted of studies conducted on topics like “Mental Disorders in Students, Spiritual Intelligence among students, Dialectical Thinking and their practical use while there were others which contained brilliant quotations on psychology in vibrant colours. In a nutshell, the presentation proved to be highly informative and motivating.
