A Week Before Exams- A Spectacle in real sense!

ROSHNI PUNJABI
BJMC - 1st Year

I mean…. Of course this is a usual sight in all of the colleges and universities… but
as always…. it seemed something different in Amity. Being freshers, this sight was
new to us… just stepping into college life…. This scene made the otherwise tensed
atmosphere a bit amusing to our eyes…..
More than in the class… the students could be seen lined up outside the teachers’
cabins, for the submissions and vivas, while the outstanding ones…!!!... still
queued up outside the xerox shop to get the last minute journals and notes for a
rapid revision. Others were found running hither thither, behind the teachers, up
and down the floors of the ABS block.
The classroom scene was even more interesting. Someone shrieks… “Guys… is the
date-sheet out???” And bang on comes the reply…. “Who cares!!!!! Check out the 
debarr list!!”
The scenario doesn’t end here itself…..one group occupying one corner and
completing a certain assignment through combined efforts… while the others
busy in completing or copying their notes through mutual exchanges of their
pen drives….

But the best part was to watch the carefree ones….relaxed to the core…..listening
to their i- pods and mp3s …..or having a normal gossip in their groups,… it was
actually a bit confusing to accurately determine the reason for their such a serene
behavior…… Had they actually completed the course??? If yes…then how?????
:-l
Or was it the second option…. Were they even appearing for the exams???
Yaar… This exam time is seriously confusing….in a number of ways… The
desperation growing to all its heights and limits…..The Exam fever has actually
taken over the Amity Campus…..
With all this and much more exciting but haywire exam environment drawing in….
guys…its even time for me to go and catch up with my books….after all….. End-
Sems hain yaar!!! ;-)
So here’s me..Roshni Punjabi… signing off for the meantime and wishing all my
dear AMITIANS a great exam time…..All the Best Guys….. Njoyyyyyy……..

Exam times Rockkkkks

And so does AMITY…..

ALL THE BEST AMITIANS!!!!!!  CHAK DE!!!

Legal ’GOD’  

Posted in

With the warm and heartiest greetings of this breezy december, write hand this time brings certain well acquainted but unfamiliar thoughts to you all. After almost 60 years of struggle finally (expectantly) the beliefs of Indian people got a legal affirmation for their subsistence. A core committee of three people confides the candor of mythological traits sheltered by the Indian society.
Pessimistic thought process we do have but do we really mean it while going for an action! I guess the Ayodhya case can throw good light upon it. Country does not build of  just population but the beliefs they have, the hopes, the regrets, the dreams this all makes any country to be called as a nation. ‘Diversity but unity’ these two words are used to describe INDIA. Each and every member of Indian society has been taught to consider all the religious beliefs equally since childhood. We firmly say that we are rigid and honest follower of equality, so here I would present a simple query that while filing the case for the property right of  Ayodhya bhumi had our senses gone insane or paralyzed! Within a fraction of time we lost a long back constructed ideology! We become so careless regarding the most caring thing of humanity. Our soul might not allow us to accept our carelessness but we ourselves are the witness of our insanity. So the ultimate stride that can be mentioned here is to make a humble appeal to our dear god (including ishwar, allah, jesus, waheguru) to personally look into the matter and bestow his kind presence that could be registered by the law. And that can be further utilize to guide the next generation that their forefathers have already fought upon god’s place, and god now has a lawfully registered place to live and survive.  This would possibly make god to feel more secured and authentic, isn’t it! and searching for the god hither and thither should no more because every god would be having their own legally registered place. Every prayer would be paid under the prescribed sections of law. How amazing it would be!

Am I a Writer ??  

Posted in


The question kept splashing in my mind very eloquently… And even for a moment I believed ‘yes’ I am. But then something shook my convictions and I was dropped in an endless rambling thoughts!
What have I actually done to be called as a Writer?
Must I actually earn a living by writing to declare myself a writer? If that’s the case, then I am not a writer. Must win a contest? I have not done that also and really nothing that I would say, allows me to call myself a writer. Must I be published? I actually have not been published yet… not even for an extremely small time. Still, nothing to merit the title of “author” or a “write” in any case. Guess that was the reason I went out sight for so long.

Does writing a blog allow me to claim the title of writer? I do write often. But then again, anyone can start a blog and type random letters on it and push publish. Does readership of the blog make me a writer?

I don’t possess any particular skills, just a simplistic yet deep love for the written word. Not just words, but the conveyance of emotion in words. The types of words that make you laugh, cry, or really ponder long after you’ve read them.

I pick my pen or move my fingers on keyboard to express the deepest of me; indeed it unwinds my soul and rejuvenates me each time I write.

See, I’m obviously, not successful as often as I’d like. However, does that make me less of a writer? I think being a writer is what is felt in the heart. Somewhere deep in me there’s a spark which makes me believe so at times. And if indeed, that is the case, then I am a writer.

I sense the answer to my question “Am I a writer?” lies within my heart. And reader you know what, my heart always answers for all my baffling hitches... So, if you’ve pondered that question, I urge not to look any further than inside your heart.

After SANCHAAR Fever, now it’s EXAM FEVER

"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other."  Abraham Lincoln
 
Hey friends. How are you? It’s pretty long since we interacted. I am so sorry my dearest readers actually these days Aryan is too busy. Aryan was involved in the Rajasthan’s only media fest; yup you guessed it right SANCHAAR of Amity School of Communication. For Aryan and his peers’ SANCHAAR means a lot; after all we all are ASCoites rather Hard Time Journalists. Aryan wants to thank the guys and gals from the other courses who contributed to the success of SANCHAAR2010 but only thanks is not enough for their dedication and the unintentional support. Aryan ki bhasha mein bole to ‘Hats off’ friends.
“There might be difference in our thinking but when it’s time to action we are one”; the status on the Aryan’s fB wall a day before SANCHAAR 2010. Almost all of the Aryan’s friends liked the status but a comment from a worthy friend ‘to whom are you referring – ASCo or…?’ confused Aryan. What does this comment mean? What do these three dots (…) mean? Baffled Aryan when posed the same question to the guy personally; the smart and intelligent reply ‘are yaar ASCo or AMITY’ came that too with a laughing tone. This irritated Aryan too much hence ended up in a shallow trifle. No no nothing serious, all is well. But what is difference between AMITY and ASCo? ASCo is only the part of it like other courses. ASCoites are Amitian first. Chalo koi nahi hota hai…. everything is ok…
Now, SANCHAAR 2010 is over and the stage for end semester exams is all set to rock AMITY from 13th of December. The examinations are not real test of one’s caliber but one of the way to judge your learning skills. So my dearest and beloved fellow Amitians    ‘get set go’ bole to phod do. Aryan wishes all his fellow Amitians ‘ALL THE BEST’ for the end semester exams. May you all shine like the brightest star of the universe and make us all proud to be AMITIANS - WE NURTURE TALENT. So till then take care Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte…
CHEERS HABEEBI!!!
