  • Lesson from an Imaginative friend

    “The most depressing feeling on a Campus like IIT Madras’ is to feel alone – to feel like no one cares about you, or whether you live, die, or run circles in the sky.” This was something that an ‘anonymous’ had mentioned in one of the previous articles of this magazine, and it drew my…

  • It’s okay not to be Okay

    To blame policies is easier than accepting things yourself, however. Even though it absolutely sucks, I think we need to take care of ourselves and our close ones. It is easy to let all the rush take you over, but what I have learned from the short time I have been here is that the…

  • A Night With the Harmonies of the Indian Choral Ensemble

    Acapella requires tremendous effort and coordination to deliver a piece of arrangement and doing it live in a beautiful auditorium for an audience of 500 is nothing short of a wonder. This was made possible by the Indian Choral Ensemble, an acapella troop of 40 led by Kalyani Nair and Karthick Manickavasakam at the Museum…

  • A Misfit!!!

    Being an IITian myself for more than a year now, however, I feel discomfort in labeling myself an IITian. This is not because of my general aversion to labels and labeling myself. The discomfort, or the sense of being a misfit emanates from the repetitive interactions, anecdotes and general observations of mysurroundings on the campus.

  • Welcome to Wonderland (Not Really)

    ,

    Hostels are also spaces that make you feel full of life and lonely at the same time. You get to know people while waiting for your laundry to finish or in the lift because they are humming a song you love. These are friendships that do  not make sense out of context and you both…

    — Adithya Beera It’s apparent that we humans are becoming more progressive by the day. Increasingly, people believe that no one should be discriminated against based on color, race, gender and the like.

    — Nischitha G Dhruv was standing right there for an hour. It was late at night around 9o’clock. It had been raining since noon that day.

  • An Ode to Expired Friendships

    ,

    — Devika Dinesh I’d read somewhere a long time ago that one’s twenties is characterized by the turbulent nature of one’s friendships. Essentially the notion that, ‘people come and go’.

  • The need to escape

    ,

    — Khushi M P  I wake up, I check my phone. I have a break between classes, most of the time, I’m checking my phone. When I eat, my phone is often in front of me. I postpone sleeping by checking my phone. When I have free time, I barely have anything to do that…
