GREETINGS TO ALL OF YOU!

Blessed with a vision and an untrammeled thirst to nurture the


society, the great philanthropists of Shri Vile Parle Kelvani Mandal
founded Narsee Monjee College of Commerce & Economics in 1964.

One of the premier and oldest colleges in the region, the institution has catalyzed the scenario of
education since then by imparting quality education. Apart from the staple and mainstream courses
in Commerce, the institution offers various job oriented courses like B. Com Hons , B.Sc. IT and a
bouquet of certificate programmes like Content Marketing to give learners an edge over others in
the job market by chiseling their communication, technical and other soft skills.

Narsee Monjee College has always had a reputation of being the most sought after college globally.
My staunch faith and conviction is that our students would carve a niche in their career and life by
going in lineage and heritage through this temple of learning.

I am glad that the various co-curricular activities that NM provides will sharpen your personality,
managerial and interpersonal skills. I am also particularly glad that you students are also encouraged
to engage in social out- reach activities especially like NSS Camp in rural areas which will sensitize
you to realities of lives of different sections of the society in our country.

All this has been possible only due to the dedication and commitment of the Teaching Faculty guided
at every level by an enthusiastic Principal and all the support staff of the college. I wish you all the
best for achieving greater success and scaling new heights in your education and career ahead.

With its newly adorned crown of Autonomous status, I am sure that NM College will leave no stone
unturned to build a vibrant and inclusive learning community in a culture of excellence sustained by
a sound value system that promotes responsible citizenship and effects social change.

My good and warm wishes to all the new entrants to our NM PARIVAR.

Shri. Amrish .R. Patel

Amidst the ongoing pandemic, Umang with a resilient spirit and a workforce of 100 students was
charged and prepared to soar to new heights like never before. Umang believed in ‘Conquering
Obstacles and Creating Opportunities’ and with utmost faith and passion set out to conduct the
entire cultural festival along with all its events virtually. Thus, aptly naming the theme this year: ‘A
Digital Paradigm’.

In the history of Umang, this was the first time the entire experience would be completely digital.
Umang was held from 1st - 4th November and brought in memories to last a lifetime and filled our
hearts with excitement. From the events to the workshops, from speaker sessions to ProNites, the
fest had a trunkload of learning and experience in store for everyone. There were 35 cultural events
organized, where more than 90 colleges participated which was only made possible by the team
effort of all the departments.
Nonetheless, the team of Umang did not let the online aspect of the festival hinder the exuberance
and experience that the festival had to offer.

PRE ON DAYS:

Umang Pre Festival X ATKT


Umang along with ATKT put forward events spread over a timeline of 2 days, each more exciting
than the previous. There were 5 events in the fields of Drama, Dance, Music, and Poetry. This all was
made possible with PAYTM Insider’s platform on which the events were held virtually. With 1450
tickets booked and 2260 viewers across 5 events, they proved to be a huge success. Reaching for
Moo-re, Umang received over 700 entries for pre-elimination from all over the country. ATKT
Campus League introduced an engaging concept of ‘audience voting’ which made these events a
quintessential college festival starter-pack and has undoubtedly excited everyone for all the

About Arthashastra:
Arthashastra is the financial markets festival of N.M. College. It was started in the year 2020 by a
group of students who believed that the festivals that were based on the intricacies of financial
markets that existed in the college circuit were few and far between. The festival strives to bridge
academics with actual financial intelligence by bringing out the best for the attendees through its
gamut of events. This year, Arthashastra was held from 12th-14th of March 2021.

Pre-Events:
Artha Talks: Artha Talks was focused on bringing together bright minds from the financial arena
to have conversations that were idea-focused, and on a wide range of subjects, to foster learning
and inspiration. It included 5 interactive sessions where we hosted Ms. Sonia Shenoy, Senior
Editor at CNBC TV18 among other notable speakers. 3 webinars were also conducted as a part of
the initiative.
As a part of our social initiative, we volunteered for Zomato Feeding India and helped distribute
750 meals at Dharavi & at Aarey Colony.
Cycles: Participants tried their hands at portfolio management while navigating the markets and
business cycles at large and also tested their understanding with the best onboard: Akshay Batra,
Portfolio Manager at Aditya Birla Finance Ltd, and Chetan Palta, Investment Consultant at Aditya
Birla Capital Wealth.

Report:

Arithmós : A Cognitive Expedition - the annual intercollegiate Mathematics and Statistics Festival of
N.M. College, was conceived with the objective of removing the humdrum blocks existing in the
mindset of students by approaching mathematics and statistics in its purest form- in the real world
by focusing on their practical aspects in day-to-day life.

Arithmós aims to bridge the gap between mathematics as a subject and mathematics as a way of life.
By combining hidden mathematical concepts with everyday life, Arithmós is more than just a
mathematics fest. It is a coming together of aptitude, reasoning, logic, management and
strategy.Being in the second year of its existence in 2020-21 team Arithmós put together a stellar
performance by organizing a highly successful pan-India festival and setting high standards for the
future.

1605 participants, 94 colleges, 10 events, 5 workshops, 4 days!


Arithmós 2020-21 was conducted on online platforms and consisted of events which tested the
cognitive and analytical skills of participants. We organized a wide array of events ranging from
themes like election strategy, treasure hunt, code-breaking, supply chain management, board game
strategy, sports strategy, neuromarketing, etc. All these events brought the competitive spirit of the
participants to the fore and got them engaged with a wide spectrum of rounds which put to test
skills like logical and analytical rigour, on-the-spot thinking, quantitative aptitude, presentation
skills, out of the box thinking, decision making, spontaneity and general strategy.

Along with planning and executing quality events, we at Arithmós firmly believe in the continuous
development and enhancement of the human mind in diverse skillsets and rapidly growing market
trends. In line with this belief, we also organized 5 highly insightful workshops covering a myriad of
modern world topics which opened the doors of innovation and provided an impetus to the
knowledge, awareness and skillsets of the attendees.

Aim of the Research Committee:


The main aim is to publish the research papers in Envisage Journal. It helps in PG
admissions and placements.
To inculcate research culture in students.
Sometimes, even a very fluent, well-written article doesn't land a publisher. Through
Research Park, we provide this opportunity to the students.
To throw out the stigma of research being boring and only for work.

Opening Ceremony:
On 24th November, starting at 4:00 pm, honourable Principal sir addressed the team in the
Opening Ceremony, speaking a few words. He inspired us with his knowledge and compassion.
Later, the teachers supported the festival with full zeal and enthusiasm. It marked the formal
opening of the Research Committee, which would go on to avoid events throughout the year.

Research Paper Writing Workshop:


The Research Paper Writing Workshop was conducted on 22nd January, 2021.
The purpose of conducting this workshop was to create awareness among people
regarding its importance and also teach them the nuances of writing a research paper.
The event started with introducing Dr. Vinita Pimpale, a doctor of philosophy, who then
proceeded further by explaining the weightage a research paper carries.

This was later followed by her teaching the attendees the process of writing a research paper,
right from scratch. Thereafter, the session was concluded with some final insights into
research paper writing.

Primary Data Collection Workshop:


On the day of February 20th, NM college had Dr. Meena Vazirani conduct an informative
session on Primary Data Collection.
She started the session with the basic definition so the students have the base to build up
on. She further went on to describe the various information they have to sift through and
decide the best material for data collection. She then marvellously explained various other
topics like the purpose and methods of data collection, characteristics of a good
questionnaire and requirements of a questionnaire.

She proceeded to make this all fun for the students by conducting a small exercise to make
them understand data collection better. After an insightful discussion, the floor was open for
questions from the participants, after discussing and giving a very in-depth answer to every
question, the session was called to end.

Research Park Festival:


The event started with the team gathering the Principal's blessings. Sir spoke some really
wonderful, insightful, and encouraging words that boosted the team and the participants.
Principal sir spoke about the importance of research in today's intellectual and technology-
led world. He gave the go-ahead or the green light to begin the celebration of research.
The participants had already been trained in the nitty-gritty of research paper writing by the
Research Committee. We had conducted several relevant workshops about deciding the
research topic, the importance of research for a strong CV, where to collect the relevant data
from for the paper, and basically how to go about writing it.

Each participant was being mentored by a teacher for some time now, to help them brush up
on their skills and present the perfect paper. This ensured that there were negligible mistakes
in the data and the writing.
Then, one by one, the participants presented their papers in front of everyone and received
appreciation.

Learnings:
The team and the participants listened to and learned loads of information about a realm of
topics that were chosen like finance, technology, humanity, and education.
We learnt the importance of knowledge. These days, people go so much after practical
skills and experience that they are forgetting the importance of the theory behind it.
The participants climbed one step up in the ladder of their career by successfully writing,
presenting, and getting their research paper published.

showcasing the winners of events conducted by the team and their work, a tech corner that focuses

provided with a kit consisting of rice, flour, sugar, salt, spices, soaps, onions, potatoes, garlic, etc. The
village schools lacked the basic necessary resources required for a child’s education and hence the
team donated stationery kits to 250 children of the village. Each stationery kit consisted of
notebooks, pencils, pens, an eraser, and a sharpener. These kits were made by the 30 students who
were a part of the project. The efforts of the team were appreciated by the beneficiaries as well as
the Sarpanch of the village. The project was our way of giving back to society during these hard
times.

Committee Caption:

If I could do my year all over again, there’s nothing that I’d change. Because all that has happened has
brought us here and I’m nothing but grateful for it. None of us thought we could pull this off, but we
did. During situations like this, we remind ourselves of the human that we are. Enactus makes us
remember that, tells us that if we can do our best, our beneficiaries can have sustainable
employment. So here’s taking a minute to revisit all our events, our projects, social media initiatives,
national competition and marketing orders. These are the reasons why our year has been wholesome
and impactful.

Report:
Project Marigold
“Marigolds for our women with a heart of gold”
Marigolds are said to be the best flowers to grow around other plants in a garden, because they're
the ones that help the plants around you to grow faster, and stronger.
When the team sat down to decide the name that justifies our project, it had to be this.

manner, in a given time frame.
This was followed by a perceptive session called ‘Life of a Writer’ by Mr. Puneet Krishna. The

participants a new perspective on how a writer’s life roles.
Then, ‘Who Sold It?’ commenced, where the pre-registered participants had prepared
advertisements from the categories of products and dynamics provided to them by Illusion
members beforehand. These advertisements introducing the products were then played and
later the participant was given five minutes to explain the product and pitch the idea.
On the last day, April 8th, of Illusion, the first event was ‘Mind in the Middle: Managing the
Homo Sapiens’ where we had the honourable Dr. Harish Shetty, a leading psychiatrist, who
delivered a speech on EQ and its significance in today’s time.

importance of volunteering and making an impact in not only somebody else’s but also your own
life.
For the last event, Illusion ended with a huge banger, with an open mic, ‘Kuch Baatein Ankahee
Si’. It was a moulded safe space for anyone and everyone to express their thoughts through any
kind of art, poems, write-ups, short stories, shayaris, etc.
It created a vibe of creativity, content and most of all liberation and Illusion- ‘Let’s Unpause’
couldn’t have ended on a better note than this.

Social Media Activities/Strategies:

To increase our social media presence, we kickstarted a series of write-ups called 'Two
Universes' where two universally loved characters from different series/novels/movies etc are
paired to make an alternate story.
Every Wednesday, an onerous word was posted on our social media handle along with its
meaning to introduce our audience to a litany of new words.

Every Saturday, short reviews based on underrated, lesser known authors are put out to engage
students in a variety of striking content they haven't come across yet.
We also encourage our members to explore their creative side by publishing their engrossing
write-ups.
Promotion for all our events was done on our social media handles days prior to the main event,
including Illusion'21.

Outcome:

We learnt how to pitch our thoughts and give voice to our creativity.
We learnt the power of self-expression in this lonely, distant and ignorant world.
Throughout the year, we learnt the importance of reading books, and did our best to conduct
events revolving around that.

An interactive talk on ‘Teenage Mental Health’, September 10th 2020:

The Conscious Citizens’ Club of N.M. College organized a speaker session on account of
World Suicide Prevention Day highlighting the importance of mental health amidst a
pandemic. Ms.Neha Patel, a psychologist and psychotherapist and director at Sharnam-
therapy and healing, along with Mr. Raj Mehta, her colleague, were invited to provide an
insight about the various issues that teenagers face in the pandemic due to the lack of social
interaction, the anxiety of the future and the coping with the new “normal” consisting of a lot
more screen time than usual. The speakers addressed these issues and provided professional
advice.

They addressed issues like bullying, dysfunctional families, anxiety and so on. The students
were intrigued and were soon asking questions, to which the speakers eagerly answered. The
session was interactive and insightful and enlightened the students on the importance of
mental health and its impact on everyday life. The event was a success.

CLICKS FOR CONSERVATION

The threat of Covid-19 hangs over our heads like the sword of Damocles. Considering the
situation around us, for the first time in history anything like this has happened. But this didn’t
stop our club from excelling and rocked it with its first online event. The Wildlife and Nature
Club’s (Jr.) event Clicks For Conservation - A Wildlife Photography Competition was held on
30th September, 2020 from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm , on Microsoft Teams .

The motto of this event was to spread awareness that wildlife and nature is something that is
not to be encapsulated by cages but to be captured by camera, whose beauty can be
mesmerized throughout. We had a great inflow of participants for the event. We were also
graced by the presence of our Vice Principal and Teachers, who actively participated in our
event. The participants showed their enthusiasm by actively participating and expressing their
perspective towards nature and the photographs clicked by them.

The event served as a platform for participants to showcase their photography skills and
express their way of seeing nature. All the participants had to send their clicks of wildlife and
nature as their entries prior to the event and were to speak on their photograph, explaining
the meaning and value it held, and what the photograph tried to communicate. The event
initially began with screen sharing of the photographs clicked by the participants and then
letting them describe their ideology of the photograph. There were two winners of the event
who were exuberant in proving their expertise in photography and communications. The
event was an overall success and the participants along with the audience had a lot of fun
being a part of it.

PIXELS FROM THE WILD

The Wildlife and Nature Club’s (Jr). event, "Pixels from the Wild"- A Wildlife Photography
Workshop, with our guest of honour Mr. Mayuresh Hendre was conducted on 22nd January
from 5:00 p.m to 6:30 p.m. on Microsoft Teams. The concept behind this event was to help
aspiring photographers to get some guidance from the best, Mr Mayuresh Hendre, who is an
award-winning Naturalist and Wildlife Photographer and has been published by Sanctuary
Asia, Nature in Focus, and Lonely Planet India on their digital and print platforms along with
winning 2nd prize in a national level photography contest in 2019. He helped the participants
open up the vast doors of knowledge to wildlife photography with his eloquent speaking.

After the success of our first event we were ready to shine with our second event and it
didn’t set us back but lead to increase in participation. Mr. Mayuresh Hendre started the
event by showing us two of his mesmerizing documentaries. The documentaries left us
awestruck and we couldn't help but admire the beautiful nature at its best. Then he went on
to demonstrate the basics of wildlife photography with a PowerPoint presentation he had
graciously prepared. Later we had a fun interactive question and answer session in which
many of our teachers interacted with him in the question and answer round. The event went
on really smoothly and we were left with an emphatic feeling. The success of the event left a
smile on our faces. In the end, the audience was left with one thought about how beauty lies
in the eyes of the beholder and how one can show the true beauty of nature in its natural
form. Each and every participant enjoyed this blend of fun yet educational workshop and had
an overwhelming experience.

Saying that the coronavirus pandemic has been overwhelming is an understatement. It has
taken an undeniable toll on everyone, most of all, the students. With the thought of bringing a
smile to everyone’s faces and a spark of fun in their life, the French Association kicked off a
flurry of online events in the college for the academic year 2020-2021 with its first event on
Bastille Day, ‘La chasse française’. Literally, meaning ‘The French Hunt’, the event in essence
was a scavenger hunt wherein participants were required to search for things one finds around
the house. The hunt came down to a tie which was broken by a task where the competitors had
to send a quirky selfie to the event coordinator.

In between the two events, the committee also carried out the recruitment drive for the
incoming students. They received a staggering response, with almost 150 students applying.
The applicants went through a rigorous and intensive screening process. Boiling down 150
students to ten final candidates was no small feat, but the committee members burned the
midnight oil and did it nonetheless.

The first and only event that the outgoing team was able to organize with the new recruits was
a quiz. ‘La gastronomie française’ was a brain-racking quiz on the knowledge of the
inexhaustible French cuisine. Famed for its haute cuisine, the information to be tested was
extensive, from finding the incorrect ingredients to guessing colloquial names of the dishes. So,
the team divided the quiz into several rounds. In the first round, competitors were required to
answer as many questions as possible in under thirty seconds, followed by a rapid-fire round,
where points were allotted to whoever answered first correctly. The quiz culminated with a
final round of questions for each participant. Participants securing the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place
were awarded certificates, gift vouchers and a gift hamper of baked goodies.

On the whole, despite the online interface restricting their ability to organize events, the
French Association did not fail in making the best of what they had.

Product-O-Nomics was the first event of the Economics Association Jr. for the year 2020-21. It
was based on the theme, “the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the
world, are the ones who do”. In this world of problem creators, Product-O-Nomics aimed at
creating problem solvers.The participants had to register in teams of 2. It was a multi-tiered
event consisting of 3 rounds.

Round 1 was an elimination trivia based on general economics knowledge and current affairs.
The top 10 teams made it to the next round which was a logo quiz which required quick
thinking and of course, fast typing skills. Finally, the top 5 teams qualified for the last round
which was a product development and selling round.

In the final round, the teams were given some of the most basic, yet common issues faced by
everyone on a day to day basis. The participants had to select one of these problems and were
required to create a product to effectively overcome these problems and come up with
effective solutions. They also had to market their product with a good tagline explaining its
main features.

The objective of this event was to give the participants a chance to present their ideas and be a
creator, an innovator, a disruptor and an adventurer. It inspired them to think like a true
entrepreneur and be a game changer.

Event Name: Unscammed
Event Date: 29th January, 2021.
‘Unscammed’ was a multi-tiered event organised by the Economics Association Jr.. It focused
on the recent scams and frauds which have occurred in our country. The participants had to
use their willingness, determination and presence of mind, along with knowledge of past and
present to unmask the true scamster.

This event was essentially divided into 2 rounds, first being the preliminary quiz round tested
the overall knowledge with respect to recent scams and their specifics. The second round was
a scam uncovering and investigating round. Top 3 teams from the preliminary round qualified
for the second round. In this round the participants needed to uncover scams of various types
and difficulty levels.

In the first level the participants had to put on their investigative hats and solve a cyber scam
by figuring out the corrupt source in an email. The difficulty level escalated in the further two
levels where the participants were provided with heterogeneous, complex and jumbled data
pertaining to different financial scams. The participants needed to present the data in a
chronological order (essentially in a format of a timeline) to summarise the scam and identify
the culprits from the source and data provided. Their scam uncovering ability was tested with
the help of three scams of varying difficulty.

Following data was provided as reference material:


Level 1 (Cyber scam): Biodata, Emails and call logs of hypothetical victims of the scam.
Level 2 and 3 (Financial Scam): Complex News Reports on Stock Manipulation and money
laundering.
We were overwhelmed to see the active participation and enthusiasm shown by the
participants as they used Harshad Mehta’s brain and Chanakya’s neeti to uncover the frauds.
The aim of this event was to test the participants’ sense of alertness and awareness and their
financial knowledge. It demonstrated their investigative streak and confidence while dealing
with high end economic jargons.

ENGLISH SECTION

THE LINE NOT DRAWN

Drawing a line is the first thing that a child learns after he holds a pencil. It appears that
drawing the line is probably the easiest thing to learn and to do. But merely drawing it on
paper is not enough. One also needs to learn the importance of drawing it in our day to day
life. By this, I mean to say that humanity needs to be abstemious in its whims and fancies.
There should be a limit or a boundary to whatever we do because morally unrestrained actions
can only culminate into a catastrophe.

Why is mankind forgetting to draw the line? Why is no one understanding the gravity of the
problem?

Humans have gone too far to achieve their materialistic targets. We have barged into almost
every area which does not even belong to us. So much so that we have displaced and misused
every other species’ area, be it nature, animals, birds, or marine life. Our atomic bombs have
created perpetual repercussions, so have the gas leaks from nuclear plants. We, in our greed to
expand and progress, have forgotten how abundantly we are blessed by the Almighty. We are
perhaps the only species that is on a mission to destroy our own planet. In the name of
progress and development, we have invaded and annihilated almost all natural habitats,
resources and disturbed every living being on earth.

Why is it getting so difficult to coexist? Why do we not understand that we have no other
planet to go to? Everything is designed by God in such a beautiful way to support life. Then
why are we destroying the set-up?

It is time that we learn our lessons. We have spread stygian darkness for our future
generations. However, we just need one thing to get ourselves out of the pit in which we have
fallen. And that is the determination to do something good for our planet and to know our
boundaries.

There is no calamity greater than lavish desires. There is no disaster greater than greed. If we
don’t stop today then we would be forced to stop by the omnipotent nature through natural
apocalypses and that will be the greatest pain which mankind will not be able to endure.
Thus, we should start acting immediately and “Draw the Line” which has been missing since
centuries. I urge mankind to draw the line and bring in the sunshine.

Evolution or Toxicity?

We often blame the increasing pollution in our surroundings for our ill health and
compromised well-being, but we often neglect the toxicity in our society emerging within our
brethren leading to our dwindling health and growing mental imbalance. The society as a whole
has been shrouded in darkness in the form of interpersonal judgement transforming our joy
into a rather sorrowful and dilemmatic age of everlasting melancholy.

This darkness which keeps increasing rapidly with every passing day, is whitewashed and
ignored in the name of development and an era- based transitioning. Our generation absolutely
loves to dwell in the hollowness of frivolous social life, so much so that the things which seem
the most imperative are often ignored.

The family, our responsibilities, regardless of gender, are questioned upon by our youth so
regularly now that although, we have become relatively literate, we now use this double-edged
sword to cut the past more often, than to slash our way into mental and social progress in the
present as well as in future.

The human mind is bound to question certain absurdities brought about by our ancestors, and
in all honesty, this is completely justified. However, after a point the entire maxim of progress
is to question our beliefs only to find a solution rather than rebelling against them to prove our
current progress which is merely relative.

The day we understand this basic principle and respect our society without being indifferent
about our responsibilities, while finding a meaningful realm of mindfulness rather than dwelling
in the frivolity of social life just to understand the real meaning of happiness and peace in
society, a new horizon of possibilities will emerge.

We often believe that ignoring this toxicity is the best way to keep our mental balance intact,
but when has ignoring a problem ever been an optimum solution?

We need to stand up together to make it clear in our minds and in our societies that judgement
and hate is not the way to establish dominance around. Remember, a true leader always carries
all his brethren together without any indifference, while a dictator holds rules over society
while ordering his dominance and authority just to prove his worth to himself, so he alone can
sleep peacefully.

The Three Warnings

This write-up is of paramount importance for people adoring history. Without a doubt, India
has a rich culture and an amazing history. There are some events in the past, which are so
insightful that even after years, they stand to be relevant and path-breaking. I want to discuss
one such incident- the 3 warnings by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.

On 25th November 1949, Ambedkar gave a speech in the House, summing up the work done by
him and the Drafting Committee. He gave a short speech on the Constitution and some of its
striking features. But, at the tail-end of his speech, he gave 3 warnings about the future.

Warning-1: Satyagraha
I know what you might be thinking right now- that how can a concept which helped us gain
independence be a threat for our future? In the opinion of Ambedkar, activities like civil
disobedience, Satyagraha and non-cooperation should be abandoned for the benefit of all. The
reason for the same is that such acts are justifiable to a certain extent in an autocratic set-up
but not under democracy.
Do you agree with this? Should popular protests be considered as threat to the nation?

Warning-2: Political Democracy


Democracy is a concept which promotes equality and liberty. Through the drafting of
constitution, politics has surely been democratized. But keeping aside political angle, are we
really democratic in the true sense? In voting, vote of man and woman are equal, but does all
strata of our society mean this? Is there equality in our social status? Thus, Ambedkar warned
us about not ending up being democratic only from political stand-point!
Should we strive for democracy in all facets of life?

Warning-3: Blind Faith and Submission to Autocracy


India believes in bhakti, i.e., devotion and surrender to Almighty to achieve salvation. But this
should not be the approach of an Indian towards politics. The logic of Bhakti might be correct
from religious point of view, but it can be devastating from the political lens. Such attitude
results in dictatorship. There should not be unthinking submission to charismatic authority.
Even if a man is great, his greatness should not be a justification for blind devotion.
Are you surrounded by people who blindly follow a political figure without having his research
done?
In conclusion, I just have two emotions. Praise and Regret.
Praise for Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, because the honesty in the insights he shared were
extremely accurate.
Regret for not inculcating and learning from his speech. Only if someone had taken this speech
seriously, India would have not been stuck in the same problems which were predicted 71 years
ago.

FEAR- A PAPER TIGER

Sometimes life puts you in an uncomfortable position, in a place where you feel you are not
ready to be in, not strong enough to handle, not emotionally prepared to work with. It pushes
you beyond the limits that you had placed for yourself. Life puts you in circumstances that you
feel unprepared for - and the reality is, no matter how long you wait, there are some
circumstances that you never can be prepared for. There are some phases that you simply
need to be pushed towards in order to mature and grow. Sometimes, you simply find yourself
having to taste the bitterness of difficulty in order to gain the knowledge that your soul truly
needs. In life, you will find yourself being pushed out of your comfort zone, tested against your
own boundaries, and learning - sometimes through blessings and other times through lessons.
Sometimes, to learn the best lessons and mature in the best way you must be willing to accept
the uncomfortable position life puts you in.
Remember the times when we were young? How reckless and unbothered we used to be! It did
not matter what people thought of us. We were the “we” , we loved and wanted to be.
Somebody's opinion of us would never affect us. We did what we liked and asked for what we
wanted without overthinking. We were full of innocence. We possessed a nonchalant aura.
Above all, we were FEARLESS, and this boldness was expressive. Things that we were most
afraid of doing or were refrained from doing; was the first thing we would do. Oh, but then we
grew up!
We were exposed to the whims and fancies of the outside world along with the dark parts of it.
Now that we are older, we bear grudges so quickly, get frustrated, want to take hold of those
things that are way beyond our control, we give up easily and predominantly we are scared!
Scared of failure, scared of judgements, of social pressure, of missing out, of taking new steps,
of starting new beginnings, of trusting new people. In a nutshell we are now scared of risking
it, because of the mere thought of an erratic outcome. We dread taking a chance because we
don’t have the strength to go through pain. The “what if's” crawl in here. "What if everything
goes wrong", "What if I lose all I have"?
My point here is, just because you lose once, you wouldn’t dare to give yourself a second
chance, give another try to your endeavour? For once train your mind, put in the efforts, take
the risk, and give in your all. Of course, it’s natural to fear the unknown, but if you don’t even
try, is it even worth living? Our life revolves around risks. When you let even the slightest of
fear take control of your actions and decisions, you might as well in turn, end up risking ‘losing
a golden opportunity’. All those decisions you are scared to take, take them now; all those
things you want to say, but you have just been rehearsing it in your head, waiting for the right
time; say it now. Better late than never. Accept the odds, don’t let a negative aftermath
discourage you. I'm not saying everything will always turn out to be perfect. Perfection is an
illusion. There'll be problems that come without a solution manual, but stay positive in the 50-
50 probability of the happening of an event and dare to risk it.
Problems come as a blessing in disguise. They help you grow. Don't let obstacles defeat you.
Make new discoveries, enhance yourself, explore yourself, and work on yourself. Everything
happens for a reason. Stay positive and strong always!
The Covid-19 Pandemic has changed us to a great extent. It engaged us in finding something
unique within ourselves and in the world. No matter how difficult and painful these times have
been, it has taught us a lot, it made us really go and grow through hardships. We've all come
out immensely stronger. Try to look at the bright side of things. Nothing lasts forever, these
tough times will come to an end soon.

Expectation is the root cause of disappointment

Ever thought about an instance when you had expected a good outcome from a work you
performed diligently, but rather got a negative one? It must have disappointed you to the core,
so much that you started doubting your skills and confidence.
Some would say they had humongous expectations and hence they had a tough fall. Maybe,
they are right. Maybe, not. The reason for our disappointment is not the outcome, but our own
expectations. In any given work, you have three possibilities; either you will meet your
expectations at par or you will over achieve or else you will under achieve. We find the latter
one the toughest to handle. So how could one not get disappointed by an unfavourable
outcome of the work?
It is simple. One just needs to focus upon the means and the ways to achieve the desired
outcome, rather than actually focusing upon the outcome. It is absolutely fine to have a
benchmark which guides you through your journey. But, what you have under control is not
the fruit, but only the efforts.
When you are satisfied with the degree of efforts you have put in, you will never lose your
confidence or doubt your competence, no matter what the outcome is.

Love for Travelling

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”
Travelling is a part of life. It is a necessity to escape the monotonous routine back at home. It is
when we truly find our inner soul. The biggest advantage of travelling is that one gets an
experience to interact with locals out there. The locals love to hear foreigners babble in their
language.
We get to experience the natural beauty and the cultural heritage of that particular place.
One can wax their knowledge by travelling. We can know about their [place’s] cuisines and
what not! You experience both, good and bad, when you are travelling. These experiences help
us to mould ourselves into adaptable human beings. Let me tell you why I love travelling. I love
the excitement of it all- feeling like a wanderer, discovering new land, a new language, new
currency, new people, and new adventures! Being impulsive and optimistic for nearly
everything is the fun part!
The adrenaline rush of travelling excites me. Travelling broadens your mind in so many
ways. You meet new people, share your experiences, rather than being caught up in the
repetitive routine at home. We get to see how the world lives. I am not there to complain about
how it is ‘different than back home’, but rather to embrace and accept these changes! I like
landing in a new place, and then trying to figure it out- How to speak the language? How to
manage my meals? How to pack my luggage perfectly so, I do not pack it for the 23rd time!
Well, I do not like this mundane task but it is better than staying back home!
I love the simplicity of it all. Buying souvenirs act as memories of that place in future!
Meeting new people, expressing views on certain aspects with others moulds us into better
individuals. Hence, it is rightly said -
“Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”

A PERFECT START TO A PERFECT DAY

Do you hit the snooze button on your alarm planning to wait for another few minutes before
waking up? Does panic then set in that you will get late? Well, for thousands of people, it is the
normal start to the day. Everyone desires to have more energy, productivity, better attitude,
clearer thoughts but doesn’t have a clear answer about how to achieve it.
What you cultivate in the morning will influence the way you think, feel and act. The tone of
the morning will set the tone for the rest of the day. Call your alarm clock an opportunity clock
and wake up to the amazing day in front of you. Detach yourself from technology for the first
hour of the day and begin your day with awareness and a positive focus. Kick-start your
morning by practicing gratitude and take a few minutes to smile. Drink a glass of lemon water,
eat a healthy breakfast and get moving. Clear your mental chatter by writing down a to-do list
in the order of priority. And spend half an hour doing something you love.
The perfect start will keep you motivated and mentally and physically ready to tackle all the
challenges!!

Lost in the city – Mumbai

Hands stink of rusted poles


Bodies smell with sweat that rolls
Down the body in my clothes
The day was long
And now the night just crawled
Into the hall of my small adobe
It's so aphotic, it's so cold
I at last am all alone
Thousand faces I come across
Many unknown still we travel along
I am in love with this life of yours
You've won against time in this war
City of dreams, nightmare for many
You are the city of different little wars
But still at the end when home alone
Drenched in sweat,
Stinking like rusted poles
After traveling in those trains of yours
When it's aphotic and so cold
Night seems so angelic away from all
The noises and million faces I come across
I guess now I'm truly lost
In those million faces I come across
Effortlessly efficiently losing myself
In the mess of yours
I am lost in you, Mumbai Rishabh Naredi

Moon-child.

My heart is an island,
Inside this castaway.
Encircled by the blue,
I desire to cruise someday.

Abandoned on this far off shore,


I plan for my getaway.
Made a beeline for the Bay of Love,
Where quiet, clear waters stay.

My heart is only an island,


So out of sight,
Past the blue horizon,
I live from day to day.

Abandoned on this desert shore,


I plan for my break.
Gone to the Sea of Change,
Where love is made.

My heart is only an island,


Where nobody else can see,
The dejection, I should admit,
That conceals where it counts in me.

To be kissed by moonlight,
Furthermore, stroked by stars,
Hung in obscured blue,
Moving from Jupiter to Mars.

To be found by the light of the moon,


Furthermore, cherished under a darkened sky.
Allow the sun to disregard me;
It never heard me cry.

Since there's an exceptional thing about moonlight,


Like it was made only for me,
Since regardless of how awful things are,
I have the moon waiting for me.

Introspection?

As this ray marches down the window


Such mayhem in the dust it frees,
You can either ponder upon it as the way of life or
just let the granule disappear
Light just doesn't seem to illuminate some dreams;
As this ray marches down the window
Smash this hand into the naked
warmth that focuses on not just the sacred,
Dust just seems to never settle
Why not introspect this into our dreams ?
As this ray marches down the window
Someone just dropped the curtains
Halted the march like anything!
Smashing the head from back they say,
"Study, you idiot , daydreaming isn't the way."

PALACE OF ILLUSIONS Danesh Vora


TYBCOM A119
There's this palace full of illusions
Similar to our world with pouring out delusions
Mirrors like pines in forests dense
Each time I move ahead
Either I fall or stumble ahead of fence
There are glasses transparent
An ideal universe could be seen through
Glitter and shine filling the sky
But were they full of tears or smiles?
Hands reaching out to fragile dreams
Hoping to see people beam
Unfading frost covering the petals
Winter was just a season- one day the snow shall settle
Fate staring right into my eyes
As I blink only to realise
The glass which I was planning to crash
Was also just mirage
Even the gliding waters won't excite me now
Still, I'm trapped in this palace
Which I claimed to be- full of illusions
Slowly as I row my canopy in this cage
I wish if this wasn't the reality
I wish that people weren't so delusional

True Freedom

Independent we dwell in a democratic nation


“But is it true freedom?” rises a question.

Do we stand with truth and show our bravery?


Are we out from corruption’s slavery?
Is every rupee rightly earned?
For environment and world are we concerned?
Are women allowed to raise their voice?
Is every girl free and can safely rejoice?
Isn’t female infanticide the gravest crime?
Does every individual achieve justice in time?
What about child labour and child trafficking?
For farmers, labourers, what are we doing?
Is there education and employment for all?
Have we broken the discriminatory wall?

For true freedom, let’s together shout.


Unity brings victory, there’s no doubt.
-Shruti Jain,

Science and Spirituality

Two opposite poles which have a connection;


Giving mind a right direction;
Lightening up a novel perception;
And exploring world to a greater dimension.
Science and spirituality is a junction,
Wherein faith and logic together function.

Science with spirituality is body with life;


A bond which can’t be broken with any knife;
Which goes hand in hand without any strife.

Spirituality stands strongly on trust;


Science rules all space and crust.
Both work for the same ground;
“Humanity”, together they make sound,
And an equal help they expound.

Science is brain, Spirituality is soul;


No comparisons! Both play their own role.

Childhood

Heart with innocence,


Face with smiles.
Childhood is reminiscence
How soon time flies!

Days when we would suck our thumb,


And sleep with the lullaby’s hum.

When on mom’s lap we had our snack;


When we’d horse ride on daddy’s back.

When we prattled nineteen to the dozen;


When we were too quick to raise a question.

When moral stories granny would tell;


When in delight we would happily yell.

When we kept our toys cuddled tight;


When ephemeral was anger and fight.

When with colours we devastated walls;


When we had: less books, more dolls.
While going to school those harsh wails;
Remember mom tying two ponytails?

Of childhood it was a glimpse;


Just a glimpse, but what a smile it brings!

THOUGHTS

Thoughts are the best place to wander alone,


The mystical opinions were once innovated here,
The chaotic place to end the gripping silence of life,
The only place where it's fine to have fairy tales and fantasies
It's the journey to an incredible destination MIND,
The light of hidden flowers were once buried and bloomed here
The silhouette trails were once mended here
The place which engages the choices of right and wrong
The phantasms or the angels
The place where you belong!

DOWN THE MEMORY LANE

A little girl asked her mother,


If you had the power to get,
Anything you want,
What would you ask for?

Smiling, her mother said,


Rather than asking for money or gold,
I would wish to go back in time instead,
Because it was a sight to behold.

How I wish I could revisit my past!


The time when I had such a blast.
Being a child, I was so gullible,
That the world never seemed so dull.

The moments from my childhood,


Those memories flashing through my mind,
Laughing and playing in the neighbourhood,
With a heart so kind,

Those petty fights, the carefree life,


It reminds me of when I was five,
All I would say is, live in the moment,
Because nothing is permanent.

Seize these moments in your life,


Enjoy every smile, get past every fear,
Never forget to have fun,
Because life- you only get one!

THE CLEAR SKIES

Looking through the alluring sky,


I lay on the grass wondering why,
Only birds can fly,
While we sit and sigh,

The finches as they flew,


Gazing at the people few,
High in the air,
Are they soaring?
While beneath, to be fair,
Seems boring,

The blind blue sky,


Instantly filled by,
The clouds floating high,
Cloud with its unrealistic shape,
Often becomes an ape,
Or a giant snowflake,

One must admit,


It’s a miracle,
Without the sky,
Our world would be dull,
The sky thus,
Is an epitome,
Of peace and serenity!

ANXIETY AND HOPE

Like a bunch of heavy boulders,


It rests on her shoulders,
It’s not like she’s not aware of It.
But it’s been there for so long,
That she’s agreed on ignoring now
Of course, when It was new to her,
She was confused herself.
Cause she didn’t know why she was feeling like this,
Feeling like she was constantly being watched.
Or like she was breathing but barely.
Like every second could be her last....
It’s not like she didn’t try to tell people,
But no matter what she told,
“It’s just a phase” or “it'll go away!!”
Was all she ever got.
A little attention here
A little there, and then IT wouldn’t dare.
To show up and ruin her life.
The one that she planned with so much love and care.
And even her friends stopped trying after a point.
‘Cause maybe they did not know how to get her back.
Or were they just tired of her “theatrics” as they liked to call them.
Even she understood that and tried her best to be more bubbly and happy around them,
'At least it was making them happy” she would say.
Then again it would come back,
This time maybe crawling from under the bed,
But once more her anxiety would make its presence known,
And take her to the worst-case scenario.
“I did not choose this” “I just want this to stop!!”
These were her only constant thoughts,
And just like that, once again,
She cried herself to bed,
No, it was never a curse,
All she wanted was just to be heard.
I don't know if today she's okay or not,
For I have never met her personally.
So,
All I can do is HOPE.
That she hasn't lost hers
And one day,
She will be her beautiful self again.

UNSEEN HAPPINESS

A spark,
A flame,
A lamp in the darkness,
Or a ray filled with hope,
In the darkest of nights,
Like a bright little star,
There comes many a moment,
From not very far,
Yes, deep in my heart,
Just so very close,
A sweet simple word,
A sincere wish,
A spotless spot of conscience,
Not made of precious gems,
Or sparkling metal gold,
I wish for a light ,a tiny flame,
To fill up our lives,
During the pandemic with happiness and light .
My heart waiting to see,
Times when one is grateful for all the blessings ,
Times when in the warmth of our hearts,
Scattered like blooms of spring time,
In the wholeness of being complete,
No waits
None in despair,
Just looking forward to a time that heals.
Praying that abundance lives in our hearts,
Like a whole hearted smile,
And countless colours paint the scene,
Glorious kind Nature,
Pouring life into our being .
At times ,conflicting
At times, comforting,
A belief in the goodness,
That belongs to all,
In silence ,in words,
I seek ,the beauty in all,
A prayer of calm,
A wish for time to be the balm,
I want the best there is ,
For us ,for you and for me ......

MAA

Usse rishta kuch anokha sa hai,


Ye duniya se kuch pehle ka hai.
Duniya ke liye saikadon kirdaar nibhati hai woh
Par mere liye meri maa hai woh.

Mere hasne pe hasti hai,


Mere rone pe roti hai.
Aur kisi psychiatrist ki tarah
mera man bhi padh liya karti hai.
Mere khushiyon ka mahal bada sundar sajati hai,
Mere dukhon ko kahin dur fek aati hai.
Mamta ki chaya me hame hamesha surakshit rakhti hai
Ye maa hamara kavach banke khadi rehti hai.

Pyaar to woh mujhse aasmaano ki unchaiyon aur samundar ki gehraiyon se bhi jyada karti hai,
Magar ye sanskar dene ke chakkar me kabhi daat bhi liya karti hai.
Uski daat ka dukh
mere se jyada usey hua karta hai.
Meri khushiyon ka sukoon
Mere se jyada uske chehre pe dikha karta hai.
Log kehte hai maa bhagwan ka roop hai
Ha usme koi shakh nahi.
Par agar me kahoon bhagwaan maa ka roop hai
Toh usme bhi beshaq koi khed nahi.

Uss se rishta kuch anokha sa hai,


Ye duniya se kuch pehle ka hai.
Duniya ke liye saikdon kirdaar nibhati hai woh
Par mere liye meri maa hai woh.

बचपन के दन

दे ख ब को खेलते, आ जाता है याद


बचपन का वो व सुहाना!!

माँ क लो रयाँ सुनकर सो जाना,


थोड़ी दे र म उठकर माँ को परेशान करना!
पापा के कंधे पर खेलना,
काम करते व उनको तंग करना!
दाद क कहा नयाँ सुनना और
दादा के साथ म ती करना!
दे ख ब को खेलते, आ जाता है याद
बचपन का वो व सुहाना!!

दो त के साथ लड़ना झगड़ना ,


कभी ठना तो कभी मनाना!
एक खलौने के लए रोना,
न मलने पर पूरा घर सर पर उठाना,
कूल न जाने के बहाने बनाना,
होमवक न करने पर डाँट खाना!
दे ख ब को खेलते, आ जाता है याद
बचपन का वो व सुहाना!!

न कसी बात क चता करना,


न कुछ खोने से डरना!
बड़े बड़े सपन का घर सजाना,
अपने अंदाज म हमेशा म त रहना!
जद करके अपनी बात मनवाना,
सभी को अपना द वाना करना!
दे ख ब को खेलते, आ जाता है याद
बचपन का वो व सुहाना!!

बा रश म भीगने का मज़ा उठाना,


बीमार होने पर माँ को सताना!
तत लय के पीछे भागना,
कई बार गरकर वापस खड़ा हो जाना!
लगता है मधुर बचपन का जमाना,
होता है ये खु शय का खजाना!
दे ख ब को खेलते, आ जाता है याद
बचपन का वो व सुहाना!!

La pollution

La pollution est l’une des plus grandes menaces pour la société. C’est devenu un terme
courant pour les enfants.
Si le niveau de pollution continuent d’augmenter, ce sera le plus grand défi à relever à
l’avenir.

La pollution est principalement de cinq types - la pollution de l’air, la pollution de l’eau,


la pollution sonore, la pollution des sols, la pollution radioactive, etc.
La pollution a un grand impact sur notre manière de vivre, en affectant sa qualité.
La qualité de l’air se détériore en raison des diverses émissions des industries, des véhicules,
etc.
Il devient difficile pour les gens de respirer et d’entraîner des problèmes comme l’asthme.
L’eau est polluée par tout type de polluant. En raison de ces polluants, la vie des animaux
marins est affectée dans une plus large mesure.
En raison du bruit, de nombreuses personnes ont perdu leur capacité auditive.

Donc, il faut essayer de réduire la pollution. Il y a plusieurs façons de réduire la pollution au


niveau individuel. Par exemple :
Il ne faut pas utiliser les articles plastiques. Les déchets doivent être séparés en déchets
humides et déchets secs.
On peut planter des gaules dans le jardin. On doit utiliser les énergies renouvelables.
Il faut éteindre les lumières et les ventilateurs lorsqu’il n’est pas nécessaire.
Il faut suivre les 3R: réduire, réutiliser, recycler. Il faut utiliser le transport public au lieu des
véhicules privé.

La terre est comme Notre mère. Elle donne toutes les choses que nous voulons. Donc,
Il est notre responsabilité de la protéger. On ne doit jamais nuire à notre environnement.
Donc une terre propre sans pollution fera de la terre le meilleur endroit pour vivre .

L'amour
Un mot dont tout le monde est conscient. Mais connaissons-nous vraiment le
vrai sens de l'amour? Peut-être que ce mot est si fréquemment utilisé que
quelque part il a perdu sa vraie signification et son sens. L'amour n'est pas
seulement entre une fille et un garçon, mais bien plus que ça. C'est ce qui est
évident dans la nature depuis l’aube de temps. L'amour des arbres avec le vent. La
façon dont les arbres dansent lorsque le vent bouge est le meilleur exemple
auquel je peux penser. Mais il y a aussi des animaux sauvages et domestiques qui
s'aiment et se soucient si énormément que nous ne pouvons même pas le
comprendre. Même en tant qu'humains, il y a tellement beaucoup de types
d'amour - l'amour d'un père pour sa fille, l'amour d'une mère pour son fils. On
peut aussi aimer les loisirs et passions comme chanter, danser, ou même un petit
acte comme passer du temps avec nos familles. Mais le plus grand d'entre eux est
l'amour des humains pour Dieu. Autant que nous l'ignorons dans nos vies
trépidantes, Dieu fait connaître sa présence en formes variées. Il peut s'agir d'un
étranger aidant quelqu'un, d'un acte de gentillesse dont on ne parlera peut-être
jamais mais qui fera sourire les gens, et bien plus encore.
Alors élargissons un peu notre état d'esprit et essayons de trouver l'amour dans
les petites choses qui nous rendent heureux. Apprécions les gens qui nous
entourent et ceux qui prennent soin de nous. Parce que la vie est trop courte
pour être triste. Alors, profitons de chaque instant que nous avons mais aussi,
traitons les gens et les choses autour de nous, avec gentillesse et un peu
d'AMOUR!!
