"Judging Wings and Walks" - by Astha Mishra of B.Sc ZCFS First Year

Picture Credit: Special Arrangement 

The caterpillar crawls, judged for her pace,

Humans sneer, "You’re slow, what a waste."

Yet they forget, as they point and stare,

They’re crawling too, in their own despair.

When the butterfly breaks free to the sky,

Humans gasp, "How graceful! How high!"

But envy whispers, and praise turns cold—

They forget their wings have just grown old.

For in this world, we’re all in the race,

Crawling, soaring, yet losing grace.

While they judge the caterpillar’s fight,

They forget they, too, crawl through night.

So to the butterfly, I send this plea—

Do better than the world did to me.

For though you’re praised for your beauty rare,

I see the struggle that got you there.

Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888) was an American author and reformer, best known for her novel Little Women (1868) and its sequels, Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Her writing often reflected her advocacy for women's rights and social reform, as she grew up in a family deeply involved in the transcendentalist movement.

Alcott worked as a nurse during the Civil War, an experience that inspired her work Hospital Sketches (1863). She wrote under several pseudonyms early in her career, penning sensational stories, but found lasting fame with Little Women, a semi-autobiographical novel that resonated with audiences for its portrayal of the struggles and joys of family life.

About her book "Little Women":-

Little Women is a novel by Louisa May Alcott that follows the lives of four sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March—growing up in Civil War-era Massachusetts. The story depicts their struggles, dreams, and personal growth as they navigate love, loss, and family dynamics. The novel explores themes of sisterhood, ambition, sacrifice, and the challenges women face in a patriarchal society. It is beloved for its relatable characters and timeless messages of selflessness, resilience, and the importance of family.

"From Me To God" - By Sayeda Masooma Fatima of B.Sc FSCCA First Year

Picture Credit: Special reciepe 

From me to God, a whisper climbs,

Through endless stars, boundless times.

A flicker of hope, a fragile prayer,

Rising through shadows, seeking care.

In the chaos of storms, I raise my gaze,

Through thunder’s roar, lightning’s blaze.

Even in silence, I feel You near,

A whisper, a comfort, a voice so clear.

From me to God, a song is sung,

An eternal hymn through old and young.

No end, no start, no boundaries define,

This timeless bond—Your love divine.

Sun playing hide and seek Within the leaves,

The wind flowing onto freshly bloomed flowers,

Spreading its fragrance on you.

The hair of yours dancing along

With the dried falling leaves,

The peace in her mind,

Watching the cat on her lap,

Slowly drift off into its dream.

The girl on a swing,

living her peaceful dream,

Wishing to live a life,

like this forever.

The calmness in her,

Attracting nature itself, 

mother nature yearning,

to celebrate their friendship together.

Those sweet cherries falling on the grass,

Fully ripened, waiting to be picked by her.

The birds whispered,

Watching her dreamy face,

Enjoying the beauty around her.

Look at the lone star in the sky,

People say darkness is its companion,

But it has the greatest company of its own.

People say it is alone, but it's not.

It enjoys the beautiful night,

By gazing at the wonders of space.

It has a boon called "solitude,"

For which it is so grateful.

It seems to be alone, but it's not...

Sylvia Plath was an American poet and author. She is credited with advancing the genre of confessional poetry and is best known for The Colossus and Other Poems (1960), Ariel (1965), and The Bell Jar, a semi-autobiographical novel published shortly before her suicide in 1963. The Collected Poems was published in 1981, which included previously unpublished works. For this collection Plath was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in Poetry in 1982, making her the fourth to receive this honor posthumously.

About her book " The Bell Jar":-

Picture Credit : Wikipedia 

The Bell Jar is the only novel written by the American writer and poet Sylvia Plath. Originally published under the pseudonym "Victoria Lucas" in 1963, the novel is supposedly semi-autobiographical with the names of places and people changed. The book is often regarded as a roman à clef because the protagonist's descent into mental illness parallels Plath's experiences with what may have been clinical depression or bipolar II disorder.

The Bell Jar addresses the question of socially acceptable identity. It examines Esther's "quest to forge her identity, to be herself rather than what others expect her to be."Esther is expected to become a housewife, and a self-sufficient woman, without the options to achieve independence. Esther feels she is a prisoner to domestic duties and she fears the loss of her inner self. The Bell Jar sets out to highlight the problems with oppressive patriarchal society in mid-20th-century America

O' moon,

You're the only one who listens to me

Without getting bored,

The one I feel peace with.

Your light makes me feel like

I'm glowing like you too,

Or gives me hope that someday

I'll glow too.

You're so beautiful even though

You have your spots and phases,

Where you change and disappear

From time to time.

Never once do you stop

Emitting your light to me

And helping me exist

With your presence.

Even if not visible,

Your light gives me

The comfort to embrace

My wounds and calm my chaos,

Providing warmth to my cold and dying heart,

Making me smile

Through my stream of tears

Flowing under your light.

Under the sky,

You and me—a bond meant to be.

O' moon, you're my light, my soul,

My safe place.

Even when I'm going through a

Dark day, your appearance makes

Me feel at ease and makes me thank

Having you by my side, following me

Everywhere I go through the night.

O' moon, how much I love

Gazing at you all night. While

Everyone sees my scars and makes

Me feel unworthy,

You give me hope and courage to be kind,

To live and show it's okay to have scars and still glow.

She smiled, as flowers bloomed,

Death found life anew.

Her smile, a beacon of hope,

In the scars’ dark hue.

Injuries found their mend.

In her warmth, life found its blend.

She smiled, as magic in the dark world,

Where dreams soar, unfurled.

Once upon a time, Maya was an enthusiastic student with big dreams—excelling in academics, playing sports, joining clubs, and learning a new language. But as her schedule grew busier, she felt overwhelmed and struggled to keep up.

Every day, she made a long to-do list but often ended up feeling defeated. That’s when her teacher, Mr. Sharma, stepped in with some valuable advice on time management:

• Prioritize: Focus on a few important tasks.    Each day instead of trying to do everything.
• Break Tasks Down: Divide assignments into smaller steps to make them manageable.
• Use Time Blocks: Study in focused intervals (like 25 minutes), followed by short breaks to stay refreshed.
• Learn to Say ‘No’: Cut back on clubs to focus on what truly matters to you.

With these tips, Maya learned to balance her commitments and reduce stress. Her grades improved, and she even found time to learn Spanish!

Maya's story shows how effective time management can help students achieve their goals while maintaining well-being. Let’s take a page from her book and make the most of our time!

The pure delighted liquid,

Quench juice of tarmarind,

The Sweetness of her love,

In hues of turmeric.

The sliced raw onions,

Simmering of oil,

In hot mixture of tastes,

With mates of jeera and rai.

The fragrance of rasam,

Fill the place with delight,

The wed of rice with rasam,

Decored as buffet.

Each bite of the meal,

Heals the soul,

As the feel of heaven 

On the grounds of hell.

"The call of Palestine" by Praharshita of B.Sc MBTC First Year

Our laughs and giggles on school grounds,

Replaced by the anguish and terror of battlefields.

How funny it seems those little hands,

Once dipped in paint for school projects,

Now, drenched in blood on hospital beds.

The crayons held to draw a bright world,

Now, been replaced by tools of war,

Our dreams fade like the smoke in the air.

Tears might be the only water source left,

As rivers dry, soaked in grief and despair.

When did hide and seek go from playing,

To running, hiding from men with guns,

Who wear faces we can no longer understand?

The stories we read before bed,

Once filled with knights and castles,

Now, speak of survival and loss.

The swings hang still, the playgrounds empty,

As the echoes of laughter fade into silence,

Where did we lose ourselves, 

In a world we didn’t choose?

Our homes turned to dust,

Our memories tangled in fear.

We grew up too soon,

The price of innocence, 

Paid in a currency of sorrow.

And yet, we hold on,

For somewhere deep inside, the child still waits,

For the world to turn kind again.

"My Father" - By Tulasi Chendi of BBA First Year

From the first breath, you held me tight,  

Through endless days and sleepless nights, 

You watched me stumble, fall, and stand,  

With patient eyes and guiding hand.

When others cheered for mother's grace,  

You stood behind, no need for praise,  

Yet every step I dared to take,  

Was rooted in the strength you'd make.

I saw the lines upon your face,  

Etched with love, devoid of place,  

In stories told or songs sung loud,  

Where mothers' are crowned so proud.

But Father, in your quiet way,  

You gave me more than words could say.

You built my world, stone by stone,  

A fortress strong, though all unknown.

Now at eighteen, I understand,  

The silent love, the unseen hand,  

Society may overlook your role,  

But, in my heart, you're my soul.

"Women in India - 2024" An Essay by Jahnavi Malisetty of B.Sc FNBC First Year 

Picture Credit: Jahnavi Malisetty 

In India, approximately 691 million people are women, many of whom face unfair treatment, discrimination, honor killings, child abuse, dowry deaths, acid attacks, female feticide, trafficking, child marriage, and more. Due to age-old superstitions and outdated thinking, women endure numerous challenges. They are discriminated against  men, often denied education, married at a young age, and subjected to domestic violence and workplace harassment. The horrific tradition of sati, although abolished, is a stark reminder of how deeply ingrained some practices were. In sati, a widow was forced to burn herself alive on her husband's funeral pyre, while a widowed man could continue to live and remarry without similar expectations.

Thankfully, many have opposed such unjust practices. For example, Raja Ram Mohan Roy played a pivotal role in the abolition of sati. Even today, women are often forced to obey others’ wishes and face bias in every aspect of life. They are discouraged from pursuing education and are often confined to household chores, child-rearing, and caring for their families. Their individuality is often erased, and they are made to live solely for others.

Even when a woman is educated and capable of supporting herself, she may still face discrimination and harassment in the workplace. Women are often pressured to bring dowries upon marriage, treated as commodities with a price tag, and subjected to domestic violence if their in-laws or spouses are dissatisfied.

A major threat to women in today's society is the pervasive fear of assault, even for a 4-month-old girl. In 2023 alone, "28,811 complaints of crimes against women" were reported, with countless other stories remaining untold, their voices stifled by fear of societal judgment.

In regions with matrilineal societies, where women are seen as capable of handling any task or challenge, the situation is still troubling. In such states, 690 crimes against women were recorded, with only 26% being resolved.

Every day, we are inundated with tragic news: a 4-month-old girl assaulted, the 2012 Nirbhaya case, two minor girls gang-raped in Shillong, the Kolkata doctor case, and the horrifying death of a veterinary doctor who was burned alive, among many others.

Human trafficking is another heinous crime affecting women, with many girls being kidnapped and trafficked to other countries where their lives become unbearable. Even cultured, independent women are not spared; if they reject a man’s advances, they might face violent retaliation, such as an acid attack.

We live in a country where women are traditionally respected and worshipped. The Mahabharata epic is a testament to this, as the great battle was fought to avenge the disrobing and insult of Draupadi. Similarly, Ravana was killed for harboring ill intentions toward Sita Devi. Our ancestors fought for the honor of women, yet today, as their descendants, we continue to struggle for justice for women who have been assaulted.

Women can only feel safe in society when there is collective action to change it. A simple social media post or a “we want justice” slogan won’t suffice. Women must also learn to protect themselves, including through self-defense training. In reality, no superhero will come to our rescue—women must be empowered to stand up for themselves.

A better society for women can only be achieved with stronger laws. Criminals who commit crimes against women must face severe punishment, and justice must be delivered within a year. For a victim, waiting for justice for a decade or more is often more painful than the crime itself. Laws must help women live without fear of discrimination, harassment, or violence.

When children are taught to respect women from an early age, many crimes against women could be prevented. Home is the first school, and parents are the first teachers. Every parent should ensure that daughters are protected, and sons are taught to respect others.

Society must support women in standing up against unfair treatment and not judge them unjustly, as in the common but harmful notion that “a girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy.” Instead, society should be a pillar of support for victims whose voices are unheard, for those trapped in toxic marriages, and for those facing domestic violence. The society has to be the one to break the shackles instead of binding them in it.

Women will only be truly safe in this society if these changes are made. It is up to people to work hard toward this goal, ensuring that every woman feels safe and proud to be born as a woman.

"The Locked Minds - Conservative People of India" by Heeba subhani shaik of B.Sc FNZC Final Year 

Picture Credit : Special Arrangement 

what is conservatism ?

Conservatism is a cultural, social, and political philosophy, that seeks to promote and preserve traditional institutions, customs, and values. In India after its independence for many years this has always been a journey of hope with challenges, and as each decade passed the hope persisted and the challenges changed. The question arises about what happens to the sense of freedom when Indian society is turning conservative. There is not much desire for freedom to break barriers in social and cultural terms. There is less zeal to change things.

The division in the society :

The narrow mindedness and non progressiveness has led to many kinds of discrimination and division among the people of our own.

Hierarchy - Societal hierarchy is evident in caste groups, amongst individuals, and in family and kinship groups. Castes are primarily associated with Hinduism, but caste-like groups also exist among Muslims, Christians, and other religious communities. Within most villages or towns, everyone knows the relative rankings of each locally represented caste, and behavior is constantly shaped by this knowledge.

Purity and Pollution - In Indian society differences are expressed in terms of ritual purity and pollution, among different castes, religious groups, and regions. Generally, high status is associated with purity and low status with pollution. Some kinds of purity are inherent; for ex - a member of a high ranking Brahmin or priestly caste is born with more inherent purity than someone born into a low-ranking sweeper, or scavenger caste.

Family Authority and Harmony - In the Indian household, lines of hierarchy and authority are clearly drawn, and ideals of conduct help maintain family harmony. All family members are socialized to accept the authority of those above them in the hierarchy.

The Seclusion of Women - This is an

independent country then why...why?.. do the girls still don’t have freedom to work as per her choice, to choose her life partner, to decide for herself when she wants to get married. Family should be a support system which encourages you to persue the life you want but Sadly in our country, conservative families insist on pushing their dreams, rules, ways onto their children. You are entitled to live your life on your own terms.

‘The radical distinction between religious and political order, and the need to build the art of government without depending on the law of God’.

- Karl Mannheim

a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude."

1. Ruchika a 19-year-old University student steps out of a mall after a quick shopping. She is holding many bags one of them has her wedding dress. Would she want to get married, someday? Yes, she says with a laugh. Love marriage or arranged marriage? Love marriage. Does she think a woman should work after marriage? Of course, says Goswami, who is in the first year of bachelor’s degree in biological science. Should a woman listen to her husband? Not at all, she says firmly, as dusk falls over the mall and the trees glow under the lamps. Does she think there should be reservation in colleges for Scheduled Caste/ Scheduled Tribe students? No, there should be equal opportunity for everyone.

2. Nagar, Bharathi Janardhanan was almost done cooking and cleaning a house. She works in five houses, and there were two more to go that day. Do men make better leaders than women? No, of course not, says the 21-year-old, wearing a golden-yellow kurta, her hair in a braid. Should women work after marriage? “Of course. I make over Rs 12,000 every month and that is important,” says Janardhanan, who had to stop studying after Class V. Will she get married? Maybe after a year. Will it be a love marriage or arranged marriage? Arranged marriage, of course, says Janardhanan.

In this journey of life, through ups and downs, 

You’ve been my rock, my loyal hound.
Always guiding me on the right path,
Through moments of joy and moments of wrath.

When I falter and lose my way,
You gently remind me it’s okay to stray.
But with your wisdom and caring heart,
You show me where to restart.

In times of doubt and confusion,
You offer me your clear conclusion.
Never sugarcoating or telling lies,
You bring truth to my eyes.

A true friend who doesn’t just cheer, 

But also helps me face my fear,

You’re not afraid to say I’m wrong,
And for that, I feel strong.

You don’t encourage me towards the wrong path, 

Instead, you steer me away from wrath,

Your presence brings me peace and light,

In the darkest hour or the brightest night.

Like a parent always pointing true, 

You cheer me in all that I pursue. 

With you by my side, I have no fear,

For your friendship is always near.

Through laughter, tears, and everything in between,
You’re the constant in my ever-changing scene.

A companion like no other,
A bond that only grows stronger.

So here’s to you, my best friend,

For being with me until the end.

For showing me the way when I’m lost,
And always counting the cost.

Thank you for being my guiding light, 

For shining through the darkest night.
I cherish our bond and hold it near, 

For in you, I have nothing to fear.

From the day I crawled, in your arms so tight,

Tulasi felt safe, bathed in your light.

You brought me chocolates, love wrapped inside,

With every sweet bite, your care never died.

But now those arms are gone, the silence so deep,

Each night Tulasi lies awake, unable to sleep.

You walked me to school, your hand in mine,

With every step, Tulasi felt lonely, the echoes so clear,

Each step a reminder that you're no longer near.

You wiped my tears, you cheered when I'd win,

Without you, Grandpa, Tulasi doesn't know where to begin.

The days stretch long, the nights feel cold,

In every memory, Tulasi's love unfolds.

The pain of your absence cuts deep like a knife,

As Tulasi searches for you in the shadows of life.

Your voice in the wind, your touch in my dreams,

Reminds Tulasi of love, though nothing as it seems.

Tulasi, your granddaughter, lost in the night,

Longing for the warmth of your guiding light.

In every tear, your love still flows,

In every heartache, Tulasi's memory grows.

For in my heart, you'll forever stay,

Guiding Tulasi, Grandpa, in your own gentle way.

Though you are no more, your soul stays with Tulasi.

Chaos, the world I live in,  

The world inside me.

It's all chaos around,  

And I wonder.

Chaos is my fear,  

Yet, fills me from within,  

Chaos emerges,

When people overlook, 

Think only for self, 

And ignore others.

Chaos broke me down,  

Yet, it built me up,

give me power, to survive,

Chaos, my weakness,  

Yet, the reason for my Uprising.

Chaos, the disturbance,  

Yet, when utilized,  

Can turn into Peace,

And transform new things.

Chaos is different, 

To different people, 

And often born,

of misunderstandings.  

For chaos, we live in,  

Chaos, we live for.
