Let us not ignore a segmentwhich is the life-blood of our

democracy. If we want the press

to do its duties faithfully,

efficiently and effectively we

will have to grant freedom to it.

Remember friends, a censored

press cannot deliver the goods.A press working under

restrictions and forced to tone

down its work according to the

whims and fancies of individuals

or governments will only present

a distorted view of things to the

people. Falsehood will pass for truth and truth itself will be a casualty.

We can quote numerous instances from history when this has happened

and the nation has had to suffer.


6/32

Further, times have changed, we are changing and alongside, the press

is also changing. So whats the hue and cry about if the piercing eye of

the press is looking a little deeper, sometimes through unorthodox

methods, into the acts of omission and commission by individuals andgovernments.

Whats the problem?Thanks to the press, even the ordinary people can make their voices

heard, have their views understood and moreover they can comprehendthe subtle nuances of society. Members of the house, freedom of the

press is a help and not a hindrance.

It has been seen from time immemorial that people who have tried to

keep their lives secret or private were the very ones who became the

victim of insensitive and ruthless free press which has striped them

apart of their private lives to an extent that they havent been spared

to their normal lives. Lady Daina, Parveen Babi, Salman Rashdi, Rahul

Gandhi are a few of them, the worst being Lady Daina who eventually

lost her life in the bargain.

More the Secrecy Less the Privacy Freedom of press encourages and promotes reaching out to people,

exploring new dimensions, widening the thought images and gathering

information. Imparting information for relevant purposes where

freedom of press is an extension of ones focused approach. On the

other hand privacy cuts down that extension and leaves the society

bare, isolated and totally cuts off an individual and a society as a whole

from ideas, areas of learning and sharing.


7/32

The press is not effective because the ownership of the newspapers is

in the hands of a few newspaper chain or groups. It has also beensuggested / may be suggested, that the editors and journalists are

under the pressure of their capitalist owners. It is far from the truth.

The fact of the matter is that every journalist and every home of press

has a soul. The amount of lease given by the government to it to do full

justice to the society is up to the journalists.

The right to privacy cannot be seen against the freedom of the press.

Shouldnt the press react when the conduct of an individual or a whole

organization is in question? Sit in seclusion, pretend to be a non-

conformist and keep beating your chest in the name of privacy, and

expect the press also to remain private and not perform its duty.

Ladies and Gentlemen, had it not been for the freedom of the press,

neither the United States would have discovered the Watergate

scandal nor India would have known even a word about the Bofos deal.

In the words of Kabir

We should keep our most vehement critic closest to us.

If public issue are not brought to light what will happen to the

country.Do we want a country where even crimes like Nithari &

Rapes go unnoticed?

Ladies and Gentlemen, even a teacher needs feedback from its class.

ARIHANT BAHUKHANDI

The humble Raspberry Pi came to life as little more than a prototype

in late 2011, knocking around some trade-fairs. But even at thispoint, it had been in development for over four years.

The brainchild of Eben Upton, who started piecing together the Pion the longest piece of breadboard he could buy from Maplin, its

principal motivation was to make computing accessible, with a plan to

give the boards to school kids in the hope they'd get enthusiastic

about hacking on the devices, just as the Raspberry Pi's founders

had done with their home computers in the 80s.

It was this 80s computing meme, along with co-conspirator David

Braben's address book famously plundered for contacts and the idea

that programming should be taught to everyone who has helped theRaspberry Pi get phenomenal traction.

Just a few months after those prototypes were shown at trade

shows, over 200,000 people registered their interest for the first

'Model B' boards, 20 times the capacity of the first production run,

and the rest is history.

The Raspberry Pi sold half a million units in 6 months, not into the

educational market it was designed to revolutionize, but into a widedemography of hackers, makers and tinkerers.

This is a device that can legitimately be described as a full-fledged

PC, albeit one that's embedded into a diminutive printed circuit

board, measuring just 85.60 mm by 53.98 mm. The CPU isn'tpowerful, an ARMv6 running by default at 700 MHz, but it can be

powered by a USB cable, and even batteries, and is capable of

running a graphical environment with accelerated video - through


9/32

either an HDMI port or a composite RCA jack suitable for

televisions.

The lack of old-style VGA is a problem when you consider there arenow so many old redundant monitors, but this oversight is more likely

to be a limitation of the SoC hardware than a shortfall in design.

The official operating system is a Debian-derived Linux distribution

called 'Raspbian'. If you've used the command-line on a Debian-

based distribution before, such as Ubuntu, you shouldn't have anyproblems as many of the same commands and configuration options

will be familiar.But even if

you've only ever

used Windows,the command line

isn't that

difficult. Arm

yourself with a

couple oftutorials and

startinvestigating. If you break the installation, the worst that can

happen is you'll need to reflash your storage with a new version of

the distribution.

How you go on to use the Raspberry Pi is up to you. Thanks to the

use of Debian, you can install exactly the same software you canwith any other Linux distribution. If you want to access the GPIO

pins, there's a command line utility and several APIs for accessing

the functionality from other languages.

But as the Raspberry Pi is now firmly in the domain of the hackers,

new solutions are appearing daily, including GPIO control through a

web interface and countless other projects using the Pi at theirheart. Programming is easily catered for by installing anything from


10/32

Python to the recently announced TinyBASIC, if you're after that

authentic 80s experience.

The Raspberry Pi now has a thriving online community and the

constantly expanding wiki provides all the information a beginnerneeds to know, although it could benefit from being condensed into a

simple guide for beginners.

The new devices are even built at Sony's manufacturing facility inPencoed, Wales, and the team has set an important precedent by

working with Broadcom to release parts of the VideoCore interface

under the terms of an open source licence.

The Raspberry Pi does have its problems. The CPU is old technology,and it's not as quick as some of its competitors. The lack of a case

could limit its application, although there are third-party cases

available.

And if you're new to Linux, there's also a steep learning curve totackle, as you'll have to successfully write an image to a memory

card, update packages and use the command line before you even get

to a graphical environment. But this is all part of the challenge, and

making things easier might limit the device's flexibility

This flexibility is wonderful, but it doesn't mean anything without

the accompanying low cost. By pricing the Raspberry Pi so cheaply,

its creators have gifted a new generation the ability to experimentwithout the fear of destroying either valuable equipment or

ambition.

And this is the key to the Pi's success. It wipes away the decades of

stuffy formality that has traditionally surrounded computer science,replacing it with a world of seemingly infinite possibilities. Admit it,

even you've got an idea for something to try on the Raspberry Pi,and that's why it has been, and will continue to be, such a success.

K.S.SHIBANI SHANKAR

What is it about Hollywood and running?

Why do movie advertisers think that we will be more likely to go and see a film

if the poster features a freeze framed shot of the leading actor / actress in

mid sprint?

I get the theory. The promise of action and dynamism. The attraction of a lithe,

well-honed human body pushed to full exertion, pitched against the elements,

stripped away from all mechanic help and motorized aid to pit itself against

[insert generic forces of darkness here]. See our leading ladys muscles tauten

and flex as she runs gun in hand down the blazing sidewalk. Marvel as our leading

mans 6-pack ripples impressively as he runs a 4 minute mile to hurl himself overthe bonnet of his assailants car and artfully wound himself just a little above

his right eye so that the blood runs down and even more delineates his finely

chiselled features.

Even better if theres wind and rain. Running through the raw elements is always

a winner. Or a spray of bullets. We love it when they run through a peppershot

storm of lead and come out the other side totally unscathed.

Man. Running. Ive got to go and see a film with running in it right now!

Except, I dont. Not really.

Because running on a movie poster always looks a little bit stupid. And a whole

lot contrived.


12/32

Lets be honest, when a human being runs they dont, as a rule, look cool. I know

anthropologists make the case that human beings are designed to run (its all

about our buns apparently) and certain individuals like Usain Bolt certainly

manage to look magnificent when they run but, by and large, the rule for the

rest of us is: when we run we look like we really dont want to be doing it and

medically we really, really shouldnt even have attempted to do it.

And thats when seen at actual normal running life speed.

If you take a freeze frame of the average Joe (or Joanne) taken at full pelt,

well, we just look like we are in pain. Like we are a huge chain of human sausage

meat linked by a bizarrely jointed chain of hernias. Like our flesh is attached to

our skeletons with cheap chewing gum and one more heavy footfall is going to

see the whole lot slide off our bones with a wet ripping noise and ooze off down

the nearest drain.

Depending on how much excess weight you are

carrying you may even find your nipples haveindividually swung to different sides of your

body. Im not talking left and right, here, I am

talking front and back.

We do not look pretty when we run.

Which is why movie posters have to lie about it.

But there is an art to this lying. If it is done badly, for all our leading man and

leading lady may still look buff and muscle perfect, they will inevitably look

ridiculous.

Take the movie image for Breaking Dawn Part 2. Its all over the place at the

moment. It features Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner

running heroically towards the camera.


13/32

At least, that was the brief.

They look like they are jogging desultorily. That kind of half-assed shambolic,

scurry-run that people do when they half-heartedly run for a bus which is

already pulling away and they know wont stop. The run that is the start of a runbut kind of runs out of momentum after the first stride. Im going to run, Im

going to run, Im going to oh I cant be bothered. They look like they were told

to literally run exactly one step toward the photographer and then stop. Dont

move a muscle. Hold it right there. Make-up touch them up and sort out their

hair. Hold it. Hold it. Pressing the shutter release button now. Click. And relax.

Thanks guys thats really nailed it. So much better than speedwalking.

Take a look at this image when you get the chance. They have created something

quite unique. A vacuous run. A non-committal sprint. The kind of run youd

undertake when the person you hate most in the world is lying before you, being

kicked by everyone theyve ever hurt and betrayed and theyre calling you for

help. Yeah. Im coming. Im getting there. Im just going to take a very long time

doing it.

This image doesnt say dynamism. It doesnt say action.

It says I refuse to look as sloppy and out of shape as every other human being

on this planet does when they run anywhere very fast.

It says I cant even act convincingly like Im running despite moving my limbs like

I am actually running and being paid a massive fortune to do it.

This, Hollywood movie poster makers, does not sell the movie to me. Not at all.

But it does make me want to run.

Just not to the cinema or the DVD vendor

Before the starting pistol is even fired, somebody just lost the race.

APRAJITA KESAR

A perfect and glorious smile is everyones wish but few are blessed

with teeth that are not only perfectly coloured but also, shaped to

perfection. Toothpaste

manufacturers have been quick

to take advantage of this

situation and consequently,wesee advertisements of

sparkling white teeth as a

result of some magic formula

that the advertisement

agencies and manufacturers

have managed to brew up.

Even chewing gummanufacturers are not to be

left behind and have come up

with products that make teeth

light up the world. If that

were indeed the case, then we

all would be advocating the use of used chewing gum in place of

electric bulbs and CFLs. While it may be safe to assume that most

of the public will not be easily swayed by such ostentatious claims,

there still remain the gullible sections, like young teens whose

consumption of these goods has undergone a drastic change. Their

buying pattern has shifted in favour of goods that allow them to

have an excellent self image and acceptance by all.


15/32

They fall prey to the ridiculous pack of lies told by huge

corporations and consider the usage of such products as a useful

tool that will enable them to have a better public image and self

confidence. Pressure to be considered good-looking and gain socialacceptance has also added fuel to the fire or rather mint to the

paste/gum and made all of us eagerly reach out for the latest

product promising teeth whiter than ever before. Preying on the

fears of young adults, companies reinforce in them the belief that

a brilliant smile, an open laughter and minty cool breath are the

keys to being always

surrounded by ardent

admirers. This in turn has

also promoted an increased

consumption of every sugary,

oily and harmful food

known to mankind; after

all nothing can go wrong as

long as you use your

magical potions andpills, the guardians of

dental hygiene. It

would however be in the best

interest of everyone if companies stuck to only promising (and

keeping that promise) healthy teeth and gums, free from germs

and cavities and not, The Elixir of Brilliance.

unfold from July onwards with Sir Alex not defeating teams and winning trophies

one after the other, using his genius tactics, implementing gameplay plans on the

pitch with help of his red army. I don't think anyone can match Sir Alex Ferguson.

What makes him so special is that he just has this knack of knowing what to do

and when, what to say to players to get the best out of them, even if he had to

use his "hairdryer technique", which all the players dreaded. And to do it year

after year for so long is just incredible. It is simply amazing. What he's done for

the club and what he's achieved is remarkable. Sir Alex Ferguson is irreplaceable.

It's the end of a glittering, shinning era.

Thank you, Sir Alexander Chapman Ferguson.

We will never forget you. Ever.In the modern day era, no one proclaims to have seen God, the almighty. But I will

be proud to grow up and tell a story one day that I saw god. His name. SIR

ALEX FERGUSON - 26 years, 38 major trophies. Father, Leader, Visionary,

WINNER!

WE LOVE YOU SIR ALEX FERGUSON. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. WEWILL MISS YOU.

GLORY, GLORY MAN UNITED!

I love those lovely eyes

Gleaming with beautiful dreams.

Even a drop of tear shies away

When your eyes give me a smile.

Life seems so joyful when I look into your eyes.

It gives me freedom,

It gives me life.

It has the iris full of colors.

Like a rainbow it is full of flowers.

Pushpa, I hate tears

Because I like your eyes smiling.

I love those lovely eyes,

Gleaming with a beautiful life.

-SIDDHARTH GARG

Last year around this time perhaps, I had a chance to attend a

programme at JKK that was

organized by Aalingan (English

translation Embrace) anorganization for HIV infected

children who were ironically

abandoned by their parents.

The kids, totalling 32, might

be in age groups from 3 to 12

years. They were of different

heights, different colours and

complexions and were all

beaming and bouncing with

little smirks on their faces.

They all had a zest for life as

they gathered on stage for

their performances and to

utter a few rehearsed words.

They danced, they spoke, they cheered and they came off the stage

to the front gallery almost with a glint of hope to be embraced by

the audience... as if to live up by the name of their organisation -

Aalingan.


23/32

We all clapped, applauded each performance with greater energy

than usual, because, I am certain, we all wanted to cheer them up

and encourage them more since somewhere in our minds, we

thought that those children were not one amongst us and were not

equal to us in some strange ways. We masked our knowledge of this

discretion, differentiation, prejudice and bias by cheering each

performance with greater energy and applause, making them feel

first among equals - the HIV tag was getting conspicuous, more

prominent and louder with every round of applause.

I vouch that the audience meant well and their intentions cannot bedoubted but did we think and feel same way once we were out of

the event hall and busy in our daily chores? Shall we remember them

and embrace them unconditionally once out of the place and event?

The realization of the dark truth was so glaring and so distasteful.

Like everyone, especially at that young age, one feels so good,

motivated and encouraged by the applause, and these children were

no exception but they felt so out of innocence and not discretion.

Few might have thought that they will work more on themselves and

improve their skills to perform still better and to be appreciated

and applauded more, little knowing that their lives were already

measured. This is before the time shall interfere with its slow

erosion of cliffs of innocence, caving-in to brute reality. With the

passage of time, innocence shall be shredded and replaced by

bitterness and hopelessness. One day we, or most of us, shall murder

their innocence with our indifference or distance: when these kids

will understand the meaning of HIV, when realization will dawn

upon them about why they are not embraced Why they are not

even considered equals


24/32

The realization shall either shatter them or harden them know not

which one is worse. Our non-realisation of our intentions sans action

or lack of it, will somewhere massacre their innocence and

perpetuate bitterness in them against us / society.

-ABHINAV TYAGI

Come hold my hand, say nothing; just walk.

Nothing to think, nothing to fear, nothing to feel; just walk.

Lets take the road we never took,

No matter what, lets walk.


Say the words I have waited for,

love me the way you want.

Look at me the way you looked,

trust me the way you want.

Come to me when you need me,

For I have waited for you long.

Give me the smile I need,

For I might not see it for long.

Believe me, my words, I am not a joker,

For you might not know before I am gone.

Come to me, hold my hand, say nothing; just walk.


26/32

Lets watch the sun dive into the sea.

Feel me the way you want.

Lets walk somewhere, I know not where.

Lets kill that fear and walk.

Let me kiss those lips

And feel you again,

For I might not see you for long.

Let me listen to those words

And touch you again,

For you might not know and I am gone.

The time has come for me to leave,

Say whatever you want,

When I am gone dont forget me because

I love you more than you want.


Nothing to fear because you are my dear,

To the eternity lets walk.

OJASVI JAIN

Bittersweet melancholy,

An effortless melody,

The hushed whispers of

A startling tune

The perfect strings pulled on a souls guitar

The unexpected heartbeat of the drum

The voice of an evergreen nightingale

The amalgamation of the chorus

Between mind and heart.

The surroundings slowly fade into oblivion

All thats left is the hypnotic music and you.

In that moment, everything is ideal

In that moment, you need no more

In that moment, you are safe.

It fixes all mishaps, heals all wounds

It banishes the pain to a forbidden land

Then as it makes you smile, it smiles too

Before you know it, it is laughing and celebrating with you.

In every situation, it finds its place within you

It makes you fall in love, over and over again.

It helps you forget, but it also reminds you

Of that which you wish you had never forgotten.


28/32

It playfully dances with your emotions,

You are putty in its hands.It carries you along; it will never leave you behind

It is embedded deep in your soul.

However, the bitter question that always plagues me

Is What did I do to deserve my emptiness?

The incomparable Sound Of Music

Why was it ruthlessly stolen from me?

Kuch bhooli boli baten hain.

Koi hasta khilkhilata chehra hai,

Kuch aur nahi bas teri aahen hai.

Maine dekhe aise khwaab hain,

Khushiyon ka jisme sailaab hai.

Atka jahan mera dil hai,

Kuch aur nahi bas teri nigahein hain.

Tumhe dekhun to yun lagta hai,

Registaan me kamal ka phool khila hai.

Na jaane maine ye kyun likha hai,

Kuch aur nahi bas teri batein hain.

Phoolon ko sungh kuch samajh nahi aata hai,

Aajkal to shehed bhi dil ko nahi bhata hai.

Na jaane meri naak ko kya hua hai,

Kuch aur nahi bas teri khushboo hai.


30/32

Kuch bhooli bisri yaaden hain,

Kuch haste sulagte pal hain,

Koi aansu aankh se tapakta hai,

Kuch aur nahi bas tera wo dhoka hai.

Koi chehra dikhai deta hai,

Kuch baatein yaad aati hain,

Koi pyaar bhari muskurahat hai,

Kuch aur nahi bas beeta kal hai.

Kuch waaden sunai dete hain,

Kuch nagmein duhain dete hain.

Wo saath chalna yaad aata hai,

Kuch aur nahi bas tera choota haat hai.

Haathon me haath rakhna yaad aata hai,

Wo hothon ka milna bhi yaad aata hai,

Wo taron ke neeche letna yaad hai,Kuch aur nahi bas tera naam yaad aata hai

Wo raston ka mudna dikhai deta hai,

Tera mujhse bichadna dikhai deta hai,

Un waadon ka tutna sunai deta hai,

Yun pal me mujhe chodna samajh aata hai,

Teri jhooti baateni sunai deti hain,

Meri khushiyon ka bikharna bhi dikhai deta hai,

Us muskurahat ki kadwahat ko bhi chakh liya hai,

Kuch aur nahi bas " wo tera pyaar hai."

Wo bhooli bisri yaaden hain,

Wo bhooli boli baaten hain,

Tujhe maaf karna sirf mera haq hai,

Tu bas ye jaan le-

"ye mera pyaar hai"
