PRINCIPAL’S DESK

As I walk the hallways of the college, I can hear the studious silence of eager minds, the cheers of excited athletes who have tasted victory, the thump of dancing feet and the melodious strain of the budding nightingales.

We are a college with a difference, we value individuality, creativity and innovation, and strive to nurture these qualities in our students. Our institution aims not just to impart knowledge to the students, but also to instill in them, wisdom, compassion and a humanitarian spirit. Discipline, values and integrity are the very foundations of this college.

Our motto, “Spread the light” is more than just words, it signies our thirst for knowledge and our zeal to spread it. In that spirit, we have started three new courses this year; B.Sc.(H) Zoology, B.Sc.(H) Chemistry, B.Sc.(H) Botany to expand the spectrum of the radiant knowledge, we have come to be a proud beacon of.

We not only actively work towards being a better institution for learning; we strive to simply be better.

As such, during the latest NAAC visit, we managed to proudly earn the respect of being an 'A' rated college, but much like time, ambitions tend to keep on marching forth, and I dare say, ours is an ambitious institution. It is now our ambition to achieve an 'A+' rating next. Owing to our practical based approach, and being a part of Star College Scheme, we ensure the best facilities for research are available to our students. We not only ensure that they can indulge their quest for knowledge, we actively encourage our students to do so through various innovation projects and under IQAC, make sure we never compromise on the quality of it.

Our mission is to continue to do what we have always done and improve where we can and be forever inclined towards reaching that one goal of perfection, to always strive to be the guiding hand for the bright young minds, to nurture them to be such citizens of this country as worth remembrance. After all, the driving force of our college is to better serve our nation and mankind.

“Resonance happens when your mind and heart come into sync.”

- Ravindra Shukla

These words ring so true when I surf my memory bank of the seven years i spent working as an engineer with National Hydroelectric Power Corporation in the captivating North East India. The rolling tea gardens, the roar of the mighty Brahmaputra, the snorting Rhinos of Kaziranga, the haunting melodies of Bhupen Hazarika and the mesmerising moves of intricate dances, surely make Assam, Arunachal Pardesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Sikkim and Tripura, INCREDIBLE. Witnessing at rst hand the unparalleled natural beauty combined with an ancient and rich heritage generated in me a sense of wondrous joy - a happy resonance!

This edition of the magazine is aptly dedicated to the awesome North Eastern states. Our college has a fully devoted North East Cell, the activities of which have been highlighted in this edition. Like every year Resonance also brings to fore the various activities that have taken place in the course of last year.

It gives me immense pleasure to express my gratitude to the Principal Dr. Balaram Pani for his constant support and encouragement. I also greatly appreciate the efforts of the magazine committee co-convener, Dr. Meenakshi Garg, other magazine committee faculty members and the team of student editorial board.

Happy Reading.

The diary of a dreamer..

We all are dreamers. We dream but do you ever realized why?

Some people dream to have a silent sleep, some dream to chase their unrealistic ideas and some dream to live, to live a life they have always wanted to.

One should never be afraid of revealing their own true colours. After all, what could be more beautiful than who we really are. Sure, to some, it may be a complete mess just like a long night after a tornado, but to others, it could be as deep as the ocean. That's the thing about dreams, it reveals our true nature, what we really are, irrespective of what the world sees.

Know what Life is like a deck of cards, you have an obligation to play from the one's you are holding but in dreams you can make your move way out of the box, beyond limits without worrying about the consequences.

You ask a child to stay away from a hot pan and he goes on to touch it. You don't tell him about it and he will most probably not even notice the pan. You repeatedly punish a child, demean him for doing something wrong, he/she will probably try to nd ways to do that and will do it more often.

An idea or concept enforced on someone is never a good idea because it ignites rebellion and something as beautiful as nationalism doesn't need to be enforced. You don't need to be aggressive about it because it's a soft emotion. The idea of aggressive nationalism, which is rather known as Jingoism, is really a negative idea. It reects insecurity and distrust of the nation towards its own people and that is never a good message to send to the world. It weakens the true core of a nation and when there is mistrust amongst people of a nation, a nation can never grow together. Also, it doesn't make one fall in love with the concept but only make him/her hate it. It makes all the respect an obligation, a liability rather than instilling it naturally and nationalism is not only a concept, it's an emotion and an emotional can never be forced. A forced emotion is always a bitter ground which does more harm than good.

Being aggressive about nationalism shifts focus from things that require attention. It deviates attention from the actual socio-political, economical and security concerns of the nation to something that doesn't even need a glance, let alone such hyper attention. Nationalism isn't something you should wear on your sleeves. Nationalism is as natural as maternal or paternal love, unless you try to force it, unless you try to make it more visible than feeling it.

I am not concerned if you go out on every other street and yell "Mera Bharat Mahaan hai" or maybe "Hindustan zindabad". That's awesome and you should go about it if that's your idea of nationalism but then don't force every other passerby to do that. That's not nationalism in any form. For the sake of nationalism itself, don't force individuals, your fellow countrymen to follow a certain conduct to express their nationalism.

Nationalism cannot be forced in form of a mandatory national anthem before a movie in a cinema hall; simplest logic being that it's probably

AT THE FRINGES OF NATIONALISMnot even the right environment to ignite a pure emotion as that. There has to be an occasion and a certain respect in environment to do that. Even if we agree to it, by what sick logic does it make sense to harass an individual for not standing up to the national anthem and more so if a person is differently abled. How's that nationalism? You choose to go against the law and order of the nation and call it nationalism. If you have issues, express it politely or complain at a police station. Nothing gives you the right to harass an individual.

People questioning nationalism today should realise that unity and peace are the most solicited weapons of nationalism. When individuals of a nation rise over petty issues, religion, race, caste and creed to address legit concerns such as growth and security of nation, then nationalism is apparent without having to be expressed explicitly. Any sort of violence against fellow countrymen, which unfortunately has become a phenomenon in our country today, doesn't signify nationalism especially if it is done in name of the nation. It is so because you are hurting a true asset of nation and disobeying the legal setup and constitutional values which is a worse form of disrespect than not standing for National Anthem or some other form of nationalism which runs on face value.

It's only important to end up with actual understanding of nat ional ism. I t is our responsibility as citizens of this nation to identify nationalism for its true meaning and stand up against anything which tries to run a false propaganda in its name or hurts anyone. True nationalism doesn't lie in defending the symbols of a nation; certainly not. True nationalism lies in defending actual assets of the nation i.e. its countrymen, its constitutional values and its materialistic assets.

A Bird in Golden Cage

Living in a golden cage,

It looks up in the sky and gaze

The shine and sheen are meaningless for it

It just wants to unfurl its wings.

Like her friends in the blue sky

it tries to recall how to y?

Her desire gleams in her eyes

Just wants to conquer the sky,

When will the moment come?

When it will be able to rise

And be with her friends and mates.

They all y high and come down

Sing and swim all the way round

Calling her an “insane clown”

everyday she prays to Him and

wishes for her freedom.

Breaking the boundaries and breaking the bars

it's the place where she can beyond vain or pain

and not be branded as a clown insane.

Rachna SharmaB.Sc. (Hons.) Food Technology, 2nd year

WOMAN IS BRAVEWoman is brave, she is a warrior, she is a ghter.

She'll fall, she'll rise even higher.

She'll touch the sky,

she'll chase the dreams brighter.

A supergirl, a superwoman, she can be all,

There's a lot in her power,

she just needs a chance,

Give her one, and she'll prove her stand.

She is unstoppable, she is invincible, and she is

the maker of the present and the future.

Respect her talent, let it nurture.

She is bold and strong,

even when things go wrong.

She was once a damsel in the dark, but now,

she is an uninching spark.

I am sorry...

To the days that have been scary,

To the nights that have been teary,

I am sorry that you failed.

Because here, I still stand strong.

To the fears that have tested me,

To the anxieties that have twinged me,

You failed too.

Because I stand here even after facing it all.

To the darkness that obscured my light,

To the evils who tried to stop me

from shining bright,

I am sorry that you failed.

Why?

Because I stand here like never before.

THE BEST WINTERS...

And the best days of the year were setting in,The much awaited warmth of the sun was all set

To relieve the shivering bodies from the frosty weather,The warm blankets and quilts were piled up, the rugs were being laid

On the cold oor, and the closet was now full of winter clothing-Sweaters, shrugs, long coats, caps, mufers and what not,

The replace was all prepared to relax with a cup of hot coffee,Since it was the onset of winters.

Next to the replace sat an old woman, who was aloof for twenty years now,The postman was on his way to deliver a letter

From her grandchildren whom she had never seen or met.The postman found it difcult to locate her house asAll were densely covered under the sheets of snow.

Today the door of that house knocked that merely had any visitors.The solitary old lady was shivering and opened the door with shaking hands,

Even though she wore multiple layers of woolens.

Reading the letter in front of the postman, her teary eyes expressed everything.A good news arrived this winter.

The cold-hearted son had abandoned her single mother, but these lovely wordsFrom her grandchildren gave her immense warmth in the biting cold.

Her dead soul today was awakened after years to hear about their homecoming.The isolated home would now enliven and there would be merrymaking,

Her numb hands were becoming cozier as she felt the warmth of the lovesome air,And her ailments would heal when those adorable children would hug her.

And it was a new dawn of winters setting in,She was so excited to meet them for the rst time,

Their maiden visit would make her motherly heart elated.Freezing cold and hazy night sky but the city is all decorated-Their homes and the driveways, roofs and gardens outshine.

Tonight lights, reindeer, sleighs, snowmen, Christmas trees, giftsPortray the festivity and the children eagerly awaited the Santa Claus

To ll their stockings with fascinating gifts and sweets.

It was the Christmas Eve and there was a knock at the door.Her grandchildren and their parents arrived, and a Santa Claus

Holding a stick and a bag full of gifts opened the door.The exhilarated children overjoyed with their grandma who disguised

Herself this way after so many long years and for the rst timeShe celebrated Christmas with them. It was a grand night.

Mouthwatering cake, sweets and pudding revived those oldHappy days. The reclusive grandma cheered up tonight.

|vfHkO;fDr 10

The family sat beside the bonre to narrate the long time pending storiesAnd embrace the beautiful memories, sinking the old lady in nostalgia.The children played with the snowballs and made beautiful snowman,

Nothing could comfort her in the biting cold as their tender love and care,The cold hearts melted, bringing in oodles of happiness in their home.

Nothing was frozen inside that place as there was eternal warmth,Chilling gales had settled, soothing heat of the sun entered the home,

Lovable hearts had a sound sleep in warm blankets….the best days had set in.

Camaraderie, it's that special bond one creates and tries to preserve with that one person whose presence completes you in a way; rather lls in a void that you never knew existed within you. The realisation of the existence of this bond takes place much later and hits you almost like gust of cold but pleasant breeze, interspersed with rays of sunlight, ltering through the blinds of nature aka the ominous clouds and it is in that moment when a myriad of heartfelt instances ash in front of your eyes leaving you ever grateful for these cherished happenstances. Blissful are these eeting visuals which encase you in this warm and fuzzy blanket that you would never want to take off, a feeling you don't ever want to be numb to, a sensation you want to hold on to forever.

I guess this the only bit of utopia you're allowed to experience in today's dystopia and lucky are those who are able to maintain the integrity of this delicate bond that too in a world where distances can be created at a moment ' s no t i ce , fue l l ed by f r ivo lous misunderstandings or sometimes by untimely absence. And it's the worst when it is a result of the latter because not only can it not be mended if the

CAMARADERIEAnd how it rendered me wistful

absence is prolonged but also it makes one enter a vicious cycle of self-doubt, sorrow and heart wrenching pain. Gaining perspective in this conundrum is almost like nding a needle in a haystack but doing so is the only way out and once one does, this is when he/she steps into a constant haze of wistfulness.

This chasm is irreparable, like a scar it never heals but it denitely stops paining after a while. What it really does for you is that it strengthens your soul and gives you the perseverance to overcome many of the upcoming undulating catastrophes that are about adorn your life.

I'm denitely not the rst and probably not the last person to say this but it is these intangible strings ,these not-so concrete relationships is what we strive for, a primal urge that should never be silenced by our inner critics. So here's to all the broken souls, there will never be an antidote to pain that haunts your subconscious but there is and there always will be hope.

TODAY WILL BE BETTER

She wakes up every morning,

In a hope that today will be better,

That something won't hurt her,

Like it did yesterday.

She walks out of home,

In order to pursue her dreams,

With a smile on her face,

Even if a part of her is broken within.

She does what it takes,

To be what she wants,

Fully determined and relentless,

She carries on.

Late at night when she goes to bed,

The other part of her awakens,

That pulls her back to where she left.

She stays calm but not for long,

So she dives into the fragile emotional state.

And then again,

She wakes up every morning,

In a hope that today will be better.

Portraying a Joyous Life

Like the chirping morning birds

Music heals your heart and brings it at peace,

soothing tunes reverberating through the mind;

Joy is all that you will nd.

Accepting challenges have their own pleasure,

winning them is like a treasure.

Choose the road not taken,

and new experiences will enlighten and awaken.

Do what your heart feels

and live up to your dream with zeal.

Love and happiness will make your boat sail,

Enjoy life like a fairytale.

Let us lie down together...

Let us lie down together

And gaze at the night sky,

The shimmering stars,

The enticing moonlight,

The setting in of the twilight,

The utter peace of the night,

The entire world in silence.

Let's embrace the soothing aura,

Let's erase the painful past,

Relive the present moment and

Erase the haze of tomorrow.

Hey beloved, hold my hand!

In the ickering nightlight,

Let the brightest star guide us,

As we extol each other's virtues,

Forgive and let's start once again.

Let's repaint the sky with glitters,

Let's put up glimmering stars,

Let us hang down uorescent lights,

Let's embellish with brilliance,

The sky so majestically and ablaze

With gleam of the Northern lights,

Let's embrace the beauty tonight,

Of the innities of the night sky.

Let us open our eyes wide open,

And our senses completely aware,

Let's gape at the dazzling sky,

Of this magical night tonight,

For this sight should never end,

For we lie down side by side,

With hands held together forever,

Lost in the greatest admiration,

Intoxicated by the deepest love,

Adoring the glint in your blue eyes.

Let the night be ours, only for us,

Let's bring this sight into the limelight.

Let's count the stars tonight,

Every time we start, we're lost

Into the innitude of the universe,

Or maybe we count each other,

Over and over again; for we're

Stars in making, outshining the rest.

Those deep conversations, and

The painting of the night sky;

Were we oblivious tonight?

Or was it a hallucination?

They both rested as on cloud nine,

Enraptured by the wondrous night!

‘Dig boy, dig’, shouted the English engineer, Mr W L Lake, at his men as they watched elephants emerging out of the dense forest with oil stains on their feet". This is possibly the most distilled – though fanciful – version of the legend explaining the siting and naming of Digboi.

A small town located in the upper Dihang valley, it houses the rst oil renery of Asia; second in the world (the rst being Pennsylvania, in the US).

India obtained its rst renery in the year 1901 and Assam Oil Company was formed in 1899 to look after the running of the oil business in this area. As of now, it is Headquarter of Assam Oil Division (AOD) of Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL).

With a signicant number of British professionals working for the Assam Oil Company until the decade following independence of India, Digboi has a well-developed infrastructure and a number of bungalows unique to the town. It has an eighteen holes golf course as part of the Digboi Club and also features guest houses and tourist residential apartments laid on Italian architectural plans to promote tourism in upper Assam. In addition to that, a great deal of the English lifestyle seeped into the local culture (be it club life or the lavish parties that are a common thing every other evening ), and produced a very beautiful conuence of two very distinct yet complementing cultures.

Digboi also houses a wide range of ora and fauna. From the rarest breeds of orchid to the most bizarre insect, you'll nd it all in this small little town. Elephants, pythons, king cobras, hornbills and deer are a few of the common animals which can be spotted early in the morning or after sunset. The other guests who visit the locals a bit less frequently include tigers, cheetahs, the small komodo, ying foxes and bears. The Dam-C lake also hosts some rare Russian avian species during thr icy winters. Waking up to the birds chirping, smelling some of the most exotic orchids to getting chased by wild elephants - nothing short of divine!

Apart from some of the famous tourist sites like the Second World War Cemetery or even the Oil Museum, Digboi is immensely famous for its Bar. Varnished entirely in wood and bamboo, it is reminiscent of the vintage 18th century bars of London housing some of the most expensive drinks from all over the world, the Russian Vodka and Bloody Mary being in vogue.

As a tourist, the best time to experience la magie de Digboi would be from the 21st of December to the 31st. To live, understand and fall in love with the British Social Life, this is a must!

I have been volunteering for “AOL Basic Needs” NGO for a while now. I believe it is one of the few ways by which I can full my passion to serve the society. All thanks to my bus pass, using which I can travel anywhere in Delhi and therefore be present wherever and whenever needed.

Once, when I was returning home, I came across an accident where a bus had hit a horse due to which its leg got injured. The horse couldn't walk. So, I reached out to the seniors of the NGO, with whom I worked and asked them if there was any way to help the poor animal. They assured me that they would look into the matter and asked me to leave for home as it was getting late.

Thereafter, I left for home from the NGO but I just couldn't go, so I stayed with the injured animal and made sure that it was safe.

Meanwhile, my seniors were trying to contact various NGOs that worked for animals, government animal hospitals, other animal shelters and also PETA, telling them about the accident. But unfortunately, each one of them just referred us to other organisations.

After an hour later, the senior came to the accident spot. Not expecting me to be there, he was surprised.

I explained to him that I just couldn't leave the creature and that it was becoming more imperative to call an ambulance.

So we again tried to contact for the help and nally succeeded. An ambulance arrived and the injured horse was given the needed medical aid.

This incident made me realise a very important thing, which is, that it doesn't matter whether you have enough money and resources, if you have the will to serve the society, nothing can stop you from doing so. In short where there is will, there is way.

THE BIG BANG UNCOVERED: A MESSAGE FROM THE DAWN OF TIME

Our universe is roughly 14 billion years old. Take a second to think about it. A billion. 1 followed by nine zeros. Nine. Fourteen times that number. That's a pretty long time it has been around, right?

So, what about the time before that? Did time even exist back then? How do we look at the big bang?

Well, telescopes, and essentially our eyes too, are an exquisite kind of a time machine. You already know how by observing stars we are looking at years past at the star's condition, and the light from the very same star is just now reaching us.

In this way, you may ask, can't we observe the big bang too? Indeed we can! Apparently, we have observed the universe just after the big bang. The catch is, though, that the universe then was obscured by large amounts of microwave radiation. This radiation, however gives us an invaluable insight into the workings of the early universe.

Over the past two decades, astronomers have been on a quest to peer into an epoch of cosmic history that has been simultaneously shrouded in darkness and obscured by too much light. The era of Cosmic Dawn, when the rst stars were born, their light cutting through the dense fog of ubiquitous neutral hydrogen and stray background photons, should be impossible to observe. Individual stars at that distance would never be visible, and neutral hydrogen absorbs starlight with astonishing efciency. The only hope is to try to see the neutral hydrogen itself, backlit by the cosmic microwave background and primed by starlight to absorb that radiation at a particular range of radio frequencies.

Unfortunately, radio waves are produced and used in and around innumerable places on Earth. Even our own galaxy, the Milky Way creates a radio noise so loud, picking up the tiny neutral hydrogen signal would be like trying to listen to the ap of the wings of a hummingbird, in a rock concert even then.

That is absolutely why the EDGES collaboration based in Australia has been working tirelessly

checking, rechecking, and making sure to produce only the most accurate results.

And after all this effort, they have a solid outcome. If conrmed, their signal, a jagged little absorption dip in a broad radio spectrum, is the most distant astronomical observation ever made, aside from the cosmic microwave background itself.

The downward dip, made by the stars, and the upward rise because of the black holes has been extensively studied. Curiously, the dip was found to be deeper than expected. This is alarming, and could only have two reasons.

First, the radiation was brighter than we thought. This could of course lead to a greater depth of the absorption curve. Second, and this is interesting, the gas was colder than we thought, thus absorbing more of the background light, which leaves only one candidate (colder than neutral Hydrogen): dark matter.

As some of you may know, dark matter is nothing but the 'hidden' matter responsible for the extra gravitational force of galaxies. However, dark matter has not physically been observed and does not interact with normal matter whatsoever, making its detection near-impossible.

This is what makes this discovery astounding. If dark matter can indeed cool a gas, it can interact with regular matter, taking us a step closer in understanding it. If this signal really is detecting a new kind of dark matter interaction, it's not only the rst conrmation of dark matter making its presence felt, it's also a magnicent conrmation that dark matter is a real, tangible component of the cosmos. In short, if this signal is what it looks like, it changes everything.

As awesome as it sounds though, let's just take it with a grain of salt.

THE MOST MYSTERIOUS STAR IN THE UNIVERSE

Space. Space has been on everyone's mind recently, thanks to the (successful) launch of SpaceX's long term project, the Falcon Heavy rocket. Although Elon Musk's ridiculous “space antics” were fun, it truly showcased the power potential of private players in the interplanetary space travel market. Also, it's good to see how time ies; ISRO's Chandrayaan 2 is scheduled to take off in the next month or two and the mission plans to place a rover on the surface of Mars. If successful, India will become the 4th country ever to achieve this milestone. That would really put us on the map, wouldn't it? If it already hasn't, that is.

All right, the star in question for today's discussion is KIC 8462852. Boring name, yes, but you know how astronomy works, right? This particular star is located roughly 1500 light years away from Earth and was discovered using data from the Kepler Space Telelscope, built exclusively to nd exoplanets. And who discovered it? Citizen scientists like you and me, of course! Interestingly, there is a citizen science project (dubbed 'Planet Hunters', look it up!) aimed to do just that. People from all over the world volunteer and sift through enormous amounts of data to nd these exquisite bodies in the uncharted heavens.

Here's how it works:

The Kepler telescope is made to investigate a designated patch of sky. It observes the stars in that patch for days, months, even years at a time. When a planet that goes around a particular star crosses against the face of the star, it casts a small but noticeable shadow in the incident starlight. This dip in the brightness of the star can be measured a n d t h e n a n a l y s e d t o d e t e r m i n e t h e features/characteristics of said planet. The telescope is currently responsible for the discovery of a couple of thousands of these planets in space.

In May 2009, something exactly like this happened. People around the world noticed a dip in the brightness of a star they were observing. Pretty usual stuff, except it was not. The dip was about 0.5%, which was pretty normal, but it lasted for

four days, which was not. Typically, the dips last for hours at most. So this was unusual.

The news reached the professionals in no time. They veried the claims and found the data to be correct but astounding.Hours upon hours were spent on just rechecking the incoming information, but there was no mistake. This was real. In June 2009, astronomer Tabetha Boyajian, who in fact, started the citizen scientist project, was completely taken aback by this bizarre astrophysical occurrence. A post-doctoral fellow at Yale, she and one of her colleagues pored over huge amounts of data, crunched numbers and nally determined that they had seen nothing like this before and maybe this could be a big discovery.

This is what happened. There were not only long periods of dips for the star in question, but the dips were weird. The dips were asymmetrical. Typically, because of the near symmetrical shape of the planet, the dimming is symmetric too, a U-like shape, as you can see in the following infographs.

33

In the diagrams on the previous page, one can see how a dip in brightness can tell an astronomer the exact kind of planet or debris in transit around it. The case in hand, however, was far from it.

The following are the ux (light energy per unit area) vs. time graphs for KIC 8462852:

Usually, planets revolve around a star and come to the same spot in their orbit after a xed amount of time, and so the dips occur after a xed time interval. This was not the case with this star, though. As you can see, the graph is irregular and the brightness dips did not occur at regular intervals. The patterns continued like this until the star returned to an indenite period of regular brightness.

Then, two years later, in March 2011, Kepler recorded a huge dip in the brightness of KIC 8462852 which was unprecedented because see, a big planet as Jupiter (and planets don't get big as Jupiter, believe me) records a 1% dip in the graph when passing in front of the Sun. This time though, KIC 8462852 recorded a whopping 15% brightness dip! Like in 2009, the dip was again asymmetric, and lasted a week before slipping back to normal. This pattern repeated for a few days and then the star went 'silent' again.

Over the years, the exoplanet continued to produce inexplicably irregular dips which scientists could not make head nor tail of. Boyajian and her team published a paper titled 'Where's The Flux?' in 2015 detailing their ndings. This put the astronomical community in a tizzy to explain the

phenomenon somehow. Several explanations were proposed. These included the star being a proto-planetary disc, or a planet-forming newborn star. The proto-planetary disc could explain the irregular dips as heavy chunks of solid matter revolve around a nucleus of a newly formed star. There was one catch though. Tabby's star (as it came to be known, after Tabetha) wasn't a newborn star. More explanations were put forward, like it being a variable star and that its brightness changed irregularly itself. But this was also proved wrong by the same argument as the rst one.

34

More explanations followed, but none could provide a solid reason as to why the dips acted the way they did. Boyajian concluded in her paper by saying that a swarm of comets were passing by in the vicinity of the star which were causing these dips, and that actually was the most likely cause of this. Everyone though, including Boyajian, were sceptical of this explanation, since to observe this level of dimming, there would have to an unthinkable amount of comets at the same pace and the same time, which was highly unlikely.

Of course with all things space-y, there's always an alternative (and interesting!) explanation, and that explanation didn't come too late after the discovery. In 2014, John Wright, a Penn State astronomer, who was already infatuated with alien megastructures built to harvest energy, proclaimed that what we were witnessing was not an exoplanet, but a Dyson sphere.

For all the astronomy noobs here who don't already know what a Dyson sphere is, here's the rundown. Suppose you have a star in your vicinity, and want to extract as much energy from the star as possible. How would you do it? Surround it with solar panels, of course! Well, as ridiculous as it may sound, that is actually the central idea behind a Dyson sphere.

Proposed by renowned astrophysicist Freeman Dyson, a Dyson sphere is a mega structure completely or partially surrounding a star and comprising of energy harvesters a la solar panels to rake in most of the star's energy. It is a thought experiment and can be spotted more in sci- than in real life. This is what a Dyson sphere might actually look like, if we are actually able to afford such an undertaking.

What you see in the picture above is a more practical variant of the Dyson sphere called the Dyson swarm. Instead of completely enclosing the star, the Dyson swam is a complex network of autonomous solar panels revolving around the star in predetermined orbits. This, apparently, saves costs and is easier to construct. Heads up, wannabe engineers! You've got a hell of a job ahead of you. (I feel like I may have struck a nerve there. Sorry.)

Coming back to the topic at hand, though the Dyson sphere/swarm was a pretty plausible and fascinating theory, as it could actually explain the irregular dips, astronomers weren't quite sold on it. They wanted proof.

We still aren't any closer to nding any. To be capable of building a Dyson sphere, an alien civilisation would have to be much advanced than our own. In terms of the Kardashev scale, the civilisation would atleast have to be Type II, which means it would be capable of harnessing the whole energy output of its star. Currently, our civilisation is a measly Type 0, meaning we can't even harness the whole energy of our planet, let alone a star. Pity us.

Many more attempts were made to explain the phenomena, but none stuck. SETI(Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence), the organisation responsible to nd intelligent life outside Earth, even pointed its radio telescopes towards the star, in hope of receiving a signal, but to no avail.

Another interesting fact is that Tabby's star is actually experiencing a long-term dimming. Astronomers dug up old observational data from over 100 years ago, and found the star has decreased in brightness over the years for as much as about 20%. And even that hasn't been consistent, as it has increased on a few occasions, for short periods of time, further adding to the mystery.

Well, after all this, we can surely conclude that there's denitely something shy going on. What it is, we don't know. But when we do, it's gonna be one hell of a discovery. Or maybe not.

The club organises various activities through the year to invite the thoughts of young minds on so-cially relevant issues. This year, the debate club organised an intra-college declamation competition on the topic “Today's India Vs New India in Making” on 16th October 2017, on account of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam's 86th birth anniversary. The best speaker was Ayush Upadhyay from B.Sc. (Hons.) Microbiology I year.

An InterCollege Debate competition was organised by Conanza, on the topic 'Idle bystanders are responsible for corruption, more than the system itself' on 3rd November 2017. In the event, entries from nine teams from the different Colleges of Delhi University, and Indraprastha University were received. The members spoke vehemently on the issue and put forth their strong arguments for and against the motion. The judges got deeply en-grossed in the ideas of the students and were extremely appreciative of the performance of the students. Having participated in the competition, all the students felt that there is an urgent need for both the system and the general public to come together to ght Corruption and prevent the system from being completely jeopardised. The rst prize was bagged by Ms. Pooja Gupta and Mr. Udaat Malik of Bhaskaracharya College of Applied Sciences whereas the II prize went to Vatsal Chaudhary and Abhimanyu Singh of Sri Aurobindo College.

1. The research: It all begins with the topic in front of you. Research is the basis of a debater. Get to know the topic inside out. Do not conduct research just to write a speech. Write a 5,000-word essay and then reduce it down to the designated amount of time.

2. Focusing on the outliers: Everyone can talk about the main aspects of a debate. The thing is, almost every time, those aspects will lead to a crossre with no visible result. Is a draw good enough? Nope. Focus on the obscure possibilities, that no one has the eye to observe. No one but you, use them wisely and differentiate yourself from others.

3. Grind yourself before you grind the opposition: Debating is a lot like giving a speech, but it is different in the fact that your speech needs to be inuential, not just understandable. So, the slightest hint of hesitation will draw the crowd away from you. Practice like your life depends on it. Stand in front of a mirror and give the same speech to yourself at least 10 times in a row without a fumble. Counter your points with interjections or ask others to do so. You do not want to be surprised on the stage, believe me.

4. The semantic domination: Words are devastating weapons. They are versatile and can have a hundred different interpretations depending on your point of view. Abuse that characteristic of a language. Dene the topic in your way and weave a convoluted web of words that no one can nd their way out of unless they have your mental map.

5. Scoring points: Diction, uency, vocabulary, material and interjections are the standards that you are scored on as far as conventional debates are concerned. Fluency is the hardest part, one little hiccup, bye bye trophy. But do not worry. We have the material and vocabulary part down based on the above points. Diction is subjective based on the types of judges, so out of our control really. Interjections now. Basically questions, right? No. This is your chance to make the person in front of you stumble! Ask them a conundrum, not just a

question. A conundrum which makes people question themselves, not the topic. You shake their foundations with a question, you might catch the eye of the people before you are even up on that stage.

6. Interjections galore: One small tip for in ter jec t ions , speak your own point or interpretation before asking the real question. In an interjection you are allowed to ask just one question, however, if you provide your own thoughts rst, you will do 2 things: one, you will destroy the ow of your opponent by making them think about your motion, and second, you will make them answer not only your question, but also make them provide a retort to the interpretation you provided, for if they answer only the question, it shall be incomplete and your job is done. An incomplete answer? Well done Mr. opponent, I'll see you in the crowd while I collect my prize.

7. From start to nish, your decorum is your best chance of winning: An air of condence around you, an indomitable aura with a tinge of nervousness and a mind which is LOCKED IN! Nothing should ow inside your brain except ideas on how to perform perfectly and how to crush the opposition. If you won't do it, better believe others who are doing it already have the upper hand. Do not go in there thinking that you will have a conducive discussion, not at all! That is enjoying a debate, not winning one. If you want to win, show yourself and others that killer instinct, put them on the backfoot and rumble your way to absolute victory.

The Golden Ratio: The Myth That Won't Go AwayMost of the people are aware of 'pi', but

hardly many people unfamiliar with

the eld of mathematics are aware of

an equally special number, 'phi', or the

Golden Ratio. Two numbers, a and b,

where a is greater than b, are said to be

in the golden ratio if the ratio of a to b is

equal to the ratio of the sum of the two

numbers to a. This ratio, similarly to pi,

is irrational, and is equal to the value

1.618034. Described by Johannes

Kepler as one of the “two great

treasures of geometry” (the other

being the Pythagoras theorem), what

makes this number special is its appearance in unexpected places in both mathematics and the real world.

Being the solution to the equation x2+x=1, this ratio is also connected to the infamous Fibonacci series. A

Fibonacci series is one where every term is the sum of the previous two terms, and it is found that a series

with terms as the ratios of the terms of the Fibonacci series to the previous term converges to the golden

ratio. Phi seems to be embedded in the pentagon-pentagram structure as deeply and beautifully as pi relates

to circle-diameter geometry. Many people who might not be familiar with the golden ratio might still

recognise the Golden Spiral, which is a logarithmic spiral whose arms grow further apart by a factor of phi

for every quarter turn it makes. Phi appears repeatedly in many unexpected places. Artists aware of its

signicance use it in their art, modern architects and designers keep it in mind while designing, and even

plastic surgeons use it, fascinated by the presumption that the golden rectangle is considered aesthetically

pleasing, and that people with proportions in the golden ratio are generally more attractive. Of course,

there's not much concrete proof to these claims, with all these claims being based on subjective matters. In

popular media, the golden ratio has been labelled as the epitome of perfection and beauty. That is where the

myths related to the golden ratio come in, having been so widely spread that the few who know about its

existence believe them to be true. It is falsely believed that everything in nature naturally follows the

golden ratio, making it the 'divine ratio'. People ignorant enough even go as far as to claim it as being proof

of God's existence. Most of the 'evidence' of the golden ratio being a rule of nature is simply false. There are

too many pictures on the internet with the golden spiral superimposed on them, claiming there to be a

relation where there is not. The golden ratio has been so overly misrepresented that it has become difcult

to distinguish the precise t from plain coincidence, with majority hyping up the wrong aspect of it simply

because it sounds interesting. The golden ratio is still very important, with wonderful applications in

mathematics and geometry, but it is important to not believe unproven claims simply due to a desire to nd

a connection between mathematics and the real world.

With the aim of inculcating values of Mahatma

Gandhi in youth and to revive the spirit of love,

truth and non-violence, several activities were

organized by Gandhian study Center of the

college.

To celebrate Gandhi Jayanti, Gandhian Study Center organized an essay competition on the topic “GANDHIAN PHILOSHOPHY/ गांधीजी के िस�ांत” on September 27, 2017. This allowed the youth to express their views and relate to the Gandhian Philosophy.

A Poster making competition on the topic “Swachh Bharat Swasth Bharat” was organised on November 08, 2017. We have not been able to fully realise the dream of cleanliness even after so many years of independence. Bharat was a Swachh mission dreamt by Mahatma Gandhi. He had said, “Cleanliness and sanitation are integral to a healthy life.” Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is now a cleanliness campaign run by the government of India and initiated by our Honorable Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi. This is a serious campaign started by the Government of India to clean and sanitize the country with various programs. It is a very important issue that students must understand and provide leadership in.

Gandhian Study Centre in association with Gender Sensitisation Cell of the college organized a lecture on the topic “नारी सशि�करण म � गांधीजी का योगदान” on 02 February, 2018 by Mr. Ramesh Chand Sharma ( Gandhi Peace Foundation ). The speaker shared his views on Role of Mahatma Gandhi in empowering women. Mr. Ramesh Chand Sharma also released the logo of Gandhian study center.

Gandhian philosophy is not merely a philosophy, but infact , a way of life itself, bound by moral and ethical principles, committed to ensure equality, freedom of all kinds, secularism and civil justice among all across the globe. But the salient and the most fascinating feature of this philosophy is that, to achieve the above mentioned goals, the approach which is used is known as Non-violence or 'Ahimsa', making it one-of-its kind approach.

Another inuential aspect of this philosophy is that this philosophy is certainly against any kind of “majoritarianism”. Whether on the grounds of religion, ideological afliates or any other reason, Gandhi was against majoritarianism of all kinds. Therefore, when Gandhi was accused of being MUSLIM-APOLOGIST, after partition in 1947, Gandhi rmly replied,

“Yes I am Muslim-supporter in India and at the same time, a Hindu-supporter too, in Pakistan”

This sole idea of anti- majoritarianism can be called the essence of Gandhi's life and therefore is the most signicant idea of Gandhian-Philosophy. Whether, it was south-Africa, where, he rose against racism, be it for Hindus who were being brutally killed in Noa khali (now, in Bangladesh), or for Muslims in the rest of India, in he always stood for weak.

Gandhian Philosophy is also about “SWARAJ”.

Gandhi always emphasized on the idea of “Poorn Swaraj” or “complete freedom” free from all kinds of barriers like casteism, racism, etc….As per the Gandhi population lies in the rural villages and it is their upliftment, which can lead India to a brighter future only.

Gandhian philosophy is also a promoter of “SWADESHI” substantiated by the Boycott British movement, ignited by Gandhiji. Gandhi, himself was an ambassador of CLEANLINESS & HYGIENE, always giving intense emphasizing on the SWATCH BHARAT. He used to clean the toilets by himself of without any hesitation reecting his mindset of clean India and his approach against the patriarchal society, rampant in India ever today.

The most vibrant and bold aspect of Gandhian philosophy is SECULARISM. Gandhi insisted on the exercise of self-introspection regarding every issue and secularism was certainly one of those issues. Gandhiji's belief in secularism is substantiated by the fact belief organized by Gandhiji, a SANATANI HINDU, consisted of Bhajans, verses of Quran, bible and all other religious scriptures giving a strong message in favour of secularism.

This philosophy is also against the rampant patriarchal society, not allowing the 50% of population i.e. females to grow and prosper in their lives. Gandhian idea pushes for the gender equality across the globe in every eld.

And to achieve all the above mentioned aspirations of an independent society the central tool is SATYAGRAH OR AHIMSA, making this idea not just a philosophy but rather a true way to life and prosperity.

Dr. Geeta Bhatt(TIC, Department of Instrumentation)

It is often said that no branch of scientic learning can shape its success without mathematics; it is a tool which gives accuracy and predictability to any scientic determination. Conscious of this signicance, it was felt desideratum that Department of mathematics be an integral part of identity to College, thus it was established in the year 1995. Department of mathematics offers general elective papers in mathematics to all the courses in the college.

Department of mathematics being centre of academic and co-curricular activity has organised following events successfully:

1. Workshop organised on “Mathematics Beyond Theoretical Perspective” on 25/8/17 where the students have participated enthusiastically and given presentation.

2 A talk organised on “Power of Habits” on 26/10/2017 by HG Amogh Lila Das (Vice President of ISKCON, Dwarka).

3 Celebrated “Bhasakaracharya Day” with Bhaskaracharya Cell on 8/02/2018. On this auspicious day, lectures were delivered by Prof. S. C. Arora (Former HOD, Department of Mathematics, DU) and Dr. Anuradha Gupta (Associate Professor, DCAC). In the last, winners of Sudoku and quiz competitions were awarded prizes.

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICSThe department keeps organizing invited talks and lectures of eminent personalities of the country from scientic domain. In the wake of that, Physics Society of the department, operating as a 'hub and spoke' system of liaising with faculties and delivering careers education within teaching programmes, had invited Dr. Dinesh Ganotra, Associate Professor at Indira Gandhi Delhi Technological University for Women (IGDTU) to deliver a lecture on “MATLAB” on September 07, 2017. Students gained comprehensive and conceptual understanding of various aspects of MATLAB programming. The basic concepts of various features of MATLAB like variables, arrays, conditional statements, loops, functions, and plots were explained to the students in details. The talk, tagged as mini workshop, intended to make the students use MATLAB in their own work and be prepared to deepen their programming skills and tackle other languages like SCILAB for computing.

Department of Physics frequently organizes scientic visits as events to refresh the minds of budding physicists and scientists of tomorrow by providing them with the required exposure to real and ongoing scientic research and methods along with the theoretical knowledge disseminated in the class rooms.

In continuation of this, the department organized a students' visit to National Physical Laboratory on its open day Sept 28, 2017. Scientic advancements in the areas of material science, atomic physics, and environment science were demonstrated in various laboratories of NPL premises along with the gadgets used to perform and measure the required task. The students visited Nanodevice Research Lab, SQUID Magnetometer Lab, Superconducting materials Lab, Spectral Radiance Measurement Facility, Timing and Frequency Standards Group, and Energy Harvesting Group. During this event the students also got an opportunity to learn the working of particle and beam accelerators. The visit concluded by learning various techniques of the development of bio-sensors.
