I personally believe the implementation of GST was a good initiative for India. Before

GST the government officials took advantage of the people when it came to taxation,

but after GST the system is stabilised. -Nain Pherwani; BBA Retail Management

I feel that GST is just another way to take people's hard earned money out of their

pockets and into the pockets of the government. It's a scam. -Sanjana Rawat, Bsc. Beauty and Wellness

Is the implementation of GST a good initiative for India?

There is a high chance for a nuclear war, because the situation between the two

nations (USA and DPRK) is dicey. Both the nations own powerful nuclear war heads

and are at continuous disagreement with each other.-Gagan Singh Chandok; B. Tech. Mech. A

There is next to no chance for a nuclear war in the future as the main contenders

(USA and DPRK) are led by nothing but two attention seeking clowns. -Bahul Chandwani, BBA Logistics

What is the likelihood of a nuclear war?

Out of the 20 people who were interviewed, only 5 to 7 students knew about the

LGBTQ+ community and their struggles. After making them aware about the

LGBTQ+ community, everyone expressed that the government should recognise the

rights of the community.FYI- LGBTQ+ is a community that comprises of people who

do not come under the heterosexuals' category nor the gender confines of Male and

Female. -Students' Opinion

LGBTQ+ should not get rights as it is against the Law of Nature and goes against

every chromosome of Indian culture. -Anonymous.

General consensus amongst the students is that, even though Swachh Bharat

Abhiyaan was a good initiative, it has been highly unsuccessful at a national level.-Students' opinion

Even though it may seem that Swachh Bharat Abhiyaa has been unsuccessful,

when national Icons like PM Modi and Sachin Tendulkar make the effort to get

their hands dirty and clean the surrounding, it motivates the regular individual

making it a potential success in the long run. - Abhijit Doke, BBA Logistics

Has Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan been a successful venture?

Should the Government of India recognise the rights of LGBTQ+ community?

B.Arch.-SitevisittoPuneUniversityforsketching

Students of First year B. Arch were taken to Savitribai Phule Pune University for site visit. They sketched different components of historic buildings of the university campus. This rigorous study helped them identify and nomenclate the type of masonry used for the construction, components of building and draw neat sketches of the campus. They were also taught all the joinery details on site and they made a detailed report about this visit.

BBAStudents'VisittoKSHDistriparkThe Students of BBA Ports and Terminal Management and Logistics and Supply Chain Management and B.Arch. were exposed to the real world of Import and Export when they visited KSH Distripark. Distriparks that included the three main branches of Distripark operations i.e.

Import Procedure and Storage Export Procedure and Storage Yard Operations

The students were then taken to the field to gain the first-hand experience of how the Distriparks operate. This was a great exercise to promote the application based learning by practically showing how theory concepts apply in the industry. Furthermore, this is what set SSOU one step above other Universities

e all are always told to by our doctors, nutritionists and fitness trainers to work out daily. It's very Wgood and healthy for our body. It helps us sleep well, get energy and feel pumped up

throughout the day, reduce the risk of heart disease etc. It also helps to reduce the risk of

conditions like hypertension, osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes and colon cancer. People who want to reduce

weight go on a well-planned diet and exercise. But if anyone tries to work out with a diet plan and starves

themselves, the result is going to be the opposite of what they expect. Instead of losing fat, it will increase

and the muscle percentage will decrease. We all know that exercise is good for us but we need to

understand how much intensity our body can tolerate.

A study conducted byDr. Jeffry Towbin and his team shows that endurance exercise or high intensity

exercise can have severe consequences. The study published in the American Journal of Physiology- Heart

and Circulatory Physiology; shows the effects of high intensity exercise on arrhythmogenic ventricular

cardiomyopathy (AVC). AVC is a rare disorder, which can cause sudden cardiac death during an intense

exercise, and it wouldn't show any symptoms until the person collapses. It is a genetic disorder that affects

the structural integrity of the heart wall. There have been many cases in which people collapsed in gyms

after the work out training. We have also seen some cases where some active youth were affected by this

condition. So we always have a question why and how does this happen? It is very important for all of us to

know our bodies, how much food our body can take, how much physical exercise our body can handle.

Anything in excess is harmful anything too low is harmful. It is very important to keep everything in control

in order to live a healthy life. Often when people work out way too much there is a feeling of dizziness,

nausea and headache. Obsessive exercise is not healthy; working out just to get in shape and look good is

harmful. One should work out to be healthy and increase strength. Our heart is affected if we don't do it the

right way. Study has shown that regular exercise can prevent most types of heart diseases- including

sudden cardiac arrest. A sudden cardiac arrest due to a structural or electrical problem with the heart,

dehydration, a serious potassium imbalance, magnesium or other minerals in the blood, an inherited

condition or blow to the chest. A heart attack may not necessarily be fatal, but it can trigger malfunction of

hearts electrical system and might lead to heart arrest and death. In most of these cases the hearts lower

chambers beat fast and chaotically, a condition known as ventricular fibrillation. Circulation stops and

death occurs. The heart disease often gives warning signs, like feeling dizzy, chest pain, difficulty in

breathing, or feeling more drained than usual, then call your doctor and ask for help.

It is very important for an individual to know their body. Exercise is good for the body and the heart.

Knowing the limit is also very important, what is not good for the heart is high intensity exercise that it can't

tolerate. It depends on an individual how much load can their bodies carry. Stop when your body gives you

signals. Obsessive exercise will never give right results, work out to get fitter. Eating the right food before

and after workout is also essential. Exercise will make the heart stronger if we do it the right way knowing

the limit.

CanyoupreventagingwithVitaminC?

Richa MagaviB.Sc. Beauty and wellness

Do you want to be young forever? Need to ward off wrinkles or the

signs of aging skin?

Vitamin C is one step solution to all your queries. It not only prevents aging

through its antioxidant properties but also wards off oxidative stress and

keep your cells happy, healthy and functioning well. An October 2007 study

published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people

who ate foods rich in vitamin C had fewer wrinkles and less age-related dry

skin than those whose diets contained only small amounts of the vitamin C.

Aging is caused mainly due to oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is caused by

free radicals which can damage cell structures, hair loss and greying.

Vitamin C is thought to help fend off this aging process of hair and support

fuller hair. Taking Vitamin C on a regular basis can also help to improve your mood and reduce anxiety. Vitamin C is

not only beneficial for maintaining healthy skin but it also helps to repair and regenerate tissues, protect against

heart disease, aid in the absorption of iron, prevent scurvy, and decrease LDL or bad cholesterol and triglycerides.

Supplemental vitamin C may also lessen the duration and symptoms of a common cold, help delay or prevent

cataracts, and support healthy immune function.

Vitamin C happens to be water-soluble, which means your body does not store it for a longer time. According to

ICMR guidelines 2017 the minimum recommended amount for adults is about 40mg/day. Hence we need to take it

regularly in our diet. A daily intake of common food citrus foods lemon, orange, bitter gourd, cabbage Amla, kiwi, are

a reliable way to make sure you get your C’s. Hence take a variety of fruits and vegetables every day and fulfil your

requirement for Vitamin C every day.

1. Walk, when conversing on the phone.

2. Use the stairs, instead of using the elevator.

3. While working, take short breaks and during those

breaks step away from your work station.

4. When at home you can do simple exercises like sit-ups,

push-ups, lunges, etc.

5. Food:-

Ÿ Instead of consuming starch food, eat more whole grain food,

which contains more fibre.

Ÿ Stock up nuts and seeds or citrus fruits that are known to care

fatigue and stimulate alertness, and snack on those when you

feel hungry in the middle of the day.

Ÿ Eat smaller meals throughout the day rather than three big meals.

Ÿ Avoid packaged or processed food that contains a lot of sugar.

Ÿ Have sufficient liquids throughout day to avoid dehydration.

RENDEZVOUS“...InnovationistheFoundingPillarforEntrepreneurship”

How would you like to promote Innovation?

Basically, Innovation is “know how vs. know why.” If one

has a habit of asking “know why”, I think this is the first

step towards Innovation. In short, Innovation is like a

game of chess. When one plays chess, one expects the

opponent to make couple of moves that are certain. If he

makes some other move, than the expected ones, one

must have their alternative ready. Creating alternatives, is

also a way to give rise to creativity and innovation. The

most important step in Innovation is Problem Solving.

Earlier, Innovation was considered as God's gift. But, that

is not true…, the gift of Innovation can be trained and

acquired.

Your tips for an Aspiring Entrepreneur!

Innovation is the founding pillar for entrepreneu-rship.

Secondly, it is looking out for opportunities. Thirdly, the

ability to take risk. These three factor when put together

can give rise to entrepr-eneurship. In my initial days,

before starting my own company, I worked for few years

to get a fair idea about Human Resource (HR) and the

commercial field. I believe that knowledge of HR is more

important than money in any entrepreneurship.

What is the Praj- Gevo project all about?

It is a joint development agreement with an American

company, where we adopt their technology as per our

requirement. .

We follow the ideology of making every

student industry ready at SSOU. What are

your suggestions in that aspect?

It is important to teach students, the concepts of

costing, i.e. value of time and behavioural science.

Knowing how much their time is worth, they can

charge the right rates accordingly. Especially, in

service oriented courses like B.Sc. Behavioural

Science and Costing, this will help a person grow

along with skills and knowledge. These concepts will

assist in entrepreneurship and self-employment

ventures.

How much does a student's score matter

while hiring?

It depends if you are seeking employment, or if one is

hiring a graduate, who is fresh out of school,

definitely marks become usually the starting point if

scores are not taken into accounts than for screening,

it is impossible. The interview is followed by Group

Discussion (GD) and a Personal Interview (PI). If you

are already employed and seeking opportunity in

other organisation, then we check the achievements

of the candidates, their experience, level of

commitments and the add-on value they will bring to

our organisation. After these procedures, a candidate

is selected.

n his recent visit to SSOU, he interacted

and shared his experiences with the

students on how to move forward in life and

make every opportunity count.

Interview was conducted by Bahul Chandwani, BBA Logistics and Pranjali Maheshwari, School of Architecture

LandscapeArchitectwithaPhilosophy.......

What determined your passion for design? Tell

us about the moment when you decided this

was the way to go. I think every kid’s hero is their dad and for me my

superhero is my father. He used to work as a civil

engineer in the designing department of PWD of the

State. Our house used to be filled with some interesting

and creative books on designs. I remember the time,

when he was engaged in a project on Bridges in Mumbai.

That was the time, when I chanced upon a collection of

books on bridges of the world. I was drawn to the

colourful pictures as it fascinated me a lot. That’s how,

my interest piqued. As I grew older, my fascination

developed into my passion and that’s how I decided to

turn my passion into my profession.

Any experience you would like to share about

your college days?In those days, things were quite different. We were more

focussed in our studies and quite oblivious to whatever

was happening in the outside world. But my perspective

changed when I landed in Pune for 180 days of

professional training. That was the time, when I met

Ar.Girish Doshi. He introduced me to the world of

contemporary architecture and design. I realized that

there was so much to learn and gather knowledge about

this particular domain. I wanted to pursue my masters in

some specialization in Design.

Your perspective about an ideal smart city, say

for example, Pune.Describing an ideal smart city isn’t easy. Pune, the

Peshwa city is still burgeoning and there is humungous

development in all the different sectors. For Pune to

become a smart city, I feel we need to adhere to the

Gandhian ideas of development which are more apt

even in today’s time. Infact, smart cities should be

much smaller settlements having a balanced

relationship with surrounding nature. The city should

be able to self-sustain.

What makes your work stand out from others?The language of landscape is expressed many times by

the fundamentals of basic design. Like mentioned

earlier, minimalism, simplicity and strong sense of

space are the key factors, applied strongly in the

medium of Landscape. I think that’s what makes it so

special! But architecture has a very strong three

dimensional objects like masses that are easy to

perceive ,but difficult to achieve in Landscape- so the

job is tougher. Also, with changing times, Architecture

may wear out but the Landscape space will intensify

and transform itself.

What keeps you motivated? Every project comes with a distinctive requirements

that demands different solutions. The major setback

that I've had with goals was actually achieving them.

But in reality it's not the goal that keeps you motivated

for the long term, it's more about how you feel about

the impact of reaching those goals and being able to

reconnect with that reason daily.

How can one become a successful architect?Aspiration to create, dedication, hardwork ,

perseverance, patience and sensitivity are some of the

key factors towards building a successful career in

Architecture.

n a tete-a tete, landscape architect IUmesh Wakaley speaks about how he

changed his passion into his profession

Ar. Umesh Wakaley has made a name for himself for his

innovative and practical designs in Pune. He champions a new

understanding of landscaped architecture and the built

environment. While designing, he sees the urban fabric as an

interweaving of human activity, natural forces and designed

settings and buildings.

f you're a technophobe, you are probably wary of the Irapid way that technology has taken over our world. In

current scenario, technology seems to have its control

in every part of our life. We, probably think that giving up

on technology is the best thing for us. Well, maybe we just

need a few reasons why becoming technologically

advanced is beneficial. Take for instance –Vue. It is

currently a rage in the market! At a first glance, these

glasses appear to simply be a standard pair of spectacles.

It is the world's first pair of smart glasses that are stylish

and discreet. Available in two variants- 'classic' and

'trendy', both can be fitted with sunglasses, plain or

prescription lenses. Do not forget to check the crafty frame

that can perform a wide range of functions using a built-in

microphone and bone conduction speakers.

What makes Vue stand apart are its interesting features

like track you activity that helps to track your steps,

calories and distance, hands-free calls to stay connected,

get notified about incoming texts and emails and so on.

Not only that, you can use bone conduction audio

technology to transfer stereo sound to your inner ear

without the use of earbuds. Your ears remain

unplugged, so you can listen to music, answer calls, and

hear notifications all from your glasses. Vue ensures

you're safe whether you're a pedestrian, cyclist or driver.

And, you can do all this with a convenient touch

interface embedded into the arm of the frames.

The size of Vue is 3.7V 90 mAh and is made of Lithium

Polymer. The other components are 2-3 days standby

time on a single charge (one can talk non-stop for 5

hours without a break in the conversation) and Stereo

bone conduction speakers- that has frequency range of

20–20,000 Hz. Besides that, Vue also has 6-axis

accelerometer and gyroscope, Infrared proximity

sensor, 5 field capacitive touch pad and blue tooth is

compatible with all devices. It is also rain, splash and

sweat-resistant.

So, if you are planning to buy yourself a pair of trendy

specs… you know what to opt for.

and there are stories that you may

have seen, faced or been through

yourselves. Wise & Otherwise is a

book that will give the flip side of

the coin in different situations of

life. She, very simply puts forth

incidences that will move you and

will make you stop and wonder of

how varied people in the world can

be.

Talking some, There are few stories,

which really touche your heart like-

a middle age man dumps his aged

father in an old-age home, a tribal

chief in the Sahyadri hills teaches

the author that there is humility in

receiving too, a sick woman

r e m e m b e r s t o t h a n k h e r

b e n e f a c t o r e v e n f ro m h e r

deathbed and a student who

shows his gratitude to the author

after receiving help from her in his

bad time.

I thought that the author basically

tried to tell the things only from the

women's point of view, which I

believe most of the time are not

true in the real life, like husband

supporting his mother then of his

wife and a doctor who forgets the

help which he received from the

author and treats her like any other

patient - are the few stories that

portray the negative side of a man

in the book.On the whole - 'Wise

And Otherwise - A Salute To Life' is

a fair, one time read in gap which

brings many of us face to face with

some of the Indian middle class

and lower middle class problems.

ise & Otherwise – A

WSalute to Life by

Sudha Murthy is a

book that you'd always want to

keep by your side all through

your journey in life. The title of

the book is so apt that each story

will make you think wise and

otherwise. Mrs. Murthy, as

simple as she is, her stories are

from her experiences while

working for Infosys Foundation. I

started reading the book with

great enthusiasm hoping to

learn something different about

the Indian author and their take

on life. To the great extent the

book interested me to read but

after flipping a few of the pages, I

realized that it is mostly a one

sided stories that deal with social

problems which most of us

ignore in our day – to-day life.

Her stories in the book are about

3 – 4 pages each, mind you there

are 50 odd stories, which are

different from each other. They

present a moral or message that

you will easily relate to.

There are stories that you will

remember for the rest of your life

PASSION - O - GRAPHYAneedtochange

and failures go hand in hand! It has been ingrained in

us since our childhood! But, it sometimes gets so

difficult to comprehend. Should we fail purposely to

achieve success? Or should we compromise with the

current situation? Change my path? We are afraid of

the consequences and forgo the chance of changing

our direction.

The other day, I met my friend who wanted to pursue

her dreams of being a fashion designer. But, she

couldn't as her parents wanted her to be a doctor.

Really? But why? I have seen many of my friends

choosing a stream due to family and peer pressure.

My question is…are they happy? Will they be happy?

Why are they making so many compromises and for

whom? But, what if they fail?

These are the issues concerning most of the Gen X.

Come on man, the world has changed! There are vast

opportunities to explore. Everyone need not step

into the time trodden path. May be I would have

done better if I had taken the path chosen by my

family. These questions plague me.

How many of us are determined to turn our passion

into our career? Till the time, you have taken the first

step and work towards it .. how will you know?

Everything is possible, so long you believe and have

faith in yourself. So what are you waiting for?

Get, Set………………Go!

As I reflect, I realized how heavily I relied on the

fou r impor tan t C 's - Consequence ,

Compromise, Change and Career in my life!

It's important in everyone's life… especially mine

because it has played a major role. No doubt, it keeps

changing with every situation in life. But somewhere

it's always there and constant. And I believe even

today, I stand where I am because of the 4C's!

I have always been optimistic and tried my best to

stay grounded. I do try to get the most out of each

moment but sometimes it gets frustrated because

things weren't happening as fast as I wanted them to

be. I get dejected…. disheartened. No matter what I

do, I take time to ponder and access the situations.

Obviously, certain questions burp….Why me? Where

have I gone wrong? This setback shouldn't have

happened now. I get disheartened and dejected!

But… it happens in everyone's life! No matter what

phase you are in life, there will be moments you get

into a funk and you have to dig deep to get yourself

out. The key is to not stay there for very long and

become complacent. You have to figure out what is

causing you distress and tackle it. Sometimes, it

won't be obvious, so you may have to just completely

shut down and re-think.

We all know failures are a part of life. Also that success

Danceyourwaytohappiness

Look who's dancing?And why are they tapping their toes?

Happiness is dancing,And smiles are tapping the rows.

For me, dancing is like dreaming with your feet,Making your soul and freedom meet.

To be fond of dancing, is a certain form of love?Because I recognized my internal peace

And witnessed the beauty of dove.Dancing is the closest form of magic,

To be the savior of tragic.For Tarantism,

Is the uncontrollable urge to dance?It always exchanges the sweat,

To take a stance.So, Dance with your silly feet Dance your heart out

And you will know,It's you who's dancingAnd why are you tapping your toes

For me happiness with a smile,That's shining amongst the rows.
