The Mime<br />
Called Time<br />
The leaves fall and wither<br />
Pages turn monotonously<br />
The calendar falls off the wall<br />
I am the witness, stranger<br />
Grey is your house now<br />
The paint is thus extinct<br />
The creepers are free<br />
I reside there, stranger<br />
Incessant hands of the clock<br />
The wind pays no heed<br />
Blowing away the dust<br />
You understand, stranger<br />
There are no random bursts<br />
There is only consistent loss<br />
The eyes become stones<br />
I have felt it, stranger<br />
A calm fire is burning<br />
Smoke hiding the tear<br />
Devouring that armchair<br />
I know of it, stranger<br />
Light up your eyes<br />
The wheels stop therefore<br />
Sunlight in the room<br />
You may smile, stranger<br />
The skin peels off slowly<br />
Virility is a dying flame<br />
The mind is a rusted nail<br />
I mourn you, stranger<br />
Memories without colour<br />
And an indefinite abyss<br />
Inevitable and unacceptable<br />
Not your fault, stranger<br />
Every drop of time<br />
Precious bead in a necklace<br />
Silent message is conveyed<br />
I am a mime, stranger.<br />

The beginning<br />
As we come to the end of our first year of <strong>Vritaanta</strong>, we look back at the competition<br />
that started it all… and the student who gave the magazine its identity<br />
I<br />
mmediately after joining SIBM Pune in June, iSMaRT (Information Systems<br />
and Media Relations Team) rolled its first competition of the academic year,<br />
“Inception”. The motive was to name SIBM’s new Monthly Newsletter.<br />
The sole purpose of the newsletter was clear— being a bridge between us and<br />
the world. Keeping this in mind, I wanted it to be succinct, crisp and impactful.<br />
As the newsletter would be a record of events on campus, I thought of a simple title<br />
that captured its essence: “A Memoir”. But this was too generic.<br />
I realised that Hindi and Sanskrit are languages enriched with powerful words. After<br />
digging into Sanskrit and Hindi online dictionaries, I landed upon “VRITAANTA”.<br />

“<strong>Vritaanta</strong>”, the single, simple, powerful word meaning “Memoir” in Hindi, in itself<br />
eloquently speaks that this newsletter will be a record of events… enlightening the<br />
readers of all happenings at SIBM Pune.<br />
