matter or lodge a complaint with the appropriate authorities. They prefer to just shut their own doors and windows so that they are not disturbed. By doing this we are only encouraging such incidents. In such circumstances it is the duty of us, the educated people of this city, to take up this issue and try to sensitise people about the issue. So my dear friends let us try to be more civilized and act in a more mature way given that we are well educated. Let’s not spoil the peace of others by acting in a selfish manner. If we continue to take part in and encourage such acts then what can we expect from others? Please try to pass on this message to as many people as possible. I expect a good response to this article and wish that many of the readers come forward and join me in starting a mass movement to bring about a change. Because if we consider these issues to be petty ones and not act on it now, then a time would come when things would have slipped from our grip. If we continue to turn a blind eye to these issues and prefer to shut our doors and windows rather than pointing out the wrong of others then, we would only be encouraging this malady. Responses at:gauravrath@yahoo.com, http://www.facebook.com/gauravrath Cynosure of all Eyes Ms. Neena Choudhary, B. Tech., 8th Sem., Team e_news This is different… also awkward… but true! When I sat down to think about an issue for this edition I suddenly got overwhelmed. No, this is not my ast piece for the bulletin, but yes, this will end very soon. Writing for e_news has been one of the most treasured feelings for me. I have received more than I could contribute and above all, I am proud that hundreds, if not thousands, read what I wrote. This issue is not to bring a change in you but will focus on what a college gives you. You lament the ending of a college life only when a couple of months are left and you realize that you will never get back this life, even in the exchange of no matter what. This is the time when you realise how perfect everything was at college. I hadn’t started to lament the ending of my college experience until one of my cousins told me, “Make sure you have fun your last few months of college. And it’s O.K. if you cry when you leave.” That one line made me realise I grew up in college. I am a completely different person than the stubborn, naïve, wisdom-tooth-less18-year-old (yes that is news! I have three of my wisdom tooth growing) who stumbled, nervous about facing her seniors. I’m certainly not saying that after four years I know it all. In fact, I would guess that I know little to nothing about anything. But, I am thankful to the Almighty that I had my college surrounding and protecting me. When unemployment is at its peak I am lucky that I have a job in hand while I will be leaving my college. It actually does matter if your career is molding into the shape you always wanted, but, again, this is not the end of the road. The day you will be leaving college, it won’t matter how many offer letters you have in your pocket, what will matter most is, if all your friends are leaving with a job in hand. This is what college teaches you. My college life has been like the flash of lightning, at once exists and expires, and yet for at least a second brings light in to the dark and stormy night. The things I hated about the college at the beginning all of a sudden I am starting to love them (There always are exceptions… I still do not love attending the 100 minutes class.). It seems like time is running away now. A very few days are left and I have got so much to enjoy, so much to do (yes, including the project work!) and so much to write about. I am privileged that I will not be leaving instantly and have this chance of saying “Good Bye” to the college, the one that gave me the best memories of my life, people whom I can look up to and also showed a new direction which surely leads to a road with no ends.

SAT SAYS: The Last Hooray!!! Mr. Kewal Krishna, B. Tech., 8 th Sem., Team e_news It’s time you take out your kerchiefs. Its time you find a shoulder to weep on. Its time you dive in nostalgia. Its time you savor every word you read. Its time for your beloved, your champion, your voice to fizz out. The time has come for SAT to die... Well not just yet. How can SAT depart before giving one of SAT’s famous preaching? Didn’t you all enjoy those monologues- sometimes rude, sometimes catchy, sometimes biased, sometimes even racist but always true and insightful. In this final issue SAT won’t do any of that but rather take you through a trip down memory lane. SAT started out as an acronym for satire. “Satire on Attire”, the first trumpet, though naive, was well appreciated by you all. Thank You. Students personally came up to the so-called-creator of SAT, Kewal Krishna (however SAT, has already made it clear in earlier issues that Kewal is just a medium. SAT is nothing but that voice within you that begs attention but is always unheard and ignored) and thanked him for writing something related to the students of this college and not about world economics and politics. Who reads them anyway? From there it became a mandate for SAT. SAT’s sayings would always then be related to the student fraternity. Next in the series was, “P for Placements”. It was the only occasion when you all wanted to follow the placement department’s advice sincerely. Well almost sincerely, except when it came to attending the PPTs or bringing in a photo attached CV or wearing a tie. “Strike it out” was the next memorandum wherein SAT urged the student fraternity to strike against the university strike. The semesters are 3 months and the exams, Dear Lord, are 2 months long. It can happen only in our dear BPUT. “Waka Waka” was where SAT brought to you the April fool’s joke played on all Indians by Shakira (now this is where “O la la” fits. Listening Bappi da? Not Vidya, Shakira), that Waka Waka was the FIFA world cup theme. It actually meant Wake and Whack for us Indians. Wake up from the dream of 3.25 package and whack out the depravity prevailing in the country by becoming IASs, politicians, policemen and so on. “The death of GOD” was a correspondence form He Himself requesting you all to let secularism prevail. SAT does not deny the fact that it was an opportunistic time to say so as this all took place in the wake of the judgment of the Babri demolition. Then the Golden period came for SAT where SAT’s popularity rose and rose and rose. (It’s no secret that SAT likes to brag) “NIST leaks” based on Wiki leaks were received with great appreciation. That Sagar Xerox’s methods were monopolistic or that the faculty was also tired of taking classes were all revealed in this cable. “V day” made fun of girls and their unreal desire for perfect love and the more perplexing one, soft toys. It also showed how boys spend their mess bills to get those teddies and chocolates. SAT continued the tradition in “International Men’s Day” demanding a day in recognition of the opposite’s opposite gender. Men duh... Don’t you hate it when a girl gets ahead of you in the queue and gets the last available tickets of your favorite movie? How often do you have to get up in a bus or train so that the pretty lady there can be seated? Don’t you despise the fact that you have to carry around the entire luggage whenever you are traveling? And how often have you to pay the bill just because you don’t put a lipstick or a suns crème or mascara…the list can go on and on and on….It was then that SAT proposed a day for the anger amongst peace, for the greed amongst sacrifice, for the ruthless amongst love, for the problem amongst solution. How about an INTERNATIONAL MEN’s DAY on the 30 th of FEBRUARY because that’s how the dark and handsome had turned dark to the women in their life for the past thousands of years- oblivious to their needs and butchers of their desires. SAT’s last gig featuring the fairer sex was “A or I” where SAT unearthed an interesting phenomena that 87.5% of the girls studying at NIST from its inception have had a name ending with, yeah you guessed it right, an “a” or an “i”. After this SAT brought before you “Resolutions 2012” where SAT tactfully showed that the resolution of every boy was to get a girl and that of girls were to get slim, to get fairer, and to buy clothes… SAT was brought to you the resolutions of famous personalities like that of the man with the turban having a resolution of making one decision on his own. It has been a great journey. The love and support you extended mesmerized SAT and SAT always acknowledged them in the issues. THANK YOU. Now it’s time to say the goodbyes. SAT hopes you would remember SAT as SAT would always remember you. National Institute of Science & Technology, Berhampur, 761008 20 of 22
