Issue 25: Mental Health

To live “on” Earth is not the problem. The planet is merely a physical landscape that supports life. But the complication starts when we talk about this mental construct of a “world”, that we are all forced to subscribe to in some capacity. A world that requires you to achieve something. To be ambitious. To

Issue 24: Pride

After the age of 18, it’s not a rat race anymore. It’s sort of a very badly planned search and rescue operation. Be it a search for the right professional course, the right dress, or even love; in fact, some of us don’t even know what we’re searching for.Oftentimes, we find ourselves something so perfect

Issue 23

I know that the turn of the year might have been the strangest one yet for all of us. With college reopening to offline exams, the invigorating stress that all of us conceived was quickly and painlessly killed with the excitement of seeing all of our batchmates again. Feeling that eerie sense of re-entering the

‘Another secret of the universe- sometimes, pain was like a storm that came out of nowhere. The clearest summer could end in a downpour. Could end in lightning and thunder.’-Benjamin Alire Saenz We’re here – at the end of the year – a year that has brought out some of the worst in the world,

We’re now in November and I’m sure all of us are starting to feel that on January 1st, 2021, the world is going to be reborn. There’s a common sense of relief and an abstract understanding that as soon as 2020 is over, we’re about to go back to how things were in January or

A hundred and fifty plus days since college has closed and I’m confident in saying most of us have transitioned from calling this a lockdown to summer holidays. No matter though, as the VTU’s indecisive spirit is back with a vengeance. After a month of what I’m sure were long hours of debate, we have

As some of us unlock our doors and shake off the moss, our friends in other parts of the world are going back into hiding. Some others are replacing their kitchen aprons with cardboard placards and marching the streets. I’m sure our parents wish we were protesting outside too, at least it would get us

Issue 17

Its day #whoevenknows in lockdown where it feels like time is moving at the speed of light and standing still at the same time, so why bother defining it with a number? The talk of the town still remains to be the C-word as its victims increase day by day. The country is operating on

Issue 16

From googling ‘How to manage time?’ to ‘How to waste it?’, this last month has brought quite a few drastic turns in all our lives. Or has it? Non-stop couch potato abilities with none of those endless to-do lists in sight? Sign me up! That is, until your mom eyes you and hands you the
