Issue 13

The new decade is upon us with what we hope and believe are greener pastures. With over a week of it lost, I think it’s safe to assume that the resolution makers have tried and failed yet again in their yearly rituals and are searching for the next ‘it’ thing to obsess over. With aContinue reading “Issue 13”

Issue 12

Do you believe that you’re ‘normal’? Are these creatures around you ‘normal’? Have you ever wondered why your eyes are in that almond-like shape instead of a square? Why we all are made of curves and not straight lines? Why this huge populace of curved creatures is so obsessed with the straightness of every lineContinue reading “Issue 12”

Issue 11

Every one of us has ‘take a break’ on top of our to-do lists: a break from deadlines, our mundane routines, our nagging parents, a break from reality. As fun as it is to go ‘off-grid’ and ‘explore’, these breaks are also times when we pull our brains in tow and think about what mattersContinue reading “Issue 11”

Issue 10

The little circles floating around campus told you that Courtyard was listening. We always do and this issue we are introducing ‘Letters to the Editor’. Anything you’ve got to say that you want people to hear? This is where you say it! In his letter, John emphasises on how important it is for students andContinue reading “Issue 10”

Issue 9

The theme chosen for the May edition is “Power Play”, simply because this is one of those topics we normally ignore. Say, who’s the candidate from your ward? Or do you have the freedom to tell your parents that you would rather hang out with your friends instead of attending some distant cousin’s wedding? OrContinue reading “Issue 9”

Issue 8

Have you ever questioned what you are doing? Why you are here or how you are contributing? Does your contribution have to make a difference? Why are you even contributing and what are you contributing to? This in some way is an important time for us in India, yet, John George hysterically compares the elections toContinue reading “Issue 8”

Issue 7

“I accept Chaos, I’m not sure whether it accepts me.” – Bob Dylan The March edition opens with the theme of ‘Chaos’. Chaos is a state of being wherein your presence is brought to a still, as you watch everything around you revolve in infinite patterns. It demands your attention to decode and find itsContinue reading “Issue 7”

Issue 6

Wadiyar Centre for Architecture, the place we like to call home, realistically is a new and small institute in a small little ‘comfort’ city, Mysore. Nonetheless, we have been making a name for ourselves, not just in India but world-wide. Not many small institutes can achieve this but have you ever taken a moment toContinue reading “Issue 6”

Issue 5

New Year, supposedly Earth’s birthday. A day that brings in a beautiful notion of newness, hope, beginnings, opportunities. A day that brings a smile to everyone’s face; as it really is a reset button. New hopes, new wish lists, and new expectations, literally like put a full stop on 2018 and start fresh. We startContinue reading “Issue 5”

Issue 4

I strongly believe in the positivity of new beginnings. There is this certain aura about them, as if one was lost and that to me is the best thing about them. It allows for unlimited exploration and there is no pre-conceived notion of what is to become.  As Billy Collins says in his poem Aristotle; ThisContinue reading “Issue 4”
