An ode to Nirbhaya

Survivor - A Poem
I was raped
My soul was clenched with iron claws
And ripped away from my body
My body torn into pieces
As beasts feast on it
Losing my conscience
I barely cling to life
I’m burnt to ashes from inside
I can’t sleep
I can’t breathe in peace
I have nightmares haunting me
I’ve lost childhood memories
I’ve lost memories of love
All I have in me are these scars above
They’ve imprinted on my very being

I am traumatized forever
I can’t face the world
I know I'm bleeding inside
But I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna rise to fight
So that no one else has to go through it again
No one else has to see a day like mine
I’m gonna rise! I’m gonna fight!

Nari shakti hai! Nari maa hai!
Tumne apne maa ka balatkaar kiya
Jal jao aag mein tum
Tumhare paap ka prayaschit nahi
Apni maa ko maar dala
Har stree ko lalkara

Maut bhi tumko sahi saza nahi

The journey of love through the ages

The Journey of Love Through Ages Every one of us at any point in our lives must have wondered, what is love? The real definition may be a mystery or not because science actually doesn't approve or have proof of love, yet people say they have fallen in love. Maybe love is like water. It molds itself to the changing situations. Let us have a look at the journey of love through ages.. Earlier (man) stages: There was nothing called love. Even if there was, it made no sense. People just lived to eat and they satisfied their physical needs with maybe anyone or anything. Later the same time: There may be...was love, but people didn't pay much attention to it. People lived with each other for the sake of living or maybe lived with the person who fetched them food. Last stages of this stage: People had multiple partners so that they had their options open! Especially m

Tech-No-Logic

Dependency on Technology There have been numerous short films, debates, discussions, and videos in the past few days on our increasing dependency on technology. Whether it's the addiction to selfies, social networking sites, games, or even general news, we are breathing and thriving on technology. The raging debate of the hour is, can we survive otherwise? If not for all this technology, can we call ourselves developed or developing? Probably not. There was a time when man discovered fire, and there was a time it burnt his entire habitat. It is now that time of the hour when the match is ignited with absolute precision, and it will have the elastic or boomerang effect on all of us. We are increasingly seeing school-going kids handling smartphones and iPhones like experts on a space mission. In the name of se

Baby We're Addicted!

In the past few days, there have been numerous short films, debates, discussions, and videos highlighting our increasing dependency on technology. Whether it's the addiction to selfies, social networking sites, games, or news in general, technology has become an inseparable part of our lives. The ongoing debate questions whether we can survive without this technology and still consider ourselves developed or developing. EFLUites, the students and lecturers of EFL University, share their perspectives on the matter. Spandana, an EFLU student, observes people walking into her on campus, engrossed in their phones, and even her classmates browse their mobiles during class. She believes that we are becoming slaves to technology, which will have consequences in the near future. However, she acknowledges that technology is a boon for handling assignments and research, but emphasizes the importance of setting  limits. EFLU lecturers also share similar concerns, as technology has led to an
