logo for YATN

Hey, I've designed a logo for YATN.




FUN!

All the plans we had made for 'the first official fun activity of YATN', seemed to sink when we realized about the occurrence of INTER IISER CHEM MEET!! We had thought of Paper Bag Making Activity for big kids, and a movie for the juniors. We had to either cancel up everything or change the plans due to the unavailability of space and equipments like projector. We picked up the second option.

Feb, 20 :Sunday : 2:00PM
Our Team had started to assemble outside the Hostel V, and within no time the Shuttlers picked the children from their homes, to our playground. The under-construction-road was leveled by a road roller. We started by dividing them according to their sizes. The Big Ones were taught Football, and the Little ones played tug of war or with a discus. I had encountered those kids like this for the first time, and they really are more energetic than any of us. We played with them, for almost an hour, and they wanted an extension of time, but unfortunately we couldn't give it. We were tired, at least i was. We decided to wrap up things, and escort them back to their homes. The Shuttlers did their job, and i came to the comp lab.

Meanwhile, i found a kid - Ravinder. He had used a tiny motor, a wire, a AA battery, and a tennis ball. He had plugged the motor into the tennis ball, and when motor rotated , the ball rotated with it. He told us that he got the inspiration from one his fellows, Hrihtik, who once had made a fan using the same apparatus. I had shot this footage, and probably i will upload it.

Well, innovation is everywhere. When we formulate it, we call it Science.

Contrast


On a fine Sunday evening you can easily make out this contrast if you are standing on a conditionally correct puddle of mud. On one side there are eight storied hostels, shining corridors, and branded clothes, while on the other side there are small huts, muddy pathways, and rags. But that day I saw an utterly different contrast, which is not generally seen everywhere; small children, most of them lowly or un-educated, with a will to learn, holding hands with adult college students with a will to nurture the future.
And above all this contrast, there were a couple of things that all of them shared; a beautiful smile on their faces and the warmth of happiness at their hearts.
This is our YATN to promise a brighter future with lesser contrast.

Look Around

By Danish Shamoon


Life's been very kind, the way I see it
False is this line, if you can't perceive it
People, nature and situations around
Are determined trainers & teachers, to you who are bound.

Hey friends, Look around
People are good, people are bad
Nature is also surprisingly clad
Challenging situations often make us go mad

Life's homogenized with happiness & sorrow
How it's spent depends on what we borrow-
An angel's or a devil's(advise)
I mean- Optimism or Pessimism to follow

No matter how crazy it might sound
When devil begins to deceive
Vain desires become our priorities
And we proudly compete in vanities

The will is Ours
We should be its Masters
Don't let the grinning devils play with it
We are what we Choose to be

Hey friends, again Look around
There is a way to deceive the Deceiver
To look carefully the worlds that surround
And pick a cause, give our life a Noble Purpose

The world holds so many problems

The ones who are intelligent can drive the crowds

The ones who are strong can help the weak

The ones who are wise can bring justice

A Noble duty of the People

The People who bring Revolutions
