Volume: 1 April ’16
Communication, the dissemination of valuable
information whether formal or informal and
collaboration are vital for a unified direction and
alignment of objectives. As part of our growing
reach and rapid expansion, there is a need for our
work force to keep in pace with latest internal
deve lopment s , i n fo rmat ion f low and
coordination. As part of our business growth, we
have currently stretched our wings to Mumbai,
West Bengal and Gurgaon (NCR). I take immense
pleasure to share with you all that our Brand is
well received with the parent and student
community alike in these areas. However, to
accelerate our pace and protract as a 'Top-Valued'
organization, we must foster more forums to
build interpersonal relationships, improve
coordination between departments, share
experiences and connect with each other.
Our focus for the year ahead will be on motivating talented people that we currently have to strive harder and
enhance the working environment. Each employee must understand to value his/her colleague. Treat them
respectfully and extract the best from one and other so that each one can reach their full potential.
“Voice” is one such mechanism for employees to engage with each other. It may be through a formal technical
note or an informal write up about a personal experience or even display one's creative talent! Voice aims at
providing an electronic platform to all those who are interested in displaying their creative writing or artistic
talent.
I would like to applaud every individual who strived to take this new initiative forward and encourage each
one of you to participate in the future issues of “Voice”.
All the Best!Puneet K

Directors Note
I have been beating my brain since I was advised to
contribute something in the form of a write-up for the
souvenir that is shortly being brought out by NSPIRA
management services Pvt. Ltd.
By all means, this article emerged out of my struggle for
nights. One fine night, I woke up and at once started penning
to give shape to my abstract feelings as to concrete ones.
The term that flashed in my brain instantly is 'ego'.
Surprisingly, even the term ego has an abstract nature.
However, I try my best to define it in my own words. “We are
created by someone, however, we feel we are the creators.”
This ideology must be termed as ego. This seed, in our mind,
germinates and grows into a wild tree. To my mind, ego is the
root, stem is the strength and shade is the hood of a
venomous snake. Can it be a good tree with these qualities?
Certainly not………..!
Secondly, our effort to be good is the sibling of ego.
One's goodness wholly mixes up with the blood and flows
but it does not take its shape by how one is with others or by
one's activities. It is quite unnecessary to prove one's
goodness.
Human or Beyond?
When we commit to prove it, we know, it is possible only
through exposing the lapses of others. The external part of us that
is tried to be exposed to the society is always an artificial one.
Be as what you are! Don't cover up your bad with good or
something with other. Who you are- it doesn't matter but how
you are matters a lot. Be alike internally and externally. Why
can't you be beyond a human? Like god........!
Prevention is always better than Cure
B. Seshavalli, Eng Desk,R & D High School
Zika virus is an emerging mosquito-borne virus that was first identified
in Uganda in 1947 in rhesus monkeys through a monitoring network of
sylvatic yellow fever. It was subsequently identified in humans in 1952 in
Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania. Outbreaks of Zika virus
disease have been recorded in Africa, America, Asia and the Pacific.
Zika virus is transmitted to people through the bite of an infected
mosquito from the Aedes genus, mainly Aedes aegypti in tropical regions.
This is the same mosquito that transmits dengue, chikungunya and yellow
fever. However, sexual transmission of Zika virus has been described in 2
cases, and the presence of the Zika virus in semen in 1 additional case.
People with Zika virus disease usually have symptoms that can
include:
| Mild fever | Skin rashes | Conjunctivitis | Muscle and
joint pain | Malaise or headache
These symptoms normally last for 2-7 days. There is no specific
treatment or vaccine currently available. The best form of prevention is
protection against mosquito bites.
Treatment: People sick with Zika virus should get plenty of rest, drink
enough fluids, and treat pain and fever with common medicines. If
symptoms worsen, they should seek medical care and advice.
Hence, my sincere request to all my colleagues and staff is, be careful
and try to prevent Zika Virus. Though it is not spreading at rapid pace in
Telangana and AP, I think we need to be aware enough to prevent such
hazardous diseases.

The path to our dreams, goals lie not just in char�ng a good ac�on-
plan, but also equally in de-clu�ering our life, the way all great men
have done.
DON'T COMPLICATE ITWe live in an environment of clu�er, chaos and confusion, the
person who is able to de-clu�er and simplify his life is the one who
can achieve the maximum. Most of us are doing too much – speaking
too much, connec�ng too much (thanks to Facebook and other
networking sites), aiming for too many goals, and the list goes on. It's
�me to hold back, think, and simplify things. It's �me to focus on the
essen�al and de-clu�er, and de-stress our life. All successful people
have done it.However, simplicity is the most difficult thing to achieve. The ones
who can achieve it have been the most successful. Charlie Chaplin
was one such legend. He simplified films. He understood human
psychology perfectly and depicted it in the simplest manner in his
films, which is why even today, they are as enjoyable to watch. Come
to think of it, simplicity can be pre�y complex. Only if you have a
deep understanding of the problem can you think of a simple
explana�on or a simple solu�on. In a nutshell, great things start with simple ideas; and truly great
people have achieved their greatness by believing in simplicity. They
lived simple lives and found simple solu�ons to every complicated
problem. Very simply put, if we need to lose weight, the simple
solu�on is to eat less. If we want to
become a good musician, need to get
up every morning and prac�ce. If we
want to achieve something......just
do it!!
DON'T GIVE INThe tempta�ons of �me wasters are
everywhere and are the causes for
procras�na�on. The television and
YouTube are two mediums causing
the biggest wastage of �me. Hours
evaporate into a mist of undone tasks
b e f o r e w e k n o w i t . T h e s e
tempta�ons are the greatest when
we have the most to do. The less �me
we have, the more the tempta�on to
waste it doing things, which could
easily have been avoided.
In his book Eat the Frog, author Brian Tracy gives one simple
advice. He says that according to an old saying, if you eat a live frog in
the morning, nothing bad will happen to you for the whole day.
However, the 'frog' that he speaks about is actually the one thing
that you find the most difficult to do in your 'to-do' list. It means the
task, which is the most important; and it is generally the most
demanding task that we try to procras�nate the most. It is this 'frog'
that should be a�acked first and finished the moment we start our
day. This will ensure that the job is done when you have the
maximum energy and �me in hand, leaving you feeling happy and
sa�sfied for the rest of the day; and perhaps, because of this, one is
encouraged to do even more things in lesser �me.As Abraham Lincoln once said, “The best thing about the future is
it comes one day at a �me.” What he meant was that we write our
future 'one day at a �me'; so if each day is planned well and if each
day is made produc�ve, the future is bound to be good. Live each day
to its fullest, by planning it well and star�ng the day by doing the
most important things first....Just do it!!
GIVE UP, BUT DON'T GIVE INGiving up something to
a�ain a greater goal has
been the founda�on of
Indian culture. It gives one
immense power. You could
start by giving up one
ac�vity that wastes �me
and use that �me to do
something produc�ve. One of the greatest
quali�es of a leader is his
a b i l i t y t o o v e r c o m e
tempta�ons. It's his ability
and courage to say a 'no'
which gives him greater control over his life and his thoughts, for
every �me he says a 'no' to the tempta�on, he keeps the focus on his
goals and that increases his determina�on and willpower. You say a
'no' for you refuse to take 'not possible' for an answer; because when
you are obsessed with an idea and think only about it and nothing
else, all your energy and life starts revolving around it. Once that
happens, you are bound to succeed.Both our thoughts and ac�ons finally decide our
future. So think right – this will help to plan right.
Before that, lets de-stress and declu�er our life;
simplify it so that we can focus on the really
important stuff….Just Do IT!!
JUST DO IT

1. After massive demand from all husbands...
A new app called,"fear" is launched in iphone 7
You just say ,"wife"
And it immediately closes all websites,
Hides all chats,
Shuts down all games,
Hide all special folders
And
Deletes chat history!
And best above all,
It puts your wife's photograph as a wallpaper.

Dean Mr. Surendra Naidu asked me to 'pack up my
luggage'. For a moment I couldn't decipher what went
wrong un�l he expounded that he wish to promote me. I
was very excited. A�er several rounds of interview at
central office, I got through and was sent to Gannavaram
as a principal for my second innings. I joined the list of
employees who were recognized and enhanced in their
posi�ons within a short period of �me. Everything looked
completely different. Fortunately the training sessions at
central office came handy to start with.
My journey began with learning and experiencing.
For every mistake which I commi�ed personally, the
ins�tu�on bore the loss. I learned from the mistakes I have
commi�ed. The banner provided me an ambience under
which could I learn, experiment, err and eventually gained
the confidence to face the world. Lately I realized that
ins�tu�on is not just a place to earn our livelihood but also
a pla�orm to contribute to the society where we envisage
our future genera�on to flourish. We must avail the given
opportuni�es and be a force to reckon with in the path of
na�on building.
One has to remember the proverb that 'Men may
come and go but ins�tu�ons always remain'. So I
personally feel that our energies must be channelized for
the strengthening and enhancing of our ins�tu�on which
in turn will benefit us in a long run.

Who claims they are the best in performance,

Who claims they are good platform for success,
When runway of all sky-kissing success is the Narayana
Who claims they scale all heights in academics,
When all heights rest at the feet of the Narayana
Who claims they produce unparalleled results,
When unrivalled results lie in DNA of the Narayana
Who claims most ranks are bagged by them,
When best ranks trail like infants behind the Narayana
Beyond the very extreme of fatigue and distress, we may find amounts of ease and power we never dreamed ourselves to own, sources of strength never taxed at all because we never push through the obstruction.

See Through Virtual Reality!2016 is set to be the year when the likes of Oculus Rift, PlayStation VR and the HTC Vive Pre take VR mainstream.
Virtual reality is an immersive experience in which your head movements are tracked in a three-dimensional world, making
it ideally suited to games and even movies.
How does VR actually work ?
While VR was a non-starter back in the 90s, developers are now creating mind-blowing experiences that look set to
revolutionize gaming and entertainment. But what are the best VR headsets and which one should you choose? We've put
together the definitive selection of the most gob-smackingly awesome devices just waiting to be strapped to your bounce.
Read on for the full list…
Oculus Rift: of course, Oculus Rift is the virtual reality headset that started the
current hysteria. Developed by Palmer Luckey, funded via Kickstarter and snapped
up by Facebook for a cool $2 billion, the Rift plugs into your computer’s DVI and USB
ports and tracks your head movements to provide 3D imagery on its stereo screens.
It's available to order now, with shipping expected in March 2016. The Oculus
Touch controllers have been delayed until later in the year, but you will get an Xbox
One control pad in the box.
Make sure you check out our round up of the best games for Oculus Rift.
Sony Play Station VR: At last we have a launch date for the play Station VR headset : October 2016.
A new version was announced at GDC 2015 and gone is the 5-inch LCD display of the original prototype; in its place a 5.7-
inch OLED one which enables low persistence, which should mean less motion blur.
The display's refresh rate has also been ramped up to 120Hz, making 120fps gaming a
real possibility.
The reported latency issues of Morpheus Mk1 have been addressed, with a new 18ms
reading, and tracking accuracy has been tweaked with a total of nine LEDs now aiding
the positional awareness of the headset.
Oculus Rift
HTC Vive: HTC unveiled the
HTC Vive, a Steam VR headset
made in collaboration with Valve,
at MWC 2015 - and it’s due to hit
the shops in April.
The HTC Vive plugs into
PCs and work with Valve's
mammoth gaming ecosystem. It
packs in 70 sensors plus offers
360 degree head-tracking as well
as a 90Hz refresh rate; the stat
that's key to keeping down
latency. Elsewhere, there's an
accompanying "context aware
controller", so you can shoot,
move and interact with elements
in the virtual world.

Workshop at Bangalore on Team Building
It was 2003, my life turned around after joining Narayana Group. Though I started my career
as a warden in junior college, as the time passed with many struggles and achievements, today I’m
in a position of a Core Dean. I believe a person who has regularity, sincerity and hard work can
reach inexplicable targets. To become a successful man, we should visualize a big future and have
grand dreams. I always try to be the best in Narayana Group and hence worked hard right from
the beginning. In my career, I have motivated our students to bag not only 3 consecutive state 1st
ranks but also state 2nd and 5th ranks in EAMCET. On the other hand, 3rd and 9th ranks from
IIT Entrance Exam are given to Narayana Group under my Guidance. All this success and
growth is because of our respected chairman Sri. Narayana garu. He always supported us with the determination to
achieve amazing goals. He always said,
“One should never feel proud over yesterdays achievement, and should strive hard for tomorrow’s excellence
we need to provide a strong support to the students with proper guidance and planned study schedules. The
parents are to be assured of their child’s future. Also, the employees need to be provided a conducive
environment to perform their best. Good administration along with good academics, gives good result.
This is the secret of my success”
These words give the strength to constantly prove ourselves. Narayana in Visakhapatnam is striving
towards greater heights with its teamwork and concerted efforts. It is the individual and collective
contribution of each employee that helped achieve this milestone with a great sense of satisfaction and
fulfillment. As I look ahead, I can visualize that the Vizag campus will grow in pursuit of higher
standards of teaching and give shape to my dream. May God give strength to continue to see the
Narayana campues in Visakhapatnam flourishing.
Enriching our experience through learning as we step into the next academic year
