Desalites, filter their character through their writing and

thus bring out the best in every being.

wish that this sought of culture catches the fire of

knowledge as St Francis de Sales considers “Knowledge

STUDENTS CORNER

A Poem for All Entrepreneurs

- Arvind Nada (II BBA)

The road to success is paved with tests,

So you ought to believe in yourself above the rest.

Dream big, and let your passion shine,

If you don‟t, you won‟t end up with a dime.

Challenge the status quo, disrupt the market and say YES!

And remember that innovation is an endless quest.

Don‟t forget to change business for good,

If you want to change the world then you should.

If you think with your head and listen to your heart,

I promise you‟ll get off to a flying start.

Make bold moves, but always play fair,

Always say please and thank you – it‟s cool to care.

Do what you love and love what you do,

This advice is nothing new.

Now, stop worrying whether your business will be a hit,

Rise to the challenge and say „screw it, let‟s do it!

- Manju James ( II BBA)

Hasn't it turned cold now??

But we’ll never be old enough

It's the time where the sun is setting back into its abode;

it will be gone before we‟ve finished drinking those extra

strong cups of coffee that we craved all day long.

The coffee isn‟t hot enough either. The sky will get dark

sooner, but we can‟t stand the in-betweens

When it‟s too soon to be dark yet too dark to be light but too

light to be comforting - It’s not dark enough.

And somewhere in the not-enough, we realize that we‟ve

become creatures of habit, that we sought comforts in those

and now, even that is not enough

We think back with a dull ache in our hearts (the ache isn’t

powerful enough for remorse) about where we went wrong…

as we look for answers.

- Sushma (III BBA)

It‟s madness…

To hate all the roses,

If you get poked, by one thorn.

To give up all your dreams,

If one didn‟t come true.

To lose faith in god,

If one player wasn‟t answered.

To give up all your efforts,

If one of your dreams failed.

To condemn all your dreams,

If one betrayed, you.

Not to trust people if one broke a promise.

Remember that

Time will bring,

A new friend, A new dream, A new life,

Never give up!!!!!!!!!!!

Because life indeed is beautiful [[

- Joyal Abraham M (III BBA)

Let's build a special world, for our good friends

A magical bond one cannot see,

Which shall engulf us in its warmth, Until our heart and soul

till eternity.

Let‟s hold hands and move together

Not as fake but as real forever in our way.

I don‟t even want to say I miss u

After graduation or after busy nights or jobs,

Those friends who cannot bear the scorching defeat

of their courage are grafted on to the earth,

That‟s how they make way for the mighty

but they are merely straw not friends.

My friends are my soul. Friends may insult and beat us

for no reason which is to make memory

In a puppets world where movements are started through

brainless wire, Repeated through mindless habit, bunking

class howling friends, Which make us to feel happy and

joyful, to stir into mimicry of life.

Life is Beautiful

Hasn't it turned cold now? My Friends

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi

announced that currency notes with the denomination of

500/- and 1000/- would cease to be the legal tender from 9th

of Nov, the whole country was stunned. This decision caused

sensation in the whole country. Social Media was flooded

with messages and information. People started counting the

trash they had accumulated for years - legally or illegally.

Rumours became rife. Some tried to invest their dying

currency in gold. Some contacted their near and dear ones in

this miserable hour. People could get only Rs 4000/- of old

denomination exchanged with the new one. Big lines became

the order of the day. Instead of getting shorter, these queues

were getting longer with every passing day. The last date for

the whole process was 30th of December. People could

deposit old cash worth Rs 2.5 lac till the said date.

The main objective of this move was to curb black money,

corruption and fake money menace. All the people but those

who were indulged in malpractices welcomed the move. The

whole opposition shook hand against this move under one

pretence or the other. They called this decision a draconian

law and wanted the government to roll it back. Tirades were

made to target the decision.

The new currency which replaced the old one is of

denomination of Rs 500/- and 2000/-. Though the people

faced a lot of inconvenience owing to shortage of funds, they

did not criticize the government for the move. The Prime

Minister also addressed the people many times telling that it

was a 'mahayajna' and they must offer their own ahuti in it.

He further said he was aware the hardships they were

suffering from but he sought only 50 days for setting the

things right. He jibed at the chief political leaders who had

stashed big amount of money and now joined hands to force

the government to take the decision back.

The most interesting thing regarding the demonetization was

that people devised various unique methods for transforming

their black money in to white one.

Some of these methods are as follows –

Depositing money in the accounts of their poor relatives

and friends.

Enticing the people with some percentage of money for

exchange.

Asking their employees to stand in the long queues in

front of Banks and ATMs for getting money exchanged.

Hiring labors for some Rupees ranging from Rs 500/- to

700/- for becoming the part of long queues in front of

banks/ ATMs.

Converting black money into gold.

Paying a few months‟ salaries in advance.

Paying back loans forcibly.

Using their influence / links with bank employees

What would be the impact of Demonetization on Indian

Society/ Economy?

The first impact shall be that people will have lower

expenditure power. With that they will not be able to

purchase luxurious things.

There shall be no ostentatious expenditures on marriages and

other ceremonies. So the society will grow lesser

materialistic and people more prudent. With the fake money

destroyed, Indian economy will see a big boom and the so far

booming real estate sector shall fall to the ground.

Things shall be cheaper. Indian Currency shall get respect at

the international market. There shall be a great check on the

terror-related funding and therefore on terrorist activities.

Corruption shall be down to a great extent as people will stop

the tendency of accumulating money using wrong means.

It will bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots.

However, there may be some difficulties for a couple of

months. But this inconvenience shall be temporary and for

short-term.
