YOUTH PARLIAMENT

THE SPOUTING SPOT

Editor's Note..

The youth parliament is extremely jubilant for the budding writers of doodlers. We appreciate their efforts to make diverse articles and expect the same forever. The recent climactic episode in the Youth parliament is the inauguration of the “y-Talks” .  Why “y-Talks” ??? We realized the hesitation among the technocrats in speaking their minds and decided to help them with a stage that crowns the most rudimentary  as well as the most hi-fi  ideas. This realization culminated in the chiseling of the forum “Y-talks”. Till date, two diverse “Y-talks” shows have been executed successfully. The first show was a blend of technical and psychological sharing of minds. The lead one of yp T.Gokul Sidarth gave a fab talk on his project theme. Then our faculty advisor Mr.Mohan Kumar ruminated the experiences of his life  aptly titled as “Cultural shock”  just to prep the listeners walk stages of life with bravery. Then the lead two Lalitha Paramaeswaran told us an aspiring story about accepting people for what they are and excavate happiness in life. Also, Nivas bharathi of final mechanical glimpsed his college life. The second show was an emotional package where Yogesh balaji of second ICE shared the story of hard-ships faced by  a family and aspired everyone to follow the trend-setters of our family. Aakash .N.C of third mechanical too shared a similar story of a family. Thus Y-talks is gearing up force from the beautiful contributions of our dearest champs. We cordially welcome all of you to present your views in “Y-talks”! Confirm  your schedule for speaking to any one of the Yp members. Also post your comments on “Doodlers” at our blogspot   “doodlersyup.blogspot.in” and mail your articles to mcetyp@gmail.com!

ALL ABOUT KIDS…

A month long stay with my nephew who is barely three and a half years old has made me write this. With his twinkling eyes and a cheeky smile he mesmerizes you by posing unanswerable questions. You stand awestruck, dumbfounded and what not? It actually takes a few seconds to come out of this.

His father is a north Indian and mother from the south. So he speaks “TAMHINGLISH” which is a beautiful blend of tamil, hindi and English. He uses sentences like “chalo hum pesenge” meaning “come on let’s talk”. People familiar with all the three languages will surely appreciate the blend.

Following are two out of the many instances where he has made us speechless: One late evening, there was no supply and it was very dark we had gathered enjoying a nice chat. This kid came up all of a sudden, gazed at the sky and asked “How is it that the stars are glowing without electricity?”  . All of us busy with our discussions all the while suddenly turned over to him in awe.

At this age mastering the poem twinkle twinkle little star used to be a great task for us and this little boy had already begun wondering the reason behind the twinkle! Believe me, it was only after he put forth such a question, I took the efforts to learn the principle behind glowing of stars.

One fine morning we cousins took up the task of helping this child master the names of different animals and their kids. He mastered those easily and quite quickly too. We asked him questions one by one and he answered most of them correctly. We were satisfied and ready to wind up the session. This boy then came up with a query which none of us could answer! He asked “what is the kid of an ant called?” and there we were left again with our mouths open looking at each other’s face. On surfing the net we found the answer to be “antling”.

Only when ants bite us or make merry on our favorite sweet kept on the table we take out few seconds to curse them. We never even think of ants otherwise forget “kids of ants”.

Thus I would like to bring out that kids ease us and bring a smile onto our faces no matter however stressed we are. Also I would like to throw some light on today’s scenario, while travelling in trains we often come across situations where a family of four (parents and two kids) travel together. What we observe is that the father is busy working on his laptop, mother in her own world reading a novel and the elder kid enjoying songs on an i-pod. Now left all alone is this kid aged barely 4 or 5?

On witnessing such a scene lately we spent the entire travel playing with the kid who was left aloof by his family. It was such an enjoyable experience that we almost failed to realize that our destination had arrived. We took our baggage to get down when the mother of the kid spoke up for the first time, she said “Sorry that our son bored you all this while, chatting continuously”. The reply that she got from my uncle which I guess would have at least had some impact on her was “Not at all. At least try experiencing it once I bet it would give more joy than the book, laptop or an i-pod”.

So a sincere request to the working parents of today is spend quality time with little ones at home and this will not only make them happy but give you happiness too.

TRAVELLING- AN ADVENTURE FOR ALL BEINGS…

Birds fly for shelter. Animals move for breeding. Fishes swim to expand their muscles.It gets more interesting when it comes to humans. Because they have learnt how to live. Those are just foolish thoughts. Yogis and explorers travelled in the mid age for more knowledge. But youths of now have started to travel more often to explore the world in many ways especially in their own ways. It’s true; humans don’t travel more often until it was a vacation including the author myself.It is the middle aged guys who travel during vacation. And that’s not travelling that’s enjoying the time with some passing clouds.We should admit that youths have broken the record of vascodagama. Speaking of which they travel for small pleasure. It may be a fact of waste of time for the middle aged men as they pretend to be genius holding a white collared job in a dumb. But I see the bird’s faith to survive, in the youths who wish to travel. Vascodagama said world is small. They show us how small the world is and added meaning for the word small. You can build your survival instincts only on the experience you gain from your travelling and not through the episodes of some geographical channel. It becomes a hobby for those like to leave the cage. Youths of today travel to accumulate with nearby culture. It is the adaptability that youth trying to find within them. That is the field where one may find patients, will, acceptance and ability to fight back. Indiangovernment has given more opportunities for those who travel. Youth hostel association of India, an initiate of Indian ministry of youth affairs has been sheltering youths like us for the past 2 years. For those who really like travelling through India should know about this. This is a nonprofit hostelling society that focuses on the people who one only wishes to travel (alone). I got the chance to stay in one of the hostel. I felt myself within my mom’s care for the day.It’s like you taking care of yourself because that’s how i used to be in my home with my mom. We can’t compare the hospitality of a hotel to this hostel. You may feel difficult that dormentry is for unisex unlike Canada but they are planning to provide it very soon with the neutral gender.This may be initiated by the government of India but it was lead by the group of youths like us. They have started many events for us like mountain bike ride, trekking, camping, swimming and lot more. They give first importance for those who wish to travel. Swami vivekantha didn’t get opportunities like this. If he had got anything like this I am sure he would have reached all over the world. At some point world will get to know you whether you know the whole world are not.

One of the best examples of travelling youths is bikers. Bikers gang  havestarted to increase in our society. They will flood like water everywhere. They bike only for particular reason one to bike then to stop for food and morning calls. They feel as if they have started to swim in water without any backward push of water. Travelling  would be like sun moving free in space without any obstacles,giving shining rays to everywhere it falls and creating new pattern of colors. This way of seeing and understanding things gives our imagination and dream a narrow path. For those parents who object their children from travelling the world,this is the time for us to take the world to the next level. If you stop us now you may not see the future in us. This obstacle you give us is the obstacle to self-learning. We may not be Ekalvya but we are trying to understand the difficulty of being in Ekalvya. We are asking you to guide us not to work beside us. When I sey these words I feel my papa sitting for my maths homework beside me and teaching me how to do maths. There were a lot of sweep and hurdles with my maths. I wonder why there was school and teacher. Support youth hosteling and I suppose they are not that bad for my home.

 TO EVERY ENGLISHMAN IN INDIA…

DEAR FRIEND,

I wish that every Englishman will see this appeal and give thoughtful attention

to it.

Let me introduce myself to you. In my humble opinion, no Indian has cooperated

with the British Government more than I have for an unbroken period

of twenty-nine years of public life in the face of circumstances that might well

have turned any other man into a rebel. I ask you to believe me when I tell you

that my co-operation was not based on the fear of the punishments provided by

your laws or any other selfish motives. It was free and voluntary co-operation

based on the belief that the sum total of the activity of the British Government

was for the benefit of India. I put my life in peril four times for the sake of the

Empire,—at the time of the Boer war when I was in charge of the Ambulance

corps whose work was mentioned in General Buller's dispatches, at the time of

the Zulu revolt in Natal when I was in charge of a similar corps, at the time of

the commencement of the late War when I raised an Ambulance corps and as a

result of strenuous training had a severe attack of pleurisy, and lastly, in

fulfillment of my promise to Lord Chelmsford at the War Conference in Delhi, I

threw myself in such an active recruiting campaign in Kaira District involving

long and trying marches, that I had an attack of dysentery, which proved

almost fatal. I did all this in the full belief that acts such as mine must gain for

my country an equal status in the Empire. So late as last December I pleaded

hard for a trustful cooperation. I fully believed that Mr Lloyd George would

redeem his promise to the Mussalmans and that the revelations of the official

atrocities in the Punjab would secure full reparation for the Punjabis. But the

treachery of Mr Lloyd George and its appreciation by you, and the condonation

of the Punjab atrocities have completely shattered my faith in the good

intentions of the Government and the nation which is supporting it.

But though my faith in your good intentions is gone, I recognize your bravery,

and I know that what you will not yield to justice and reason, you will gladly

yield to bravery.

See What This Empire Means to India:

Exploitation of India's resources for the benefits of Great Britain,

an ever-increasing military expenditure, and a civil service the most expensive

in the world,

extravagant working of every department in utter disregard of India's poverty,

disarmament and consequent emasculation of a whole nation lest an armed

nation might imperil the lives of a handful of you in our midst,

traffic in intoxicating liquors and drugs for ' the purpose of sustaining a topheavy

administration,

progressively repressive legislation in order to suppress an ever-growing

agitation seeking to give expression to a nation's agony,

degrading treatment of Indians residing in your dominions and

you have shown total disregard of our feelings by glorifying the Punjab

administration and flouting the Mussalman sentiment.

I know you would not mind if we could fight and wrest the sceptre from your

hands. You know that we are powerless to do that, for you have ensured our

incapacity to fight in open and honourable battle. Bravery on the battlefield is

thus impossible for us. Bravery of the soul still remains open to us. I know you

will respond to that also. I am engaged in evoking that bravery. Non-cooperation

means nothing less than training in self-sacrifice. Why should we cooperate

with you when we know that by your administration of this great

country we are being daily enslaved in an increasing degree? This response of

the people to my appeal is not due to my personality. I would like you to

dismiss me, and for that matter the Ali Brothers too, from your consideration.

My personality will fail to evoke any response to anti-Muslim cry if I were

foolish enough to raise it, as the magic name of the Ali Brothers would fail to

inspire the Mussalmans with enthusiasm if they were madly to raise an anti-

Hindu cry. People flock in their thousands to listen to us because we today

represent the voice of a nation groaning under your iron heels. The Ali Brothers

were your friends as I was, and still am. My religion forbids me to bear any ill

will towards you. I would not raise my hand against you even if I had the power.

I expect to conquer you only by my suffering. The Ali Brothers will certainly

draw the sword, if they could, in defence of their religion and their country.

But they and I have made common cause with the people of India in their

attempt to voice their feelings and to find a remedy for their distress.

You are in search of a remedy to suppress this rising ebullition of national

feeling. I venture to suggest to you that the only way to suppress it is to

remove the causes. You have yet the power. You can repent of the wrongs done

to Indians. You can compel Mr Lloyd George to redeem his promises. I assure

you he has kept many escape-doors. You can compel the Viceroy to retire in

favour of a better one, you can revise your ideas about Sir Michael O'Dwyer and

General Dyer. You can compel the Government to summon a conference of the

recognized leaders of the people, duly elected by them and representing all

shades of opinion so as to revise means for granting Swaraj in accordance with

the wishes of the people of India.

But this you cannot do unless you consider every Indian to be in reality your

equal and brother. I ask for no patronage, I merely point out to you, as a

friend, an honourable solution of a grave problem. The other solution, namely

repression, is open to you. I prophesy that it will fail. It has begun already. The

Government has already imprisoned two brave men of Panipat for holding and

expressing their opinions freely. Another is on his trial in Lahore for having

expressed similar opinions. One in the Oudh District is already imprisoned.

Another awaits judgment. You should know what is going on in your midst. Our

propaganda is being carried on in anticipation of repression. I invite you

respectfully to choose the better way and make common cause with the people

of India whose salt you are eating. To seek to thwart their aspirations isdisloyalty to the country.

I am,

Your faithful friend,

YOUTH PARLIAMENT

THE SPOUTING SPOT

EDITOR’S NOTE

The Youth parliament presents “Doodlers” an exclusive magazine to instill the writing skills in students. Mr.Mohan Kumar,Assistant placement officer,Mcet is the wind beneath our wings.  This would be a good media to showcase the declamations of the students. The write ups here would be a blend of  the contributor’s instincts over any issue unlike a specific pattern followed in most of the magazines and hence the name “DOODLERS”. Doodlers will be published every fortnight paving way for the budding writers to get sufficient practice and aspiration to write. We have staunch belief in gradual increase in the quality and style of writing of the writers. Literary feet is the much sought after

Dexterity even in the nexus of this technical world. Doodlers would make students realize the importance of it and prod them to read a lot and taste the art of making articles. Expecting the patronage of the stalwarts and the doyens to soar to the heights of success we launch our debut publication.

The race for 543 has begun..

 Elephant, Lotus, Ears of Corn and Sickle, Hammer, Sickle and Star, Hand, clock..

guessed ??

These are the 6 valid national parties. There are 47 state parties and around 1500 claimed political parties in India. Thirty-nine parties are currently present in India’s 15th parliament. No party has won a simple majority in India since 1989, ensuring that coalitions have played a major role in legislative politics. The United Progressive Allianced (UPA) coalition, lead by the Indian National Congress, has been in power for 10 years now.

There are currently 543 constituencies in which Tamil Nadu constitutes for 39 seats. It is the longest election in the country's history, conducted in 9 phases from 7 April to 12 May 2014 to constitute the 16th Lok Sabha in India. The electoral strength in 2014 is 81.45 crores, the largest in the world. There is an increase of 10 crores newly eligible voters. This also will be the the costliest general election in the history of the country.There is also an option called NOTA(none of the other) also known as "against all" or a "scratch" vote, designed to allow the voter to indicate disapproval of all of the candidates in a voting system. In my opinion, to say shortly it is a better option rather than choosing the least corrupt. No decision has been taken about the result, in case there are more number of NOTA votes. So, the candidate who has the second highest number of votes after NOTA, will be elected. Hopefully the candidate will have this feeling that they have not won because people did not want to vote.

The facts are fascinating but the question is “will we able to select an able leader? We spend about 3 hours for watching a good movie. Are we spending at least a minute for analysing who is competent in our area to make it a better place?

Abraham Lincoln stated “ Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people”. As always let us not spend time in blaming , instead think, act and excise our right to vote properly. Alert voters are pillars of democracy and vote for a change.

 UNTIE MY WINGS AND WATCH ME RULE THE SKIES!!!

 I have composed this poem in such a way that a girl foetus is pleading her mother not to kill her in the womb..

Dear Mother,

Dreams are born, not out of Compulsion;

Rather, out of Passion!

My fantasies have been dreamt already;

Give me a chance to win the reality.

I fancy to spread cheer!

A task from which I would never retire.

I am destined to abolish everything vile;

Which have been bothering the world for a while .

 I am designed to shoot out people’s greed;

Be it based on sex, colour or creed!

I will change the world’s attitude:

Spreading joy to a greater magnitude

I dream to be the Invincible:

Don’t make me Invisible;

My wings are shaping up in your Womb:
Please don’t make it my Tomb.

MELANCHOLY OF A TECHNO GEEK…..

Everyone are warriors but they fight only on ”call of duty”. Each person is a racer unleashed only in “NFS”. We have detectives specialized in criminal case. All are archers and hit bull’s eye as in the case of “angry birds”. We have great footballer’s with regards to ”FIFA”.

All these have come into place to reduce our boredom and provide us pleasure. But when we look into the matter we find that people are no longer enjoying it but are now addicted to it. The concept of getting fresh air is now ancient due to which many have now become patients. We don’t degrade the fact that technological development is the backbone of the country but the happiness of our children is a huge price for it.

Gone are the days when a ten year old cried for candy as now are the days where they cry for breakups .Facebook, twitter, whatsapp etc has crept into our society slowly but steadily and are ruining the lives of all ages alike.

Due to which we  forget to talk even to our parents and forget our families and hate our friends. The internet has become our world and we tend to forget that at last we would be the only person in it.

Hatred, ego, jealousy  have become an integral part of our life. Happiness and trust have become history due to which we tend to remain dead bodies with a heart and soul.

We don’t want a downfall of technology we just want a world in which a 10 year old thinks like one. We must maintain our relationships .Get out have some fresh air and bring our lives out of the artificial world! Open your eyes and see the world behold.

“WE have seen the birth of millennium,

We have seen the death of another

We have been through the bloom of a century

We have gone through the fall of another

We were the last to play in streets

At times renowned for enjoying the breeze

Our families were big and so were our hearts,

We relied on trust and faith alone

Words like which are now anon

Will those days come back again?

Answers are a mystery which still remains….!!”

TAKE OFF UPTO HEAVEN???

 INDIA(1999-2000): We all were currently speaking about the MH370 aircraft from Malaysia to Beijing which was lost from the world air space. There may be a Hijack also the world believes. But most of us do know the real Hijack took place in front of our eyes in India in 1999.

Indian Airlines Flight 814 commonly known as IC 814 was an Airplane A-300  travelling fromKathmandu, (“Thribhuvan”internationalterminal)Nepal to IndiraGandhi International Airport Delhi, India .On Friday, 24 December 1999, it was hijacked.The passengers were hoping that their travel is for just 2hours but they never suspected that it would  prolong for days. Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, a Pakistan-based Islamist group, was accused of the hijacking.

The aircraft was hijacked by gunmen shortly after it entered Indian airspace at about 17:30 IST. Hijackers ordered the aircraft to be flown to several locations. Touching the land in Amritsar, Lahore and Dubai, the hijackers finally forced the aircraft to land in Kandahar,Afghanistan, which at the time was controlled by the Taliban. The hijackers released 27 of 176 hostages for fuel in Dubai but fatally stabbed one and wounded several others.

India's lack of recognition of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan complicated negotiations between Indian authorities and the hijackers. Taliban moved its well-armed fighters near the hijacked aircraft in an attempt to prevent Indian special forces to perform commando operation in their land.

The motive for the hijacking appears to have been to secure the release of Islamist terrorists held in prison in India. The hostage crisis lasted for seven days and ended after India agreed to release three militants — Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh and Maulana Masood Azhar. These militants have since been implicated in other terrorist actions, such as 9/11 , the kidnap and murder of Daniel Pearland Mumbai terror attacks. Finally the hostages were released on January 1,2000 the new year day.

AN UNEDUCATED EDUCATOR

 I had a chance to read a poem written by Charles Grand John. It was the story behind it that moved me. Here is the miserable situation that made him feel ashamed of himself.

Once he was on a journey. And he saw a young chap, who would be around 25 years, entering the train. He was a kind of weird fellow with rashes, who is not educated. And he looked like a drug addict, wearing shabby clothes of poor class. Followed by two stations, a rich aristocratic family entered with two tiny boys, aged around 7 and 5. They came and sat next to this guy. The poet was observing everything as he was sitting opposite to this family and next to that ugly chap. That young guy started to bring a mood of joy by playing and entertaining the kids with his cheap mobile, making funny sounds and all kinds of noises. For everyone it looked strange. The poet thought that the guy was insane.

Within one hour, the journey ended, the two tiny boys were not ready to get down from the train because of the joy they got from that guy and that young guy realized his real position in life and he came to his senses that he could not even afford to buy a cheap toy for those kids. He dropped a tear when he got out of the train.

This scenario made the poet think that being an educated human, he was not even willing to talk to those kids or laugh either, inspite of  being  uneducated, he brought joy and affection in the kids. The poet finally concluded the poem with a question- “Is he an Uneducated Educator or I am an Educated Illiterate?”

Well, it is the scenario of the present world. Everyone is rushing towards life’s useless pleasure, missing the real happiness that life gives us. The sad fact is that, many parents of this generation don’t even find time to spend time with their own kids. Where are we heading to???

 STAY CLOSE TO NATURE!!

 We are in the busy hustle bustle machine world we don’t have time to stay closer  with nature. But I had a chance to attend the Eco-education nature camp, which paved way to explore the beauty of our own mother land.

 The Eco-education nature camp strongly focus on native forest preservation, wildlife conservation, regeneration of the source and the importance of the divine shola forest. We were asked to stay in tents, which near entirely of new experience for me and the notable thing is that we didn’t have any electrical options there including lights, plug and everything, we used only torches and the ancient night lamp during night.

When I just entered into the shola forest, I felt like I was in my mother’s womb. The cool breeze in the air, the enchanting music of the birds, the dancing trees and the silver cascade made by soul stay there. It was like another heaven. I wonder if the dew drops loves the trees and fields, that if kisses them so gently. But just then I remembered I have come for  Eco-Education camp.

           But the present scenario is to pay for fresh air and pure water. The technological development in various field has eventually lead us to global warming. People involve in deforestation and other illegal activities only for money. But still they don’t really understand that we can’t breathe money!!!

At least now, lets nurture nature for our future!!!

 MEANING OF LIFE..

 Set of complex chemical processes by which some molecular assemblies acquire special potentials, among them the abilities to get energy and matter from the environment, to move, and even to reproduce themselves. On our planet (at the very least), this process formed, thanks to a progressive increase in scale, all along millions years of tries, by means of a few basic organic bricks (the A, T, C, G "letters" of DNA) some thousands of functional patterns (called genes) along the huge helicoidal molecules of DNA. These genes code the development of specialized organs allowing all the huge organisms to move, to feed themselves, to reproduce themselves with both some long-term stability and some potential for slight change (and thus adaptation and long-term evolution), and even to treat information. Some of those organs treating information became complex enough, for some species, to allow its representatives to learn bipedal walk, to create tools, to get an articulate language, to build their own artificial universe, to evolve in it, and even, eventually, to be able to hold some sign saying: "THE MEANING OF LIFE IS TO GIVE LIFE A MEANING."so try to add a meaning to your life.

Letter to Mrs.Indira Gandhi on her 13th birthday by Pandit.Jawaharlal Nehru:

Central Prison, Naini

October 26, 1930

 My dear Indira,

On your birthday you have been in the habit of receiving presents and good wishes.

Good wishes you will still have in full measure, but what present can I send you from

Naini prison? My presents cannot be very material or solid. They can be of the mind

and spirit, …. Things that even the high walls of prison cannot stop.

You know sweetheart, how I dislike sermonizing and doling out good advice ……. I

have always thought that the best way to find out what is right and what is not right,

what should be done and what should not be done, is not by giving a sermon, but by

talking and discussing, and out of discussion sometimes a little bit of truth comes

out. I have liked my talks with you and we have discussed many things, but the world

is wide and beyond our world lie other wonderful and mysterious worlds …….. none

of us need ever be bored or imagine ….. that we have learned everything worth

learning and become very wise.……But what am I to do then?

A letter can hardly take the place of a talk; at best it is a one-sided affair ….

In history we read of great periods in the life of nations, of great men and women ..

do you remember how fascinated you were when you first read the story of Jeanne d’Arc,

and how your ambition was to be something like her? Ordinary men and women are

not usually heroic. They think of their bread and butter, of their children, of their

household worries and the like. But a time comes when a whole people become

interested in a great cause. Then history helps even simple, ordinary men and women

to become heroes. Great leaders have something in them which inspires a whole

people and makes them do great deeds…… In India a great leader, full of love for all

who suffer and eager to help them, has inspired our people to great actions and noble

sacrifice. He has helped to make the starving, the poor and the oppressed free and

happy. Bapuji is in prison, but the magic of his message has stolen the hearts of India’s

millions. Men and women, and even little children, come out of their little shells and

become India’s soldiers of freedom. In India today we are making history, and you

and I are fortunate to see this happening before our eyes and to take some part ourselves

in this great drama. What part shall we play in it?

If we are to be India’s soldiers we have to respect India’s honour, and that honour is

a sacred trust…. It is no easy matter to decide what is right and what is not. One little

test I shall ask you to apply whenever you are in doubt … Never do anything in secret

or anything that you would wish to hide. For the desire to hide anything means that

you are afraid, and fear is a bad thing and unworthy of you. Be brave, and all the rest

follows …. You know that in our great Freedom Movement, under Bapuji’s leadership,

there is no room for secrecy or hiding. We have nothing to hide. We are not afraid of

what we do or what we say. We work in the sun and in the light. Even so in our

private lives let us make friends with the sun and work in the light and do nothing

secretly. ….. and if you do so, my dear you will grow up a child of the light, unafraid

and serene and unruffled, whatever may happen.

I have written a very long letter to you. And yet there is so much I would like to tell

you. How can a letter contain it? Good-bye, little one, and may you grow up into a

brave soldier in India’s service.

With all my love and good wishes.

You loving father,

(J.L. Nehru)
