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,
M. K. GANDHI
