Ajai Verma was a fearless, generous, kindhearted, caring and focused person. His power of analysis of all the situations he was faced with was so profound, that it left people nodding their heads in agreement and wonder. He was known to be diligent, extremely efficient, always reliable, and was focused on achieving goals he set for himself. Throughout his battle with cancer he worked tirelessly to realize his dreams, one of which was to build a hospital at Parel, in Central Mumbai. When a great person dies, we feel a jolt of sadness and loss. Mr. Verma's presence was not only comforting, but having him around made those near him feel safe, secure and confident. The pain is personal for those who knew him well. For others, it is the sense that we have lost one who gave us special insights, and his absence is almost incomprehensible. However, we have to learn to be without his physical presence, and be guided by his dreams and vision, to achieve targets he laid down for us. 4 From the Principal s Desk W e witnessed a major setback in the loss of our President - Mr. Ajay Verma on October 10th 2013, the guiding star of the college. In him we have lost a visionary, philosopher & guide. But it is his inspirations that we follow - to work with renewed vigour , a challenge ahead to fulfill his dreams in full measure. to take the college This year has been a very significant year in the history of MD College for the completion of 50 years in its journey. The Academic year of 2012-13 was celebrated as The Golden Jubilee Year of the college. I am extremely proud of our achievement and I am grateful for all the hard work invested by our teachers, non-teaching staff and students. I would like to thank all the members of the MD family as this would not have been possible without their support and commitment. The student talent at the grand cultural programme at Shanmukhanand hall with Education Mininster Mr. Rajesh Tope as the chief guest and Bharat Jadhav and Smita Jaykar as Guests of honor was highly appreciated. Sciexpedia, Commerce Quiz, UGC & ICSSR sponsored Seminar ,intercollegiate NSS festival - Sphurti were all landmark programmes for the golden jubilee year organized by the college. This year the college has achieved accolades - NSS- Best unit -2011-12 (Mumbai Unit) was a feather in the cap. Dr. Avinash Karande NSS Co-ordinator was adjudged the best Co-ordinator (Mumbai Unit). The college has won the prestigious "Jagar Janivancha" competition at the Mumbai Zone under the able leadership of Ms. Priya Parker. Dr. (Ms.) C. S. Panse was awarded a Consultancy Project, the first of its kind for the college. The College has a collaboration with Maharashtra Times for Women Entrepreneur Counselling. Major Research Projects approved for Dr. (Ms.) K. P. Sundari, Dr. Dr. (Ms.) M. D. Kulkarni, yet furthering research activity in the college. (Ms.) Bharati Nirgudkar & The College reverberated 3 days with Yoga by none other than Sanyasis from Bihar School of Munger. It was such a soothing effect for staff, students and community alike, so much so the college has decided to conduct Yoga courses as consistent activity of the college. The college is slowly & surely moving ahead on its Glocal map to achievement. With all our achievements I would like to reiterate that, while academic excellence is our major thrust, the College is also devoted to prepare our students for life, groom them to face the challenges of tomorrow, and encourage them to be socially relevant. We encourage each child to develop in their special field of interest so as to showcase their talent. We constantly endeavour to always live up to this ideology and inculcate this into everything we do, with the aim that we will be able to ensure that the children grow to their full potential, while constantly being groomed to pass out as men and women competent to bear responsibility in all walks of life. Considering today s ever changing scenario, as well as in preparations for tomorrow, the four attributes of Comprehension, Computation, Communication and Cooperation should be the prime focus of a good learning institution. Nelson Mandela says "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world". I totally agree with Abdul Kalam as he says "Educationists should build the capacities of the spirit of inquiry, creativity, entrepreneurial and moral leadership among students and become their role model." To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal. Dr. T. P. Ghule Principal 5 N owadays, people argue whether an ideal lifestyle should be a stable one or should it include a wide range of changes. Whether changes are needed - should be determined - by the stages of lives you are at. Alternations in life are favourable to the development of young people, with regard to their careers. Primarily, an abundant experience in various jobs enables the young to master a broad range of techniques and skills, leading to significant edge over the counterparts in the competition for employment. Meanwhile, trying various roles in life and work provides wide selections of lifestyles for the young in the future. Only after this comparison can they realize what the real goals of their lives should be striven for. Our whole life, we have been presented to a single element called change. Change occurs in many different forms and is carried out in many different ways. However, we have realized that change can be the deepest of all subjects. We always assume that change occur when we move to a new town or when you lose someone close to you. Those are elements to change, yes, but change doesn t have to occur over a single dramatic event. It can just happen overnight when your brain determines it s time to do something different. For obvious reasons, people reject change. They fight the change until they force the person to change. Talking about change, note should be taken that Maharshi Dayanand College has changed over the past 50 years for the good. Amidst the myriad of constituents that comprise our rich legacy, there remains the underlying highlight that we re into our 50th year of completion. A landmark in itself, a host of sentiments can be assigned to such an iconic landmark in our journey to the future. Memories of benefactors that contributed to the genesis of our organization still form the foundation of our legacy. This was followed by the continuation of the evolution at the hands of stalwarts, responsible in moulding the identity and persona that has come to be associated with M.D. College. Today, a montage of students from a plethora of backgrounds, amass the constitution of our institution. We have ushered in a new era in the field of Knowledge. We prefer to use the term knowledge over the term education - education being useless - unless it indoctrinates some knowledge in our students. It s time to move on. Scour for new horizons, at the same time, be true and stick to our roots, thoughts, principles and our founder s philosophy. We have changed, but paradoxically, we are still the same.

It instills valuable qualities. It is the connection between mind and body and really helps in increasing your concentration, detoxifying your body, increasing you endurance and building up your personality. The education that is imparted in our schools and colleges is mainly intellectual. It is true that every school and college has a playground and offers facilities like Cricket and Foot Ball. But participation in games is not compulsory and little account is taken of it while awarding certificates and degrees. Besides there is acute shortage of playground in cities. The organic connection between mind and body pay more attention and importance to the physical training. Outdoor games like Hockey, Foot Ball, Basket Ball and Tennis are the best means of ensuring physical health and development. They provide not only exercise to the body but also recreation for mind. Boys and girls have natural inclination towards sports and they derive exercise from them in an agreeable form, without specially exerting themselves. They return to studies feeling refreshed and energetic. Sports also inculcates valuable qualities in young people. They learn how to cooperate with one another and to subordinate their selfish desires to the interests of the team. They learn to play the game, practicing fair play and showing generosity towards, their opponents. In simple words we must cultivate the value of sportsmanship, which consists of playing a game according to its rules and accepting defeat with good temper. They are likely to follow the sportsman spirit in life also, showing honesty and uprightness in their dealing with others and never using unfair means to attain personal ends. There are so many adventure sports in the world which only a minority take part. Sports like mountaineering, scuba diving, sky diving, surging, etc. are some examples of adventure sports. As experts say that sports like these help in tackling real life situations. For instance hiking, surging and rafting have saved a lot of innocent life who are in danger. Surfing, an adventure sport is widely popular in countries like USA, Australia and Hawaii. It is a great sport having to control yourself and the board from the flowing wave. It is a dangerous sport as huge waves trap surfers in ocean but surfing gives many people ability to make it out alive without external force as surfers use hand to push him on the board in sea, making hand of the surfer strong and very good for swimming and also save their fellow colleagues in the sea. Mountain hiking is very popular. Participants in those sports are very fit and powerful. Resulting hiking is famous in Army, Navy, Air Force and the Marines. While rescuing someone in distress, it has been very helpful. Hikers tie up the injured person, strap him and descent down. In most cases they have succeeded with a very good success record. Rafting is again very popular in countries like US, UK and Canada, where the winds blow strongly. It is very hard, challenging and a team sport in which there has been records of rescue made during rafting. When people drown or are drifted inside the sea the machine and the motor boats do the job but if the machine does not work then the rafting team comes in. Scuba diving - many do it for fun and exploring the deep seas. It has no major accidents. Its a sport which keep you fit and enjoyable. Bhagyashree Sawant F.Y.B.A. CHILD LABOUR The child is the father of man . This famous line quoted by William Wordsworth refers to the importance of the child for the development of society as well as for the all-round development of the human race. Childhood is the time to garner the best physical, intellectual and emotional capacity to fulfill this duty towards the nation and to one s own self. However, this simple rule of nature has been scribbled by the evergrowing menance of child labour. If one conceives the idea of child labour, it brings before eyes the picture 119 of exploitation of little, physically tender, illiterate and under nourished children working in hazardous and unhealthy conditions. About 250 million children between the age of five and fourteen work in developing countries. At least 120 million of these children work on a full-time basis. In India the conservative estimate is about 11.3 million (according the 1991 censure), but the International Labour Organization (ILO) estimated it at 23.2 million 1996. Both estimates include full-time and marginal child workers. Most working children in rural areas are found in agriculture; many work as domestic labourers. Urban children work in the trade and services sector. While some other work in manufacturing and construction. Such children range from four years old doing petty jobs to seventeen years olds helping out on the family farms. Denied education and a normal childhood, some children, confined and beaten, are often reduced to slavery. At times they are denied freedom of movement the right to leave the workplace and visit their families. Some are abducted and forced to work. Instances of human rights abuses in such practices are clear and acute. Child agricultural workers frequently work for hours in the heat, haul heavy loads of grains are exposed to toxic pesticides and suffer high rated of injury from sharp, dangerous tools. Children working in factories often work near hot furnaces, handle hazardous chemicals like arsenic and potassium, work in glass blowing units where the work harms their lungs, damages their eyes and causes diseases like tuberculosis, asthma and bronchitis. Some are injured in fire accidents. They become unemployable at the age of 20. If injured or incapacitated, they are mercilessly discarded by are subjected to verbal and physically abuse, at times even sexual abuse. They may be fired from their work, losing not only the job but their place of shelter as well. Child domestic workers mostly girls, work for long hours for little or no pay. Millions of children are involved in work that, under any circumstances, is considered unacceptable for children, including the sale and trafficking of children into debt bondage, serfdom and forced labour. It includes the forced recruitment of children for armed conflict, commercial sexual exploitation and other illicit activities such as drug trafficking. The government says that it is not easy to completely end child labour. It, therefore has only tired to improve their working conditions.... reducing working hours ensuring minimum wages and providing facilities for health and education. It can be said that the government measures have three main components legal action focusing on general welfare, development programs for child workers and their families and a project - based on action plan. The present factories Act 1948 prescribes prohibitory actions for employment of children below 14 years of age in any factory. Indian Mines Act 1951 prohibits employment of children below 16 year in the any underground mines. The main instrument for the regulation of child labour in India was launched in the year 1986. This was the child labour (Prohibition and regulation) Act 1986. It came to being due to the requirement of ILO convention and foresee ability of the National Seminar on Employment of Children in 1975, to prevent exploitation of children. Successive governments have been aware of the need for release of these children from hazardous work and their rehabilitation through education. With this end in view, the National Polity on child labour was formulated in August 1984. The National Child Labour Projects were conceptualized and launched around the same later on, it was further strengthened for the total liberation of all rehabilitation through a composite package under the National Child Labour Projects which are to be administered under the Societies Registration Act, 1960. Recently, the Parliament s adoption of the right of children to free the compulsory Education Bill 2009, has also ushered in a new ray of hope for the deprived children of India. The problem of child labour must be recognized as a human rights problem both directly (eg. - Slavery) and indirectly (eg. - Compulsory labour that results in denial of the right to education). It embraces not only "the right through which, at least civil, political, social, cultural and economic rights. The policy makers as also the ordinary citizens must understand that the future of children would not be secured unless their rights are clearly identified, redefined and restored. Seen from this perspective, it becomes a mandatory duty of all governments across the world to take all possible steps to put and end to the problem of child labour once and for all. Today s children will constitute the backbone of tomorrows society. Hence, it is obligation of every generation to bring up children, who will be citizens of tomorrow, in a proper way. Nandita Gupta F.Y.J.C.(Comm) 120 THE WORLD IN THE 21ST CENTURY I am an optimist though many terrible deeds of violence like the world wars, nuclear blasts and acts of terrorism have taken place in the 20th century. I have not lost faith in human nature. I still believe that the world in the 21st century will be a wonderful place to live in. A millennium has ended and a new one has begun. Despite all the warnings of fanatics and conmen, the world has not ended. It is perhaps, more polluted than it was a thousand years ago, and terribly overburdened with the evergrowing human population. But it is still quite inhabitable. I believe that the world promises to be a better place for man to live in, in the near future. And there are plenty of reasons for this. I am confident that man s wisdom and goodness will ultimately prevail. This will end mutual suspicion and distrust amongst nations. All the nations of the world will strive to form a world government. Since there will be no need for armies and armaments, the huge expenditure incurred on them will be saved. This amount will be utilized for the welfare of the people of the world. Everyone will be properly fed, clothed and sheltered. Poverty will be eradicated. Every man and woman will get work best suited to his or her aptitude. The work will therefore, contribute not only to the welfare of the people but also to the development of their personality. Education will be free for all. It will cultivate broad-minded human beings of refined tastes and interests. Their minds will be free of all supersitions blind beliefs and narrow loyalties. They will be citizens of the world, and not of any particular country. Pollution will gradually become a thing of the past. There will be pure air and water. Rivers and seas will be clean and clear. There will be less noise. There will be peace, plenty and prosperity for one and all. People will enjoy the fruits of their labour and the comforts of civilization much more in the future. This is how I visualize the world in 21st century.

Aarti Salunke T.Y.B.A. STILL WE ARE PROUD TO BE INDIANS Our country is very famous for its tradition, culture, religious monuments, etc. The phrase Mera Bharat Mahaan is said by maximum citizens. This phrase means that My country is Great . Do you also think the same? If yes then let s see some of the Greatness of our country. We are so proud of the Olympics winners of India. They have done a very good job in their sport. Our country has won zero gold medals in this Olympics. This a very good progress. Our country is not even capable of winning even one gold medal. That means our country cannot even produce a player of any sport who could be called as World Champion in that sport. India ranks second in terms of population-first is 121 China which has secured almost 1/4th of the total Olympics medals. This is a shame for our country which is hidden by awards, rewards for the players by the politician. Still we are proud to be Indians ... We are currently World Champions in cricket. But how many of you people know the position of India in Football. Cricket is the second most popular sport after Football. Our country does not even get qualified for playing FIFA World Cup which is considered to be the biggest world cup. It is only one way traffic in sports that is for cricket. Still we are proud to be Indians ... One of the biggest terrorist in the world Osama Bin Laden has been killed in his country and at his house by the USA as soon as they received order from their President. Osama Bin Laden was the culprit for the 9/11 attack. And one of Osama s colleague Ajmal Kasab has been treated as a VIP in our nation, though Ajmal Kasab is the culprit for 26/11 attack in Mumbai. Still we are proud to be Indians ... Green Revolution was a very important revolution for the universe. The agriculture productivity increased rather rapidly after the Green Revolution. After the Green Revolution the agricultural productivity in India was 226 tones per hectare. On the other hand, Switzerland which has almost less than 1/4th of our total population. Switzerland s agricultural productivity after Green Revolution was 2286 tones per hectare. This shows the quality of farming which has been practiced by farmers of our nation. Still we are proud to be Indians ... The national income of three countries that is Pakistan, Liberia, Nigeria added together, is a little less than 5 lakh crores. And our country is so great that our scams can cross that amount. The scams in India that is 2G Scam, Coal Scan (Coal Gates), Commonwealth Games Scam, Delhi International Airport (DIAL) Scam, IPL Scam, etc. Our country is so great that the amount in scam doesn t really make the citizens any loss. The citizens only know to pay tax and to be proud of being Indians. I hope that you would be still proud of being an Indian. After all Mera Bharat Mahaan . So feel proud of being an Indian. Varun Thakur F.Y.J.C.(Com.) TERRORISM AND INDIA Twenty years ago the word terrorist was unknown to India. Basically India is a peace loving country. India s relation with neighbouring country is always friendly. India is a fast progressing country in Asia, which is not liked by Pakistan. Pakistan suffers from communal clashes and its economy is very poor. So, Pakistan creates problems in India, particularly in Kashmir. Pakistan unlawfully occupied part of Kashmir claiming that Kashmir is the part of Pakistan. When Pakistan didn t succeed to get Kashmir by their way, they malignated the youth of Kashmir by offering them money. Thus, for the sake of some money, terrorists burn the house of the people who have not done anything. These terrorists are given training in Pakistan and provided them with the latest weapons. They are trained how to make bombs. Thus, since last twenty years, thousands of people including children, women and other people have been killed by the terrorists. On the other hand these terrorists have been killed by Indian military. This kind of killing innocent people is a barbaric act and is hated by the world from time to time. Now, terrorism is spread all over the country. Sometime back they tried to damage parliament. But their plan failed due to our tight security arrangement. But terrorists were successful in Akshardham case, where hundreds of people were killed. Recently the terrorists planted bombs in Mumbai local trains and a serial bomb blast had taken place and hundreds of people were killed. By all these terrorists activities are increasing day by day. But people do not panic. People are maintaining peace and doing their routine work. These terrorist will not succeed in their ultimate aim to get their demand fulfilled. Hope, one day we will see that these terrorists and terrorism will get an end forever and the human beings on earth will live in peace and harmony as before.

Many troubles you may face, Make it a habit, its all in case. Life in your chin and set your shoulders, Plant your feet and take a brace What is this future all about ? It s just a life of words allround Black may be the clouds around you, And the future may seem grim But don t let your where desert you, Keep yourself in fighting grim Be hard to challenge every task, And always don t wear a mask This world is bound of different faces, It s upto you, how you deal with these cars. Don t give up, whatever you do, Go ahead and see it though You may fail, but don t give your life inhail. Life is long but just once Laugh and be merry, As the world is around God made the heaven and earth for you Strive till the game is played, Be glad till the music ends, As life finds its own way ...

Akshaya Joraskar F.Y.J.C.(Sci.) 124 SELF HYPNOSIS WORKSHOP On 25th Aug 12 a group of MD College teachers and students had a life transforming experience. They learnt something very unique that brought a beautiful change in their lives. It was something that flushed out all the pessimism out of everyone s mind and replaced it with optimism and confidence. It was time to wave good bye to all problems and complaints related to health, stress, anger, hysterical situations etc. Everyone was grateful to the convener of this programme Dr. K.P. Sundari and convener of personality development Prof. Monika Verma who gave everyone this opportunity to purify their souls and get a massive change. This transformation was nothing but SELF HYPNOSIS . The self hypnosis workshop was especially for the students of MD College and it was conducted by Dr. Yogesh Vasandi who is a certified hypnotherapist from the California Hypnosis Institute. He is also into past life regressions and has conducted many workshops across India and abroad. He improved many lives making them better and now it was our turn to make the best of it. Self hypnosis takes one to their subconscious mind and purifies it. It helps one in relaxing mentally and physically. This hypnotherapy helps to overcome over 180 problems and makes one feel fresh as a flower after its practice. At the end of this workshop many had overcome their stage fear and proved it by speaking in public. Many who had health and diet related complaints were doing better without medications and were getting happier and healthier. This not only helped individuals but also made their environments and surrounding cheerful, pleasant and peaceful. Bhagyashree Sawant F.Y.B.A. PERSEVERANCE IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS "Perseverance" is an attitude of persuing one single idea, discipline, ideal, rules to achieve a goal - inspite of facing number of difficulties, obstructions, hurdles, failures, etc. It means to be persistent and patience when focusing on a specific task or even life in general. It means to complete and to finish your task, it means never give up and stick to the course and direction. Friends, success in life does not come easily! There are number of failures and hurdles, you have to pass through before you achieve something worthwhile in life. The only undying quality imbibed in every successful man, is the quality of perseverance. It is the quality which makes even seemingly impossible possible; there are number of examples of great persons who achieved success in their life through perseverance. Let s first take the example of Abraham Lincoln. A man who had struggled very hard in his early life and had to pass through very hard time. But the way we remember him today says it all ... He was born as a son of a wood cutter. Would have disheartened any person but not Abraham Lincoln. He failed in business and was defeated in elections. His fiancee died. He had nervous break down and many more in his years to go by. But rest all that we know is history! The only way to achieve excellence is through dedication & discipline, in other words, "perseverance". I know many people around who mistakenly think that natural talent is the magic ingredient for success. While talent is certainly a plus, it is by no means the key that will get you into the game industry. Think about it for a moment, how many very talented people do you know personally who are much better successful people in the world? Like me I ll bet you can say that you know quite a few. And yet, most of these gifted artists will never be known outside their own little circle why? Because natural talent alone is not enough. Talent to me is the potential in you, hidden and waiting to get awakened. It is like getting some kind of disease, you might get it, there is a potential for it, unless you lead a healthy life. In other words, talent is achievable through perseverance. Obviously there are cases that some one is born with above average voice, sense of rhythm and rocking talent for playing drums or exceptional drawing skills. This natural ability will most often make that person learn certain things quicker than you, but it does not mean they are better than you. Obviously that person will be noticed quickly and admired due to his/her talent. But just because you can hold a pencil and draw something beautiful doesn t make you an artist. Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail. Some people give up too soon even before the game begins, being defeated is often a temporary condition, giving up is what makes it permanent, the greatest is given up. Defeat may test you, it need not stop you. Follow your dream, take one 125 step at a time and don t settle for less, just continue climbing, follow your dream and if you stumble don t stop. Keep your eyes on your goal if at first you don t succeed, try another way for every obstacle there is a solution. Nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance, it is an essential factor in transmitting dreams and desire into success. Will power, the basics of perseverance when combined with desire make an outstanding part. Without perseverance, you will be defeated even before you start but with perseverance you will win. Those who have cultivated the habit of perseverance seem to enjoy insurance against failure, no matter how many times they fail, they finally reach to the top. Most people give up fast when they are about to achieve, success. Success is failure turned inside out, and you can never tell how close you are, it may be near when it seems afar, so stick to the fight when you are hardest hit. It is when things seem worst you must not quit. People who succeed in the face of seemingly impossible conditions are people who simply don t know how to quit because it is virtually impossible to succeed at anything while the thought of quitting fills the mind. When nothing turns out the way we planned, quitting must be the easiest but never the smartest thing to do, might be obliged to but never the most rewarding action to take. When things get tough and you don t quit, that is your first step to achieving success. One more step today can change your life forever. Success is connected with action, successful people keep moving. They make mistakes but then don t quit. Challenges may come at first sight but it takes a second sight to see the real fact. This is not the time to give up, no matter the intensity of the state is trying to dash your dream. It is always easy to quit that s why many engage in the art of failure because they seem to ignore the art of "perseverance". Don t pack your bags yet, try it once again ... Amelia D souza F.Y.B.A. MUMABI - CITY OF DREAMS Welcome to Mumbai - The city of dreams and home to rich and famous. Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay is the capital of the Indian state of Maharashtra. With an estimated population of about 13 million, it is the largest metropolis in India and one of the most populous cities in the world. With a population of 19 millions, Mumbai Metropolitan area is also the world 5th most populated metropolitan area. Mumbai is one of the world s top 10 centers of commerce in terms of global financial flow. Mumbai is also the commercial and entertainment capital of India and houses important financial institution like Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) and the corporate headquarters of many Indian companies and numerous multinational corporation. The city is home to Bollywood the largest film industry in the world. Mumbai attracts migrants from all over the India, because of the immense employment opportunities and the relatively high standard of living. Located off the west coast of India, Mumbai has a deep natural sea harbour. The city handles over half of India s passenger traffic and significant amount of cargo. Mumbai is also one of the few cities in the world that accommodates a National Park, the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, within in city limit. A resident of Mumbai is called a Mumbaikar or Bombayite. Many residents lives close to major railway stations for easy access to their workplaces as a significant amount of time is spent on daily commuting. Thus, many live a fast placed life. The financial hub of India as well as entertainment capital of India, the port city of Mumbai pulsates with activity all the year around. With all its razzle-dazzle, it has been the hollywood to all Indian stargazers. Right from the Victoria Terminus to the Juhu Beach the city is full of treasures people from various places come to city of dreams in search of better opportunities. The inborn desire to become an actor or simply be successful in life draws people to Magnetic Mumbai. But is Mumbai really the city of dreams? All have their own opinion on it. Mumbai is the city that accepts everyone with open arms. Many people come to Mumbai everyday in achieving something big. Mumbai has given birth to great personalities such as Ambani, Mittal, etc. 126 The life in Mumbai is so fast paced that there is no scope for social life. By each passing day people are losing contact with their social circle. Leave alone outsiders, people hardly get time to communicate with their own family members. Is this what we call achieving dreams? Today everyone is running around to achieve some thing to make a mark for themselves and to accomplish their desires. But in doing this they barely get a moment to enjoy whatever they already have. Everyone is running to earn Vitamin M. i.e. Money. But they don t get time to have the benefit of their earning. Is this what we call achieving dreams? I don t think so. I agree that to attain something you have to let go the other but that is for the time being and not for your entire life. How can you be trustful in decision making if the choice you made doesn t give you happiness. Not only adults, even school going children go through what corporates call working within deadlines. They have their own strenuous timetable. From attending school to coaching class, to extra curriculur class to completing their home work. They all are operational with deadlines. Why is it so that suicide rate among children and teen is higher these days? It s because that firstly they are taking so much pressure from young age. And secondly they don t have anybody to share it with. Parents are working. Children take the drastic step - suicide. Is this what we call city of dreams? But still people find this kind of life extremely addictive and love residing in Mumbai. If they are given a transformation they get aggravated. The reason for this could be the warm nature of Mumbaikars. We got to see an example of this on 26th July 2005. When there were floods in Mumbai, everyone came forward to help leaving aside all other work and inhibitions. That one day the doors of all Mumbaikars were opened for strangers. This is the kind of spirit people in Mumbai live with. This great sense of belonging and warmth of the city keeps it going and even under tremendous exhaustion and anxiety people keep smiling and keep loving Mumbai - The city of Dreams. Come on over and be a part of Magic called Mumbai and life won t be the same again.

As a little boy, I couldn t figure out by looking beneath what the quilt would look like without looking on the top side, to see the pattern that she was making. Sometimes when I board an airplane there are dark clouds and it rains. But in a few minutes the plane is above the clouds and the sun is shining. I can assure you that, above the clouds in your life the sun is shining. God is still there despite any tragedy that you may be experiencing. Why does god allow tragedy? On Nov. 26, 2009, when the Taj Hotel in Mumbai burned, survivors were brought into the Convention Center, where meetings were being held. In an interview C.M. Vilasrao Deshmukh talked about the good times at the Taj only 24 hours before "And how quickly", he said, "the magic has stopped". Some day, for all of you, if you don t know God, the magic will stop. It will all be over. The Bible says, "It is appointed for man to die one day, but after this the judgement" (Hebrews 9:29). The Bible says that Job suddenly lost all of his wealth and his children. He did not know that a mighty spiritual battle was going on. Satan has accused God of making Job his pet and giving his worldly possessions. The devil said to God, "If you take all those possessions away from him, he'll curse you and turn from you". But God replied, "You can do anything to him, except you can't kill him, and then we'll see" (Job 1:11-12). Job never asked why those things were happening to him. The closest he ever came across was when he said, "Show me why you fight with me" (Job 10:2). Job was sharing his agony of spirit with the very God he could not understand. Suffering carries a number of messages to all of us. Suffering carries a message of mystery. For humans, there is a mystery as to why God created the earth. There is a mystery as to why he put people on this earth. But God has revealed answers through the Bible and through the person of his son Jesus Christ. In the Bible you will find the answers to the questions and the problems of your life. But man rebelled against God. Man said, "I don t need you, God. I can build my world without you". God said, "If you take that position, you will suffer and die." Man took that position and he began to suffer and he has been dying ever since. Physical death is just the death of the body, but the spirit lives on. If your spirit is separated from God for eternity, it is lost forever. 128 The Bible teaches that Satan is the author of sin. Sin is the reason that we have afflictions, including death itself, are a result of man s rebellion against God. But God has provided a rescue in the person of his son, Jesus Christ. That s why Christ died on the cross. That s why he rose from the dead. In suffering there is also a message of compassion, Jesus said, "for I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in; I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to me": (Mathew 25:35-36). As fire swept through the Taj Hotel, the emergency crews, the military people, the salvation army, the Red Cross, the doctors, the nurses and the people came to donate clothes and food. I saw compassion in action. In suffering there is a message of unity, Issaac s twin sons, Jacob and Esau, had been fending and fighting. But when Isaac died, they came to bury him. Because of their father s death, the two sons came together. (Eg: we learn unity). Jesus prayed "that they all may be one, as you, father, are in me, and I in you" (John 17:21). And that s the way we ought to be. If you have been born into the family of God, you are a child of God. You are brothers and sisters. Suffering holds a message of comfort. In second Corinthians we read, "Blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of mercies and God of all Comfort, who comforts us in all our tributation, that we may be above to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God" (II Corinthians 1:3-4). Because tragedy happened to you, it gives you a greater sense of oneness with others who experience tragedy. You can feel for them in that suffering solution. Because we have been comforted through the word of God, we in turn may be able to comfort others. What should be our attitude towards suffering? First, it should be one of worship, we ought to say, "O God, I believe you are the great and mighty God. I don t understand all the things that are happening in my life, but O God, I trust in you." Second, we should ask God to teach us all to learn about him, about ourselves, about others and how we can help those who are suffering. Third, our attitude in suffering should glorify God. People are going to watch us. They will ask, "How he or she was able to help others?" Jesus suffered and died for us on the Cross, but God raised him from the dead. Jesus Christ now sits at the right hand of God the Father and he sees our suffering. He sees our life everyday and knows exactly where we stand. The Bible teaches that we are to be patient in suffering. That s the hardest thing of all, to be patient, to have songs in the night. Tears become telescopes to heaven, bringing eternity a little closer. In suffering there is also I believe, a message of warning. The Prophet Amos said, "you were like a fire brand plucked from the burning; yet you have not returned to me (Amos 4:11-12). Are you prepared to meet God? What do you have to do to be ready? God took the initiative in giving his son, Jesus Christ. God says, "I love you. I want to forgive you. I want you to go to heaven." But you must respond to him. How do you respond? You respond by doing three things. First, repent for your sins. Say, "Lord, I m a sinner. I m willing to repent for my sins." This involves a change in the way you think and the way you live. Jesus said, "Unless you repent, you will perish" (cf. Luke 13:3). Second, by faith you must receive God into your heart. Faith means total commitment. It means you have to bring your mind and your emotions to God by faith. You have to say, "Lord, I will receive God into my heart." Third, receive God into your heart as Lord and Master and Saviour, follow him and serve him from this moment on. Shyam Songa F.Y.B.A. 129 A TRUE ANGEL THIS WAS ALL IN MY HEART!

C.) 130 SPIRITUALITY STARTS WHERE SCIENCE ENDS On my Everest Climb, I experienced beautiful changes. Indeed I must say "Life Changing Experiences". Many of the events that occurred in this expedition eradicated that atheist feel out of my life and started building me optimistically towards "Belief, Spirituality, God..." In Nepal and China I mainly came across Buddhism. In Nepal, I got the blessings from Lama Geysu (3rd generation Lama). He gave me a pendant made of some holy script wrapped in a cloth and threaded all around. He said it was a female Goddess and that she has 1000 hands. Any of the calamity that comes to you, she will spread her arms out deviating them in a different direction and secure you. It didn t really convince my modern day mind that only believed in science. But in order to respect my Sherpa s emotions I agreed to wear it. At the final stage of HAS (High Altitude Sickness), that had brushed all my memory, diminished my eyesight, left no ability to walk, drained all the oxygen out of my blood, swollen cerebellum(affected language), etc. Death to be followed in the very next stage, I entered at a point where I wasn t alive neither dead. I didn t understand anything happening around me. I didn t realize what was happening to me. My loss of memory didn t even let me remember my identity, my parents, my friends, and everything else that existed. My diminished eyesight showed be just a blurred visual of nothing but all that was white. Was experiencing Trance without any material. Survival towards this major event, made me believe slightly on God. But never the less I wasn t all sure about it. While descending down to a village called Pheriche from EBC(Everest Base Camp) in order to get some rest and natural oxygen, my Sherpa was sharing with me a story of his Dog. His Dog two years before stayed with him at EBC for two months in his tent. Post expedition while returning to his home, his dog got drowned into a river. My Sherpa for two years at regular intervals followed a trail parallel to the river and kept his search operation on in every village but never found her. In fact he didn t even know if she was alive or dead. Being a dog lover myself I had apathy towards this loss of his adorable pet. All this long I had started being familiar with the Nepali Culture and had started practising Buddhism. I requested my Sherpa to have a small prayer for around three mins asking Buddha for the Dog to be safe wherever she is. Tenzing chanted "Om Mani Peme Hu" in Nepalese while I chanted "Nam Myoho Ringe Kyo" in Japanese. Right after this when we started walking, I asked Tenzing on how he called his Dog. He blew a whistle, very different from the normal ones that I ever heard. Then after what happened amazed me and changed my life completely. A dog came running out of a bush and it was none other than Sittu (My Sherpa s pet). Both of us were all surprised to find the missing one after two years. We both couldn t just control our tears. That was the" Power of Chanting Buddhism". The bonus was that Sittu didn t just come alone, but she came with her tiny little pup. There were other incidents - where on a vertical climb, from a higher camp an oxygen cylinder was aligned right to fall on my head, but strong deviation was observed right before it could collide into me. People were amazed looking at it going away from me without any obstacle making it change its direction. Right after that fell few pieces of small rock that were spinning in a great speed down to earth, missed me and my Sherpa despite of us being on the lead. But they hit a German climber who was right after my Sherpa. It hit him on his cheek and literally tore off his Jaws. It was a terrible situation to be witnessed. Watching him bleed with those deep cuts and eventually seeing the blood being frozen due to low temperature. Knowing that you are on a vertical patch, you can t even stop aside for any First Aid. The belief that the pendant of the female God with thousands of hands to protect me was strengthened. Also at another instance when I fell into a Crevice(a narrow opening or fissure in mountains ,. It is assumed that people who fall into the crevice never come back. Crevices are at times as deep as 5kms too. Ofcourse you cannot come out of it neither there is any guarantee of you being alive after that great fall. But luckily my safety rope got harnessed to a ladder there and I didn t suffer any loss. Must thank Lama Geysu and all the wonders that made me believe, GOD EXISTS. It is only Science that demands any thesis to be proven. But there is no proof that God exists. To believe stories is optional. But to have experienced it is something different. Belief can only be obtained from real life experiences, experiences that you witness yourself. Bhagyashree Sawant F.Y.B.A. 131 VISIT TO THE RESERVE BANK OF INDIA On 07th December 2012 ,a trip to RBI, Head-office was scheduled for the first year F.Y.B.A. students of M.D.College. The trip was to enlighten the students about the role and functioning of RBI in the development process of Indian Economy & visit to the Monetary Museum. Ever thought of the fact that that Rs 2 coin that you hand over with such nonchalance may have a story to tell? The RBI Monetary Museum at Fort Mumbai is a place where many such tales may be found. Mumbai s Fort area has been a centre of commerce for many generations now. Even now, despite the city s centre of gravity moving northward, the areas still hums with business activity, from the pigeonhole offices in its decaying brownstones to the sleek modern tower of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) building is one of the more modern structures in the precinct, and it has carved out a section of its older offices on Pherozeshah Mehta Road to house the RBI Monetary Museum, which was started in 1998. It could have no better location. As we all students gathered near the gate of the Monetary Museum , we were given the were given the privilege to be seated in the official conference room of the RBI. The conference was addressed by Mr.Das and an audio visual. The presentation was followed by a question answer session . The conference ended with a jingle portraying the working of the RBI as a guardian of financial institutions and its growing network of organized banking in the rural and urban India. After the departure from the conference room, we were taken to the museum As you leave the glamour of the street behind, you enter a quiet space where coins tell the story of thousands of years of world economy. The museum is primarily targeted at school children; but an occasional coin enthusiast or curious passer-by also may be found inside. The first section explains the concept of money and how it evolved from barter to coins, and later to present day abstract money. Cowry shells and beads were among the first items used as currency. On display are curiosities like Neolithic axes and bracelet money from West Africa and South East Asia. Other interesting exhibits are the smallest and biggest coins. Along with the coins them selves are related implements like a counting tray and seeds used to measure the weight of coins. Most of the 1,500 exhibits on display have been bought from collectors all over the country. A walk-through will give you the history of money in India and the world; more fascinating is the pictures you build in your mind s eye. Like the conquering princes, now forgotten, who commissioned new coins to as a declaration of supremacy; or perhaps, as a boost their own egos. Like the crimes committed for these pieces of metal. Like the ordinary men and women who worked for these bits of metal, what necessities and comforts did they buy? R Radhakrishnan the curator is a soft-spoken, rather reticent man who suddenly laughs and opens up when we ask him which his favourite coin is. After the mandatory. They are all my favourites, he owns up. His specialty is Roman coins and coins from South India. He is a wealth of information on the exhibits and the general history of money in India. He says that one of the reasons why coins have always carried religious imagery was to deter forgery. Religion was also used to ensure continuity when new rulers took over. For instance, when Hyder Ali conquered the kingdom of Ikkeri Nayaks, he continued using the Shiva-Parvati Vijayanagar coin, only adding his own name at the back. Every coin or note has similar tales to tell. Here are some that caught our imagination : Panam Coins, Indo-Greek Coins, Shaka Coins, Tughluqs Coins, Sher Shah Suris Coins, Paper Money & Note Sizes. A mesmerizing journey which took us way back in the past... We all were glad to know the history behind money!!! As we were back again to conference hall, were offered with refreshments to fill our empty stomachs as there were many things left to be seen. After that, we got in to the main office building of RBI to see how soiled notes are been destroyed & why they are destroyed? All of us heart s were on fire when we saw so much of money been wasted & scrapped, moving ahead from the cabins of busy office staff we headed towards the basement where fresh new notes are kept in giant vaults, finally everyone had a smile on their faces!!! And then it was time to leave home, each and every student was overwhelmed by the gesture. The teachers who accompanied the students were Dr. Sundari K.P., Prof. Indra Ravindran, Prof. Tyagi RBI trip was a learning experience & a pleasant change for all the students. We look forward to more of such trips. Rupali Sakharkar F.Y.B.A. 132 SOCIAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME Each and every individual has some social relations. It is said that man is a social animal. Hence, we are bonded with the society. The interest for social cause among the individuals and proper channelizing of the ideas is provoked and motivated through Social Leadership Development Program by Seva Sahyog foundation. I would like to thank our programme officer(NSS Unit) Dr. Avinash Karande who inspired me to attend the programme. It was the first camp where I was all on my own. I would also like to thank Seva Sahyog Foundation for their efforts to assemble and bring out socially conscious individuals to work at grass root level. The SLD programme started with the selection of individuals. I was also one of them. I had to undergo an interview for personality test. After the selection process, we, the selected volunteers were given basic social work values at an orientation programme conducted at RUIA college. After the orientation every one was given an NGO to work with and were sent to different parts of Maharashtra. I was selected to work with Shabari Seva Samiti, Tal.kashele, Dist. Karjat. When I left for Karjat, I was just enjoying the surrounding but as I reached the place I felt homesick. I reached the hostel which was empty since school exams were over. I was to stay there for 10 days. I started my work from the 1st day itself under the guiodance of Shri Sharad Suryavanshi. He was the teacher who imparted in me the basics of tribal and village work. I was introduced to the tribal areas for the further continuation of work. Thereafter, I visited different villages and tribal areas during my 10 days stay. The NGO works for eradication of malnourishment, looking after the health of tribal women who are pregnant and school kit distribution amongst the school children. When I met some of the children, I was moved to see their condition full of poverty and lack of nourishment. A contrast picture came before my eyes where I compared the comfortable city life and village life where people are below poverty line. It was like stepping into a world where government policies and schemes are not reaching the concerned section of the society. My individual tour started in the mountainous regions, forests and villages roaming in search of malnourished children. During my stay I witnessed some other problems of the tribal people apart from malnutrition such as health problem of tribal problem of tribal women and lack of education amongst the children. The samiti is working for the eradication of these problems too. My schedule was fixed. I used to wakeup at 5.00 am and do yogic exercises. After having bath and breakfast, I used to leave for the fieldwork around 9.00 am and returned back by 4.00pm. After returning I used to water the garden surrounding our hostel. Here, I got to learn many new things about gardening from Sharad dada and Babu dada. The memorable incident during my stay at Karjat was my interaction with Shri. Pramod Karandikar (Sir), founder of the Samiti who came 3 days before my final stay. We used to discuss and debate on various issues of varying importance mostly national and international. The experience, change in personality, views, thought process and overall a new perspective towards the problems of the tribal people were my unique gains at the camp. Surely, the experience of 2 weeks for the nation gave me a satisfied outlook which will last for a lifetime. Priyesh Tripathi NSS volunteer / F.Y.B.A. Life is too short to walk with regrets.
