Welcome to the July edition, the second of the new year 2020-2021.
By now, we’ve pretty much settled into our new rhythms, both at home and at the magazine. We’re craving a return to normalcy, but we wonder how the transition from emergency to routine will pan out. For some of us, there are certain comforts to this quarantine as well, and it may well happen that we will remember this period with both frustration and fondness.
At the magazine, we’ve officially taken off our gloves! At the time of writing, we’ve already conducted our first round of recruiting. (There will be another round once college is up and running.) Expect to see ab new styles, c new voices, and new topics from the next issue onward.
That’s not all, however: if you’ve been following our Instagram page, we’ve been doing our best to promote the cause of Pride throughout June. For those who have been silenced, we will be their voice – that is our aim and our honour.
Meanwhile, we’ve done our best to ensure that the July issue (and all following issues) arrive for your reading pleasure as early as possible in the month. Of course, we have brooked no compromise on quality, either, and we’re confident that our articles are polished and proofread like never before. That’s all from us, and we hope that you enjoy reading this month’s issue!

Snow. Freezing. Cold. snow. This is modern Delhi of 3008 covered in heavy snow under a big blanket of grey clouds, warning the people as if it may fall down upon us. However, the sky scrapers, thousands of feet above seem to be unafected. This steel jungle is lost amongst the heavy bedding of the clouds, appearing to be in heaven. This world would have looked beautiful if only I hadn’t seen its rainbow in monochrome, as if the world has lost its colour.
It’s been eight months since the fateful night. I have been traveling constantly as a spy in neighbouring countries, as a militant on the border and dreadfully as an assassin in enemy’s den. The missions are just programmed in my head, yet I can distinguish between good and bad only to enhance the pain I am sufering from these immoral activities. I feel as if I am losing my humanity while this longing for peace is just unbearable. Tired, it's time I return to the head uarters
“Congratulations young man, you have made sure that India is now no longer a weak and miserable nation. It is strong and knows how to take back what is ours. Complimented Dr. Minaskshee. This made me feel even more hollow, once a nation said to be peace loving ,now the destructor of its very own ideal.
“ Come, let us walk back towards the laboratory, I have a new weapon designed for you.” she smiled slyly towards me. I loathe her, she gives me the chills of a test rat.
Entering the huge lab surrounded by various machines and electronic gadgets, but most precisely the cylindrical shape glass chamber through which I was “ born” in the mad scientist s word, I fear coming back here. he numerous tortures I went through, the shock treatments, all those horri c deeds makes me want to escape the room as soon as possible. Walking towards the centre I could see a large modern cannon like instrument, god knows what this devil has on her mind.
“Do you know what that is Achintya? It’s called a Neptune cannon. This world, as in this era, is flled with a high level of malevolence or something like manna, which technically is the product of Radiation pollution. Independent rays are the least harmful, capable of causing cancers, but if you gather them together in one sphere it generates power enough to destroy hundreds of men in one shot. We have planned to build 30 of these for our upcoming war. The famous Indo Pak war will now revive again. I believe you still remember it’s taste, that’s why you would be handling these weapons along with my new super soldier battalion.”
This is cruel, killing so many people at once. My head hurts, I feel dizzy, I could see fashes coming back, and thud... I feel the ground below me.
“and he is out, talk about being manly enough “ heard her snort
(Flashes of 1965 near the Line of control (LOC))
“ ood morning Captain uldip Singh, Lieutenant Shikhawat reporting sir. We have news, the enemy has stopped fring for today, our battalion has retreated. What shall be the orders for tomorrow S R ” e saluted
“ Well looking at the current position, we are here at P159 by tomorrow we must reach till T580. We have lost nearly half of our strength, considering that we shall divide ourselves into 7 groups. By tomorrow 4 in the morning we shall launch an attack straight covering 1.3 km so that our base camps are secured. Are we CLEAR?”
“ ES S R ” they hummed
(The ne t day on the battlefeld) “Bird calling tiger.. bird calling tiger status report update.” “Group 1 CLEAR SIR, 2 AND 4 CLEAR SIR , 5 6 INJURED BUT ALL CLEAR, 3 STILL ENGAGED, 7 there is a situation sir!... enemy has created a barrier of civilians to protect the border”
“Are they a istani or industani ”
“ a istani SIR!”
I could see the group 7 within 5 meters. Ar un covered for me by the time I reached them.
“We do not re. Now listen everyone, S IELD COVER – ATTACK, this way we save the civilians and bring them here got it”. Everything went according to plan, while the enemy shot their own people. We were able to bring everyone on our side until one of them slipped and fell down. She was shot on the arm. She managed to hide in the trench.
We are winning the war, there were only a few enemies left, but when I loo ed behind us our strength was now less than theirs...we stayed hidden being the trench. I saw her arm bleeding and gave her my uniform shirt and the vest to protect her “Thank you for saving my children, she said with gratitude.
The last bunch of enemies were standing ahead. I could see the situation going out of hand. Even though victory was near, I could sense our death frst, and I guess she did too. In a fash she got up and ran towards them, she looked at me and said something before pulling the pin of my grenade that she took by surprise kissing the label of the Indian army and boom,very single enemy died. I don’t know what she said but..
She saved us.
After the fashes I opened my eyes, I was in a bunker now deported to the C. That woman, what does she think of me, a postcard delivering me everywhere. The war had already begun...the same atmosphere...the same tension but more dangerously modern, as if I could see stars shooting in the grey sky.
“CAPTAIN ACHINTYA, we are ready to fre the 30 Neptunes on the count of three!” 1....I couldn’t let this happen...2 I need to move fast, forcing my body according to my accord felt like trucks crushing my body. nd 3.... within 2-3 second I ran fast ...each Neptune’s ray colliding with my body, I could feel my body tear and repair simultaneously. The Chromium in my bones absorbed all the manna/ radiation within me, the nitrogen enhanced my body repair, however with every ray that I absorbed I could feel the energy accumulated within me.
Just two more to go I could do it, I reassured myself. By the time I reached the last one and absorbed it, I could feel that I was becoming a ticking bomb myself. I looked around, everyone was staring at me, my body was glowing, I knew I could hurt so many people after saving them. I started running towards the open area by the time I was ready to blast myself and die. I heard her whisper...
“You were lucky to be born on the other side of the border, she smiled and I did too.
Bhoommmm! Breathing is di cult, is this how dying feels I opened my eyes. “ You better be ready to e plain my puppet, I have spent 11 months repairing you, the mad scientist said. I knew I was back in hell again, I snorted grimly remembering her last words that ashed in my mind. Pest Control
