The Ruiaite Monthly E Bulletin Editorial Namaskar Ruiaite!! “Peace is not external but internal. It is not about making the world a peaceful place; it is about us being at peace with the world.” Devdutt Pattanaik, Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of the Mahabharata

A year of happenings and novel learnings culminates. An immense opportu- nity of seeking answers to the unknown awaits us. What has passed cannot be turned around; what comes ahead is a beautiful surprise. Yet, we have in hand a priceless treasure - the present moment. As we welcome a year of vigour and enthusiasm, here we present the Ruiaite Bulletin’s December Edi- tion for 2015.

Our e orts to give our dear readers the best of all has brought us to take up issues of immense social, cultural and scientic importance through our columns. Be it the water cuts or the knack of buying a desktop PC; be it the ideal life of Bhapkar Guruji or the inspiring life lessons of our very own Samir Sir; the students of the Ruiaite team have not left any leaf unturned to ensure an enriching read. Not to forget, we have also traced the travel of our Bolly- wood Stars through Hollywood !!

Just as the Constitution Of provides for transfusion of scientic temper and spirit of enquiry amongst the citizens, our columns have in this issue, addressed environmentalism through varied aspects. CareerWise reects on the professional prospects of Environmental Studies while Tech-Tricked enlightens us about the Bionic Leafs; as also, Op-Ed takes us on a tour of the Wildlife through ‘The Hunt’. In the wake of the Chennai Floods, these insights on our environment ought to come handy - we’d better make peace with it before it gets too late.

Some of our members have become experts in particular areas and they bring to us their reection of the world in words of di erent kinds - Saakshi Gupta makes us ponder with her Tiny Tales in Open Forum; while Aniruddha Inamdar feeds us with a round about information of the most important of occurrences in Buzz Around.

Our heart goes out to the stranded Chennaites. We stand in solidarity with the Parisians. Somewhere it feels, that peace is truly within; as a reection of our past and as our hope for a better future. Let us seek in this New Year the wisdom of being in peace - in every sphere of life.

The Ruiate Team Wishes All a Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year !!
