F rom the desk of the principal

It gives me immense pleasure to introduce the February 2021 issue of the MAC VOICE. This issue consists of vivid articles from different walks of life. Articles and write-ups from the students of Journalism cover almost all the contemporary issues. Journalism today is at cross roads. Journalists and their professional ethical – legal considerations are being scrutinized on the basis of their ideological interpretations and alienations. Time and again, professionalism is being challenged by ‘Democratic Participatory Medium’ and ‘User Generated Content’ on various social media sites. Views have replaced the news and partisan has replaced the neutrality. At this critical juncture it becomes mandatory for the journalism aspirants to come-up with analytical understanding of the issues.

Journalism today is at cross roads. Journalists and their professional ethical – legal considerations are being scrutinized on the basis of their ideological interpretations and alienations. Time and again, professionalism is being challenged by ‘Democratic Participatory Medium’ and ‘User Generated Content’ on various social media sites. Views have replaced the news and partisan has replaced the neutrality. At this critical juncture it becomes mandatory for the journalism aspirants to come-up with analytical understanding of the issues. MAC VOICE is a platform where we train and prepare the future journalists, where ethical and moral values are inculcated. It is an effort to provide a space to the students where they can polish their analytical and journalistic skills. The present issue of MAC VOICE covers vaccination drive, New farm policy and protest, Pandemic, The notions of Love Jihad and several other soft topics related to lifestyle, cinema and a picturesque section. The copy of this issue is in hand to evaluate and judge the hard work of these budding journalists.

I appreciate the efforts of the students involved in making this idea of MAC VOICE into reality.

Narendra Modi doesn’t have a serious contender even their opponents have fallen for this publicity campaign. It is because of this reason that from municipal elections in Hyderabad to assembly elections in Bihar, these elections aren’t being fought on civic issues of Hyderabad or regional distresses of Bihar but on Narendra Modi’s face. Which is why we see Nitish Kumar winning in Bihar on Modi’s name even though the larger population had anti-incumbency feelings running high against the latter.

Now as voters see a benefit in Narendra Modi at the centre, they feel that in giving a vote to the BJP at local elections they are voting for the Prime Minister himself. Here, a BJP supporter votes for BJP because he/she blindly believes in Modi while the other voters are left confused, as for them the issues they wanted to talk about were never raised and the ones that were raised had nothing to do with their constituency. Thus, without much viable options left; they end up voting for their local BJP leaders

on the face of Narendra Modi. Here too, the voter isn’t a subscriber to BJP’s or RSS’s ideology but they simply go for the best alternative. And when these voters are labelled as majoritarian, insensitive, conservative, etc. and teased with terms like bhakts by a host of media and political outfits, they are further alienated from opposition parties and keep getting closer to the Narendra Modi-led BJP government. Therefore, we have to understand this crucial difference between a Modi Voter and a Modi Supporter. Because, for a vibrant and democratic India, we need way more voters than supporters!

MAC VOICE February 2021 | 21 It’s your choice that matters! anjali sharma 1st year

Life is all about choices. Every second of our existence is a choice that we all make between living and dying. There is only one thing certain about life – death. There is only one thing uncertain about death- ‘when?’

We face a crisis almost every minute in one or another form we just don’t realize it. A crisis brings out the best in people and often reminds us of the things that really matter. Each one of us is fighting battles all the time. From the person commuting for hours in the jam-packed bus just to reach his workplace to a newly married girl adjusting to her husband’s family, we all are fighters.

Each morning puts a man on trial and each evening passes judgment. The names of such men and women may not appear on the front page of the newspaper, or the President of the country may not honor them and yet life itself is a reward. The strongest people are not always who win, but the people who don’t give up till they succeed. Fear is good if one can use it properly and not be paralyzed by it. It’s no use looking up to heaven with too much faith and too little effort and struggle.

Life is generous to those who pursue their destiny. It is the possibility of having a dream come true that actually makes life interesting. The only limits on life are those that people set for themselves. Men are not prisoners of fate but prisoners of their own minds. The tragedy of life is not death but what we let die inside us when we live. Most people don’t fail, they simply give up trying, pain and suffering are inevitable but being miserable are optional.

We cannot change the course of the events, but we can always change the response to the course of the events. Let us salute those who never give up!

POETRY COME AND BREAK THE NORM Neha Rani 1st year

Come and break the norm, Within you, ignite the storm. To all the stereotypes, remain indifferent, Do not let the taboos act as a deterrent.

Be yourself, make a strong voice, Just don’t settle with a compromise. People may like, people may hate, But self-confidence is something nobody can abate.

What is important is a strong disruption, Of everything that’s wrong, obsolete and requires abduction. What is of significance today is a change, Something that the world considers out of range.

Nothing worth doing has been easy to date, Well, that’s what makes achievements so great. So, move ahead with faith and ambition, Ignore the negative voices and focus on the mission.

For once the goal is accomplished, All the pessimism is automatically vanquished. Thus, come and break the norm, Within you, ignite the storm.

Within you, ignite the storm!

MAC VOICE February 2021 | 29 POETRY EIGTEENTH rudransh 2nd year

I picked some sheets and tore 'em up to find the souls of childhood, The trace papers and inked pens marked the beginning of some good. I stumbled on my first cry, when spilling out was just a deal. When slyly catching sleep is more and feeding spoons of meal. Shuffling through some bookshelves, I found the year book of 20's some familiar faces fluttering through gaping into unfamiliarity. Chasing through my window sill, I caught the clouds in hue, They were teasing me like unbothered and making faces anew. Plaster frames with pictures of giggle echoes in the head, The olive green walls of room wails the lonely tales. Every twisted story of love is a fantasy of the book covers, Those postal cards and stamps are grey and lightning through the cupboards. The broken chimes of trust is slowly losing by, Are fatal steps to the age of waves rushing high? I wonder if they say, what life is all about? When empty rooms are talking loud and eyes are emotional clout. Thee syllables are merely a form to chase the silence unheard, Syncing them all into a prose, all words untethered.

MAC VOICE February 2021 | 32 POETRY Patriotism

NEHA RANI 1ST YEAR

Life is meaningless without this emotion, For this is true worship, this is true devotion.

It is undoubtedly the purest form of loyalty, And the most important quality.

Standing for the national anthem with utmost respect, contributing to society to make things perfect.

That is the real form of patriotism, That is what we call nationalism.

It is not simply supporting India during a cricket match, It is about our tricolor, which to our heart, we have to genuinely attach.

When the nation’s interest becomes the obsession, Of a real patriot, that is the real impression.

A life dedicated to the country in itself is salvation, Because there is nothing greater than service to the nation.

So pledge, not simply by raising our hand, Let’s take real pride in serving our motherland.

Let’s take real pride in serving our motherland!
