ABC OF INDIA FORGING FREEDOM THE TRUE COLORS OF DIWALI OPSESSION DIWALI AT SYMBEAT - Barbie Dua MBA(CORE) - A ABC of India Ghewar The very first Paneer Ghewar was invented by Jaipur's Laxmi Mishtan Bhandar in 1961, after experimenting with kilos of maida and quintals of milk. Jaipur’s Ghewar is world famous and is exported globally from here. Even today the delicacy is made on charcoal fire to maintain its taste & aroma. Besides Rajasthan, it is also famous in Haryana, Delhi, Gujarat, western Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh etc. It is a disc- shaped sweet cake made with maida and soaked in sugar syrup. There are many varieties of Ghevar, including plain, mawa and malai ghevar. Halva/Halwa Halva are dense, sweet confections originating from India as well as other Middle Eastern countries. The word is mainly used to describe two different types of desserts: a gelatinous confection made from flour, clarified butter and sugar; or a crumbly nut-butter-based product often made from tahini and sugar. There are more than 100 different types of Halwa and they are all authentically prepared. People in different parts of the country have various names for it. The Sindhis call it ‘seero’ while some call it ‘sheera’. Imarti Imarti or Amriti is a renowned sweet from India. The place of the sweet's origin is India and the time of its origin dates back to the Vedic era. It is made by deep-frying vigna mungo flour batter in a circular flower shape, then soaking in sugar syrup. Some of its names are Emarti, Amriti, Amitti, Jaangiri, Omriti. Vigna mungo is soaked in water for a few hours, and stone-ground into a fine batter. The batter is poured into ghee, though other oils are sometimes used. - Sayphali Misshra MBA(CORE) - B FORGING FREEDOM SOLILOQUY ON FORGING FREEDOM What is freedom? Freedom is an experience And experiences are not just anything. They are everything Freedom is a constant dance of negotiation between the oppressor and the oppressed. Ferociously subtle, Yet scantly omnipresent It is our most basic necessity, yet so frugal in availability. How cruel, how pitiful, how comical. That the sheer expectation of divine reward becomes the only reason to respect each other's freedom Failing to realise that freedom to live for, is why we exist. As long as freedom remains a privilege, it is no longer freedom. Rather, the delusion of it. But there will never be a society where we shall be entirely free, And that holds both the beauty and the tragedy of it. -Zac Newbegin MBA(CORE)- C FORGING FREEDOM I know beautiful gardens, That had to witness brutal massacres. I've heard stories of men and women, Who led armies of brave soldiers into battles. I've seen scars, From wars that were fought for peace. I've heard stories about our friends from afar, Who came looking for necks to fill their leash. I've seen provoking art, That drove people to fight for freedom. I've read stories and poems, that sparked The initial flames of revolution. I know of a nation, That gave birth to warriors and fighters. I've read stories of insurrection, That fueled the torch of liberation to burn brighter. -Chandraneela Anne MBA - QF Freedom is to ensure respect and not just live free. All societies define freedom in their own respect. Different cultures see freedom in their own light and thus people living in different cultures enjoy freedom in ways that they feel appropriate. Enjoying our freedom does not mean that we disregard the rights of others and live the way we feel right. We have to consider the rights and the feelings of people around us when living our freedom. Similarly a free person does not have to fear when expressing his opinion ensuring that others respect and feelings are not hurt. Societies which encourage freedom of opinion, thoughts, beliefs, expression, choice etc. are the ones where creative minds flourish. Freedom does not come with independence. Freedom is also about appreciating the enchanting beauty of nature and environment around us. A person who is worried and anxious cannot be free at mind and hence cannot enjoy the scenic beauty of a lovely moonlit sky or the pleasant music of the singing birds at the sunset. - Anisha Poddar MBA(CORE) - B THE TRUE COLORS OF DIWALI!
