FET’ians ON BREAK
With exams starting from 23rd October,FET’ians are on a not so awaited break. It’s a break for studies (not from studies). After days of masti and mazaa, now it’s the time to open your books and realise the gravity of situation. Each and everyone (barring a few geeks) is trying to figure out the head or tail (whichever you catch first) of the vast course. Everything is still the same but with few twists. The nights are still alive but not with guppa or movie sessions but with tiring study sessions. Hostel stairs are still thronged by girls, but they are no longer talking on phones but are desperately trying to mug some "really-difficult-to-understand-better-to-rato subject". Even the forever online people are now offline or online with red batti on and a "D-N-D" status message. Xerox counters are flooded and eating joints little less crowded. Well, an exam does turn things ultaa. So, ALL THE BEST to everyone, work hard and DO WELL.:-) ;-)

PICTURES OF PEOPLE SHOULD SAY SOMETHING
Posed pictures should show people at their best, looking relaxed and comfortable in their relationship.
A candid picture can capture relationships, such as this family's obvious comfort with one another, differently than one that is posed In every case, good people pictures convey a message. The message can fall into one of several categories. Your picture can, for instance, tell a story, show relationships or provide inspiration. Without a message, a photograph lacks interest. It says nothing, and therefore it gives nothing to the viewer.
In most cases, conveying a message is not that difficult. You simply have to think before you click the shutter. Ask yourself what you want your picture to say. Once you have defined it, you are then able to figure out how best to capture it on film. Occasionally, you will see it before you in a candid shot, as with the picture on the right of this family, and will have to capture it quickly before it is interrupted. |

Photo Tip of the Week
Photo Tip of the Week
Beyond the Photograph
"Breaking the frame" means you artfully allow your subject to go out of the frame, so part of them is cut off.
This can imply motion or a spatial relationship that extends beyond the edges of the photograph.

Happy Software Freedom Day!
We are moving towards a new world order, and the keyword is Freedom!
Technology has always been an effective tool to help us grow further. What if this tool becomes a controlling mechanism? Today there are many companies which, owing to their technologies, have taken control of our lives. You cannot do anything beyond what they allow; by 'they' I don't mean technologies, but the companies. In a democratic world, even the governments and administrations allow us to be free. Then how can we allow certain companies to take control of our lives? To break this control, the world celebrates Software Freedom Day (SFD) on the third Saturday of each September. Software Freedom Day is a public education effort, not only to celebrate the virtues of free/open source software, but also to encourage its use, to the benefit of the public.
But why is software so important? It is important as it is driving technologies today. Every piece of machine is getting a bit of software. Even our cars have embedded software which controls certain The SFD website says, “It is primarily about Software, but Software Freedom can affect almost every aspect of our lives. Software Freedom enables governmental transparency and openness; for example, voting machines and government records can be examined and available to a degree that is impossible when proprietary secrecy stands in the way of public scrutiny.”
Various groups and organisations are celebrating the event throughout India.

PRIORITIES MISPLACED?
The strike this morning, took a lot of people by surprise. It was the reason of the strike though, that left me completely flabbergasted. Strike for not being allowed to go to a cult fest? Excuse me, but are we running out of things to do right here on the campus. I understand that a cult fest means more exposure, more interaction and more of a lot of other things but if all these ‘more’ things do not come along, is it the end of the world? I really thought that Mody girls were made to withstand tougher things. And that they had an alternative to everything.
If they are not allowed to see the greatest debater in Delhi, they would create their own debate club to produce the greatest debater themselves. Not allowed to see the greatest rock act in Delhi? They would create their own rock band, something which would deliver on quality and quantity. Missing the spirit that makes DU what it is? They would strain every nerve to create the spirit right here in MITS.
What’s the point of fighting the authorities when we should be working with them. Doing every thing to make them bend, not break.
Its sad that we try so hard to make some other college’s fest such a huge success, even going on a strike for them, but do not care a zilch for the societies on campus which are trying to create that same atmosphere right here. A case in point – the drama club meeting yesterday, wherein only 13 out of the 100 turned up.
Why are we now, so used to being spectators? Why do we not want to become creators? Can none of us imagine our drama club flourishing to the extent that students from DU come to watch our plays? Why have we stopped dreaming and believing? No change will come to this campus until we initiate it. And change is certainly not when we get a gate pass to go to someone else’s cult fest. Change will come when we shun that gate pass to make this college a better place.
But till then, our priorities are certainly misplaced.
