Life @ CURAJ
How many of us have sincerely cohered together
to Save Water, prevent Food wastage, save Environment, Control pollution, create
a congenial learning culture
in the said context etc?
T
he fact that whether the said words are taken as a Statement, Compliment or a Question the reply may vary as per the state of
mind and level of maturity. But whatever the
multifaceted and colourful reply that one may
have in response to the said context we all agree
on the following.
A few students of CURAJ had taken initiative
to teach the children of the workers. The team
leader of this initiative had always contributed
positively and even despised an attempt to be
highlighted via. ASTITVA. He seriously condemned
any attempt to highlight his teamwork. He despises publicity as popularity gimmick
which desecrates the essence of silent
giving. The team believes in silent efforts like silent prayers. For a couple
of months they had experimented their silent model
and are still continuing.
Only those who had

gender, course etc. There is no room for artificial hierarchy on the name of senior/ junior. The
Wise learn and accepts from every source. Thus
wisdom lies in respecting and treating others as
we want ourselves to be treated.
Finally to sum up “Life @ CURAJ” is just like the
outcrops of Bander Sindri. The rocky projections
of the Arravali from beneath the surface reflects
the mature PreCambrian rock which is older than
the Himalaya and probably one of the oldest rocks
of the world- approximately half the age
of Earth itself. It does not boast of
its height but relies on its
deep-seated roots.
It has gauged
We Agree that ‘Life @ CURAJ’ has a purpose. A
purpose that is deeper in meaning and wider in
comprehension than its synonym-viz. ‘Sustainability’.
Joining CURAJ is not just confined to one of the
many options available in the career progression
market. It is a purposeful, conscious and rational
decision to express and exercise the muscles of
ones belief towards a Sustainable future on the
planet. We at CURAJ have consciously made this
choice. While choosing among the best available
career options and then competing to accomplish
a seat in our respective courses ranging from Enviro Economics to Green Chemistry to Sustainable
Architecture and many others we all had agreed
upon certain predefined circumstances.These
circumstances we all had apprehended and accepted as not to be bed of roses.
The answer to such questions from ourselves will
actually provide the blueprint of our core character. And mind it, it shall be strictly confidential
as no one but ourselves shall be the Examiner and
the Examinee both. Such exercises as “Asking the
right questions” highlights a lot to ourselves. Accordingly we can confer and confide upon self examination and self appraisal about sustainability
rather than getting it endorsed from outside.
Since all of us are the trendsetters of the Life @
CURAJ it offers us such great opportunities which

As we know that failure makes
for good learning. This should be
the motto in real life if a person
wants to achieve his ambition.
The reason being that without
proper management, good coordination, adequate guidelines
and a good practice it can’t
be done. Unless the university provides the basic requirements positive results will not
be achieved. An example from

any asset without proper knowledge, information and guidelines
and expects high yield on the investment, then that person is not
realistic about his or her yield.
We should take this defeat in the

POLITICS & C U R R E N T A F F A I R S
The incumbent government is a technical
government led by an independent, Lucas Papademos, and including members of George
Papandreou’s PASOK, the opposition conservative ND and the far-right LAOS.
2012
Y e a r
o f
ELECTIONS
If
2011 was the year of political change
when dictators were toppled through
street protests then 2012 would be
a year of political leadership change. The
year, 2012, would witness elections in many
countries across the world and this has the
potential to redefine the entire political
landscape. We are looking at elections in
the US, Mexico, Venezuela, France, Belgium,
Greece et al. On top of this we have leadership changes in China which would be very
keenly watched the world all over. I am going to stick my neck out with a few predictions for the coming elections.
US Elections :There is very little doubt
that the elections in the US would be the
one which would the most keenly watched
political event this year (not taking into account any more revolutions or protests!).
The big question in every one’s mind is
whether Obama would get re-elected or not.
Judging from the results in Iowa and New
Hampshire of Republican hopefuls who are
fighting for the Republican nomination, Mitt
Romney may finally get the opportunity to
fight it out against Barack Obama. Obama
of late has managed to improve his ratings
and his chances of getting re-elected would
greatly improve if the economy sustains its
recovery in this year as well.
16
French Presidential Elections :Goodbye
There is a still long way to go for November
elections but if the recovery goes the way
it is going now and the unemployment rate
falls below 7% then Obama’s chances become
brighter. Every 1% drop in unemployment
may lead to a 5% increase in votes for Obama
(just a ‘guessestimate’). But Romney could
do well because many voters who voted for
Obama in 2008 are disillusioned with him.
Obama’s political campaign machinery is already chugging along well and fund raising
is also on the right track. So, a ‘Mitt Romney vs Barack Obama’ contest is most likely
going to be a closely fought one, with the
major issues being the economy and jobs.
Prediction for the Year: Barack Obama wins
narrowly.
Carla Bruni! Many are going to miss you from
the Elysees Palace, but nobody will miss
the current incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy (except for perhaps German Chancellor Angela
Merkel, the two were quite a pair!). To be
blunt and to be brief, Nicolas Sarkozy’s ratings are low, very very low. His approval ratings remain terrible, his support at an anemic
25% in the first round and a disastrous 40-43%
in the runoff against the PS’ François Hollande.The popular mood is very much one of
discontent and disillusion with the two main
contenders, who nonetheless top the polls.
But can this state of affairs, not too dissimilar from the one which existed in 2002, be
twisted to the advantage of either Marine Le
Pen, the far-right’s candidate who remains a
threat to the two main contenders with her
16% support; or the centrist François Bayrou,
looking surprisingly strong?Prediction for the
Year: Sarkozy out, François Hollande in.
It will be interesting to observe the electoral
ramifications of the Greek crisis, which Papandreou and now Papademos’ governments
have responded to with EU and IMF-imposed
severe austerity medicine which Greek voters find extremely bitter and try to spit out
at any occasion. The next elections are unlikely to provide stability around PASOK and
ND, because both of Greece’s main parties
are failing to “catch fire” with voters. ND
stands at 30% support (33.5% in 2009), while
PASOK has collapsed to 15-19% support (it
won 44% in 2009). The main beneficiaries
happen to be parties which are unlikely to
be as supportive of austerity: the socialist
SYRIZA, the quasi-Stalinist KKE and SYRIZA
splinter DIMAR. LAOS stands to gain, but its
support has already weakened after it entered government. Together, the fractious
Greek left (SYRIZA and KKE, who hate each
other with a passion) would be the largest
force, but even divided it could prevent the
formation of a government along the lines of
PASOK, ND and LAOS.Prediction for the Year:
None, very difficult to predict who will finally emerge victorious.
Greek Elections :At the centre of the Eurozone debt crisis and one of the countries
hit the most severely by the economic crisis,
Greece will likely hold snap elections by the
end of February 2012.

BUSINESS & SCI-FI
Venezuela :
Venezuela’s
controversial
President Hugo Chávez will be seeking
a third term in office on October 7, 2012
roughly two years after the Chavist party,
the PSUV, barely won the 2010 legislative
elections against a united opposition front.
In 2011, Chávez was hospitalized in Cuba
with colon cancer and there have been some
doubts about Chávez’s health. He has shown
absolutely no signs of relinquishing office in
2012, and will probably enter the 2012 election as the favourite but the opposition will
likely mount a more challenging opposition
than Manuel Rosales had managedto do in
2006.
Prediction for the Year:It could turn out to
be a messy affair, if Chavez thinks he is losing then he may employ ‘strongarm tactics’
to crush the opposition. But Chavez should
still manage to win.
The couple frequently lives apart due to their
largely separate lives. They are sometimes considered China’s emerging star political couple.
Now, this upcoming generational change will occur in a very interesting time.
At least three things make this one particularly
important.The first one is what you just mentioned, that seven out of nine members of the
Standing Committee - this is the most powerful
decision making body, the supreme decision making body - will be changed. And also the same
pattern in the government, in terms of the State
Council: seven out of eight people highly likely
will be replaced. Also, seven out ten members of
the central military commission will be replaced.
So, that high level, with that kind of percentage
isremar-kable,or unprecedented.
Secondly, this is the time first time in modern history that China emerged as an economic superpower. So, leadership change, and also possible
policy change will have strong impact, not only to
China, but also beyond the Chinese borders, particularly economic and social policy, and also foreign policy .And thirdly, this leadership challenge
occurs at a time when there’s a lot of change in
Chinese society. There’s a growing resentment by
various social groups - by middle class and poor
people - and there is also serious concern about
China’s future, and the direction - particularly,
political direction - where China is heading.
So that’s it folks! Biggest Prediction for the Year:
China: No elections in China. But there would be 2012 will not be remembered as the year when
a leadership change that the entire world would
be keenly watching as Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao
move out. Xi Jinping is the man to watch out for
as he would in all probability take over from Hu
Jinatao as the next President of China. A little
something about his personal life: Xi married the
famous Chinese folk singer PengLiyuan in1987,
his second marriage.PengLiyuan, a household
name in China, was much better known to the
public than Xi until his political elevation.

assembly elections in the five states. It will be

िकतना कुछ है जीने को, महसूस करने को | दौड़ती-भागती इस िज़ंदगी में एक पल ठहरने को,उसी

Is Shraddha Sharma INDIA’s Justin Bieber ?
Talent & luck, both play a key role in the making of a star. Looks like Shraddha Sharma
(on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter) has both in abundance! A little before midnight on 30
April, Shraddha Sharma uploaded a YouTube video of her singing, with a guitar accompaniment, a teary song of separation dedicated to “a special friend who was leaving
her forever”. It was recorded on her parents’ living room sofa. She sang Rahat Fateh
Ali Khan’s Mein Tenu Samjhawan from the Punjabi movie Virsa.
Five videos and 16 weeks later, in the third week of August, Shraddha’s YouTube
channel, Shraddharockin, became the highest subscribed channel in India. Her
videos have had more than two million views in all. At the time this went to
press, her month-old Facebook page had 2,000,000 fans. Three fake pages
had about 10,000 each. Shraddha, savvy songstress, YouTube phenomenon
and Facebook celebrity, is a schoolgirl from Dehradun. She is 15 years old,
and has never travelled beyond New Delhi.
The Sharma residence has a board at the gate advertising classes in Hindustani classical music. Shraddha’s mother, Kusum, is a music teacher who
has trained her daughter since she was 9. Born after two sons, both of whom
have now moved away from home, she is the centre of her parents’ lives.
Their house is named “Shraddha”. Her parents moved from Meerut to Dehradun, and bought the house around the time their daughter was
born.

. . . am i a loser ?
I
have come to the age of fifty, washing and pressing clothes of people. I lost my mother after a few
days of my birth. Perhaps a loveless aunt and callous father pushed
me into the world
where I was no burden on them but only on myself.
One evening I found that I was alone. I had spent the whole
day in wandering here and there as if my mother had sent
me to see the beauty of market. I gazed at every shop. “What
a colorful life it is!” I exclaimed. Shopkeepers left for their
houses. Where should I go?
The night passed by in endless thinking. If I had eaten something at least I would have slept. But hunger and cold made
the night long. Thank God no policeman came there otherwise I would be in more miserable condition under the policeman’s abuses and beating. Strange is the world where there
is no home and being homeless is a sin.
It was about seven in the morning when the laundry man
looked at me. He found out in the first glance that I was an
orphan. He took me to his home, fed me and said authoritatively “You must bring and wash clothes of my costumers.”
I have no other option to survive so I accepted him as my
Master. Since then I worked for him. His death brought me
in position of washing and pressing on my own. Now I was
owner of my will and action.
Gradually, time passed and my income increased. I became a member of the society. I got married. My household life was a happy one. I
came to be father of four children.
A girl is not much burden to her father as she is to the society. My
elder daughter was only 14 years old when people asked me to
get her married.
I was master of my house but I was also a social person. I had
to do what society expected from me. And for a mere laundry
man like me, negation was a coarse act. So I got my daughter
married with a school going boy of a washer man from Rampur. I wanted that my daughter should not be looked down at in
the family of her in-laws. That’s why I gave dowry. I had no money
stock because whatever I earned all was spent on the welfare and
education of my children. So I borrowed money for the marriage.
“Go and bring Sunita with you. A newly married girl should return
soon,” my wife said to me. Within twenty days Sunita had come
thrice. Money lenders or Shahibs were asking for their rupees. I have
no other person who could support me. It was the twenty fifth day.
My daughter-in law and his friend were going to take Sunita. “What
should I do? From where can I get the money to do their teeka.” I
told my wife about my frustration. A harsh reply came “What can
I do. I don’t go to rich people. And after all it’s your duty that you
must have enough money.” I felt embarrassed on it. I debated with
her. Sunita came and after hearing loud voice of us she spoke “I will
never come to this house from my in –laws’ home. You always quarrel with each other. I hate quarrelling. You don’t have manners” I was
shocked. My mouth was opened but I couldn’t utter even a single word.
The only question that I haven’t been able to answer till today strikes my
mind “Am I a loser?”

has obvious health and fitness benefits, but more importantly, provides other benefits.As students of the pioneer batch of a Young University there are a lot of things that we may have
to experience and it will not always be within the peripheries of our comfort/ coziness zone. Say for
instance we cannot expect a Gymnasium or a Jacuzzi at the stage when our University is undergoing its embryonic stage of construction. But this does not stop us from experiencing the Wonders and
Miracles that life has offered us @ the serene and picturesque Bander Sindri campus.

On the very first day when we had shifted to our permanent campus we explored the nature around.
While one of us is a hobby runner and had scaled the distances of Half & Full Marathons the other have
recently experienced the pleasures of running. Running offers the pleasures to boosts self confidence
and helps to unleash one’s potential by breaking self created barriers one by one.
Often it has been observed that people have a tendency to complaint about the surroundings,

guests of the marble city Kishangarh we plan to give back something to the town. Hence we aim
to promote the town as a ‘Youthful and Vibrant’ city focused on Environment, Health & Sustainable future by starting a culture of Running- ‘the mother of all sports’. By doing this we aspire to
provide special impetus towards international promotion of the University and the Town.

way - while running.

to address? Lose weight, get healthier and

25kilos of weight primarily through running and following moderation in eating. Running can be a no rocket science, no crash diet, long term means
of losing weight, keeping it off, and
leading a healthier lifestyle.

@ ROBOTICS
LIFE
Hello friends, here I am to share some
historical fact about robotics. As someone
said that “The heritage of the technology which now runs the world was, to put it
mildly eclectic, with huge gaps in time and
space.”
Before the first electrician was born,
the earliest reference to a “robot” was in ancient China, in the form of an organic robot
given by an “artificer” called Yan Shi to
King Mu of Zhou around 1000BC. The
robot was made of leather and glue
with actual human organs, and not
entirely surprisingly ceased functioning when the organs were removed.
Between 16th and 19th century, odd mechanical marvels were springing up all over
Europe. Leonardo Da Vinci was the next
known robot designer after the ancient
period, inventing a mechanical man in
knight’s armor.
John Dee of England invented a flying
wooden beetle during the Elizabethan era.
The first Western robot,
in the form of a steam
powered pigeon, said
to be capable of flight,
was invented by Archytas of Tarentum in 350
BC.
robot MICE
Mama mama peter poisoned the robot mice
that’s a sin a real sin
he’ll go to hell won’t he
the bogey man will get him and eat his brains
his mother paused in lecturing the robot
vacuum cleaner and thought
I hate robot mice
this is inconsistent with the robot edict
yet primal like lecturing the domestics
look how they simulate
humility
eyes cast down,
shoulders rounded
in silence
almost as good as a
real slave
Another machine was Vaucanson’s “Digesting Duck” in 1739, which was able to
annoy real ducks, quack, “eat” grain, and
produce fake feces. The duck was even referred to by Voltaire, albeit rather cryptically- “Without the duck of Vaucanson, you
have nothing to remind you of the glory of
France”

STUDENT INTERVIEWS
STUDENT I N T E R V I E W S
Q. What was your first expression after winning this contest?

and I did this.
Q. What were your dreams as child?
A. I have many dreams:
1) Want to go in space at least once.
2) Open my own zoo and a school for disabled and poor students who are not able to pay fees.
3) I want to be a postman for older people whose children’s left them or not able to communicate them
from long time.
Q. What is your own definition of “Happiness”?
A. “If you want to be happy, then spread happiness to your surrounding and always learn from your
mistakes and be happy, because one mistake never ends your life.”
Q. What would be the first thing you would do if today is your last day of life?

M.Tech.(IV Sem)
Q. What is the definition of “Ideal University” according to you?
A. I think in Universities more concentration should be given on practical knowledge in place to theories. There should be more interaction between departments and inter-department projects must be
promoted. Specifically marks and presentation’s should not be the only criteria for the judgment of
student knowledge and work.
Q. Who is your inspiration role model of life?
A. My uncle, because of struggles he faced in his life and the status that he achieved even after a lot of
ups and downs in business. He is owner of a thermo-col manufacturing company and generally helps
students in scientific project development.
Q. Last question. What you will prefer MONEY or HAPPINESS?
A. I will prefer happiness because spending time only for money never gives happiness. Because time
and the moments you live never come back too. I just want to say “Money comes and goes, but once
your loving moments left, you will never recreate them from money”.
Q. How do you feel after winning such a wonderful contest & becoming the first Mr. Fresher of
CU-Raj ?
A. I feel very happy. The contest was thrilling. However, it gave me a big responsibility also to smoothly
conduct the contest while organizing it in the next year.
Q. Why have you chosen not to be a hosteller even though the university is primarily modeled
as a residential one?
A. My family owns business in Kishangarh and I spend some time in working there every day. Hotel
Galaxy and Parkview restaurant on City Road, Kishangarh are owned by my family. Therefore, I cannot
spend all my time in the university.
Q. What after MBA?
A. I am interested in working in the financial services sector for 2-3 years. After that I plan to set up a
business in Kishangarh, maybe something related to marble industry. I attach importance to my family and I feel responsible for its well-being, therefore, I would return to Kishangarh after my stint in the
financial sector and settle down in Kishangarh.
Q. Favourite color?
A. Black.
Q. Favourite movie?
A. Chak de India.
Q. Actor you hate the most?
A. Abhishek Bachchan.

Q. What do you think about Ms. Fresher?
A. She is beautiful and has good communications skills.
Q. Who do you think should ideally be Ms. Fresher from the entire pool of seniors and juniors?
A. Aastha Tak. I knew her before joining CU-Raj, she is a sister of a close friend. She has good personality, great looks, wonderful communication skills etc.
Q. The ideal attributes of Ms. Fresher?
A. Good communication skills, confidence and risk taking ability.
Q. Any entrepreneur who inspires you?
A. EktaKapoor. Being a woman she has made her mark in the entertainment industry quite well. We
both have the same weight (EktaKapoor was 90 kilos before slimming down)! Her father, Jitendra ,
started Balaji Telefilms and therefore, she too like me, had a family business to begin with.
Q. Do you think an entrepreneur should take ‘short-cuts’ which are unethical and could be illegal as well?
A. No, I don’t think so. In the long run, unethical acts like say bribing, does not serve any purpose.
Q. Do you like anybody in the university?
A. You.
Q. No, I mean a girl!
A. None. (Vaibhav is still a ‘lonely heart’)

W
hen Hrithik shouts this in the end the audience is left awestruck with a burst of emotions.
Comparing this to the original will be unjustified as both
the movies have their own
appeal.... but certainly the
Hrithik version can give you
full value for your money if
you are a fan of Bollywood /
Hrithik. If you are an ardent
moviegoer, you might have
felt bad with the fate of Don
and Sholay remakes but
Agneepath rises. Yash Johar
& Mukul Anand will be proud
of Karan. They can choose
either or both.
AGNEEPATH is an uncomplicated story of revenge, is
hard-hitting yet entertaining,
dwells on strong emotions
and aggressive and forceful action, yet is dissimilar from the original. Debutant director Karan Malhotra sponges from the original, but bestows the
new version with a fresh texture.Most Hindi films
initiate with a bang, but run out of gas by the time
they reach the finale, often getting deflated in between as well, but AGNEEPATH is vigorous from
the very commencement to the absolute conclusion.The conflict at the very initiation and also
towards the closing stages, the tension between

MUSIC REVIEW
Vijay and his mother, the game of one-upmanship
played by Vijay to grab power… AGNEEPATH is
one exhilarating ride. A vendetta story needs to
be garnished with several terrific dramatic moments and Malhotra does just that. His handling
of the subject deserves brownie points.The assessment of the movie would appear fragmentary
if one would disregard the colossal contribution by action director Abbas Ali Moghul. Raw and
gritty are two expressions that
best illustrate the action scenes
in AGNEEPATH. Kancha is larger than life and stronger than
the protagonist, so when good
eventually triumphs, the heroism
ought to come to the forefront and
it does so forcefully, convincingly
and copiously. The action scenes
are sure to draw whistles and
claps, especially the one in the finale. The film boasts of a number
of characters, but the one that
stands out is Arish Bhiwandiwala,
who portrays the young Vijay Dinanath Chauhan with flourish. Zarina Wahab is natural, Om Puri is
wonderful, Kanika Tiwari is decent, Chetan Pandit
is adequate, Rajesh Tandon is perfect and Deven
Bhojani, first-rate. Katrina Kaif sizzles in the item
number ‘Chikni Chameli’. She looks sensuous and
catches your attention with super-energetic dance
movements.
On the whole, AGNEEPATH is a fitting tribute to
the masterwork. The movie has all the potential to
scale dizzy heights of victory and catapult Hrithik
Roshan as the newest member of the 100 cr Club,
besides providing the Hindi film industry with the
first giant Blockbuster of 2012. A definite winner!
If I have to give mark out of 10, I will give 10.
