FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK:Dear Acharians (Readers),

We are delighted to present our Autumn issue of Acharya Samachar: we sincerely worked to bring out this issue to a decent standard. We do acknowledge there is an immense scope to make it better, and we will strive to make it thoroughly enjoyable.

The Autumn issue has focused on the diversity of the Acharya Institutes. It was possible by pooling our budding multimedia skills among us (page layout, designing, reporting, photography, sub-editing). It is titled ‘Acharya: A world’ which reflects on where we are. It is an opportunity for us to experience the cultural diversity, and relish the harmony and make friends from one’s own district in the country to overseas students (who had come from Africa and Middle East to whom we have to demonstrate the spirit of Atithi Devo Bhava - guest is equivalent to God, Acharya Campus has 12 institutions teaching psychology and pharmacy to mining and mechanical engineering and many more. It enables more than 10,000 students from 66 countries across the world to gain educational, cultural and life-enriching skills to sports.

The Campus is green, and clean; it adds the serenity of learning, and experiencing life in various aspects of life. And, we all have the responsibility to keep our surroundings in and out of the Campus clean and green, and to contribute at the grassroots level to Swachh Bharat or Clean India. Acharya Samachar is an in-house magazine exclusively brought out by the students of Department of Journalism and Mass Communications (BA & MA).

This is our maiden attempt to bring in this format, and we did our best to bring out like this. We would like to assure you that in the coming issues there will be more to report, key issues to analyze and keep you updated about what is happening here, and elsewhere.

Acharians, we promise you, the next issue (which will be in your hands before Christmas, and New Year 2016), will be packed with snippets of information; as we say, news has educational and informational value.

If you’ve something to share (a poem, a feature, a news (nosy) item, photographs), please email us: [email protected] or drop in to have a chat with us at our department in AIGS block.

Kalam's advice to the press: focus on positive news

By Darshan Devaiah B P

man' the 'People's President' left us… He gave intelligible language for information, inspiration and the Fmany lectures to the youth of different education of the readers. True Journalism vitalizes nation

backgrounds but many people don't know that he had also ethics and values. There is no room for sensationalism in it,

lectured young journalists by asking them to focus on even if in the short run it might sell. It will be sheer stories of importance to the society such as achievements sacrilege. True Journalism is courageous, truthful, in science, technology, agriculture and the works of people inspiring and exalting,” Dr Kalam said according to who made a difference to the nation. Ganesh Mokhashi, Editor, 'Nera Maatu', Kannada

Dr Kalam had a negative impression on Indian media. He fortnightly.

said, “I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and

bombardments and deaths had taken place. But the front

page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish

gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert

into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture

that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings,

bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper,

buried among other news. In India we only read about

death, sickness, terrorism, crime.

“Why is the media in India so Negative? Why are we in

India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our

achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so

many amazing success stories but we refuse to

acknowledge them. Why? We are the first in Milk

Production, We are the number one in Remote Sensing

Satellites, We are second largest producer of wheat and

rice.”

“Look at Dr H. Sudarashan, he has transferred a tribal

village into a self-sustaining, self driving unit. There are

millions of such achievements but our media is only

obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters,” noted

Dr Kalam.

At the end of his speech at PCB, Dr Kalam gave the oath

to Journalists, which is:

I love my profession, journalism.

As a young at heart journalist, I am a partner in

national development

As a young at heart journalist, I will always increase

my research and analysis capability through

university training.

I will promote through media the good news about

the nation wherever it takes place.

I will visit water bodies in panchayats and report,

how it is maintained.

I will celebrate the success of our people particularly

in the rural panchayats, whether it is in agriculture,

fishing or craftsmanship or tourism.

I will propagate innovative growth and success

stories to different parts of the country for emulation

by similarly placed people.

I will report innovations, societal movements where

ever it occurs.

My national flag flies in my heart and I will bring

glory to my nation.

“The Empress Story”After motherhood, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan hits the ramp

By Payel Banerjee

Double Barrel: An experimental filmBy Subin P K

Written & Directed By: Lijo Jos PelliseryLanguage: MalayalamMusic: Prashanth PillaiCinematography: Abinandhan RamanujamStarring: Prithwi Raj, Indrajith, Aarya, Asif Ali, Sunny Wayne, Swathi ReddyProduced by Prithwiraj, Shaji Nadesan, Santhosh Sivan and Aarya Banner: August filmsRating: 3/5

Double Barrel is a hit film. It is a multi-starrer and an experimental film, for the first time in Malayalam. It's a gangster spoof with a comical touch. It is inspired by graphic novels and gangster comedy movies. The plot revolves around a group of gangsters fighting for two stones “Laila-Majnu”, with other gangs. Prithwiraj and Indrajith who plays the gamblers Pancho and Vinci have done a great job. Swathi Reddy has done complete justice to her role. Cinematography and background score deserves a special applause but the songs fail to impress the audience, so is editing which is drab. For every movie freak, Double Barrel is a must to watch.

Power (current) is a source of everything for everything in cities. There are electricity cuts in Bengaluru for 4-6 hour power-cuts. It is annoying to see this happening in Bengaluru which is the IT Hub and capital of Karnataka. However government and BESCOM officials had hinted that there will be power-cuts for around 2-3 hours in a day. It has become worse and there are unscheduled power-cuts which is affecting productivity and efficiency. Many are suffering because of this especially the industries and IT sector that are dependent on power.

Food joints to lighten your pockets By Poornima Ramesh & Abhisha Khajuria

Hungry? Bored of the same old food? Are you in the mood for trying out some clean and less-expensive food joints? Acharya Samachar explored the eateries around the campus.

Hot Corns

It's a favorite eat-out for students. Hot Corns has been serving sandwiches, corn and flavoured soda for 7 years. As it is within the campus students find it as the best place to eat during their break-time. “I come here for Sweet Jaljeera Soda and Corn Cheese Sandwich. It's very tasty," says Shankar, a Diploma student. Sweet corns come in different flavors and refreshing flavored soda is available in the price range of Rs 10 and Rs 20. One can grab sandwiches in the price range of Rs 25-35. This is definitely a pocket-friendly with a yummy quotient! Sharma Punjabi Restaurant

The food here will leave your taste buds tingling. Students living in PGs' and hostels prefer Sharma Punjabi dhaba for the tasty Chole batura, Chicken biryani, Kaju masala, Chilly chicken and Shahi paneer which tops list of their preference. If you wish to try a beverage after a heavy Punjabi meal, then Lassi is waiting for you. Sachin, an Engineering student says, “I come here regularly with my friends for lunch and dinner. Prices are affordable and food is served fresh." So now you know where to find that spicy Punjabi food for your lunch!

Al-Baiek Family Restaurant

Most students find it as the best place to hang out and spend time with their buddies. It's quite a peaceful place, with variety of milkshakes to choose from. Kamini, an architecture student told us that she comes here often with her friends as the place is spacious to chill-out yet not burning her wallet. The restaurant also supplies cakes and pastries for birthdays and parties. Breakfast and meal are also served: noodles, rolls and milkshakes are the ones to be tasted, which leaves you wanting for some more!

Delhi Darbar RestaurantDelhi Darbar serves both veg and non-veg cuisine. The chole batura and paratha served here is the best. "I love both veg and non-veg varieties served here. The taste is excellent, my seniors and lecturers referred me to this place," says Raghav, a BSc student. The place is mostly filled with students and faculty of Acharya. The food served here is worth for the price. Meal for two approximately costs around Rs 100 which is a pleasant surprise in this expensive era. A wide range of parathas is a must to taste. They serve a variety of parathas like aloo paratha, onion paratha, mix paratha, paneer paratha and many more. If you prefer having non-veg, there is an unending options to choose from. Chicken Mughlai, French Chicken, Chicken Tikka, Chicken Rasaa seem to be the hot favorites.
