Dr. R. Chandra BabuVice-ChancellorI am glad to know that the Students’ Union of College of Horticulture ispublishing its annual College magazine ‘Jus soli’. The annual magazine is atestimony of the by-gone year and an arena for students to articulate theirthoughts, ethos and imageries. At a time when dissent and dissonance face theaxe, literature should rediscover itself to come up with renewed fervor andfocus.The endeavor taken by the students to showcase their artistic and literary talentsamidst their professional studies is indeed praiseworthy. I appreciate the entireteam behind this aesthetically pleasing literary and artistic venture. With best wishes, Dr. R. Chandra Babu 03

Dr. C. George Thomas Associate Dean A college magazine is born with the collective efforts of students, teachers, and other staff members. Apart from showcasing the literary and artistic talents of youngsters, undoubtedly, it acts as a proud memento of campus life showcasing their hopes and accomplishments. I have noted the earnest zeal and enthusiasm of the Students’ Union (2016-17) in channelizing the youth into various student centric activities in the college. In College of Horticulture, the Students’Union play a proactive role in curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular activities.The students of our college have brought many laurels by winning in both academic and non-academic fields, and I congratulate all of them. I am happy that the College magazine is now ready overcoming many hurdles. I appreciate the efforts put in by the editorial team comprising of the staff editor, Dr. Jose Joseph, student editor, Mr. M. C. Vivek and the members of the magazine committee. I congratulate the team work behind this literary endeavor and wish all the budding professionals a bright future. Dr. C. George Thomas04

Dr. Jose Joseph Staff Editor “Life is simply a collection of memories, but memories are like star light. They live on forever.” When we walk down the memory lane, the fun, timeless stories, loads of memories, numerous emotions, hang out places and everlasting friendships associated with the campus life will make us smile any time. Campus life is the best period of one’s life. The College Magazine ‘Jus soli’ is a perfect amalgamation and beautiful chronicle of the framed scenes of bewitching memories, ethos, inspired imaginations, aspirations and frustrations of the young minds of College of Horticulture. An attempt has been made in the magazine to unearth the talents concealed within the student community and uncover their unique voices. It is a true mirror of the creativity and innovations of the budding agri professionals of the College. A great deal of effort has been gone into the designing, editing and making of this excellent visual fest. I do appreciate and applaud the hard work and dedication of student editor Shri. M.C. Vivek and members of his editorial team in bringing out this edition of the College Magazine of College of Horticulture. Dr. Jose Joseph06

Hubaib Hassan C.A. The Wedding Present Taurus ‘14 Mitra had always hated arrangedJus soli marriage. She was that type of person who loved romantic films and when ‘La la land’ couldn’t win an Oscar, she was the first one to rant her fury on Facebook. Sometimes she cried herself to sleep thinking about the plot where the lover met with death or when they couldn’t marry due to fierce family opposition. But now, things had taken a turn and her father had fixed her marriage. Not that she was in a serious relationship. But she loathed the idea of starting a life with a stranger. “A STRANGER”, she grimaced at the thought. It was just one week before the marriage. As it happens in any Indian middle class family, the celebrations had already begun. Mitra’s house was already abuzz with phone calls, visits, relatives and friends. Often, she found herself forcing a smile to each and everyone passing by. “Mitra, aren’t you going to town today?” her father reminded her. “I nearly forgot Dad”, Mitra replied with a smug face, slightly embarrassed at her forgetfulness. She kissed her dad goodbye, and phoned her best friend and cousin Athira to be in town by 5.00pm. As she drove her car scuttling through the traffic, she thought about her “future husband”. One Mr.Ardrav. A police officer. The very last day, he came with his family to visit them. For ten minutes they spoke alone. Of course, he was a good looking well clad gentleman, but Mitra felt that he was too old fashioned for her taste. He came in an executive outfit as if it was an interrogation room and spoke only when required. He had a serious tone and an air of a man who meant business. What could one expect more from a person whose clients were gangsters and scoundrels? “Oh God!! how could I live with this man Ardrav”, Mitra thought to herself. A woman passing in front of her car jolted Mitra out of her thought. She pulled 25 College of Horticulture

It was then Ardrav, with whom her marriage was fixed, “Where the hell have you were been?” her cousin Athira came to see her. The thought of her marriage made her came rushing , “I have been waiting for you here for the numb. Because she knew that Ardrav would leave her for past half an hour. “ his own good. There was no question of marrying a girl who had disgraced the family. To cancel a wedding after “You are afraid to be alone?”, Mitra teased her and gave making all the arrangements was suicidal both financially a small punch on her shoulder cueing her that she didn’t and emotionally.

Whenever she selected life she was ready to do anything to marry Ardrav. The something, she would remember her mother or father and man whom she called a ‘stranger’!! change her mind. After a rigorous hour of shopping and still not impressed by the selection, she decided to try Her family was nowhere to be seen. She realised it why. another shop. Ardrav had come to the hospital to bid good bye to her. So it’s all done. This would be their last rendezvous. When “You stay here and get me one when I return” Mitra Ardrav sat beside the bed, she sobbed again. She was said to Athira. Athira nodded lazily, obviously not liking distraught with grief. But quite unexpectedly, as if in a her cousin’s bossy attitude. dream, Ardrav took Mitra’s hand in his and gave it a kiss. She almost jerked with surprise. “Don’t be too late Didi, its already late” Athira shouted at the top of her voice. Mitra was already on the doorstep. “Ardrav”, Mitra mumbled through her teeth, a mixture She clenched her two fists and punched playfully into the of surprise and confusion shaking her voice. air as if to prove to her cousin that she was afraid of no one. “I have brought you something”, Ardrav opened a small box and inside it was a small wedding ring.

One week later, their marriage took place in the most Then suddenly, out of nowhere, two men strangled her grandiloquent manner. A pompous feast was served and to the ground.

The maniacs smelled of together, Mitra realised how much she loved him. She dirt and drugs.

Suddenly as if God heard her prayers, the old woman who “That was the day when your father made me cry..” was cutting vegetables nearby, struck the molestor down, a sharp knife in her hand. The hop-heads had fled and Jus soli thanks to the old woman, Mitra was saved. Mitra was too tired and exhausted to the point that the old woman had to carry her into her home. She then gave her clothes to change and as soon as she was in bed, her mind slipped to oblivion. When she woke up, she was in hospital. Except for some nurses, she was alone in the ward.

Before going to explore the post-modernoutbursts against science and sustainable development, A modern art paintingwe should have some idea about modernism and post-modernism.

Modernism, as a movement, customs.

Post-modernists assert that modernRevolution, a period that lasted from the 18th to the 19th science is just one culture-bound way of looking atcenturies, in which rapid changes in manufacturing, nature! For them, the content of all knowledge is sociallytransportation, and technology profoundly affected the constructed; even the supposed “laws” or “facts” ofsocial, economic, and cultural fabric of life in Europe,North America, and eventually the whole world.Enlightenment was at the core of modernism, a generalattitude advanced in the 17th and 18th centuries, ofattaining truth, justice, and happiness through knowledgeand reason. Enlightenment enabled people to questionsuperstitions and traditions through critical reasoning andscientific methods. It aimed at creating a clear and rationalview of the world, believing that through science andreason humankind can advance and grow. New forms oftransportation such as railways, highways, aircrafts, andothers changed the way people lived, worked, andtravelled, both at home and abroad, expanding theirworldview and access to new ideas. The era ofmodernism saw great works in the field of arts, literature,music, architecture, poetry, and science.

Science is universal, and by following the much-acclaimed scientific method, it allows everyone to learn more about the universe. It also corrects itself through socially established ways of subjecting existing knowledge to empirical tests. As discussed earlier, however, post-modernism does not permit to have a universalistic view of science, and therefore, it cannot have any role in science. Reductionism is at loggerheads with post-modernism. Reductionism means a bottom up approach to understand complex natural phenomena by ‘reducing’them to their fundamental parts and studying their interactions under controlled conditions. Scientific reductionism is most often used to describe the notion that everything on earth can be broken into smaller and smaller parts and that the whole can be understood in this way. This includes many things such as theories, phenomena, objects, and explanations. 41 College of Horticulture

The idea of reductionism was first introduced by Rene even further. Schools with wholistic learning styles and Descartes (hence, sometimes also referred as Cartesian wholistic medicine that considers the mind, body, and reductionism) in his famous book Discourse on the spirit in diagnosis and treatment are examples. You may Method of Rightly Conducting One’s Reason and of also find wholistic models in other fields such as Seeking Truth in the Sciences (1637). In his view, various agriculture. However, most of the claims of supporters phenomena are the consequences of the coming together of “only wholism” are unsubstantiated. Post modernists of individual parts each with its own inherent properties reject reductionism and embrace wholism. Many of them shaping the behavior of the system as a whole. do not have much faith in replicated experiments Reductionist approaches help us to break complex following the principles of experimentation as they systems down into their components, and each piece can simply reject reductionism. People who are opposed to be studied individually by way of disciplinary and sub- science often use the words “reductionism” and disciplinary approaches. If we know the parts, the “reductionist” to condemn whatever they dislike about dynamics of the whole system can be derived. Reduction modern science.

In fact, reductionism focuses on the properties of parts; and holism, on the relationship The rejection of reductionist ideas is often called between them. Put together, reductionism and holism holism.Holism asserts that things have certain properties stand out as supplementary rather than conflicting ideas. as a whole, which cannot be explained based on its The sad part of the whole issue is that interdisciplinary components parts. The word ‘holism’ is from Greek convergence is impossible in the present disciplinary meaning all, whole, entire, or total. A key principle of organization of academic institutions in India. It is now holism is: “The whole is different from the sum of its a fashion to form new watertight departments, faculties, parts”. Contrary to reductionism, holism inquires about and even universities based on false claims. This kind of a whole system by probing the system as a whole in its greedy reductionism is not good for science. As far as entirety instead of dismantling it and studying the parts. reductionism and holism are concerned, although some The supporters of holism assert that the properties of a people prefer to use one of the two styles of thinking to given system such as physical, biological, chemical, the exclusion of the other, it is more appropriate to use social, and economic cannot be explained based on its whichever style suits a given situation. Arguably, some component parts alone. For them, the system as a whole situations call for holistic thinking, while others, determines how the parts behave. Although the idea of requiring a closer look at the parts of the system, are holism has ancient roots, introduction of the term ‘holism’ better suited for reductionism. For example, watershed is credited to the South African diplomat Jan Smuts. He management is an area where we should go for both made a mention of holism in his 1926 book, Holism and reductionist and holistic approaches. We approach Evolution (Smuts, 1926).
