Quills 'n' Stills 8th Edition: Midsummer \"We Created this perfect illusion for you\" ~Team Q'n'S
Letter from the Coordinator Dear Students, Reading literature enables us to see the world through the eyes of others. It trains the mind to be flexible, to comprehend other points of view. Literature has had an impact on the development of society. Literature gives us a detailed preview of human experiences, allowing us to connect on basic levels of desire and emotion. When students read magazines, they learn to appreciate words and their power. They travel to other realms and times through the texts they read. They understand their own culture and others through the valuable contents of the magazine. I hope this magazine shall be very helpful in shaping the mindset of our students and helping them flourish in society. DR A.K. VYAS Coordinator (IIIT Kota)
Letter from the CACS Convener Dear Students, IIIT Kota is one among the many new IIITs established in the year 2013. Right from its inception, IIIT Kota has made several strides towards excellence in every field under the mentorship of MNIT, Jaipur. Under the able guidance of our honourable Director sir and Coordinator sir, and well- coordinated efforts from the students and faculty, a good number of clubs spanning both co-curricular and extra- curricular activities were nurtured. I extend my best wishes to the entire Quills'n'Stills team, which worked round the clock to make this magazine a reality. I hope that this magazine shall be a great platform to showcase the broad spectrum of events that happen on our campus. I convey my best wishes and congratulations and look forward to the next edition. Best Wishes, Dr. Vinita Tiwari CACS convener

Quills'n'Stills GTroakteintoufde I believe that creating anything of value requires a determined team effort. The same goes with this magazine. The final published edition is the result of many long hours of work by individuals who like to see the best version of the magazine come out. That’s why, firstly, I would like to congratulate the entire team of Q’n’S for publishing yet another fine edition of our institute magazine. I’d then like to thank my seniors for always guiding us whenever we went a bit astray from the end goal. It's always great to have someone to take advice from whenever there is a need for it. I’d also like to extend my gratitude towards our institute faculty members, and staff members who provide us with their support whenever we feel the need for it. Publishing this magazine without their support would’ve been impossible. Lastly, but most importantly, I’d like to thank all the fine contributors who send in their amazing entries to be published in our magazine. And to the readers, the ones who we do it all for, thank you for choosing to spend your time with these artists. With everyone happy, I think it’s time you turn the page over and dive right into the magazine.
Quills'n'Stills Eedyietor's H ello Readers, I hope you’re feeling every bit as excited about reading this new summer edition of Q’n’S as we are after publishing it. Each year, summer carries with it a sweet mist of nostalgia. Although with every passing year we are drifting further and further away from those adventurous childhood vacationjs, we still can’t deny that every one of us looks forward to vacations just as much as we did back then. Most of us step into this summer period with a lot of goals, each one with an elaborate day-by-day plan, but at this point, I am sure that time during vacations races through like it’s in a Formula One race, and hence number of our goals remain unfulfilled. Yet each person is never the exact same being as he/she was before the start of the vacation. Whether it is through an adventurous wander or through a sweet summer fling, we all come away with experiences that we can’t wait for our friends to know. I hope you’re having one of those remarkable summers. And if it just so happens that things aren’t really going your way, and it’s only the heat waves that’s been faking you out, don’t worry, we are in the same boat mate. Turn up the music with Bruce Sprinsteen’s “Waiting On a Sunny Day” and make yourself comfortable for a dive into the magazine. I hope you have an amazing time with this edition. Ciao. Apoorv Kashyap Editor-in-chief

Vinicius Jr. of Brazil netted the tournament-winning goal in the 59th minute after a close-range finish from Federico Valverde's cross across the face of the goal, while goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois garnered accolades for making spectacular saves to stop Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah. The Madrid goalkeeper stood like a wall between the goal post and Liverpool strikers, which eventually made him the wall between Liverpool and the Champions League trophy. After the departure of the former captain of the club, Sergio Ramos, after his association with the club for about 17 years, everyone was thinking that the club had lost its charm, but it is not the case. The French striker Karin Benzema and Brazilian defender Marcelo Vieira, who is also the captain of the team, carried the team to its record 14th title. This was also the last association of two legends, Marcelo and Gareth Bale, with Real Madrid. They both have won the Champions League five times with this club. Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, got the chance to win his fourth European Cup, making him the most successful manager in the competition's history. 601-

Quills'n'Stills Nature has always been providing and full of wisdom that one needs a whole, or maybe more than 1 lifetime Ato collect all the artefacts for everything is a masterpiece in nature. Let’s do a quick check of whether you can figure out the design in nature. Take a look at your hand. Do14you think it resembles to the hand of some other human? Yes, it does, but in a unique way. Similar as an object, but differs in reality. We all have agreed on a quote for a while which goes like- “Humans are inspired by nature.” I think we might have read it wrong. We aren’t inspired by nature, we are nature. Whenever it rains, however tensed the scenario may be, one feels replenished by petrichor (smell of the wet soil). Humans mend themselves according to the surrounding, or we can say that humans become a part of the nature they dwell in. \" Humans are inspired by nature... Are we really? 14
\" Not to forget how even the Quills'n'Stills most beautiful flower, runs stale in a day whenJust how can a seed of a mere millimetre grow detached from where itinto a tree that stands tall like a giant, and is belonged.

Ever seen an old man turning 60, reversing his lifecycle, like toggling the button for antiaging? (Recalling the movie - “The curious case of Benjamin Button”) Ever seen an old man turning 60, reversing his lifecycle, like toggling the button for antiaging? Pine green would certainly become a useless belonging to the tree and hence, would be shed by even the slightest nudge of the breeze. Not to forget how the bees carry the pollens of those flowers without even knowing what it is and helps continue the eternal cycle of growth. 15
Quills'n'Stills The same bee is attracted towards the flower for its nectar which ultimately becomes a delicacy for humans i.e. Honey. Interesting fact here is that the human suffers wrath of the bees while collecting that potent of eternal wisdom. This proves the theory that every beautiful possession in the world, comes with a price; just like spending a life on this Uplanet, costs you your time. \" Every beautiful possession, comes with a price! Ever noticed how most of the trees grow up, like trying to Fly high touch the skies? Ever seen the birds waving at you with their wings while gliding through the misty winds?

These are some events, untold but felt by most of us. That’s what we call a perfection in design. 16
Ever drawn water from a well?Roverpowered. Temperature of the water stays same round the year, but it impacts our life seasonally. Making us realize the relaxing breeze in summers and warm hugs in winters, well creates an illusion of being the perfect source of water. Water, that flows and takes shape of its beholder, dilutes the solute without losing its contents, enjoys the color dropped in and shares with every bit of itself, can become as solid as ice and evaporate in a wink, is perfect example of how nature can be so flexible when having elements that validates the perfect design theory. When this evaporate creates a white fluff ball in the sky, it makes the blue look prettier than ever. Not to underestimate the amount of water it holds, having the potential to devastate a whole city in a go. Water in nature, acts like a 3 faced demon.

Quills'n'Stills You might have had great benefits by listening to music when you don’t feel like being yourself. But have you ever heard the rustling of the trees on a breezy evening? Not only could you hear that sound at this instant but you can feel the smell of the evening you had a glimpse of right now. Ever heard the rustling of the trees on a breezy evening? \"After having a busy day, when you lie down on your bed and go through the memories of the past, you might recall those days when you were closer to the nature. I personally recall the times when I used to Egarden the plants and used to be excited about the seeds which I sow.

Having a purpose, helps you excel in your life, making it more meaningful and preparing you better for those hard times when you need more self-motivation, rather than a ssurance from an external entity. ~kunaaal 18
Global Information Tracker or Goddamn Idiotic Truckload of sh*t Git is one of the most used fundamental tools for being a developer. According to Wikipedia: { Git is a software for tracking changes in any set of } files, usually used for coordinating work among programmers collaboratively developing source code during software development. Its goals include speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows (thousands of parallel branches running on different systems). Git was originally authored by Linus Torvalds in 2005 for the development of the Linux kernel, with other kernel developers contributing to its initial development. A lot of new terminologies huh? In There is a very interesting backstory simple words, git allows a healthy about the development of git: collaboration between developers Linux kernel developers were using and allows us, lazy-ass developers, BitKeeper, a proprietary Source Code from doing redundant work and Management(SCM) system, since multiple copies of the same work. It 2002 to maintain the project. Larry maintains a transparent history of McVoy, the copyright holder of changes, who made them, and how BitKeeper, withdrew the free use of they contribute to the development BitKeeper claiming that SourcePuller of a project helps team members stay has been created using reverse aligned while working independently. engineering the protocols of BitKeeper. 19
Quills'n'Stills So now many developers of Linux kernel gave up access to BitKeeper. Linus wanted to have a distributed system like BitKeeper. For his design criterion, he specified that patching should take no more than three seconds, and added three more goals: > Take the Concurrent Versions System (CVS) as an example of what not to do; if in doubt, make the exact opposite decision. (LOL) > Support a distributed, BitKeeper-like workflow. > Include very strong safeguards against corruption, either accidental or malicious. These were very ambitious goals considering the technology of the time. These criteria eliminated every version-control system in use at the time, thus, immediately after the 2.6.12-rc2 Linux kernel development release, began the development of the single most used DVCS on 3 April 2005. Surprisingly Torvalds achieved his goals on 29 April and on 16 June, Git managed the kernel 2.6.12 release. But come on, this is Linus Torvalds. Unexpectedness is expected of him. Now, let’s understand some basics of git. What is VCS? The file history appears as snapshots Version control is a system that in time called commits, and the records changes to a file or set of files over time so that you can recall commits exist as a linked-list specific versions later. Using a VCS also generally means that if you relationship and can be organized screw things up or lose files, you can easily recover. In addition, you get all into multiple lines of development this for very little overhead. called branches. Because Git is a What is a repository? DVCS, repositories are self-contained A repository, or Git project, encompasses the entire collection of units and anyone who owns a copy of files and folders associated with a project, along with each file’s the repository can access the entire revision history. codebase and its history. Using the command line or other ease-of-use interfaces, a git repository also allows for: interaction with the history, cloning, creating branches, committing, merging, comparing changes across versions of code, and more. 20
Quills'n'Stills How does git store files? Now at this point, I want to leave you with a few very interesting questions. Most other VCS store information as What are the tradeoffs between the a list of file-based changes. They two approaches to store the versions think of information as a set of files that we just discussed? Who do you and the changes made to each file think will win if there are a lot of over time, known commonly as delta- changes to the project and we want a based version control. VCS? Instead, git thinks of data more like a To know more details about this and series of snapshots of a mini to get answers please scan the QR filesystem.

RPA simply identifies, observes, and mirrors the interaction of humans and the thought By combining such technology with : processes the same while being involved with a AI (Artificial Intelligence) software application. Its ability to mimic the Machine Learning way humans handle and perform computer- NLP (Natural Language Processing) based has contributed significantly to its Machine Vision popularity as compared to the application programming interfaces (APIs) or low-code the process of text extraction and optical development that are more scalable but less character recognition, bots with higher instinctual. Intelligence can be coded in order to assist us, humans in our journey towards automation. The most basic RPA bots can be made by recording a user's clicks and keystrokes The talk of the town!! while a certain user, is performing tasks in a software application. When an issue arises, a RPA is turning a lot of heads due to the fact it is user only needs to observe how the bot is able to lessen costs, streamline processes, and interacting with the app to pinpoint the steps pressure higher client experiences. Another that need to be adjusted. spell of the RPA software program is that commercial enterprise devices can be put into In reality, these simple recordings are frequently effect without their having to research new gear used as a model for creating more adaptable or ask IT, groups, for support and without bots that can vary their layout, screen size, or attempting to change an organization's process.

Their Hina revealed something to Hodaka about her abilities that really changed things. There's an old adage that says everything comes at a price. Hina's talents were in a similar situation. So, how much did it cost? Were they apprehended by the cops? So, what happened next? You must see the film in order to do so. The animation in this film is the greatest part. The animation is stunning, and I'd go so far as to say flawless. Every element has been meticulously completed.

Quills'n'Stills याद है ना वो बीते हुए पल , याद है ना। जिनमें हुआ करती मस्ती थी , घर में खुशियों की रौनक बस्ती थी। हर दिन हम उम्र भाई-बहिन के संग , ख़ुशियों और मस्तियों की यादें बनती थी। साथ में उनके डोरेमोन, छोटा भीम देखना , सुबह शाम उनके संग खेल खेलना। पता न रहता हमें भूख प्यास का , आँख-मिचौली संग यार का। लड़ना-झगड़ना संग अपनों के , मना लेते दो मीठी बातें बोलके । धूप से परेशान हम छाँव थे ढूँढ़ते , आम के पेड़ की छाँव में बैठते। शरारत करने के हम मोहताज़ी थे , पत्थर मारकर आम तोड़ने के उस्तादी थे। फिर दौड़ते-दौड़ते घर को आते , माँ के आँचल में शरारत को छिपाते। बन बैठते थे हम बच्चे भोले-भाले , शरारत करते थे हम बैठे ठाले। अब आँख-मिचौली खेलती ज़िन्दगी है , रात-दिन सपनों को सच करने में गुज़रती है। फिर भी अके ले बैठा खुद से कहता हूँ कि , वो बीते हुए पल , याद है ना। -देव भरद्वाज 30
Quills'n'Stills ख्वाब मेरा हर दिन हर शाम तुमसे ही, बीतता हुआ हर पल और रात तुमसे ही, मेरी हर मुस्कान पर नाम तुमसे ही, और दिल को मोह लेने वाली बात तुमसे ही, तुमसे ही रोशन दिल के हर बाग़ है, हर लफ्ज़ में तुम्हारे लिए प्यार का राग है, खुशहाल रात का कारण भी तुम हों, और न सोने देने वाले वक़्त की वजह भी तुम हो, मेरे मृदुल दिल का टु कड़ा भी तुम, और चाँद सा रोशन मुखड़ा भी तुम, मेरे जीवन का एक पन्ना भी तुम, और उनसे बनी खूबसूरत किताब भी तुम, अब गुजरते समय के साथ ये पल बीत जाएंगे, पर ख्वाबों के सिवा किसी के लिए सच न हो पाएंगे। -देव भरद्वाज 31

Quills'n'Stills INVISIQUE LIVING I feel as if I don’t exist As if my breath doesn't carry away a difference, As if my smile doesn't matter anymore, As if my words aren't sound, My voice isn't bound and my vision Has gone numb to all that is light. Those hands were cold as a stoned heart, Waiting for the warmth of blood to be poured upon, To be seen and to be heard, To be saved from whatsoever behind. I stink of rose petals and I sound preposterous, isn't it hurting? I am trying to be flared upon my own Guilt, ridden by truths I've endured my life to, I am a lost soul, wandering in the night sky looking for a star to be carried away. - Ramesh Kumar Saragadam 33
Quills'n'Stills Curse of Valentine Here I pass the death I shall abide, words I spill and then deny, I too am a victim of the suffering you could imagine, lying pale and thorough among my faction. Love, you are not alone you just haven't met me yet, my anger soothes your passion. Trust me there is more to us, people are compelled to not see you, Your potency and wizardry But then again how would I ever have discovered your charm, my love. There's nothing true in this, In you, in me, and so-called us. Everything fades away, Be it My pride or your prejudice and The only thing that remains is our undying love, Through centuries and beyond. I let you feel me, so did you, In the deepest way, among the darkest of times It's time for us to bid goodbye And still, we won't leave our hands, Until eternity passes by. - Ramesh Kumar Saragadam 34
