From the Editor’s Desk Welcome to the end of the May edition of Bhavanasmita. I heard this quote about May, “May is a month of uncertainties. It may be sunny, it may rain, it may snow and it may be the driest ever”. As I am writing this, it is 31st May, with a dust storm clouding up the vision of many. This month, was a month of opportunities as well, with the month being filled with celebration, starting with Labour Day and ending with BISMUN’23, where the theme reflected a Galaxy of Possibilities. A lot of rhyming words hide in the editor’s pen, of course. So, should we convert them into a poem, can we not? May, a month of uncertainty Exists as an aberration Between the Month of April and June, a creation Of a lack of creativity But with uncertainty Comes opportunity And possibilities To create or destroy cities To create minds that think That never ever dull Like Titanic’s hull Or minds that sink So, with uncertainty Must come opportunity And possibilities That’s the reason for creativity Warmest Regards… Thanks and Regards Editorial Team (Students & Staff) Designed by, Department of Computer Science.
