Aravind R human society was followed by the taming of this other light. The light which we cannot see. Audra 18 Anthony Doerr gave me this realisation through his book ‘All the light we cannot see’. His poetic saga on wAAelnclaathnn-enaolliytgsshieste human emotions set in war ravaged Europe uses light as a metaphor to explain simple human condition. The We humans can only comprehend a short range in the tale unravels through two protagonists, both of them vast spectrum of light. The light which was visible to us are representation of two ends of a coin. Marie being came to be known simply as ‘visible light’. The light which blind has to depend on the physical models her father provides our world with multitude of colours and shades. has made to navigate the streets of Paris. Werner on The light which gave us the ability to understand and the other hand is the master of invisible light, he had appreciate the creation of nature. the uncanny ability in a very young age to fix unworkable Light as an entity has always been a fascinating creature. radios in his town. His father was killed in a mining In our many endeavours, the greatest of it was to accident, later on that becames an inspiration for him to harness the invisible abilities of light. The light which was join Hitler youth. beyond the realms of our naked eye. The development of The thing that sticks out to us is the perfect usage of contrast. The sheer representation of light in its different formats is commendable. Where Marie is physically blind to the world around her but still tries her maximum to bring up a sense of sanity into it. In spite of living in constant darkness, she still can feel the pain that the Nazi Germany has inflicted upon thousands. Werner on the other hand, is completely blind to the atrocities that his Nazi commanders have inflicted upon even his best friend. Werner in no sense is a bad character but due to his constant ambition to get a proper life, he had to overlook some things. Werner’s silence did more damage than his participation. Their stories do cross through the very same device of light. The light that bound them together but still they were not able to see. There is this beautifully written chapter where the writer takes us through the streets of Paris when Marie is fleeing with her father to safer grounds. The whole point of view centres upon Marie where she is only able to hear the commotion, the pain that the war has brought upon people. The sound of the cramped spaces, people sobbing, running. Light plays a big role in the narrative. I as a reader got the insight on how light has shaped human society. The vast amount of radio transmissions that the Nazi Germany was cutting down to little resistance taking birth with that. Light has played a key part in connecting us together, gave us the strength to come out of darkness. Light is the reason you are reading this or talking to your distant friend. In these ages of darkness, we only need a patch of light. Maybe a light which we cannot see but the light which we can hear, smell and feel like those radios that Werner worked upon and the signals it send. College of Horticulture 15

Pournami Sreekumar Aagneya 13 Under the Old Banyan Tree Under the old banyan tree Sat an old man Wrapped in torn clothes The long fingers of the tree, Descending down from the top, touched his headlocks, coming down together to just touch the roots but not able to. On a hot sunny day, when the man leaned over the tree’s trunk and looked up the tree the emptiness of his eyes was the solace the tree sought from the scorching heat. For the tree knew, for the life it lived for centuries it was unattended, unappreciated for the selflessness it had put in, very like the old man. And the man knew, of all the land he lived, over the years this piece of earth, of this huge tree is his shelter of comfort. with the warmth they shared, in a globe where all chase the stars they together went for the roots, for years, in futile it was there they had treasured their happiness, their dreams of life, unlived. 20 College of Horticulture

Neena Chacko in the name of traditions. They were actually dance performers before prostitution became a Anokha 19 business among them. The girl children here are not married off but are responsible for looking after their An Unknown Family by selling themselves. Certificate by Birth In a book, Migrant women and work. written by Dr. Anuja Agarwal, She wrote about the women of the community. A 2 hours drive from the city of Lucknow would take us There is a “Family dimension to the trade’’ she said. The to a small village, Nat Purwa. They have a population men are also involved in making sex work an important of less than 5000. Empowerment of women has been aspect of the family economy. Men here marry girls from increasing these days, but the village of Nat Purwa has distant villages but daughters are forced into this at an a different story to tell. early age. Like most other villages around here, Nat Purwa suffers The Criminal Tribes Act, of 1871 passed under British Law from absolute poverty. But one element makes the targeted the Nat, Classifying them as tribes involved in village different from other areas. The families here are criminal activities. Left out with nothing, they ended up dependent on their girl children who make money through in prostitution. Neither the government, nor the law is prostitution. The girls here are forced to sell themselves ready to help them. None of the girls here knew this was wrong until the HIV cases in this village shoot up. The NGO’s are trying to educate them against HIV’s. This is not just the story of Nat Purwa, Wadia in Gujarat, Bachara tribe in Madhya Pradesh and Devadasis in Karnataka have similar story. Since the British Period, women have fed their families through Prostitution. Education and campaigns have very little effect on these villages because they are bound to a tradition which is difficult to break. A Woman’s safety is the prime responsibility of the family she live in. Living in a world where empowerment of woman and gender equality strikes are on its peak, prostitution for the sake of family and tradition is a big shame for the whole country. Every girl has the right to live her life on her wish. Women empowerment is not only about giving equal gender opportunities but is also about uplifting them,. Even after these many years of Independence, there are many villages who have been denied their basic rights. The Nats and devadasis are only few of those untold stores hidden deep inside the villages of india. How can we empower our woman without breaking these traditions is a big question which has to be answered by all the people of India. 24 College of Horticulture

Athira Shajin The Last Prayaga 16 Sleep 26 College of Horticulture Each time when the flashing lights and wailing sirens pass by tides of memories strike the shore of my heart And it cuts me so deep; I start to sink into a deep black hole, And those worst memories buy me within it. I couldn’t believe it was happening… That I could loose him and it could be the end. I was growing up knowing he could die any second, But I fed myself with lies that, he was perfectly fine And nothing to worry about. But inside me, I knew that I could do nothing. The pain weighed me down! I was craving to cry aloud; But I couldn’t I wanted someone to hear me, let those horrible thoughts out; But no one did! Despite of the difficult times Those were the best days that we spent together Tears of joy sparkled through the pain. I always memorise those moments… I saw his half opened eyes… The half cold body gasping for air I wished, it wasn’t real… Tears rolled down my cheeks & terrific feeling came over me That my soul couldn’t resist Hopes flow out of me… And I realized it was his end. May be death loved him more than we did, It was a battle, one was to lose and fight against demon, no choice but to give up, They said the pain would go, but the years don’t make it easier It seems I’ve just got better not letting my feelings show. Love him and still missing him….
