NITW FOOTBALL LEAGUE KICKS OFF

By Roni Bhattacharya

The third edition of The NITW Football League is starting to take shape, and the talented players are firmly stamping their authority.

Kerala Blasters sit on top with ten points from four games, however Galacticos and Highlanders are right on their tail with two games in hand and six points to play for. It's been a surprisingly tough start for last year's runners-up, Spartans; they will require their first win to make any further progress.

The stand out performers so far have been Muhammed Jazeel and Dawood Munib, both earning four goals from all their matches played, and topping the goal-scoring charts.


With more matches left to be played, and fixtures coming in thick and fast, don't miss out on any of the action happening at the NITW stadium every evening under the floodlights. For further details and updates refer to the link below:

NATURE CLUB SETS PAINTINGS IN STONE

By Krupa Sreyasi Chandolu

What happens when you mix art and nature? Ideas get boulder and the paint keeps rolling. Pebble Painting was one such event conducted by the Nature Club where students had the opportunity to test their artistic limits by using an extraordinary canvas, pebbles.

Conducted on 26th March, in the evening at NAB, it was amazing to watch a healthy turnout of students from all years cooped in a NAB classroom hard at work on their smooth-as-an-egg rocks. At the price of a simple registration consisting of sharing your personal details, students were bestowed with a row of paint colors, paper cup and brush.

Nature Club and Pebble Painting are chiseling the art scene in NITW to new heights.

 

NOT TOO COOL FOR THE SUMMER

By Krupa Sreyasi Chandolu

Temperatures in NITW are peaking with the conclusion of March. As the summer season is upon us, and winter does not appear to be coming any time soon, we advise students to keep the following tips in mind while battling this onslaught of heat:

  • Stay hydrated: Water water everywhere; nor any drop to drink! let your body become a rendition of your school-text-book poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Repeated hydration is optimal to let your body cool.

  • Frequent Baths: Not only do we become stinky and sweaty, but also irritable. Maybe spending some time under the shower taps is not a bad idea

  • Coolers in the rooms: For Rs. 340 until 15th of May, and Rs. 700 until 31st of July, students can now rent or buy coolers to keep in their rooms. However do ensure to clean the cooler-water at regular intervals to prevent stagnation, foul smell and mosquito breeding. Switching off the cooler before leaving the room is also necessary to avoid power failure and the curses of your hostel mates.

POCKET PERUSALS:

By Kaumudi Dande (3rd Year, B.Tech)

Alzheimer's


Heedless, he stepped on the wild bellflowers

And wondered why his heart twinged at that.

If only he looked at the picture in his coat pocket,

He'd know the purple ones were her favorite.
