WARNING: REALITY CHECK
.
“Change is the only constant.”
Knowing that, I still resist it; from one school to another, from school to college, and now from college to reality.
Being brutally honest, I’m still figuring out what to do and where I’m headed towards from here. I guess we all are, and we’ll figure it out along the way. Life has a funny way of giving you the things you deserve, when you least expect it.
In my first year of college, I never imagined to do the things I’ve done this year; being the President of The Mercurian Times, organizing its first two events and putting all my heart and soul into making it the best ones. It did pay off, and I came to realize it after our juniors organized the most heart-warming farewell for us. I can’t thank them enough for it. TMT will always be a huge part of my college journey and this is the time I’ve grown the most as a person.
All the members have played a very important role in making TMT an active and a successful society this year. Noting their thoughts down and turning it into beautifully- written pieces, they’ve not only inspired me, but also helped me polish my writing skills.
From speakers cancelling at the last moment, to finalizing speakers at the last moment; from working endlessly for months for that one day, to not knowing how time went by on that day; from scolding members to thanking them; from turning a dream into reality, it all fell into place and I couldn’t be more grateful!
In the coming year, I’m sure Evoon and Techocial will be a greater success as you all have learnt well from your accomplishments and mistakes. I hope TMT has contributed as much in your lives, as it has in mine. I am so proud of my team for constantly working with a great amount of enthusiasm, and never failing to meet my expectations. I’ll always be at your beck and call helping TMT, and supporting you all grow into the best versions of yourselves. I hope you all continue to work passionately and put your best foot forward in everything you do. Good luck to each one of you!
At last, it’s true that “The tassel’s worth the hassle.”
Akaanksha Makkad,
President,
The Mercurian Times,
Signing off

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT Shring Bring Sarvaling ,BhootBhavishyaVartamaanBadling! One can’t resist being driven away by the sense of nostalgia while being stumbled upon this mantra!  It was unarguably the era of entertainment .While a decade has passed on, Shararat, the fantasy sitcom spanning over 5 installments, definitely gives away every 90s’ kid a chance to brag about those good old days. Shararat revolves around the world of fairies and magic. What added to the delight in the mind of its viewers was the subtle comedy and the perfect comic timing. The Malhotra family involving a mischievous ‘nani’ with her impeccable magic chants, a docile mummy who has settled down with the menial jobs she has to perform as a typical housewife , and a naïve and vulnerable Jiya ,whose life has become miserable since the day she is wielded with magic powers, certainly Shararat was a visual treat. But the story had not been far  more convincing without the starry l...

SON PARI

Son pari Mumkin ko namumkin kar de Namumkin ko mumkin Son pari sab hal karti hain Sabki mushkil sab din. Whenever I used to hear this song I used to rush towards my television, because this was my favourite show - "SON PARI" Son Pari was basically a fantasy- adventure TV series. It is based on the story of a little girl name Fruity, who receives a magical gem that, when rubbed, summons a fairy named Son Pari and her friend Altu. Son Pari and Altu start meeting Fruity regularly and have many adventures. They help her get rid of Ruby, a woman who wants to marry Fruity's father, Rohit, for his money. Son Pari is also entitled to save Fruity from Kali Pari ( the main villain). Everyone wishes to have a fairy godmother like Son Pari at some point in their lives. A Pari ( angle) who can solve their problems with a spin of her wand. And this TV show was so famous and loved by everyone  because it used to take us to that fantasy world of angels and magic. This s...

INDIAN MAKEUP TRENDS OVER THE YEARS

From Saira Banu in Padosan, Sridevi in Chandini, Karishma Kapoor in Dil Toh Pagal Hai to our all time favourite Poo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum and Mili in Khoobsurat, the fashion and makeup trends have been all fancy and crazy yet so aesthetic and elegant and these leading ladies are surely 'Goals'.  One of the most significant shifts that  have been observed over the years in the beauty industry is the ultimate evolution of make-up trends varying from vibrant and vivid looks to nude face concepts. Makeup can not be talked about separately when it comes to beauty and fashion,it is an expressive(and perceived to be expensive by men) art, which has evolved immensely over the past century and has vividly been an integral part of our culture. But what have been the major stages of this evolution? Let us take a dive in the past and follow up to the time of the millennials.  THE ERA OF SIMPLICITY(1910) -There was hardly any makeup and plain sarees with little or no de...
