The institute celebrated the Golden Marriage Anniversary of its first couple, The Chairman, NIST, Shri.

Surendra Mudali and Smt. Janaki Mudali on 12th March 2011 in the institute premises. All the faculty

members and staff, being present on the occasion, congratulated the couple and wished for their long conjugal

life and all happiness. Being quite emotional and nostalgic, Prof. Sangram Mudali, Director and son to Mrs. & Mr.

Surendra Mudali, presented a video on the life of these two very beautiful people and shared his beautiful unforgettable

moments with them. Ms. Geetika Mudali, Placement Director and daughter-in-law of the Mudali family also expressed

her heartfelt emotional experiences with such nice, supportive and loving in-laws and was overwhelmed with joy and

happiness. Mr. Surendra Mudali, cherishing the journey so far, felt nostalgic of his early life, his marriage, and his

family afterwards. He narrated his life’s struggles, his fight for the poor and downtrodden, his passion for doing

something towards the upliftment of the neglected section of the society and more importantly the strength and

support provided by his spouse in

pursuing his passion. The couple

were garlanded with lot of good

wishes from all around. The newly

married couples of NIST family were

also congratulated on the occasion.

Arrangement of musical band added

flavor to the grand celebration which

ended with a very sumptuous

dinner.

Life flows like an unbridled river

Events pose a grand parade

It’s all of a single piece

Despite many a shade.

On the anvil of flesh and bone

They’ve played Man & Ruth

With all but a single faith

They’ve hammered the Truth.

“

”- E . Raja Rao

From the Director’s Desk

On March 25th, 2011, the Bhubaneswar Chapter of The Indus Enterpreneur (TiE)

was inaugurated by none other than entrepreneurship personified: Sam Pitroda.

Sam Pitroda was born in Titlagarh and did his initial schooling in Odisha. How he

went on to create the Telecom Revolution and CDOT is the stuff of dreams. Anyway, the

point that he and other speakers made was innovation has to be need based and not

necessarily hi-tech or elite. There is wealth for the entrepreneur at the bottom of the pyramid

and agriculture, horticulture, medical care, mass education are the new challenge areas.

TiE is a platform to learn, network and for mentorship. As a charter member of TiE, Odisha,

I hope to get implementable ideas for possible mentoring from our students and others.

I congratulate the large number of students who have been fairly successful in the GATE examinations. However

much remains to be done since IITs/IISc need top scores. Similarly I encourage students to apply for MS/PhD

in top foreign Universities. India’s technology revolution will be led by knowledge leaders armed with top degrees

and global ambitions. NISTians should plan to be the early movers in the coming decade. How about a GRE/

GMAT Club?

The country passed through a tumultuous 5 days as Gandhian Anna Hazare sat down to prove a point. Suddenly

the middle class got its hero and its voice which was long suppressed. Arvind Kejriwal – a fellow engineer from

IIT/KGP (1989 batch) and the recipient of the Ramon Magsaysay award, deserves kudos for making the Jan

Lokpal Bill a possible reality. The movement has cut across all caste, creed, religions, regions, languages, and we

had seen nothing like this before. May it herald a new change in social consciousness among the student community

and may the idealism sweep away the cobwebs of the last 60 years of mis-governance of our country. Can our

youth put behind its paranoid (crazy) fascination with cricket and Bollywood and focus on the mammoth social,

economic and political problems of our country?

With Best Wishes,

15 April 2011 Sangram Mudali

From the Editors’ Desk

For some time now, the importance of ‘Certification Programs’ at both school and college levels has been

debated upon. With increasing competition for employability, certifications enable the recruiter to trace

out the candidate’s professional ability, through a very competent way. Our Institute ,on realizing the need

of the hour, initiates and promotes different trainings and certification programs, on both technical and soft skills

areas. The on-going summer training programs on varied technical domains, the large number of students being

certified under University of Cambridge -BEC Program, and the English Reading Revolution (ERR) sessions

promoting vocabulary enhancement and newspaper & novel reading, have definitely instilled much confidence

and vigor among the students to emerge as winners.

Around 150 NIST students, having scored 9.0 and above in the University Exam’s final CGPA, have set up a

challenge before the rest. Similarly the 6 NISTians among the top 10 winners of the IT Olympiad have made us

proud. With more placement successes for B. Tech., MCA, MBA and PGDM students NIST is all set for an

exciting time ahead.

The whole human race was submerged in the ocean of despair & sorrow, as nature showed its

harsh face to the island country, Japan, where a mammoth earthquake rocked several parts of

the country thereby igniting a vicious tsunami wiping off many parts of it permanently from the map, drowned

several thousands of people and also triggered a nuclear emergency in the country with fuel leaking out of 2 nuclear

reactors in Fukushima, an imminent danger with everlasting effect. In another event of growing political turbulence in

the world, clouds of uncertainty surrounded the Muslim dominated country of Libya, where Muanmar Gaddafi’s 41

years of tyranny came to a tragic end after voices of protests became louder but gave rise to a civil war between the

protesters and supporters with several European powerhouses being involved in the fight. Similar situation surfaced in


Syria leading to the ouster of the president Bashar Al Asad after 11 years of rule. Adding more fuel to the ongoing

violence, inter-communal war broke out in the African country, Ivory Coast, after the country’s former rebels pressed

an offensive to oust Laurent Gbagbo, leading to death of around 800 people. On the national forefront, the Supreme

Court gave a remarkable decision by approving the passive form of Euthanasia in which a person in passive state for

a long period of time can be relieved of the painful life after the consent of family members, friends and two specialized

doctors. Justice was affirmed to the victims of Godhra massacre, in which around 59 people were charred to death in

the Sabarmati Express, thereby igniting communal riots across Gujarat, with the trial court awarding death sentence

to 11 of the accused and sentencing 25 others with life imprisonment. Scams now being an integral part of current

affairs, moved one step ahead when the Pune stud farm owner, Hasan Ali Khan, was nabbed by CBI for having

involvement in severe money laundering activities. With more obstacles in the path, the ruling govt. came under

intense pressure with the Wiki-leaks revelation of involvement of several Congress MP’s in horse-trading to gather

support for N-deal with USA. A serious laxity was highlighted when DGCA found out the involvement of several top

officials, pilots and flying schools in the forgery behind securing of licenses by paying money. Political fever grips the

whole nation with imminent assembly elections to be held in 4 major states namely West Bengal, Kerala, TamilNadu

& Assam. As a result of severe wildlife protection measures, count of tigers has increased as compared to previous

records. To much happiness of the state residents, Orissa will be hereafter called “ODISHA” & the Oriya language will

be known as “ODIA”. Census, 2011, brought bad tidings for the girl child in Odisha as it was marked with significant

drop in girl child ratio from 953 (against 1000 boys) to 934 in 2011. As an example of eternal sin, the Emar Mutt’s

seer(mahant) along with 8 other have been accused of criminal breach of trust by misappropriating the mutt’s property.

Moving to the business world, the govt. introduced a nationwide Goods & Service Tax (GST) bill in Parliament but

opposition threatened to derail the most ambitious reform of its second term. Indian paper producer BILT paper plc

has planned to raise at least 330 million$ from initial public offering to fund its expansion & pay down debt. Essar

group has readied its 10.97% stake in telecom joint venture Vodafone Essar for a possible sale after prepayment of

non-convertible debentures worth Rs. 4320 crore raised on the same shares. The sports world witnessed one of the

finest fantasies coming true with INDIA winning the ICC WORLD CUP 2011 thus ending the drought after 28 years.

Hearty and sincere thanks to the WINCREDIBLE Indian cricket team.

Cynosure of all EyesMs. Neena Choudhary, B. Tech., 6th Sem., Team e_news

Hello Readers! Cricket World Cup 2011 had won over all hearts and minds. I know that Newsdeskand Sportscast has already given you all memories you wanted to recollect, but then even Icould not stop myself from writing anything else apart Cricket. I still get Goosebumps remembering the

last six hit by the captain and I know so do you.

Just Imagine!! The whole country was roaring for the World Cup. Dhak Dhak Go! India Go! It had been a remarkablecricketing month and will be remembered for ages to come. The win over all previous World Champions to win theWorld Cup was marvelous. Emotions won’t stop flowing and I have to very wisely use this column, as I say tobring around a possible change. The World Cup in the sub-continent not only gave us the precious memoriesbut has also taught us a lesson. You remember how all hearts beat for one Cup, all prayers towards one achievementand every single tear when Sachin, Yuvi and Bhajji cried? We have the power to do it with one force and thepower lies within us. We have proved that we can together create an impact and then there will be no oneto impede us (neither Mr. Raj Thackerey, nor the terrorists who have dared to attack us time and again)from taking the nation to great heights. See, “United we stand, divided we fall”. No sooner was the World Cup overthat we again proved the maxim to be correct. It was imposing to see how the whole nation stood in support ofGandhian Anna Hazare. And what I believe the major reason for such public arousing was the just concluded WorldCup celebrations which gave the whole nation a platform to share their sentiments, opinion, hopes and the tears of joy.Do you know that India would have never seen the Mumbai riots, the Godhra Carnage, and the mayhem over BabriMasjid if we stood unified? There are people not only outside the nation but many within the nation who wait for suchopportunities only to get a political seat and then fill up their pockets. The time is not to support or go againstHindutva, instead it is high time to get together and raise issues which have been bulldozing our countrysince years. Whoa! This sounds too much, but then if a 75 year old man can, then why not you and me. How many


of us know what Anna Hazare stood up for? Have you heard of the Lokpal Bill? We have adequate time to gossipabout various useless self-framed topics but then never sit down to discuss the actual issues affecting millions. All ofus cannot become the world’s best engineers but we will not require any criteria to become a responsible citizen. 26/11 Mumbai attack reminds us of the courage with which every Indian fought and the sacrifices we made to renderpeace.

We just haven’t realized how the power of unity can bring a change around us. If we take up all the issues ofconcern the way we did it for cricket, there will be so much vigor to wipe out all the problems of ourcountry. Speak Strike and Redress!

Yes you have finally arrived at the right page. It’s time to throttle the tedium out of your hecticschedules and enjoy the fresh breath. It’s time to realize Nature’s opus- the sweet chirping of the sparrowsand the rustling of breeze, the dawn of dusk (mixing words…advertising for Reliance Mobile?) and the

mighty blues…(Bleed Blue!!!) . It’s time… let’s cut the chase. Its time you listened to SAT.

When SAT sat down (SAT sat down… interesting) to enlighten you this month, SAT got confused (yeah...it canhappen to the greatest of the minds) on what to talk. The editors of this magazine always want SAT to write about thecollege happenings but SAT couldn’t find anything this time (as SAT already told you about SAT’s off day) and wason the verge of losing all hope (just like you were when SACHIN ‘GOD’ TENDULKAR went back to the pavilionmoments after SEHWAG) until that day (there’s always a silver lining) …

It was 8th of March. SAT saw a queue outside the book store in TECH MALL (it’s that building which houses SAGARXEROX & SHREE BOOK STORE…don’t ask SAT where is the ‘TECH’ and where is the ‘MALL’ in it). It was hot andhumid and then a wave of fresh air came about in the form of a girl. She asked very politely if she could get ahead ofall the X chromosomes standing there and get her books xeroxed and yes the mindless gaping creatures obliged.Behold…its International Women’s Day. A coterie of people sitting in warm cozy chairs decided it’s time to havea day for the Eves and show the world that they are developing and shining (just like INDIA Shining…SAT hopesyou got the irony) and hence a day was allocated for the better halves.

8th of March- the world celebrates the fairer sex…fairer??? Yes the three question marks are deliberately put. (If youthought SAT was going to make a speech on womanhood, well dear friend you are wrong.) Is getting ahead in aqueue where men have been standing for hours fair? (It’s a rhetorical question, you don’t have to answer) Don’t youhate it when a girl gets ahead of you and gets the last available tickets of your favorite movie? (Didn’t SAT just toldyou…it’s a rhetorical question, you don’t have to shout out the answer) How often do you have to get up in a bus ortrain so that the pretty lady there can be seated? (There you go again…)Don’t you despise the fact that you have tocarry around the entire luggage whenever you are traveling? And how often have you to pay the bill just because youdon’t put a lipstick or a suns crème or mascara…the list can go on and on and on… To end this grave injustice to thetall, dark and handsome, SAT would like to propose a day for the anger amongst peace, for the greed amongstsacrifice, for the ruthless amongst love, for the problem amongst solution. How about an INTERNATIONAL MEN’sDAY on the 30th of FEBRUARY because that’s how the dark and handsome had turned dark to the women in their lifefor the past thousands of years- oblivious to their needs and butchers of their desires. Let the men have a taste oftheir own crude medicine and don’t you worry, the perks of a separate queue will still be there…this time it will be youstanding there.

Ok then, the clock has come full circle and it’s time to depart as SAT has to go and carry vegetables back home forthe lovely neighbor next door. Until next time think about the proposal and let SAT know what you think of it. Adieu.

<<PS. An Interesting trivia: SAT has mentioned SAT 18 times in this preaching of SAT in SAT SAYS…oops thereyou go again, its 20 now!!! And the count would come to 22 if you consider the below para>>

<< SAT would like to thank SWAMI for lending his laptop for writing this article. He can be a pain in the neck

sometimes but he did lend his spouse (the lappy) this time. If SAT is missing someone to thank …well appreciate

this article and then maybe …let’s see. And do keep mailing all your constructive feedback aka ‘abuses’ to

SAT SAYS: International Men’s day

Mr. Kewal Krishna, B. Tech., 6th Sem., Team e_news


SportscastMr. Naquib Akhtar, B. Tech., 6 th Sem., Team e_news

Once upon a time there were the Men In Black who saved the world from being conquered; andthen came the Men In Blue who conquered it. “Bleed Blue” that was the atmosphere all aroundthis month as Team India lifted the world cup after a gap of 28 years. So this edition would only concentrate

on the path taken by the Indian team towards the biggest glory in world cricket. Being pitted in group B against SouthAfrica, England, West Indies, Bangladesh, Ireland and Netherland India finished second in the group stages behindthe Proteas, after loosing the match against them and drawing the one against England in a nail biting thriller. In thequarterfinals ‘Captains Cool’s’ boys faced four time champions and their biggest threat to the cup Australia at Motera.And it was in this match that the bowlers came to the fore by putting up a spirited performance and silencing theircritics. India defeated the Aussie comfortably despite skipper Ponting’s fighting century. Ponting later had to relinquishhis post in favour

India’s semifinal was the talking point of the tournament. Dubbed as the ‘match of the century ’India faced arch rivalsPakistan at Mohali. Pakistan were set a target of 260 who were playing on India soil for the first time since 2007.Inreply Afridi’s men could not overhaul the target and lost the match by India met Sri Lanka in the finals at theWankhede Stadium who had earlier defeated New Zealand to reach their second successive final. Batting first SriLanka made a shaky start but eventually managed 274 thanks to brilliant century by Mahela Jayawardene. Indiamade a disastrous start with Sehwag and ‘the god’ Tendulkar departing in quick succession early in the innings. Butthe ship was steadied by Gautam Gambhir and captain Dhoni who played a gem of an innings by scoring 91 andbringing up the winning runs by hitting a huge six. Yuvraj Singh was adjudged the ‘player of the tournament’ for hisoutstanding performance both with the bat and ball. Dilshan was the top scorer while Afridi and Zaheer topped thewicket charts with 21 wkts each. In post world cup news coach Gary Kirsten bid adieu to the Indian team after threeyears at the helm.

At last coming over to other sports. In the EPL Manchester United continue to lead the league table followed byArsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City. Chelsea have had a good comeback after their string of poor performancesand even defeated ManU 2-1 at Stamford Bridge. Both of them even face off in the Champions League quarterfinalbeginning in early April.

Waves 2010

To drench NIST in the colors of competitiveness, fun and frolic, WAVES 2010, the intra

collegiate fest of our college, was organized on the 18th and 19th of March 2011. This much

awaited fest was inaugurated by Ms. Geetika Mudali, Placement Director along with Prof. Sangram

Mudali, Director, Dr. Arun Kumar Padhy, Course Coordinator, B. Tech. program.

The celebrations started with a series of sports events which included Basketball matches, volleyball

match (student vs. Faculty), swimming, lawn tennis etc. The evening was splashed with the spirit of

enjoyment as students took to the stage showcasing their varied talents in the field of music, dance and

acting. Our very own band NMS brought the audience to their feet as they belted out one mellifluous

number after another.

The second morning was dedicated to various stage events like antakshari, dumb charades, Quiz and

the “Faculty student event “organized by club Innova. However, off the stage was not less interesting. The

Dog Show was no way less thrilling and exhilarating than any other shows. The stunts shown by the

rarest of breeds of dogs with the help of the trainers were really breath stopping. The series of events

provided another liberal dose of fun to the proceedings as both the students and the faculties came

together to make the events a success.

The evening of the 19th commenced with the felicitation of the toppers for the 2010 pass out batch with

Gold and Silver medals been awarded to them. This was followed by several performances by students

showcasing the plethora of talent that is hidden inside all NISTians. From breathtaking dance moves to

soulful renditions to hilarious mimicries and amazing acting skills, the student community took the stage

by storm.

However the show stopper like any other year was the performance by our faculty members. This time

our faculty members in their own inimitable style did something different from the usual by staging a skit

revolving around the theme of life at NIST. The wonderful play won the hearts of all present and the

applause just did not stop. The celebrations were capped by a fashion show by the students titled “Phases

of Life” which put on display the various facets, emotions and stages that life takes an individual through.

The celebrations came to an end with the singing of the national anthem.
