Bestest Part Of My Life Neither the sun nor the rain Can understand my pain The feelings that I have Are so much true That even God can’t point them Because I only loved you Say it a passion or a hobby To care for you is my first priority I don’t know about others As for me they are minority I don’t compare you with moon As it’s far away I want you to live in my heart That’s the best place where you can stay I promise Your lips will never get down Your smile will never fade You will be in my arms I will protect you in my shade All I need is you As good people in my life are few When you stand by my side I really feel the pride To say that You are the bestest part of my life… By: Raman Thukral, B.Tech ( CSE ),

Representing Development: Photo Competition In February 2013, a photography competition was held as part of a one day interdisciplinary conference on ‘Representing Development: The process and role of informalisation’ organised by the Galgotias University’s School of Business and School of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. The conference raised some important issues regarding the idea of development with respect to the informal space of our economy. The students sent in their best photographs that captured the informal space comprising of the people who surround us in our day to day life. People who migrate from their hometowns and villages in search of livelihood and settle in urban areas like street vendors are the ones who constitute the informal sector. Their pictures captured the highs and lows, trials and tribulations of lives in the cities and also highlighted the contradictions between migration and displacement. The best photographs were displayed in the foyer near the Block A cafeteria where visitors gave their feedback and words of encouragement to the participants. Photographs by Achyut Misra, Akanksha Bisht and Kantinath Banerjee were judged as the top four photos by the judges. Here are a few glimpses (pic below).
