Clarion - the proverbial trumpet, denotes a call

to rise beyond obscurity, beyond lethargy, be-

yond egos, and to submit oneself to the path of

action

Te other elements in the cover page stands for

the three basic ideals of this Wall magazine,

viz.

to let you know us

to let you know others,

and most importantly -

to let you know yourself



To be frank, I don’t know how to put things down in fancy words. So,

I’m making a humble attempt here, to bring to you the gist of what

I want to say. As rightly mentioned by Mr. Suresh in the academic

section, this is the rst time in last 10 years of AIIMS that all executive

members of the Students Union have been elected unequivocally. We are

extremely thankful to all of you for showing this immense trust in us. We

assure you that each one of us will try our best to live up to your expectations

and to fulll the responsibilities entrusted to us.

I’m proud, and at the same time lucky, to have with me a team of

dedicated executive members who are not only fully aware of their duties

but are also willing to dedicate themselves for the betterment of our college.

I ensure you that the SU will be accessible to each one of you at any time

you wish through multiple portals like facebook, mobile phones etc. So

please feel free to approach us with any of your grievances, small or big,

anytime - because if anything bothers you, it bothers us too.

As we didn’t get a chance to present our manifestos before you, I would

like to summarize the goals we have set for ourselves. Our main concern is

to focus on the PG reservation issue and try to make a nal settlement for

the same which has been eating our heads off for quite a long time. Another

important concern is to improve the quality of facilities which are made

available for us in the hostels. Particular effort will be made to enrich our

campus life experiences by ensuring the participation of our college in the

various extra-curricular activities outside the campus as well.

“Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates

action”-as said by Frank Tibolt -can’t be put into better words. So, I don’t

nd any point in plunging deeper into the ner details of each and everything.

Rather we will let our actions speak for us.

Integrity, initiative and intelligence are the three pillars which support

our SU. Our collage is blissfully overladen with diversity. Each one of us

carries with us a different avor. But, in spite of everything, one thing unites

us all – AIIMS, our alma mater. So, let’s join our hands to leave the fourth

‘I’- individual - behind us and work together to take our college to greater

heights.

Yours truly,Tungish Bansal

President, SU, AIIMS



O

ne year has gone past since a Students Union headed by myself came

into power. It was a feeling of relief and utmost happiness when we won

the nerve cracking Students Union elections after tough ghts and all

the internal politics - an experience that is literally matchless. Soon after, we re-alized that with power comes responsibility. I felt proud and really happy to be in

the executive body of SU, AIIMS and it indeed was a great working opportunity

as well as a learning experience. It really improved my organizational skills and

my role as a team player. Things work out well and good if you got a good team.

I was lucky that I had one. Whatever I have achieved, is least because of my skills

– but because of the unfailing support from my team. I really enjoyed attending

the institute meetings and discussions . It was pure fun !!!!.

Starting from Saraswati Puja to Infest and to Pulse 2011 - the biggest med-ico festival, it indeed was worth it. Organizing Pulse 2011 was really a great ex-

perience. I am happy that our team made good decisions regarding PULSE 2011

that made it a huge success. The lessons we learned just can’t be put into words.

I am really feeling happy that we solved the electricity crisis at AIIMS, Dr. She-

joy’s case and many more with the constant support and guidance of AIIMS RDA

.Working with great leaders like Dr. Debjyoti, Dr. Sushant and the rest was really

inspiring.

I would like to make use of this opportunity to express my gratitude to allthose who helped me during my term as President, SU - all my seniors for their

constant support and guidance & all my juniors who helped in implementing the

dreams and plans of our executive. I quite understand that I have not been able

to satisfy every person. To them I apologize unconditionally for falling short of

their expectations. What you must understand is that I have tried my level best

for the same.

It was a period of power , authority and big responsibility. Even though I

had tough times during my tenure, I found it a wonderful l learning experience.Last year was really the most eventful year of my life . It helped me in improv-

ing my leadership and management skills and made me a more condent and

competent person. I am feeling satised and relived for the fact that I was able

to maintain the dignity of the post. Time ies very fast – I realize that I am now

the ex-President. I wish all the very best to my juniors in the executive of AIIMS.

To the UGs, show the AIIMSONIAN spirit, support them, provide for them, and

help them in their efforts so that we can make AIIMS a better place. Jai Hind.

ex-President, SU, AIIMS



You could smell the change in the air – the

unmistakable rejuvenating eeling – and that is when

you know that the spring is around. rees had started

shedding o leaves – and on our part, we had started

getting rid o those extra skins that made our survival

possible through the demanding winter. Basant Pan-

chami marking the start o the spring, and having itsmythological roots as being the day Goddess Saraswati

was born – is quite an occasion i you are in the prem-

ises o the one and only AIIMS

Earlier, January had started with much

pomp and many events in line - P wave treat, Lodhi,

Return reshers, the elections that never happened and

a heap o un stus. While we were actually planning to

take a break rom the exhaustion caused by recurrent

episodes o celebration, words about upcoming Saras-

wati Pooja started buzzing around. It brought waves o thoughts, and naturally the next step was to pester our

beloved seniors or the extra bit o inormation. Tat

was ollowed by a urry o activity – our platoon o

acchis were asked to perorm the Saraswati Vandana.

Clueless as always – we began our search or a suitable

song, a suitable costume – not to mention the suitable

dancers. Dance practice , trust me, is a nice thing to

see. Huh, I have had my share o horriying experi-

ences in my lie, but when my riends asked me to stepinto the dance team as Krishna, all o them appeared

to be mere joke. Tey being in no mood to concede – I

gave in. For someone with a pathological stage right,

it was something o death-deying-stunt scale.

And it was not just the dance practice,

the collection o “chanda” - going door to door as little

gangs, some award winning perormances which can

act as tutorials to upcoming sales-girls, and attempts

to be the one to return with maximum collection – i

all these won’t count as un, I don’t know whether any-thing else would.

- Y. K. Sudha Singh



And when the day in question dawned, rec room

was literally unrecognisable – thanks to Srishti, Preeti and

the rest. But seniors – you have to give it to them – never

alls short in jobs to be handed out to acchis – ruits, gar-lands and a handul were dutiully set aside or us. People

came in, Priest came in, and Pooja added a dimension o

serenity to the celebration.

Evening, it was even more eventul. Te rush at

the proverbial 11th hour, the reaking out and all the rest

o classic characteristics o an exam day answered their

attendance call. My stomach did some nimble somer-

saults as I walked to put in my part o the show. Prayed

or tonnes o knowledge – without having to read much o

course, and then we started with the cultural programs.

Not every other day you get to meet a true artist –

but on that day we met one truly blessed. Mrs. Kavita Vani

with her sitar, took our hearts with her when she lef the

stage. Amanda, Meghal and Harsimar perormed pure

joy in the name o Bharatnatyam. Dr. Dinu ollowed up

with quite a perormance, our own Katara with praises o

Lord Krishna, and in the end, our dance. I survived – that

is the bottom line o the last program.

All celebrations are occasions o joy, but very ew,like this – leaves us happy and peaceul.

I gaze ahead, I’m blinded,Reality, the clawed hands of villains

Creep towards, blurring perceptionI cower, I close my eyes,

Let myself be taken

I see memories, I see lifeDays I breathed free

Colours vibrant, thoughts bright, the will to love and live,

sewn in tight. A visionary of the future,

Alas, now, the past I crave.

I close my eyes,and evade life now,elope into dreams,elope into light.

Yet Clawing inside,

My cobweb of responsibilitiesRelationships, the likes, the life

Open, she says, my conscienceTake your strides

I step weakly and she gives me hopea helping hand , a little push

and back.. into the world of deceptioninto life as we know it,and yet in solitude I crave,

Just to close my eyes

as I close my eyes..Shruthi R
