From Teacher to Writer: R.K. Narayan's Journey to Literary Success
Ricky Carippa, MBA, JAGSoM
Rasipuram Krishnaswami Iyer Narayanaswami, also known as R.K. Narayan, was an Indian writer best known for his works set in the fictional South Indian town of Malgudi. He died on May 13, 2001. He was a well-known English author of early Indian literature.

Narayan received numerous awards and honors during his sixty-year career, including the AC Benson Medal from the Royal Society of Literature, the Padma Vibhushan and Padma Bhushan, India's second and third highest civilian awards, and the Sahitya Academy Fellowship, India's national academy of letters' highest honor, in 1994. He was also elected to the Rajya Sabha, the Indian Parliament's upper house.
After being persuaded by a friend that taking a master's degree (M.A.) would kill his interest in literature, he briefly held a job as a school teacher; however, he quit in protest when the headmaster of the school asked him to substitute for the physical training master. The experience made Narayan realize that the only career for him was in writing, and he decided to stay at home and write novels.
Narayan's greatest achievement was making India accessible to the outside world through his literature. He created the imaginary town of Malgudi, where realistic characters in a typically Indian setting lived amid unpredictable events. Narayan‟s characteristic values such as confidence and archetypal presentation of real characters with keen attachment to nature, unique writing style, and his universal approach to Indianness make every one of his novels a masterpiece.

Music Education In India
Music brings out the best in you. Music is a part of everyday life for most of us, ranging from passive listening to active music-making. While a select few pursue music professionally to build highly rewarding careers, the majority simply continues to enjoy the social, cognitive, and therapeutic benefits of music.

Studies have shown that individuals with consistent involvement in instrumental music demonstrate significantly higher levels of mathematics proficiency (U.S. DoE NELLS88 DB). Music education has also contributed to improved average SAT scores (Arts Education Partnership, 2011). This is further supported by studies that show improved attendance and graduation rates of 93.9% and 90.2% respectively in US schools with music programs, as compared to an average of 84.9% and 72.9% in those without music programs. Further, music plays an important role in social bonding, particularly when learners engage in group activities such as playing in a band. Sustained collaborative music learning makes learners happy and relaxed and improves their communication skills and confidence in a variety of social situations. It also leads to increased positive emotional experience while coping with social and professional pressure and fosters important traits such as tolerance and acceptance of peers from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. Students from all walks of life should have the opportunity to learn music and engage in some form of meaningful music-making to help nurture their creative and prosocial skills.

Shot on Campus
Jyoti Shinde, BBA, JAGSoM
As a university situated in a very scenic spot, surrounded by a gorgeous landscape, it is a no-brainer to have a photography competition during the most photogenic time of the year, the monsoons.
In the event, students had a time of one and a half hour to go around campus and click pictures with anyone or anything as their subjects. After the time elapsed, the pictures would be sent to the judge who would then crown the winner.
Students participated enthusiastically, going around campus and clicking pictures with their phones. At the end of the time, the winners were decided and were crowned the ‘Best Photographer’, a title that might be challenged soon.

What form of transportation can I use to get to a nearby market?
|
|
|
| |
Sagar Urs G, MBA, JAGSoM
There are several modes of transportation to go to the nearby markets from Vijaybhoomi university.
You can opt for autos or cabs that often go to and fro from campus to other destinations. Their prices are higher but you can reach the destination faster. Otherwise, you can take the bus that plies at fixed timings throughout the day. The bus is very affordable but it takes time to reach Kashele or Kadav (two of the closest large markets).
There is also the option of carpooling in the university transport vehicle which plies to and fro Karjat at a few specified time slots during the work day.
