o be frank, I dont know how to put things down in fancy words. So, Im 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 first 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 fulfill the responsibilities entrusted to us. Im 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 didnt 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 final 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 -cant be put into better words. So, I dont find any point in plunging deeper into the finer 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 flavor. But, in spite of everything, one thing unites us all AIIMS, our alma mater. So, lets 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

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 fights and all the internal politics - an experience that is literally matchless. Soon after, we realized 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 medico festival, it indeed was worth it. Organizing Pulse 2011 was really a great experience. I am happy that our team made good decisions regarding PULSE 2011 that made it a huge success. The lessons we learned just cant be put into words. I am really feeling happy that we solved the electricity crisis at AIIMS, Dr. Shejoys 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 all those 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 improving my leadership and management skills and made me a more confident and competent person. I am feeling satisfied and relived for the fact that I was able to maintain the dignity of the post. Time flies 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. John George ex-President, SU, AIIMS

You could smell the change in the air the unmistakable rejuvenating feeling and that is when you know that the spring is around. Trees had started shedding off leaves and on our part, we had started getting rid of those extra skins that made our survival possible through the demanding winter. Basant Panchami marking the start of the spring, and having its mythological roots as being the day Goddess Saraswati was born is quite an occasion if you are in the premises of the one and only AIIMS Earlier, January had started with much pomp and many events in line - P wave treat, Lodhi, Return freshers, the elections that never happened and a heap of fun stuffs. While we were actually planning to take a break from the exhaustion caused by recurrent episodes of celebration, words about upcoming Saraswati Pooja started buzzing around. It brought waves of thoughts, and naturally the next step was to pester our beloved seniors for the extra bit of information. That

Y. K. Sudha Singh
was followed by a flurry of activity our platoon of facchis were asked to perform the Saraswati Vandana. Clueless as always we began our search for 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 of horrifying experiences in my life, but when my friends asked me to step into the dance team as Krishna, all of them appeared to be mere joke. They being in no mood to concede I gave in. For someone with a pathological stage fright, it was something of death-defying-stunt scale. And it was not just the dance practice, the collection of chanda - going door to door as little gangs, some award winning performances which can act as tutorials to upcoming sales-girls, and attempts to be the one to return with maximum collection if all these wont count as fun, I dont know whether anything else would.

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 falls short in jobs to be handed out to facchis fruits, garlands and a handful were dutifully set aside for us. People came in, Priest came in, and Pooja added a dimension of serenity to the celebration. Evening, it was even more eventful. The rush at the proverbial 11th hour, the freaking out and all the rest of classic characteristics of an exam day answered their attendance call. My stomach did some nimble somersaults as I walked to put in my part of the show. Prayed for tonnes of knowledge without having to read much of 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 left the stage. Amanda, Meghal and Harsimar performed pure joy in the name of Bharatnatyam. Dr. Dinu followed up with quite a performance, our own Katara with praises of Lord Krishna, and in the end, our dance. I survived that is the bottom line of the last program. All celebrations are occasions of joy, but very few, like this leaves us happy and peaceful.

as I close my eyes..

Shruthi R 6th sem

I gaze ahead, Im blinded, Reality, the clawed hands of villains Creep towards, blurring perception I cower, I close my eyes, Let myself be taken I see memories, I see life Days 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 responsibilities Relationships, the likes, the life Open, she says, my conscience Take your strides I step weakly and she gives me hope a helping hand , a little push and back.. into the world of deception into life as we know it, and yet in solitude I crave, Just to close my eyes
