Sir Syed Ahmed Khan (1817-1898)was a
great visionary, educationalist, politician,
and Muslim reformer of the 19th century,
the like of whom is rare. He wanted to
make the community and country pro-
gressive and took them forward on mod-
ern lines. His supreme interest was intel-
lectual development of the people through
modern education. He was the first Indian
Muslim to contribute to the intellectual
and institutional foundation of Muslim
modernization in Southern Asia. Interest
of community and country was dearer to
him rather than anything else. He was
successful in making the Muslims under-
stand the importance of modern educa-
tion and endeavour their best to achieve it
in order to stand firmly on their own and
live a dignified life in accordance with Is-
lamic thoughts.
To the Muslim community Sir Syed Ah-
med Khan was and is like “the eye which
weeps for the suffering of any and every
part of the body”. The sufferings of the
community worried him. He took an oath
to reform, educate and empower the Mus-
lim community and was successful to a
great extent in implementing that despite
strong opposition from a section of the
Muslim community which hated the Brit-
ish and their language.
In more than one ways Sir Syed was one
of the greatest social reformers and a
great national builder of modern India. He
prepared the road map for the formation
of a Muslim University by starting vari-
ous schools. He instituted Scientific Soci-
ety in 1863 to create a scientific tempera-
ment among the Muslims and to make
the Western knowledge available to Indi-
ans in their mother tongue. The Aligarh
Institute Gazette, an organ of the Scien-
tific Society was started in March 1866
and succeeded in transforming the
minds of the traditional Muslim Society.
In 1875, Sir Syed founded the Madarsat-
ul Uloom in Aligarh and patterned “the
MAO (Mohammedan Anglo Oriental) Col-
lege” after Oxford and Cambridge univer-
sities, which subsequently rose to the
status of Aligarh Muslim University
(AMU) in 1920. His objective was to build
a college in tune with the British education
system but without compromising its Islamic
values. He wanted this College to act as a
bridge between the old and the new, the East
and the West.
The aim of Sir Syed was not merely restricted
to establishing a college at Aligarh but at
spreading a network of Muslim managed edu-
cational institutions throughout the length
and breadth of the country. Keeping this in
view, he instituted All India Muslim Educa-
tional Conference in 1886 that revived the
spirit of Muslims at national level. The Aligarh
Movement motivated the Muslims to help
open a number of educational institutions. It
was the first of its kind of such Muslim NGO
in India, which awakened the Muslims from
their deep slumber and infused in them the
social and political awareness.
Sir Syed said and believed that.
“We (Hindus and Muslims) eat the same crop,
drink water from the same rivers and breathe
the same air. As a matter of fact Hindus and
Muslims are the two eyes of the beautiful bride
that is Hindustan. Weakness of any one of
them will spoil the beauty of the bride
(dulhan)”.
Today we can see the products of the Aligarh
Muslim University adoring in every field of
activity. They have earned a name for the
community and country, thanks to the Ali-
garh movement & Sir Syed Ahmed khan.

AMU STUDENT BRANCH
Alumni Interview Sumit Sharma, an alumnus of our college is
the pass out of 2010 electronics engineering batch.
He got placed in Accenture from campus placement
but left the job after 3 months since he found that
he is not intending to do that job. Then he joined
M.Tech. at AMU and started preparations for PSU‟s
exams. He also applied for INDIAN ARMY via Tech-
nical Graduate Scheme. He got selected there after
qualifying SSB (comprising of 14 tests) and inter-
view. Now after 2 years, he is posted in Arunachal
Pradesh with the designation of „Captain‟.
Recently, he came to campus to meet his teachers.
He also talked to „The MIRROR‟ team and told us
about his pre and post college experiences. He said,
“I had never thought of joining Indian Army during
my college days.” Also, he said he was an average
student as far as studies were concerned. But he
always did what he liked to do. That‟s why at pre-
sent he is not just successful, he is very happy also
to be at the place that he achieved.
About his experiences at
Indian Army, he said that
his life has changed since he has joined the Indian
Army. In the beginning, it was very difficult for
him to adjust but with time he got used to the ar-
my lifestyle and at present he is enjoying to be the
part of it. He also told us about his future plans
and said he is preparing for IPS exams where
some seats are reserved for army officials.
He advised the students to never get fascinated by
what others do, listen to yourself what you want to
be and also never take anything very lightly. Try
and achieve something rather than simply talking
about it. For those students who were interested
in joining the INDIAN ARMY, “Come and join INDI-
AN ARMY; you will get everything that you want in
your life,” he said. “You will experience the royal
lifestyle here and most importantly discipline will
be embedded in your life which will help you
throughout your life.”
About Indian Defence Services Examinations
Indian Defence Services offer dignified,
prestigious, and lucrative career opportuni-
ties. As a part of the Indian defence services. One
can serve in the Army, Air Force or Navy, on com-
bat duty, on administrative assignments, in
the medical services, engineering services, in the
JAG‟s Department, or in the education corps.
The nature of responsibilities varies with the di-
verse range of activities in the defence services.
The recruitment to the Armed Forces is voluntary
and every citizen of India, irrespective of his caste,
class, religion and community, is eligible
for recruitment into the Armed Forces, provided he
meets the laid down physical, medical and educa-
tional criteria.
There is "Combined Defence Services" Examina-
tion that is conducted twice a year by the
Union Public Service Commission for recruitment
into the Indian Military Academy, Officers Training
Academy, Naval Academy and Air Force Academy.
The Notification for the examination is usually
released in the months of October and June, and
the examinations are conducted in February and
November respectively. Only unmarried graduates
are eligible to sit for the exam. Candidates suc-
cessful in the written exam are then called for an
interview by a Services Selection Board which
evaluates a candidate's suitability for a career in
the Indian Armed Forces. The SSB interview lasts
for approximately a week, during which a candi-
date undergoes various physical and psychological
tests to ascertain whether or not he is officer ma-
terial. Candidates cleared by the SSB are finally
admitted into the various academies, and after
successful completion of training, they are induct-
ed into the armed forces.

PROCRASTINATION
The word “Procrastination” might be alien to many of
us but it recurs very much in our lives, yet we seem to
be unconscious of it’s presence and impact. It has set
deep roots in our lives that we even don’t know that we
are practicing it on daily basis. About 90-95% of people
procrastinate in this world. In simple words,
procrastination means postponing an action. One might
think how it affects our lives, instead it acts as a con-
venient scape goat to get to a point which keeps active-
ly stifling our progress. Many of us have loads of work
but we keep them delaying. Many of us use this excuse
knowing full well that we are procrastinating
–but waiting for that excitement and adrenaline rush
that will push us through that all-nighter and success-
fully finish on time. For example, many of us try this at
the exam time even i.e. what we say it as-one night
study. Some of the common sentences we use while
procrastinating are- “I’ll start after…” ; “I don’t have
enough information to start…” ; “I’ll do it tomorrow…”
and many more but all this leads us to stuck into the
sloppy sand just like a broken bridge, difficult to cross. .
For example, we set a task to do on a certain day, but
that day turns into two days, into weeks, months and
even years. It becomes almost guaranteed that our
elusive “Someday” will never come and acts as a
“Someday Syndrome” as said well by Ivan Turgenev “If
we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely
everything is ready, we shall never begin”. One more
common word we use is “Tomorrow”. For say “I will
study this time and prepare notes, but even then often
less”. In a Spanish proverb, it is said that ”
Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week”.
But what actually it does ? Procrastination in one
way or the other ultimately kills our productivity,
ambition, motivation and even dreams. It kills one
minute, one hour and one day at a time. This leads
to the most common regret for the people when
they realize that their life is almost over and looking
back clearly on it, they find that many of them had
not honored even half of their dreams because of
the choices they made. One practical example
springs up from our daily lives, when we usually
waste much of our time in waiting. A survey re-
vealed that about 45 to 62 minutes everyday, we
waste in waiting ,in our college I think even more.
But why does it happens? Answers are many but one
aspect common to all is that we deep down on some
subconscious level, take “Today” for granted and imag-
ine that we have unlimited time left in our lives. We
don’t feel any urgency to take action write now. An-
other reason is that we don’t value our time. Finally we
end up by the Lucius Annaeus Seneca sayings “ We
are always complaining that our days are few, and
acting as though there would be no end of them”.
The secret to beating procrastination is that we
need to keep motivated. Every day we must do some-
thing, anything that motivates us, whether it’s listening
to our favourite song, going for that morning run or
simply reading some quotes. Every day we must moti-
vate ourselves because when we are motivated we
have energy, we have ideas and we have dreams and
we pursue those dreams with our unbounded faith
that we will achieve them and more though everyone
has a weakness, a gap in the castle wall, which is once
found, can prove to be a thumbscrew you can turn to
your advantage. We have the power to do whatever
we desire. So start working on your dreams today. Do
not silently accept waiting for a day that your life be-
gins. Make “Today” that “Day”.
“Your life is waiting for you to begin to take CONTROL
of it”
After entering this world, when we begin to learn,
our elders teach us to handle everything from our
right hand: eating, writing, reading, etc. excluding
the odd chore. If someone predominantly uses left
hand, he or she is forced to use his right one. Some
people change but few don‟t, and those who don‟t
lead the regime .There is a dominance of left hand-
ed people all over the world.
LEFT handed people are those who are most com-
fortable and inclined to use their left hand to write.
8-10% of world population is left handed; including
me. There are clear differences between the way the
left handed and right handed people think; they are
less common, that means they have a surprise ef-
fect .Lefties have some significant advantage over
right handed people. They tend to be more athleti-
cally inclined, have more spatial awareness and
think more quickly. Also, they have twice the prob-
lem solving skills and higher IQ than their counter-
parts.
be left or right handed is just not the natural selec-
tion. It is the God‟s creation of brain circuit, which
makes one left or right handed, and we are bound
to accept it .Being left or right handed has to do
with how the right and left side of the brain relate
to one another. Lefties have right hemisphere of the
brain dominating and righties have left one .If two
different handed people read and listen to music
simultaneously, lefty is supposed to concentrate
more on his study, and the righty will get lost in
the song. The right part of the brain is responsible
for critical thinking, image processing and left one
for entertainment like stuff, so if you are right
handed never try the music and math dual combo.
Marilyn Vas Savant, Guin-
ness book record holder with an IQ score of 228, is
left handed. She is a woman and perhaps women
have slightly more IQ than men, but they are emo-
tionally weak and have around thirty five gram less
brain than men, which comprises the issue and
lessen their dominance over the society.
Two major scientists our earth has witnessed; Al-
bert Einstein and Isaac Newton; were both left
handed. President George HW Bush, Barrack
Obama, Prince Charles and William, musician Jimi
Hendrix, Kurt cobain, Paul mcartney, Mozart, they
all were left handed.Julius Assange, Osama Bin
laden and One and Only Adolf Hitler also belongs to
the elite club of left handed people, which also in-
cludes artiste lady Gaga Madonna and Michael
Jackson.Back in the days, when fighting was an
important part of survival and winning mates, left
handed race comes out on the top; with examples
like Alexander the great and the Julius Ceaser.
However, using right side is considered a good
omen and it‟s also prescribed in our religious theo-
ry, such as entering the temple or mosque, putting
your right leg first.
Here human have a significant error, using left
hand for writing that means originally right side of
brain is used, from where
most of the positive ideas
generate.

If God had wanted me otherwise, he would have created me
otherwise...
Were you created to recite prayers for your next
day existence, to puff your belly, smoothen your
skin, make a loud laugh and relinquish your feats
of building a shelter of bricks for yourself or do
you feel I am just an arrogant guy too feeble to
understand that this world is a paper measure.
Make money and it gives you every answers, takes
you anywhere; will even buy a spaceship in case
the earth is exploding, will buy a scientist to tanta-
lize your mind over sci-fi stuff when you even don't
understand why the world is round when it ap-
pears flat. It has always been said that a scientist
will prefer to die in making dent in universe then to
die fluffing egos of wealth at earth. It will be, it will
always be and even if you snub a child when he
asks you 'why don't i see god?' So it would really
please those in heavens if we realize the true con-
tent of our life.
Probably, man is the most unfortunate guy, always
left to explore the planet ceaselessly without any
promise of permanent reward. He starts his jour-
ney as a child with REASON and LOGIC, the
inquisitive curiosity of the working brain, but be-
comes equally WIPED out of his planet without any
reason...in the name of the most dreadful syllable
called DEATH.
Have you seldom paused in the pace of your life,
to ask, “What will I take from this world?” “Will
these generous people always remain with
me?” “Will my voice will always be heard in this
world?” ''Will one day my lovely cheeks,
gleaming eyes and this soft heart will convert
into a rotten matter?” and more specifically ''Will
I always remain here as a living or dead, to com-
plain about my non existence and the other
worldly matters?" I think these questions have
been very easily avoided in the name of religion.
People have been so ignorant in even decipher-
ing the slightest intent of their purpose on earth.
Like a common man, we think in terms of short
clauses. Ignorance do really kills in the end.
But the funniest part of the whole mankind
equation is that our cosmos continue its growth.
It continues to shine. It continues to radiate as
if telling ''you wretched mortals, don't go for
temporary pleasures, go for the permanent
things because you cannot suck nature forever,
at the end of your life nature gulps you in one
go, all your temporary thoughts are sucked and
a fresh vacuum is created for a new life to begin,
for a new human to test.''As they say 'If god had
wanted me otherwise, he would have created me
otherwise and that otherwise is certainly not mon-
ey. Time to rethink as we should not wait, wake.

(What was all the fuss about?)
All of us have heard or read about Higgs Boson or
God particle for sure….but what actually „Higgs‟ or
„Boson‟ is….(probably God knows bet-
ter…!!).Through this article Ali Muzaffar tries to un-
fold what this Higgsmania is all about….
Human mind always try to penetrate every dimen-
sion in search of its so many “Why‟s?” and so many
„What‟s behind?‟ type questions. History events re-
cede in importance with every passing decade and
this importance became an enigma when we talk
about 12.5 billion year old events. Politics and elec-
tions can be seen and analysed. Even the horrors of
war acquire a patina of unreality. The laws of phys-
ics, though, are eternal and universal. Elucidating
them is one of the great triumphs of mankind.
July 4 2012, another step of mankind towards find-
ing answers of the never ending questions. Physi-
cists working in Geneva at Cern, the world‟s biggest
particle-physics laboratory announced that they
found the Higgs boson. Wooo…! Wait….What is
Higgs? What is boson? Why I read this stuff all over
my newspaper and then the same here. Phewww!!
Feeling this … Do you want answers? Well, let it be
simple.
Physicists have two working models of reality. One
is the Einstein‟s general relativity, which deals with
space time and gravity. This is an
elegant assembly of interlocked equa-
tions that poured out of a single mind
a century ago. The other is the Stand-
ard model that deals with everything
more messily.
Now, the question is on which model
our scientists are working to find the
missing part and the answer is the
Standard model. The Standard model,
a product of many minds, incorpo-
rates the three fundamental forces
that are not gravitational
(electromagnetism and the strong and
weak nuclear forces) and also a me-
nagerie of apparently indivisible parti-
cles: quarks, of which proton and
neutrons and thus atomic nuclei are
electrons that orbit those nuclei; and more rare-
fied beast such as muons and neutrinos. With-
out the Higgs, the math which holds this edifice
together would disintegrate.
Finding the Higgs though, made looking for nee-
dles in haystacks seem simple. The discovery
eventually came about using the largest human
machine ever made “Large Hadron Collid-
er” (LHC), in which bunches of protons were
sent round a ring 27km in circumference, in op-
posite directions , at speed close to that of light,
so that they collide head on. The faster the pro-
tons are moving, the more energy they have.
When they collide, this energy is converted into
other particles (famous equation of Einstein;
E=mc2) which then decay into yet more parti-
cles. The scientists were fighting with this elu-
sive mystery for decades in search of a pattern in
these decay particles that shouts “Higgs”. It was
indeed a Higgs mania all around whenever they
felt they were close but then the light disap-
peared. Remember!! How suddenly the news
started flashing, of a particle travelling faster
than light and your friends talking about the
oldphysics books to be thrown out. Woo, Indeed
it was a mania for the greatest minds in universe
working in a close area together for knowing God
more closely with his particle “God Particle”.
It was a quest of dreams. Peter Higgs, a British
Physicist and four other scientists were actually the
ones who, in 1964 , plucked what has come to be
known (unfairly in some eyes) as Higgs boson or
God particle from the formulae they were working
on to fix a niggle in quantum theory.
Now this discovery puts the finishing flourish on
the standard model, the best explanation to date
for how the universe works-except the domain of
gravity which is governed by general theory of rela-
tivity.
Scientists believe that world started with a big bang
12.5 billion years ago from the smallest and the
densest particle which we can‟t imagine. But the
story doesn‟t end here; it is just the answer in the
box of questions- How do galaxies form? How do we
have mass? What is dark matter? And lot many …
Higgs boson is supposed to be actually the mass
provider to every particle. The interaction with
Higgs determines how massive the particle is. We
can imagine curing any disease because we now
know how to make the brain tumours massless.
Anyways, it is just the beginning of another dimen-
sion of nature where by each passing day we feel
that we were so ignorant. But, till now the hunt for
physics‟ most elusive query is over and
scientists across the globe can crack
open a bottle of champagne. But the
reality lies within and I do believe that
this one answer is going to reveal mil-
lions of „whys?‟ for the science lovers
like us to keep pondering and working
on the creator‟s most fascinating inven-
tion “ Our beautiful Universe”.

to go.

Windows 8 is the current release of the Windows operating system, produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and
business desktops, laptops, tablets, and home theater PCs.The operating system was released to manufacturing on August 1, 2012, and was
released for general availability on October 26, 2012.
Windows 8 introduces significant changes to the operating system's platform, primarily focused towards improving its experience on mobile
devices such as tablets to rival other mobile operating systems (such as Android and iOS), taking advantage of new and emerging technologies
(such as USB 3.0, UEFI firmware, near field communications, cloud computing, and the low-power ARM architecture), new security features
(such as malware filtering, built-in antivirus software, and support for secure boot, a controversial UEFI feature which requires operating sys-tems to be digitally signed to prevent malware from infecting the boot process), along with other changes and performance improvements.
Windows 8 also introduces a new shell and user interface based off Microsoft's "Metro" design language, featuring a new Start screen with a
grid of dynamically updating tiles to represent applications, a new app platform with an emphasis on touchscreen input, the new Windows
Store to obtain and purchase applications for the system, and the ability to synchronize programs and settings between multiple devices.

A little lilting music and the chink of ice, new faces, smiles all along, resounding laughter- yes it is party time! Students need
moments to chill out. The very purpose of Freshers party is to welcome newcomers in a friendly atmosphere and avoid social
evils, to encourage their creative impulses to boost their confidence. Two such parties were organized in Z.H.C.E.T. recently .
Mekyos 2012 FRESHER’S PARTY OF MECHANICAL ENGG.
The II year mechanical engineering students organized a very energetic and grand
party to welcome their juniors to the college. The event was organized at the „The
Lamps of Peace‟-The Mechanical Lawn sand was filled with fun, food and frolic. The
professors also made themselves a part of this party and enjoyed with students the
whole fun and music.
Many musical bands like 9 Hunt Red also made to the stage thus making it a star
studded event. Titles of Mr. Fresher and Ms. Fresher along with the titles of
Mr. Evening and Mr. Dynamic, were awarded to the students.
The usp of the event was the ramp walk by all the juniors. Other events included
Sher-o-Shayari, mimicry and many other activities, all wrapped up in a packet of
laughter and joy which made the evening memorable to one and all.
Aaghaaz'12 The Beginning
The Fresher‟s Party, AAGHAAZ'12; organized on the October 14th by students of
2nd Year Electrical, was the first Senior-Fresher Interaction of this academic
session.
The program started with the recitation of Verses from Holy Quran, followed by an
Introductory Speech by „Tabish Imtiaz‟ and „Utkarshaa Varshney‟. Then the live per-
formances by „Jeff Foster‟ and „Mehul Kumar‟ enthralled the audience. After that,
Mr. and Ms. Fresher contest started with First round of Introduction. The juniors
worked hard to surprise and impress the gathering. It was followed by a
fantabulous performance by „Vaibhav Singh‟ who literally rocked the stage with his
sizzling number. Also some very interesting and entertaining games were
conducted by „Sagar Bharadwaj‟ and „Aqib Siddiqui‟.
The last and final round of the Mr. and Ms. Fresher Contest was a Situation Round
where Rahul and Monanshi stole the show and won the Mr. and Ms. Fresher Titles.
In addition to it, Mr. Spark was won by Umang Anil Gupta and Ms. High Voltage
was won by Anam Jawed.
The closing ceremony comprised of a Power Packed performance by our college's
own band 9 HUNT RED. Finally „Tapan Upadhyay‟ and „Shubham Parasher‟ along
with the organizers gave a performance finishing up the show, all moved to the de-
licious food...
