 Let’s be honest: when the IV to Dakshin Chitra was first announced, we all thought it would be a chill day of staring at old wooden pillars. But walking in with Sairam, Mervin,Vishwajith, and Hareesh, I realized this wasn't going to be your average boring museum trip. It was a vibe. The day started with a vibe in bus with dance and music with friends .Our boy Adithya—God knows what he was thinking—tried to jokingly "acquire "a bracelet from one of the stalls. He got caught almost immediately, and the look on his face was priceless. We were all absolutely losing it, laughing so hard we probably annoyed the actual tourists. On a real note, the trip actually taught me a lot about Coherence and Clarity not just in our TEC textbooks, but in how our ancestors lived. Seeing how they built these massive houses without modern tools was eye-opening. I felt a weird sense of pride walking through the Kerala section; it was grounding to see where we came from, even if we were acting ...

Hi there , I am Ishan J pursuing BTech ECM in VIT. Stepping into VIT for the first time felt like stepping into something unfamiliar yet expected. Like everyone else, I came in with a bag full of hopes, assumptions, and a version of myself that was ready to adapt. The introductions were simple — name, branch, hometown — repeated so many times that they started to feel automatic.

As days passed, events started happening, bringing some color into the routine. Onam celebrations were one of the first major moments where the c...
