“In 1991, when I had built the heating belt, there was no one doing this in India. For people, it was an alien product. They relied on water bags for heating therapy and were happily using them. Thoughts crossed my mind that maybe I’m on the wrong path, I even thought many times to shutter the business but as destiny had its plans, it took me a decade to make my product a success,” he says.

After graduating from engineering from Mumbai, Rajiv had a clear idea that he didn't want to do a 9-5 job. Rather, he wanted to use his knowledge and skills in doing business. He stumbled upon the idea of making an electronic heating belt after watching the discomfort provided by heated water bags. Being an electronics engineer, the invention of a heat belt was not a difficult task for him but getting consumers on board was tedious. People were not ready and were very hesitant to use and electronic product on their bodies. It took a decade to gain market acceptance.

“That time there was no internet where you could educate customers about your product through a video or detailed post. We had to go door-to-door to promote the product, give the demo and do sales,” Rajiv recalls.

After launching the heating belt, the company’s annual revenue was less than 5 lakhs in the first year. Now, three decades later, Flamingo, which operates under the company Ascent Meditech Limited, is expected to touch the revenue of 200 crores, Rajiv claims. The company’s major markets include India, East Africa, and Southeast Asia.

Finding The Real World of College

What is “The Real World of College” is a question, seriously being asked in India and elsewhere. In a forthcoming illuminating book (March 2022) with this title, Wendy Fischman and Howard Gardner have analyzed in-depth interviews with more than 2,000 students, alumni, faculty, administrators, parents, trustees, and others, which were conducted at ten institutions ranging from highly selective liberal arts colleges to less selective state schools. What they found challenged characterizations in the media: students are not preoccupied by political correctness, free speech, or even the cost of college. They are most concerned about their GPA and their resumes; they see jobs and earning potential as more important than learning.

  Zehreeli itself means toxic or poisonous. A toxic relationship is one that makes you feel unsupported, misunderstood, demeaned, or attacked. In Shirish's words, "Imagine you lose all the power in your relationship, and you are controlled and used by your partner. But, you are still happy with it, and want to be with them". It took about 4 weeks for Shirish to create this hit from scratch.

The difficult part in composing and producing the song was sound selection. All the sounds in the songs had to fulfill the purpose which was "the listener should find it tacky and groovy". So, the sounds had to be altered accordingly.

Shirish's upcoming content is a music video, which is currently in the post-production stage. This "unnamed" music video will be released in March, this year. He was working on the song and the shooting of the video simultaneously, which took him around 3 months. The exciting part is that all the finances for this upcoming music video were secured from crowdfunding on social media.

Shirish Singh is a singer, songwriter, producer and, plays keyboard and guitar. He hails from the musically rich city of Varanasi.

“I started playing harmonium at the age of 4. At 16, learned music production by myself. In coming years, I learned various other instruments like guitar, keyboard, piano and mouth harp, all by myself. Music was always my passion. During my Engineering, I was actively involved in Theatre as a Composer and Playwright. In my 4th year of B.Tech, I left my college and decided to pursue my passion.”

Students came back to the campus the previous week, after they bid adieu to 2021 at their respective hometowns. Students at VU compromise a cosmopolitan mix from all parts of India and so it’s always interesting when students come back after a break bringing in loads of stories and a bit of their culture along with them.

This makes it exciting for the students to come back as well. Overall, living with people from across the country in this beautiful campus at VU is a different experience in itself. The mountains, the people and their stories is what makes VU, VU!

“The friends I made here are definitely the best part of VU for me.”

Vijaybhoomi University’s campus was conceptualized and its spirit was brought to life by Mr. Alok Shetty, Principal Architect and Founder of Bhumiputra Architecture. The campus was designed on multiple axis systems, with each corridor, passageway, and window capturing views of the mountain range that serves as a backdrop to the beautiful site. This also helps create light wind tunnels that bring cross ventilation to every part of the campus, minimizing our need for air conditioning systems.
