Monsoon Music: Uttar Pradesh and Bihar's Kajri — An ode to dark clouds
No matter which part of the country they live in, Indians always look forward to the rains every year. The first shower of the season, the evocative smell of wet mud, childhood memories associated with the rain — it is hard not to be swept away by the magic.

The Indian monsoon is a subject that has inspired people who have lived in the subcontinent since ancient times. This ongoing fascination has resulted in the creation of several works of art, starting from timeless poetry and music in Sanskrit — the oldest references of which we find in the Vedas — and in Classical Age poems like Kalidasa’s Ritu Samhara (dated approximately in the fourth to fifth CE), a description of the beauty of the six seasons in India.
In these works, the monsoon is regarded as a season of romance and fertility. In the next few centuries, the diversification of languages and dialects in the Indian subcontinent was accompanied by a proliferation of music and poetry inspired by the rains.
One of the most striking genres of Indian music, called ‘Kajri’, was thus born in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
The most popular examples of the Kajri, a folk song based on the rains, can be found in the Bhojpuri language, but there are similar songs in the sister languages of Awadhi, Maithili, etc. The word ‘Kajri’ comes from ‘kajal’ or kohl, referring to the dark color of the clouds, which look almost as if they have been smeared with kohl. One also finds a reference to this in the popular phrase ‘kajrare nain’ or dark, kohl-smeared eyes, immortalized in several pieces of music and poetry, as well Bollywood songs (think 'Kajra Re' from the soundtrack of Bunty and Babli).

Mind Mantra
While schools teach about one’s body in terms of anatomy and physiology, it is hard for children to understand and internalize the same for their brains, as it is more complex and convoluted. While some people do internalize these aspects of the brain through their own experiences, it is always better to receive guidance from an expert.
That is what happened during the ‘Mind Mantra’ session presented by Dr. Santosh. The main talking points of the session were regarding self-awareness, acknowledgment, and further team building. Those who attended the session were involved in a group discussion regarding prominent topics like learning the psychology of the mind, understanding conscious and subconscious phenomena, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and building a strong personality.
The power-packed session also included team-building exercises, group discussions, and self-acknowledgment activities. These activities left the attendees with a greater understanding of the self and how to work on bettering oneself.

Sport Houses
In sports, there always needs to be a sense of belonging to a faction which when tested in matches against other factions, drives up the competitiveness, resulting in a better performance.
After the roaring success of the last sports carnival, The student council tirelessly worked in order to establish four houses within VijayBhoomi University, namely the Mambas, The Wolves, The Hawks, and The Sharks. The houses were established in order to help increase the participation of students, whether it be as part of the events or as spectators cheering on their own houses.
This week, The student council with the sporting faculty organized a house meeting for all the houses in order to select the captains and the vice-captains of the houses. After the members of the houses elected their leaders, all the houses were debriefed on the activities to expect in the future and the structure of the houses themselves.
