CALLING IT A DAY - Ayush Kumar Choudhary

I set out on a journey for you,
To find you among the rest,
But things got unclear and unsure,
So I built a bridge from east to west.

I waited at the bay with longing,
Yet, let’s say, the day was done.
In this vast sea of sand,
You painted mirages in the sun.

As I sank in shifting sands,
You took my oars, headed to land,
By the bay’s edge, where I lay,
Breathing out, I called it a day.

Tired and weary, I’m worn,
You can go, explore the morn,
Chase treasures on your own way,
Warm sands invite me to stay.

Watching sunsets from the bay,
I embrace the night, no delay.
Mesmerized, I have no fear,
I trust destiny, the path is clear.

I am content, at peace within,
Beginning a journey, new and thin,
It’s time to leave this familiar bay,
For everything else, I bid goodbye today.

Pride: Personal Identity, Social Movement and a Tale of Oppression - Shaleen Shukla

An opinionated piece probably exceeding thousand words about Pride from a hetero-cis guy is the last thing anyone, including myself would want to read. But it is necessary when you are expected to write a discourse piece for The Weekly Edge. On a more serious note, it is also indicative of the lack of representation of queer people across the board. Our club is one that takes immense pride in standing by the LGBTQ+ community as staunch, outspoken representatives and allies. And yet, the fabled ‘Seat at the Table’ for the queer community remains unoccupied, in our organization and in all others. I had the chance to listen to Emma D’Arcy, who plays Rhaenyra in HBO’s House of the Dragon, talking about the struggles she faced while coming out as non binary. Juggling her acting career, her gender identity and her moral choices. And I was constantly in awe of the sheer strength and character she had displayed through all those circumstances. There are a lot of examples, stories and l...

Vote-But How? - Amogh Shukla

Voting is crucial to the survival of a representative democracy, but so is the system through which it is implemented. There are various methods around the globe through which votes can be cast and the results calculated. These systems are known as “electoral systems." An electoral system defines the set of rules through which elections are conducted and their results are formulated. Voting is limited not just to politics and government selection but also applies to corporations, non-profits etc. Wherever voting occurs, there will be a particular set of people who are allowed to vote. It is referred to by multiple names, like an electoral college, an electoral roll, or simply an electorate. For example, the electoral college for the election of the president of India consists of the elected members of both the houses of parliament and the elected members of ...
