"As a kid, I always fantasized about wearing make-up. I remember applying lip-balm
multiple times a day and using my mum's make-up material for the annual day event. As I
grew a little older, fashion shows became life! The glittery eyes, glossy lips, flawless skin
never failed to tempt me. Perhaps, I decided to save money just to buy myself fancy
makeup brushes and cute packaged stuff, and that is when I started to experiment with
makeup.”

5. Music- As A Way Of Living for Tushar & Mohak
The Conflux Rivista
“Music has always been more than a source of entertainment to me, it has been an escape
from my everyday life into a world where I didn’t have to worry about the people around
me, their thoughts or judgements.
As a fat sensitive kid, I was always the bullies favorite target. Playing music allowed me to
break free and calm myself, plus I assume that girls love guys who can play the guitar.
Growing up, my taste in music changed, and I turned towards playing more advanced Jazz
as well as Metal music. Listening to Iron Maiden for the first time after vibeing with Boney
M for years really changed my views on music. Soon, I was head banging to Metallica and
Megadeath, only to be drawn towards Progressive metal a few months later.
Dream Theater, Polyphia, Animals as Leaders have got to be few of the best progressive
bands today, no matter what kind of music you’re into you’ll definitely love their music.
Being Progressive metal rock bands they fuse traditional heavy metal music with jazz, pop
or even classical music creating, in my sense, the perfect genre of music.
Even though, I have an order or preference, I love all sorts of music. Music to me is a form
of expression, an art, and listening to music you like is like talking to your best friend for
hours. It changes the way you think, your language, your imagination. For me music is my
private paradise and my refuge.”

“The inclination towards music is not something that was externally
inculcated in me. It's a love that naturally developed over a period of time. I
have only recently started going to concerts and attend these musical meet
and greet events. Honestly, I don't aim to become a famous musician, but
rather an Indie artist who moves and plays gigs around the city. Four years
back when I got into college, I didn't know how to play guitar. So I started
watching some youtube tutorials taught myself how to play. Now I am an
intermediate level guitarist. I love making melodies and have even
composed a few of my own songs. Currently I'm waiting for an opportunity
to help me grow as a musician and collaborate with local artists. I can never
thank my parents enough for their constant support for my music, and my
friend Madhav who helped me enhance my guitar skills and also
introduced me to some of the best Indie artists.
If you happen to be a musician, feel free to reach out and I'll be more than
happy to jam together!
Stay tuned for my upcoming covers and originals.”

6. Independence Day
.. 6The Conflux Rivista
Freedom from the forces of past,
From what fulfils, and what leaves us aghast,
Freedom from oppressive ways,
Freedom from, what goes and stays,
Freedom from those sold souls,
Freedom from deceptive prowls,
From my beliefs and yours too,
August fifteenth was just one such cue,
A day that stood as symbol of fight,
The fight for freedom, for a better day, bright!
A day that did not end the strife,
A day that started the real fight,
Fight from not the other side,
A fight for freedom within, inside!
A fight for freedom within, inside!

7. Let’s Celebrate Festivals!
7The Conflux Rivista
“A festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna. It usually falls in the month of
August. Temples get filled with devotees who come from places far and near to
pray and celebrate. A symbolical ceremony of “Maatki -fod" i.e. breaking the
Matki (clay pot) full of Makhan (butter) is also performed in many places.
Like every year, we were looking forward to celebrate Krishan Ji's birthday this
year as well. We decorated our temple with lights, paper ribbons, and balloons. My
mother prepared a variety of delicious and mouthwatering dishes. This time, the
pandemic made it impossible to get Lord Krishna’s attire from Vrindavan and we
had to buy it from our local store.
In the morning, we gave a milk bath followed by a water bath to Krishan ji. Then, we
adorned him with the new dress, jewellery, and of course the bansuri (flute). Afterwards,
all of us prayed together and the offerings made by my mother, called prasad, was
shared. Then we relished the food altogether. Following, we also danced to devotional
songs and the children of the house showcased some individual performances.
The day was full of fun and frolic and a beautiful experience that we all would cherish.”
राखी का त्यौहार लाता खुशीयों की बहार ,आता है ये साल में बस एक बार!
वैसे तो लगभग हमारी होती है लडाई यार,
पर राखी पर ममलता है भाई का ढेर सारा प्यार!
रूठ जाऊ तो मना लेता है,
नहीं तो अपने गंदे जोक्स पर हंसा देता है!
पढा ा़ई में कु छ समझ न आए तो समझाता है वो,
मैथ की प्रोब्लम सोल्व करना मसखाता है वो!
गुस्सा करता है पर दुलार भी करता है,
जताता नहीं है मगर वो प्यार भी करता है !
मूड ख़राब होता है मेरा जब,
मबना बताए जान जाता है भाई तब!
मुझे मदन भर अपने काम के मलए परेशान करता है वो,
मना करू तो "यार भाई के मलए इतना नहीं कर सकती" कह कर इमोशनल ब्लैकमेल करता है वो!
हां थोडा टेढा तो है,
पर जनाब भाई तो आमखर वो मेरा है?

A personified intelligence, is what he is,
On the fourth of waxing moon is what we miss!

“Teacher's day is celebrated on the 5th of September every year to give regards to not only
our teachers, but also to our parents and other people who add on to our knowledge, help
us turn into better individuals.
It's an exciting day for the students of class 12th as they get to dress up like their favorite
teacher and showcase a little mimicry act. I chose to dress up like my Maths teacher,
wearing an ethnic dress with a badge of her name pinned to it. Other students also did the
same thing. Afterwards, we were all invited on stage in the preset order to thank our
teacher for their valuable guidance and to give them each a rose. Then everyone was
dragged onto the dance floor. We danced together with our teachers and principal ma’am,
and clicked pictures with each other to preserve these moments. Post that, we were
allotted classes to handle a respective group of students. All of us absolutely enjoyed this
part where we got to interact and play games with each other.
Later we returned back to our rooms and conversed with our teachers. A cake cutting
ceremony also took place. The teachers felt elated and gave us love and blessings for a
bright future. It’s indeed a beautiful memory for all of us.”

NO FANCY GOALS, Just, 'SIBLING GOALS!!'
TRIOS : Some are boon , some are bane...
The best trio I have, is a "SIBLING TRIO " which includes my brother Tushar
and my sister Tanisha and yes, don't forget me. From our childhood phases to
our teens, we have always been together, and have had our fair share
of aggressive quarrels or those nasty arguments. In fact that's the best thing about
our trio.
We attend almost every function and all the parties together. I used to go on
drives with bhai, snatching away last bites of food, playing badminton and doing
things that sometimes made our family question our sanity! Bhai is the mentor of
our trio. He used to help resolve my doubts and I used to resolve Tanisha's. This
is our chain of learning. We used to play Ludo a lot on weekends and bhai
cheated every time. He used to snatch the phone when someone tried to slice off
his token!
A week ago, we formed a group named after us. It's spelled as "TMT" where T
stands for Tushar or you can refer to him as t-su**(can't reveal the complete
name)! M for Muskan (me), and T for Tanisha or call her Thanos if you wish!
The story behind this weird group name is that Tanisha and I were playing games
on Snapchat and bhai (Tushar) also wanted to join us. So, we decided to create a
group and sent the invites so that it's trouble free to play anytime for the trio. In
the game, instead of uniting with each other and attacking others, we try to attack
each other so that our game ends together and that I think is hilarious!
We are six siblings in total but the age gap has put us into two separate groups.
Three of us are very close to each other, and same goes for the other three who
share the same age bracket.
But yeah, it's wonderful to have many siblings and some hustle-bustle instead of a
quiet home!!

Yes, you read the topic correctly, one of the controversial ones, that
seldom highlighted on the mainstream platforms of discussion. But no, this
is not what you find in your History or Civics textbooks.
This is a mirror. A reality check of what the society actually looks like,
what we were, how we have progressed and where are we heading.
There is no point in discussing what we are unless we have a solid
understanding of what we were, and how far we have come along the
way.
In an early Indian society, we were divided into four groups, typically
based on birth, which strictly specified the profession one could undertake.
Brahmins, the elite class, were responsible for studying and teaching the
spiritual books. They were extremely protective of this knowledge, and
hence it was available to only a select few. Next came the Kshatriyas, the
warrior group, who protected their land and plundered that of others. They
held complete control over the administrative functioning of the areas they
ruled. On the third rung were the Vaishyas, who were involved in trading
and craftsmanship. They formed the economy and society which the
Kshatriyas ruled over and the Brahmins taught. Needless to say, they had a
lot of influence over their day to day lives. Then came the disregarded and
exploited class, the Shudras, treated as the bottom-feeders and
untouchables. They were responsible for doing all the menial jobs that no
one else wanted to, alongside their regular labour work.
In addition to this, there were strict rules regarding mingling and
relationships outside of one’s own community. The concept of caste and
class differed from place to place, with the above mentioned one being the
most prevalent. Within the caste itself, people were treated differently
based on where they resided.
Caste And Class In The Urban
World :- Ayushi SPEAKS!
Now due to whatever reasons you may want to assume; Mughal invasion,
revolutionary thinkers, British colonisation, or people finally coming to their
senses, the 19th and 20th century was a period of great change for India.
While fighting to gain independence from a foreign crown, there were leaders
who were also fighting these social evils of our own society.
Taking into consideration all these social movements, one might say, change is
inevitable. And so it was. One might say when people started moving into urban
spaces of living, these concepts got left behind in the backward areas.
Another’s opinion might be that as we advanced technologically, socio-
economically and politically, we left these primitive ideologies behind.
Due to progressive education, people started respecting everyone in their peer
groups regardless of their cultural differences. A perspective can also be that
between the high pressure and long working hours of jobs these days, one does
not get time to think of such trivialities.
I somehow do not find these statements completely acceptable. Why? you may
ask.
Let me substantiate this statement with a few simple examples:
-By Ayushi Anand
Picture Credits:- Anuj Kulshrestha
12. The Conflux Rivista 12
- When you open up the newspaper every day, apart from the gut-wrenching,
troublesome news on the first page, ones who bother to through the rest may come
across something called a matrimonial section. This page is full of “wanted”
advertisements, by people looking to marry and settle down.
Now the first thing that they talk about is the caste and religion of the person
whom they would consider for marriage. After this comes their looks, complexion,
height, educational qualification and a whole list of qualities that honestly make me
want to question everything our society stands for. So the situation is such, that
apart from caste based inequalities, we also have to make do with body-shaming,
racial discrimination and more.
- -If the problem of caste-based inequalities has been solved to such an extent, why
is there still a need for reservation? Granted, that it can be greatly misused these
days, but national statistics show that most people below the poverty line, the
uneducated, and those living in unsanitary areas in urban cities, belong to
scheduled castes and tribes. They have a history of living in poverty and facing
discrimination.
- While we have moved away from such discriminations to an extent, there are
newer forms of inequalities emerging on the scene. While people may not judge you
for the caste anymore, they are definitely taking into consideration your education
level, your professional experience, your dressing etiquettes etc. Your social standing
and lifestyle have become the parameters now. The focus while shifting from the
earlier definition of caste and class, has taken up a new meaning in cosmopolitans, one
that revolves majorly around your income level.
- The future is uncertain, but it still is in our hands. We are the ones who will decide
where and how to lead our country. We can choose to remain ignorant of these issues
that our society faces, just as the current generation of political leaders and media
houses do. Or we can choose to own up, take charge, and kick it in the ass! We can
continue living as we do, or we can create a society which is in every sense of the
word, is free and respectful of all its citizens
Now before you start dreaming of becoming the next Prime Minister of our country,
take a moment to gather your thoughts. Reflect on what you just read, and how far it is
applicable in your own life. The change starts from within, analyse what you can do as
a powerful youth of the nation (albeit with limited or no economic resources) to be a
harbinger of this change?PC: Esha Saxena

“Most people who think or talk about changing human psyche and behavior, often
don't realize that their approach is similar to a person who struggles hard with the
branches and thorns of an unwanted plant without giving much attention to its
roots. And end up philosophizing their failures with heavy words like nihilism.”
To give my readers a context to this self-explanatory quote, it has got to do with a
societal error that has been prevalent in most human societies since ages, i.e. gender
biases.
For those who believe that at some point of time in history, some societies were
free of this error; I believe you. But the fact that it's been prevalent almost
everywhere at some or most points in time is a harsh reality which cannot be
overlooked.
Now we might not say it often, but most of us have encountered people whose
intentions are pure without a doubt, people who try to find a place for the reforms to
revise such errors.
To articulate it better, we should look at this problem with how deep inside it has
penetrated in the societies, and how complex of an idea it is for it to be born out of
the human mind.
Historically, when humans were not a part of organized societies like today,
hegemony of muscular strength took over. Which was male dominated.
That does not mean nature wanted men to be the hegemon, but it definitely
indicates the way we as a group or society leaned towards.
As we grew into more organized structures, and our activities became more
nuanced, the societies that were created with insight and forethought
understood the need to recognize the role of the segment of their population
which was perhaps considered inferior until now.
Although at the smaller level of communities, that is families; I would
think that the importance and role of women were never completely
insignificant, even during the very early stages of societal structuring.
But it was only when we evolved and organized, the perspective
evolved and broadened, opening up gateway beyond that hegemony.
Wise men and women used this shift to their advantage, but it did not
sweep across every society like that. It came with some strong
limitations.
The second major shift was more general due to the advancement of
technology, which resulted in the decrease of the need for muscle
power and laborious work. Consequently, this levelled the field for
both the genders in some way.
But while mentioning the early human societies, we must also look at
some of the beautiful societies of South India and some parts of early
Middle Eastern settlements, as well as some of the tribes of America
that were ruled by queens and had a matriarchal system.
This shows us something very interesting about human beings, where
with every other animal species there is a fixed social way of
structuring the group. Like matriarchal societies of bees, or patriarchal
structures of lions, it’s us, the humans, who show both ways of
structuring ourselves. Although in significantly imbalanced ratios, but
still both.
Which means that nature gives us a certain choice.
The way gender warriors have been working on equality is
praiseworthy but they are aiming to move away from the roots and
perhaps their failure will in some way alter humanity. Because when
the definition of success is masculine, the effect of it can be
devastating. The duality of the mind is to be realized, one side is
compulsive and the other one that is conscious. Compulsive mind is
masculine in nature, it's animalistic.
More Feminine, Less Feminists
- By Kshitij
The Conflux Rivista
PC:Krishna Gupta
14. The Conflux Rivista 14
What we lacked as a society then is the same as what we lack now. It is
an erroneous way of thinking about human potential and productivity,
i.e. we still give more importance to the masculine aspects of our lives.
A century ago, it was believed that man is superior because he earns
more. A millennium ago, it was believed that man is superior because he
can hunt and bring food. Today instead of dropping this erroneous idea
off, we were made to believe to be successful one needs to do as a man
does. Instead of crushing the idea of the superiority of men, women
were fooled to be more like them.
Gradually we might think in a different way, a way less flawed, it’s just
that we took a long cut to reach where we have.
Economy is necessary for survival, no doubt, but its not 'the' thing or the
only thing.
It is time women and man choose to work the way they want. Because
humans are not bound by the limitations of nature and neither are we
bound by the societies we create. Because it was created for
convenience not for curtailment.
It is time that what is gentle, what is caring, what is artistic and what is
feminine takes over what is harsh, what is crude, what is rational, what
is masculine.
It’s time both women and men begin to know the power of these
qualities.
It’s time the world becomes tender.
It’s time we become more feminine, less feminists.
Conscious mind is feminine in nature, it’s tender and gentle. It's due to the
prevalent masculinity in our minds that we consider everything tender as
weak. And that there, is an error. If we look at it with clarity, we'll see it was
not out of wisdom or conscience that our societies saw women as better or
equal to men, but it was a compulsion created by the technological advances.

Hey everyone! This is Divya. I hope you and your loved ones are safe. So, here’s a letter I wrote to 13-year-old me who actually went through a lot of things.
Let’s get started.
Dear Me,
Your life has not even begun yet. Everything will get a lot better; I promise. It will all be okay.
I know you miss your old home and your friends but trust me! Jaipur will definitely love you and after a certain period, it’ll be your perfect home!
I know you have faced separation from family, and from your friends, all the while becoming a more mature girl, and a kind sister, helping your brother out with his problems. But dear 13-year-
old me, you are awesome! And it’s okay to have change in life!
I wish I could give you a hug and reassure you.
I don’t want to sound inconsiderate, but just know that everything you are worrying about now will all be insignificant one day.
Constantly thinking and talking about your old friends will not do you any good. You need to accept the change and come in terms with the new reality.
You will get everything you ever wanted. You will get good grades, you will become the school topper, you will get so many awards and certificates, and even become the head girl of the
school!
Like every other teenager, you’ll experience it all, success and failure, loneliness and anxiety, sadness and happiness. And it’s okay to let it all happen to you! But I’ll let you in on a little
secret, by the time you turn 18, you’d have grown into one of the most beautiful souls, prioritizing your family and career. You will become the strict mother of your home who will take care
of her parents and everything else at home. You will even be a great chef.
I know right now you are not big on socialising but that’s okay, take it all as an experience. By the time you’re 18, things will not be the same. You would be surprised to know that you’ll
start hating Instagram and Snapchat and will prioritise real life over social media.
You will become obsessed with books and let me advise you! Stop overthinking, it’s the worst habit you have. Don’t be influenced by others. Stop thinking about those who don't care
about you, and look at those who loves you.
You know what Divya! Being a teenager is hard, harder than most adults like to admit. You’re somehow expected to figure out who you are, all the while enduring an onslaught of
hormones, and social and academic pressures.
Divya, you have a family who loves you, friends who accept you, a good education, and you have yet to pay for a single thing in your entire existence.
So just be happy and enjoy this time! You will meet many people and I am sure you will love them. But in the end, the only ones who’ll be there for you are your parents. Always respect
them like you do. Love them as much as you can. Love your brother and teach him all the good things.
Be happy and yes! One more thing at 18, still a fan of Mr. Modi and one more person added to that list is Jass Manak. .
Take care and enjoy this time!
Love,
A more mature you

16. OUR EVENTS
The Conflux Rivista 16
The Conflux Rivista is an upcoming organisation of the youth, by the youth. The initiative began with the idea of bringing youth opinions and perspectives to mainstream attention. The
organisation does this with a multitude of outlets such as enriching discussions, informative videos, and different art forms. The organisation does not lay emphasis on a particular field,
rather wishes to cater to all crucial issues that in any way, shape, or form bring about a wave of change. It not only addresses the status quo, but also aims to challenge and debunk societal
evil hindering progression.
Working on this line, The Conflux Rivista organized various webinars this year.
1.
‘The Conflux Rivista’ its first and tremendously successful webinar on
‘Countering Gender Discrimination and Negative Stereotypes’. The line of
panellists included Abhinav Sharma, Pooja Majumdar, Arjun Jaiswal, Abeer
Khan, Kartik Nangia, and Vihaan Chaudhary. These talented group of
individuals reside in different corners of the world and belong to different age
groups. Their perspectives brought about divergence to the panel and left the
audience with a lot of food for thought. Some of the aspects covered during
the webinar were the history of gender roles, gender discrimination in fields
such as entertainment and health care, the rigidity of societal systems, and
signs of positive change. Specially emphasis was drawn towards the
LGBTQIA+ community; and a touch of emotion was added by all the
panellists talking about acceptance and promoting equal rights.
With the success of its first official event, The Conflux Rivista embarks on
this journey of giving a platform to voices that deserve to be heard and
opinions with a potential for the much-needed change. In the words of Angela
Davis, “I am no longer accepting the things I can not change. I am changing
the things I can not accept.”

17. Managing Relationships
The Conflux Rivista 17
We humans are interdependent upon each
there, and therefore relationships play a
significant role in our lives.
Managing relationships is an art in itself. To get
to know that art better, to analyse various
perspectives the team organized a session on
‘Managing Relationships’. The speaker of the
session were: Ms. Nikita Deshwal, Ms. Kike
Bataglia, Mr. Vijjual Pundir, Ms. Sunita
Pandey and Ms. Lizu Kaur. The cherry on the
cake remained the participation from the
audience.

Different colors reflect of my eyes,
They reflect of my happiness and pain,
Some bring joy while some don’t.
There are times when we are surrounded by people
yet end up feeling alone. We fail to express our
emotions to the ones we know but feel comfortable
to portray them to strangers.
Keeping the same in mind, a week of letter writing
was organized in which letters were exchanged
through a random shuffle and at the end of the
week every participant ended up receiving a
heartfelt letter from a stranger. The event proved to
be a bliss as 50+ letters were exchanged in the
week.
