Hitherto it was believed that nestled in the lush green valleys of the North-East, NIT
Silchar is aggrandized as well as scuttled by its picturesque location that remains far flung
from the rest of the mainland. But the spirit of the institute has proven to be too strong to be
thwarted, and under some inspiring leadership, it has broken the shackles that constrained it
to the so called Third Tier. NIT Silchar, today, is registering a strong presence on the bigger
stage of the nation with its voice that has become increasingly robust. Among the technologi-
cal gems of this nation, NIT Silchar is dazzling all its peers and has set an example of evolu-
tion. While NIT Silchar walks as a vanguard of the caravan of innovation in India, we have
decided to choose this year’s theme as “India initiating Innovation”. Let us all take a few
moments to sit back, go through the pages, read about leaps and bounds that our country
has taken in this never ending saga of innovation.
We have revamped the magazine completely and given it a completely new look with a hope
that it turns out towards the better side. The pages are now glossy, more number of colored
pages are included and a little of tinkering has been sprinkled on the layout as well. Compil-
ing the magazine is a task as arduous as nothing else; it took us a great amount of hard work
and persistence to come out with this magazine. I express my heartfelt gratitude to my edit-
ing team members and feel elated to have support from teachers whenever I stepped in their
room. I must thank my friends Bhawarnab, Mrinal, Pooja, Abhishek and Avinav for sharing
their solidarity with me in our common conviction towards a successful publication of this
magazine. The Vice President Agni Kumar Jha and Ex-literary Secretary Anurag Anand were
a firm wall behind the back. I was lucky to have a mentor like them; a thorough professional
who worked hard in the superlative and derived the same from those under their tutelage.
Had this magazine been a venture as personal to me as the job of its editor, I would have in
all certitude dedicated it to these men who dedicated themselves to their alma mater.
Blessings of honorable Director Sir enlightened me time to time and gave me proper direc-
tion to work for it. Dr. K.C. Satpathy Sir was with me out from office hours too and has given
all possible support and motivation without which it was very tough to go ahead. The gener-
osity of Nailn.B.D. Choudury Sir, Wasim Arif Sir, Vivek PathakSir always inspires me and they
were the onec to clear any doubt anytime. Himangshu Bhuyan is worthy of many thanks for
working on the magazine design for numerous late nights. I acknowledge the involvement of
all those who contributed for this magazine, for without them the idea would have been but
absurd.
I hope we have been successful in standing up to the expectations that you had harbored for
the annual magazine. Wish you a happy reading!

मरी कॉम एक स्य कथा हं, यह कहानी हं पांच बार बॉक्संग
चक्पयन रही मरी कॉम की, ज कक मणिपुर मं रहन वाली
साधारि सी लड़की थी, कजसन जीवन मं कई संघषं क पार
कर दुननयाँ मं अपनी एक अलमट पहचान बनाई | कजन
पररक्थनतयं मं मरी कॉम न इस बुलंददयं क पाया उन

कि्म मं मरी कॉम का ककरदार रियंका च पड़ा न ननभाया कजस कािी पसंद ककया गया | रियंका न भी इस
ककरदार क ललए बहुत महनत की और कि्म मं उनकी यह महनत ददखाई द रही हं | रियंका लू्स मं त मरी कॉम नहीं हं
पर उ्हंन अपन आपक क एक बॉ्सर बनान मं क ई कसर नहीं छ ड़ी | बाहरी शरीर क साथ इस ककरदार क ललए
अ्दर स एक आ्म रवकवास क जगाना भी बहुत ज री था | पर रियंका न एक िशसनीय काम ककया हं | एक ररयल

बंद कमरा
बंद कमरा, हाँ, कमरा आजकल बंद ही रहता ह. मंन उस बंद कर ददया ह, उसकी मायूसी क दूर करन क
ललए. मं स चता हूँ, इस कमर न, न जान ककतनी पीदढ़यां दखी हंगी. जब मं पहली
बार इस कमर स लमला था, तब भी इसक चहर प मु्कान न थी. शायद इसन
गुजरत व्त मं, कु छ बहुत ही भयानक दखा ह.
एक 16ft का कमरा, इक णखड़की और एक दरवाजा. द नं क ज ड़ती इक र्सी
और र्सी प कु छ मल-कु चल कपड़, ज महीनं स पड़ हं. ज न ध बी क ददए, न
खुद ही ध य. छत और िशट सिद , ऐसा लगता था की बनान वाल न जान बुझ
कर सिद संगमरमर लगाई ह , शायद उस लगता था कक संगमरमर की चमक स
कमर की मायूलसयत कम ह . पर उस ्या पता था, उसका ददया छत क सिद
रंग भी कमर क ललए किन का काम कर सकता ह. कमर मं एक मज और एक
पलंग कहीं ककसी क न मं पड़ रहत हं. मज पर रहती हं मरी ककताबं. एक क न मं
बनी अलमारी कजसमं रखन क कु छ नहीं, लगभग खाली ही पड़ी रहती ह. ककताबं
त कु छ मज पर त कु छ मर साथ पलंग पर रहतीं हं. मं अ्सर कजन ककताबं
क पढता हूँ, उ्हं बब्तर पर ही छ ड़ दता हूँ. व ह्तं तक मर साथ स ती और
उठती रहतीं हं.
कमर की छत और िशट क बबच संपकट करती नीली दीवारं. दीवार मं एक णखड़की. जब मं पहली बार इस
कमर मं आया था तब णखड़ककयाँ जाम थीं. मान बषं स ककसी न इनक ख ला न ह . णखड़की स न धुप आती
ह और न ही हवाएं. ददखाई भी दती हं इन णखड़ककयं स त लसिट ह ्टलं क अलग करती दीवारं. दीवारं, ज
ताज़ी हवाओं क बाहर ही र क लतीं हं. कभी कभी अगल-बगल क कमरं स लड़न और चीख़न की आवाजं
इनस आती रहती हं. हाँ, अ्सर इन णखड़ककयं स इक, एक पर वाली गचडड़या अंदर आ जाती ह. हर शाम व
गचडड़या णखड़की पर आ कर बठ जाती ह. शायद व इसी कमर मं रहती ह . जब कभी भी णखड़की का शीशा
लगा रहता त , व अपनी चंच स णखड़की ख लन का आदश करती. मं जब भी शीश क ख लन जाता तब व
उड़ जाती और किर थ ड़ी दर बाद णखड़की पर आ कर बठ जाती, और धीर-धीर कमर क एक क न मं चली
जाती. ऐसा लगता जस उस कमर का स्नाटा पसंद ह. या व इस स्नाट क बार मं मुझस कु छ कहना
चाहती ह, पर कह नहीं पाती.
मुझ नहीं पता उसकी एक टाँग कस टूटी !
मंन पहल ददन इस कमर की जम कर सिाई की थी. तब मंन स चा था, अगर मं इस कमर क र ज़ साि
क ँ त शायद इसकी मायूलसयत कम ह . तब मर रवचार कु छ और थ और अब कु छ और, शायद इसललए
्यंकक तब मं खुल घर मं रहता था और अब एक छ ट कमर मं. मर रवचार पहल खुल थ और अब संकु गचत
स लगत हं.
कमर मं ददन की शु आत ह ती ह सायरन की आवाज़ स, पहल मुझ य अ्छा तरीका लगता था बबना

अलामट जगन का, पर अब लगता ह जस य सायरन
मजदूरं क काम पर बुला रह हं. अब मरी नींद सायरन
की आवाज़ स ही खुलती ह, इसललए मरी पहली ्लास
अ्सर छू ट जाती ह. पहल मं हॉ्टल स कॉलज खुशी-
खुशी ननकलता था. अब भी मर कदम कमर स भागन क
हॉ्टल स तजी स ननकलत त हं, पर कॉलज पहुंत-
पहुंत सु्त पड़ जात हं. क़दमं की वही क्थनत ह ज
नल स ननकलत धार की ह. धारा ननकलती त नल स
िवाह मं ह लककन बा्टी तक पहुंत-पहुंत टूट जाती ह.
एक अजीब सी घुटन लगती ह इस कमर मं. पहल मं कॉलज जात व्त सारीं णखड़ककयं क ख ल कर जाता
था. बती और पंख भी ददनभर ऑन रहत थ. मं स चता था, शायद र शनी और हवायं कमर क ब झ क कु छ
कम कर सकं . पर शायद य काम इनक बस का नहीं.
एक बार कॉलज स ल टत व्त ्याल आया, शायद मर जूतं क साथ सारीं उमंगं, सारीं खुलशयां कमर क
दरवाज़ पर ही छू ट जाती हं. य बड़ी ही बचकानी स च थी, पर किर भी मं नहीं माना. तब मंन कमर मं जूतं
क लाना शु कर ददया. इसस िशट की सिदी त कम ह गई, लककन कमर का ब झ अब भी भारी था.
मंन कमर क लुभान क ललए कई गचर बनाकर उसकी दीवारं पर टाँग. मंन कई करवताएं भी दीवार क भंट
की, लककन बात कहीं न बन सकी. कमर मं हर पल कहीं न कहीं सूनापन लगता रहा. और धीर-धीर य
सूनापन मर गचरं मं, मरी करवताओं मं, और अंततः मुझम घर कर गया.
अब मंन कमर क उसक हाल पर छ ड़ ददया ह. मंन णखड़ककयं क बंद करक उनक ऊपर अख़बार और परद
लगा ददए हं. अब बती भी कभी-कभी ही जलती ह. मं अ्सर अँधर मं बठा रहता हूँ. शायद यही काम मरी
रपछली पीढ़ी न भी ककया ह गा, तभीं त मुझ णखड़ककयाँ जाम लमलीं थी. अब मुझ इंतज़ार ह कक कब कमरा
अपनी हीं मायूलसयत स ऊबगा और कब कमर मं चमक आएगी. शायद इसी इंतज़ार मं मरी रपछली पीढ़ी न
कई ह ्टलं म कई कमर बदलं हं.

उ्मीद त कम थी लसलचर स बहुत।

परंतु जस हीम लसलचर पंहुचा,

आजतक मरीय उ्मीद कायम ह।

कमर मं बठा था की, ्याल एक आया
तारीख ्या ह आज, य स च थ डा मं मुरझाया
ल्हं क मजमं मं स ,ज कु छ ल्हं क चुराया
ल्हा हुआ किर मरा, मं ल्हं मं समाया
किर व्त था य साककत, मं पीछ मुड़ रहा था
अरस स ज था छू टा किर उसस जुड़ रहा था
यादं क नगमं मं स एक न्म ऐसी आयी
ललखी थी कजसकी खानतर किर याद उसकी आयी
यादं न मुझक ट का, थम जाओ ्या ह ज्दी
कस गए तुम भूल ,इतना कु छ, इतनी ज्दी
यादं न मुझक किर स त्वीर व ददखाई,
हम साथ मं थ कजसम,
पर अब व धु्धली ह,
अब दती नहीं ददखाई.
किर व्त न मुझक एक क न मं बबठाया ,
यादं न एक-एक कर, हर णख्सा मुझ सुनाया
किर व्त उठ ललया और धीम स चल पड़ा था
अब सामन थ मंज़र, सब साि ददख रहा था
त्वीर चल पड़ी थी, आवाज़ चल पड़ी थी
चाहा था मंन कजसक व सामन खड़ी थी

किर व्त न ली करवट, या यूँ कहं अंगड़ाई

अब मं पड़ा था साककत और व्त चल पड़ा था.

A u ag A a d Hitherto it was believed that nestled in the lush green valleys of the North-East, NIT Silchar is aggrandized as well as scuttled by its picturesque location that remains far flung from the rest of the mainland. But the spirit of the institute has proven to be too strong to be thwarted, and under some inspiring leadership, it has broken the shackles that constrained it to the so called Third Tier. NIT Silchar, today, is registering a strong presence on the bigger stage of the nation with its voice that has become increasingly robust. Among the technologi- cal gems of this nation, NIT Silchar is dazzling all its peers and has set an example of evolu- tion. While NIT Silchar walks as a vanguard of the caravan of innovation in India, we have decided to choose this year’s theme as “India initiating Innovation”. Let us all take a few moments to sit back, go through the pages, read about leaps and bounds that our country has taken in this never ending saga of innovation. We have revamped the magazine completely and given it a completely new look with a hope that it turns out towards the better side. The pages are now glossy, more number of colored pages are included and a little of tinkering has been sprinkled on the layout as well. Compil- ing the magazine is a task as arduous as nothing else; it took us a great amount of hard work and persistence to come out with this magazine. I express my heartfelt gratitude to my edit- ing team members and feel elated to have support from teachers whenever I stepped in their room. I must thank my friends Bhawarnab, Mrinal, Pooja, Abhishek and Avinav for sharing their solidarity with me in our common conviction towards a successful publication of this magazine. The Vice President Agni Kumar Jha and Ex-literary Secretary Anurag Anand were a firm wall behind the back. I was lucky to have a mentor like them; a thorough professional who worked hard in the superlative and derived the same from those under their tutelage. Had this magazine been a venture as personal to me as the job of its editor, I would have in all certitude dedicated it to these men who dedicated themselves to their alma mater. Blessings of honorable Director Sir enlightened me time to time and gave me proper direc- tion to work for it. Dr. K.C. Satpathy Sir was with me out from office hours too and has given all possible support and motivation without which it was very tough to go ahead. The gener- osity of Nailn.B.D. Choudury Sir, Wasim Arif Sir, Vivek PathakSir always inspires me and they were the onec to clear any doubt anytime. Himangshu Bhuyan is worthy of many thanks for working on the magazine design for numerous late nights. I acknowledge the involvement of all those who contributed for this magazine, for without them the idea would have been but absurd. I hope we have been successful in standing up to the expectations that you had harbored for the annual magazine. Wish you a happy reading! Bhaska Jha
