Storizen Magazine - December 2022

In this issue

“Every moment is a fresh beginning.” T.S. Eliot said it right. I also believe that death is only the beginning. The previous moment dies and the new one is calling you o start afresh.
The year 2022 had its own highs and lows. As it is coming to an end, we want to make sure that the New Year 2023 starts with a bang. Thus the theme – “Giving Life a Fresh Start…!”

Talking about life seems simple and complicated at the same time. To sort it out, we are super excited to feature Swami Mukundananda in Storizen this month. He is back with another feather in his cap, his latest - Golden Rules for Living Your Best Life. Do check out the cover story on page 8

After two long years, IIT Madras is finally hosting the Annual Cultural Festival, Saarang 2023 offline, and this time they are back with a bang. IIT Madras in association with Storizen presents Saarang 2023. Check out the coverage on page 20 inside!

A lot has happened backstage and more is yet to come. We are thrilled to share with you that we hit the milestone of a Million Visitors to Storizen Website organically in 2022. Thank you all for your great support and for showering your love upon us!

The Present Is A Present

Sometimes in the business of life we become like robots, frenzied, automated, and mechanical. Even our social outings sometimes seem to promote repetitive behaviour or repetitive activity. Thus, life goes on, the mind numbs out and everything seems pointless! Until of course nature, fate or destiny strikes through.

Girl With Large Eyes

Anita had not fully unpacked the things when he returned from the office in the evening. The process was long, uninspiring, and tiring. Necessary utensils, clothes, and toiletries had found their homes. Books, curios, and fancy crockery still lay in the carton boxes, waiting for their turn.

The Way to a New Beginning

Just when one intended to relax -warming bones in the cozy, wintry afternoon sunlight; escaping the cold in a well-heated room; or enjoying the comfort of a temperature-controlled air-conditioned room, reading and reflecting on larger issues of the surrounding and the world; and occasionally being lost in the reveries of a delightful life-unexpectedly one had to confront a challenge that intimidated oneself, asking for immediate attention, demanding a solution unknown to one's level of consciousness at the time.
