Resist the Communist Onslaught on Humanity Across the Worl~ .
Fight Against the Violent Game-Plan of Communist Lumpensn .
.
Friends, 18.03.200S .
The communists on the campus are trying to outdo their masters in West Bengal, Kerala and China. .
In an extremely violent attack on the ABVP activists, the SFI lumpens have physically assaulted Manoj .
Kumar (Secretary, ABVP, JNU), Saurabh Dubey (Vice President, ABVP, JNU) and Santosh Pathak (ABVP .
Coucillor candidate from SSS) beating them brutally after mobbing them in a pre-planned manner without .
any provocation. The SFI lumpens were led by Dhananjay Tripathy (Ex-JNUSU President), Roshan Kishore .
(Secy, SFI, JNU), Anup Singh (a non-Student and SFI history sheeter) and other outsiders. In the assault .
that occurred in the night of Sunday the 16th March 2008, Manoj Kumar's left hand and Santosh .
Pathak's right hand were fractured and Saurabh Dubey has received internal injuries. It is first .
time in the recent years that the students have been so severely assaulted that they got their limbs .
fractured. What was most shocking was that Manoj Kumar, a Scheduled Tribe student was abused 'P) .
on caste line in a very derogatory manner. Dhananjay Tripathi abused him saying that, .
"Saale main Brahmin hokar bhi coomunist hoon, jabki tum adivasi hokar ABVP main .
ho... Tumlog hamesha se nich ho aur rahoqe!" .
A complaint has been already lodged with the Delhi Police and the JNU Administration. It is .
unfortunate to note that the JNU Administration and the Police has not yet acted on the complaints. This is .
despite the fact that the incident occurred in the presence of Group 4 security guard and the Delhi Police. .
The SFI lumpens also misbehaved with one of the faculty member Atul Johri who was trying tf ' .
stop the mob. The inaction on the part of JNU Administration is not only unfortunate but condemnable. We .
demand that Anup, a non student should be immediately declared out of bounds and Dhanajay .
and Raoshan Kishore should be immediately expelled from the university. We also demand that .
the University should stop shielding the communist lumpens at the d ictates of Karat and Yechury .
and start dispensing justice to the students. If the JNU Administration fails to deliver justice we .
will approach the National SC/ST Commission and Human Rights Commission simultaneously. .
It seems that the communists on the campus have got emboldened by the increasmg assault by their .
masters on the civil society and marginalized groups in I ndia and China. While the CPM government have .
massacred the farmers and poors in Nandigram and Singur dispossessing them of their lands and livelihood, .
in Kunnur a systematic murderous assaults were launched on RSS-BJP-ABVP activists at the behest of the .
state government in Kerala. The Chinese massacres of the protesting Tibetans remind one of the brutal .
genocides in Tian Mann Square and killings of millions by the communist dictators like Stalin, Mao and Pol .
Pot. On the campuses, the SFi and its cohorts have always resorted to violent methods seeking to eliminate .
them physically. We still remember the gory incident in which over 15 heavily armed SFI/CITU/DYFI/CPM .
activists stormed into the Examination Hall of Guruvayur Sree Krishna College and hacked the College Union .
Chairman and ABVP leader Shri Sanoop while he was wnting his exam. Other students writing the exam .
were chased out of the examination hall before they brutally hacked. Sanoop received injuries all over his .
head face and legs. He was admitted in the hospital tn a critical condition with very serious injuries in his .
eyes and legs. Doctors attending him have expressed strong apprehensions about his losing vis1on owing to .
the injury. Also, there are multiple fractures in his right leg and arms. .
The silence of the communists over the Tibet issue is yet another reminder of their double speak. .
While hundreds of Tibetans are killed and Chinese army is gearing up for a Tian Mann Square like incident, .
Sitaram Yechuri dubs it to be an internal matter of China. It is the same left which creates a lot of .
ruckus when something happens in other countries and takes false pride in raising international .
issues; it has chosen to maintain a studied silence over Tibet. They are again proving themselves .
to be the henchmen of Chinese imperialism on the Tibet issue when the peaceful demonstrators .
are trampled upon and killed. It is but natural to see the communists supporting China against .
the Tibetans as they are the same anti-nationals who had supported the Chinese aggression of .
India in 1962. Thev are pleading for the clemency for Afzal but they are silent on the execution of .
Sarabjit in Pakistan. .
It is very much clear that the SFI got highly perturbed by the candle march against the violence by CPM in Kerala. The attack on the ABVP activist is a well planned assault aiming to terrorise the activists through their methods of Goondaism. The JNU-Administration has a habit of letting away the communist lumpens. It did not act when the ABVP activists were attacked during 2004 JNUSU elections, it shielded them when they disrupted the meeting of the Prime Minister, they were allowed to return unscathed after writing an apology in the case of the detention of the JNU Registrar, and they were not punished when they attacked the protesting JNU students on the issue of Bhagwan Shri Ram in the last JNUSU elections. In such circumstances, there is little hope from JNU Administration. But we still demand that Dhananjay Tripathi and Raoshan Kishore ot be expelled and Anup to be declare out of bounds. In case of JNU Administration choosing to defend them, ABVP would take the course of agitation. We call upon all the nationalists & democratic minded students of JNU, to rally behind ABVP and defeat the divisive, undemocratic, anti-poor, anti-farmer & anti-national designs of the CPM and SFI. .
Vandemataram! Bharat Mata ki Jai!! .

Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

Now, I want you to think for a minute, just a minute, mind you -about hair. Yep, hair. Doesn’t seem like much, does it? A couple strands of keratin, sprouting outta your head. But let me tell you, hair’s been with us since the dawn of time, and it’s been telling us a whole lotta stories, whether we knew it or not. Hair, the materia whom always, in all times, has shaken up whole societies.
You see, long before we ever thought about dividing the world into kings and paupers, hair was the first marker. The first identifier. You could tell if someone was a warrior or a wanderer, a queen or a poet, just by the way the wind caught their locks. The Greeks, they had their statues, those marble faces that don’t say a word, but their hair? Man, the way they carved those curls, it was like they were trying to tell you something about power, beauty, and the gods themselves.
But then, you get to the Middle Ages. And I don’t know if you’ve ever really thought about this, but a lot of folks back then weren’t walking around with their hair out in the wind like they were some kinda free spirit. Nah, it was all about covering it up—knots, veils, and hoods. That hair? It wasn’t for show. It was about humility. A crown of thorns, if you will. Kings and queens, they had their fancy wigs and all, but the common folk? Well, their hair was a bit of a mystery, hidden under layers. Wasn't until the Renaissance when they started to let things breathe again, when it became a symbol of expression.
And then, now, this is where it gets interesting, folks, we hit the 60s. Yeah, that time. You know, when folks started letting their hair grow wild and free, like some kind of protest against the chains they’d been told to wear. Long hair, man. Long hair was freedom, it was rebellion. You could see it everywhere; on the heads of poets, artists, revolutionaries, and dreamers. The longer the hair, the stronger the voice. You didn’t need a suit and tie to be someone, you just needed some hair and a reason to speak.
Let’s weave that in. The pink movement; punk rock, anarchists, anti-establishment rebels, these folks made some serious noise with their hair, and it wasn’t just about the look. It was a declaration, loud and messy, like an electric guitar shredding through the silence of the status quo. I’m taking you forward just a little bit further, down the road to a time when hair wasn’t just a statement, it was a revolution. Yeah, we’re talking about the ‘70s and ‘80s. The streets were lit with fire, with music, with a noise so loud it made the world stop and listen. And that noise? That was the sound of rebellion.
You see, back in those days, you didn’t just wear your hair one way because it was ‘fashionable’—no, no, no. You wore it to tear down the walls. The pink movement… that’s the punk movement, kids. And their hair? It was electric. It was bright. It was alive.
They didn’t just wake up one morning and decide, 'Hey, let’s dye our hair pink.' Nah, this was a statement. An act of defiance against a world that told them to blend in, to conform. They took their hair and slapped it right in the face of the establishment, made it sharp, jagged, unnatural. They took the scissors and razors and chopped it into spikes, shaved it down to the skin, or colored it the wildest shades of pink, blue, purple. Every shade under the sun that screamed, 'I don’t care what you think. I don’t care about your rules.' And let me tell you, this wasn’t just about how it looked. This wasn’t just a fashion trend, it was a battle cry. They had their safety pins, their leather jackets, and their spikes, but it was the hair that made the statement stick. It was the hair that caught your eye first, and you knew right then and there; these people were gonna burn the bridges. They were gonna break free from the chains of tradition, of expectation. Hair was their weapon of choice. It said, 'We are different, and we’re gonna wear it proud.' You see, that pink hair, those mohawks, those bright streaks of color, these weren’t just for shock value. Nah, they were a mirror. A reflection of everything the establishment was scared of. They were a reminder that hair, in all its crazy glory, could hold a truth, a truth that couldn’t be ignored.
But let’s not forget, hair’s always been more than just a statement of rebellion. It’s been a symbol of spirituality, too. Back in the ancient days, warriors would grow their hair long before a battle, some say it made them stronger. And if you think about it, the whole Samson and Delilah story? That’s a classic, right? His strength, his power, all tied up in those luscious locks.
And don’t get me started with the samurai warriors, ‘cause that would make me never want to leave.
Hair's been there through it all, from the fields to the cathedrals, to the streets and the soundtracks of our lives. The shape of it, the color of it, how it moves or doesn’t, it says something. It’s not just a physical thing. Nah, it’s part of the human story. Whether you're hiding it, growing it, cutting it off or letting it fly, hair’s been right there with you, whispering the secrets of who you are, or who you wanna be.
Now, as I say this, I gotta ask you… what's your hair say about you today? I mean, here we are, in this crazy world of screens and mirrors (touché!) and masks. We’ve got choices, yeah. But do we really understand what those choices mean? Or are we just playing with the wind? I guess it’s one of those things, like a song that lingers long after the music fades. Hair. It’s more than you think. It’s a story, it's a shout, it’s a silent prayer. And if you really listen to it, it’ll tell you where you’ve been… and where you’re going.
Well, that’s enough rambling, folks. Remember this: sometimes, it’s not about what you wear or what you say, it’s about what you don’t say. So next time you look in the mirror, think about the hair. It’s been with you from the start, and it’ll be with you until the end. So let it tell you something. You got your freedom... now let it fly.
//Your always hair-fetichistic Loana.
