The title references an epistemological theory that supports the nurture side of the nature vs nurture debate within child developmental psychology. it theorises that "human intellect at birth resembles a tabula rasa (clean slate),a pure potentiality."
This piece presents to you the mind of a child - a clean slate. The void functions as a background to this piece and highlights the potentiality and the limitlessness of a child's imagination, as there is "freedom is emptiness." The wandering lines emulate the mark-making of a child, and extend beyond the confines of the canvases to the walls to further emphasise the breadth of their ingenue, how their mind is constantly buzzing with new ideas and observations, and how they have little to no awareness of external pressures and expectations that would otherwise impede or constrain them. The representational, academic painting style with which I have used to render the figures in this piece underline the irony of it all, how the project was an endeavour to explore the ways of a child yet it has amounted to my discovery that one cannot unlearn years of classical training and return to the primitive. The den is a familiar childhood memory that we all share, it is a portal to that world, a world full of freedom, curiosity and wonder. However, we observe the child from afar, as she is engrosses in her own activity, oblivious to us, thriving in her own atmosphere. The den itself is inaccessible as it's an image and it is physically impossible to enter it and return to our child selves. Similarly, I am unable to completely grasp the essence that lies within the lines and strokes of a child. Through this realisation, we amass envy towards her unselfconscious naïveté and insouciance that we, once upon a time, all had.
We are teachers. We teach because there's something about yoga that connects us to our souls, to our hearts. And when we find something that speaks to us, we want to share and pass it on.
The path of yoga is the spiritual path. It is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts. For that, I'm forever grateful.

INDIAN ACADEMY SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES celebrated Achievers' Day 2017
“The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but significance and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning” - Oprah Winfrey
IASMS strives to provide opportunities for students to participate in student impromptu speaking, debates, Business Plan presentations and cultural programs, all of which focus on overall student development. These small initiatives trigger confidence and the essence of team spirit that play a vital role in shaping the future of our MBA students.
14th June 2017, marked the Achievers Day celebrations recognizing the efforts of the students who excelled in various academic and non-academic inter class MBA competitions. The program was presided over by our honorable Chairman, Dr. T. Somasekhar. The program included a brief report of M.B.A. department activities presented by our Director, Dr. Rajasekar. This was followed by a beautiful video highlighting major activities organized by the department in the current semester. The prizes to the winners of various events were handed over by our Chairman and our Director. In his presidential speech our Chairman, Dr. T. Somasekhar emphasized on how education is exploring oneself and not merely confined to knowledge accumulation. As long as we consider ourselves a student all our life, we would benefit from learning the new and unlearning the old was the wisdom that he shared with our students. The event concluded with the students expressing their wholehearted appreciation and positive feedback for the events organized.
