Degrees & selfies …Graduating with memories for life
In the fading light of the day, the air was filled with a blend of nostalgia and excitement as graduating students, donned in traditional attire, prepared to embark on new adventures while cherishing the memories created over the past few years.
The campus buzzed with laughter and chatter as students reminisced about their time spent. For many, the journey was not just about the pursuit of knowledge but also about the friendships forged during late-night study sessions and spontaneous adventures.
Madhav Mukund Kadam, a BTech (CSE) and the President of India Gold Medalist, said, "The late-night auction sale was a fitting end to our time here. I waited two years for a good deal on a bicycle from a senior—it was more than just a bike; it symbolised our journey together. From old hard disks to books and shoe racks, everything in that sale represented a chapter of our lives that we won't experience again."
Parents watched proudly from the sidelines, capturing every moment of their children's achievements.

Rupali Deshpande, the mother of a BTech student, said, "We arrived a day early to visit the temples in Ujjain. It's not every day that we come to Indore, so we wanted to make this moment special. Our child's success is indeed a blessing, and we are so grateful."
Students also took this opportunity to show their appreciation for their families. Many treated their parents to Indore's famous cuisine, creating memories around tables filled with laughter and love.
As time slipped away, students said the late-night badminton matches and casual gossip sessions would be missed dearly. Madhu Trivedi, an MTech (CE) Gold Medalist, said, "I lived the best time of my life at IIT Indore. The campus is stunning, but it's the memories of playing badminton with friends after classes that I will cherish most. Those moments of open conversations about everything and anything were priceless.

MP Waje seeks immigration checkpoint at Nashik airport
Nashik: Nashik MP Rajabhau Waje recently met with Union aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu to push for significant developments at Nashik airport ahead of the upcoming Simhastha Kumbh Mela in 2026-2028. Waje submitted a memorandum requesting an immigration checkpoint and a major airport expansion to handle the expected influx of devotees. The proposed expansion includes constructing a new terminal building with seating for 1,000 passengers, developing new taxiways, and increasing the number of aircraft parking bays. Waje also called for the construction of separate helipads at the airport, in Nashik city, and in Trimbakeshwar to manage the massive crowd. Naidu has assured Waje that he would look into these requests. Additionally, Waje proposed that the airport be named after Yashwantrao Chavan, Maharashtra's first chief minister who was instrumental in bringing the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) unit to Nashik. Currently, the Nashik-Delhi flight has been reduced from daily to four days a week. This service should be made daily again. Waje also requested a slot at Delhi airport for the second Nashik-Delhi flight at night. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Do you have a mouse? Desert Order Undo The MP also called for expanded air connectivity to Nashik airport, specifically requesting new routes to major cities like Kolkata, Varanasi, and Chennai. All these demands come ahead of the upcoming Kumbh Mela, where the airport expects a significant increase in passenger traffic. The airport, a joint venture between the state government and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), was developed between 2013 and 2014 at a cost of Rs 94 crore. The current terminal can only accommodate 300 passengers at a time. With the footfall expected to reach 1,000 passengers per hour during the Kumbh Mela, HAL has submitted a proposal to state govt for a much-needed upgrade. However, a decision on the development plan is still pending.

Walled City features in book series on Seoul's heritage
Ahmedabad: Lend an ear to the walls of Ahmedabad in the heart of the city, and chances are you might hear centuries of history. The walls and gates spanning 11km, which gave Ahmedabad India's first Unesco World Heritage City tag, saw the Gujarat Sultanate, Mughals, Marathas and British before the emergence of independent India and the city's development as a major economic hub of the country. "Few may know, but the enclosures also served as water reservoirs with wells and a well-maintained water system comprising a river and channels. Panchkuva Darwaza, as the name suggests, got its name due to the presence of five wells, some of which may even have served travellers," said Ashish Trambadia, a city-based conservation architect. Trambadia, along with his wife Poonam, also a conservation architect, represented the city and India in the Seoul City Wall Studies Series of books focusing on urbanisation and history coexisting in an Asian context.

Poonam Trambadia said that, like Ahmedabad, the city of Seoul is also seen as a medieval walled city before its modern avatar. "Thus, the compendium is seen as a collection of best practices that also includes perspectives from Japan and China among others. The city was included due to the long history of the fortification and its World Heritage Site status," she said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Access all TV channels anywhere, anytime Techno Mag Learn More Undo The duo said that built between 1411 and 1486, the city's fortification has a long, documented history with a founding fable including Sultan Ahmad Shah. There are three distinct phases in which the fortification came up and multiple phases of restoration — the last one continuing to date. "We also focused on the original 14 gates of the city, especially the recently restored ones that gave a peek into the city's architectural style and its foundation," said Ashish Trambadia. "During the restoration of Khanpur Darwaza by Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), the roof slab was opened. At that time, we noticed a unique element. Unlike other city gates, it did not have an arch but a beam supported by stone brackets with trabeated spanning commonly seen in eras predating the Sultanate era. It can be seen as a confluence of architectural styles," he said. "Likewise, at Raikhad Darwaza, we went up to the foundation level for the first time during the restoration process and found the unique technique of layers of bricks between stones, perhaps as a measure to soak moisture and provide a cushion against earthquakes." Poonam Trambadia said that from being the reason for Ahmedabad's municipality to exist (to repair the dilapidated walls) in 1831 to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's historic decision to decongest the walled city areas in 1921, the walls have played an integral role in the city's history. "Today, they need conservation and maintenance amid several challenges of urbanisation. But the need of the hour is to ensure that we pass them down to the next generation," she said.
