BRACU team reaches Battle of minds semifinal Imrul Chowdhury Journalist Battle of Minds is one of the most prestigious business competitions that takes place annually. Ever since its establishment in 2004, it has now spread across over 100 Universities with more than 30000 applicants yearly. This year, the competition had a brand new look, as it had to take place virtually. This was also the year when three Brac University students - Sajid Bin Hasnat ( Junior, ESS), Jidni Mayukh Shachsa (Senior, CSE), and Tasmin Islam Esha (Senior, BBS) – made it all the way to the semifinals. For the first round of Battle of Minds 2020, the participants had to submit a 2-minute video and play the Pymetrics online games. Those that qualified here moved on to the Bootcamp round, where participants had to play a game in the first part, following which, they were divided into groups consisting of participants from different Universities and made to solve a business case and come up with ideas. Only thirty students were then picked from the three hundred that remained to move on to the semifinals of the competition. Among those selected were the three BracU students.

Team Sonic makes bizMaestros 2020 Finale Halima Hasin Journalist Team ‘Sonic’, comprised of Kazi Humaira Ferdosi (Senior, BBS), Anik Dibya Islam (Senior, MNS) and Syeda Saima Sajida (Senior, MNS), concluded their splendid run at the Unilever bizMaestros 2020 by making it all the way to the final round. This year, the first round of bizMaestros focused on the health and wellbeing of the people and asked the participating teams to use their ideas to bring about improvement in this sector with the aid of Unilever’s products. Subsequently, the second round shifted attention towards the access of online shopping. In this round, teams had to come up with effective campaigning ideas that would encourage people to shift towards online shopping. They also had to think of ways to make this mode of purchasing easier. After providing solutions to the challenges given in the first two rounds, participants advanced to the third round, which was centered on the issue of children and women of the country being malnourished. Those that qualified through here, made it to the final round. The final round required the teams to spread the reach of Horlicks and raise nutritional awareness throughout rural areas. Kazi Humaira recounted her experience fondly, as team Sonic went to different schools and stores in the rural area, conversed with women of different groups, and researched the nutritional benefits of Horlicks. They also had to conduct research on how other countries were spreading the reach of this product in their localities. When asked about how she felt regarding the competition, she stated that “It has been a journey full of thrill and challenge and we tried our best to craft the perfect solution.”
“I have been actively involved in extracurricular activities throughout my University life, so the assessment phase of BOM was second nature to me,” spoke Jidni when asked about his experience, “while I did not face any difficulties, I felt challenged and enjoyed each and every step of the journey.” Sajid Bin Hasnat, another member of the BracU team, when asked to give advice, told future participants to “work on their speaking and leadership skills”. He also emphasised the need of staying active in the business circuit arena to hone their skills. This achievement by the BracU team will surely inspire the BracU business competition enthusiasts and propel them to even greater heights.

Project ‘Nirbak’: a silent protest against harassment Sadiya Taher Journalist Project ‘Nirbak’ was a brief, but significant initiative taken by the members of BRAC University Film Club (BUFC), in an effort to depict the physical harassment that women face on a daily basis. It was a documentary-based project, focusing on harassment and gender-biased abuse that people, especially women, go through in a certain societal setting. It recorded a series of real-life stories in which the participants shared their personal experiences of any such physical harassment or abuse. BUFC, through this project, tried to shed a light on incidents of physical abuse that may have caused prolonged trauma and mental suffering for the victims involved. The aim of this program was to show how easily physical abuse can take place and how carelessly people tend to ignore and normalise it. When asked to express his thoughts, Akil Tahsin (Senior, CSE), President of BUFC, stated, “This project was a brainchild of BUFC, and all the members, production team and the story-tellers, poured their heart and soul into this. I would say, the project is a success in terms of its purpose, which was to share the stigmatised incidents of the society and raise awareness against it”. A culture where victims get a secure platform to share their experiences and create social-awareness is one that is sorely needed. In that regard, this program is definitely a welcome sight.

OPINIONS & ACADEMICS
In the void of club fairs
Mysha Nowrin Alabbi Journalist As another online semester rolls around, it has come to a point where students are starting to get used to the ebb and flow of a virtual semester. Hours spent waiting in lines for registration is replaced by hours spent staring into monitors. In fact, most things are replaced by hours spent starting into monitors. However, even beyond the usual suspects that are the lack of physical classes and vacant iconic campus spots, something else is also amiss. Like an itch at the back of the head, realisation slowly dawns that it has almost been a year since the last club fair was held. Club fairs are an integral part of Brac University, marking the beginning of each semester. Freshers often come into university with expectations and enthusiasm to know their university better through club fairs. For them, it is a platform to connect with their seniors and to make new friends. The lack of a club fair is thus creating a gap between them and senior students and also denying them the opportunity to make new friends. Virtual orientation sessions, though a viable alternative, might be quite overwhelming to connect to for a lot of them. Even the students who have experienced club fairs in the past cannot help but feel their absence. The festivity that surrounds each iteration of the fair is hard not to miss after all. On the flip side, club members are pushing their limits to come up with

innovative ways to make virtual sessions interactive and fun. Even though they themselves feel that nothing can quite substitute the in-person activities of the past, they are doing everything they can to arrange online events in the best way possible. Their effort deserves recognition and the fact that these online events are keeping students engaged in extracurricular activities proves their effectiveness.
Midwifery education for the underprivileged Nusrat Kamrul Zarin Journalist ‘Diploma in Midwifery’ is a 3-year long diploma course that was first launched in 2013 by Brac University, following the government’s measures to accelerate the production of midwives and introduce them to the most remote communities of Bangladesh. This Diploma in Midwifery (DMP) course follows the standards set by the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) and is approved by the Bangladesh Nursing & Midwifery Council (BNMC). DMP education is developed to produce qualified midwives and expand personnel for midwifery education simultaneously. DMP of James P. Grant School of Public Health ( JPGSPH), BracU, is supported by the UK government and collaborates with six other NGOs to operate all around Bangladesh. The targeted students of this project belong to different socioeconomic backgrounds and rural areas. The curriculum consists of 40% theoretical and 60% practical hours. To complete the degree each student has to finish a six-month-long internship. Along with other midwifery education components, there are six on English language, which are monitored by Brac Institute of Languages (BIL). DMP also offers tuition waivers and merit scholarships to deserving candidates, and is gradually minimising tuition. Currently 628 students are studying in different semesters and by the year 2021 DMP looks to create around 1,200 midwives. Due to the ongoing pandemic, this midwifery education programme had to shift towards online learning. Even though learning online created problems for many underprivileged students, DMP deployed funds and is trying earnestly to provide appropriate solutions to the students to avoid learning interruption.

Refugee Studies Unit: BRACU’s new humanitarian initiative Rusafa Hussain Journalist On November 24th, Brac University’s Centre for Peace and Justice (CPJ) virtually commenced the Refugee Studies Unit (RSU). According to BracU’s press release, the formation of RSU is a major initiative in propelling the “CPJ’s vision to support Bangladesh’s humanitarian and development sectors in building expertise and skills for peace building, justice and social cohesion.” The development of the RSU was set in motion in 2018, with the goal of generating knowledge and awareness of the Rohingya crisis and the subsequent impact of their dislocation and involuntary migration to Bangladesh. They plan on tackling this issue by investigating and concentrating on four thematic segments: Participatory Action Research, Situation and Context Analysis, Research and Knowledge Repository, and Higher Learning. Through this, the CPJ hopes to create a groundwork of knowledge enabling lawmakers, benefactors and the NGOs to generate suitable and informed responses that would assist the refugees and alleviate their sufferings. The ceremonious launch of RSU included the presence of three highly esteemed guests, Robert Chatterton Dickson, British High Commissioner to Bangladesh; Professor Vincent Chang, the Vice Chancellor of BracU; and Laetitia van den Assum, former member of the Advisory Commission on Rakhine State. Remarking on the topic, Vice Chancellor Vincent Chang said “One of the RSU’s objective is to conduct research and ultimately generate new knowledge. In doing so, the RSU will be able to contribute toward possible solutions to the Rohingya refugee issue and other crises.” By conducting the necessary research, reaching out to legislative parties, and engaging with the refugees to establish a better understanding of their experiences— the Centre for Peace and Justice is taking on an imperative feat in order to come up with a long-term solution as they hope to stabilize the Rohingya crisis in Bangladesh.

Understanding the cold chain challenge of the COVID vaccine Samila Sobhan Journalist Brac University and Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), have been selected to receive funds to conduct a research project that would assess the feasibility and proper delivery of the COVID-19 vaccines amongst the masses in developing countries. With hopes of reaching the world’s most vulnerable economies, the project is supported by the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). The intent behind the project is to bring about pragmatic and efficient ways to transport and store vaccines after the manufacturing process. This is vital as recommended temperatures are essential for maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the vaccine. Working with international researchers, Britain’s scientists and researchers will facilitate 20 projects worth £7.2 million to address the world’s most susceptible populations at risk of the virus. The fund brings together several distinguished researchers to amalgamate their mastery and experience to unearth innovative solutions that would combat the virus. Dr. Farzana Munshi, Professor of Economics, and Ahsan Senan, Lecturer of Economics, both from the Department of Social Sciences and Economics comprise the team from BracU to tackle the research. Professor Farzana Munshi believes that this research will provide an opportunity for policymakers to engineer the most sustainable interventions on the national medical supply chains. She also highlights that it has the potential to become a logistical asset for future natural disasters and epidemics. Essentially, this project will play a vital role in the making of provisions that would develop a sustainable cold-chain delivery system.

Bonton Connect – Internet made affordable Mohaimenul Solaiman Nicholas Journalist
Bonton Connect is an innovative start-up initiated by two students of Brac University - Samiha Tahsin ( Junior, CSE) and Omran Jamal ( Junior, CSE). With a unique yet simple concept of Wi-Fi sharing, the co-founders aim to make it a platform that caters to the need of affordable, stable and accessible internet. While trying to connect to a café’s strained WiFi signal to read an update about a certain coursework, Samiha noticed that several password-protected WiFi signals were available in the local area. This observation sparked a discussion between her and Omran, eventually planting the idea for the startup that Bonton Connect is today. Bonton Connect focuses on two groups - the hosts and users. The hosts can share their WiFi via the Bonton App and the users can avail this WiFi for a whole day at a price of only Tk 5, if they remain at one place and Tk 10 if they are travelling. The app ensures an automatic connection to the nearest and least congested WiFi network and also promises a seamless and safe connection. Since being initiated in November 2019, the start-up has branched out from only being available at Mohakhali and Dhanmondi, to expanding into the Green Road and Mohammadpur areas. Bonton’s growth and evolution is a testament to how even a fleeting conversation at a café can turn into something tangible that can affect the lives of hundreds of people.
Post Covid Interaction: Battling the pandemic through Architectural innovation Khwaja Zohura Zanzabil Journalist Throughout history, architecture has been repeatedly influenced and shaped by plagues such as the Black Death and Spanish Influenza. In this regard, ArchTwist, an online architectural competition website, presented a contest named Post Covid Interaction to encourage young architects to visualise and design social space layouts that would be suitable for post-COVID-19 public interaction. Sindis Hassan (Graduate, ARC) and Nazifa Tabassum (Graduate, ARC) won the contest together with their design, “Breathe”, which is a layout for a social rooftop space that would allow safe socialisation and leisure activities in a post-pandemic situation. The design comes with a rooftop gymnasium, workspace, vegetation space and a playground, all in a sterile environment due to efficient disinfection and aeration. Faculty from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), and the University of Asia Pacific (UAP) comprised the jury board, and the winning team was awarded prize money, along with certification and publication. Students from multiple universities all over Bangladesh, participated in the competition. When asked about what drove them to find a solution, Sindis expressed that perhaps it was the desire to find a workable, real-life solution for the problem at hand, rather than winning a prize, that helped guide them. According to her, their project aimed to make life a little better in the safest way possible, with the rooftop being a place for interaction and stress relief without the danger of being infected. Nazifa added that coming up with a solution to the current pandemic was quite challenging. However, she was happy that their idea may help many people through this calamity if implemented properly. Both Sindis and Nazifa are thrilled to have won the competition. While Nazifa hopes to participate in more competitions in the upcoming future, Sindis hopes to travel to different cities all over the world for further inspiration.

BUCHC: The Champions of InterUniversity Chess Tournament
Tanzila Kaokab Journalist BRAC University Chess Club (BUCHC) emerged as the champions of the “Inter-University Online Chess Tournament’’ competition hosted by Daffodil International University (DIU) from October 16th to 17th.

When asked about his thought process during a game, he shared that in order to win a game of chess, one must have a plan that he should execute step by step. As a footnote, Sarowar added, “Chess history and literature are very rich and the online chess community is growing exponentially. One should engage him/herself with this community which will lead them to a general pathway to learn chess effectively.”

E-Sports: Where Passion meets Profession Sarah Nazia Chowdhury Journalist Playing video games to earn your livelihood may seem like a situation that is too good to be true, but that is exactly what e-sports entails. Though the term may seem obscure to many, e-sports is in fact, a platform where professional gamers compete against other people or teams to win, and consequently earn money. Muktadir Rabbii (Senior, CSE) is one such aspiring professional in the realm of esports, currently playing for the e-sports team MercenarieZ. When asked about how it all started, Rabbii admits that he started gaming from the age of 10 following his cousin, though to him it was initially just a hobby. He had not started competitive gaming until 10th grade, when he got into the multiplayer first-person shooter game, “Counter-Strike.” As Rabbii followed his passion for gaming though, he had to face many obstacles – namely, the social stigma surrounding gaming as a source of income. “Most parents would want their child to get a job that has social recognition like being a doctor or an engineer, which is why professional gaming is not even considered as a profession,” he shared. Despite the barriers, Rabbii’s high hopes for the platform still remained intact. He felt that esports had seen significant progress in recent times, even within the country. “MercenarieZ even recently won their maiden 2020 South Asian Major Tournament which I believe is an exceptional feat,” he added. However, even with these achievements, he felt that for the popularity of esports to truly expedite, it needed to be recognised as a legitimate sport in order to get proper media coverage. When asked to share advice for newcomers, he emphasised the importance of passion and asked anyone ambitious enough to pursue e-sports as a career to maintain a balance between academics and playing games. He felt that they were not mutually exclusive and with proper discipline, one could manage both.

The Mandalorian, an ode to old westerns
Tribute to Soumitra: A mirror of the thinking man
Fardin Alam Journalist
Tahsin Farjana Journalist
From Millennials to Generation Z, Star Wars has captivated generations with its enthralling storyline and action-packed sequences, establishing a pop culture phenomenon unlike any other. However, many fans were left disappointed with the new movies as they failed to live up to their predecessors. Then, just when all seemed for naught, a new hope entered the fray - The Mandalorian. The Mandalorian is a Disney+ original show that takes place right after the events of Return of the Jedi, Mandalorian, illustrated by Saif Ahmed focusing on the Mandalorians, who are a group of bounty hunters and well-known enemies of Jedi. The show is quite straightforward in its narrative approach. Its cinematography is fantastic, drawing heavy inspiration from old Western and Samurai movies. What makes this series stand out though, is its attempt to explore some of the more enigmatic elements of the Star Wars universe. It also brings back certain characters from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, much to the excitement of many unsuspecting fans. With two seasons worth of material available, it is apparent that Disney+ is attempting to recreate the magic of the old films one more time. Who knows? Maybe the force is with them on this one.
After more than 300 films, plays and theatrical performances, Soumitra Chatterjee has passed away due to COVID-19 — in a day of late autumn, November 15th. Born in 1935 in Kolkata, Soumitra graduated from University of Calcutta Soumitra Chatterjee in his films with a Master of Arts degree in Bengali literature and started his career in acting under the mentorship of Sisir Bhaduri; a trailblazer of theatre in Bengali language. From being a radio announcer in All India Radio and playing shadow roles in the theatre of Bhaduri, Soumitra went on to be a staple in Bengali cinema over the next 60 years of his career. The film Aparajito, directed by Satyajit Ray, was the start of a wonderful working relationship between Ray and Soumitra, as the latter went on to play versatile characters in 14 more films directed by Ray — including Apur Sansar and Charulata. His role in the Feluda Original Film series also resulted in Ray’s illustration of Feluda in the books. Soumitra’s performing art has created a vivid reflection on each of the characters he played. In later life, Soumitra played roles in numerous films such as Akash Kushum, Ashani Shanket, and Bela Seshe. His swan song is Raja Lear; an ongoing play based on Shakespeare’s King Lear. For his contribution to the world of cinema, Soumitra Chatterjee received prestigious awards like Padma Bhushan, and “Officier des Arts et Métiers” which solidified his spot as one of the greatest performers in the Bengali cinematic history.
Funeral: On the Complexity of Loss Tasfia Ahmed Journalist Released in 2005, Arcade Fire’s debut art-rock album Funeral gained widespread critical acclaim due to its perceived complexity, ranking 13th on New Musical Express’ 500 Greatest Albums of all Time. Funeral’s charm lies in its novelty, achieved by its execution of surrealism which is carried out by the constant instrumental and lyrical shifts and contrasts encompassing the album. Each track stands out from the other due to the distinct ways in which they merge with the orchestral elements of the album, individually borrowing from a wide spectrum of musical influences. Kettles heavily utilises a string quartet and an accordion, which mute out other instruments. Power Out sprinkles the sounds of a cello and a xylophone onto the post-punk influenced guitar riffs that dominate the track. When the intricate mixing of genres is paired with recurring abrupt shifts in tone, tempo and textural thickness, the listening experience becomes disorienting due to the consistent inconsistency. Lyrically, the hooks draw in the attention of the listener due to its simplicity. A majority of the lyrics however are doused in abstract, overly specific metaphors and vivid imagery consisting of vampires, deities and thunderstorms.
With ambiguous lyrics to decode, subtle intrusions of orchestral instruments, and the continuous shifts in overall tone, Funeral leaves the listener overwhelmed and lost, simultaneously nailing the cornerstone of surrealism and the residual emotions resulting from death.
