Renesa - Spring Edition 2021
Messages from Faculty “Creativity doesn’t wait for that perfect moment. It fashions its own perfect moments out of ordinary ones.” - Bruce Garrabrandt In more ways than one, this quote by artist-turned-author Bruce Garrabrandt embodies the philosophy and the spirit of Renesa. For well over a decade, Renesa has connected the student body and served as a platform for the SVNIT community to share their thoughts, express their opinions, and showcase their creativity. Even though we reside in an institute of technology, it does not mean that we have to restrict ourselves to only a few fields. I am glad to see that along with academic studies and other college activities, many students regularly indulge in activities where they can express themselves openly, develop their talents, and expand their intellectual horizons. Even in difficult circumstances, our students have shown that they can persevere and create extraordinary work. For the members of Renesa, this manifests itself in the form of writing and designing. These writings often consist of intricately woven stories and well-researched articles that present readers with new perspectives on many ordinary ideas and topics. The detailed illustrations made from scratch by the designers instil life into these pieces and depict the ideas in new ways. As Faculty Advisor of Renesa, I am extremely proud that the students of our institute have taken the responsibility of providing an open platform to the college upon themselves. They have proven that even during trying times, creativity and innovation can never be shut down. The fundamental abilities that exist in every one of us will shine bright even on the darkest days. I hope this magazine will rekindle that inner writer or inner artist inside you and inspire you to create new things and think of new ideas. As the theme is “Connections”, I hope that through this magazine, you relive the memories of your college life, discover new ways of thinking, and appreciate the irreplaceable connections you’ve made with people in college. Finally, I would like to extend my gratitude to all the readers of Renesa. The college magazine caters to every student and faculty member of SVNIT, making them the sole reason for its existence. This magazine would be incomplete without you, the readers. So, I thank you again from the bottom of my heart for sparing your time to enjoy reading this magazine and for supporting the team of Renesa. Dr. Vipul Kheraj Faculty Advisor Renesa
