SWIM WITH YOUR
mobile
Go swimming with your new Sony Xperia Z— that's what the Gen Z is happy about
The best mobile as of
now in the market is
the Sony Experia Z
says Harshal
Chadha from EC
final semester and Aman Bhatnagar
feel that this phone's most popular
USP is its security from water and
dust. "Accidents of dropping
mobiles into water is a frequent
careless gesture by the younger generation.
So we love this phone ----, "
says Aman and his colleagues. Jagrit
Chawal from MRCE says "I have a
special preference for Sony phones
because of audio quality," Nandit
says the camera quality is incomparable!
Earlier Sony handsets such as the
Xperia S and Xperia T were extremely
promising from a brand striking
out on its own - but it's with the
Xperia Z that Sony is really banking
on making a cataclysmic dent in the
makeup of the smartphone market.
Officially it was unveiled back in
January at CES 2013 .The Android
Jelly Bean (4.2). Sony Xperia Z
comes with some of the best specs
on the market - and it's one of the
most eagerly awaited handsets.
Launching just before the HTC One
or Samsung Galaxy S4, Sony is trying
to steal an early march from its
competitors. "The Android phones
are a great possession says Jagrit.
Indeed, the first thing you notice
about Sony's new flagship device is
that the firm's designers have
ditched all the familiar Xperia
design language in favour of something
startlingly generic. From that
old curvy looks of previous phone to
new candybar shaped phone. The
Xperia Z is frankly a bit of a slab. It's
as solid as you could possibly desire
a handset to be and it has IP57 certification
for water and dust resistance.
Sony really deserves thumbs up
for the excellent placement of the
large on/off button and volume
rocker button, which fall to hand
very easily. A screen this big also
requires a large battery to power it,
and Sony has gone for a chunky
2,330mAh model. The phone provides
5h 48m in our continuous
video playback.
The 441dpi screen is impressive.
Put it alongside any 1280 x 720
Android or Retina iPhone display
and you will be impressed by the
crystal clarity and ultra-sharp definition.
The latest version of Sony's
Bravia Mobile Engine 2 further
enhances proceedings by sharpening
images and reducing noise
when you are looking at still pictures
or video.
With a cutting-edge camera, a
super-slim design and the ability to
withstand life's knocks and bumps
(and Android Jelly Bean to boot) the
Xperia Z is a phone that's got me
totally charmed by the phone says
Kartik from MRCE
The front of the Sony Xperia Z is
minimalist - showing off only a
Sony logo and front-facing camera.
The rear is a little busier, with various
tech info printed on it, plus the
Sony Xperia logo, an NFC badge,
camera light and the all-important
lens. Being a waterproof phone you
won't be able to remove the battery.
And not only that is comes with a
great line of best specs till date some
of them are: a quad-core 1.5GHz
Snaprdragon Krait processor, 13MP
camera, 16GB storage (expandable,
woohoo!), screen size 5in,
1,920x1,080 display. 2GB RAM,
water and dust-resistant, 1080p HD
screen with Bravia Engine, LTE and
integrated NFC connectivity
options.
Sony has increased the resolution
on the Xperia Z to 13MP and is
using its Exmor RS stacked image
sensor technology on the phone.
The tech allows for a larger light
sensitive layer which should theoretically
result in better photos both
in bright and low light.
Sony believes in quality and
assures the best one can think of
one proof is its NFC one can connect
with other NFC enabled
phones, speakers, LED's etc just
with a single touch of both the
devices.
One awesome thing which I discovered
while I was checking out
this amazing phone at a store was
that one can view desktop pages
clearly and easily without any problem
of zooming and can read the
whole text in the page.
Like any handset covered with
glass front and back - it's not Gorilla
Glass but some other type of toughened,
shatter-proof glass. Frankly
speaking The Xperia Z is all about
the glass front and rear; Dragontrail
glass on the front and the more
common Corning Gorilla Glass on
the rear.
The ports are spread out with the
headphone jack on top, the SIM slot
on the right hand side top followed
by standby button and the volume
rocker and on the other side are the
micro SD and charging ports.
Some features which I personally
don't like about Xperia Z is the narrow
gap between the screen and
chassis that includes the earpiece
and mic cut-outs. With time there
are chances of dust and dirt collecting
there. Another thing is that
Xperia Z is a fingerprint magnet and
can sometimes get to feel a bit
sticky. Buy the black one and you'll
be forever polishing it. I'd suggest
going for the white unless.
The iPhone 5 is the only real competition
in its class for now, until the
imminent arrival of the new HTC
One or Samsung Galaxy S4, this is
probably the most advanced
Android smartphone out there and
if you are not having a tight budget
you must go for it.

The phone is priced at Rs 36,990
but if you have a knack of bargaining
then you might get it for 35,500.
If this gadget is what you need to
have then head to Croma and Spice
stores; they may offer you Bluetooth
hands free and other accessories
with it without any additional
charges. Tell them that some other
seller is giving a waiver of Rs 500 or
giving you a memory card, scratch
card and ask them if they can offer a
better deal (Its worth giving a
try!!!!!!!!).And if you are going to purchase
it from a Sony centre, you
may still ask for extra gift items. For
devices like Xperia Z they are always
giving music Cd's and other items.

WISDOM OF THE
VISIONARY
Dr. O.P. Bhalla visions his thoughts and envisages
a future where the students acquire quality
knowledge which will help them to be placed in
high class Companies in the Corporate world
Over the last 15 years we
have grown from a
University of modest
ambitions and accomplishments
to a university of energy, optimism
and self-confidence. With
new courses added over the years
we have faced many challenges
and grown from strength to
strength with the support of highly
qualified teaching staff, an over
supportive Management and infra
structure which is world class.
There has always been an aspiration
to excel in all fields by providing
quality education. We leave
no stone un-turned whether it is
providing good library facilities or
lending assistance from research
analysts to our students. The focus
is on practical knowledge which
readies them to face the challenges
of the Corporate world.
Our aim is to invite Corporate
giants like Larsen &Toubro, Maruti,
TCS, JCB, IBM, SPACE group just to
mention a few. The Corporate
Resource Centre (CRC) under the
leadership of Major Gen. Bakshi ,
not only approaches the multinationals
but also ensures that a maximum
number of students are
placed. Packages are lucrative but
at some stage the challenge for us
is to get the students motivated to
face the tests and interviews. A lot
for growth and development'.
There were 6 tasks
namely :Global Discussion,
Global Screen ,Global
Paper ,Global Change
,Global Action and Global
Voice. The challenges
included grilling non-stop
discussion rounds, presentation
rounds, providing
practical solutions to water
related problems, webcam
interview with leading
Green Business tycoon.
Emaad emerged victorious
after successfully meeting
all the challenges.
An excited Emaad says -
"I am looking forward for
the day when I will be able
to dedicate my life for the
cause of humanity." He is
full of gratitude for the
of effort and hard work is involved
in bringing the Corporate to the
University Campus but sometimes
the students are dis-interested for
reasons which we often don't
understand. At this stage, the cooperation
of parents is what we
would ideally like. When parents
can mentor their students to
accept challenges and face interviews
with confidence, we are sure
the battle for jobs and placements
will not be difficult at all, because
we are confident of the grooming
we have provided to our students.
If we work in a three cornered triangle
which involves the students,
parent and the management, I am
sure we will be able to surpass our
milestones.
We all know that real academic
achievement is more complex,
based as it is on the interplay of
discovery, debate and individuals.
Success is inherently about people,
in our case the academic staff
and students have enriched this
institution. Our academic staff
and students will remain the most
precious asset that this University
possesses.
Best wishes
Dr O.P.Bhalla
(Chancellor , MRIU)
Management of Manav
Rachna especially his
motivator, Dr Amit Bhalla,
Vice President, who
encouraged him at every
step. He extends a big
THANK YOU to his 'next
mother' Principal Dhriti
Malhotra for her sincere
effort and constant
endeavour in making this
trip as the most cherishing
one in his life.
Young Emaad Muzaffar
of MRIS 46 (Grade X) is
growing leaps and bounds.
This energetic young boy
seems to have 'Midas
touch' and leaves everyone
spell bound with his sincerity,
dedication and a
strong urge to do something

ROHIT AND HIS
WRITING SKILLS
Emaad seeking the blessings of Dr. OP Bhalla
Rohit Sharma, An ex- student of CITM
made his colleagues and, his teachers
proud by releasing a book titled 'I LOVE
YOU'.
Rohit was always fond of writing, he says as
he released hisbook on relationships on 13th
February 2013 at the B-block Auditorium at
Manav Rachna International University
Campus. Congratulating the student, one of
the senior teachers of the University said,
"we are delighted that a student has
released a book which is being nominated
for Commonwealth B ook Prize 2012"'said
Mr. Atanu Mohapatra, HOD of BJMC.
"Te Amo...I LOVE YOU is all about RELA-
TIONSHIPS. It's about True Love, Unending
Trust, Honest Freiendships and beautiful
bonding between parents and children,"
said a proud Rohit who was thrilled that he
was getting so much support from everyone
around. It was a rare opportunity
where the author was present to discuss
the contents of the book on its release.
Rohit also signed many a copy to satisfy
and make his colleagues truly happy with
his presence. Special discounts were being
offered on the book which cost Rs 100 per
copy.
The Novel 'I LOVE YOU' is published by
Mahaveer publishers and to know more
about the book visit https://www.facebook.com/TeAmoTheBook.
COMMENTS ABOUT THE BOOK
A comment by Hindustan times about the
novel reads, "Te Amo...I LOVE YOU" is a
roller-coaster ride".
A GLIMPSE INTO THE BOOK
The book tells us the "Love Story of Aryan
& Isabella and reminds us of Romeo &
Juliet".
It is said that LOVE changes LIVES forever!
Well, it certainly does for Isabella and
Aryan. They meet. They fall in love. But
soon they realise that love is all about
Sacrifices, Efforts and Hope.
A sacrifice, which Isabella makes for her
Family and her love, Aryan..A sacrifice,
which compels her to stay with Ethan-the
man she hates most, and the man who tortures
her every day!
An effort, which Aryan makes to rescue his
love, Isabella, from the dreadful clutches of
the extremely powerful Ethan, and his
vicious gang.
A hope that persistently flares in the hearts
of Isabella and Aryan, a hope to stay
together, forever.
But will Isabella's selfless sacrifices bring
any good to her, or her loved ones? Will
Aryan's death-defying efforts be successful?
Will Isabella and Aryan's eternal hope
eventually come true?
Let's unfold together a fascinating saga
about passionate love, honest friendships,
and ruthless animosity-a story about happiness
and togetherness, hatred and revenge,
sacrifices and solitude, efforts and hope.
Rohit Sharma is working as a software
engineer in NOIDA. He has been fond of
writing since his college days. When asked
why he choose the topic of romance for
writing , he said , "
Most authors these day ,write on social
issues and not on romance. This book is
not on love of college lovers, or young couples
, it is for everyone. It is about love
between different relationships which exist
in a family.".
This book is a good read for those who
value different relationships and understand
the importance of maintaining good
rapport with different family members.
All you need is grit and determination and you can cross the hurdles
in life no matter how difficult these may be.
THE LADY
WITH THE
IRON WILL
Belonging to an
orthodox Haryanvi
family may be good
in many ways, but if you
belong to the female gender
then education is what you
can only dream about ------. It
was the motivation of her
mother and the strong support
and encouragement from
Dr. O.P.Bhalla, that Neeraj
Kumari has been able to prepare
for her PhD and will
soon become one of the
youngest Doctors in her own
field ---
Neeraj Kumari belongs to
the kind of Haryanvi family
from Faridabad where she is
the first woman in her society
to have taken the bold step to
indulge in the field of education.
Not only has she completed
her Masters in Human
Resource Management but is
preparing for PhD and will
soon be granted the status of a
'doctorate' . "For a girl belonging
to a Jat family , education
is more or less a taboo," says
Neeraj who is now working as
an Assistant Professor at the
Humanities & Management
Department at FET
"My book titled "Employee
Satisfaction and Growth
Analysis: A live study at Tata
Steel" was published in
August 2012. I am extremely
grateful to Dr. O.P. Bhalla,
Chancellor, Manav Rachna
International University for
being my source of inspiration.
Under his patronage; I
was able to bring out this
book, "says Neeraj.
Neeraj and the (H & M
department are organizing a
one- day "National
Conference on -- "Quality
standards of private technical
educational institutions" to be
held on 4th May, 2013. Neeraj
is working as Conference
Convener for the same project.
"The theme of the confer-
ence is same as my PhD title,"
she says.
Neeraj Kumari has been
able to publish and present 20
research papers in
International and National
Journals and Conferences and
she would like to thank all her
Faculty members and well
wishers who have helped her
and made this possible. Her
special thanks to Dr. M.K
Soni, Executive Director &
Dean and Prof. Naresh Grover,
Director, Faculty of
Engineering & Technology,
Manav Rachna international
University. Also she thanks
Prof. I.K Kilam. Dr. Chhavi
Sharma, Director, Faculty of
Management Studies and Dr.
Ruchi Malhotra, HOD, Faculty
of International Programmes.
This lady has an iron will of
her own and accepts that a
woman is incomplete without
being a house maker. "But
women are good multi-taskers
and they should be given the
chance and the appreciation
to manage the home front
and work front with equal
efficiency," she says with a
glitter in her eyes. "My mother
has been my biggest motivator.
She was not allowed to
continue her education and
always wanted to fulfill her
dream through me," she says.
Neeraj is lost for words when
she refers to the encouragement
and support that she
has received from Dr
O.P.Bhalla. "His vision , his
words of wisdom have made
my education complete. With
his support and perseverance
in making me see beyond the
horizon have seen me where I
am today," she says.
The moral of the whole situation
is : all you need is grit
and determination and you
can cross the hurdles in life
no matter how difficult these
may be.

Faculty of Management Studies,
Manav Rachna International
University in association with
Fortis Hospitals organized a workshop
on "Issues of transformation
into Womanhood" to celebrate the International
Women's Day 2013 on 8 March 2013. On this auspicious
occasion the entire gathering honoured
,Mrs. Satya Bhalla, Member of Board of Governor,
Manav Rachna Educational Institution, and felicitated
her as a 'Woman of Substance' for her contribution
in the field of education . Mrs Satya Bhalla
humbly accepted the honour and in her own words
saltuted the women in society and said, "Women
multitask to perform several roles with perfection.
Naturally, they undergo immense stress and face
health concerns. This is a commendable initiative
by Fortis Escorts on the Women's Day which will
provide women with precious information that will
ensure their physical and psychological wellbeing."
To encourage the woman and her active participation
in the community, Dr. Chavi Bhargava
Sharma, Director, FMS said, "There is a much

need for respecting women, every woman is
empowered and there is need to have equality. A
woman is not born to servitude to men and
shouldn't be abused and made to feel as an
object. A modern progressive world needs equality,
women should know their self worth, and she
should refuse to surrender."
Eminent speakers from Fortis Hospitals, Dr.
Samir Parikh, Director & Senior Psychiatrist-Mental
Health & Behavioral Sciences; Dr. Nisha Kapoor,
HOD and Senior Consultant-Gynecology and Dr.
Amit Dhawan, Facility Director, Fortis Escorts
Hospital, Faridabad were eminent speakers at the
celebrations
Speaking at the seminar, Dr. Samir Parikh spoke
on "Life Management: A vision for the Self".
"Where there are differences, there can't be equality.
We have created a system full of pressure and
multitasking, if we want to change then we have
to accept the reality. Upbringings have to be
changed, to teach boys that women are not an
object. Merely, making rules doesn't change a
society," said Mr. Parikh.
Dr. Nisha Kapoor took a session on "Better care
of women in the changing world - Aspects of
Women's Health". She said, "Women's health and
other gynecological issues make girls aware of the
changes in their body."
Dr. Amit Dhawan spoke on Fortis hospitals and
the tie-up with Faculty of Management Studies,
Manav Rachna International University and looked
forward to continual relations.

FIRST PHD
FROM MRIU
Manav Rachna International University
achieved another milestone in the academic
world. The achievement is again a memorable
one as the first PhD was on the works of
Mahatma Gandhi.
Dr. Subhash Kumar of 2009-10 batch Ph D scholar
has been awarded PhD on topic entitled “Gandhi’s
Practice of Media Ethics and Its Relevance in India”. He
has been working on the subject under the supervision
of Dr. Atanu Mohapatra, HoD, and Faculty of Media
Studies. The PhD degree was conferred by his
Excellency, Jagannath Pahadia, Governor of Haryana. It
is a matter of pride for us that the research work has
been appreciated by eminent Gandhians and most of
the libraries of NCR and other academic institutions
have shown their desire for a copy of the thesis as it is
an innovative research and extremely relevant in the
field of Journalism and Mass Communication. “I am
extremely grateful to Chancellor, Dr O.P.Bhalla for his
constant motivation and support. Without the right
kind of academic environment, it would never have
been possible to achieve my goal. I am truly thankful to
The Management of MRIU ,” said Subhash.
“It was hard work but the hours of toil were enjoyable.
And when the PhD finally came through it was like
Dr. Subhash Kumar receiving his Doctorate
from the Governor of Haryana
a dream come true. To have the title of “Dr” before my
name was something which I will be able to cherish all
of life,” says a beaming Subhas. Speaking on the occasion
Dr Amit Bhalla, Vice President inspired Subhash
with his motivating words and told him that this was
the start of a new chapter.
The Vice Chancellor, Dr N.C.Wadhwa said, “It is
always a special moment when the first PhD is awarded
from any University. It is a double pleasure when the
topic is on Mahatma Gandhi and his ethics.”
The Dean, Prof Umesh Kalra congratulated Subhash
and extended his warm greetings on the occasion. The
HOD said, “Subhash has been a meticulous worker and
his hard work has reaped the fruits it deserved,” said Dr
Atanu Mohapatra.
