AMALGAMATION OF
SADNESS AND HAPPINESS REFLECTED BY MICROWAVE STUDENTS
OF NIT, TRICHY DURING THE ONAM PERIOD
National
Integration of all community was felt
when and all state students NIT Trichy join to celebrate the national festival
Onam normally every year. But this year the calamity touched sky high in the
god’s own country. The kerala needed great helping hand from every parts of the
world. Having all these in mind the truly national, institute students, mainly
the microwave engineering students reflected the sentiments in the form of
traditional Onam flower decoration ( Poo kalam as is popularly known in
kerala). Onam the symbol of welcoming the king Mahabali was technically
celebrated by means of geometrical design and then filling up with the
traditional flowers of different colorsby one section of students. Around 30
research scholars and students worked for about 4 hours and brought out timely
floral decoration of the disaster with traditional “pookalam”.
Research scholars & students from various states with their Athapookalam |
In Onam POOKALAM 10 rings of different
flowers will be used. They are Thumba, Kekkapoovu, Chemparathy, Thechipoove,
Mkkutti, Aripoo, Arali, Sambangi, Hanuman Kireeedam, Chethi. The microwave group
in NIT Trichy considered ten different types of antennas namely Patch, Fractal,
SIW, RFID, Smart antenna, UWB, RFID, Implantable , Spiral and Metamaterial in
place of ten different types of flowers. Infact‘ DHARBA’ grass is considered as
an ANTENNA that bridges the ancestors with the living persons. Mental Telepathy
works purely on Microwaves. In summary there is one t0 one similarity between
the significance of onam pookalam and that of Microwave technology.
Our ONAM ATHAPOOKALAM have come in news papers while our previous celebrations. Here is one of the clip from Deccan Chronicle paper.
