THOTS 24-25

All of sudden it happened, my LnD put a notice regarding THOTS 24-25 (Which is our hall Magazine). I didn't see the notice prior but then it was shared in the group, Wait! Did I see my name there? 

Yes, It's my name Sabarinathan Murugan -The Chief Editor. Over the Moon, I never thought that I would be a editor but then i was the chief editor for the maganize. 

In this Blog I would like to share my experience on how the THOTS 24-25 came in a quick span of time. 

The editorial board
Publisher- Mr. Siddarth Sunil (Secretary for Debates and Literary Activities 
Editor in Chief- Mr. Sabarinathan Murugan 
                           Mr. Souparno Bhattacharya 
Section Editors - Mr. Adhesh NCK
                              Mr. Abhishek Nalliah
                              Mr. Adithyan SS 
                              Mr. Bonhoffer Zoyen Scudder 
How it starts? 
It was started in between our exams, a bit challenging right? No, it was all fun we had, the first time we sat on my room with a note book and last year Thots, adhesh told me that we can have 50 to 60 pages maximum and we together discussed regarding the articles, reminiscence, photos, cabinets experience, poems, etc... 
It took two round table (No table was there) conference for us to get the outline of our magazine. 

Execution Processes.
Planning process done,
Next up we need to collect the articles. For that i took around 5 days for everyone to complete their work. The chairman and Gensec report came out well. Then other secretaries as well. Even i wrote an article on my blogging "The art of Blogging". 
Soup's article, juniors article and poems. 
We thought of making our magazine a diverse one so, it includes Tamil, English, Malayalam, Telugu articles and poems. The Reminiscence article was given by Mr. Jaywant Michael who was the Secretary for Debates and Literary Activities for the academic year 1976-77. 

Time to Proof Reading. 
The articles which we collect needs to proof read. Proofreading made me how to handle a pen without affecting the pages. The articles which i proof read was very interesting and i got to know how the individual used their language on the flow of mind in every single words. I would say those are not a mistake, those were their perspectives for their articles. Everyone has their own style by standardization we are tend to affect one own creativity. We used understand rather than correcting. We can help them to understand. It's like a win win situation. 

Designing. 
Designing an article, First of all i thought it was just Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V but then it was big process, designer need a great patience and creativity. Thank god I got Canva Premium which helped us lot to complete our maganize soon. We fixed a deadline to our magazine but the deadline dies twice. 

Printing.
After the final drafting and corrections. We came out with our THOTS 24-25 with amazing cover page, quality articles and memorable photos. It took 20 to 25 days to complete our magazine. Then it was given for printing. I couldn't touch that physical Baby so far, hoping to get mine soon.

Finally the Readers without a reader a book can't attain it's purpose likewise you people have the prominent role for this magazine. 

BTS
Snacks and Redbull filled the dustbin of 141. 
Late night sleep? No Sleep for few days. 
Exam was our antagonist for this genre. 
Arranging lasting meeting in professor Balcony and 141. At a point I brought a table for my room to sit. Summer make the scene more worse still manage to finish. Every ending there will a twist and the twist was farewell (Iykyk). Due to some circumstances i can't work on the last two days but then my team did their best. 
The fun and frolics we had was nostalgia. I was worried a lot for my hall magazine rather than my final exams. Midnight Photoshoots, even cabinets won't get that thing. Searching our president photo.
