As the first light of 2026 breaks over the frost, we arrive at the quiet finale of our winter chronicles. This issue serves as a bridge between the seasons-a hellos to the new year and a gracious final bow for Aurora. Much as the celestial spectacle it is named for burns brightest in the immediate hours before daybreak, this final issue captures the culmination of our musings. It is a 'closing of the book' just as a new calendar opens, preserving the stillness and the stories found within the cold before we step forward into the shifting tides of the year ahead.

This final gathering of stories invites you to explore our diverse landscapes one last time.
There is a chilling, lingering afterthought about survival in ‘दिल्ली की जहरीली हवा : हर साँस एक संघर्ष’ in Sovereign Tales, delivered by Aakarshan Kumar. The pinch of economic realities is experienced in ‘Inflation Fatigue’ by Ana in the Fiscal Forum. Gourav Kumar Ghosh ignites a candle in celebration of the literary rebellion in ‘The Uncomfortable Muse: Mahasweta Devi at 100,’ in Connoisseur, and in Globetrotter, Dipanshu Agarwal writes about the fleeting nature of constitutional reliance in ‘न्याय की नीलामी: संविधान की दहलीज पर दम तोड़ता भरोसा।’ Finally, in टिप्पणी, Mithali Raj writes about the intangible currency of emotion in ‘Emotional Economies of Love.'

Read, reflect, and let the stories stay with you through the passing of the season. ❄

नववर्ष की दहलीज़ पर खड़े होकर बीते समय की हलचल में स्वयं से ईमानदार संवाद ही सच्चा स्वमूल्यांकन है। अधूरे सपनों, छूट गई बातों और असफलताओं के शोर के बीच यह समझना आवश्यक है कि हमने केवल खोया नहीं, बल्कि बहुत कुछ सीखा, जिया और सँजोया भी है। आत्मग्लानि और पश्चाताप में उलझने के बजाय, अपने अनुभवों को स्वीकार कर उनसे आगे बढ़ने की चाह ही आशा का पहला कदम है। छोटे-छोटे, सच्चे और ईमानदार संकल्पों के साथ नए साल का स्वागत—गौरव कुमार घोष () द्वारा नववर्ष के अवसर पर प्रस्तुत यह संपादकीय हमें स्वयं से ईमानदारी, संतुलन और सकारात्मक दृष्टि अपनाने का संदेश देता है।

"There's really no such thing as the 'voiceless'. There are deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard" - Arundhati Roy

As members of NaPS, we chase stories that remain buried, stories that yearn for attention amidst the mindless clatter, waiting for someone to listen. We listen for the echoes in the silence, the tremors beneath the bustling noise around. Journalism begins when one keeps an open eye, an eye that does not just see, but observes.

The News and Publication Society invites the K25 batch to join a community that believes in amplifying these suppressed voices.Through editorials, interviews, and design, we aspire to bring change in the society we live in.The change that often begins as a feeble murmur, a hesitant question or a provoking sentence, that refuses to die down.

We’re looking for passionate and dedicated folks to join NAPS under the writer, designer, reporter, and web developer wings to further our cause. Because stories live only when someone dares to tell them.

22/10/2025

With utmost pride and enthusiasm, the News and Publication Society welcomes its latest group of storytellers, committed individuals eager to inject new energies and strong voices into media and journalism.

As we start this new chapter, we eagerly anticipate uncovering stories yet untold and voices yet unheard. Cheers to an expressional year, an impactful year, and limitless opportunities. Welcome aboard, Team NAPS!

As the festive season comes to an end, the voices of celebrations drown out the cries of despairs. Durga Puja is a 10 day long festival that celebrates life, truth, empathy and justice. For some, however, the festival is anything but the values it represents. In many northern states of India, animal sacrifices are a norm. It is seen as a symbol of devotion to the goddess of righteousness. Moreover, despite the glamour and artistic beauty of the Durga Puja pandals, these become a hunting ground for predators. Maa Durga’s sword rose to silence the demon’s violence, then why does devotion to her still demand the very blood she sought to end? Embark on the exploration of the ties between the goddess and hypocritical nature of humans with Anjali ( ) and Atul ( ) as they question the injustices faced by animals and women alike.
