Aparoksha, IIIT Allahabad 3.64

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes".

Our ancestors, who lived thousands of years ago, created the bridge that led to today's modern technology. The advancements in technology not only provide a stimulus for the betterment of the living standards(,) but also exhilarate new ideas and vistas and act as a motivating factor for further enhancements. Technical Festivals are a great medium to inculcate these technological advancements in young minds and thus feeding an arduous tomorrow.

As Far as literal meaning is concerned, ‘Aparoksha’ is a Sanskrit adjective that highlights perception. It refers to the intuitive expertise - one of the seven stages of knowledge. Apparently, Technology is a direct consequence of imagination, perception. Where Technology fostered several miraculous breakthrough in various influential zones of society, there Imagination has brought mankind through the Dark Ages to its present state of civilization. Whether it is Kekule who dreamt about a benzene structure or wright brothers who invented aeroplane, every paragon is beneficence of imagination of an erudite. A strong imagination has the power to mould a pile of junk in a masterpiece.
