A Day of Sharing and Care ❤️ Sometimes, a shared meal can bring people together in the simplest way. On 16 October 2026, Naivedyam 5.0 brought the spirit of World Food Day to life through food, kindness and community. Organised by the Rotaract Club of R.V.C.E., the drive brought together Rotaract clubs with a shared purpose: to support people in the community and spread the joy of giving. Meals Made with Care 🍲 Freshly prepared pulao and kesari bath were shared with the residents of Nayandahalli.

Every part of the distribution—from preparing the food to serving it—reflected the effort and generosity behind the drive. The visit also offered an opportunity to meet residents and share a moment with the community. Care That Reached Further 💛 The spirit of giving also reached children at S...

A Two-Day Adventure of Clues, Creativity, and a Whole Lot of Fun! Sometimes, the best ideas come from seeing ordinary things differently.

A Holiday, A Blank Page  There are only two kinds of people during a holiday: those who finally get to do absolutely nothing, and those who suddenly realise they have way too much time. From 4th to 9th September 2026, Quillusion gave RVCE students something to do with those long, unplanned holiday hours - turn them into stories. The premise was simple. Pick a theme. Pick up a pen, or open a blank document. And see where the story takes you. Two Prompts, Many Worlds 💫  The event gave students two directions to take their stories. They could lose themselves in Fictional Realms, where doors could appear overnight and strangers could know more than they should. Or they could turn towards Stories That Matter, exploring questions of war, survival, nature, peace and the kind of change that begins with one person. With around 90 submissions, Quillusion brought together students writing in English, Hindi and Kannada, each approaching the given prompts in their own way. And perhaps th...

Scribblings on forearms, solving math and laws, Chided by teachers for our ink-smeared flaws. Yet we walked home with swagger, no shame in the mess, Tattooed with numbers, a scholar's careless finesse. The sun shone bright when our scores were full, Each step a march of triumph, confident and cool. From the bus stop to home, we'd proudly stride, Sharing tales of the day, with laughter as our guide. The noon sun's heat, it never burned deep, For the joy of returning home lulled us to sleep. To Mum, we'd tell our stories, hearts alight, Her warmth shielding us from the weight of the night. Oh, life was beautiful in its old-school ways, In the innocence of those carefree days. By: Reine Preeam

The burning sun was scorching down on Maria, who was doing her best to wipe away sweat from her forehead. Soiled hands clutched with dirt signaled hours of working the plot. She looked over at Ana, her young daughter, sitting nearby, sorting minute tomatoes that had just been picked. This was a poor harvest this year, but one full of meaning-an earned prize won through survival and determination. Life had always been pretty tough in their little village, but it had only gotten worse with time in the past few years. Cropped plants died from multiple occasions rather than growing this season, and food became day by day scarce. Hunger is no longer a visitor; instead, it became the slouching shadow that would not go away. Maria almost lost hope, seeing all her neighbors and relatives carry out the same common battle. She saw it even in Ana's eyes: that mute longing for a life where food was never a question. One day, though, the workers came to the village, offering seeds a...

Education can be crowned the light in darkness, the only saviour strong enough to lead us through the difficult terrains of ignorance, prejudice and chauvinism. Today, even the young minds are poisoned by the brutal venom of the age-old prejudices and dogmatic views of this barbaric society. In a world drowned in inequalities and incomprehension, one finds oneself constantly worrying about the obscure future of our world led by heartless views and judgements. The only power that we yield against this dangerous and deteriorating darkness is education. Young minds need to be constantly taught to walk the right path and think differently from their ancestors. They must learn from the mistakes of our horrendous pasts and learn the power they yield to develop the pragmatic society of our dreams. These young minds have immense potential to forge innovative solutions and bring about executive, noble and all-encompassing changes in our society. They have the mental and physical str...

Lila was that woman nobody knew what went on behind her face in that bustling city filled with car horns and people racing, but no one really knew what went on behind the face she put up. About mid-thirties now, she was focused on climbing that corporate ladder at that very prestigious marketing firm. Everyone loved Lila; she was always a few minutes early, and nobody left the office before she did. Meanwhile, as Lila poured herself into her job, her health slowly took a backseat. Lila lives on takeout meals, fueled by coffee and late-night snacks, assured that sacrificing health was part and parcel of the pursuit of success. Sometimes, she dismissed the occasional bouts of fatigue, headaches, and restless nights as characteristics of a driven lifestyle. "I will rest when I am successful," she would reassure herself while her body whispered for attention. One fateful day, Lila fainted at her desk. The office was thrown into a frenzy as her coworkers rushed to her ...
