The next best thing

I know, I know my friends think that it is not 'cool' to be associated with the Folio in any form, and I think they have legitimate reasons to think that way. Folio has not been the coolest thing around the campus. At best, it served two purposes, some pompous display of English's lexicon from professors or frequent rookie writings with a lot of grammatical mistakes from student body; who obviously need a lot of help. However, all this is about to change, this time around. And no the reason is not because I am the part of editorial team, okay partly it is! But for the better part, they have got a great ensemble of talented team members from editors to writers to graphic designers. They all have great ideas sprouting out like weeds. That is why; I am very excited about the new edition. It is willset a precedence of how to run a good university magazine. If you are a writer and have nifty ideas then here is platform. You can send in your writings to me or forward it on the email provided on the official blog. We are going to make this magazine about the students and write about things that matter and can assist you on campus. I will probably be doing the most outrageous story on campus, keeping my fingers crossed for that!.
This illustrious team is going to make sure that something worth reading comes out.  So, get your pencil and paper ready and send in your writing. Make sure you don't send in a boring piece on how to be sober, after a hang over. Although, it is a read for AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) maybe more along the lines of....ummmm...I don't know, difference between coolness and weirdness, do give examples. Nah, I was kidding, write your heart out. We are looking forward to your awesome pieces; do you have what it takes?

FOLIO Participated in the Societies Fair 2010



FOLIO Team participated in the Societies' Fair being conducted by Director Students' Activities, FCC. All the societies set up their stalls, banners and colorful charts to specially attract the freshman and first year students and opened their membership for them. However role of FOLIO was bit different from the other societies in the event as FOLIO doesn't offer membership, all the Formanites are already members of FOLIO and get the magazines and invitations to other FOLIO events free of charge. During the event FOLIO team distributed the complementary copies of FOLIO 2008 and 2009 to the newcomers. Also lots of interested students filled and submitted their Participation Forms at the stall. FOLIO team also distributed plenty of colorful paper slips having the URL to the FOLIO online survey form: www.tinyurl.com/folioform Students are actively participating in this survey form. We are getting lots of useful suggestions and helpful feedback from there. 
FOLIO's stall was a huge success in the event and kudos to all the FOLIO team for working in perfect coordination and generating the enough interest in FOLIO 2010 which is about to publish as well as spreading the word out that FOLIO 2011 is going to be very innovative and we are desperately looking forward for creative people, especially for writers and graphic designers.
