Here we are with the 2009-10 issue of Surbhi, the annual magazine of the Indian Student Association at Oklahoma State University!

Sweet memories, glorious achievements, contemplative thoughts and poignant moments: all of these and much more fill the pages of Surbhi! It also brings forth to its readers a chronicle of the events that ISA has been a part of in the past few months and will be in the days to come.

Go over the pages of Surbhi and you will realize that ISA has been shining throughout in the recent months. A significant observation is that ISA loves to try out new ideas. Be it online elections, Independence Day celebrations for the public, screening movies on special occasions…and now, going online with our Surbhi!

Rohit’s article aptly titled, ISA: Journey Engineered deliberates on the remarkable efforts ISA has made to glorify the richness and indomitable spirit India stands for.

Playing with Passion, Nilesh’s article is replete with ISA’s success stories in the ISO International Games '09 . One feels proud to know of such talented sportspersons who brought laurels to India on this international platform and made her the overall winner in the event for the fourth consecutive year.

Lots of accomplishment to be cheered for! As you journey through Surbhi, Americanized Diwali by Balaji, makes a delightful sojourn. Reminiscent of Diwali celebrations back home, Balaji speaks of how Diwali finds expression & celebration in his life here …a style metamorphosis indeed! 

The fragrance of Surbhi continues… Prashant’s The Walk contemplates on an enigma that a beautiful past brings about.

You will also have ‘yours sincerely’ speaking on the sheer magic that the fall season weaves with colors; and the magic we can create in our lives with certain simple truths!
