This edition of Sidhay serves as a time capsule, taking us back into the history of our ancestors, highlighting what we might experience in the future as we dive deeper into the wonders of technology, while also magnifying the details of our present by discussing the onset of biodiversity loss and by parading our fresh graduate Alumni — the emerging leaders and pioneers of our nation. We also feature in our gallery the UPB cats and campus sceneries to bring our fellow Isko the culture and the prestige of being on the campus (even virtually).
