4. COVER STORY │ Interview Of Our Dear Principal
│ Deblina IV Yr and Deeksha Yadav II Yr
Date: 08th April 2011
Time: 13:43 hrs
Venue: Principal’s Office
She is vibrant, energetic, enthusiastic, listens to everyone patiently, decides judiciously and above all a woman
with a vision. Yes, you guessed it rightly. She is none other than our dear, loving and charming Principal
Dr. Geeta Joshi. Here goes the interview…
Ques Good Afternoon ma’am. How has been your experience at AIL and what is your vision for the
future?
Ans Good Afternoon. My experience has been wonderful and different and absolutely beyond my
comprehension. Since, it was a shift over from teaching profession to the administration and also
because I come from a civil background, so I was apprehensive during the initial fifteen days and
not very positive but gradually after having understood the purpose, aim and target of the college
and after having interacted with the authorities, I started feeling at ease. Moreover, I have always
enjoyed interacting with students. My vision for the college is to raise the standard of college
higher and higher.
Ques Ma’am, since you remain very busy, do you find free time to pursue your leisure
activities/hobbies?
Ans Since, I have a single daughter who is studying in UK and my husband who is a businessman by
profession also stays out of the country most of the times due to his business, so my
responsibilities towards my daughter and home are not that much.
Ques What are your hobbies?
Ans I like reading new books, going for a walk and working out at home during my free time.
Ques Ma’am, had you not been a teacher, what else you would have been?
Ans I completed my LL.M in the year 1983 and then tried for civil services but I missed it by 22 marks in
the interview. So, I chose to pursue teaching profession. Moreover, positive thinking,
determination, dedication, hard work, self-confidence and faith in God are always rewarding and
fruitful.
Ques The theme for the upcoming issue of AIL Reporter is ‘Unidentified Flying Objects: Myth or
Reality’. Ma’am, do you believe in UFOs and what reason would you like to state for your
answer?
Ans No. Frankly speaking, I do not believe in Unidentified Flying Objects because I believe in facts.
Thank you ma’am for sparing your precious time from your busy schedule. It was completely our pleasure
and honour.

Charisma │ Garima I Yr
Aah!! The topic of UFOs is a very unique and debatable one. The idea of existence of UFOs is a very fleeting one which
doesn’t have a very distinct and formulative identity. The issue of this debate is whether UFOs or what I may call as the
Unidentified Flying Objects, a myth or are they a reality? I stand at a point where I cannot say what might be true and
what not. We all know that most of the stories of encounters with the unknown are from America, the rest of the world
being a sleeping contributor to the subject of UFOs. But what I really think is that we can never be sure of what’s out
there in the space and beyond. We, so to admit in truth, know so less about ourselves and earth that we cannot be sure of
what is outside our world. The popular question regarding this is that, ‘Are we alone in the universe or are there more
living souls out there?’ This question hasn’t been answered. It would be affecting us all drastically if there was
something which we know is there but we still are not sure that is it really going to meet us in the coming years. Will it
be a friend or a foe? The space scientists, NASA and many other research centres are trying to find out an answer to this
question and also to the main question, is this really a reality or just a myth? Is the reporting of so many incidents really
true or not?
A survey of a sample group taken in our very own college determines that they do believe in the existence of the UFOs.
A detail regarding this is as follows:
Do you believe in the
existence of UFOs?
yes
no
maybe
This sample survey concludes that we all do believe to some extent in the unknown and its existence. In my opinion also
the UFOs do exist and they are a part of our own reality.
