InfoLit Logo’s Meaning

The logo image communicates, in a simple way, the human skills to search and access information, not only through traditional means, but also with the aid of information and communication technologies, since it uses graphical references that are recognized worldwide, as are the book and the circle. The first one is used to symbolize the study and the second to represent the knowledge and the information that nowadays arrive to us more easily thanks to the Internet, showing also its social role of communication.

The logo also represents a book, with its open pages, aside with the circle that integrates a visual metaphor, and that represents all those persons who own the cognitive skills to retrieve the information easily and to gain the knowledge that information provides. Discerning viewers may also see a lowercase “i” which is used internationally for information.

The IInfoLit logo is derived from the UNESCO Information Literacy logo.

Making of “Penangunni”

“My Best Friend’s funeral” poem by Naveena Pradeep

I cast a glance

Crestfallen was I

When i saw your face

from the fallen heights

There it was,

Worst nightmare  i ever had.

Waited for it to pass,

Cold!! your face lying in the ground.

Why?I ask

Did you kill yourself?

Now,I wish I had worn a mask.

Tickling, it feels

down my cheeks.

Tears,they say

And i believe.

Why? I ask

Am I crying now?

You are gone…forgetting what was your last task.

You should have said.

To me,your friend.

I could have mend,

Reason for your death.

Now am here,for your funeral

Not knowing really,

Why you went?

Why?I ask.

Again I ask.

Still!!!In peace .

Are your lovely lips.

Here they are

The cops, you hate.

Searching what’s that

Am also trying to seek.

"Interrogation" they have put us under

How it’s gonna be?

we all wonder.

Family of yours,now

Have started their blunder.

Police!!now,they share a stare

Coz tears,they could never bare

Then they themselves ask

Why the hell should we care?

They came to me

ask "Are you  family?"

I nod my head.

"Lover,you must be"

"Bestfriend"

Right then i confessed.

They whisper of me

And you,just then.

I don’t hear it,

I had to pretend.

Accusatory,where the looks they send

"Didn’t confide to you? Your bestfriend"

"can’t guess?Can you"then they go on

Attention,they got,now they have won.

Such and such

cruely they asked

Until i couldn’t take it

And started to cry.

Dawn it is,

Of this day and my life.

Shadow has fallen on my face,

that’s never gonna change in this case.

For all you did,

wish i had way to pay.

Questions, I end with,

For which you’ll never have a say.

Why?Oh why?

Why couldn’t you?

Just tell me why….
