 DU:The Fresher Story


Getting admission to a DU college seems like crossing the finish line of a race that has not yet begun. Well,after cutting through the steeper than Mt Everest cutoffs,why would it not be?

Between the rejoice and relief, comes the first day of college.

We walk past those gates with an air of expectation,independence and nervousness around us. Instead of students high on the cool quotient,we see puzzled students trying to find their way and probably,trying to find themselves.(Myth 1:Busted)

After a few days in college,it dawns upon us that college is NOT equivalent to absolute chill and there is serious study going on.(Myth 2:Busted)

While exploring the whereabouts of our college,we discover a phenomenon called Assignments & Tests which require regular study,just when we thought we were on a vacation from the arduous board examination period.(Myth 3:Busted)

While on the myth busting ride,we experienced stuff,far better and beyond our expectations....

One is the cooperative and kind attitude of seniors as opposed to the infamous bulley image.

Second are the College Socities-much cooler than the cafés at Satya Niketan or Hudson Lane. An escape from the classroom monotony-students coming up with innovative ideas,generating funds autonomously,marketing their projects in unconventional ways and organising mass events-like a bunch of talented and enthusiastic students on a mission. These are just few words to describe how these eminent socities function!

The coolest part is the audition stage where in one corner you see enunciation of cult bollywood dialogues,sizzling dance performances in the other and then cues outside classrooms discussing the grilling PI's.

And then we have the much speculated,splendid freshers'.

Before we even realize ,the place that seemed intimidating in the beginning  starts to feel home like and we embark on a journey loaded with ups and downs,friendships and opportunities that is going to define our lives.

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT Shring Bring Sarvaling ,BhootBhavishyaVartamaanBadling! One can’t resist being driven away by the sense of nostalgia while being stumbled upon this mantra!  It was unarguably the era of entertainment .While a decade has passed on, Shararat, the fantasy sitcom spanning over 5 installments, definitely gives away every 90s’ kid a chance to brag about those good old days. Shararat revolves around the world of fairies and magic. What added to the delight in the mind of its viewers was the subtle comedy and the perfect comic timing. The Malhotra family involving a mischievous ‘nani’ with her impeccable magic chants, a docile mummy who has settled down with the menial jobs she has to perform as a typical housewife , and a naïve and vulnerable Jiya ,whose life has become miserable since the day she is wielded with magic powers, certainly Shararat was a visual treat. But the story had not been far  more convincing without the starry l...

SON PARI

Son pari Mumkin ko namumkin kar de Namumkin ko mumkin Son pari sab hal karti hain Sabki mushkil sab din. Whenever I used to hear this song I used to rush towards my television, because this was my favourite show - "SON PARI" Son Pari was basically a fantasy- adventure TV series. It is based on the story of a little girl name Fruity, who receives a magical gem that, when rubbed, summons a fairy named Son Pari and her friend Altu. Son Pari and Altu start meeting Fruity regularly and have many adventures. They help her get rid of Ruby, a woman who wants to marry Fruity's father, Rohit, for his money. Son Pari is also entitled to save Fruity from Kali Pari ( the main villain). Everyone wishes to have a fairy godmother like Son Pari at some point in their lives. A Pari ( angle) who can solve their problems with a spin of her wand. And this TV show was so famous and loved by everyone  because it used to take us to that fantasy world of angels and magic. This s...

INDIAN MAKEUP TRENDS OVER THE YEARS

From Saira Banu in Padosan, Sridevi in Chandini, Karishma Kapoor in Dil Toh Pagal Hai to our all time favourite Poo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum and Mili in Khoobsurat, the fashion and makeup trends have been all fancy and crazy yet so aesthetic and elegant and these leading ladies are surely 'Goals'.  One of the most significant shifts that  have been observed over the years in the beauty industry is the ultimate evolution of make-up trends varying from vibrant and vivid looks to nude face concepts. Makeup can not be talked about separately when it comes to beauty and fashion,it is an expressive(and perceived to be expensive by men) art, which has evolved immensely over the past century and has vividly been an integral part of our culture. But what have been the major stages of this evolution? Let us take a dive in the past and follow up to the time of the millennials.  THE ERA OF SIMPLICITY(1910) -There was hardly any makeup and plain sarees with little or no de...
