If I was a #book by Puja Yadav

If I was a Book

If I was a book,I would like to be a library book, so I would be taken home by all different kinds of people - Cornelia Funke.

The library connects us with the insight and knowledge. Libraries store the energy that fuels our imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspires us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improving our quality of life. For some, libraries are just buildings having thousands of books but for some, a library is the delivery room for the birth of ideas, a place where history comes to life.

The library of Jawahar Lal Nehru University{JNU}, South campus library, Central library, Arts library. These libraries serve their readers with thousands of books of their interests. 

North Campus college libraries are also of worth for students. St.Stephens college is famous for its library, which also houses a collection of rare sanskrit and persian manuscripts.

The South Campus Library, University of Delhi facilitates access for South Delhi residents. A four storey building, in beautiful surrounding at the centre of the campus, offers an congenial environment for study and research. The total sitting capacity is about 275 seats, with reading halls on all the floor along with the collection.

Library Hours: 

Monday to Friday – 9:00 am to 7.30 pm

Saturday – 9:00 am to 5:00 pm

The JNU Library has resources rich in Social Sciences, Humanities and Sciences and provides access to books, journals, reports, online databases, e-books, electronic theses and dissertations. The  library is the “centre of knowledge” of JNU. The nine storey building is surrounded by lush, glossy green trees. It is the highest tower of the campus.

For those who love to be in the  midst of books, these libraries will give treat to their imagination. 

I remember a dialogue from a movie says: 

Books hamari sabse achi dost hoti hain.. Na kabhi demand karti h.. Na kabhi complain.. bass saath deti hai

#Booze North #campus by Vallari

#Booze North #campus by Vallari

North campus is known for its pocket friendly cafes/restaurants but at times it is task to find a decent yet pocket friendly bar/ lounge. Here is a complete guide for an economical booze in and around north canpus.

Urban hub 

Yes, you heard it right.  900 for two including alcohol. They're not only know for their live sports screening but also for the happy hours that go all day long on weekdays. Along with pocket friendly sheeshas they also offer combos which include both snaks and alcohol. Though snaks and main course have nothing special about there taste there sheesha with coffee base makes up for it.

Bromfy public house

It's one of the most popular lounge amongst north campus students. It's not only known for its cheap sheesha and alcohol but also for its nice music and classy ambience. Unlike other bars/ lounges the food has been paid enough attention to and is quite tasty.

PS. Don't forget to try their fresh fruit sheeshas.

The Beer Cafe 

As the name suggests they are known for their never ending variety of beers. The ambiance is very cheerful and not shady like other pubs in league. Though prices are a bit on higher side the service is quick and food served fresh & tasty.

Deez Biryani & Kebabs

They not only serve one of the best biryanis in city but they also conduct regular live performances and sports screenings. The drinks are moderately priced and the service is quite quick. A must visit if you want to indulge in GOOD FOOD along with not so expensive alcohol.

Sinciti ( chill'm)

They are know for their dirt cheap sheeshas and cooperative staff. They food is simple and hygienic. Overall a nice place to sit, chat and fun with your friends or the special one. ;)

Yes, booze is fun and it's okay to indulge in it once in a while but too much anything isn't good, no matter if it's something as good as alcohol. Life is a bitch, deal with it ! 

Tips for #College Notes Taking - by Arpita Singhal

Tips for College Notes Taking

While you might have been able to slide by without taking notes in high school, learning to take good notes is essential for most college students. Taking poor notes, or not taking notes at all, can have a detrimental effect on your grades. Read on to learn some tips and tricks for getting the most out of your classes and readings.

Pay Attention

More essential than any note-taking strategy is paying attention.Focus on what the instructor is presenting, and make an effort to learn the material right then and there:

1. Sit in a place where you can see and hear the professor clearly - the front of class is usually best (it's okay to be a nerd!).
2. Clear your space of any distractions that could prevent you from focusing on the class.
3. If you're taking notes on a computer, turn off your wireless connection so you're not tempted to go online.

Take Good Notes in Class 

Remember that you're a student, not a court reporter. You don't need to write down every word the instructor says.Write in phrases, not whole sentences, and use abbreviations to save time and hand cramps. Here are some of the things you'll typically want to include in your notes:

1. Info the professor puts on the board.
2. Facts you need to memorize, like names and dates.
3. Formulas you need to know, particularly in math or science courses.
4. Details emphasized by your professor (keep your ears perked up for signal phrases such as 'the most essential part is...' or 'this will be on the test').

Take Good Notes on Readings 

You'll have a lot more reading in college than ever before, and you'll sometimes need to refer back to specific passages for class discussions, exams, and essays. Here are some methods for taking notes on key ideas:

1. Highlight or underline text.
2. Use small sticky notes or flags, noting the line number, paragraph number, or first few words of text.
3. Write down info you want to remember in your notebook or on loose leaf paper, noting the page and paragraph numbers.
4. Record your thoughts in the margins as you read.
5. Write down any words or concepts you find challenging and want to spend more time on later .

Organize Your Notes 

Notes are pretty useless if they can't help you find information later. It's essential to write legibly and keep everything organized. There are no hard-and-fast rules for note organization, just find a system that works for you. Here are a few ideas:

1. Write the course name and date at the top of each page, just in case some pages get separated.
2. Keep all of your materials and reading notes for each course together.
3. Arrange your notes chronologically.

Experiment and Find What Works for You 

Ultimately, you'll need to decide which note-taking strategies work best for you. Fortunately, you'll get regular feedback through grades on exams and quizzes. If your grades are good, keep the system you've got. If your grades could be better, do some readjusting.

GOOD LUCK :D

5 #college must haves by Vallari

5 college must haves

College life is the most awaited time of a student’s life,  as it brings one certain kind of freedom , freedom from strict deadlines, rules & regulations of school and of course, school uniforms! While you plan to flood your wardrobe with the trendiest of clothes and accessories , here are a few basic wardrobe essentials which every college going student must own.

 

A big bag 

No, no one goes to college carrying a single notebook in their hands. It only happens in Karan Johar’s movies or may be if you reside in college premises. There is so much you need to carry, your books, assignments, water bottle, umbrella, deodorant, scarf , wallet and of course your make up! Hence a big durable bag with lots of pocket should be on top of your shopping list.

Flip flops 

From canteen to classes, from classes to corridors, from corridors to cinema halls, from cinema halls to cafes, you need to running around. From one place to another. Changing one metro for another. And in these times flip flops come to your savoir; they are not only super comfortable but also let your feet breathe. From flat to platform ones, markets are flooded with flip flops in every hue and color.

Sunglasses 

Along with being great fashion accessories, sunglasses also protect your eyes from harmful UV rays.  Pick one according to your face’s shape and size and up the oomph factor.

P.S- DO NOT WEAR THEM INDOORS.

Lots of Tees 

T- shirts are every college going student’s best friend, no matter how many sultry spaghettis, cute dresses or trendy kurtis you may have nothing is as comfy and cool as a basic cotton T-shirt.

A formal shirt 

While being casual and comfortable is the key for college dressing. There are times when we have to attend a few formal meetings, deliver presentations, appear for interviews and a simple , formal, crisp shirt is enough to take care of all that and makes sure you look a little less messy and well, well mannered.

Though these are a few important essentials what matters the most in every aspect of life is your confidence.

An adequate amount of confidence and a positive approach are the keys to achieve your goal (and they'll also make up for all the trendy clothes you don't own.)

Happy admissions :)

#Admissions at #DU is an amazing #experience by Manisha Panchal

The Path to success is never easy

Delhi University stands for excellence and brilliance.Its the mecca for learning the way of life. The immense popularity that DU enjoys in the country and overseas presently, is hugely responsible for the maddening rush every year at the admissions time. I vividly recall my time in 2014 as a baffled teenager, unknown to the ways of the world, arriving at the famed campus.

It intrigued me! 

The endless hour's lines.
The crowd. 
The gamut of admission seekers. 
The very charm of it all was over whelming. 

The appealing introduction about the college from volunteers and favour in knowing the college premises seems a relief in an unknown crowd. 

The authorities do need to take certain strategic decisions and implement them in order to smoothen the process for the aspirants.

With every passing year, the rush for admissions is increasing by leaps and bounds along with the cut offs. The lucky few get the college and the course of their choice, whereas, others have to settle down for different and perhaps not so likeable options available.


The on campus residence being extremely limited is also another issue of concern for non-delhiites for which they have to run an extra mile.

Admissions at DU is an amazing experience. 

People who have lived it know what I am talking about! :)

How crucial is May and June post #12th #exam results by Jaidita Seth

May and June

College fascinates everyone, it's like this new undiscovered chapter of our life, an unknown voyage, an adventure. But between this exiting time and the life ahead us there is this period of utmost desperation, dark clouds of uncertainty engulf our lives, that period is the Month of MAY and JUNE.

When we are fresh out of 12th class with sweet bitter feelings we await our results and once we have it. We turn to the next phase of our lives "college".

Then it all begins, the desperation to get in, going colleges to college, praying day and night that you made the cut. You know what you got, there's no hope for maybe now, it's time to face the hard truth and decide!

Decide what do you want to do with your life, who do you want to be for the rest of your life, a doctor, an engineer, an artist, a journalist or something else entirely.

It's a lot of pressure and you may feel overwhelmed.

But you know what you'll get through it you'll and you know how I know because  I got in as well.

So don't worry try your level best and remember you'll get in and when you do you'll never want to leave.

5 #Tips for #admission in #University of Delhi by Riddhima.R.Srivastava

5 Tips for admission in University of Delhi

If aiming at admissions in Delhi University than the actual outlook should be beyond cut off but on certain other major choices for building decent career after graduation. Basically, the selection process is one criterion but don’t solely be depended on it and think twice about all your available options and interests. University offers wide variety of courses and is leading a team of 70+ colleges so don’t be worried about the percentage but about other alternatives which one not might tell you personally.

Course over college: 

One inside information for students is on the graduation degree of the university the college name is not mentioned. Although, you are right in opting for a college having great name but compromising with your course will fetch you no bonus points in return. If you are firm about certain significant areas for developing your career than don’t subtle with other courses even if offered by the most reputed colleges.

Brand name: 

Running and hyping about the best DU colleges is not smart enough. I don’t disagree with the fact that these colleges have been prominently making mark over the years and even your parents fancy about them. But if you are taking admission in Hansraj College for B.A Programme which is famous for science streams than you are making a big mistake.

Post campus life: 

Every student has fantasies of a happening and joyous college life but if your course demands off campus colleges as a better preference than don’t think twice. Off-campus colleges are also equivalently surrounded youth oriented places. In addition to that, you can have best of both worlds by attending the major fests and events in campus colleges at the peak celebration time.

Preference to faculty than peer members: One should not judge his/her options according to the crowd or the infrastructure but lay emphasis on the faculty and facilities in the college. Even if the crowd is not happening or intellectual the facilities in the college with help you sharpen your skills. The faculty member will guide you to polish you interest fields and monitor you for better opportunities in life.

Wait for the climax to get a turn: According to the selection process if you do not qualify for the willing course in the first cut off than don’t lose hope. Wait for the last cut off but don’t negotiate with the course and college for avoiding future regrets.

Hope these insides support to make a firm choice and you land in the right place headed in the right direction.

My #Freshmen #Year by Grishma Srivastava

My Freshmen Year….

My first year in University of Delhi was like a roller coaster ride full of surprises, ups and downs, love, adventures and fear.

Getting into DU was like a dream come true, I always dreamt of studying into this kind of university. Being an outstation student it was a bit more difficult for me than all the Delhiites.

The Cut-off Day came and I was through.. Yippiee!!!! Now it was simple for me.. Book tickets and the campus walk as a DU FUCHA was not far away.

But it was not that easy. Trains…. Reservations…. Well Well…. Almost whole India can tell you about the great mystery of booking railway tickets. And as it happened… Here comes the twist…

No reservation???

So what…

The passion to be a part of Delhi University was enough to keep me motivated throughout the journey.

I somehow managed to reach Delhi from Lucknow, the city of Nawabs (without reservation). This journey on track is unforgettable as I kept hopping across the train for seat.

Reached Delhi and here was the day to complete my admission formalities.

After standing in a long never ending line I got in. the college was opening on the 21st July. I was excited and scared.  Scared by the fact that I’ll get ragged, I didn't know what they will do to me. But deep inside I was waiting for the surprise.. Adventure…

Alas!!! I wasn’t ragged… Come on seniors… Thodi Izzat Wali Ragging hi Kar dete…

All I got was a great orientation ceremony and amazing chats with my seniors. I felt all alone and home sick when I came to the capital, everything was new to me the people, E- rikshaw, the metro, and what not.

Accommodation was another task but who cares… I was living as a paying guest with people from all over country. It was all weird at first but my PG became my second family. After a week in college I made some amazing friends, met some great people, went to new  places.

A year has passed and I wonder how so fast I got to know  the reason why people love the Delhi university. The people here are amazing. Every student is one of a kind, DU has got the best college fest season of kinds celebrity guests, shops, games etc.. In our colleges we don’t care what people wear, you can wear a D&G or a Sarojini ka footpath top, no one cares…  The life in the university of Delhi will become a part of your life that you will never forget, it will give you memories that you will cherish FOREVER.

Life Beyond #DU by Yashita Jaiswal

Life Beyond DU

Delhi University popularly known as DU is one of the premier University of Delhi with high standard in teaching. But its not only premier institution in capital there is a life beyond DU also.

Delhi has several options where student can look for. Yes its true that DU has brand name but one should persue course in any university which help them and add value to their learning. DU is not only college that offer best learning opportunities to students. Delhi has several other premier institutions also such as the Jamia Milia Islamia (JMI), Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIP) and the BR Ambedkar University. The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) also offers several undergraduate courses.

Student should try the new upcoming university such as B.R. Ambedkar University. The B.R. Ambedkar University offers specialized courses in the arts and social sciences such as English, psychology, economics and history. Student can also appear for campus placement after completion of their courses through the University placement cell.

For those looking for profession courses at undergraduate level can go for GGSIP University. It  offer plenty of technical and professional courses, including BTech, Bachelor degree in Business Admistration, computer applications, fashion and apparel design , physiotherapy, medical laboratory technology and nursing. IP University as GGSIP is popularly known, admission on the basis of Commom Entrance Test (CET) by the University for almost all the programmes.

Those who want to study in central university can go for JNU or JMI . Jamia Milia Islamia (JMI) has cosmopolitan background with student coming from all part of the country and some from abroad . Admission is this University is done on the basis of entrance test and not on the basis of marks that one has obtained in class 12. Jamia offers offbeat courses such as bachelors degree in Dentistry, Fine arts and Turkish, besides conventional subject such as English, psychology and Political science. Student can download forms from the University website , fill in the details and submit them to the respective department in the University .

JNU is the other Central University which is among the best option for undergraduate studies. It is a School of Language, Literature and Cultural Studies offers BA programmes and honors courses in foreign language such as Chinese, Spanish, Korean, French, Turkish and Japanese.

So there are plenty of universities, one should take wise decision and then select their college because at the end your talent matter not you college.

                                                                                    

#FYUP: A Failed Concept at #DU by Charu Chellani

#FYUP: A Failed Concept

The Siege of Delhi University ended. The campaign started 10 Days and the four year-undergraduate programme is now a history. The protests fell on deaf ears as the DU Administration retreated into the shell, it was perhaps here that the beginning of the end took shape.

Four year undergraduate programme (popularly known as FYUP) was introduced in 2012, which was a move to privatise a public university to enable foreign universities to set up campus in India. FYUP was a boon for the students who wanted to study abroad because in Canada like foreign cities, colleges there need four year undergraduate education but a curse for those students who were not able to study abroad, they have to study four years if they are a student of DU. FYUP was providing bachelor of honours degree and three year graduation programme providing bachelor degree.

In June 2014, UGC sent a legal notice to management, directing the university to immediately scrap FYUP and revert to three year programme. Because of this mess and confusion, the confusion over the admission process in DU, hangs the education future of over 2.5lakhs students. Students were confused and disheartened as no final decision had been taken up so far.

Thoughts about high cut offs are already a tense issue for the students and during scrapping of FYUP, That time they were also facing problems related to their admission procedure.

According to four year undergraduate programme students, they were assured of a world class education, a holistic learning experience, which would improve their prospectus in life ensuring they graduate with a good reputation, but after enrolling for FYUP, students have to sit till 5:00 pm in college for mind numbing classes like for learning balanced diet which no one was interested to attend. Students felt that a lot of their time was being wasted.

No knowledge related to main course subjects and wastage of time on revising fifth standard course was a reason behind scrapping of FYUP.

During reverting of FYUP to three year programme, students of non-maths found difficulty during admissions because after reversion maths was a compulsory subject for honours courses, so many students skipped their favourable honours courses and shifted their interest to another courses, or some dropped year because they did not have any option of taking admission in some other college because it was too late to apply in some other college. B.tech students found difficulty because they need four year graduation but now they are getting three year graduation which has no value.

Course burden has now increased for those students who entered in DU during four year undergraduate programme because now they need to study course of three years in two years.

Students left with many questions..

Why FYUP was introduced?

Wasn't everything checked before launching it?

After all it was a valuable one year to our degree.

In short FYUP was a well-researched scheme. Everything will be better and better after time passes and practice. No one thought to wait and scrapped it which created problems for many students during their admission time.

India needs millions of young educated professionals which will come from university and not from mars.

Get #Foodie @ #North #Campus - #Delhi #University by Baani

FOOD OUTLETS IN NORTH CAMPUS

School is limited to canteen whereas entering into college is like exploring a new market for food.

With yet another academic year rolling in, and a new batch of enthusiastic applicants arriving at DELHI UNIVERSITY, it is delightful to answer one of the most lingering question.

WHAT TO EAT?

Considering NORTH CAMPUS not only a perfect place for the toppers but a marvellous spot for foodies .

Collegwalas are always low on cash, the underneath list of HIDDEN GEMS is really beneficial to explore a variety of food at the rate our pocket afford-

HUDSON LANE:

A lane full of chirpy restaurants attracting the youth of today with its mouth watering food. The lane has subsequent restaurants:

• QD's
• RICOS
• MOON ON SQUARE
• THE HUNGRY MINDS
• YOLO 21
• BIG YELLOW DOOR
• SMUGGLERS

Here people are lavished with delicious variety of food.

TOM UNCLE MAGGI POINT:

 "A VERY SMALL PLACE WITH A VAST MENU "

Just utter the word TOM UNCLE and see the warmest of smile across the faces

It offers plenty of choices of maggi for every day college students.

MOMOS POINT:

Momo’s Point is one of the oldest food joints to have cropped up in Kamala Nagar.

The initial menu comprised of the steamed pork, chicken and vegetarian momos. But as time and people’s palettes evolved so did the vibrant menu, now consisting of fried momos, tandoori momos, honey chilli potatoes, etc. The ultimate validation for the food, undoubtedly, is the queue outside at any given time of day.

Don’t miss the "Spicy chicken winglets and fried pork momos".

SOUTH INDIAN CAFE: 

If you’re craving some crisp medu vadas, or uthappams, South Indian Cafe is a great option.

Easily missed, this neatly tucked away cafe is just adjacent to Gwyer Hall nearly a decade old. Though not so much a cafe, it is essentially a few wooden tables put together, with mouth watering food that doesn’t tear a hole in your pocket. Anna’s kitchen also serves chicken biryani on Thursday nights, after 7.

BILLE DI HATTI :

This place is preferred by all looking for a quick bute without compromising taste .

Billi Di Hatti serves the famous punjabi dish CHOLLE BHATURE with a mouth watering Lassi .

SHRI BANKEY BIHARI BRAJWASI RASGULLE WALA:

Hidden among the lanes of Kamla Nagar this lesser know and hard to find outlet is a must visit for all Indian sweet lovers...It's located right behind Bille Di Hatti and serves one of the most authentic and creamy Rasmallai and soft Gulab Jamun you will find in Delhi.

A #Journey: #FASHIONISTA at #DU by Pooja Taparia

A Journey: FASHIONISTA

How does it feel to be the part of DU’s one of the best fashion society? 

How does it feel to walk on the ramp?  

How does it feel to represent your college in all the fests? 

All these questions are often asked by the people and college mates.. I still remember my first day in college searching and asking each and every senior about the fashion society.

The day of auditions, that nervousness and anxiety all over my body. I remember the lines I was continuously whispering,

"oh goddd!!!! Pleaseeee.. bas aaj select  karwadooo”.

Then came my turn, wearing those high heels, with full confidence and a smile on my face, I headed up for the auditions. 

Guess what? 

Yes, I got selected (LOL) and this was the beginning of my journey as FASHIONISTA.

Designing the dresses, deciding the theme, making the props, all the gossips, selecting of songs, late hour practices etc made the most amazing moments of the society. 

The first show, I thought would be a blunder with the dramatic make up all over my face filled with graffiti’s and that back stage nervousness, I finally took my step towards the stage.. all the spot lights, loud music, huge audience. I just can’t forget that moment representing such a powerful theme of RAPE and my college, a moment of great prestige and we made it! 

We WON!! 

This was just the beginning.

Early morning metro rides, reaching the venues, refreshments, long tiring days.. I experienced it all just in the limited period of 3 months and it seems like forever. 

Two shows a day, sometimes made all the team members feel exhausted though an experience, I can never forget. Slowly our hard work paid off, winning 17 shows  and achieving the position of 2^nd best fashion society of Delhi University. 

My journey as fashionsita is the one I would never really want it to end. It’s just the 1^st year of my college and I got the most amazing experience of my life in the form of FASHIONISTA and it’s not the end.... 

It’s just the beginning.

#breakingstereotypes #DelhiUniversity - By Vallari

#breakingstereotypes #DelhiUniversity

Stereotypes are easy to form, and most of them are formed not only because a grain or two of truth in it but it makes assumptions easier and the joke funnier! Without these assumptions any joke would require long drawn out explanations that distracts from the joke.

Stereotyping is so deeply imbedded in our societies that within a group there is categorization of sub groups.   Delhi university has more than half a century of colleges all having different notions and labels attached to them.

If you are from St. Stephens you are a snob, if you are from SRCC then probably you are a nerd, if you are from LSR then you' re anti men and if you are from some lesser known college than these, then of course, you are the biggest loser on this planet!

Within a single university we form labels based upon someone’s college or course. While the English honors people are believed to be throwing elusive English words in regular conversations the one's pursuing Hindi or Indian languages are looked down upon . ‘University with diversities.’ Right? (Sarcasm intended!)

Well, there is always a little amount of truth attached to every stereotype but it’s illogical to form a conclusion based on those little evidences. Stereotypes along with being misleading are incomplete.

While there have been university toppers from not so popular colleges,  many at SRCC fail every year, LSR girls love and respect men and I have known the humblest of Stephanians.

Stereotypes create not diversity but divisions, and are often degrading for minor groups. Breaking of stereotypes will not break apart the institutions of our society but will build better ones.

Will not world be a better place if one known for is personality rather being judged upon their 'identity' ?  

Think, think!
