Boost up for Freshers

The excitement of stepping into a new college life filled with surprises, and the thought of getting into a desired college or university is something which runs in the mind of every student after receiving their grade XII board results. Along with this excitement there is also a sense of nervousness and the best remedy to beat those prangs of anxiety is getting a few tips from ex freshers. So, here are some messages for coming freshers from students across Delhi. Have a look!

ADIT VERMA

AIIMS, DELHI

Sweat, Blood, Glory. Getting into AIIMS was the journey of a lifetime. But life, here in my new home, is one giant leap ahead - filled with wonders, adventures, opportunities and friends (who are now family). Hard work and faith (in yourself and in God)- these are the pillars that would support you on this journey that you have set out on. Carpe diem - seize the day!

WILFRED TOMMY

DELHI TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY (DTU)

Getting into DTU has been one of the biggest transitions of my life. It meant getting out of my comfort zone and venturing far into the depths of an engineer's struggle. Amongst all the over saturation and hard work, you truly find a sense of pleasure in the work you do.

For any freshers reading this, I hope they remember that the few years they will spend in college are the years they'll never get back and the one's they'll never forget. So enjoy the most of it.

MANISHA RAI

AMITY UNIVERSITY

Before entering Amity I was a bit nervous and scared as well but then with time and a bit patience I guess I started liking my college. Attendance has always been an issue here and I think I am fine with it now but maintaining 75% attendance is really tough. Campus life of Amity is brilliant and full of life.  The faculty for journalism is quite good.

My message for freshers would be just maintain your attendance here Amity is very strict in terms of attendance if its 75% then it is dot 75%.

SHAILJA KUMARI

SRI AUROBINDO COLLEGE, DU

Getting into Delhi University was like a dream come true and a life changing experience for me. The excitement of getting into DU was slowly simmered during the procedure of the admission -the queue of students, sizzling heat of Delhi, stressed out parents. Aah! But these memories bring smile to my face now. To the freshers- you just need to cherish every moment of your college life. Be patient and don't stress out.

ANUKRITI TIWARI

DAULAT RAM COLLEGE, DU

For me , getting into DU was a big thing. Delhi University is one of the few institutions across the nation which provide the students with a plethora of opportunities. You always get to explore and discover something unique about yourself and the people around you.The admission time is stressful but I would suggest the students seeking admission to focus on the course they aspire. You will definitely enjoy the amazing college life.

GARIMA BAWEJA

KALINDI COLLEGE, DU

It’s hard to forget the freshman year of college life. Getting into college, or I must say getting into Delhi’s top most university is the most versatile and exuberant experience one can ever have!

It is a lot more than the earlier routines of school life, the habits, the workload, the feeling; life as a Duite is altogether a different feeling. In general, it is a time filled with anticipation, anxiety and a whole lot of wonderful discoveries, new people, new surroundings and everything!

My only message to the upcoming freshers is that enjoy your college life to the fullest as it is the best time of your life and yes stay focused on your goals!

AKSHAD VENKATESH

IHM, DELHI

With all the big hotel chains like itc, the taj, the oberoi etc., looking for new hoteliers with dynamic ideas, Hotel management is the best way to take a step towards entering this industry. And if your college is IHM Pusa, New delhi you know you are in the best. It feels great to be here.You get to know and learn many new things that you would wonder about when you enter in a hotel, you get to learn cooking and this is the place where great chefs like Chef Sajeev Kapoor were born.

For the one's who aspire to be a hotelier, hotel management will give you just the right platform to join the industry that has a lot to offer.

VISHWAS SINGH

SRM UNIVERSITY, DELHI

At first it was feeling of ambivalence that I was facing as I couldn't make it to some prestigious IIT or NIT. But this college really gave me a great platform to develop my skills and the right exposure from our talented seniors. Which not only aided me in my endeavours in several fields but also provided me appropriate career guidance with several options. I suggest every freshman to recognize the potential within themselves and the college and take advantage of the all the positive things that are omnipresent here.

RAHUL GUPTA

SRI VENKATESWARA COLLEGE, DU

Well off the bat, entering the college life gives a hell lot of freedom. You get certain amount of money from home as allowance and you can spend it any way you want because your parents think your "big" enough now . And regarding DU, i think its one of the best universities if one has a talent he wants to show to the world. DU gives you a lot of opportunity to show your talent to the world. Seeing the competition in DU is precisely why I've taken up a few hobbies in these vacations of mine so that i can also be part of these societies and clubs.

A message for the freshers "just chill because you will have the time of your life because DU gives you everything you expect from your college life".

#University #Life - Daisy Jaggarwal

University LIFE!!

When I was hunting college last two years after graduating from school, Delhi University was what I chose.

So this is where the DU story began. Kalindi College it turned out to be and I’am happy I made this choice.

DU is basically a school after school.

All of the course syllabus are pre-decided and have been carrying on like that for ages. There is so much of free time that you can run a regular business along with it.

Believe me or not, DU is actually a research university.

There is a very high one-on-one   teacher student interaction. You can just stop and talk to your Professor . I guess it happens in every university but I personally did not expect this.

People of DU scare me.

North Easterners

They are the most colourful people. I personally love their dress sense and the way they keep themselves. They are pretty cool.

DU Girls

No, ‘’DU ki bandiyaan’’ are not all hot model. 

They are people , like you and me.

DU is a very strange place, believe me, what you wear, what you do, what you eat, you move around, No one cares. It’s true for every place I guess.

On winter evening there is no place more beautiful than the college campus.

Believe me ,  You will fall in love.

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.
