5 years in Delhi University

This is the place that many 17 year old students in India dream to end up in. We have all heard stories about this place from our seniors, relatives and friends - stories so pleasant that one can't help but wonder - is life in Delhi University really that amazing?

DU, the heart of Delhi, is a university that is extremely difficult to get into, but even more difficult to get out of - mentally, that is. Established in 1922, the university started with a small number of institutes, and currently boasts a network covering 77 institutes and over 200,000 students. The university admits the most elite but diverse groups of students from all over the country, and has given us many notable alumni - Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and our very own Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

So back in 2012, when I got an opportunity to study in this prestigious university, I gladly took it. I had the chance to study in the older and more popular campus of the university - North campus. Needless to say, DU welcomed me with open arms. In no time, I was hooked to the always happening, fast paced life of the university. I figured out, in my early days, what I wanted the next 5 years of my life to look like. And they were exactly what I wanted them to be - but let's not get ahead of ourselves. I was filled with a certain vigor, a certain zest for life, and woke up in the morning with a smile on my face, eager to hit the campus which was waiting for me.

I studied hard for my exams, prepared well for my future, got in touch with my creative side, and participated in all cultural activities as well. This is what DU does to you. Students in Delhi University are not simply students, they are socially, personally and culturally aware, sensible young adults, and they stop at nothing to turn their dreams into reality.

I will always cherish the last 5 years here, they have turned me into the person I am today, and I am sure that the university will keep up its standard of producing more such responsible adults.

My opinion on - Inferno by Dan Brown

[Warning - Contains Spoilers] Released last year, Inferno is Dan Brown's fourth book in the Robert Langdon Series, the other three being Angels and Demons, The Da vinci Code and The Lost Symbol . Inferno isn't much different from the others, it was a page-turner like all his other books. The story takes off with Langdon waking up in a Hospital in Italy and suffering from retrograde amnesia. A female doctor named Sienna Brooks lets him know of his whereabouts and accompanies him in his journey which includes a sequence of interesting events, involving, of course, a lot of codes and symbols, and the story picks up pace thereafter. There are various puzzle pieces that Langdon needs to put together, which are made up by a ludicrous (also, dead) Geneticist named Bertrand Zobrist, who [SPOILERS] wants to cut down the population of the world by four billion. He commits suicide right at the beginning of the book, but not before creating a plague by the means of which he wan...

21-Day Blogging Marathon | Day 1: 5 Things That Make Me Happy

In the midst of the world locking down, and given the additional amount of time on our hands, I have decided to participate in a 21-day blogging marathon. This is inspired by the 30-day writing challenge on https://lifeentirely.wordpress.com – I have picked up some cool and interesting topics from this blog and customized them to suit my own style. Hope you enjoy it! Day 1: 5 Things That Make Me Happy I like to observe all the things around me and I greatly enjoy the little pleasures of life. Here I am listing 5 random things that bring me a lot of joy: 1. Books, bookshelves, bookstores: I find books to be very beautiful objects. What’s not to love about them? The smell, the feel of the pages, the happiness they give you when they are neatly stacked on a bookshelf next to each other, arranged by genre, author or even color. The sheer number of stories and characters they hold within themselves, and just knowing that you can get to be a p...

Entrepreneurship in India

Editor-in-chief of MiLLENNiAL magazine, Britt Hysen, writes - 60 percent Millenials think of themselves as entrepreneurs, and 90 percent of them consider entrepreneurship to be a mentality. Let's take a look at the latter half of the sentence. Entrepreneurship as a mentality. This is what Entrepreneurship is perceived as in today's day and age. New, innovative and unique ideas are flowing everywhere, and those bringing these ideas to life are millenials, creative and fearless, looking for the double bottom line of making profit as well as providing a valuable service. Look back two or three decades, and the picture is completely different. It was a time when most college graduates were satisfied with the safety of a well-paid job, and didn't dare to look outside of it. Entrepreneurship was considered a phenomenon only pursued by the ambitious Steve Jobses of the world. So what has changed in the short span of twenty, thirty years? The Techno...
