YOU don’t want to talk about just the seminars, lectures, practicals and vivas (yawn!) at the end of your university life. For sure you want to be able to brag about the scandalous deeds, naughty-flirty encounters, spicy anecdotes and the lazy fun-filled days. For these are the things you’ll remember years after you’ve passed out. We guess you got the picture. Here’s a list of things you must do while during your university days. Otherwise, it’s as good as coming out without a degree.
Of lines & forms
Understand art through the soon to start appreciation course
EVEN when our experience tells us that there is no other way of expressing what goes through an artist’s mind at the time of creating a painting or a sculptor than colours and lines, we often end up coaxing the artist to express his work of art in words. Little realising that if he were trying to say something, which could have been expressed in words, he would have probably written it down as a poem or a story.
We are the World
Espousing social causes is no longer celebrity domain. There are many little things you can do at home to make
this world a better place
PLEASE switch off the computer, bulb and the fan when you leave the room.
Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth… You have heard these instructions
before and must be following them too. So, we aren’t even preaching it
anymore.
Orkut Strikes
Friendship sites are witnessing the entry of a new group — 40+ lonely hearts in search of soulmates
The world is a little queer? People dating on Internet, irrespective of age.
Middle-aged men back on the dating scene, frantically checking profiles of girls
on Orkut. Just curiosity or are they looking for people they can be friends
with? Lamented as 'lecherous uncles', the circumstances that bring these men
into 'friend hunt' are not always pleasant — a widower mourning the loss of a
spouse or a scorned divorcee with a broken heart.
Old is gold, always
We know, opposites attract. A good girl falls for a mean guy or vice versa. In the same league, a young girl falls for a man double her age. Haven’t you heard of Nikolas Sarkozy-Carla Bruni, Imran Khan-Jemima Goldsmith, Micheal Douglas-Catherine Zeta Jones. And what do they say, young pretty girls falling in love and eventually marrying these old (but sexy) men.
Sisters in law
Three
women vow to prove themselves in the field of law
They represent the true spirit of Ally McBeal, but minus her histrionics. Three empowered women — all set to change the face of the legal profession, or rather the image of women lawyers. Geeta Sharma, Madhu P. Singh and Harpreet Dhillon would have continued with their High Court practices in their respective fields, had they not been struck by the idea of setting an example, by standing together in this men-dominated field.
Matka Chowk
World of difference
WHENEVER I travel, I end up observing things about people and places that will not find a place in any tourist guidebook. However, difference is the essence that makes this universe richer and more livable, perhaps.
Now that I am writing this piece from the soils of America, I feel as if my soul
is trapped in two places.
Hathaway sought advice
Anne Hathaway reportedly sought Dame Julie Andrews' advice before she finally parted ways with boyfriend Raffaello Follieri, according to reports. The Devil Wears Prada star, reportedly spoke to the legendary actress before finally ending her romance with the Italian businessman.
Wah Punjab
Haven’t heard of a Punjabi food festival in a long time. When Virsa, a newly opened Punjabi-cum-Baluchastani specialty restaurant in Phase 9 announces an Dhol Dhamaka Punjabi Food Festival, it is a palatable delight.
First day first show
