Holiday misspellt!
Holidays bring fun and memories for a lifetime, even when nothing goes as per your plans
The connecting bridge gave-in, reservations not confirmed, traffic wouldn't move, beehive let loose, technical snags had you stranded, the perfect off-road idea turned a wee bit scary.

Bringing you a few holiday 'Tales from the Crypt', selected from across the campus grounds.
Messmerising
The mess of PU hostels are all set for a revamp with a proposal to send their cooks for refresher courses! Now that’s some food for thought
