5 things only a hosteller can relate to! Going away from home and starting college is a different feeling. However, for those who get the chance to stay in a hostel, the feeling is completely different. From borrowing clothes to staying up late at night, gossiping and chatting, hostel gives you some of the best years of your life. Here are a few things which only a hosteller relates to. If you are a hosteller, you would agree! 1. Wifi blues: Oh, how we all miss home for its wifi and only when you stay in a hostel do you realize its value. So whenever, the college wifi happens to be left switched on by the admin (bless that soul), it’s literally party time for everyone. Downloading songs, movies, and episodes follows. 2. Room checking time: The rumor about room checking triggers a stampede. The hide and seek game begins and you’ll find the entire hostel finding places to hide those kettles and straighteners which we aren’t allowed to keep but ‘conveniently’
put in our cupboards. 3. Searching for food at night: Finding food at night is as tough as finding food in a famine area. Knocking at every door and begging for food seems so natural once you start leaving in a hostel. Stocking doesn’t help because voila, food disappears in minutes. 4. The morning classes: It’s 8:30 and you have a class at 8:45. Relax, you still have 5 minutes to sleep. Because you can magically transport yourself in class at precisely 8:45. And you have no qualms about showing up in class in your night clothes. 5. Birthday surprises: Away from home, birthdays might seem lonely. But believe me, hostel birthday surprises rock. Your friends become your extended family and make every effort to bring a smile on your face. College can be tough but hostel can make everything easy and comfortable.
Is there an original Ramayana? Yama Zatdaw of Myanmar, Reamker of Cambodia, Valmiki Ramayan of India, Ramayan Ballet of Indonesia are a few of the many “tellings” of one of the oldest, most read and most enacted mythological stories of the world: Ramayana. A story of an ideal man, Ram; an ideal brother, Laxman; an ideal wife, Sita and an ideal villain (except in the Sri Lankan Literature), Raavna, has been the guiding light for umpteen since light years. Impacting the lives of innumerable people, Ramayana is “not a single book like The Bible but rather a chronicle of history and a tradition of storytelling.” From contemporary authors like Ashok K. Banker, to the oldest poets like Valmiki, have decoded the story of Ramayana. With a different mix of ingredient each time around, these variants have resulted in a sumptuous platter for the curious to savour. A.K.Ramanujam in “Three Hundred Ramayanas: Five Examples and Three Thoughts on Translation” rightly stated: ‘Obviously, these hundreds of tellings differ from one another. it is not always Valmiki's narrative that is carried from one language to another. The tradition itself distinguishes between the Rama story (ramakatha) and texts composed by a specific
person-Valmiki, Kampan, or Krttivasa,for example. Though many of the latter are popularly called Ramayanas (like Kamparamayanam), few texts actually bear the title Ramayana; they are given titles like Iramavataram (The Incarnation of Rama), Ramcaritmanas (The Lake of the Acts of Rama), Ramakien (The Story of Rams) and so on. Even the structure and sequence of events may be the same, but the style, details, tone, and texture-and therefore the import-may be vastly different.’ Ramayana is like the Earth, round that seems flat. It is like the ocean, vast and deep. It is like the horizon that seems within ones reach. It is like the blue sky, simply limitless. Ramayana and its telling are not pieces of a puzzle but are various fragments that simply coexist to quench man’s thirst for knowledge and learning. It encapsulates a plethora of interpretations, telling and retellings that teach one simple lesson; “Every end is a beginning. Which itself is an end. And which in turn is a new beginning. And so on. After all, as they say, all stories are ultimately linked together. Just as all people are. All beings, all things, all matter, all universes.” Guest Post by Aakriti Chowdhary
Beyond the cliché: English Honours According to popular belief, majoring in English leads you towards an M. A. and Ph.D. in English, after which the staple job is of a career in academics, publishing or performing Arts. English (Hons) is a rigorous course where you are made to cover texts belonging to various periods of literature and their social and historical backgrounds. For most English students who have completed their graduation, it’s hard to relate to avenues that do not involve literature directly. Students of English should be open to a wave of other career options as the course comprises not only of literature related texts but also texts related to political, social and economic opinions. Search Engine Marketing This is a growing industry which is suitable for many English majors. This job requires you to use digital media to market products through online advertising and search engine optimization for companies. You don't need to be a programmer, all you need is a strong analytical ability and creativity in you. Digital Copywriter If you're intelligent, funny and have a way with words then you could opt for digital copy
writing. One can do a masters or diploma in creative writing before applying. Creative social media, blog posts, e-books, web promotional ideas and banner advertisement are some of the things you would be working on. Journalism It’s a myth that you need to take a journalism and broadcasting course to get a job as a news reporter or journalist. This industry values people with good writing skills and who are able to analyze and produce quality work. They also expect you to have a strong researching ability. One can do a post-graduation or diploma course in journalism. Public Relation Another option after graduating in English is to work in a public relation firm. One needs to write news releases, newsletters and find content to send out to social media companies and writing web copies and brochures. Later on you can get into the strategic side of things where the aim is to help companies shape the public’s perception through media. The government also hires PR writers to work in house in order to keep the public informed about the various governmental activities. A course in Mass Communication or Media and Communication
will be a boost to one’s career. Social Media Manager As an English major if you have strong communication skills then this job may excite you. Sports teams, brands, government and companies need people to take care of their social media programs and find ways to engage the public and fans. Brand Manager This job involves taking care of the development and promotion of their brands and products. People with a good grasp of the English language and good communication skills are suited well for this job. One has to have an understanding of marketing; an MBA in marketing will definitely help. Job Sector Even though a large number of people get into the creative and publishing business after doing English, it can't be stated as a norm. An English graduate can very well manage a marketing job or get into the corporate sector. Your degree should not hold you back from the vast career choices that are out there for you.

Girl Child Day It was a conflicting emotion that we all went through when UN announced its theme of International Day of the Girl Child for 2014, Empowering Adolescent Girls: Ending the Cycle of Violence. The International Day of the Girl Child was recognized in 2011 and now in 2014 we still are at war to end this cycle of violence against women and girls. The good part is that we have recognized it and adapted it to some extent and are working towards a significant change. It is not an easy life for a girl in Delhi, India or anywhere in the world. Being paranoid and at alert at all times has become an almost natural state of our being which definitely indicates to the stressed state of mind we live in. To change this lifestyle, to not be so afraid at all times, to be able to express oneself without being overwhelmed by the pointed
fingers requires a tremendous amount of hard work but just a simple change in the mindset and acceptance. The issue can never be solved in the offensive. Increase in severity of punishments, being covered at all times are short battle won but the war can only won victoriously when we focus on the adolescent. The minds which have yet to be hardened by society’s ideology, these minds can be protected and made aware of their rights, become activist, be the beginning of a generation which does not need a day to protect its girls. At a student’s level our contribution can go beyond the customary likes and posts on the social media. It needs effort, may take time out of our social life but in the end it is worth it. I have mentioned below a few organizations that
you can approach if you are really interested in contributing towards the empowerment of adolescent. If you do take it up, I promise you will not only help in their empowerment, you will definitely come out as a stronger person. Know Your Body, Know Your Rights: The YP Foundation ‘Know Your Body, Know Your Rights’ (KYBKYR) is a youth-led and -run national policy and peer education programme, founded in 2002 by The YP Foundation, that empowers young people to address their sexual and reproductive health and rights. The key focus of the KYBKYR programme is to build young people’s technical capacities to access unbiased, evidence-based information on gender, sexuality, health and rights, enabling them to negotiate cultural and political barriers faced at both community
and policy levels. For more information: Jagori Jagori means “Awaken, women”. Their objective is to have awareness building on violence, health, education, development, and other issues critical for women´s individual and collective empowerment. They also disseminate information and knowledge on feminist concerns to meet the needs of women´s groups, NGOs, and development organizations and advocate on women´s rights and gender equality. Because I am a Girl: Plan International Through the Because I am a Girl campaign, Plan‘s projects attempt to address the barriers to girls completing a quality education of at least 9 years, as well as equip them with the
assets they need to safe guard their future, promote gender equality and improve their lives. The campaign aims to reach 4 million girls directly – improving their lives with access to school, skills, livelihoods and protection. You can sponsor a girl child and also make a donation. Bachpan Bachao Andolan: Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA) symbolizes India’s largest grassroots movement for the protection of children, ensuring their quality education. By 2013, BBA had rescued more than 82 800 victims of trafficking, slavery and child labour and has helped them re-establish trust in society and find promising futures for themselves.

PVR bluO: Of bowling, beverages and gaming The DU Beat team recently visited their premise. The team enjoyed a hearty meal, a terrific bowling set, engaging video gaming trials, relaxing Spa sessions and much more. Our correspondents – Ishaan Gambhir, Iresh Gupta, Ishani Rajkhowa and Ishaan Sengupta share their experiences at PVR bluO! Starters and beverages at bluO BluO offers a wide variety of alcoholic beverages along with a few regular non-alcoholic ones like ice-tea, aerated drinks and the mocktails with which we, the DUB team, started our tasting expedition. The star of the lot was certainly “Sunday Morning” with its sudden bursts of sweetness and the right balance of mango. Trailing just behind was “Alaska
to Sandwiches and Chilli Paneer. The Garlic Bread basket contained four different types of toppings – Mushrooms, Tomato, Corns and Zucchini while the tikkas were quite savoury too. We started off with Californian Fish Fingers and Murg Malai Tikka. The malai tikkas, marinated in cream and cheese were juicy and tender and were easily passed as the tastiest dish we had during our time spent there. Gaming at bluO Accompanied by the right kind of music, bowling at Blu-o was the right activity to rejuvenate. With assisting staff and trainers right by the side of fresh bowlers and food delivered right at your bowling tables, Blu-O ensures its guests have a great time.

Apart from the 24 bowling alleys, Blu-O also offers Foosball gaming, Dart games, Air Hockey and Snooker, which makes it an

With no sound audible from the sold out crowd outside, the Spa Room was completely serene. Dimly lit with candles around, the place has a calm aura. The masseurs seemed exceptionally skilled in their ‘art’ of neck and back massage that we opted for. The room was well equipped with the customized seats for different kind of massage and hygiene was of top priority. Lounges at bluO Play Station Lounge The premise also accommodates recently added Play Station Lounge in collaboration with
Sony where one can experience latest games in the most suitable environment with closed space. The lounge also witnesses launch of new games which attracts a lot of crowd. Karaoke Lounge Unlike other karaoke’s in Delhi, bluO offers a strictly soundproof room and has a variety of sound tracks to offer ranging from Bollywood to western rock music. The spacious seats inside the room can accommodate up to eight people. The microphone and the sound system is of premium quality and the television provided us with lyrics in high definition. There is also an option of receiving food orders inside the karaoke room. We jammed to some Backstreet Boys while we munched on spicy potatoes with honey.
Return of Satyamev Jayate: 1st Episode When Aamir Khan is on National Television, everyone knows ‘it’ is coming. ‘It’ will open eyes. ‘It’ will show the reality that no one is willing to accept, and make it acceptable. ‘It’ will show problems and simultaneously give us hope. ‘It’ is coming. Satyamev Jayate is back again, every Sunday at 11am on Star Plus and Star World. The first episode of the third season was on ’Sports, a catalyst to change lives’. With the recent culmination of the Incheon Asian Games and India performing superbly, with obviously its due share of controversies, this first episode was well-aired. Through a number of real stories and real people, known and unknown, the show and its host gave everyone an insight on what sports has done. With a round of inspiring stories of Slum Soccer, Village Wrestlers, Village Golfer, Magic Bus Foundation and Aged-Women Athletes, Satyamev Jayate brought to light the fact that a game is like an addiction, you
Image Courtesy: www.newtvworld com just have to find your passion. Certain facts like, the existence of proper soccer tournaments for slums, or that our government is inadequate in honing the brimming-cauldron of talent in our nation, made the viewers wonder what is happening in the country. On one hand, our government, which stresses on studies and youth empowerment, fails to recognize and provide impetus for the sport-enthusiasts and achievers. And, here come
the various foundations like Isha Foundation or Magic Bus Foundation that work at the grass-root level, in villages, slums and those nook and crannies where the government should extend its hands in. We stress that kids must play, but they study too. We want achievers in Olympics, but we forget those who have achieved, very soon. We wish to compete with China, but what we are looking at is 6
lakh stadiums and a compulsory referendum on physical health. In short, one should give their children the chance and opportunity to choose a sport, let it not be a pressure on them to excel in both studies and sports, but they should be provided with enough opportunities to test their abilities. Satyamev Jayate has now returned again, bringing with it a hope for ‘change’.
Dear Amma, I am in a long distance relationship and the guy is European. We’ve never met, but we do sext (sex-chat) a LOT. The sext is only textual, though. Could you suggest some really interesting ways to spice up our virtual sex life till we meet next year? Ahh, little idli, I understand your dilemma! Sexting has now become an integral part of relationships, especially long distance ones! Not only are there plenty of ways for textual sexting what with all those free apps and chat platforms, one can even use an app like Snapchat (I believe that’s what the kids are using these days) which self destructs images you click and send to people after a couple of seconds. I think such apps can make your virtual sexting more exciting! Let me tell you more about the art of sexting, macchi. The excitement is in the build up. As soon as both of you get comfortable with it, peel off the orange slowly and remember, the slower you go, the more things get heated up! And the more things get heated up; the better will be the end. You could even try cyber sex- after all what is Skype for, right? (Well, some people do hold interviews too, but Amma thinks its best used for sexting!) If Amma had to offer an extra tip, she’d say, it’s best to use apps like Snapchat for all phones even have automatic memory back up these days! (Yes, Amma is old but also very tech savvy- at least where sexting is concerned.) Let’s just say sexting is the only art which needs to be destroyed once it has been cherished. Stay safe and have fun!

Outstation students attending college first day after mid-sem break to be awarded discount on fees Losing the fight against lack of attendance right after summer and mid-sem breaks, the DU administration is preparing to leave no stone unturned this year. In the same spirit, it has announced that outstation students of DU who attend their classes on the first day of college right after mid-semester break will be refunded 50% of their annual fees in the form of cash. The move has met with a lot of cheer. Bus and train tickets are selling out quicker than Thursday movie tickets, resulting in a slight boom in the transport industry - a BJP MP took no time to term the boom as ‘Achhe Din’. Some students, however, are not content with the fees waiver and are waiting for more incentives like attendance and internal assessment marks. Delhi students are also preparing to launch a protest soon. “It’s suddenly a good thing to be in a college
that charges high fees!” yelled a student sitting atop a DTC bus already ordering things off e-commerce sites. Disclaimer: Bazinga is DU Beat’s weekly column of almost believable fake news!

And now, every phone comes with an mp3 player, it’s as basic as the calculator or the alarm! We don’t need our mp3 players anymore. But many of us still use a computer to transfer songs to our phones. Then there are those, who “Google” a song name with an “mp3 download” prefix (For example, “eyes like yours mp3 download”)! Then begins a series of web surfing, browsing through websites with loads of popup ads, iLivid downloads and other adware junk. And those of us with an iPhone, can’t even to that!

In conversation with DU gold medallist archer and Arjuna Award winner Abhishek Verma
Hans Raj College has always been known to produce sports persons who not only conquer national level championships but also prove themselves in the international world. Once again the college has managed to get itself into the limelight with one of its students, Abhishek Verma, who did his college and University proud by receiving honorary Arjuna Award for his performance in Asian Archery Championship where he won three gold medals. The 25 year old also participated in Asian Grand Prix tournament recently in 2014 and bagged one gold and two silver medals. Abhishek, who started off with his journey as a student at Hans Raj College, went on to become the coach of the archery team of the college and succeeded in proving his mettle when he won one gold in the men’s compound event and one silver medal individually at the recently concluded Asian games. In conversation with Shaurya Sahai, he spoke of archery, how his college contributed to getting him to the peak of success and his experience as a coach. Shaurya: Hello Abhishek! First of all congratulations for gold and silver medal at the Asian Games. How does it feel to being back pride to your country? Abhishek: Fetching two medals at the first games is a big achievement in fact the biggest of my life so far. I am really happy. This was really special for me and my teammates with whom I won a gold in the men’s compound event. Shaurya: How was your experience coaching the archery team of Hans Raj College? Abhishek: I am feeling very proud because I was also a student of Hans Raj College and then I was a coach of my college team. It was an honour to coach, as my college team is Number 1 in Delhi University.
Shaurya: How has Hans Raj College contributed to getting you to this point in life? Abhishek: College has contributed in a great way because college life is very different from school life and here I got a chance to represent my country in World University Games as well as World University Archery Championship. That was the first time I was selected for any games and it was awesome experience for me because when I came back, I felt that I got lots of experience and knowledge about archery, which was all because of Hans Raj. Shaurya: So Abhishek, how does it feel to be an Arjuna award winner? Abhishek: It is a huge honor for me to be an Arjuna awardee. Shaurya: Also, to whom do you credit your success the most? Abhishek: All credit goes to my mom. She supported me at every level. She is my real inspiration. Shaurya: Would you like to give a piece of advice to the aspiring archers in the University? Abhishek: Yes, I want to tell only one thing – Go Hard or Go Home. When I am at the ground I am only thinking about archery. So all do need to practice well and concentrate. Before you sleep just think about yours faults in your game for that day and next day try to improve those faults.
