From the Hostel Diary

“Ye safar tha suhana

Ise sametne ko jee chahta h

Firse jeene ko jee chahta h

Woh Warden ka darr

Late nights aur nightouts k pange

Jo hamei hi padh jate the mehenge

Cultural committee ka meeting k liye chillana

Fir bhi hamara usme aur late Jana

Aunty ka gudia gudia pukarna

Mess menu k discussion pr ma'am ka 90 RS Wala funda

Jo hamei aaj tk samajh na aaaya

Subah 8:50 uthna taki brkfast miss na ho jaye

Extra gulab jamun mangna aur

Dosa k liye lambi line Mei lgna dosto k sath masti aur raat ko

Shor hone pr guard aunty ki daant

Woh padmavati ki raatei aur sabki choti-choti baatein

Yaad aayenge hostel k festivals aur

Ye choti si family.....!!!

Kaash hum rok skte in lamho ko Pr

Beet jayenge ye pal bhi Aur

Reh jayengi toh bas kuch sunheri yaadeinnnnn!”

- Palak Bansal

“Gathering in one room for discussions and

celebrations, countless sleepless nights,

special way of celebrating birthdays and

festivals, banging the doors in search of some

food, converting late nights into night outs

and opening accounts in night canteen during

the exams are some experiences that you can

only wish to have again.”

-Manish Jain

From the Hostel Diary

“I will miss not only the friends I made, but

also the people working behind the scenes.

Panditji in our first year who was so sweet

to us and treated us like his own daughters;

Bharti aunty who scolds us when we miss

breakfast in the mornings or do not let her

clean our room ('cause we are always late

for college, duh); and all the others who

make The Hostel ‘a home away from

home.’”

-Neha Agrawal

“Before joining this hostel, 'HOSTEL' was like a nightmare

for me because the things which I heard about hostel was

ragging, like a jail, spoiled mess food and so many things.

But after joining and staying for 3 years in the hostel my

perception has totally changed towards hostel. In short

hostel is like a mini life for me because you meet new guys

here and some of them become your best friends for your

life. Hostel teaches us to adjust, have fun with discipline

and the most important thing how to enjoy life. Your pain

becomes your power when 72 persons are with you. In 3

years of my hostel life I have learnt so many things from

seniors, batch mates and juniors too. For outsiders hostel

is a jail and for insiders it's a different world. At last I

finish with two lines:

PEOPLE COME, PEOPLE GO,

BUT HOSTEL STAYS FOREVER.”
