Query: Hey Amma I am studying in hotel management college and I have no girlfriend but I want to make one still there is no girl around me what do I do please tell me…?

Response: Appaa, the above would have been sucche simble query to answer if this macchi was studying in an engineering collage. You want to make a girlfriend, build one da; it’s what those lads in engineering are doing. But the aforementioned chemeeen from chettinad is quite the desperado. So, here’s hoping a transformation from Raj Koothrapalli to Charlie Sheen.

Little one, come out make friends get to know the ladies around you. It is highly unlikely that there aren’t any girls in your cirgle of acquaintances. Like those extremely cheesy ads, can’t help going cheesy, Amma likes the fondue da; anyway, make friends with girls, girlfriends can come later on. Otherwise if you keep these current of current feelings on a high tide then let me tell you, girls will find you as shallow as the Mullaperiyar crisis!

Finally Amma likes it how this is a macchi- who is actually learning to cook those spicy dishes- needs Amma’s help to light the fire. Fear not, Amma is here to help you only da, yawl the best!

Admissions 2013

Sanskrit honours redesigned under the FYUP

By Shaily Sharma July 7, 2013

Sanskrit, as everyone knows, is an ancient Indic language. Also referred as the language of Hinduism and the Vedas, it is the classical literary language of India.

The makers of the Four Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) however, have given Sanskrit a new form.

Under the FYUP, there will now be various courses in theatre, self-management, Indian scientific heritage and dramatics by the Department of Sanskrit, University of Delhi. Any student from Sanskrit Honours will study these courses as a part of Discipline Courses – I, which includes core subjects. There is also an introduction of archaeological subject matters such as Indian epigraphy, paleography and chronology. Students will get a chance to study climatology, ayurveda, ecology, archaeology and yoga with this modification.

“In Discipline-1, from the total of 20 subjects, 18 are intact and changes are made to 2 of them and in Discipline-2, students will be able to learn subjects like Yoga, Upanishad, etc, which will make them understand their culture better,” said Dr. Punita Sharma, Associate Professor, Sanskrit Department, Sri Venkateshwara College.

28 colleges of the University offer B.A. Sanskrit (Honours) as a course and 40 colleges will teach Sanskrit at Discipline 2. There are many part time courses run by the University which includes Diploma and Certificate Course in Sanskrit.

“According to me, students in Second Year (III Semester) should be given free option while choosing their subjects and choices should be made from all the subjects being taught at the college, removing restrictions, so that the main purpose remains undefeated.” added Dr. Punita.

The sole purpose behind this redo is to change people’s and students mindset about Sanskrit as a subject and to make them realize its grandness and importance in this new world. Also, this is to ensure that students keep up with the demands of the job market scenario.

Humouroscope: July 7th – 13th, 2013

By DU Beat July 7, 2013

Aries

The examination season has left you invigorated. Becoming a part of a street play society will help you channelize your energies in the right direction.

Taurus

You have spent all your life shining with academic excellence but your luck seems to be running thin this summer. Chanting the name of Thomas Edison and Charles Dickens while bathing is a good remedy.

Gemini

There’s nothing like a loving relation. Your stars are indicating that you either have or will find an affectionate boyfriend very soon. It’s best if you go to LSR or JMC. There are too many distractions out there. Ignorance is better than abstinence.

Cancer

The stars aren’t favoring you this examination season. Getting into SRCC is very difficult. However, if you are willing, Aatma Ram Sanatan Dharma College is offering 20% rebate.

Leo

You are highly straightforward and headstrong. You’re likely to enter into a fight with a close friend. It’s better to let him/her have it their way, for a change. Wearing a bracelet made of fake animal claws will ward off evil spirits.

Virgo

There is no clear evidence as to what the cut-offs hold for you. Keeping a class 7th maths textbook under your pillow at all times will boost your luck.

Libra

You’re likely to set the social calendar on fire. No party or bunking scene will be complete without you. Throw in a few attendances, and your semester seems to be a smooth sail.

Scorpio

Getting into a college of your choice doesn’t seem to be a problem but getting out of it does. It’s better to give up your BBM and WhatsApp while you still have a choice.

Sagittarius

You seemed to have gotten yourself into a relation that even though is heading nowhere, is hard to wriggle out of. Fighting the inevitable is futile. Let nature take its course and focus on the small hapinesses in life. However, eating onions and not brushing will save from doing things you don’t want to.

Capricorn

You will be spending more time outside the gates of other colleges than your own. You will have friends in colleges that other people aren’t even aware of. Life is good!

Aquarius

There are a lot of PowerPoint presentations and excel sheets coming your way. Brush up your Microsoft Office before the deadlines start dangling over your head.

Pisces

Keeping all those years of much enjoyed female attention aside, you are likely to attract a female who will be difficult to shake off. Wearing a sunkissed green shirt and yellow jeans on the first day of college will ensure that you steer clear off her (or any other girl, for that matter).
