Aries Your partner might not approve of your love of smelling petrol.

Taurus If you’re gay, the Supreme Court of India is not compatible with you. It will tend to go yes and no.

Gemini It’s imperative that you attend all the weddings this season.

Cancer If you keep your eyes open, you might just land a job as the tandoor-wala at a wedding.

Leo To win back your girlfriend, you need to out-do Howard Wolowitz’s song for Bernadette in BBT Season 7.

Virgo Wearing a sweatshirt with shorts and bathroom chappals does not make you look like a shareef ghar ka bachcha. Please follow your Mum’s advice and refrain.

Libra Yo Yo Honey Singh was inspired to write Blue Eyez after seeing your drunken eyes at a bar. Congratulations!

Sagittarius It isn’t socially acceptable to go to Dilli Haat and buy posters from the stall at the gate, and nothing from the inside.

Capricorn If you’re a girl, it’s possible you’ve helped your Mum wear sarees a hundred times already in the last month

Accompanying the issue were ‘Iqbal, the humanist’ a talk by Prof. Abdul Haq , Professor Emeritus, Department of Urdu, University of Delhi and a book release- TAZKIRA-E-ILAHI a rare 17th century Persian text by Prof. Abdul  Haq. The first issue of DU Vidha, which is a half-yearly journal, was launched by Prof. Harish Trivedi, Advisor, Academic Publications and the editor of DU Vidha. This journal is a bi-lingual (English and Hindi) issue with “free open-access online”. Vidha in the name of the journal bespeaks the literary forms of writings.

The editorial board consists of Prof. Harish Trivedi, the Editor, Dr Sunita Paul Kumar, Ms Ruchi Kaushik and Mr Vasant K. Sharma as Editorial Co-coordinators and the Student Editor, Paromita Patranobish. The contributions for the journal are invited by email or snail mail in the form of short stories, poems, paintings, sketches, photographs and other literary genres in both Hindi and English. The pieces in the current issue are contributed by students from all corners of the University, be it first year students or those pursuing PhD, with colleges ranging from SRCC to Non-Collegiate Women’s Education’s Board. The contributions are mainly from the students but the faculty and staff members are also free to give their entries.

There were more than 500 entries by the students from all over the university, of which 32 were shortlisted for the issue. The short listing has been a rigorous process of selection. The entries were collected using three ways; direct submission by email, entries that were collected at Antardhvani, the cultural fest of the university and contributions from two colleges- SRCC and DCAC through the literary fests.

“The contributions for the journal are from the young minds which are still shaping up their talent. While short listing we could find some pieces of perfection and were outstanding. Students are really enthusiastic about this initiative and I hope that this gets better and better” said Prof. Harish Trivedi.
