Brooklyn Nine-Nine: A Breath of Fresh Air in the World of Television

By

Brooklyn Nine-Nine, with its diverse cast and representation of marginalised communities, is taking the world by storm. It’ss hilarity and breaking of negative stereotypes is something never seen before. The show is about to start with its sixth season and the fans can’t seem to wait!

Have you always been a fan of off-beat comedies like Parks and Recreation and The Office? Do the characters make you love the weird people you encounter in your everyday, melancholic life? Then, hold your horses because Brooklyn Nine-Nine is here. This American television series revolves around a team of detectives based in New York of the 99th precinct.

Jake Peralta is a goofy, mischievous, immature, and an intelligent detective whose favourite movie is Die Hard. His sidekick and best friend, Charles Boyle is the loyal, people-pleaser connoisseur whose vocabulary is not really great. Rosa Diaz is the badass detective who doesn’t believe in showing feelings and emotions and is extra secretive about her life. Amy Santiago is the workaholic, type- A personality who respects her captain more than anyone else. Lieutenant Terry Jeffords is the soft- hearted, muscular, yogurt-loving man who absolutely adores his twin baby girls. Captain Raymond Holt is serious and stern whose one-liners and lack of facial expressions would make you scratch your head. Gina Linetti is the hilariously self-centred administrator who loves to dance and practically every B99 fan’s spirit animal. Hitchcock and Scully are the two dim-witted veterans of the precinct who just love to sit and eat.

So, what makes this show so unique and a must-watch? Well, the list is endless. The ensemble cast is terrific and lovable. Apart from that, it is one of the most ethnically diverse casts on television. The main leads have two black men, along with two Latina women. The show has LGBT characters where Captain Raymond Holt is a happily married gay man and Detective Rosa Diaz is a bisexual woman. It doesn’t promote stereotypical personalities and doesn’t make a big deal about it. The show doesn’t shy away from discussing social issues like feminism, racism, police brutality, and sexism at the workplace and never makes the marginalised groups the butt of jokes.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine doesn’t stress on romantic relationship, needless drama. The relationships it presents are non-toxic and non-abusive where the emphasis is on healthy communication. It prioritises friendships where the detectives respect and appreciate each other for their hard work and talent. Many sitcoms show women characters where they are always at war with each other but in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, they do not tear each other down. They might be different but they always look out for each other no matter what. It doesn’t show toxic masculinity and ‘angry, tough, and heartless man’ as the ideal. It promptly breaks the notion that ‘nice guy gets the girl’. It highlights how men should handle rejection and back off if the women do not show interest instead of pestering them.

The show is a perfect balance of drama and comedy. It has wackiness with an amazing comedic timing. Its multi-dimensional characters and memorable one-liners are out of the world and worth a mic-drop.  The heart- warming scenes would make you smile ear to ear. Jake’s evergreen ‘title of your sex tape’, ‘cool cool cool cool, no doubt no doubt no doubt’, ‘noice’ and ‘smort’ are weirdly funny and of course Gina Linetti is the self-proclaimed human form of 100 emoji whose quirkiness and absurdness takes the show to another level. So, instead of watching hardcore police dramas like Criminal Minds and NCIS, give Brooklyn Nine-Nine a shot.

Hunger Strike Organised by MPhil and PhD Aspirants at Arts Faculty Against Admission Process

By

A hunger strike took place on 1st August 2018 in the Arts Faculty of Delhi University. The protest was against the modifications in the M.Phil and PhD admission procedure, demands against the enforcement of the University Grants Commission’s Ordinance VI by DU has been put forth.

On 1st August 2018, a 12-hour long hunger strike was held at the Faculty of Arts, New Delhi. The strike emerged as a result of the implementation of the 2016 Union Grants Commission (UGC) Gazette notification regarding M.Phil/PhD admissions.
Those who contributed to the protest are against the minimum qualification criterion which requires all the students to have secured 50% marks or more in the entrance test.

The participants of the protest released a public statement before 1st August, where it was revealed that the University of Delhi (DU), as a central university, is not bound to follow the notification. There is a separate selection process, under which the various departments released an Initial Interview List after the results of the entrance test were declared.

This list, however, went on a backburner when an arbitrary notification was released overnight, stating:
“According to the amendments to ordinance VI, VI-A and VI-B regarding MPHIL and PHD, the qualifying marks in the entrance examination for all the candidates (RESERVED and UNRESERVED) is 50%.”

Student movements, thus, stemmed from a collective feeling that the aforementioned notification led to an unjustified hike in the cut-off that brought out a Revised Interview List.
Ordinance VI had been announced in theory in the month of May, and yet there was a lack of information about its implementation in the subsequent forms that were released.

A PhD aspirant, under the condition of anonymity, revealed that some of the Heads of Departments (HOD) were asked to clarify the implications of the ordinance while the students were filling their forms. The HODs assured the students at that time about the maintenance of the previous year’s procedure. When confronted about the happenings, the Heads confessed that there had been no debate, discussion, or revelation regarding the arbitrary enforcement.
The students remain appalled at this lack of transparency.

As per the DU website, the new list had 11 courses where no aspirant could qualify for the interview round. This raised a poignant question for the condition of Higher Education in India, where the new methodology blatantly ignored the gradations and flexibilities based on reservation policies across categories, and put every individual under a single umbrella of 50% marks.

Furthermore, the protestors are of the view that the new DU notification did not take into consideration the papers negative marking, which was absent in 2016.
When the uproar gained momentum, the concerned authorities responded by postponing and cancelling the interviews for PhD and MPhil courses, respectively. The Indian Express reported that the said decision was a consequence of the orders given by the Union Ministry of Human Resource and Development (MHRD), and a meeting was conducted for senior officials. Yet the meeting failed to provide a thorough guideline concerning the next steps.

In the hunger strike, 15 students voiced their disagreement with the way DU was treating the higher educational system in India, and many protestors shared the fear that their futures were being jeopardised for no reason at all.

Those who protested through the hunger strike for more stringent modifications have put forth a list of demands, which are as follows:
1. Complete scrapping of Ordinance VI which states the qualifying marks in the entrance
examination for all the candidates (reserved and unreserved) is 50%.
2. Reinstatement of previous interview lists for all candidates from all categories.
3. Weightage given to written exam to be 80% and for the interview to be 20%.

Aakriti, a PhD aspirant, also participated in the strike and told DU Beat that their group was addressed by the Dean of Students’ Welfare, and a few teachers, but all of them only discouraged their protests, requesting them to wait for further notifications.
According to the collaborative account of the protesting students, the Vice-Chancellor has refused to acknowledge the letters and mails addressed to him, asking for justice in the matter.

Another student, wishing to remain anonymous, said over a telephonic discussion “They redirect us to different places. Sometimes, they ridicule us, they laugh at us, and sometimes they try to reassure us by telling us to contact UGC, MHRD, and others. They have no answers. This shows that there is no transparency in the entire process.”
As of now, the matter has reached the Delhi High Court, and the protesters are hopeful of the decisions that may change after the hearing on 28th August, 2018.

Dear Sex Amma, I am a Fresher to Sexual Experiences

By

Dear Sex Amma,
I am a recent school graduate and a fresher in the literal sense to sexual experiences, and a very eager one at that! All my life I have been taught to associate sex with shame. I hear college is way more liberal than school, especially when it comes to this area of life and this makes me scared. Please Amma, help me. How do I go about this?

My luscious little lamb, you are only what, 17, 18 years old? Amma understands you completely and sympathises with your intimate innocence, which I see, our lovely conservative society has had a major role in protecting. To feel that sex is something foreign and shameful is not unusual; thanks to the way we let our children grow up, despite being the world’s second largest populated country.

Do remember, that these youthful years of yours are probably the best years where you can discover your body sensually and allow yourselves the pleasure  you might not be privy to in the future due to biological constraints.

College is liberal yes, but that also does not imply you should feel any pressure to be overtly sexual. Keep in mind my curious kitten, that sex is pleasurable and needs time to be discovered. Do not allow yourself to be shamed for wanting too much or too little sex. Find other non-judgmental ripe munchkins and talk to them about your sexuality. Don’t be embarrassed about being naive about sex. Remember, every cat was a kitten once, even Amma! Your confidence in yourself is the biggest threat to anyone aiming to bring you down by their judgement.

Be sure of yourself, and explore the venereal edens of sexual pleasure and fantasy at your own time. Amma surely didn’t shy away from it. Don’t forget to be safe and always carry an umbrella in this titillating weather. After all, it’s raining men, women or whoever you’re into!

Amma wishes you a safe and lucky semester ahead!

Beat the Heat and Traffic- Tips to Survive Your Initial Days of College

By

As the college days begin in this torrid weather, beat the heat and travel in comfort with these tips.

As your college commences with excitement, the only hindrance would be the unbearable heat and humidity of the Delhi weather. As different modes of vehicular transportation will be used for your commute, prep yourself for the best.

Here a few tips and tricks to stay hydrated and fresh to make the best of the day.

The most popular way of transportation is the Delhi Metro. They are well-connected and one can reach on time eliminating peak hour traffic. While travelling in metros, ensure you carry a scarf around. The temperature difference can cause strokes or nausea.

Carry your caps or scarves while travelling in auto-rickshaws and buses as the heat can cause great harm. While travelling in your own cars, always carry enough water and ensure proper ventilation in the car. Always keep your sunglasses along, as the sun rays can damage your eyes.

Have a lot of desi-treats like:

  • Aam Panna,
  • Jaggery lemonade,
  • Coconut water and,
  • Jal jeera; among others to be recharged.

These drinks are not only energy providers but have great health benefits as well; they quench your thirst and prevent the excessive loss of sodium chloride and iron during summer due to excessive sweating.

A lot of college canteens serve fresh juices and have a lot of cold beverages to enjoy. Relish in the exotic ‘mausambi juice’ to freshen up.

Whenever your body heats up from physical activity or the hot weather outside, your internal air conditioner turns on and you begin to sweat. And remember, now that your air conditioner is using its coolant (your sweat), it is important to refill the tank — by drinking lots of H2O.

So gear up for the college season and make the best out of it by following these steps.

Myths About College Life Busted!

By

When we have not experienced something first hand, we tend to believe anything that is a popular opinion regarding it. So, if you are a fresher then you tend to believe everything that into pop culture and select Instagram posts show about college. However, not all of what you see is true. Here are some of the myths about college. Let’s bust them!

1. You won’t have to study

Just get your school life done with. Do your class 12 well and that is about it. You don’t have to study at college, you’ll pass all exams!

Let us take this moment to call you out of this misconception. You must or should have been really worried about your class 12 results and you should have worked hard for them. And, just to make sure you give it your all, people tell you that the struggle ends after your school is over. Definitely, college is not as hard as that until the last year. However, it does not mean you don’t have to study at all. Your score from semester one to the last semester adds up to count the final percentage at the end of your college, which will not only stick to your CV for the rest of your life but also play a crucial role in getting you a job or further admissions.

2. Life will suddenly turn into a Karan Johar movie

When your college is about to begin, your parents will take you out for shopping and your friends at college will talk about the freedom and fun you’re about to throw yourself into. With all the amazing clothes and stories given to you, you might begin daydreaming about your college life as one of those KJo movies. Yes, a few moments might definitely be like you’re on the golden screen. However, it is important to remember and be prepared for the fact that not everything will be as glamorous. There will be failures, heartbreaks and god forbid, bad hair days!  But what do all the protagonists do when in trouble? Get back up and emerge out of it!

3. You will get friends for life

This is not true for everybody. You do get contacts for life. You will receive and give several calls to your college mates throughout your life, for work. However, you might not remain tight friends with them. While in college, you will definitely have a ‘gang’ of friends. However, people tend to get scattered and busy once college ends. Only lucky people are able to sustain these lifelong friendships. But, the good news is that you are living in the era of social media. Most of your friends might be just one tap away from you, therefore, you have a great possibility to remain in touch for a long while.

4. You have to defend yourself in this cold world

Your parents are seeing you grow as you enter the new college environment. They have seen and been in touch with your school, earlier. They used to trust the school, its people, and its rules well. However, they now are a little paranoid about college. They will tell you all sorts of precautions you have to take to defend yourself in the ‘cold world’ you’re about to enter. However, it is not true. Do not pull up your guards or over think about anything at college. It will just cause mistrust. College is as warm as a school if you want it to be. There will be well-wishers, there will be competitors like there always are at every place! Just remember to take sensible decisions and really know a person before relying on them. That done, you are good to go!

Academics vs Activities: A Constant Tussle

By

The tussle between academics and activities causes trouble to almost all students in the Varsity.  But why should such a situation arise at all ?

The students studying in the University of Delhi (DU) are among the top scorers in India. The level of competition therefore, is very high. And these students are good not only in academics but other activities as well. Societies constitute a very important part of the college. There are so many students who prioritize societies over classes. That can be a good thing and a bad thing at the same time.

It is difficult to choose academics or activities, if you have to choose one. I write about this choosing one simply because a point comes during college where you end up tripping, trying to balance between classes and society work. It is not an easy task to choose one, of course but when one has his/her priorities straight, it is not such a difficult task too. For example, in most of the colleges attendance plays a very important part in getting you the admit card for sitting in the examination. Now, when you are involved in an active society, you are to commit yourself towards it. Here, a confusing situation arises. Students often find themselves questioning whether they should go sit in the lectures for the attendance or go for the session of their society.

For all the newbies, here’s a suggestion: Take some time for yourself. Do some thinking. Get your priorities straight. If the lectures feel enlightening and you want to pursue your career in academics in the future, chuck the society. You are one human being who can only manage a couple of things at a time. And there’s no moral obligation here. Talk to your seniors if you find yourself in such a situation. They’ll understand if you’re lucky. Likewise, if the society means much more to you than classes, then go for it. Be honest and make your stance clear.

The thing however, is that this is not always a black and white case. We are encased within this system where we have to attend classes no matter how unhelpful we find them. What is the point of sitting in the classroom, listening to a teacher when your mind is focused on the students sitting outside under the light of the sun practicing their music? It is not just the academics that can guarantee us a successful career, after all.

A Rocky Road for Rocky Tuseed’s Presidency

By

Rocky Tuseed’s post as DUSU President has been held ineligible in a recent judgement by the Delhi High Court. His candidacy was being questioned for quite some time regarding criminal charges filed against him. Now finally, it seems some concrete rulings are going to be out.

Rocky Tuseed (or Rocky Tuseer according to campaign posters and graffiti) broke a dry spell of five decades by winning the President’s post with a margin of 1590 votes. However, since the very beginning, his records seemed to have grey areas which raised more than a few brows. Tuseed himself trumped several challenges to get elected and hold on to his post.

To begin with, the Delhi University’s Chief Election Officer initially rejected his presidential candidature, following the guidelines of the Lyngdoh committee, citing disciplinary action taken against him during his undergraduate days in Shivaji College.  This was challenged in the High Court where he was backed by political hotshots like P. Chidambaram and Vivek Tankha. As a result, he managed to turn the tables in his favour, and even generated a “sympathy wave” for himself.

An application by the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad’s  (ABVP) Rajat Chaudhary, however, unleashed a new maelstrom, claiming that an FIR was lodged against Tuseed for an attempt to murder, which had caused him to remain in custody. The court took immediate action issuing notices to the DUSU President and Delhi University. Tuseed in his defence asserted that his name was unnecessarily dragged as he was politically active. Tuseed and the NSUI claim the matter has ended and it is unnecessarily being dragged now. Now finally when Tuseed has completed more than half of his first tenure as DUSU President, a 37-page final verdict by the Delhi High Court has become a barricade on the NSUI’s road to next DUSU election.

The ruling pointedly states, ““The issue raised in the petition goes to the root (of) whether the petitioner (Tuseed) could at all stand for election to the post of president. The answer to which is no.” As reported by the Indian Express, Tuseed’s counsel said they will appeal against the order before a larger bench.

ABVP members have seen this ruling as a major win as this judgement echoes their allegations against Rocky Tuseed aka “a leader who has hardly contributed to anything in the University”, as one of the ABVP media heads remarked.

With his nomination canceled, Rocky Tuseed would have to step down and resign, which might be a fatal blow NSUI’s reputation. The tarnished image of an NSUI leader so close to the 2018 elections might pave the way for ABVP’s victory

Lessons Learned From DU’s Hectic Admissions Season

By

Admissions Season in the University of Delhi (DU) throws us into the real world and teaches us lessons that would benefit us in the long run. 

The months of June, July and August are exciting ones in the Delhi University. The colleges witness crowds of youngsters with bags full of dreams and excitement. With some fear and some frenzy in their eyes, students come to seek admission in a Delhi University college hoping for all their dreams to be fulfilled. It is indeed an enthralling sight to see.

However, the admission time is a crucial one just as much as it is exciting. Students miss to get into their dream college by just a difference of 0.5 % at times. This is a phase of life that no one ever forgets. The regular checking of cut-offs, going to colleges to fill the admission form, submitting the fees, etc., all of it happens under the heat of the scorching sun. The chaos, rush, heat, exhaustion is enough to take a toll on you.  The admissions season is a rite of passage that teaches us lessons that prepare us for the real world/ This time of the year teaches some very basic things in a subtle way. It can be summed into the 3Ps:

Patience

While sitting in front of the computer screen to check the latest updates on cut-offs or standing in the queue to submit the forms and applications, one learns to be patient. Doesn’t matter what chaos is going on in your head, the determination of getting into the college of your dreams keeps you going and dominates over the frustration of the slow system.

Perseverance

The ambitious nature of students helps them get the desired percentage but by coming to the city and realizing/taking in the big competition that exists, one learns perseverance. In the huge sea of students who are just out of school, there are many wanting the same college as you and out of them, many wanting the same course as you. With the limited number of seats and an ample amount of people applying for them, one understands that it is vital to keep trying and that there is no giving up. The whole phase teaches you how to persevere and to do it with all your heart.

Politeness

After completing the tedious task of filling out the forms and submitting them to the respective colleges, when one finally gets into college, one learns to be polite. And this is something that comes naturally to you when you meet all the seniors and try to get into a  society. After all, you wouldn’t want to be blacklisted by a senior by being rude, would you? Interacting with new people with varied backgrounds, one learns that it always helps to be polite. It helps one remain placid and in a way also paves the way to make more friends.

No book or class can teach us such qualities. It is when we are out in the world and have to manage everything by ourselves that such lessons come in handy. After coming to the city, leaving the comfort of homes, one stands face to face with the real world. And the admission process pf Delhi University teaches one how to do so.

5 Useful Ways to Spend Your Summer Without Technology

By

Digital Detox

Noun: informal

A period of time during which a person refrains from using electronic devices such as smartphones or computers, regarded as an opportunity to reduce stress or focus on social interaction in the physical world.

Google’s very reliable meaning search, trusted by millions young and old, is the source for this rather accurate definition for the new digital detox fad.
Exam time proves to be a real challenge for us millennials because it comes with the added challenge of avoiding the temptation of checking various avenues of social media every few seconds. For all those wondering how some of us even succeed at this, there are plenty of extremely useful apps available on the Google play store to curb your temptation of phone checking.

Okay, so we’ve managed to make it through our exams without frying our brains with an overdose of Instagram, so is this the end? Is the following summer break going to be two months of a tech binge? Realistically it sounds about right, to indulge in all the idle sins we’ve been denying ourselves of for the past month, but that’s not how it should be.

Here’s a list of five things you can do in place of switching on that television or picking up that phone:

1. Read a book

As cliche as this may sound, it is proven to be one of the best methods to keep you occupied enough. If you’re not particularly fond of reading, the best way to go about this is to pick a genre that interests you, instead of simply reading something the papers or your friends are raving about. It does not have to be a classic or something difficult to understand, it could even be a comic book or graphic novel depending on your interest.

2.Explore your city

While not everyone has the luxury to vacation during summer, you can surely go on your own mini vacation by exploring your very own city! You are guaranteed to be pleasantly surprised by the new things you discover by simply walking around and exploring. It may seem like a mighty task to explore in the heat, but an umbrella and plenty of lemonade can work wonders. Evenings are a great time to go about an activity like this if the morning sun is too much to handle. Whether you live in a big city or a small one, there’s always some hidden gem just waiting to be discovered.

3. Do some volunteer work

Volunteering is a great way to enhance your CV alongside gaining some good karma. The volunteer work does not have to be with some established or well-known NGO which makes you fill out applications and give interviews. Instead, opt for a non-profit which genuinely needs help for a cause. Your work could even be as simple as getting some pedigree for rescued animals or transportation for the poor from their homes to a nearby hospital.

4. Play a board game

We all loved playing board games with friends and family as children. It’s time to dust off the old monopoly and watch friendships being broken once again with UNO. A brilliant way to not only boost those brain cells but to also facilitate human interaction, these board games get the job done. Great options for board games are Monopoly, Snakes, and Ladders, Guess Who, Scrabble, Pictureka and The Game of Life. And in case you don’t wish to play any of these board games, grab a pen and some paper and relive your childhood with the classic, Name-Place-Animal-Thing.

5. Learn a new skill

Ditch the Youtube tutorials for a second and look up actual skill classes. Whether you want to learn to do the Salsa or learn how to make Salsa, this age and time offer limitless possibilities in terms of skill classes and courses. A favourite among most people is baking classes. A stress-free method to create something delicious the result of which you can even consume, baking classes are great for those with a passion for cooking. Other great options include Pottery, Roller Skating, Painting, and Swimming among many others.

Whatever the method you choose to wean yourself off of technology this summer, a productive distraction will help you feel much better than any screen possibly could.

NSUI Alleges Appalling Infrastructure at DSJ, Deems it Unfit for New Courses

By

The state of infrastructure at the year-old Delhi School of Journalism (DSJ) has been a cause of concern for the students studying there.

In response, Mohammad Ali, State Media Coordinator of the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) and a student of DSJ has come out with a press release describing the worsening condition of the facilities in the institute. The press release describes the low library capacity of 10-15 students, the lack of access to sports grounds by the sports quota students, as well as the administration’s bid to take away the laptops given to students. The press release mentions that these, among others, seem to be grounds enough for not starting an M.Phil and Ph.D. the programme at the institute.

The Delhi School of Journalism (DSJ) which was started last year, came up with a recent announcement to start MPhil and Ph.D. level courses by 2020. Currently, the college offers a five-year integrated journalism course that is entrance-based. It also offers an exit option for students who wish to pursue professional work after three years whereupon they would be given a Bachelor’s Degree. According to a recent report at The Asian Age, the college also plans to introduce short-term courses in photography, video editing, documentary filmmaking, sports, and science journalism by October this year. But, the press release by the NSUI is bound to put a question to such grand-laid plans.

When DU Beat asked Mohammad Ali if the students have ever conveyed their grievances to the administration he said, “We have had a lot of talks with the administration. We even submitted our complaints to the Director in writing, but it has been three to four months and we have seen no change. All we hear are false promises of the fulfillment of our demands.”

According to an anonymous source at the DSJ, the students who were given laptops at the beginning of the first semester for their journalistic assignments were asked to return the laptops at the end of their second semester. “They refused to even issue admit cards to us if we didn’t return the laptops. Not every student can afford to own a laptop and even less so when there are no computer facilities at the institute. In such a scenario, I don’t know how they will manage to open M. Phil and Ph.D. courses,” the source said.

Prashant Yadav, another student of DSJ said, “The press release points correctly to our problems. In the name of self-financing, we have been asked to give fees for everything from desks to chairs. The media lab that is going to be essential for our future curriculum has still not been set up. We do not have any permanent faculty and even those who teach us are not qualified enough to do so. While the campus gets closed at 4:30 pm for us, the students at Cluster Innovation Centre can access it till 7 p.m. As far as the laptops are concerned, I think the DU might reissue the laptops for us in the third semester. However, it is true that we were given no prior intimation before they gave us our laptops.”

Manaswini Yogi, the Officer on Special Duty at DSJ remained unavailable for any comments. However, the last time DU Beat spoke to Prof. Yogi she assured the DU Beat correspondent that the Media Lab will be established by the time curriculum reaches the point where the use of Media Lab becomes necessary.
