This is the first poem in a series of poems that explore what the commonplace objects in a student’s life would say if they underwent an Enid Blyton-esque change overnight, and could speak. If my Laundry Bag could speak, It would, first, cough up some dirty clothes And some torn Continue Reading

What words can you use to describe the journey to college? – by Kana
Once you get that acceptance letter and you begin packing your bags the word that comes to my mind is, home. Home for the next x number of years. When you’re in the car/plane/bus/train or whatever mode of transport you’re using to get to your new home, the next word that comes to Continue Reading
Sound of Music – By Nemo
Music: Like a gust of wind on a humid day. Food for the soul. Like a slice of pizza from the food court after having mess food for days. Like binge watching Friends after a long day of classes. Music is like all of this, and much more. This year Continue Reading
Giving the Global University a Chance – By Sue Do Nym
Wherever I go, every place, I need to discover every side of it that I can with my two hands and feet. Because how can you consider loving something you don’t really know? I took a walk at 6 AM on a winter day at Jindal Global University one day Continue Reading
FOOD FOR THOUGHT – BITE! The Food Festival– By Sue Don M
Picture Credits – Hariharan Kumar Sonepat, Haryana. The holy grail of commercial food. NOT.

A Whisperer’s Manual to JGU
Welcome. You are now part of a global institution. To learn the secret behind these metal buildings, well-groomed trees, and international environment, you must learn to look beyond what you see. Yes, beyond the tall fancy flagpole, the good looking architecture, and institutional values, this campus has certain attributes that Continue Reading
In Sickness and in Health (Centre) – by Hedwig
No, this is not me employing exaggeration as a literary device to be humorous. I have literally had it ten times in the past year. I’ve counted. And of those ten times, seven have been on-campus incidents, making the diseasemuch less bearable than it usually is. For those of you who Continue Reading
Convocation – by Hedwig
“INVITATION: Fifth Convocation Ceremony & Founder’s Day Celebration” reads the title of the email. It has been less than a week since I’ve been back on campus, and my mailbox is full of notifications reminding me of the convocation ceremony which also marks the 1-year anniversary of the first time Continue Reading
Is Jindal Nice? – By Hedwig
“Is Jindal nice?” the lady in front of me asks. She’s heavy with anxiety and concern, and her 17-year-old-fresh-out-of-school son is standing behind her and clutching his Class XII certificate and his heart in his hands. “Nice?” I ask her, and blink. I’m not quite sure what to say. My Continue Reading
