Post June 10th, it has been stressful times indeed for the undergraduate students of Osmania University! Results as such have never been an exciting affair to look out for as far as students are concerned, especially if you were one of those fun-loving grad students with a devil-may-care attitude for studies! As Anirudh, a 3rd year commerce student of Bhavan’s, rightly agrees, “The guy who invented this whole concept of exams and its results deserves to be shot dead! Results bring cheer only to those boring nerds and first benchers, who have... Read→
Pranav and Pavan are mounted on their bikes and rearing to go. In the earsplitting clamor of hoots and whistles from their college mates and friends, they set off on their mean machines! Their bikes glide smoothly over the ground with the ease of melted butter. The thrill and cheers are getting louder and louder by the moment. And suddenly what’s this!? They are no longer driving fast… in fact they are flying slow! With the front wheel raised above the ground, they perform biker stunts one after another with the ease of a seasoned acrobat.... Read→
India, since the earliest origins of religion and faith, has been known as the “melting pot of religions” in the world. Many a religion has had its birth in India and still continues to have strong roots here. Religion is accorded so much importance in India, that it isn’t confined merely to places of worship and religious importance, but stretches way beyond to the extent of being incorporated into political agendas and manifestos, names of people that are often christened after various gods and goddesses, and television channels...

A couple of centuries ago, in the summer of 1884, a visionary Frenchman by name Paul Cambon, came up with a revolutionary idea that changed the way people, the world over, perceived French culture. The idea became an overnight rage and over a period of time rapidly expanded to incorporate more and more countries to its worldwide growing network. From its inception in 1884 to its establishment in India in 1889, Alliance Francaise has indeed come a long way to becoming the most established and reputed centre for learning French as a foreign language....

A few decades ago, yesteryear actress, Sadhana, created a wave in the world of mainstream Indian cinema with her charismatic style. Soon after, her magic faded away and was replaced by the oh-so-beautiful Asha Parekh. That phase too eventually lost its sheen. There were many more sensations waiting to take Indian cinema and its audience by storm! Not as much for their work though, as for the hype surrounding their hairstyles. Whether it is the ever-famous fringe popularized by Sadhana, or Kajol’s KKHH look, or Esha’s Dhoom makeover, fashion... Read→
“It Is Your Kind Of Game. Play It On!” That is the kind of thought that triggered “SOCH ’08” into action, which was held over the last weekend at Loyola Academy (Degree).

Forum, of the Department of Commerce, was a two-day event organized on the picturesque campus of the college. The event saw the participation of nearly 24 colleges around the city, which included some of the top-notch commerce colleges like Badruka,... Read→
Vacations come and go… and so do our plans to make them fruitful and worth their while! But yet another long holiday passes without anything substantial, happening. Most of us, most of the time, seem to have no clarity as to what we should be doing or even what we could possibly do in our leisure. Of course, the list of can-dos and want-to-dos is never-ending and continues to mount on. But then again, the list of restrictions imposed on us by the world alike (especially parents), questioning the usefulness of our endeavours, is way longer than... Read→
