Of Captions and Tshirts: LDS Orientation '10
If you weren’t in SS at 5pm on Monday… well then, you missed it. There’s no other way really to express that fact, or to escape from it. Come Monday 5 pm, and the Sayeed Saigol auditorium was definitely the place to be, where the LDS orientation was the event to attend, as testified by the scores of freshies (and sophs) who swarmed the auditorium in anticipation. Those observant freshies whose roving eyes had looked beyond the ‘sights’ and had caught the orie...
Flood Relief Rally

And as such, they could have no idea really what...

Her parents were really anxious, and they asked me a million questions regarding PDC(was it a ‘co’ dining area?), the hostels (do they have a curfew?) and how we sur...
The DOs of LUMS
It is a wonderful experience, being a part of such a prestigious university. It really is. The strict admission criterion makes sure that only the best of the best is accepted into this university. The expression of people, when you tell them that you are attending LUMS is priceless. Everything around you makes sure you are on cloud nine when you start your university life; your joy at being accepted into the LUMS family, your parent’s pleased glowing faces, your A ...
