Life at GGSIPU

Ever wondered how monotonous yet exciting college life could be?

Here in my campus you'll find almost everything which could make you happy.
It has been a year here yet I'm still exploring the campus. From the humongous ground to the swimming pool, cafeteria to the classroom, staircase to the library and the elevator and the sixth floor.
My campus is so tranquil that anyone would fall in love with it.

Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha Univeristy, Dwarka Sec16, New Delhi, has been my lifes turning point. It was my first step to the future I chose. Mass communication, being my choice of subject. A majors in this subject, has not only given me knowledge of how to connect to the masses but also taught me how to be heard.

But, let's not get into what I do as I'm writing to tell you what all you must do if you ever visit my campus!

Starting with a little history- Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University was established as Indraprastha University (IPU) on 28 March 1998 by the Govt. of NCT Delhi as a state University. The university was named after the ancient mythological city of Indraprastha, which features prominently in the Mahabharata epic. In 2001, the university was officially re-christened as Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) after the Tenth Great guru of Sikhs Guru Gobind Singh.    

According to Times Ranking 2013 Indraprastha University is ranked 12th among the top universities of India. University School of Law and Legal Studies also ranked amongst top 10 law school of the country. Faculty of Biotechnology of university-University School of Biotechnology is ranked sixth in the list of Premier Public Biotechnology Institutes of India. Interesting right?

Yes, a little.

But what would a travelling soul like me be interested in the history and ranking of the university, right? You got me there. The only reason I'm here is for its beauty and tranquility ( although yes, studies too, pffft).

Each corner of this university is absolutely mesmerizing. You must take a hike during the cold winter mornings around the campus. The fog covered roads and chilly breeze would relax your soul. Yes! Relax your soul! The quite environment is a marvelous advantage.

During monsoons, you have to drench yourselves in raindrops and celebrate life for no reason! And yes! It's one of the best times to sip some warm coffee and tea you get in the canteen.

Spring time, is the best time! Sunshine is just about right to keep you warm, while the cold breeze would kiss your skin as if it were your lover and just waiting for you to smile. The blossoming buds around the campus fills it with colors and you will find a reason to be extravagantly blissful!

Autumn, season of the dead much? Well, I'll call it the season of reincarnation! Dry leaves on the ground and dry grass fills my soul with an understanding of how life works. Massive changes are a part of everyone's life. Just inhale, while you sit on an empty seat on the gigantic ground, look around and you will be filled with a ray of hope for a fresh new beginning (just in case you're feeling low) 

Apart from enjoying all the seasons! A must visit is during the cultural festival called Anugoonj! It's the best time of the year. From music to dance, theater to street play, photography to film screening, name it and you'll find it! The amount of talent you'll find here is insane!

Come spend a day in my campus, you'll know why I wrote this piece.

Cheers & keep smiling!
