My Visit to Delhi

Hello everybody...Today I want to share with you about my first day in Delhi. I reached Delhi in the morning on 24th March 2008. I was not used to the city at first, especially with the traffic which was always a big problem when travelling. A few months later we had do go to Goa for a holiday but we missed our plane due to Delhi's horrible traffic. I had almost decided that Delhi was the worst city to live in but I forgot about this after seeing the beautiful beaches of Goa.

When I returned to Delhi after a few weeks, I was again reminded of Delhi's dreadfull traffic when our car was hit by a bus. I had almost given up on the idea to stay in the city. But after some time passed I became more used to Delhi. There are many good thing about Delhi like the markets, malls, discs and of course my workplace, etc....and now I don't want to leave the place for anything. Now I feel that Delhi really is a Dilwalon ki Delhi.

Blogging Ideas

Blogging may be quite difficult as many times one is faced with writers block. So I have included a few pointers that could be kept in mind while blogging. You could write about these when you cannot think of what to blog about:
1. Write about a Personal experiences: - tell a story. The more dramatic it is the better. This you may conclude with a lesson you learnt from this experience, For eg: your experience at tbs, freshers party, tour of Delhi, etc.
2. Let a great photograph inspire you. Behind every great photo is a story. You can take any photo and write about it in detail. The more different the photo is the more likely it is that others would read about the article. Also you can enclose the photo.
3. Comment on something in the news. This can be something global or something that is specific to India or Delhi.
4. Review a book, movie, mobile phone, any other popular device
5. Report on an interesting conversation. You meet lots of interesting people daily; there is always something that someone may have told you that you may want to share.
6. Make a seemingly overwhelming task simple. Often there are easy ways to doing something that less people are aware of. You can write about such tasks. For example, how to cook something, tips for travelers from out of station, tips on how to use facebook, orkut, etc
7. Explain the rationale behind a decision. You can write about something you did and explain why you did it. This can be quite interesting for other who may also learn from your decisions.
8. Own Contributions: You can send your own contributions if it is jokes, poems, photographs etc.
Gud Luck and keep blogging....

Freshers party at tbs

Saturday, 22nd August, was the Freshers Party at tbs. I got the honour of being one of the judges at the event. It started at around 2:00 pm, when all the students started arriving in the dress code: strikingly casual, with some coming in formals...though not looking less striking. The morning was quite hectic for the tbs team with all the planning and stuff but all was done and ready for the new tbsians.

The first round was the intro round of all the participants. The second round was the talent round which was superb. We, the judges were quite surprised at the students confidence and talents...with the dancing, singing, jokes, acting, sher-o-shayari, own poems, etc. The third round was the Q & A round which ultimately made winners of Joheb and Swati who were declared Mr.Fresher and Ms.Fresher....Congrats guys!


All then took to the dance floor and danced to the latest rocking bollywood and punjabi numbers with many clicking photos and taking video's which they would treasure forever!(phone mein sambhal ke mat rakho....virus aa jata hai .......send them to me...the best pics will be displayed and if u want to say just anything send me a mail at : catherine_tbs@rediffmail.com
