Create a Gtalk link fr the Blog Page

While searching for the widgets for the blog i found a amazing one, The Google Talk Widget
Through this when ever you are online on google talk it will show your status on the blog, so you can talk to the other person through the blog only ..

we need to go through some steps:

1. Login through your gmail account at:


http://www.google.com/talk/service/badge/New#

2.Now click on edit and most Important think: Change your Name :) and select "TWO LINE BASIC STYLE"

3.Change the "Standard" style to "Two line Basic" style so all icons look similar :) and click on "Update badge"

4. There will be a code generated below this window .. send it to me at: ankit.minglani@gmail.com so i can place it on the blog.

Once the blog will be private it will be a cool feature to talk with :)

Ok .. We are moving on now ..

I have something in mind about this blog.. Let me know your suggestions about it


1. As soon as there are 10 of us in the blog ... Lets make this blog private .. new people can join in .. but the blog will not be visible on the outside world without a login.


2. Let every on of us who will be writing about the college .. will post same articles on their blog first and then on this blog, so we can keep track of things.

So i suggest everyone to create a blog of their own .. if you dont have one right now .. it will be a good experience :) for you too.

As an when you create a blog of your own .. post your link in the comments i will add your blog to the blogroll.

3. And lets start writing already :) i will be posting a slideshow of the photographs soon :D i m working on how to exactly make it.

4. If anyone would like to share anything apart from college life .. they are most welcome.. tell everyone about their current environment.. whether it is your company you are working in.. your college .. or your home even .. what you have been thinking all this while ..

keep smiling :) :)

~~~COLLEGE DAYS~~~(Part 4)... Enter an Angel in disguise :)

When I first saw him, he seemed to be too involved in himself and a bit worked up as well. It was on the admission day. He stood two places ahead of me in the long queue, wearing a checked orange shirt and blue jeans. He hardly looked at the people around him and seemed to be in some hurry. He was sweating so profusely in the scorching June heat that I almost fought back an urge to go and ask him "Is something wrong? What's making you sweat so much???" Anyways, he got done with the admission and disappeared somewhere into the thin air.

I didn't see him anywhere on the orientation day and didn't even notice him on the first day of college. I remember that I asked him a question of discrete mathematics on the 3rd or 4th day of college and I also remember how he just shrugged and got back to what he was doing. Next I met him at the xerox shop and when I was leaving the shop, he put his hand out and did a firm handhshake with me,such confidence reflecting from his eyes! Then one fine day, after a lecture, he walked up to me and with that same confidence shot out- "Number de apna". I couldn't believe the easiness with which he said it. I mean, personally I had never met a guy ever who would say that so frankly and easily. Maybe it was beacuse of the kind of place I'd come from, where people don't mix up very easily and it takes years to come to the level of doing a handshake with them. So, here I was, being welcomed to "DILWAALO KI DILLI" by the biggest dilwala ever, none other than - "Mr. ANKIT MINGLANI"!!

Those kind eyes with a hint of unprecedented love for one and all, that soothing smile which made you forget all your worries, those hands which were ever willing to help others, that extreme happiness in the echo of his innocent laughter.... words, I fall short of!!

God could not send my family to Delhi, so he sent Mr. Ankit Minglani, AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE, a person without whom I could not have imagined survival, especially in the initial years of college, in Delhi.

Now that he has made an entry, let me tell you about the very first instance when he caught me while I was in the process of idle roaming around the college. He came to me and again with that same easiness asked me - "poore din aise hi akele ghoomti hai kya??" I just looked at him and gave back a smile. He then forced me to come with him and sit with a group of our classmates in the canteen. It was, perhaps, the beginning of a bond that knew no bounds, it was the beginning of a relationship that would, at some point of time, go ahead and establish itself as an epitome of true and selfless friendship.... Touchwood :) :) :)

~~~COLLEGE DAYS~~~(Part 3)... Enter Nishant Gupta :)

I am supposed to be an ambivert, I keep fluctuating between an introvert and extrovert depending on the situation. We were all new in the college, people were forming groups and becoming friends. It's the most difficult task for me-mingling with new people. In the breaks between the lectures, I either made my way back to my hostel nearby or hovered alone in the college premises.

One such day, when my process of hovering was on, ENTER:: NISHANT GUPTA!!..I will not start by showering any words of praise for this person as I have for others in my earlier posts.. We will together try to analyse and understand this one creature, and maybe we can sooner or later decide on who and what he is.. he he .. So again, ENTER:: NISHANT GUPTA


Nishant(as he sees me walking by) -> Arey suno Anuja
Anuja -> Haan?
Nishant?(waving his hand violently)-> Hiiiiiiiii
Anuja(with a smile) -> Hello
Nishant(sitting on LP stones) -> yahaan aao na

Anuja walks towards him

Nishant ->Baetho naaa

And then in a very meek and low voice,

Nishant -> Tumhaare bina humara dil nahi lagta!!!!!!


(Off the post: Nishant is actually going to kill me for this! Sorry pishutious, this is the reality and you ought to face it ;) )

I pretended as if I hadn't heard his last sentence. And he lived under the misconception that I had not heard it.. Not that he meant anything but this is how this guy is, he will go to any level of craziness and madness to create a light mood. And that is how he has been from that point of time till even today.. I have still not praised him, it will probably come at a later stage and I want to do full justice to it ;)

So, we sat and chat there for some time. We had probably taken the first step towards a friendship that would stay forever and ever. But little did we know then that we were two junglees from the same jungle and that he was BDAA ANUJA and I, CHHOTA NISHANT :) :) :)

~~~COLLEGE DAYS~~~(Part 2)... First Day In Class :)

A plump girl who looked more like a boy with her short hair, in a red shirt and a 3-4th capri enters the class. She is nervous as well as excited on seeing so many new faces. She was shy and hardly talked, just looked at the others and smiled meekly.
You guessed it right! It was me "ANUJA SHARMA" !!

We were given the time table for the first semester and surprisingly, we had classes till 3 p.m. on the very first day! "This is going to be tough!"-I thought to myself.

First lecture: enter a boy in the classroom. We thought he was probably a senior. But then he went and stood near the teacher's desk and introduced himself- " Am Gaurav Saxena, and am going to take your Java classes".. "God!!! Such a smart teacher!!", I could hear some girls whisper. Little did we know then that this young teacher is going to be our mentor, guide and a good friend in the coming 3 years. Gaurav Sir commenced with the lecture.............. AND THEN.... SHOOK THE WORLD, as a pack of seniors enter the classroom and request him to let them spend some time with us. We knew their naughty intentions and kept our fingers crossed. Gaurav Sir was acquiescent to their request and left the classroom. That was it! I remember how over-enthusiastic and united these people were when they entered the room. Nishi, Siddhi, keshavi stood out for me amongst the girls and amongst the guys I think Angad, Lakshay and a few others. They didn't leave even one of us! Amongst those extra-ragged was Saumit, our brother from Bihar. What flabbergasted me was the fact that Saumit gave it all with equal enthusiasm.

I remember Nishant Gulati being questioned-"Who would you choose from these two girls?", as they pointed towards me and Swasti. Swasti, a real beauty!, with those dazzling brown eyes and that extra cut which could blow away any mind! God would have taken a long time to paint her :).. Needless to say, he chose her. And I could sense Nishant Gulati blushing after he'd made the choice ;)

Now, they called me to the teacher's desk. "Tell us your hobbies"-they ordered. I started-"Singing, dancing, swimming......".......... "SWIMMING?????"-Shot out someone. "Chalo swimming karke dikhao..". I lay down with my stomach on the desk and showed them how to swim without water... "Ok now propose this guy"-they said pointing towards Rabi Poddar, another senior.I started- "Aap mujhe bohot achhe lagte ho, mujhe aapke gaal bohot achhe lagte hain,baal bohot achhe lagte hain.Will you marry me?"... That was probably the last time that senior had looked at me, never in 3 years after that he looked in my direction.. he he :D


We dreaded it, but finally we loved it. Thanks to all those seniors. So happy, excited and full of energy they all seemed to be! They injected in us a part of that energy and directly or indirectly shouted out to us-" WELCOME TO HANSRAJ COLLEGE, THE LAND OF FUN AND FROLIC!!!! :):):)

~~~COLLEGE DAYS~~~( Part 1)

It's the June of 2006. The auditorium of Hansraj College, Delhi University is packed with fachchas, semi-pakkas and fully-pakkas.. As I put my first foot inside, a sense of excitement engulfs me.. "this is going to be exciting!!"-somebody shouts inside me.


After the orientation at the auditorium I meet some of my new friends. I really can't recall the others, but Meenakshi was on of them. This girl manages to grab your attention at the very first sight-sleek, stylish, flamboyant, curly hair-very fair :). So together we head towards the canteen. My first impression of DU colleges was that they are known to be full of notorious seniors-who will not miss a chance to rag or gag on a junior. So although my teeth managed to crunch that piece of food in the canteen, my eyeballs rolled from one corner to the other to look for something unusual. And then, as if our worst fears came true, we started to sense some ragging going on(It couldn't have been loud, since there were cameras put all over the college). Poor little things, we managed to make an escape then. But little did we know, that there was lots to come and that there was no escape key on this keyboard!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Coming up soon.. Part 2-First day in the class. Read on :) :).... In the meanwhile help me by adding your own experiences and views... maybe this is how we can relive that incredible past again :)
