Do you think you are really smart? Well, let’s save the overconfidence. You have a real survival challenge if you are moving to Delhi anytime soon, especially from a small town. The reality of the city is far from why it's romanticized. It is probably one of the toughest places for a student. Especially if you are in DU. Even if you have Tom Uncles, Maggie, and Sudama Ki Chai, sometimes it’s just not enough, and the hype dies down within 6 months. So if you're a fresher, this might just be the reality check you need on how to survive the city as an outsider. Indeed, the city offers amazing delicacies, but the truth is, the Delhi food problem is very real. The way you’ll miss homemade food is going to drive you crazy, and you’ll never know when your next meal comes with a side of antibiotics. Since we are talking food, trying out these places is as necessary as getting a MetroCard. Do not miss out on Chanakyapuri Momo Market Place, Paranthe Wali Gali, or The Chole Kulchewalas in North Campus. These are the hacks you need to know to keep pace with the city.

''DJwale Babu Mera Gaana Chalado'' just got too real for us! Flirtatious lines were thrown at the host, a lot of them! Not that we complain. Let's bust the ''typical clubbing myths'' inside your dirty mind and understand the real trance of music and psychology. We don't disagree on drinking hard and partying the whole night but it's not all that DJing and techno music are about. We said what needed to be said. Maybe just a little too much about electoral fraud and politics. Watch to know what the facade is all about.
