Hostel Best Wishes
Hostel west wishes for all the Students who have Exam soon. Though the exam is nothings but testing our ability of memorization power until the exam is over, then we don't know what we have been memorizing. Students in our campus are now off to start prepare for the exam while maintaining the hostel daily activities. Some of the students forget to have meal because of the exam tension. What is tested in the exam is not even the 5% of what useful thing we know. But unfortunately many people started thinking that during exam the most important question in our life is asked. What is truth? Lets us find it out. Just discuss.
Oh! love you are the only one who can bind all of us. Oh! love you are the only one who can keep and bring peace. Oh! love you are the only one who can keep all relations.
