Party zone: Students have fun at the DJ nite

The students of Bhowanipore College let their hair down for the DJ night held at Venom, Fort Knox on November 12. All credit goes to the organisers, Kirti, Tariq and Gautam for livening up the Sunday evening. Excitement was in the air as the DJ belted out popular numbers from recent movies like Omkara and Woh Lamhe. The DJ nite was followed by a jazzy ramp show done by the city’s models and ex-students like Shreya Pande and Priyanka. The glamour, glitz and the fun quotient of the event left the crowd asking for more.

On November 10, Hariyana Vidya Mandir School, organised a trip for the students of Class XII to the bird sanctuary at Narendrapur. The students were escorted by six teachers who provided us with interesting details of the different birds. It was a pretty place with butterflies and birds hovering all around. After a bit of sightseeing, we had a delicious lunch and came back to school refreshed and rejuvenated.
