Instead of going for regular studies of graduation and post graduation, students prefer to go in for short term professional courses so that they can start earning at a young age.

The poet Robert Southey has beautifully called books his never failing friends with whom he converses  day by day. Books are true friends they can be by our side in whatever mood we are.They enlighten, give knowledge, entertain and inform us. Books are written with experienced people so we learn from their lives. We can carry books with us when we travel. They are our constant companions. when we are tired of reading we can close them, we can even read them at midnight. They fill our minds and hearts with hope and joy. Unlike human friends they never deceive or betray us. Books have inspired people through the ages.

Ragging means teasing in a light vein, cracking jokes but not at the expense of others. Ragging is fun if done in the right spirit.

Usually innocent ragging involves seniors making the freshers dance, sing songs, enact somethings or run errands for them.
