Well then, here we are with this month’s supply of rumours meticulously collected from our myriad sources. Of late, the Electronics department seems to be abuzz with romantic liaisons, rumours and what not, which is also evident from the fact that they have grabbed a major chunk of spatial estate in Rumour Mill since the last issue. So we strongly urge other departments to jump into the fray and uphold their dignity and assert their spatial rights over Rumour Mill. And most importantly, for everyone who ever wondered how to measure love, we bring you an answer.

After the myriads of fests in our college that fell face forward, were denied prize money, rose up and were denied prize money again; Joyfest was a welcome change.

It was one of those events where one can proudly say that the ethic behind the event was not compromised for feasibility in college standards.
