Ayesha Saeed Malik 4th Year MBBS Hi there folks! I am back again with more dog tales more like FLASH tales. He is 7 months old now. A lot has happened since the last time I wrote about him.

Let us look at the daily routine of these miserable creatures. Start from the time of the sight of moon. Ramzan commences.

Unaiza Khalid Chaudhry 4th Year MBBS I have had the chance to live in a hostel for a little less than two years - 1.5 years in Mozang Hostel for KEMU girls during my first year and second year, and 3 months before that in a private hostel in Lahore during my preparation for entry test . Other people who have a much longer experience of living in a hostel will definitely be in a better position to share helpful tips regarding hostel life. However I am sharing few things that helped me live fairly comfortably in hostel! NEW PLACE, NEW PEOPLE A hostel is a new place different from our homes. We meet new people who might have very different views than ours. It can be a little stressful in the start which is natural but if you have a positive mindset it can make things easier and make it a great learning experience. The best part about public universities is that since students get admission on merit, you have very diverse people coming together at one place. People from ...
