mh { | HIDAYAT 3 dons, SES Praane Cee [efe) ,EDITORS’ NOTE A lot has happened since the second edition of Hidayat. We were finally able to tell the world that the ezar has toppled. All the students were joyous, because we assumed that once ‘the dictator fell, that would be the end to all our problems. This Edi- tion of Hidayat looks into how the evil in HNLU, perhaps, wasn’t just one person. It reaches the most unfortunate conclusion, that just ‘the protest wasn’t enough to make HNLU great again™. While one may assume that the students and the teachers alone are enough for a University to function, this isn't true. This Edition also throws light on the woes of the people who are all around this college, but ‘who no one sees- the cleaning staff. Did you know that they hadn't ‘been paid for three months (the last we interviewed them)? Did you know that they had signed a blank sheet instead of a contract? Anyways, for now, let's move on to the good news (yes, sometimes we have good news too, okay?). We are excited to announce that Lithin Thomas from Batch XVIII has joined Team Hidayat as a designer. He does great work, and we hope you guys enjoy his graphics as much as we do! Further, while you're reading this, you may be standing in the library holding a hard copy of this Edition in your hand while wondering- “hmmm, how did these two losers manage to come across enough cash to print out this magazine?” Don’t worry guys, we're still broke as fuuuuck. No, no, the admin- istration hasn't agreed to sponsor us either (LOL what a joke). Our sponsor is none, but the amazing Mr. Arpit Bokar (CEO of Zimba Meals). He shared our vision of making HNLU a better place and decided to help us out. For this, we're super thankful. To conclude- as Dumbledore once said: “Nitwit! Blubber! Odd- ment!
