The job of an editor is akin to that of a
gardener who is tasked with collecting the
finest specimens from a garden that dazzles
the senses with the variety af its efflorescence.
{tis both difficult and delightful: difficult
because the process is one of selection, and as
a natural corollary, of exclusion, and delightful
because of the opportunity to closely work
with some fine creative talents and bea
catalyst in their creative process,
This editorial board has tried to reinvigorate
Hans-a platform for showcasing the
enormous potential in the students and
teachers of Hansraj College. And it has indeed
been an extremely rewarding experience, We
have tried to include in these pages the best

conceptualize and execute this somewhat big
and chaotic task of collecting inputs, positioning
them inside an organized structure and creating
designs that present them differently?
Student contributors and editors as well as
contributing colleagues are responsible for
most of the text here. Niraj V Murali, Javed and,
your entire team ~ you were great! A warm
word of appreciation and gratitude for PIXELS,
the informal photographic society of Hansraj
College for generously contributing their best
images. Special thanks to Abhinay, Shivam and
Adnan! Dispersed amidst the pages of this and
other College publications this year are the
creative efforts of many PIXELS members. All
image credits go to them ~yes ALL! No
professional's images figure in any of our
publications. This is happening, perhaps, for the
first time in the history of Hansraj College!
So flip through the pages and enjoy the creative
outburst. See your own life and ideas refiected
here and if you like them preserve this volume
a5. memory of your College life.BdIGow disci
