Edition 50

Yatharth Rana, Student Head, 2016-17
DTU Times remains one of the strongest student-run newsletters across
the country. A lot has been going right in keeping this badge alive: team,
enthusiasm, admin support, college and team culture. Once you flip
through the pages, don’t just look at what comes out on top. Rather,
distil the decade long legacy that the newsletter carries.

For me, DTU Times was the only haven on campus which helped me to
escape the mundane reality of engineering. It is a place where incredibly
talented, modest and creative people meet and exchange ideas. I am
very proud of the work I did for Times and the way the team has
progressed over the years. I wish all the best to the existing team
and hope that they continue the phenomenal work they are
doing. Godspeed!

“Jab lage, har ghadi ke, ab iss raat ki, na hai subah koi,
Kar yakeen, dekh tu ke, aaftaab wo haseen, hai chhupa yahi
ki.”
Aaftaab. Sunshine.
You are BoB, a clan of people with the legacy of creating
legacies. This thought catalysed our shift from anonymity to
prestige, and I hope it spurs us ever onward.

I’ve personally seen the print edition grow from 1000 copies of
4 pages to 4000 copies of 40 pages, and I’m glad the growth
has been only positive since then. Producing content worthy
of such an investment by the University is a mark of a wellgroomed
team, with quality standards passed on from
seniors to juniors over more than 12 years. I congratulate
the team on achieving this milestone of 50 successful
editions and wish them all the best for all their future
endeavours.

When extremely enthusiastic engineers engage in euphoric
discussions over a misplaced comma, you know it’s a bunch of
editors from Times finalising their edition in the last moment frenzy.
It’s this crazy love for creativity and professionalism that keeps
DTU Times as one of the best teams of DTU. I’ll always cherish the
memories of interviews, the editions and the page.
Amit Dogra, Managing Editor, 2018-19
It’s about people, always about people. Work stands secondary,
but the way you do it, your lasting impact on individuals is what
eventually counts.
What? A place which provides the room to grow in and out, and
gives you possibly the best blend of people on the campus. Times is
the place to be at, hands down.
Gursifath Bhasin, Managing Editor, 2018-19
College years are the best of your life, and you’re going to want to remember
them fondly. One simple tip to make that happen is to do whatever you
want to. Do what your heart says as long as you’re not going overboard
with any of it. Learn to balance your desires with your college curriculum.
Let there be no regrets because they will come back and haunt you. Make
mistakes, fight for what is right, fail at something - in the end, you’ll emerge
as a better version of yourself, and it’ll all be worth your while!
