The Return

Time has flown since we joined the college. It seems just like yesterday that I was in the queue to pay the fees for Sem 1. All the moments rushing through the heart and brains while I was again in the queue but this time only with my dearest of friends cherishing the past moments. I also say that the days are not far that we would be attending the Graduation/Convocation Ceremony. As we all know that the best days are never retained except in photos and memories.

All I want to say to our new friends who joined the PDPU family: Live life to the fullest. One never knows whether you will get to enjoy these moments or not.

Also do not leave any stone unturned in this college and make sure you put your best in studies and co-curricular activities.

Its not important to be famous in the college as many of think. Just be yourself and you wont go un-noticed in the college. There is absolutely no need to take any "extra" steps to attain so.

Wish you a pleasant college experience and PS: Do not participate in ragging. Yes, allowing yourself to be ragged is also a crime and punishable. So inform the respective authorities if you see any illegal activities going on campus.

Be an optimist...why ? Because, even a +ve delusion will help you...

Well, this is not a petroleum or movies or music related stuff...this article points out why it's always better to be an optimist rather than a pessimist...Even living in a false but optimistic delusion along with sensible acts will help a lot...

How is oil formed ?

Although, no one can surely say how petroleum or oil is formed, the most widely accepted theory is that it is formed by chemical alteration of organic matter subjected to high T&P(temperature & pressure) conditions...Pressure is generated by the deposition of sedimentary layers on the organic matter and heat from mantle portion of the Earth...
