My Star Moment: Dancing with Shehnaaz Gill at LPU's 'Ikk Kudi' Promotion!

 Shehnaaz Gill is LPU’s pride. She graduated from here with a B.Com degree, and every time she visits, it feels like a genuine homecoming. She wasn't just a star on stage; she was 'our' star, reminiscing about her student days, talking about classes in Block 14, and how the university atmosphere fueled her dreams. It was a beautiful moment of a star reconnecting with her roots!

My Dream Performance on Stage!

The highlight of the entire event—for me, personally, a moment I will never forget—was the opportunity to perform a dance right there on the main stage! When Shehnaaz ma'am was interacting with the students and the music started, I got the chance to showcase my performance.

The feeling of dancing with her (or rather, performing in front of her and getting her amazing reaction) was surreal. Her infectious smile and vibrant energy filled the whole auditorium. I could feel the crowd's excitement—it was the moment of a lifetime for a student performer! Shehnaaz ma'am’s encouragement and genuine warmth are truly what set her apart.

Get Ready for 'Ikk Kudi' on October 31st!

The main reason for her visit was the promotion of her much-awaited Punjabi film, 'Ikk Kudi'. Shehnaaz gave us the inside scoop, sharing that the movie is a story close to her heart, revolving around a girl's journey to find the right life partner and the importance of self-worth.

She urged everyone to watch it, and trust me, with the enthusiasm she showed, we are all ready!

The film is set to release in cinemas worldwide on October 31st, and it promises to be a heartwarming mix of comedy and romance.

From being a student at LPU to launching and promoting her own film (she is also a producer on this movie!), Shehnaaz Gill continues to be an incredible inspiration for all of us. Her journey proves that the biggest stages often begin on the humble college grounds.

I'm still reeling from the performance! Catch you all at the theatres on October 31st!

🌦️ My Hyderabad Journey – Three Months of Internship New Beginnings

Life often surprises us with opportunities that take us far from home — and for me, that moment came when I got the chance to go to Hyderabad for my internship at COMPILE IT. It was both exciting and nerve-wracking, knowing I’d be living in a new city for three months, learning, exploring, and creating memories on my own.

The day I arrived, Hyderabad welcomed me with open arms and perfect weather. The air was warm but comforting, with clouds gently floating over the skyline. I had heard about Hyderabad’s busy life and spicy biryani, but what really stole my heart was the city’s weather — calm mornings, breezy evenings, and occasional drizzles that made everything look poetic.

I moved into a flat with my friends — our little home for the next three months. The place wasn’t fancy, but it was full of laughter, shared meals, late-night talks, and cozy evenings by the window watching the rain. After long internship hours, sitting on the balcony with a cup of tea while the cool wind brushed my face became my favorite routine.

Every morning, the city seemed alive — the soft sunlight shining through clouds, the aroma of food from nearby stalls, and the hustle of people heading to work. The weather often played tricks — bright one minute, cloudy the next — but it always carried a charm that made each day feel different.

My internship experience was as enriching as the city itself. The workplace taught me professionalism, teamwork, and time management, but beyond that, I learned about independence. Living away from home wasn’t always easy — managing cooking, travel, and responsibilities — yet it made me stronger and more confident. There were days when I felt tired after work, but one look at the Hyderabad skyline, glowing under golden clouds, and all the exhaustion disappeared.

Weekends were our escape — exploring Charminar, Hussain Sagar Lake, and the cafés around Banjara Hills. The city had a perfect mix of tradition and modern life. Every corner told a story — from the

historic charm of old Hyderabad to the fast-paced life of Hitech City. And through it all, the weather stayed wonderful, wrapping every outing in a layer of calm and beauty.

Some evenings were especially magical — when the sky turned orange and grey at the same time, and a light drizzle fell across the streets. Standing on our balcony during those moments, I often thought about how far I’d come — from a student dreaming of opportunities to someone actually living one.

These three months in Hyderabad weren’t just an internship; they were a journey of self-discovery. I learned how to balance work and life, how to find comfort in unfamiliar places, and how simple things — like clouds, rain, and tea with friends — can make the best memories.

As my internship comes to an end, I realize that Hyderabad gave me much more than experience — it gave me stories, strength, and serenity. The city’s weather mirrored my journey — sometimes bright, sometimes cloudy, but always full of hope and growth.

Exploring the Serenity of Himachal Pradesh: A Journey into the Hills

My trip to Himachal Pradesh was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, this beautiful state feels like a piece of heaven on earth. From the moment I entered the hills, I was surrounded by peace and natural beauty. The cool mountain breeze, the tall deodar trees, and the sight of snow-capped peaks filled me with a sense of calm that words can hardly describe.

My journey began in Shimla, the charming capital city known for its colonial architecture and vibrant Mall Road. Walking along the streets with a cup of hot coffee in hand, I watched the mist slowly rise over the hills. The toy train ride from Kalka to Shimla was another unforgettable experience — winding through tunnels, bridges, and green valleys, it felt like traveling through a postcard.

After Shimla, I continued my journey to Manali, a town that completely stole my heart. Surrounded by pine forests and the flowing Beas River, Manali had a perfect mix of adventure and peace. I visited Solang Valley, where I experienced the thrill of paragliding and played in the snow like a child. The cold breeze, laughter of travelers, and the sound of the river created memories I’ll cherish forever.

Evenings in Himachal were the most peaceful part of my trip. Sitting by a bonfire, sipping hot tea, and watching the stars sparkle in the clear sky felt like pure bliss. I also met some wonderful local people who shared their stories, traditions, and warmth with me. Their kindness made the trip even more special.

Traveling through Himachal Pradesh taught me to slow down and appreciate the beauty around me. The mountains have a way of making you feel small yet complete. Every moment — whether it was a quiet morning by the hills or a lively evening in a market — felt meaningful.

Himachal Pradesh is not just a destination; it’s a feeling of peace, freedom, and connection with nature. It’s the kind of place that stays in your heart long after you leave. 🌄✨

Journey Back Home: Celebrating Diwali with Family

 This Diwali was special because it was the time I returned from university to home to celebrate the festival with my family. The preparations began as soon as I started packing my luggage, with gifts, sweets, and a happy heart.

This Diwali, I made the journey from Phagwara to Ambala to celebrate the festival with my family. The travel was full of eagerness and enthusiasm as I bid farewell to the crowded university campus, eager to bask in the warmth of home, the light of diyas, and the smiles of loved ones. Each mile took me towards vibrant rangolis, sparkly lights, and the fragrance of scrumptious sweets awaiting me. The fact that I was at home and celebrating Diwali with them made the festival all the more special and memorable.

The ride from campus to home was an oscillation between nostalgia and expectation. As the bus/train glided across familiar landscapes, visions of previous year's celebrations and childhood Diwalis danced before my eyes. Each mile brought me nearer to the comfort of home, the scent of festive delicacies, and the light of diya burning bright.

Upon reaching home, the ambiance was lively—houses lit up with lights, vibrant rangolis at each entrance, and family members' laughter resonating in the house. I spent time with my family decorating the house, bursting crackers in the lawn, and indulging in yummy sweets. Being able to celebrate with my family, detached from the rigors of university life, made this Diwali one to be remembered.

This trip wasn't a trip from college to home; it was a trip back to my roots, culture, and the spirit of coming together. Celebrating Diwali with family made me realize how special these moments are, and how every attempt to come back home is worth the joy it offers.

From Rehearsal to Performance: My Giddha Journey at Lovely Professional University

 There are certain days that remain in your heart forever — the days with energy, laughter, nervousness, and joy of performing. My day of Giddha performance at Lovely Professional University was just one such unforgettable day.

Early morning saw us begin the day with our rehearsal. The campus was not awake yet, but the practice hall was already filled with the rhythm of the dhol and the giggles of my team members. We corrected our steps again and again, having each clap, twirl, and step synchronized perfectly. Despite fatigue, the thrill of dancing for One India kept us bubbling with energy.

Backstage was complete pandemonium and joy! Everyone was scrambling to get ready — ironing out phulkari dupattas, repairing jhumkas, and assisting each other with make-up. One was tweaking the dholki beat, another was checking the music system, and some of us were still rehearsing the last few steps backstage. There was a lovely blend of butterflies and joy in the atmosphere.

When the time actually arrived to walk onto stage, all fatigue was gone. The applause of the audience provided us with a new surge of energy. Performing in front of such an energetic crowd, portraying our culture, and expressing our happiness through Giddha was priceless.

And at the end of the day, sitting with my crew, exhausted but smiling, I knew — it's not about performing on stage. It's about the friendships, the backstage craziness, the feelings, and the memories that make the performance extraordinary. ????

💫 Another Day of University Giddha Practice: One India Vibes

The campus was already buzzing with excitement and music despite the gentle morning sun. Another day of practicing Giddha — another day of rhythm, laughter, and a little mayhem. Every dhol beat serves as a reminder of why I enjoy participating in this tradition as the One India event draws near.

The energy in the room was palpable as soon as we walked into the rehearsal space. Bangles clinking, dupattas flying, and everyone attempting to perfect those moves—it's more than just dance; it's emotion. We take endless mirror selfies, share snacks, and taunt one another in between steps. All of our fatigue vanishes as soon as the room reverberates with the sound of "haan ve!"💫 Another Day of University Giddha Practice: One India Vibes

It's a unique experience to practice under the university lights with friends who are more like family. We can't help but smile even when our legs hurt and the teachers yell, "One more time," because we know deep down that these moments will be cherished memories for a lifetime.

We continue to hum the Giddha song as we make our way back across campus as the evening light fades, discussing costumes and preparing for our upcoming practice. One India is a sense of unity, culture, and pride rather than just an occasion. And every clap and spin in Giddha feels like a celebration of that spirit, in my opinion. 💛✨

A Day in My University Life: Between Coffee, Classes & Chaos

Each morning is the same struggle — my alarm going off, me trying to tell myself that five more minutes won't make a difference, and subsequently rushing out (once again). As I dart out of my hostel room with a hastily made-up cup of coffee, already the campus appears to be awake — from the laughter in one corner, the gossips in another, to that one friend who never fails to be punctual waiting for me outside the gate.

The initial lecture tends to tone the day. Certain days it's all energy and play, and some days it's like a slideshow that doesn't end. Amidst classes, my friends and I slip out to the café — our hangout where gossip, chai, and random philosophical conversations coincide. There's something magical about those little interludes that charge us up for the mayhem that lies ahead.

Afternoons for classes, labs, and the occasional hour-long power nap that always seems to happen. By dusk, campus becomes golden — everybody's out snapping photos, jamming, or just sitting under trees, relaxing. That's my favorite part, when it all winds down a little and you appreciate how much you're going to miss it one day.

College life isn't ideal — it's messy, unpredictable, and full of deadlines. But it's where we laugh the hardest, where we learn the most, and where we begin to uncover who we truly are. Each day here is a combination of chaos and tranquility — and I wouldn't exchange it for anything. ????
