DU Darshan for the freshers

The rikshaw launch was fabulous, though some of the rikshaw pullers seem to be having issues with their new rikshaws -  cycle chains are not firm enough, the wheels get punctured even on smooth roads, and other minor issues that can we rectified. SIFE is sending all the problematic rikshaws back to the vendor to have everything fixed - which will happen in a day's time - and the rikshaws will be given back to their owners.

Meanwhile, some SIFE freshers went for the DU Darshan yesterday. You would be marvelled at how the rikshaw puller is able to drive you around as well as be your guide - he speaks so well about the various monuments that he could really set up his own "guide" business, if only there were enough visitors to all those monuments. Really, I don't think most of us are aware that North Campus has anything of historical importance, it's just colleges and nothing else - and the DU Darshan proves just how wrong we are. There are monuments - each one with a fascinating history, and a fascinating rikshaw puller explaining that to you.

PICTURES!





Don't the rikshaw pullers look smart? They're SIFE rikshaw pullers, after all! Don't worry, Calvin, you look smart too!

The rikshaw puller standing with us here is the chief guide - Ram Shiromani Bhaiya
