Welcome to The Department of Mass Communication.....

By Sharjeel Ali Khan

 

When one enters into the department of Mass Communication, there are a lot of check posts which a person has to pass through, to reach the class room.

First comes a table, which is placed on the left hand side, right at the entrance of the department, having a bunch of people sitting or standing by it. Crossing them at the angle of 90 degree, there are a couple of benches at the back door of the department where at least 10 to 15 students are always sitting, gossiping, or playing Ludo.

On the right side, there is a Photostate shop which is never seen empty.  Groups of students are always hanging around screaming somethings like, “MERA PEHLE SET BANADEIN… H.I KA HANDOUT HAI 2^ND YEAR KA? … MADAM ASMAT ARA NE PHOTOSTATE KE LIAY KUCH RAKHWAYA HAI KIA?”, etc.

On the left side, there is a small canteen with a person standing there, well known to each and every student of the dept,  "Abdul Bhai". The Stairs adjacent to the canteen look like a part of it most of the time or place for tea. Students are often scolded by the teachers especially Fauzia Jaffery and Sadia mehmood not to sit there.


There is a backyard too. It is also another place of gossiping and students use to sit there when they are in mood to bunk their classes. It is a vast empty land, which looks something like an "African Savvanah".  This place also serves as a parking lot area where teachers and some students park their cars.  In the morning, most of the adventurous ones (especially girls) go for a walk in the pet jungle but nowadays they are afraid of due to wild craetures which are found there due to over grown grass....
