Muhammad Habibat Sani (Ummu Yasmeen) There is nothing more delightful than waking up on the morning of Eid Al-Adha to the sweet aroma of sizzling meat frying on the fire. The sound of Sheeeew emanating from every corner of the neighborhood is a symphony of joy that signals the start of a day filled with family, friends, and feasting. Unless, of course, you happen to be a student at UDUS. For those of us who couldn't make it back home due to the fuel hike or the far distance from our hometowns, this year's Eid is a silent affair best reserved for nostalgic daydreams. As our friends regale us with tales of how much meat they devoured or how many sheep they slaughtered, we can only imagine the sumptuous feast that we've missed. "I can't imagine missing the sound of the Sheeeew of the frying meat," one student tells his friend, wiping away a tear of longing. "It's like missing the national anthem at a football match." Another student nods wistfully. ...

At UDUS, the cock of the hen awakens humans drumming to the ears a worrying tone and personifying the wailing of thousands of students. With what seems to be lost voices, students cry internally with raining tears rolling from their eyes, passing the cheeks and down to the legs. Now, the student community is heavily plagued with sadness, with a few who are privileged smiling and less concerned.  This situation is an undesired expression following the closure of the students' registration portal by the University management. To be fair, the university management should be appreciated for the consecutive extensions of registration for returning students. However, the students want more echoing their plights to the magnanimous heart of the management.  Recently, a circular released by the University authority noted that the fate of any student unable to complete registration within the windows of extension will risk deferring his or her admission. The implementation of the notice...
