I don't know why alvas is doing like this.....in the sense all alvas student know that there is not one room in alvas which number starts from 13....and each alvas pu student know the story behind this.....but i can't understand whether it is true or false........because i'm student of alvas.
The reason of suicide is not due to warden harassment, of course to control the students wardens should be strict. Student has very bad habit of stealing the things of other friends and she caught several times. Warden might have warned her for her bad things. So took this step. She is very bad in her due record she was not paying the school fees, whenever she get money she spend the money for lavish life and in case of shortfall she steal money from other roommates also she is going other rooms and stealing the things from students. I know all these matters because she stolen from daughter's mobile also. Later when her cupboard checked all stolen things came out such as expensive mobiles, sandals, perfumes, cosmetics, jackets and Money. Please let me know anybody will tolerate this bad habit in any college.
