End sems time in BIT

People..people..people.
Why all the confusion over gryphus/nike/metallica ? Anyways, as someone rightly said, we ain't bothered by pebbles.
End sems are upon my head, and if i don't sit down to study,...well... quite a few of us know how eagerly they look forward to the summers...

Here's the newest news:
There's Wi-Fi Internet available in the RnD building.. or so it seems..
if GOD can surf for an hour at 4am, then surely it must be worth it.. though I'm deeply sceptical about the 160kbps "download" speed that it is touted to offer...
The book circle has been finally formalised.. or formalised finally.. (i can never seem to get the order correct) and hope it survives the onslaught of higher sem pressures.. and all
Quite a few good things have been happening on campus....
This semester:
ACM (Association of Computing Machinery, for the uninitiated) rose from it's own ashes... held programming contests.. gave away T-shirts (an absolute first i may add)... and identified quite some talent...
And ohh.. before i forget.. The vice-chairman of ACM (Siddharth Priya) is formally recognised as a Google employee !!! And to think that all the IITs put together, only one more guy got through the several rounds of interviews.. none of which, I assure u, allowed the interviewee a moment's rest.
technIEEk 2005 was a resounding success... with a budget of just 5 figures, team IEE really pulled it off.. in a way, they have taken technIEEk several notches closer to being the "techfest" of BIT... are the Unnayan guys listening ? buck up guys.. I'm sure this year's performance must act as a motivation for you guys to put up a better show...
after all.. that's what life in BIT is all about.... amidst strategically planned power cuts during exam times (only), and pathetic mess managers, it is upto the campus residents (and I mean the students, not the rodents) to make their own life.... agar yahaan kuch nahi kar paate ho, to phir baahar kya karoge?
more of the sunshine in my next one...
till then.. to all my readers... adios

Guys great job in recollecting BIT life here.Great Job!
It seems internet is evolving the BIT nomads.Well during our times (1998-2002)we didn't have much access with VERY limited resources.We have shelled out Rs.60 for an hour for tortoise slow net connection at BIT gate cyber cafe!!
Leverage the internet.Best of Luck.
