Sorry ppl...

I'm sorry ppl...
I was going through a bit of a bad phase.. So, I decided to give up blogging...
Heck! I can't do that.. I owe my sanity to this blog... It is one place I can call the administration a mule, and still get away with it...
For all those poor souls who felt relieved when they read that I left blogging, I'm back, with a vengeance...
I've been given a very raw deal by BIT this time, having had to answer a back aper when I didn't deserve one...
So, BIT will get it back, with interest...

So, keep reading, and keep posting ur lovely comments...

Update 0.0.0.:BYE:.

Goodbye folks...
it's been a truly wonderful and encouraging (though rather short) journey to have blogged my heart out.. and to receive all those comments...
IT was a great experience...
Due to "unavoidable circumstances"... I'm completely disillusioned with stuff... Hence I'm giving up... There's more to life than what I do.. take a leaf outta my leaf ppl... DON'T screw ur lives...

Work hard... Play harder (sorry, couldn't avoid the cliche...)
and ohh.. flirt your heart out..
would like to see more authoirs on this blog...

Rain

It's finally raining in bit...
Feels like the monsoons are finally here.hope it aint just a two day affair like about two weeks ago..
Man, this place comes alive...
Even though the reason i may be here isn't really a very pleasing one, the greenery and the weather just make you smile.
People, be ready for the lush green lawns and the wonderful breeze when u get back..
As also, for the powercuts, Stomach trouble and smelly drinking water...
Oh Well, What The Hell!
Who cares....
guess i'll go run amok with Adi's camera tomorrow.. let's see what transpires...
Peace.

Memories of first year

You hear a lot about college from your elder brothers and sisters. You imagine this place with no uniform, no parental guidance and very little studies, in short, a place where the party never ends. But this dream bubble gets brutally popped when you enter the gates of Birla Institute of Technology (they should add a :ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK board there).

For the first five minutes you see nothing but trees, trees and more trees with hostel buildings peeking from behind done up in gay(pun intended) yellow and spotted with undies. Finally you reach your own cellular jail. And then your warden says the two magic words “IN TIME”. Things get worse with the stuff they call food and hell holes called toilets.

First day of class, hope rises again. With buoyant steps you enter the building. A swarm descends upon you- SENIORS. From the next day on salwaar kameez, oily hair and bathroom chappals become your style statement. They make you sing, dance or act the fool anytime anyplace. At night you sob your stories to parents and hope you had never left home.

After the first week something happens….something they call orientation. You get used to it. You tell yourself, “It maybe bad but it is what I have to live with now”. And then the fun begins…..

You share your sorrows with your jail mates. You form a team and have fun at Techneek. You enjoy the sad show at Fugia. You experience the joys of free SMSing. You slip off to Subarnrekha right under the guard’s nose. You learn how to study the night before the exam and still get good marks. You learn to play the guitar. You come across funny words like PMC and BABA. Seniors don’t seem so bad when they hand over notes and treat at CCD.

College campus is a place where rumors spread fast. For one whole week you gossiped about a girl from your hostel getting married even when she lived as a happy spinster in the next room. You hear one day that your room was raided and enough stuff was found to earn a narcotics officer a lifetime achievement award. In reality not even a room heater was found!!!

Suddenly you realize that this jungle is always abuzz. Drishyant, Genisis, Dope Seminar. During BITotsav you wish you had Hermione’s time turner because you have to participate in 4 events at the same time.

And now as you finish this blog entry from home you can’t wait to go back. The place has somehow grown on you. The administration may be cold and apathetic or plain non-existent (except on registration day) but the students take care of the rest. The best soldiers are the ones that take the hardest obstacle course. So cadet tie up your boots for another action packed semester !!!!!

Missing you...

This is so embarrasing...
I'm actually missing BIT...
never has this happened before...

Campus is the same...
VC is busy meeting students with F*s... parents of students with F*s... Pauwa cases... HCL managers... and all sorts of riff-raff that roam the Earth...
Sasmal is busy imitating a grand mal seizure everytime a student goes to get his F* changed...
but then he's calming down in the afternoons.. or so it seems...

Munna Dhaba seems to be in a bit of news.. Rumor has it that the WiFi signals have been caught on laptops in the aforementioned site...
Though what were laptops doing in Munna Dhaba, that too in the evenings... is anybody's guess...
Tha's good news... People have started investing in WiFi adapters for their desktops so that when the WiFi LAN is launched.. they can play all sorts of multiplayer games to their heart's content... and at unimaginably high data transfer rates...


okay ppl...
the examination schedule is out...
I gotta heck it out...

meanwhile... u guys keep doing whatever u're doing...
Aloha.

Mass Rape in BIT

This is true...
All it takes is a coupla days in the campus during the summer... and you'll get an idea as to how many young, innocent (and not-so-innocent) lives being mercilessly reaped...

It starts with the end sem results... A flurry of randomly given D's and F's... (imagine landing with a D, after having scored 24 in the mid-sem) was not enough...
The past two years, BIT has decided to garnish several GPA cards (and thus grate several careers) with an F* or two... (I know for a fact that an NRI guy, an executive member of the Unesco Club, received 5 F*s this semester, which subsequently got converted to 5 Cs thanks to his aunt, who's an MLA)...

And that's not all... This summer there are 319 people (reportedly) appearing for the Engineering Mechanics exam... 151 from 2k5, 150 from 2k4, 16 from 2k3, 2 from 2k2... the figures may vary slightly... but the essence remains the same... BIt has turned into a minting machine, with GPA cards being manipulated day-in and day-out to fill the coffers...

Here's more news...
The clown that we have for a Dean (Academic Co-ordination), the one who jumps like a baboon everytime you appraoach him with a request or an apology, seems to have realized that people will kill him very soon.. what with frustration mounting
due to the F*s... so he's started diverting people to the VC... who at least seems to be the last sane person left in the administration...

What can we all do in the face of such mindless tyranny?

The Return of the Pachyderm

Hello people.
Im still alive despite contrary wishes of a few hundred people.
Was just away sleeping ,etc... leading a pachydermish life.
The ONE (He wont lemme name him here) was surprised to see me online lately and even more on doing so in person. Hence the title...
It's been a long time since the cuppa coffee over which this blog started...
Lots has happened since then.
btw, from this point on this is gonna be the uncensored completely opinionated BIT blog. if u want plain facts, then u can hop over to BIT Mesra Times. To quote Adi,we are only Journalists there. Here, we are opinionated facetious morons.That us.

Coming to new stuff, caught GVS necking someone the other day at the OC.
It was a shock. i wish i had a camera. Mohit, Devarsh, You guys listening?
Others things have been happening too, like Hercules making me realise that im not an elephant really. na. more closer to a beached whale. so i have a diet of a crustacean now. Man! gotta go torment my body under his expert guidance now.

Morrison Lives !
