So the question is what motivated me to finally sit in front of my lappy (which is very usual) and write somethin' on my blog (which is quite unusual) after 8 months ??? The title says it all. My hostel has taken its first step towards Sikandar. For the uninformed, Sikandar is the sports championship that happens every year between hostels that compete for the Prestigious Sikandar Cup here. The

Finally . . . Summer's over for me. Day before yesterday, I saw my name in ITC's shortlist. Unlike most of the shorlists, there were only 28 people in this shortlist which meant that I had comparitively less competition here. I gave the news to Abhinav (My senior and a good friend in Randomwalk) and he told me that this is one opportunity I shouldn't miss. He knows the person I am (he knew I

Well, talking about those last two Mid Term Papers, I managed to perform very well in the QAM-II paper while managed to screw the MANAC paper. Anyways, I am one guy who believes in forgetting such bad days and moving on. But then, it's sad that they remind you of those bad days by giving you something called the Grade Sheet. I got mine a couple of days back. In the starting term, I got a 5.75

Yet another day with 2 papers comes to an end. I wonder what they think we are, first they keep mid terms on the day next to Diwali and then to make us feel more at home, they keep 2 papers on the same day ! Well, we had DWO (Designing Work Organizations) and OM-II (Operations Management today. Just for the sake of records, I can mention one stupid thing I did today. I didnot care to even open

There is something in the exam time that makes you wanna write. Anything to keep you outta reach of books. Well, its been a really long time since I've posted. A lot of events are bound to get missed from being posted here, cuz the past one month have been equivalent to one year. So much happening with time moving so fast, life's never the same anywhere else. We had Varshasva - A sports event for

Here it is . . . My first end term exams start on 11th (tomorrow). And I haven't studied a thing in any of the subjects. Moreover, I made that fatal mistake today. Today was my third absent in ITC. It being a half credit subject, and a 1.5 hr lecture, a third absent means Grade Drop. So this is official now, I am getting a grade drop in ITC. How fortunate I am to experience this magical sensation

Just finished off with my mid-terms a couple of days back. My first view is that I didn't find it too difficult. I think my engineering mid-sems were tougher than this. Had 6 papers in 6 days (yeah Sunday too). Just stayed till 3:00 am everyday studying (sometimes 5:00). But what was the difference? We stay awake till 2:00 am everyday anyways. And I absolutely loved the exam time, not because I

It's been a long time since I last had a chance to write. Now that I've got my laptop, I can post more often. I wonder who told me that surviving without a lappy was possible. Actually without it, Life’s real hellish. It’s not possible to go to the Computer Center (CC) every time we need. Lappy is an absolute must here. Life has already started going crazy now. This is a place where you’ll not

It’s been almost nine days since I last posted. The schedule is going pretty busy right now with classes beginning with full flow and assignments and presentation dates beginning to pour in. As was expected, the induction turned out to be a big hoax. The night of the presentation, the council members announced the name of the people who were not to be allowed to participate in any committee,

The next two days of induction had less of the vigour that existed in the first day, partly because more people believed that the stunts put forward by the seniors was fake and partly because most of the people were tired of running around doing completely worthless things just because the seniors said so. The second day saw a completely new and tiring exercise forced on us by the seniors. The CV

Now onto the experiences with seniors here. It all started with the evening of the first day of the induction with the seniors. They all came (formally dressed) to the classroom in which we had our last session. There were about five of them. They introduced themselves as the Student’s council of IIML. The president of the council talked with a lot of aggression about how he will not let anybody

Today is the last day of our Induction. It all began with a bang day before yesterday. The inaugural speech was by the Director followed by a series of sessions. In the ice breaking session, we were given a case (BIO) which we were supposed to study till the next day. C’mon man, it’s only the induction module and the studies start already. Some things of utmost importance: Firstly, CGPA is very

Finally, stepped into the hallowed realms of Hell today mornin. Stepped out from the railway station to see a lot of CNG-driven prepaid taxis. Cost around 135 bucks for that 20 odd km stretch of road and a 3.4 km offset leading to the Hell campus. Immediately made an entry at the gate and went to the Student's affairs. Some info here, The hostel is divided into slums(H2-H8), cities(H9-H10) and

Finally i got a pretty strong reason to create a blog. Since the last one and this one are for entirely different purposes, I thought of starting a new one and continuing the old one as it is. This one's dedicated to just one topic (The title says it all). If I keep on writing this blog for the next two years (i.e. if I get enough time), I am sure it will serve as a good platform for me to keep
