Ragam 08...My Muse,My Canvas

Ragam's back again this time...Today was the inauguration and performance by a band Raghu Dixit...mostly hindi pop. Tomorrow is the much awaited choreo nite.. that's one show i don't wan to miss! friday night is the Pro Show by Karthik (tamil singer) and finally on sat is the "creme de la creme" (read it as Fashion Show for the uninitiated). I guess this time Ragam is quite a low key affair considering the current scenario in our college. The accident of the Joint Convenor of Ragam was quite unfortunate.I guess our OAT(open air theatre) would be jam packed for the choreo nite. The last time when we had the pro show by Shaan, people were sitting on top of the walls of the OAT and wherever they could stand! That show was one of the best things that happened in NITC.
Chal then

Changes...

“Nothing in this world is constant or forever except Change...”
Just the other day I was having a serious discussion with my friend about the changes in all our lives at the end of 3 yrs of our college life...There are so many changes and four years is a pretty long period in this college,but how fast it has gone none of us can grasp. Starting with 1st yr E batch , 2nd yr and 3rd yr comp sci has gone so fast...all that is left is memories. All of us have changed ..some for the better and some for the worse but nobody is the same.Most of us have done stuff we would have never done in school and would never do after we leave college. Many things had been first time for many people...
Initially when we started bunking class....we would feel guilty.. but later there's not even the guilt...classes have been bunked for reasons ranging from lab work to catching on sleep to plain laziness.
All the whacky stuff that we did in our 1st year for sangam, debutante, adrenaline ... some things make us laugh even now.. where as somethings make us turn red with embarassment.
I cannot imagine how “well” comp sci had performed for the ADZAP in 1st yr...n loadz of other events where we do wacky stuff...reaching the limit of our creativity. In LH we have this “ 300's “ group ...that's the ppl who stay in the 3rd floor of 3rd yr block in LH. One crazy gang of people.. who have many things in common other than being on the 3rd floor... we tend 2 be extremely creative duriing exam times (read as “hyperactive”) ...celebrate “FP” days (facepack days where v have photo shoots) and solve ABC puzzles(somethin to do with people being A B and C.. n guess them.. from our colg.. n mostly from our yr...it leads to startling relevations ;)...) and loadz of other similar stuff just 2 days before the exams. Once celebrating an inmate's b'day .. one of the 300's ..Supi ran with the whole cake and the rest of the 300's running behind her.. it was 12:15 and the rest of the hostel was quiet... soon the gaurds came running thinking that some robber had crept into LH...what they saw made them mad...they cursed and went back... :) One crazy gang of ppl.. n i'll miss evyrone of them.. we were thinkin what wud have happened if we hadn't ended up taking rooms in the top floor in the 2nd yr... (we have single rooms) ...being in any other floor and with any other set of ppl wud never be the same...never the same fun... ervy single one.. nami , supi, viddi , anita , shane , meenu , paro , neethiks , gayo , jamz , krishna , kavi , cini , sheba , nematho , neethu , ria , reshmi , reeni ...hope i have included every 300. Always before the exams every single 300 would have to discuss ervythin under the sun except for studies...which comes as part of the discussion somewhere. While every other floor would be quiet only the 3rd floor would have ppl talking and laughing...ofcourse by 9 the talks die down since the next day would be the sessionals. A rumour about exams getting postponed would be enough to start a celebration...I remember when the college had an epidemic of chicken pox.. the day before the exams someone said that exams are postponed..n ervy1 started celebrating...the next day came to know that the 1st yrs and 2nd yrs have leave for 2 weeks and we have the sessionals the next day!! Even this time before the 2nd sessionals someone said something about sports day.. n there was a huge uproar...which was later never spoken about.
I'm sure that if there's anything i would definitely miss in this college it would be the LH(ladies hostel for the uninitiated). Everything else comes after that. Our comp sci class has grown closer after the b'lore trip... unfortunately all were not there... but the trip would be a memorable one for quite a few.
About the trip in another post...
till then
