I realized with mixed feelings yesterday nite (the last day of the dreaded end sems..)that I had completed half of my college life at nitc.. feel sad when I think about it.. just 2 more yrs to go.. the classmates, best friends, sharing jokes,
each person who has entered my life as a collegemate/batchmate/classmate/bestfriend/closefriend/friend/even an acquaintance, will be remembered.. the duration depends on the category.. ;)
Ragam,lh farewell, thathva(not much though..! ) and the likes will leave an indelible mark in my heart forever.. I guess I’m getting too senti..
Happy abt 1 thing.. v r still in the same hostel in the comin yr.. phew can’t imagine changing to the new lh block.. its like long corridors and u can’t call out for anyone whenever u wan’t.
In terms of quality, present hostel rooms mite be small.. v don’t hav net or lan.. getting it soon though..but the feeling of oneness.. its like the traditional kerala tharavad houses.. I guess it’s called naalekettu(dunno if this is the way it’s spelled in Malayalam..!) .. that’s a house with four sides and a courtyard in the middle.. the whole joint family stays in that 1 house.. each part prolly one family..
1st yr was slow.. n yes I disliked my 2nd sem thru’out.. from the very beginning till the end.. many reasons..not that t’was an even sem.. a misconception.. coz I liked my 4th sem..
2nd yr was fast.. but then u reach 4th yr.. its ultra cool… nothing to do.. no labs.. not much 2 study.. max of 4 subjects.. if u take overload .. just roam abt.. n yeah u’ll b always noticed.. the younger lot.. that’s the 1st & 2nd yrs.. wud b like .. hey there goes the 4th yrs.. jobless… ! ;).. n then u go out into the big world.. where deadlines mean deadlines.. no excuses whatsoever..
the pro show by shaan this yr for ragam was simply the best ever at nitc… the oat(open air theatre) was packed 3900 that nite… it was an awesome performance for 2 hrs.. end to end…
on technical side.. math over forever.. wrote the last math exam in my life.. I guess so..! its sad though .. coz I liked the subject.. also the bunkometer(the no. of classes bunked in each subject).. had reached a high.. compared to s3.. in the case of some subjects in s4.. which were just plain borin.. thanx to many factors.. which I wud not mention.. guess its obvious.. if my classmates are reading this they’ll prolly be noddin their heads in approval.. for the same subjects.. names censored though.. if u were in comp sci u wud b knowin the most borin subs of s4.. in the end actually got scared if I wud get attendance shortage for a subject.. thanx to the silly idea of 80%attendance.. 8 classes can b cut max for a subject in a sem… the idea of 80%attendance is seriously ridiculous.. I still can’t figure out the reason for such a high percentage… !
they really should reduce the %..
k then signin off…
wanna sleep. Coz of the nite out yest.. actually not a nite out.. sat up till 5 in morning n watched movies.. 300(no not that many… PJ!!!.. it’s the new movie out.. Spartan..n awesome graphics..) n some others.. its always this way.. durin exams.. too sleepy even to sit up till 10 n the day exams get over.. there’s no question about sleepin…;)
Before signing off.. I wanna dedicate a song to all my friends:
My best friends..
2nd floor of old lh block.. (it rocks at nite..thanx to nami’s and shane’s laughter ;)..)
2nd yr comp sci classmates.. an awesome lot.. initially thought they were just plain boring.. during sangam .. when v got the coveted last postn.. or was it 2nd last?? Don’t remember.. even the comp sci t-shirt.. the one n only ORANGE colour t-shirt never seen a comp scian wearing it..except for a few..
2nd yr batchmates of mine..
everything happens to be starting with 2nd !!
the only roommates I ever had until now.. that was in 1st yr..
the wonderful seniors..
my skool friends.. 3 yrs since I saw some of them.. but staying in touch thanx to orkut..n mobile phone ofcourse..
n yes.. last but not the least .. the E-batch.. 1st yr classmates of mine.. the famous 12 gals .. e batch makkal.. (children ;) ) n yes the guys.. each of them a specific character..Guess :
the guy who wud always ask the time..purposely forget to wear a watch.
The guy who wud be made fun of .. no matter what happens.. I guess he’ll never change.. was incidentally our class rep..
Many more come to my mind.. but I guess this wud do.. or I wont be signin off today…!
The song is graduation song by vitamin c.. don’t laugh ur heads off.. I know v haven’t yet graduated.. n yes there is a band named vitamin c.. check it out for urselves.. !
The words are awesome.. but one line really caught me off guard.. goes like this (the chorus line):
As we go on… we remember all the times v had together.. n as our lives change… come whatever v will still be friends forever…
cheers

s3 over
S3 over?!..dat was fast….
prologue: k .. its really late 2 write abt s3.. n 2 early to write abt s4... so i chose writing abt s3..n pls note da fact dat dis was written durin da hols(3 month vac.. june n april .. ) so very less has been written abt s4..
Well,well… a semester in nitc is over… its unbelievable .. it just feels like yesterday…
S3 was so fast.. it was faster than any of the other sems at nitc.. we had tathva and lh farewell a week before the end sems.. But it was fun.. tathva was just awesome.. with so less time to prepare n get everything done..it was just fabulous.. LH farewell needless to say rocked the audi.. till 2:00 in the morning.. man I was damn sleepy.. I just flopped on the bed the moment I came back.. and we had convocations in between our end sems.. 17th November.. many of the ex-students came.. those who passed out of college in 2005 and 2004.. they got their degrees and some of the students were awarded gold medals for being the best out going students.
We had NSS,value education and OT(other things..not kiddin ! dat is the full form of OT) .. seriously value education is just a waste of time.. its boring..NSS is fun.. v had field work and in the next sem v’ll b havin trauma care.. no don’t mistake me.. v r not havin trauma care.. but I guess v’ll b havin borin classes on trauma care.. though rite now its not dere …J
S4.. is gonna b more packed.. ragam, chrysalis(its over..), NSS(spread over 2 sems) …nah s3 was way to different.. did I like it? I guess so.. got new classmates.. when I kinda got happy n close with the prev batch E.. it was time to leave them n switch over to the gr8 comp sci s3 batch.. yup they r just fine.. just 8 gals n the remaining guys.. I guess the class strength is 72.. the other branches complain that v hav absolutely nothing to study n v hav the maximum no. of free slots.. but really it’s a misconception.. v r just as free as the other branches.. prolly lesser when it comes to lab work. Okay.. studies wise v hav lesser.. not much but lab work n question papers just more than compromise for it!!
S4 is goin on… n it doesn’t luk so good…with afternoon classes from 3 to 7 on a weekday n labs not goin so well..but life’s like dat.. but I guess I’ll rite about s4 in another post.. lets c .. prolly after it gets over.. Ragam…. Shaan’s comin to sing….bet it’ll b awesome.., da chatamangalam surveys(nss work..),sports day, yeah n loadsa of other things……. Its goin to b awesome on enjoyment front..;)

V-day dhamaka
Disclamer: i thut i wud rite one for this post coz i dont want to get on the wrong side.. this post doesn't imply anyone in general.. its just a true piece of my mind on what i actually feel about this stuff..no offences meant to any pairs in nitc.. note da point...;)
okay rite now i'm in the blogger mode.. but lately we hav been having discussions in the LH (read it as ladies hostel.. for the uninitiated guys around here ;) ...) regarding the effect of valentine's day in the college campus.. firstly the 1st years hav this miserable job of trying to sell cards to the seniors or their batchmates.. cards include red card(i've fallen in luv wid u..cud just b a prank.. also!) ,yellow card(i value ur freidship..) white card(lets b good friends..da strt of a beautiful friendship).. chilly cards(any ill feelings against anyone) and ginger cards(meant for bugging people.. ; )
finally they decide the rose king or queen.. based on who gets da maximum number of red roses..
the idea of cards... i think this is not a great idea.. coz there hav been many instances where ppl sent cards in others names n fool ppl.. i hav seen many ppl who hav stopped talkin to each other coz of misunderstandings.. i guess in other colleges also its da same ol' stuff..
its not dat i'm against valentine's day or something..but this idea of conveying ur feelings thru cards when ppl r actually present in the colg.. its not like they are in another country all together!!... is really absurd. nad mostly its just a time pass relationship.. friends.. sending yellow roses is a gr8 idea.. i mean i like it.. but to sent red roses n chilli cards to someone in others names.. is called cowardice.. express those feelings urself.. not thru someone else
its like dere are so many pairs in nitc.. they will find all this fun.. it is meant for them..valentine's day ....but others.. just stick on to ur friends for their friendship will defenitely be more important than a relationship.. yup i talk like i hav loadz of experience.. believe me..i dont.. but there have been many cases as these which can be an eye opener for all of us..
ppl just roam around with their boy/ girl.. they lose the valuable time they can spent with their friends..friends in both the genders.. i know there are ppl who still hav time for thier friends in both the genders even after they are commmited.. but they defenitely lose on a lot of things they wud hav done otherwise..they are like bound .. to tell the truth.. most of them won't feel it.. coz they belive they are in love.. but are they really??? thats a question they have to answer once they leave this college and ener into the world.. the real world. when they hav to stand on their own feet.. when they can't run to the solace of the atm.. where their caring parents will deposit money evry week (okay dat mite be an exaggeration.. ;).. but there is money wheneva they need it when they r in colllege.. ) .. all will be hunky dory till they leave college.. after dat??? they mite end up marrying.. den its fine(hopefully..;) ) otherwise they MITE end up regretting all those times they missed in collge days.. no doubt the time they spent with their partner mite be fond memories.. but still there will be some pain deep down inside their heart.. why go for that? why suffer such a pain when this is the time u can actually enjoy.. life to the hilt.. defenitely after marriage.. u'll hav the trouble brewing up..;) so why not have your freedom till dat moment..??
i guess da best relationship status is single n ready to mingle.. okay i can c many raised eye brows.. ppl dont curse me.. its just an opinion.. n i'm sure there will b many who agree to this and many more who'll b really critical about this...
anyways HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY.. to all the happy pairs out dere...
okay signin off...
n one more thing.. single?? don't be lonely.. loadz of ppl out dere who wud value ur friendship.. ppl all around u mite b in pairs.. but believe me .. life is not so easy for them too...they have their ups and downs..
singles have their family friends teachers.. relatives.. n ofcurz..........FREEDOM......
think about it...

new year resolutions
dis is my first post since da beginnin of this year..
2007 began with all day classes for us.. no fun whatsoever.. believe it or not.. v had classes till 5:00 in the evenin which included an excruciating DE LAB!.. read it as death everlasting(okay not kidding... its digital electronix lab)..
n yes i believe in the age old superstition.. dat whatever u do on the 1st day of teh year.. will continue on till the end of the year.. anyways that is really absurd now.. taking into the fact that i did loadz.... of things on 1st jan.. which i'm sure i wont b doin 24x7 .. ! ;) anyways da previous nite was hard partyin till 1:00.. umm venue was a bit conjusted.. but bearable.. since bein in the LH n havin a prty late at nite was a gud feelin.. ;)
now comin to new year resolutions.. when i was young i used to take new yr resolutions rather seriously n rather hard ones though.. which wud b defenitely broken within a maximum of a month.. so this yr is different.. no new year resolutions.. just take each day as it comes..
k
