Another Delayed Post

  As a blogger, I'd give myself 1outta 10.No discipline at all!Lots of drafts no actual posts!So having reproached                     myself enough I believe I should get on with blogging!
  A lot has happened since the last post!Mark Zuckerberg won a lot of accolades for poking around people's lives,with questions like 'What's ur mother's maiden name?' or 'What color did ur teacher paint her fingernails on October the 25th 1964?'
  Also, we successfully hosted the Commonwealth games with our polticos taking cue from the name  'Common' wealth and  decided that they were taking what was righfully theirs!There have been so many Kalmadi jokes that  some people expressed concerned that Rajnikant and santa banta would be laid to rest forever.

Examination...the Great Leveller!

   After the revelations of the back-benches I am compelled to follow it through with another hideously important aspect of any student-life....Exams....that freaky four letter word whose colloquial usage is usually preceded/succeeded by other unprintable adjectives(feigning ignorance is a crime).Exams....Its what gives parents jitters and sleepless nights, which they then try to pass on to their wards,usually to no avail.Exams....Its the one leverage in the hands of the Profs. as they try to tame an unruly bunch (usually a lost cause)... .Exams....The one thing in student life that is not solved by not turning up!So it is time to surgically cut through the mist(if that was possible) and separate myth and legend from the truth about... Exams.

  when Profs are returned to their senses after being forced to flirt with insanity borne out of endless frustration at not being able to imbibe anything substantial into 'em 'Thick skulls'

4 Years.....The End of an Era....

     As I reach the twilight of college life,I am compelled to look back at what has been an unbelievably breathtaking journey filled with memorable incidents.So much so, that as I write this post,I am filled with a sense of importance as great as what would have been felt by Nehru when he composed the 'Tryst with Destiny' speech.
     For someone coming from a totally dictatorial school(though I love it as much) college offered the kind of independence*  (* freedom would raise too many eyebrows) that was unimaginable.It was like when people imagined motion in 2 axes and some really awesome dude came up with the z-axis.College breathed meaning into all those oft repeated cliches but incomprehensible cliches like "You are the captain of your ship"...."master your destiny"...
     And talk about the people here!Wow,the blending time was non existent as was the awkwardness of initial acquaintance....By the end of the second night in college we were talking of football,girls and all other guy stuff!
I just love my batch!2k7 in many ways represented a transition in BIT,I'm told.Just months before we came in the LAN was perfected.Also we were allotted single rooms
