What about midsem??

Freshers is over and so should be the blame game. We were all responsible for all that was arranged that involved various sections like games, food and music. Obviously things could have been a hell lot more interesting and lively had we thrown in a trifle more efforts in managing our work properly. I think everyone is responsible for everything that happened. I feel sorry for our seniors who had to be content with just the cold-drinks. In the crowd of 87 I thought that 120 pizzas would be more than enough, but to my surprise even some third years were left. But see the positive side, our food was excellent and every single 2nd yr had full course (they even had spoons for the ice-creams..lol). I have asked many of the 2nd yrs personally about the fresher and believe me when I say that they were extremely happy with it .For us veterans it could have been the same old games from last year but it was their first experience with anything of the kind. Overall for 2nd yrs, trical fresher was great. As far as we are concerned, we all know that we could have done a far better job than was on display, which is the only reason for this fight. This fight has carried on for way to longer than it should have, if at all it should have, and shown us the height of expectations which we keep from others and the amount of interest we have in our branch.
I hope that criticism here would be taken positively and will not create any difference amongst us. And yes we have a lot more important topics to discuss now. What about mid-sem schedule?? For instance….Post your ideas.

The Last Lecture

Hey all,

Interesting to know this blog is getting a good amount of hits everyday (hour). 

I want all of you to check out this article/audio file/video about this person called "Dr. Randy Pausch", a Computer Science professor at the Carnegie Mellon University. 

At CMU they have these series of lectures titled "The Last Lecture"- where a prof is expected to give one last presentation/lecture assuming that it would be their last.

Basically, it is aimed at answering the question "What knowledge/advice would you want to pass on to the world if you knew you didn't have too much time left?"

Now, this particular prof. was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was given about 6 months to live when he delivered his "Last Lecture". 

The actual video is not on Youtube.com, this is a 'reprise' on Oprah's show.

Check it out-

He passed away on the 25th July, 2008.

Of Indians and Indian Cities

Taking the mud-slinging a little further, I’d like to point out that the ‘suckass’ness (in vocabulary that you understand the best ) of the fresher’s had much to do with the lack of entertainment and possibly nothing to do with the food-committee or EMCEEing (which only involves calling the juniors on stage to introduce themselves). The food committee may not have served its purpose but that was not the reason for the boredom.

Third years were flocking at the food-counter (like all normal human beings do at the prospects of major boredom while the aforementioned ‘games’ are being conducted onstage). No ‘suckassful’ show can be ‘enjoyed’ when so mundane.

I assure you, as EMCEE I have enough and more access to NW than you do and I have absolutely no reason to consult that particular reporter even if I had to access NW. While at that, I might as well congratulate you for invoking such interest in NW members (minus the targeted one) and more for the food-court incident.

You say you didn’t know the actual reason behind the fight. It was, in fact, in favor of those people not getting food (including you ... despite you being a part of that certain city). I may or may not belong to a particular Indian city (I assure you I don’t find the need to confine myself to just one … this being such a huge country and all that) but I do possess the normal humane concerns for the poor audience being killed to death … slowly and steadily … in a desperate act to bring all junior girls onstage at the same time.

As for the final year CR, he was probably the most bored of the lot (specially having commented about the ‘outstanding’ selection and conduction of the games).

And about not making guys any ‘dumber’. Don’t you want to think that through, just one more time? (Or are you even more incapable than I thought)

P.S. Dear Buddha, I fully appreciate what you said but I’m sorry, Darth Siddius and I have very low resistance for Sauron-type characters. It’s probably the non-Indian-city effect.

'if its to be, its upto you"

I know not how long this blog is gonna persist. It might be just a momentary fantasy or a notebook for a life time. Everything has a soul. I believe its our fellow bloggers who form this soul. What you reflect today is what you think today. Time will change all of us. If this blog exist even after say 30 years from now what you blogged today can turn out to be nostalgic reminiscences of an eventful college life full of energy, opinions, persuasions, romance, gossips, fun and what not!
With whatsoever administrative privileges i possess its important to channelise the discussions in this blog in a non-offensive but delicious way. Lets not tinker with the same topics. What we need is a change and my dear bloggers 'if its to be, its upto you.' There are so many things under the sun(or might be beyond it!) to discuss. So please.................

The thing that was ...............the FRESHERS

Well since, everyone around here have started there first blogs with these line - "Well since, everyone around here have started blogging about their views and, well I thought I should also join in..." i won't use them........anyways my first blog today will be about the suckassful FRESHERs that we had for our juniors.

To begin with there was general chaos in distributing the food to all of us.Some people in the so called food committee can be best described as "they came, they saw, they ate". Many of the third years were found near the food desk fighting for food rather than sitting and enjoying the show, to make matters worse some were seen (including our beloved ex-CR, who I thought really let his friend Pajji down..........) hogging more than their share of food.One of the HQ member was later found asking for refund since he did not get any food (dude, a piece of advice......Fresher's is all about Junior Senior interactions and not about the food).

This was followed by games which lacked enthu from both the crowd and the participants, I agree that some of the games sucked but since there were no better suggestions from anyone in the class we were forced to play them (when the games were being decided in the trical HQ most of the people present there were silent( dumb)........)

I saw one of my friend blogging about how the music sucked and I was even more surprised as I remember him doing nothing else in the freshers( dude....if u think u are a brilliant DJ, by all means ur welcome to perform ........)

There was also a brawl between a certain MC and a certain NEWS WAGON reporter, I don't know the details or the reasons for the fight but I hear it involves lack of coverage about the MC in news wagon. The reporter was also pissed with our mascot for supporting the MC( dear reporter--our mascot argues for the sake of argument and he is dumb, don't take it personally)

The MC was also found cribbing with the final year CR that the reason for flop show was that people from a certain city did not do any work.

(...........perhaps we can assume that people who do not belong to any INDIAN city did all the work)

And about the second years well.....they can be best described as despo boys (the CR being the most despo among them) and shy (i know shy is not the right word but i am forced to use due to vulgarity issues........) girls. The second years lacked enthu and their was no unity among them.The only song dedications were coming from third years

During the paper dance a certain "intelligent" girl (if ur still guessing who.....well then i will give u a clue, her academic interest is shopping) and an idiot had this conversation with us
third years - " dude lift her up......."
"intelligent" girl - " I don't think he has the strength to lift me ............"
idiot - "ya, I don't think i have the strength to lift her..........."
Trust me, they don't make guys any dumber

Finally our CR worked really hard for the freshers and I really feel sorry for him.

The party never started...

Hey my homies, I see the blogging bug spreading all over the campus, and i really didn't see the point behind it.. but somehow i find myself behind this screen writing my first blog.. I'm afraid this one's a bit negative but I cant really help it with the kind of freshers i just experienced. So what exactly went wrong? I'll start off with the food, cuz thats what most of us came for anyways..

The menu for the freshers was supposed to be really good with a pizza being the main course.
For 150 bucks, we got half of what the menu had to offer.. with a few missing the goddamn main course (which included myself btw).... Most of the "so called food committee" incharges believed their job at hand was to eat the food themselves rather than distribute it.. Almost all final years went back with empty stomachs.. The ice creams were the only item in excess.. but with the organizers running short of spoons, we had no way to consume them.. futile attempts were made with straws as an alternative...

The music selection was worse than pathetic... The volume wasn't loud enough, and it failed to cover up the booing the second years initiated at regular intervals... The same old lame games were back on display... The participants lacked any enthusiasm and the combined effect made the whole show a goddamn bore.. The frequent power cuts didn't exactly help.. Many left the event halfway and the show ended prematurely with the event turning out to be a fiasco..

I pity Paaji as he tried his best to make the event a success, but the other organizers let him down comprehensively.

But Patku can't spell salaa!!

Guten Tag!
Yet another eventful Deutsche class was going on in L-402. The mystery man was in a never ever seen mood. There was an attempt to teach the German numbers. It took the form of a game- 7 up! eins(1), zwei(2), drei(3), vier(4), funf(5), sechs(6), sieben(7) !! hey no, you are not supposed to spell 'sieben'. Instead utter this crunchy word 'ouisch'. And that was indigestible. The 'o' transforms from english 'o' to 'a'. Shape your lips like a cashew and try spelling 'o'. ( try it !!)
Now the crux of this blog post reveals when it came to Patku who was supposed to utter this word OUISCH. We could witness all the navarasas on patku's face. His lips were moving, at times taking the cashew form but there came no sound. Laudable was his arduous attempt to spell it. It was a rare chance to see the mystery man bursting into laughter and the whole class in chorus.

much to my dismay....my fellow bloggers or rather my fellow classmates have restrained me from using sms lingo...ok fine i think i shall abide by it...anyways can some one do something about the trical chaat ''06 pic which has been put up...i think its not all that catchy....may be the gizmos and photo shop experts can do something about it...

n yea....i guesss....every1s goin sumwher for the weekend.....so hav fun people.....

Nuggets.

Having had almost all classes cancelled in the morning I thought why not contribute, to our very own trical blog and what better way to start off than a few interesting pieces of gossip or just hilarious incidents.

The elections came and went and boy didn't they create quite some excitement!
Prospects apparently looked good for a certain candidate till the early hours of the D-Day and then due to a few rather exciting change of equations the tables were turned and the rest is as they say history!!

(PS - Great job Paji! Its nice to have almost a whole day off even for present trical standards
Tussi great ho paji! Lets play AOE! )



Alright, in other news, our trical mascot (don't you dare ask who!) lost his specs in a rather freaky turn of events -- they slid OUT the toilet window and fell 2 floors below!
We would rather not ask any questions, for the sheer weirdness of the answers.....
(Our man here ends up with a new pair of used briefs every morning on his clothesline, and of course his famed 2 hours in the toilets are unquestionable!)
For those ignorant fools, this mascot can be seen strutting around with his new black-blue frames in style.


And now over to the main course..

The first year roommate of the mascot (the more vocal one) had a certain incident a with a certain someone at our very own food court.
If you have continued to be an ignorant moron, don't worry what is this kareemangya for?!
Interested parties may choose from a wide range of story durations to get the entire scoop.
There is also news that the key eye witness might be holding main building sessions for every ones convenience.

That's it for now I am guessing.
I will keep you updated ... just bring in the stories trical hommies ;)


(PS - For those jackasses who think a trical blog is lame......SCREW YOU!)

Bloggers unite !

Shortage of attendance? Don't worry, you are never gonna miss the gossips and grapevines in the class from now on! Was there something that made you laugh from the belly and you always wanted to tell your friends?The extra curricular activities going on and on in the class. The latest proposal( or disposal) stories. The trips............ There sleeps a blogger in everyone and its high time to wake him up. Lets start blogging.
