Fresher's party

What will our teachers answer for "Why did the chicken crosss the road?"

Jawahar Sir:
You tell Me !! :)


Sangal Sir:
The chicken has a vision to cross the road... and
we shouldn't get just see this mundane step of crossing the road.. every chicken out there crosses the road, we need to see the beauty and the elegance of this process..!! :)

Prof Naidu:
Well, actually the crux of the matter is whether chicken crossed the road or the road crossed it.. you see... everybody has its own interpretation...
according to Newton ^*&&**(^%^(%&)(*)(*_)(*(*... @!#%&^
According to Langrange ^#@%&^*)+*$^^(*&)(*_)(_(@$##%%
According to the special theory of relativity %(^*&*&(*&(*&(*&!!!#&^&
Well may be Dr. Jayanti will help us in this regard ... Madam !!


Jayanti Ma'am:
Aa.haan !! Well, you see these days it has become a fashion... everybody crosses some limits.... I won't say its not a COOL thing to do..but we would have appreciated it more if the chicken would had informed the SLC in advance...

Prof Govindrajulu:
You all useless reckless fellows... You all have nothing to do... except wasting your time.. doing all sorts of tamasha...and now like the Nababs of Hyderabad... Always think of chickens and Kababs huh...

Pour in with your creativity...

BEFORE I CAME TO COLLEGE I WISH I HAD KNOWN...

- that it didn't matter how late I scheduled my first class I'd
sleep right through it(or rather sleep in my room right through it !)

- that I would change so much and barely realize it.

- that college kids throw airplanes, too.

- that if you wear polyester everyone will ask you why you're so
dressed up.

- that every clock on campus shows a different time.

- that if you were smart in highschool - so what?

- that I would go to a party the night before a final.

- that you can know everything and fail a test.

- that you can know nothing and ace a test.

- that home is a great place to visit.

- that most of my education would be obtained outside my classes.

- that friendship is more than getting drunk together.

- that I would be one of those people my parents warned me about.

- that free food served at 10:00 is gone by 9:50.

- that Sunday is a figment of the world's imagination.

- that it is a really good idea to go places alone.

- that it's possible to be alone even when you're surrounded by
friends.

- that friends are what makes this place worthwhile!

- don't be dismayed at goodbyes.

- a farewell is necessary before we can meet again, and meeting
again, after moments or a lifetime, is certain for those who are
friends.

the other winnng letter

Dear Pratham,

I miss you a lot today. I miss those wonderful days we spent
together. I miss the fun we had teasing each other. I miss the games
we used to play in your garden. It's been 3 long years since I've seen
you and there's a lot that I learnt about myself and our relation in
this gap.
In these 3 years, I had met many people. I had seen a bigger
world. There were all kinds of people, some good, some bad. There were
also people who cared a lot for me. But all along, I felt like a
loner. There were people around me, but none close to my heart. I
thought I was building this block myself and wasn't letting people
into my life and so I tried to let go of all such tangles. Things were
still the same.
I didn't realise what it was to be in love when you had
expressed your feelings for me. Over time, I realised that the divide
between friendship and love had blurred. I started loving you Pratham.
You are my first love and the only true one. You are 'pratham' to me
in my life. The feeling that you exist makes my life beautiful! I
thank you for gifting me with these wonderful moments of life. I've
heard that love is the most cherished feeling and now I feel it too.
Wherever you are, I will always pray for your happiness. At
any point in life, if you are in need of a person, please remember
that this silly girl cares the most for you and would go out of the
way to help you. I do miss you but I understand that
your career is equally important. I wouldn't want to let down your
parents nor mine. So let's fulfil our responsibilities first and our
love will take care of our lives!

Tons of love,
yours ever,
your love.

Majji's mail

Woke up seeing majji's mail. So created a login in blogspot and finally, am able to give my comments to the issue raised. The question he asked was, "Why does gdit2k1 rock??". So guys here are a few reasons why gdit2k1 rocks.
1) Cos it was us who bought along the "Deemed University" tag (of course our seniors and theirs fought for it but we will choose to conveniently forget about that ;) ).
2)IT was US who liberalized ragging.
3) It was OUR batch which COMPLETED IIIT (i.e. we were the 4th batch and thus iiit for the first time in it's history had all the 4years of it's very esteemed BTech degree.. we know our alumni by face)
4)The esteemed honour of frustrating our profs.
5) Brought along the concept of cultural events like FELICITY(started in 2k1), AMALGAM etc..
6) It was we who are responsible for bringing out descipline in IIIT (in the form of attendence rules, punctuality etc)
7) We can boast of having the cream of the laziest ppl.
8) Showed to the whole college what pilfering of bandwidth is (many ppl still are under probation for that ;) ).
9) Having the best of all cultural and acads. I dont want to go into the acads for obvious reasons, but in cultural we have the best violinist, best dancer (in the form of patke ;) ), best netas (the list is endless.....) and ya, gamers of great repute.
10) We started g*ydit2k1.
11) The max. downloaded movies and "downloaders".
12) Showed to our other awed juniours as well as seniors how to pass exams with little or NO effort at all ;).
13) HARDWORK???
14) Saw the whole construction of our great stadium complex.
15) Saw the insti grow from 2 floors to 3 floors.
16) Haunted the 3rd floor of obh exclusively.
17) We taught our Dean perl ;).
18) The least avg. GPA (remember 1st year?? )
19) Were responsible for the cleanliness drive and subsequent banning of celebrating holy in the hostel premises.
20)...... many more to go but u see i have a lot of backlogs in movies to complete so kindly fill in.... :)

Hey Guys, Do give ur suggestions!!!

We(lets say many of us) need ur(all our batchmates) suggestions regarding our upcoming 'year book'(not sure about this name, it can always be thougth about later). Please make sure ur suggestions are heard, by jotting them down in this blog (not this post necessarily). Don't regret later as having not contributed to your own year-book. (senti)

Basic questions we have in our mind and like ur comments on:
1) What should be content of the book in a broad sense, we think we should have everyone's thought about life/friends/future/memorable moments etc, but what about other peoples testimonials etc?
2) We should make a CD as well as a hard copy kind off. Hard Copy will be a printed version(reduced), so the contents have reduced from CD before them in this Hard Version. CD will surely have lots of comments etc, but we need to freeze the CD sometime, should we start with a editable stuff(person giving comment can edit his comments) and freeze it later, or should be freeze content as it comes?
3) What kind of photographs etc to bring in to it?
4) How to make sure ppl don't feel any prejudice/extra boosting given to anyone in this whole effort.
5) more awaited ...

the winning letter...

Here goes the winning letter of 'Valentine's Love Letter contest'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Picture this :: This letter was supposed to be sent from to guy to a girl, whom he was friends with back in school. They were pretty close friends and as the guy claims, he liked her ever since he saw her, but just couldn’t tell her. After 3 years in college, he has gathered enough courage to send her a letter. In the meanwhile, the girl has sent a card and a couple of letters to him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dearest ,
First of all I am really sorry for not talking to you for such a long time and I know that u must be thinking that IIIT has changed me but believe me it has not .. I have been thinking about writing to you for a long time now and today I finally gathered enough time ( and as you read on .. enuf guts ) to write to you ... so howz life at ur end .. I hope you must be doing well at College.. howz every1 at home .. I got your letter and card a long time back and was thinking about writing to you since then..
I know what I am goin to say may sound a bit strange to you..but it is strange to me as well .. I never thought I cud be like this.. I never knew I could miss you so much to say what I am going to say .. but ever since we have separated our ways ( when I came to this college ) the feeling to closeness to you has been more than ever .. when I was with you I never thought what life would be like without you .. but someone has rightly said "feelings grow stronger with distances " .. u know when I got into college I was so happy that I never gave a thought to "us" .. but now things are different ..
my exams are approaching and now every exam brings with it the thoughts and memories of us sitting together and studying .. it's sort of a nostalgic feeling ... but certainly i miss u more than I miss home or anything else .. I may not have been able to convey these things to you and you may have been thinking that I never think about you .. but I do .. and more so with every passing day .. whenever I sit down and think about the moments we have had, the "sweet nothings" and "u first" .. I sometimes get so emotional thinking about it that my friends think that I like you .. but I am not sure what this is .. I certainly haven’t felt like this about anyone else .. ever .. and u were the first girl I ever talked to so intimately .. the times we have spent together are the best memory I've had ..
You know, I have many "friends who are girls" here .. but they are all so different from you .. and yet so similar to you .. I talk to them only because they seem to be so much like you .. each of them seems to have a touch of you .. it's a pity that I can't put them all together to get you but I am sure I wished I could .. I have often thought about you and how much people here are "you" .. but I still miss you .. I wished I could pen my exact emotions but I can't .. that is because even I don't know what I feel about you .. right now all I can say is that I miss you .. I realy really miss you ..
I will really be very happy if u can reply to this letter .. I am eagerly waiting for ur reply .. and one more thing .. If you want to mail me I guess u have my address but u may have deleted it because of my attitude .. well here it is again

Future plans yes sure...

As rocky's post say, we had discussions over this on our Simla Trip. I feel it good to share my future plans/wishes too....

I wish to have my own Lab for making new kind of hardwares, like a foldable computer. I would always like to trip around the world, meet more and more people, and have more and more fun in life. I would love a GEEKY life always.(I feel so atleast now).

All the money I earn, should be spent in having fun in life, thats why I don't target at earning a lot or something, a decent salary would suffice, just peace of mind should be there at work. Opening new business harnessing the latest technologies is also one of my interest.

Some contribution to society like Rocky is a must, I wish to help in providing Computer literacy to ppl in India.

Bas itna sa khwab hai ...

actually Chandoo's post reminds me of our shimla trip ... when all of us got bored with every possible thing that we could have done on such a trip, i.e antakshari, dumb charades, discussion of love lives ( basically the crushes and crashes ;) ) we moved on to our future plans.. how would we like to see ourselves after say 20-25 years from now... I think initially it was like our immediate goals (2-3 yrs from now0 short term goals ( 5-10 yrs from now) and ultimate wish (20-30 yrs later or after retirement).. but finally we settled on the long term plans...
Any way I won't disclose what other said (though there was nothing that secret), let everyone write himself... coming to my future plans... well a little correction.. its not a plan... my wishes for my future life :)



I don't really remember what I said that evening... but taking from others and also adding some of my wishes... I would like to see myself living happily with my family in a beautiful house in some hilly area, with a room full of books. A peaceful surroundings... I hope that I'll have a nice, caring and understanding wife to accompany me there :)

I don't want to beceome the richest person on the earth, I know that I'll earn sufficient money to have a life like what Kabir has said "Sai, itna dijiye jame kutumb samaye, main bhi bhookha na rahoon, Sadhu na bhukha jaye". That is enough money to take care of myself and any guest that comes to my door...

I would love to run a school, not for charity purpose but to help the society which has given everything to me...

As per my professional life is concerned, I wish to repeat what Jack Welch has done... Those who don't know Jack Welch never left the first company he joined(GE) for any other company and finally retired from GE as its CEO...

Well !! Kuch jyada hi wish kar liya lagta hai... so stopping myself here... keep in touch guys to know the latest news from my side ..

---
Rocky


PS: Chandoo we can't edit someone else's post :(

future plans

Now that we will be away from each other, lets write what we intend to do in the upcoming years...something like 'where do you want to see yourself after 5 years' :)) we can write what we want to do in academics, what type of life, work etc...anything that you find suitable...

we can add on to the same post by adding sth like this using 'edit posts' utility
lets make this page more active...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sandeep Chandna-> I have had lot of fun being in IIIT and would like to continue it for all my life...I feel having fun is the best part in one's life as there is a saying (recited by AB in Black) 'life is like an ice-cream, eat it before it melts' ... I believe in the statement ... so I would love to have fun as much as possible while working, while hanging out etc...I dont have many plans for future as far as academics is concerned but 5-6 years from now I will have a master's degree for sure...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hey guys ,gear up

this space was reserved with the motive that this will become an active area where we will share our experiences,but i dont know why,may be people are too busy trying to enjoy their last few days here.Or is it that some may be thinking that what to write since we still are here,but we should start this activity to continue hereafter.

So do take ur time out to write sth here.It need not be dealing with the whole batch, may be some people and slowly-n-slowly all will join in here.
