A WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

*Prerequisite:1.Watch the movie"A Wednesday" 2.little knowledge abt current affairs

Well ,wondering yet another rumination of "BDD"stories? Ofcourse, wednesdays had nothing else to offer  in this sem.But  synonyms widen with time.Wednesdays had given me the privilege to persist in a blog in the midst of some high quality philosphies.It made me dauntless to exist  inspite of some exceptional "DEFECTION" reports.It was my  lone source of hunch in a rather barren land of thoughts and perceptions.However,my post mid sem session with movies showed that"A WEDNESDAY" had lot more to offer.A person named Neeraj Pandey had something more to tell about a wednesday.Infact, for him its the day of resurgence of the common man.Well i dont want to irk you people more.Niether am i going to disclose the very suspense which is the true essence of the story.Saturday 6.30 pm justified Mr Neeraj Pandey.Yes ,we need wednesdays to come.Not JUST once in a week.More.....still more.. We,the 5SBtians are ready to bear with more BDD classes in a week if we can terminate such inhumane activities.

The twilight sky of saturday concealed the fate of 22 innocent beings in its deceptive redness.Dont know how many more such skies we should anticipate in the coming days.Well, life do throw uncertainities.But it has got its own justifications.Who are these savage forces to to dictate our destiny?Well,i dont want to add up more...I know all of us hold these feelings,frustrations....Let us hope  for a day of resurgence....................a day of  renovation.......

Condolences to all those innocent brothers and sisters..........

Ooops...

Ooops. An era seems to have passed. 6 days and 6 nights. Most often sleepless. Most often clueless. So here I am. I don’t feel like having fought a great battle. But yeah there is this feeling…Thank God I survived thru’ it. The ordeal isn’t over yet. How can I forget all the assessments of my stupid answers, that I’ll be receiving very soon!!!

50 marks- and how much do I score!!! Who will score more than me and who less??? How well I’ll improve upon my last performance??? Which subject I’m gonna give more attention and which the least??? Such should be the line of thought of my dear friends, cutting across all branches, all years of engineering…right here, right now!!!

Before that, of course the usual relaxed, chilled out attitude of a Mid Sem being over. The Yippee’s, the Hurray’s, the Ohhh’s that so characterized you, me and them…they were a great sight, especially after that horrible deadly silence that had palled over the entire college during the past week. Ehhh…Those are gone. I like it this way.

Should I go on living in the past or look forward at the future!!! I don’t know. But I know for sure, I will stop having nightmarish dreams. I’ll stop dreaming MTP questions the night before ASE paper. I’ll stop feeling nervous about a worthless shit of a paper that’s for some stupid reason is considered to be 50 marksworth. And of all things, I’ll stop studying for a while, which has the potential of extending till the next set of exams come, bigger in magnitude, better in quality, nothing you have ever faced before!!! Yeah the End Sems.

We all see a thousand posters, notices everyday adorning our hostel walls, notice boards and what not. Those little pieces of paper, are often wow, celebrating some great interesting event, function…and of course appealing our hearts straight out, not to miss the opportunities and be a part of it. How nice!!!

Now imagine this. It’s November ’08. The classes have been over for a week now. The End Sems are what we are waiting for, with bated breath. As if that was not enough, you have posters all over the college, you have pamphlets in your rooms. What do they say, Who was it sent by? Yeah…they would be from your institute, respective departments, the teachers. Inviting.

“ Welcome friends. Come and enjoy. It’s pure fun out here!

Remember the Mid Sems?

Well, this time it jus’ got bigger and better and got more!

Here we present you the End Sems!”

I bid adieu. With a lot happening all over the world, mostly bad, it’s really sad. It’s like 20 years hence, we’ll remember our NITK days, when the present spate of horrible events are mentioned in passing, in the newspapers, in the political, social discussions. For us it would be a mix of the bad that happened to the world and the life we lived at NITK as 5sBT’s!!!

first post and i am glad to congratulate all civilians on being crowned the best of all in today's event...... best among all other departments.. so congrats people.. and best wishes or the upcoming boring, time consuming, mug based hopeless mid sems...

Vexation Guaranteed!!!!!!!!!!!

Well,here i am again in front of you all( few) to present my insane ideas and thoughts.Yet another tuesday on its way,though bit different from normal tuesdays.Thanks to the lighter confrontation session of Mr CR at the end, to flee from the world of bio's n sphere's.But thats not a big deal for me.Reckon same is the case for all you 5SBT civilians.But still why these so called "5SBT civilians" seem to rejoice today? Afterall, this was the day most loathe by these people. Its believed that Lord Ganesha was born with mission to eradicate iniquity n injustice.I do believe so.Thats why the year 2008 had Ganesh Chathurthi on a day most loathe by 5SBT civilians.Though lord is constrained from execution of the demon "BDD"(WEDNESDAY DEMON),he assured a momentary relief.God knows what revenge is in store for these poor kids.
Well,the great epics Ramayana n Mahabharatha portrays a lot of demons.The very atrocious scene about these is that 'one always follow the other'.Peace was always at stake untill an "avathara" descended.Now lets come back to kalyug.To be precise, to the year 2008.Here they are the poor kids of 5SBT civil,obliged to suffer the consequences of everything under the sun.There lies the demon,fully emasculted by the lord(though for a short time span).Wait,whats there?Hey,there comes yet another demon.Guess who???????Its Mr Midsem.I know you all guessed him right.Why not, if you have been used to him for past two years.Does getting inured assures something to sigh upon?Anyhow VEXATION IS GUARANTEED!!!!!!!!!!

i DuNnO CiViL

All things said about BDD, Bunking, Blogging, Branch Freshers…is this the week of “BBBB”ing in Civil, on Civil, of Civil???

When GB Shaw said ‘Those who can’t, they teach’, and that was aeons ago, he surely laid down a truth for the whole eternity. I like that. It says so much about us as well. Ain’t we like ‘We can, so we engineer’. Too constricted a view! Too un-holy an attitude! Fine, but I stand by it!

Here’s my contradiction.

I don’t know, or perhaps I don’t want to know why am I engineering. I am pursuing civil, but do I ever feel like the engineer-to-be, the-technocrat-to-be?

Both viewpoints rule my mind.

I heard a lot, I saw a lot, I wondered a lot and even I dreamed a lot. That was yesterday.

What about today then…Well I C-Evil a lot. I can’t help it…satire, pessimism, criticism. That sums it up.

Hey, all this, why on earth? Why do I need to soul search a lot…these days? Introspecting, Ruminating, Clarifying…what else and what not!

Remembering the past few days, highlight of which was the freshers party definitely. As and when, I for the matter got to know the different layers, the different shades, the different differences…we all have. 5sBTs, as we are, so we are. Each part, each thing, each aspect of the freshers party…we handled the way we wanted it to be. I am so full of admiration, for all of us…and for myself as well. Self-congratulatory, does it seem so! But then as I said ‘As we are, so we are’!!!

If I stuff my BDD assignment in the cupboard and indulge in everything else, I am happy, I am satisfied. In fact I am at peace. It shows in my face, it just glows. Try checking out with yourself.

Logically, I’m for what I feel, not what I think. But challenges are such, they need the mind to work and the heart to rest. This I fail to do sometimes an end up messing up just everything. Like I do with my days and nights…I love lazing around, I feel for it. But that’s insanity, you can’t!

“You just canna sleep and sit…

You hafta run and fall…

You gotto rise and run…

Under the blazing sun…

Under the starry sky…

Under the moonless night…

Under the raining clouds…”

Musings, as these, never cease to stop.

May be generalizing too much on life and ignoring civil was not my idea here. Here I ask you to bear with me. That gives me the freedom to climb up a TV tower and shout ‘i DuNnO CiViL’.

Blogs apart

Chalo a lot has been said and written about the inactivity on the blog front.
venky dear dear, its difficult to come up with something to put up..
U have seen me struggle with my write ups too..
it happens that some ppl have nothing to share
or they don wanna share or are just shy to share...
or perhaps not share on the public domain..
U know it yourself how busy we have been over
the past week with freshers and
not to mention paper loads of bullshit.
So it is but naturale tat ppl have shrunk into their own worlds 2 work
and 2 rest.

Don't get frustrated no one is bloggin regularly..
the habit is yet to sink in,and given the hectic 5th sem,
it ain't gonna sink
too soon.

and now i might sound like a rule book...
but i feel its not right to take names
ppl will do wat they want
ppl will xpress wen de want
someone wrote 1 log on a chiken, but it sure is memorable;
the alchemist finds a philosophy a week;
Omi wil return soon to his bloggin streak;


its natural tat wen something special is up (eg. elections)
every one has opinions... and the blog opening co incided with it, giving a
mirage of rush of activity on the site..
wait on...Some day again something special will happen and
this will spring to life..
till then its for the one's (like me) who just can't shut up to voice over here..
and ya , dont compare us with psychos..
they are but pshychos
bleeding each other over a fresh(er) matter..

remember ;
be it rolling planes or cliff tops,
we are but forever the civil buffs.

cool..

BDD sux

i know all know it
for it is a universal fact
all wanna tear up their sheets(xcept maak perhaps) but don do it cos they'll have to redraw and submit
the whole bullshit crap of a thing
but the universal truth remains...

IN OBLIVION..............

To begin with, hats off to 5SBT civilians for organising a mindblowing fresher party.Mr CR ,all kudos to you for having coordinated the program so well.The very essence of the program was to see civilians putting out their heart to make the party splendid enough(remember 5SBT civilians never believe in mother-in-law syndrome).
Well, am i here to just exaggerate n congratulate u people? Definitely not.As you can see, my title does nt suit the same.I am here to bring into ur notice the kind of recognition obtained for a blog which was started by a"psycho" for the "psychos".The very beginning of that blog says"inspired by the civil blog".Well i don think we have inspired them with anything otherthan the initial enthusiasm.It is very disheartening to see our blog turning up to be esoteric of late.
What happened Mr.Buff & u Mr.Dash?How did ur passion vanish so fast?Is it already the time for the requiem of our blog?You Mr Omi, is the elections the end of events for 5SBTS?And you Ms Shipu, cant anything other than MHP stories n Pinky thesis inspire u to have a go?
Or is it that we should go on to the path of confrontations for making our blog a big hit(as the psychos did).Gear up dear ones.Is it the end of our blog.My dear "alchemist in offing",is that all u intended? If so , lets have the requiem for the blog.......................................

All is fair in love &.................?

Rumination it may appear,but it wont tire your hands and back.Inane it might sound,but wait untill i finish my dear frndz.Its yet another wednesday evening.But for we civilians it is"The Wednesday".Wednesdays always had something in store for us for the last one month.Well i am not here to give condlence to you people for what had happened to you people in the past week.Nor do i dare to present those when you have "The masters of creed" & "Alchemists in the offing".Scrupulous i was in all my actions.Now the very usage of "was"might get a few interested i believe( if not many).So proud i was for being able to salvage my "morals".Alas, the last monday had taken back that esteem from me.Send in the form of a course named "BDD" i was fully tattered and battered with no scope for fair play in resistance.Yes ,atlast i did it.Again i repeat,inane it might sound for many,but it matters a lot for me.Am i here apologise? Am i here to repent ? well, i dont know.I heard my primary teacher saying "All is fair in love & war".Dont know where it came from.Nor do i bother to.Afterall i got something to cover myself.Yes it was fair enough to do it.It was fair enough to do so at the twelfth hour when the whole block went to sleep.It was fair enough to save my hands and vertebra which took me so long in life.It was fair enough to surrender all my pride and self esteem.Questions may arise with all its vitalities.I do entertain them.For , life has always been like that.But at the end of the day ,my dear "ALCHEMIST",you are right and i am wrong.But fair dice cannot always help you.Though it may provide just a momentary relief,it counts a lot.I believe atleast few of my"unscruplous mates" do agree this with "stretched arms" right in front .Let me end in a good note.The great reservoir of knowledge bhagvad gita says"Dharma is not a rigid code of conduct. Within a general framework of moral values, dharma is always changing, according to the needs and development of society and that of the human ".Well i dared to change dharma for a good cause(though myself being the cause and effect).Do you remember those favourite words of my good old primary teacher?All is fair in love and.......well, i got it "All is fair in love & BDD".And of course dont forget the famous saying"All is well that ends well".

i HeLl CiViL [ may I, plz?]

In all this whole world, where the hell did we land, what the hell are we doing!

Ever wondered and pondered over this?

I can’t help but just be sad, sad for myself, but do I enjoy the liberty to curse, to think bad about all this?

Is this about pursuing civil engineering or the whole of it all… the whole existence, the whole going through the motions… what’s up man?

Are we gonna get ground and smashed into bits and pieces…so that all we are left of ourselves is just a nothing…is it so?

Too much pessimism or too much questioning? What is putting you off so far? Exactly… now imagine at the end of the day all you have is a thousand such thoughts rummaging your mind, destroying your peaceful dreams, driving you crazy and playing havoc with you!

So with this where are am I heading to?

What I had in the last week was more than enough for me.

More than 15 hours of drawing to make me realize what people used to do in the ancient days when the better way around is CAD, what can I say! Never bother if that logic is to be applied to the teacher itself, will he be ready to adorn himself with leaves and twigs and replace his already tattered bike with the bullock cart… I guess not! Weekends ruined, back aching like hell, what I was left with was just observe the others… their ingenious ways of completing the same drawing homework. Never been witness to the Glass sheet-Emergency lamp setup in my life, I was surely excited and curious to this wow sight. The balancing act, the exactly right pressure applied on glass, the positioning of light…the straight thinking guys who believe in the old school of thought of hard work can never match this delicate skill…can they ever…not at all! But the results, the assessment, never care for them…they are as same as the other. The same leaves & twigs-bullock cart teacher is not smart enough to distinguish between milk and water…so sad, ain’t it?

Am I complaining or am I exclaiming in pain? Leave it…not worth answering.

Am I ready to risk my life for just a job that pays just 2.5k a month? Hey…I have to. Don’t I remember what I was advised just last week, my job satisfaction is more important, I need not run after money, it will follow me wherever I go, heaven/hell, tall building/deep tunnel, Sahara/Antartica just everywhere!

How about giving an MTP test…c’mon give it a try. All we need is to read everything, mug it up like hell and justify the fact ‘There is no best way of managing’! Yeah, right ma’am, absolutely. With the kind of lectures you treat us with everyday, we are convinced that all of management is waste, absolute and whole. Now I guess even 2 years of time learning the waste principles at any IIM won’t convince me that managing is worth it…right fellas!

More and more of all that. Uncountable. Don't bother to know them all. Better ignored!

"Draw " my Insurance

yeah.... Finally its done..
The three day "draw"l is over and i find liberation to indulge in life's more sensible issues.
Right from the beginning i was never "draw"n to this course (i believe dere are many of us).
Had an an argument wit the tall-fair-mallu abt the utility of the course and after some useless parries and raised low voices; i gave up wen the man said try telling this to the instructor.
well whatever happened happened
Now coming t the serious issue.... the work over the three days have "draw"n my muscles tense especially in the back... The back pain will takes days or months or years to subside (cos i see more drawing coming).
And since this will develop into a serious problem ; hurting my future; i ask mr.instructor, will you "draw" my medical insurance?


I take this oppurtunity to thank Mr. Jerry Seinfield whose humor carried me thru the "drawn"out work.
I also sincerely thank Batman and Robin for their intense criminal catching show to entertain me in the time of "draw"l.

The barber's sting-op..

this is coming a bit late,... but still...

well,... the man had a haircut... and so, unless there's some hi-tech organic hair transplant industry that I'm unaware of, the verdict is clear: IT'S REAL.

Very disappointing to have a brilliant hypothesis like that thrown out with the flick of a pair of scissors. Now I know what Galileo must have felt....

fyz
P.s Buffy, looks like you'll have to write an obituary for this place soon....

Hats Off...

Hats off to all my classmates....
Hats off for they are so active..
Unlike me who's been sleeping in class for the past 3 days..
My brain just doesn't take the load of sleeping at one and waking at 7.30 to attend the japan returned boring grandpa's class or the conceretest of mentalities.
so hats off.
just end with a wisecrack i heard wen i was half asleep...

Nerd: What is the height above Mean Sea Level (MSL) of Jaipur?
Bigmouth: Jaipur? I don't know much about jaipur.....
except it is the place in Rajasthan where Hawa Mahal is situated and
it is called the pink city. Sawai jai singh's capital... i think there is a jantar mantar
there too....
Nerd:Hmmm... U know a lot about Jaipur...
Except its height above MSL..

Then i fell asleep again.


C ya ppls.

i PhilosophizE CiviL

It's Tuesday again. Sorry for the prolonged absence.

The passion that defined those initial days, the enthusiasm that was just infectious has subsided, sorry to say that though. What has been happening in the mean time is worth taking note of, worth pondering over. In my case I had my share of infighting, the alter ego and me arguing, discussing ‘Why blog in the first place and create the need to meet online when the simple way around would be a face to face conversation? What urge is that I am trying to satisfy with this online forum? What could this be other than just a timepass?’ Questions that they are, their answers I don’t seem to get!

Wait! Don’t go away. I never can fathom the reason but that’s it. ‘Sunsets are surely intoxicating. They make you do away with muzzy, fuzzy thoughts and give you the eureka moments. It’s just that philosophy goes hand-in-hand with sunsets.’ So here I am with the sunset outside and my philosophy inside.

Rain and thunder ditched us at the last moment and BDD class happened much to our dismay. That was Wednesday. With the impending extra holiday on Friday, the atmosphere on Thursday was of excitement for the forthcoming weekend. It’s ideal for everyone of us and suits our style- this 4working-3off days week. I vouch for it and I’m sure I’ve staunch supporters.

Weekends never seem to give one the success of having spent even 10 minutes with books. I’m really an experienced person when it comes to dealing with the guilt pangs that attack just before Monday morning. ‘What if I had studied a bit, just a tiny bit? I could take the whole class by storm, I would be the perfect role model, the ideal student… and all that!’ But you definitely know, with experience one acquires nerves of steel, and in my case even more having dealt with them for so many weekends altogether!

Monday morning blues seems to be the most cliched expression of all time among students- they are bugged by it, they talk about it, they even swear by it and for good measure. That makes life interesting, ain’t it? In all probabilities I should surely be a party to that. That too when it comes to attending CT aka BT.

With all the crazy classroom antics, sticky lectures, useless assignments week past was more than okay. That’s something what I call Living Civil.

Untimely demise of Mr. Lab Assistant, Chemical Deptt. has been greatly disturbing. Offering my condolences here.

Is LN's hair real?

I have serious doubts...
sometimes I'm so busy studying the hair that I can't concentrate on what he'saying...

Maybe this 'first-bench' thing is getting to me... Maybe I can't handle the full-zoom 8 mega-pixel clarity... Maybe I'll get over it and become a full-fledged 'front-bencher' like the rest of them and stop noticing the gory details...

Or... I could be right...

Buffy... do we have some voting mechanism on the blog?.. maybe we should have a poll...

speaking of the blog... I think we should get rid of some of those resource-heavy things on the sidebar like the youtube videos and stuff... The page takes too long to load even with only 3 posts showing...

Another thing..

I noticed that CEA pic you have on the photolog.... pretty impressive... that's potential t-shirt material.... worth thinking about...

ok... time to go back to culmann's ecosystem....

peace

Freshers!!!!! all hands at wrk.....

Controversies apart, i feel its time to get down to work too.
uploaded a template for the invite. Need everyone's ideas though.
By the way the poster idea has to be ditched as sticking posters in class is not allowed... concession is made ONLY 4 Engi.

i feel there is a need for an ultra good quote or line to fill the template and make it a good invite card. (I hope shipu hits on one....)
just msg me or vinay your ideas as i can't be OL all time. :(

Rainy Independence Day

Hope all had a good day out on independence day.
At least the rain gods are happy and there seems to be good rainfall. Hope all the dams get filled and we have no power cuts.( देख ले mr.cementpaste)

Briefly abt the morning ceremony:
The NITK army graciously gave a drenched guard of honour to the director who for once came as soon as his PA called him up.
All the business was done under an umbrella and the (un)fortunate umbrella is now reported missing.
Director announced setting up a commercial complex on the campus amongst other things under a 200 crore project cover.
Some higher quality मिठाई was in supply for the drenched crowd, much to the happiness of the fasting hungry NCC troop.
The NSS , Roto, NCC (and one ISTE बंधी) participated in tree plantation on beach road. (total बंधियां=2)
Plants were planted into water logged pre dug holes. (our director still had the grace to water the plants.)

People seemed more interested in clicking photos of them with plants or the director rather than plant the झाडी।
A certain NCC cadet seemed more interested in his girlfriend who had appeared than manage his troop. ;)
The refreshments served on beach may requisite a beach road clean up.

Students' Union was installed. The नेता s were made to sit through a "How to be a HAM" presentation. (guess the forthcoming election campaign will be on Radio)

on whole it was an xtended weeken for the NITK जंता with most bangies and localites heading home sweet home.

I end this write up praying for the innocent souls that demised in the gurpur river accident.

नमस्कार
और फ़िर से स्वतंत्रता दिवस के शुभकामनाये

Defection Update

Ok... here's some updates on the defection.....
Two members of the left front suddenly decided to switch sides for the better opportunities available...(grass is always greener on the other side).
They were successful in attracting two more.
Rumours are rife about horse trading (the nagpur rep of course)
Also tomorrow should reveal the fate of the member who decided to abstain today.

Of course since the chatterbox of the left has let loose that the fact that their house is still in disorder with respect to policy decisions, it remains to see whether the situation will remain so after the I-day.

Dirty Politics on I-day eve... (deja vu.....)

14-Aug

Today's unexpected events have set a dangerous precedent. Without any warning whatsoever, the "Left" parties decided to withdraw support to the United "Front" and defected en masse to the opposition "Right" wing. The intelligentia of the house are still in a state of shock after witnessing the never-before-seen spectacle.

The sudden change of loyalties is thought to be due to the "pipeline dispute" between GB and FB. Apparently, the Left parties were outraged by the decision to pursue the pipeline deal with FB in total disregard to the needs of GB.

The overnight revolt has come as a deadly blow to the united "front" which has been in decline for some time now. The "Right", on the other hand, welcomed the move enthusiastically. Most of the Right-wing could hardly conceal their joy. Nevertheless, there are reports that a few members of the hard-line Right group are uncomfortable in accommodating the Left members and expressed fears that this might lead to a dilution of their party ideology.

Meanwhile, amongst all the hullaballoo, admirable was the principled stand of the lone member from Nagpur constituency who refused to betray the ruling coalition due to historical and moral reasons. Rumours are rife about the expulsion of the nagpur member for having "seriously compromised" the party position. The "Left" has shown that it can be very unpredictable and ruthless in it's reactions. The coming days will be crucial in deciding the fate of the member.

Whatever may be the truth behind today's shocking events, one thing is certain: the harmony that has been prevailing in the house since the unanimous re-election of Mishra has been damaged beyond repair.

CHICKEN MATTER

Someone questioned the civil department 'WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?'

MHP sir: See, if at all the concrete on road is set, then only chicken can cross the road. Actually what I meant to say is that concrete is set. See, when I was doing my BE, everyday morning 5 o clock I used to see many chicken crossing road.. one chicken crossing road is not at all a big thing.... Y u r not able to followa?

HTE sir: In India chicken will cross road also, national highway also.. We are in 21st century and no road rules and regulations for animals here... Our systems are totally useless!!

REDDY sir: Chicken can cross road also, konkan railway also... it can act in film like mungaru male also.... no problem... 'kuch bhi chalta hai' !!

LOKESH sir: Yes, it is a very serious matter that the chicken crossed the road. Various investigations and discussions are going on about this topic.

MTP maam: Roads are geocentric organizations.. so chicken has complete power and authority to cross.. Finally all the chickens reach Mc Donalds only... And I think Abhiram has a better answer for this question !!

DISCLAIMER: NOT MEANT TO MOCK ANYONE.. HOPE ITS TAKEN IN THE RIGHT SPIRIT !:)

Burden of civilians!!!!!!!!!!!

Grievance of a 5th sem civil student is being presented here.Do u know wat it takes from u to go 4 a 2'o clock class with drooping eyes n shoulders.K , if dat wasnt enough wat if d sun is right above u showing his whole majesty.Or wat if d raingod start playin his usual prank by pourin down at d right time n makin ur way even tougher wit lots of hurdles(for further clarification watch out d live funny shows in front of 4block hostel gate) .Well, 4 most of d 5th sem students these wud b a real hell to b dealt with.But not 4 5sBT civilians.And thats the only reason y they were provided wit a course named 'BDD'.A determined civilian carrying a huge 60*80 board along with drafter, sheetholders, bags, umbrellas resembles a jawan all set to die 4 d nation.Wat more can one ask from a civilian.No matter wheather u r a day schy comin all along frm udupi / mangalore or a block dweller,u r obliged to carry these stuffs.To add salt 2 d injury u got 2 face d mockery from psychos ,diggers,softies,mechies etc.But that wont deter d civilians frm goin ahead.Remember "WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH,THE TOUGH GETS GOING".We do believe v r tough n courageous enough to meet any challenge that comes along.And thats d only reason y civilians must b called the most daring ones of NITK.Civil has made us daring enough to encounter all d obstacles.Am i right that way??????????????????

Yoo Hoo Civil Buffs !!!

A week of blogging, at and by cIVIL bUFFS !!! Now that’s news…

A week of new experiences!

A week of unprecedented rain and power cuts!

A week of thunderbolts, thunderclaps, thunderstorms and a thunderstruck group of 57 civilbuffs giving away thunderous applause!

A week of every worthwhile thing…in fact!

I remember, just the last Tuesday. It must have been a day like no other. What else could explain the sudden spurt in activity on my part and start what nobody at least in my world of friends and acquaintances had never done! Neither did I know the ABCs of blogging nor did I know what the blog would be about!

But there was one small thing that I felt for sure, that feeling of something great about to happen, the intuitive heady feeling of otherworldliness. If such thoughts and ideas crop up in the mind then why wait?

Start, I was for sure. But who would care to take time out and immerse himself in what I think, in what I feel, in what I say, yes who would! The immediate people that I am close to, with whom I am spending a very important part of time in a very crucial junction of my life came to my mind. Who else than the batch of 57 5sBTs of Civil Engineering, NITK! Voila! The Eureka moment in my life had arrived. Why not hook these otherwise busybodies in my venture. Sure. I decided to make them my co-bloggers, I will make them my partners, giving them a share of the pie and surely that’s what I did.

The blogging juggernaut will roll on, the theme of the blog would be what unites us in the class, yes Civil Engineering. The contribution would be by any number of my branchmates. The life that they live, the classes that they attend, the opinions that make them what they are, the brassed off talks of their gurus…surely these would be the hot topics. With all these ideas cropping up in my mind, my brain was surely working faster than Chacha Chaudhary, the affable old man from the world of Pran’s comics in the 90’s, whose brain sometimes worked faster than a computer. Not to forget the era that we are talking about, when the world was ruled by Celeron computer processors. Anyways with our generation awaiting the QuadCore processor anytime soon, and my mind working at the proverbial faster than the computer speed, I must have been a crazy sight to watch.

With my first nightout of the semester, I bore the fruits of my labour, finally, my first post being “i LivE CiviL”. The world had not yet felt the effect, but once it did it was earth-shattering, or simply wowed. Now before the junta felt restless I had invited almost all my branchmates, to co-author the blog, to be a cIVIL bUFF. And they responded, in a manner like never before. If I say I was moved to tears, I wouldn’t be saying something far from the truth. Actually I was laughing out my lungs, my heart beating at the fastest rate of my life, and my brain working faster than a computer!

The start was never a single handed effort, the prelude to, the inspiration for it was the infectious enthusiasm shown by Abhisek, Nahata, Omkar, Pavan and Rakesh. With the blog running at a healthy rate, members joining in and churning out brilliant, witty and erudite posts I couldn’t ask for more. What I keep hoping though is for more and even more, a desire that I’m able to fulfill by throwing the Stop Spectating-Start Posting stares on my fellow civil buffs!!!!!

At the moment cIVIL bUFFS has been critically acclaimed by friends and acquaintances. When asked to read, they simply can’t stop gushing out their niceties and wows. Even more is to follow, even more acclaim, even more recognition and even more standing ovations.

5sBT's - What lies ahead !!

KONICHIVA!!
Heya .. Sorry guys that’s the only share of Japanese I seem to be familiar with... n my hopes of learning it too this sem al seem to have gone down the drains as the college authorities considered only mech n trical guys eligible enuf 4 it by keeping the classes on thurs noon .. the time v guys ll be quite busy sleepin our hearts out in the class of our very own Japanese ambassador !! guess u guys know who .. ??
But guess his good ol frien Mr. Asano gave our ears some good workout by forcing us to hear frequencies much lower than wat we had to deal wit last sem in SD !! :)
Newys b4 I get quite a lot monotonous let me get out of my Japanese hangover .. !!

Lot of busy days r comin ahead 4 us I guess wit al the so called “MTP ASSIGNMENTs” which do nothing but enhance our skills of writin durin other classes n writin fast too ! They also nourish our beloved CR Mishra’s “communicating n convincing skills” to postpone the date of submissions almost everytime .. ;)
Not to 4get the few tests lined up .. like the most anticipated n the one im sure al of us r awatitin to get a taste of, an “Open Book” test, n then some stupid MTP test n the most dangerous of them all !! The freshly arrived “ANNOUNCED SURPRISE TEST” in the most interstin sub of the sem !! hehe :P
Guess ive tested ur patience enuf by makin u read all the crap above ! my first ever blog !!
So buckle up guys 4 a gr8 week ahead .. Hope the “WHO LL STUDY 4 THE STUPID TEST MAN !!” thoughts with constant hints of the relative gradin system prevail in our minds .. hehe J

BOLLYWOOD SUCKS!!!!!
5SBTCLASS: In an exclusive talk wit 5sBts, Pinky ma'm has given a controversial statement that can really turn d things upside down in d coming days at d Indian Stock Xchange .According to her Bollywood, which is d greatest testimonial of Indian culture, really sucks!!!! The coming days ll show wat impact dis statement can hav on indian economy as well as foriegn xchange.The exclusive interview turned out 2 b a truely enlightning one wit ppl comin to know y India din develop so much since independence.The reason is Bollywood.However she said dat d present scenario can b dealt with if ppl embrace Hollywood n import Australian movie prints.Experts frm 5sBT hav refused to comment upon dis other than producing a ooooooooooohhhhh sound.V do hope dat comin days ll enlighten us wit more Pinky thesis oriented at d devt of our nation.

well well.. a blog of our own!... how exciting!...

Hmm.. first post... how do I go about it?..

Come to think of it... this isn't really a good time to be sitting online blogging... what with pinky's" assignment and "MHP's" killer test awaiting us... add to that the fact that I have no clue about either...

So.. why am I here you ask? well for one, there's our great "CivilBuff" giving me angry stares everytime he sees me cuz apparently he hates silent spectators... and secondly, blogging is way cooler than all the 'Bogue compounds' put together... :p

so...here goes..

First off.. Buff, my boy... you are a genius... (you too Mr. Dash)... This blog is probably the best thing that's happened to our class... no wait... the second best thing.. the first best thing obviously being the sliding of ashwini, purohit, birla and others... (oh, if only aslam had decided to leave with them... the world would have been such a nice place)... sigh...

Seriously.. Soumya... I bow to thee... keep those hilarious posts coming... just make sure no one leaks our URL to MHP or pinky... :)

Ok...

On to more serious things... since we're still in election hangover... I was just wondering... is our system really the best college/university election system? I mean,.. is there any point in first, second and third year CR's electing final year representatives?? How are union elections held in other colleges?

In NIT Trichy, from what i've heard, the system is pretty different.. there, anyone can contest any post and all her/his batchmates can vote.

Say, union presi.. which is a final year post,... any final year student can contest the election... and similarly, all the students of the FINAL YEAR batch can vote... not just one person from every class... and not first years and second years who hardly know any final years...

CR's (or 'Class Reps' as they're known there) are there just to co-ordinate between teachers and students... thats it...

Sounds better than our system to me... what do you ppl think? Share your views... who
knows?.. maybe by the time we leave this place we'll have a better system in place :)...


peace..
