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
