Its freshers’ time once again.
We Civil Engineers are the first to have our Branch Freshers.
Keeping in mind that time is running out of our hands, we need to act fast and prompt. Next week Thursday, we’ll having Freshers…is it ok?
Your suggestions, comments, ideas are most welcome…in fact what we need is your active involvement both prior to and during the freshers.
In view of the almost routine branch freshers that we have had earlier, it’s time to change.
We need to bring in an air of freshness, a dose of awesomeness and even more.
Plz… put forth your ideas regarding FOOD, GAMEs, TIMING, DECORATION…and the most important thing…what u want2pay…errr….what should b d budget !!!!

But remember, there’s not much time left for action…so be prompt in replies and actions...

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
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.

A typical day and its untypical goings-on.
How often can you boast of a foreign influence in an institute like ours- where the only flavour you ever taste is just Indian! Well Dr. Asano made our day. A highly qualified scholar from the Dept. of Ocean Civil Engg.,
For every smile there is a tear. How true!
Prashant sir was just one among the 3 spoilsports of today- his able aides being Indrani ma'am and Virupaksha sir. To say the least they tormented us like hell- notwithstanding their well wishes! Their characteristic quotes delivered in the unimitable style of their own, their goof-ups, their lectures- all just make sure we don't have a perfect ear-to-ear smile.
Prashant sir's handling of CT is highly laced with "If at all..."s, "What they have done is..." and "Actually..."s. If at all you haven't taken note of these, then what you have to do is be a little more attentive in class. Never mind his closed eyes-head shaking-mumblings.
Indrani ma'am has this absolute ability to petrify us with "If you don't stop shouting, I'll give you an assignment" statements- that surely works. It seems McDonald's has appointed this MTP cutiepie as its brand ambassador in this part of
That's the lifestyCle change we are experiencing. She says "I didn't ask you to clap" and the class erupts in even more claps. Fianlly "You can leave the class". OK ma'am but spare us all this bakwaas.
Virupaksha sir is going to make our 2credit ES into one hell lot of PPTs, the contents aptly dispalyed for the shortest time possible, his explanations being just a cryptic crossword game for us. We just hope, we are spared from his "You needn't jot down everything from the PPT" and at the same time "Everything that's there in the PPT will come in examination".
O! This world couldn't get worse for us. Just everyday we are awakened to this rude shock...we are the future Civil Engineers, and a verrry verrry Endangered Species- thanks to all those core companies who are in the habit of not recruiting any of the eligible Civil populace from our institution!
If not us then who the goddamn will civilise the world!
