recap of freshers

August 20, 2006

It started off like any other day. A properly won football match, an LP class where manish’s name was chanted in chorus; the only thing remaining was a fun freshers night. So, I reached there at around 7:00 to see the performances. Agni’s performance was going on and people told me that it sucked ( I ‘m an agnian :( ). This was followed by prithvi, aakash and vayu’s performances. Aakash had actually performed very well ( for a change ). Of course, the fun part of the programme was performed by the classic IIIT audience. With people booing and shouting so loud so as to make the contestants inaudible, it seemed like a re-enactment of the mr & mrs felicity contest. Special instruments were also imported to make the night more loud and lively.

While all forms of slogans were used ( usuals like “ek do theen char…”…,etc) , the only thing missing was the “ram ram satya hai…” routine (heard this from shamanth; turns out this is commonly done by iit’ians during shastra).

The first session ended with an active participation by the audience in charles darwin’s Survival of the fittest” at our very own mess. With people jostling their way through the long line, it was only a matter of time before “the prodigal iitian” gave his haughty stare . Sid of course lost his cool . After the gruelling session in the mess, the mr and mrs. fresher resumed at 9:30 followed by some kinda dj night (is it ?) .

ps0: I still can’t distinguish the first yrs from the rest of the people I don’t know.
ps1: I am bored
ps2: ug3 is having a carnival day today. While sundays are typically used to laze around, here’s to hoping their event is a successful one.
ps3: Aakash were declared winners up & until they decided to express their happiness on stage :P
ps4: this is end

August 18, 2006

I’ve got this brilliant idea to put the date as the title for the post everytime I run out of ideas. Any way, nothing interesting happening anywhere. Independence day celebrations were held on 15th (duh) and sadly I couldn’t make it (no one woke me up) . I attended the evening function and it was actually decent . Atleast the cultural council is making a decent effort in making life here a lil more lively.

A new game is out http://appi101.wordpress.com/2006/08/17/of-bad-programming-and-stuff-to-do/. It’s supposed to be similar to Diablo (yuck) . Dota is good and seems to be the general interest of the majority . Recent games in dota are boring though. Peesu’s loosing streak is like an aura.

BTP viva got postponed . So, I’ve got to go through yet another day of anxiety.

ps1: football in the evening is o.k these days

ps2: btp demo did not go so well . The player actually stopped just as I was about to play srirams’s version of anbe sivam.

ps3: I’m bored.

ps4: orkutting is a nice way for some time-pass.

ps5: This is the end

The one where I don’t know what the post is going to be about !

August 8, 2006

Long time since I posted, no inspiring thoughts for quite some time and I don’t want my blog to be YAD (yet another diary – if iv comes up with another acronym for this he can go hump a tree). Finished the cog science presentation, went ok i guess. The DE lab is conducting weekly reviews of projects :( . Heard from someone that CVIT did this. (^%&*). Any way, yours truly and the image DB guys are the chosen one’s for next week’s presentation. The first presentation in this regard was held yesterday. For some strange reasons , Niraj asks a doubt (god knows why he would attract attention). Any way, this post is merely cus  I feel its about time I got some reviews. Visit http://172.16.14.6/temp.html and any comments are welcome. (I don’t mind anonymous comments either) . Btw, you can also download the eistein hollow face illusion from the download link on the site.

ps1: did asimov catch on ?

ps2: hally seems pretty jobless considering the fact that he is blogging quite often these days

ps3: politics everywhere

ps4:  ym conspired against bushi and made him miss the I&S class, lucky fudge bushi
