Its been a while since I wrote anything here. A multitude of factors ensured that blogging for me went from regular to sporadic to non-existent. So why am I back ? Let me sum it up
-College rules being changed at the whim and fancy of the administration - boy they pissed me!
-Me finally being free from the clutches of GRE - now I can write!
I like to make a smaller picture of things around me, without most of the details. It helps keep things simple (not a fan of the acronym KISS though). So what exactly happened here that is worthy of mention ? The administration got bored and suffered from what is classically known as "the staying in Hyderabad for too long syndrome" (no offence to anyone who loves the city, I am just speculating on reasons for erratic behavior). It is a well researched syndrome with many concrete examples of effects of the city on innocent people (in this case, wait before thinking that the administration is innocent, more to come). It just amounts to sucking all the fun and all positive things in your life (pretty much like a huge dementor doing it to you, and you not having a patronous). Yeah, I need to explain things well these days (like subscribing on mailing lists, or how to use portals) and Harry Potter references are something that most people get.
I digressed .... , so, coming back, the administration got together during one of their club meetings (guess what they are called ... starts with a "j") and brain stormed on how to bring back the element of fun. As it turns out, torturing students by making them guess about what the rules of the college are, is a brilliant way of sadistic fun. Not any rules mind you, these are rules pertaining to graduation of the final year students, or relating to "courses" which many students have partially done (don't ask me what the "courses" are, there is only this much bad publicity that a college can handle. It involves making students run around and perform various poses for 85% of the semester).
So the club "j" meeting's outcome was an idea so devious that it would have won them "the Hitler award for not killing people but making them want to kill themselves or someone else". Executed with finesse, the plan was complete and the faces of confused, angered, cheated students was compensation enough for being condemned to stay in Hyderabad (again, I repeat, no offense to those who love the city). Just add a "muhahaha" background score, and you have your perfect tyrant-rules-over-the-meek setting.
So all was well once again with the college administration. If any one dare protested, they were called for "life-problems-resolution" sessions, a clever way of renaming the "friday night dinners" from Bheja Fry. So all in all, I am impressed. We are coming up with creative ways to resolve our boredom and focus on research. Research is the ultimate goal of course, sadistic fun is just something to spice it up (or so they have you believe eh ?).
On a sidenote, is it just me or can anyone else see a similarity between Anna's campaign, his arrest and the government's "oh-so-awesome" answers and the not-so-long-ago mail exchanges between famous celebrities regarding one of the "courses" ? (hint hint, its the same "course" - "the-course-which-cannot-be-named" for my HP infected readers).
Oh, and from my recent experience, for the record, I was being sarcastic, just so that it is clear (don't want non-sensically put, without-intimidation-abuses+garbled-words hurled around)
Comments welcome.
PS: Those unaware of the randomness - for the college rules, you can't determine the content of the rule and its applicability, both, at the same time. Hence the Heisenberg reference.

A view of the semester that was ... 2nd sem
datte :
It has been a long time since we posted anything here ....
Well I was reminded of this as my hols came to an end and the highway to hell came within view.
Since we will be staining a fresh page with ink when we get back, I thought that I should sum up the semester that was. Some of the major events in this semester have been scrapped as I am not privileged to share personal information of some people ;)
Lets get started with the semester then
Pre-mid-sem 1:
It started with people banging my head to celebrate (yeah those meanies!). So I had to get a tetanus injection. Lord knows how it went and I want no comments on that ok? Clear hai Yeti??. (datte_in_hospital = 1).
This was the time when we were getting used to Camel's "pograms". He truly tried to fk us with his work load. God knows why, but he was trying to set our ass on fire, with his "assignments given in class", tutorials and OSP stuff. So basically he was trying to make life hell for the CS people. Since baa had not yet discovered his true powers of postponing assignments yet, life was miserable. Skin on the other hand was so jobless that he was eternally begging us to go out and watch some movie etc. This earned him the title of "vella".
Then came along the mini projects. Krust and monkey in one team. Hah to that! It was more like Krust in the team and monkey was the entertainment head. He made up for all the movies Krust could not watch, all the series he had to miss. Hats off!
Almost forgot, we met our junior batch around this time. Well there was Krust's Bengali dude who turned out to be a jerk, Rabbi's friend who turned out to be such a !@!#$%!$@#$!@ that he has become a prime target for the mess portal's failures. Thats what beta testing is for ...!
Our concept of tutorials had become
1. tests cz of OS and DB. We met the ever panting tutors here. I was so scared to ask doubts. Supposing the tutor forgot to breathe while answering?? Well that is PR for you :).
2. scientific stupidity at its worst cz of Science
3. "I have no idea what?!" cz of Algo
4. "Aren't we glad!!!!" cz we did not have them for Humanities
This was also the time when I actually asked doubts in NavJ's class. I spent my time between smsing, sleeping, asking doubts and basically everything. But I am glad later on I concentrated, believe me I did, on one thing only - sleeping.
Oh and I cannot miss the "fun" lectures Hari gave us. I am glad he did not start by defining fun and how we have fun etc. He should have given them off!
The canteen got ice-cream and Rabbi since then was high throughout the semester.
Freshers was organized. But it wasn't as much fun as the meeting later on to discuss improvements. I was so reminded of the Indian Parliament sessions where similar "improvements" are discussed by "calm" people in a "sophisticated" manner. Well even I lost my cool here and people had to make me sober.
Coming to the sad part. Yeti broke his tooth and well he was in pain (yeti_in_hospital = 1). But the sadder part is, that he got to eat Cerelac which was made so well that he told me he would not regret breaking another tooth to get to eat it again. Well that proves my culinary skills. Yeti got his tooth fixed. (yeti_in_hospital ++ ).
Apotheosys ,as stated on their website, was started by the couple we all know about (Rabbi no point in hiding your BV now....) and they roped in a few people. It was great fun and marks this time for me. Great job Rabbi! See thats the couple power :)
Mid-sem-1
No idea what happened.
Pre-mid-sem-2
We went to Nagarjun Sagar and the trip was awesome. I think I enjoyed the journey more but it was fun. Yeti finally showed his true mastery over liking and being able to eat anything. (the dude loves Threptin! for those who don't know it's a pathetic thing no human in his right mind and body should eat).
Baa had realised his true powers now. So to show to the world what a CR can do, he along with his trusted fan club (:P) organized a spectacular Carnival. Now our seniors may not want to acknowledge it because of their personal reasons, but believe me it was almost as good as (if not better, well this has to be seen) Felicity '10 (ta da da ... music is life or something is the theme).
Yeti took over the finance and managed to swing in a few bucks for his "drinks" fund. Well I'd rather not say much here, cz Baa might just make me getting my degree tougher through his "direct**" contacts. But jokes aside, I appreciate the effort put in by these guys. Take a bow people :)
Had the finance council not been so stingy, I am sure the event would have been waayyy better and so would the quality of drinks Yeti bought. Ok, I think I am more sure about the latter part.
Practice for the October Flakes was in full swing. We were just missing a few beats (Rabbi geddit??). I was shit scared before it. Partly cz I would have an "awesome" audience who would know just this word (and I was right!!) and partly cz I had not been able to have Appy,orange juice or even ice-cream for that week. Torture and stress really make you crazy. This event went off decently apart from the "Gods of Rock" not liking it, I think everyone had a nice time cracking jokes and doing their stuff and ... yeah, listening to the music.
Ever since the flakes Monkey's playlist has consisted of all the songs played there plus (ARGGHHHHH) Love Story by Taylor Swift. Why dude? WHY??? And I am sure, he will soon get Krust's hands on his neck if he continues that.
Monkey got his eye cut and it bled. I am exaggerating. It was a minor paper cut given by (as Monkey says) me, (as I KNOW FOR A FACT) "ahem-ahem" (wink!). So Yeti took him to the hospital and got his eyes back. (yeti_in_hospital ++ ; monkey_in_hospital = 1).
Me and Yeti got the SSAD project and were literally "mess"ed up. Krust and Monkey (well need I say anything?? It was wonderful team work :) )
"Ping" was made by resurrecting Echoes for the 5th time (?) , dunno I lost count. But it was a fun experience. Well as Yeti said, the name may not be great but its better than "It!". Agony Aunt was amazing. I think in future even I will contribute to the column. It must be so stress relieving to actually kick people's ass publicly and officially!
It was this time which made SSAD as "So SAD". Humanities was decent. I slept so it was wonderful actually. OS and DB were back to normal. Camel was "pobably" too caught up with watching movies recommended by IMDB to screw us. Science was a torture. It was. Thermodynamics was irritating and highly stupid. Maths... I barely attended but the most amazing thing was the "Laurent" series.
Yeti had to get a root canal. While Monkey tells me that he could have had the job done in less visits, Yeti caught a fancy for the doctor's assistant.
(yeti_in_hospital += 5)
Oh yeah, before I forget. Skin was as jobless as ever. He caught up with me and Rabbi in naruto.
Mid-sem-2
No idea what happened in the exams, they were a haze and .... One significant thing did happen here, details maybe later.
Pre-end-sem
Now the woman who talks crap, took crap to a different level and made SSAD "So fkin SAD". OMG! I would prefer a Humanities course to this one. The deliverables were endless and designed to disgrace the brain by repetitively asking the same , the same, the same thing!!!
The project was eating most of our time and was making us demented. Sleep, eat (not applicable to Yeti), attend classes(not applicable to Yeti and Rabbi),attend Maths class(applicable only to Monkey), code (not applicable to Monkey) was our routine.
Yeti broke his tooth and now he needed to get it fixed. Thats what comes out of too much ice-cream.
Krust in one of his basketball injuries twisted his ankle. So Yeti took him to the hospital and got him a new leg. (krust_in_hospital = 1;yeti_in_hospital ++)
Well what followed was a series of visits to Yuckies to fetch Krust's food. He had a royal time. Though there was a side effect. He had become a bit weird cz of staying in the room all day.
End-sem
Seriously No idea. Dont want to recall.
Post-end-sem
Well then came the project demos. And came CMU. And me and Rabbi had the great CMU escape. Skin and I had the full circle trip which was the thing which marked the end of the semester for me. Full circle really.
And now its back to home. The place where I left my heart and I am only too glad to have come back to see it.
Well reflecting back on the semester, it taught me many things
1. Never take a course for which the TA is RS. He can't do anything.
2. Get over sad marks. Life has more to it. And who said marks reflect your effort or knowledge? With people like RS, they reflect "god-also-does-not-know-what".
3. Never walk behind Krust. It may result in toe-nail injury.
4. NEVER EVER EVER EVER take Software Engineering under KG.
5. Dont upset Baa.
6. Treating your juniors isn't always a pleasant experience.
7. Dont eat ice-cream with a mended tooth.
8. Never bring bottles of liquor into the hostel by snicking them in your pants. How to bring them? Ask Yeti.
9. Boo! to all the hookah places. We have an awesome dude here who made hookah out of a used milk bottle. Engineers rule!
10. Keep Rs 5/- coins for soup. This is hell important.
Well signing off for now. Need to get out of the house and roam around the city. "Capture a bit of heaven in my mind to get me through the tough times ahead".
It has been a long time since we posted anything here ....

Humanities Feedback!
Hey,
First blog here and lets open with a rant!
Rabbi here, this blog has started getting no attention :( .. sorry about that but its just what this place does man, work gets in the way but today we all had a chance to strike back! Humanities course feedback! The whole batch just gave back to the prof all the stuff he's been throwing at us..
Here's my feedback:
When we think about the word 'Humanities', we generally think of something like social, cultural, psychological studies etc. Instead, in this course, we are treated to absolute random nonsense uttered out by a professor who browses an online dictionary for 'difficult words' and strings them together without care for a certain concept called grammar or even comprehension! Often, he believes, that rules are just place holders and can be bent sometimes i.e. His own creations enter his slides (read as brand new words which he hopes will soon be incorporated into the Oxford Dictionary; but till then, even google is stumped when asked to find their meanings!)
After he puts together his 'material', he will put together arbitrary concepts which all together sum up to a huge lullaby (95& of the present class WILL sleep without fail).IMHO, a professor's worth can be judged by how few students sleep in his/her class. Case in point, RnB.
Now that you know the general consensus of the entire batch regarding this course and prof, lets push towards some details:
-Topics covered are only philosophical or thought of a particular person. If we wanted to go through that, we would have taken a course on 'History of Thought'.
-We are going to be judged (through assignments) on the quality of our photoshop/gimp skills as they are a test of our poster making abilities?!?
-Why are absolutely unnecessary extra classes taken? i mean who takes an extra class due to missing a previous class as EXAMS were in course?!
-Do take a look at his slides (outlay, colour scheme, etc) and then send their creator to a design and usability course asafp!
Thats all folks!
See you soon again!

Jab Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya
datte :
Today was hilarious!!!
Well after a VERY long time all of us were having a gala time at yuckies (thats the name for for our mess btw, and no, we've made minor changes to the name, the mess people are humble enough to admit that the food does indeed live upto the name - "yuckies"). There was the balushai......(I was half expecting the yogi to turn up and say that its spoilt so that people would leave it and this dude could sell it off! Nice try man, but we are used to all the yuck ,spoilt food included)
I being the kind-hearted person I am, gave away my balushai to krust (who LOVES sweets) and Yeti (who loves jalebi but I dont know.....this dude can eat ANYTHING on earth and smile after it, a genuine smile mind you).
So as time went along I was pulling monkey's leg on his eye injury ( poor dude finds it tough to swing from branch to branch. Infact today I found him staring sadly at a tree, probably he was remembering the so sweet and the not so distant past). As time went by, Yeti joined in. Now monkey was already frustrated and he did not want the "big shot" of leg pulling, Yeti to join in. So he in a threatening way said, "Yeti chup ho jaa varna......" (followed by a glare and some noises which I reckon are a monkeys way of responding to threats in the wild). Yeti's response was unbelievable. He said "Pyaar kiya toh darna kya?".
I was sitting between the both of these and I couldn't believe my ears. By the time Yeti could grasp the entire meaning and implications of his response I was choking with laughter!!
This was followed by all our attention being diverted from Monkey to Yeti.....with all of us singing "pyaar kiya toh darna kya....". Yeti couldn't stop laughing and neither could we. By the end of it he had joined us in singing the song (Seems he liked the song and its "deep" meaning a lot, and is singing it even now......pity my ears)
Well the fact remains that today will go down as a "black spot" in Yeti's career as a leg puller. Sometimes even geniuses make blunders, proving that they are human.
Life here.......there is this new twist in my life called SAD (those are the actual phonetics) which is in all practicality looking at common sense through a microscope
then there is DB in which definitions of all possible things in this world are thrown.....
and maths where the prof utters.....well its censored....cant say such things(certain level of blogging ethics).
Humanities continues to be a sleeping class for majority of the class and now we are evolving to bluetooth chatting in the class, its awesome!!
Lets see how the coming weeks turn out to be!

a "dam"nable weekend
datte :
Well seems like the rest of the bakarians are too disinterested ( skin is spared for this time ).... So it has to be me writing about this weekend.
The first session of hellish exams ended with Algo being all-go (and basically a slow roast over fire, so that we pay for our sins of past lives). And.... Well the point being they were bad and ended!
The result of some ingenious minds was that to cool our heads off we needed a weekend away from this place. bakarians decided to go along ( except skin....sorry man, you missed a lot!) We reached the place in like 4 hours and the ride was fun
The place was a non-Hindi place and we were left saying "naku telugu radu" . In the end it was all down to sign language. It was an ordeal to place an order for the dinner.... and another (bigger) ordeal to eat it. Ofcourse Yeti enjoyed all the chillies in his food and lapped his plate clean. But the rest of the "normal" human beings were left asking for water.
The dam was built well. We could see fish and ducks in the river and it was scenic.
Highlight of the trip were the waterfalls we went to. After bathing there , it felt like heaven ( the place had a soaring mercury and humidity --- a killing combo).
As Krust put it " All's well that ends well ".
Too tired to think of anything more to write.... need to sleep now after the "Golden" sleep I had yesterday night.

a week that went swoosh....
datte :
there is stuff here keeping all of us busy (except for skin....velle EC waale! but he prefers watching naruto, so I wont blame him) and the result being we weren't able to bakar here.
well what a week!....rather what a week?? we had SAD projects going on, quizzes etc
And there was the Sky and Wind party(separately ofcourse)......man it was gud....i didn't stuff as much as I would've on any other day. You need to maintain some level of "decency" being a senior.... Ofcourse the start was frustrating when we were made to wait fr abt 40 mins...guess some things have to happen! Followed by a bus ride and a series of hilarious proposals in the restaurant, ( I was glad to see the sporty juniors! Hats off to their spirit! Its refreshing to see a change of attitude in this place ) and a singing ride back .
Today was Grey Beard's(GB we know him for his scrap of metal....his watch and its timing) class and it turned out to be amusing. GB has his weird examples for science which make "nilch" sense, but he uses them anyway. The boredom energy he emits from his mouth transforms into sleep enrgy when we receive it. Two incidents were the highlight of the class. Yeti, being the vella person he is, was staring blankly and GB came upto him asking him to solve sm crap he had given the class. Here is the conversation
GB : (boredom energy waves) Why are you not solving the bull crap I just wrote?
Yeti :(Get a life man! What would be a good reason to tell this dude?? Aha! I have it! Take this for making me sleepy and not letting me sleep!) My pen has no refill so I cant solve the crap.
GB : (Hmm.... this one is a smart a**!) Take mine.
Yeti : (OMG! This dude needs to chill man! Anyway, I get a pen to sketch) Thanks Sir.
And I was sitting beside Yeti, it was hilarious! Yeti sketched GB (actually I inspired the better for worse sketch, but I dont think Yeti will admit it)
Then come the second one....
GB (to a freshman who was sleeping ) : (emitting intense boredom waves in an effort to make the girl doze off and thus get an oppurtunity to shout at her ( datte : that's his attitude folks!) ) What was I just saying?
Girl : crap crap and more crap
GB : Thats right!!! She listens to me even in her dreams (Tears of joy are seen on his face. Someone actually listens to him!!!!)
LOL! Great effort in this lecture.... I could listen to these things and be happy!
Then there was a mail at 3, that we have a tutorial at 4. At 4 we were told we have a quiz till 5.
Life goes on here......
bakha dattebayo!
