Another day at Thapar...

Well ain't I laughing all the way today ! But wait till i get to that.First some of the raw hand news.

As I went to attend my class with first years today I saw hordes of students standing in corridors - Now this might not be unusual in case of any other college but Thaparians do tend to be "huddled" and bundled easily.Too timid you see.

But for a change today there was a little hustle and activity in this hoarding exercise and figured out that it was an attempt to stage a protest against the OBC reservations.And as well intended as it may be it lacked the sort of organisation to make it a success.So soon it turned out to be a fizzle and students dispersed here and there and without any press coverage the intent mostly went down unnoticed.

In any case at least someone was trying to do something at some level.

Some of the teachers reactions were a little curious though.I had this excuse of a lecturer who actually asked me if the students are motivated by someone external and when explained what the protests were for, he innocently asked, " But aren't the reservations for IIT's only ?"

And I must thank him earnestly for giving me a good laugh.

And not in the least when he returned my checked answer sheets.The thing was that since the last mid sem we weren't tutored much upon the subject the lecturer was supposed to teach while he dilly dallied on total nonsense topics.And not suprisingly the question paper was a complete bolt from the blue.

So as I came out of the hall even I had no idea what the hell was it all about and what I had written.But the best part was when i got the checked answer sheets today.With a score that boasts of being four times the second highest,with the answer sheet being another proof of the ridiculousness of the whole system I am only laughin my heart out !

Totally Nonsense !

Anyways being in such a good mood and being in company of such enlightened fellows do cheer me up a lot, so here's a little of the scooping.

Here's a detailed description of SAT MMVI - courtesy Chaitanya and then a few of the untill now elusive snapshots of the Lifestyle Show Rogue held on the first night of SAT.Enjoy !

IITs and IIMs will remain Institutions of the government by the government and for the government. One day MHRD may passa resolution stating that each MP is entitled for an IIT or IIM state as the MPs are serving the nation. On the contrary take the case of BITS Pilani. In the year 2000, BITS Pilani put up a campus at DUBAI. In the year 2004, BITS Pilani commissioned a campus at Goa. In the year 2007 BITS Pilani is spearheading a campus at Hyderabad. Name one IITor IIM which broke the governmental shell and did something like BITS Pilani could do. Every one knows the famous IIM and IIT wanting to set up a Sing apore Campus. Well the song was over long back. We are left only with the National Anthem.

Hi
Your postings really do keep the memories of the college fresh. As expected Mandal 2 came and not without a bang.A jump of 27% in 16 years, another 16 years down the line and prospectus of every emminent college would have a line:
"27% seats are reserved for the GENERAL category"
The news about self immolation of Daya Singh created quite a stir here. Though everyone knew it was a rumour, but still it provided a good laughing material.
I was a bit dissappointed on the SAT coverage, was expection a bit more....

@Dibjot

Oh wah - aj suraj kithon chadiya hai ?

@Camelpost

Agreed,though no educatational institution is free from government interference.So as a long term measure only implementation of democracy in its true spirit is the theoretical solution.
