Kuruksastra..... few debates and a walk out

Kuruksastra is over. I can proudly say that this time i saw it. For last three years its something i only heard from other people, even though i attended its previous versions but its not more than an hour if you sum up the time.
All in all it was good to see whole college in such a pace with everyone satisfying their intellectual hunger through drama, debate, dance and many many other things. It creates those rare moments when the year recognition is lost and all comes on same floor to compete something which almost impossible to judge.
It was Shankar Mahadevan who eclipsed everything in the last evening. The impeccable voice, the aura and the charm which gripped the whole college for about 2 hours and i could still feel his grip on this college by seeing status messages on gtalk, orkut and facebook. I choose sitting in Ctv rather going in and dancing and i really enjoyed, one can imagine the atmosphere in stands.. As far as i can see it was simply Awesome!!!!
The thing i felt is he did not sung those for which he is recognized and admired. To make the mood instead of singing "jhoom barabar" he must have sung "Koi kahe" from DCH. No song from Lakshya and no from his album "Nine", atleast he should have sing "Noor E Khuda". I felt satisfied twice, one at "Maa" and other at "Breathless"... Overall its quiet a time and the feeling of real Shankar Mahadevan standing in front and singing is good, atleast for someone like me who never saw any showbiz personality ever... else than myself :)

Maximum time of these 3 days are passed in NMV auditorium watching Hindi Lits.. Pride of this college.. They win everywhere... If somewhere they did not won means they did not took part, its as simple as that...
The confidence in organizing committee was something, i m sure, every participant was scared of. Vishnupal led the team like Eric Cantona would have led the Manchester United years ago, attitude of the best player+captain could be seen in the confidence of each and every team mate...
If football commentrator Andy Gray would have been there... He must have said.... Take a Bow son !!!! Take a Bow !!!!!
The hard work of organizers was visible in the quizzes they prepared. Especially Antakshari, i think it was solely made by Amitabh and it was Something....
I was wondering how confident participants were and virtually giving lessons to someone like me who never ever even dared to climb up to that stage.
Boys and girls from all the years and from many colleges...

Apart from all this few things which took my attention...
First is the debate.. The confidence of participants was extremely good, i wonder how no one fainted or even a single one wavering. But.... there was a certain lack of preparation, i bet there was... Everyone was talking about something they guess should be rather than some solid points...
There was a certain lack of reasoning and every one was busy showing there ability of argument, useless argument..
Like in finals, topic was about Reality shows.. Many came and blabbered lines of Dinkar and Nirala... "Jo bhara nahi hai bhaawon se......" and all those stuff which has nothing to do with Reality shows. Leave alone reality show, i dont think Nirala or Bachchan ever said anything even on Show business. Instead you should have prepared why are reality shows so hit and why or why not they are affecting society as whole. Anyhow if you want to quote someone, tell us what Stephen Spielberg or Coppola or Prahlad Kakkar said on effect of stars on us.. Quote something relevant rather shouting bullshit....
I dont know exactly what India lost in creation of Pakistan but i can tell what India gained and thats the endless number of debates.. Its Pakistan everywhere, even the partition of states is somewhere related to Pakistan.... One was saying if we want to fight Naxalites we must take guns from all the policemen and send them barehanded... Upon asking to elaborate this he himself do not know what to say. One took partition of State as his topic and end up speaking for 5 minutes on corruption, no relevance at all. If some one someday show the videotape to that guy i dont know will he speak again in his life ???
At last i came to conclusion that there must be Pakistan's hand in my bad performance in class, because its the root cause of each and every problem in India...

One more thing, i walked out of the auditorium last day, many asked me the reason. I feel its my moral responsibility to explain the reason of that. It was around 2.30 afternoon and auditorium was more than full but anyhow one junior(mithilesh) arranged a seat for me. It was last event of the whole setup and was Drama. Many teams came to perform in front of that overcapacity crowd and no one really cared which year you are and every team was given the warm reception, only Shankar Mahadevan got better than that. Everyone was yelling and clapping on each and every action of teams. Then came a team which presented something out of the world, yes i mean it. Such a bad performance that no one could understand what are they doing. One could only make out the actors they were imitating, i bet my life that no one in that auditorium could sense the story or anything. Still we all clapped and for nearly 20 minutes. Only one word for the performance... Pathetic... Anyhow the play ended and crowd still not booed anyone but it was obvious everyone was laughing.. Few shouted "once more". Few like me were shaking there head and trying find a way to react. But before me, organizers reacted, they came in middle of audi and started shouting on audience that who wants "once more" and how many of you ever appeared on stage. They even grabbed few 2nd years and took them out of audi. Why to show your seniority when you claim a fare game ? None of the guy said a vulgar or abusive words, if they can clap cant they boo ?? Who will tell how to react ??? I agree that organizers have good stage persona, how can they claim no other can perform anything on stage ???? If a junior performer should be excused, why cant a junior spectator ???? You as a judge did not showed mercy by awarding them extra points, why should we as an audience excuse them by suppressing something so instinctive ???? How can someone ask for mercy after a bad performance ???? If someone is so scared of repercussion, why the hell are they coming to perform ???? And giving them mercy on the basis of their 1st year is insulting them a bit more than booing. I know few of that team personally but bad is bad.... I dont want to be part of something where you are allowed to give only one reaction... No one shouted on bad debate, because its not the manner of the event but in drama if you can scream in applause you can shout in denial too...
At last after coming out i met to a creature named Ankit Singh, who was also part of a play half an hour before.. We talked on this and first line he said is, "Go and do something on stage you will feel how difficult it is"... You are so sure that i m an asshole who never saw or stood on stage and you are the first one after Girish Karnad to do so... Now this is what i call bloody mediocrity.. You are so sure that your job is over just by appearing on stage and you need not to bother about your performance and every one else than you never dared to walk on that sacred stage... So how the hell can you criticize Salman Khan or Ashish Nehra because i m sure you neither made a movie nor you ever played International cricket.. So mister, you are not winner just because you tried, You need to win something in order to be a winner.....

The curse of a hurt man....

Hi, all… I do not appreciate personal blogs which are just related to the person writing but this time I cant help… I have to tell this… Please read it as far as you could….

Its midnight, I m somewhere between Thursday and Friday and undoubtedly one of the happiest guy. The reason is very very simple but quiet have a history of its own, SPS BULLS lost. Yes you heard me right, SPS BULLS lost and I m lot lot more happier than the guys who shot them down. Its an Oh I Say!!!! Moment for me, watching the game from far away, so far I do not have any idea of score and knew only when they lost but ah they lost… Nothing can get more gratifying then this….

Why do I need to be so happy, it had to happen. They were destined for the defeat and I knew it very early… earlier than this fixture was declared.. earlier than this tournament began, even earlier than last one…Once upon a time, when i was hurt, i was really hurt by many guys, i never showed any emotion, not even to myself in alone… But today i did… I laughed.. I screamed and if there exists a parallel universe, I want to console that boy who is alone, hurt, whose ego is bruised and who cannot do anything for it but to keep quiet… Time stood by me… You all see, time stood by my side and I m laughing with him over you assholes who always demanded without even thinking how much effort I ever put. Assholes who always wanted me to keep there words but never kept my smallest of feeling. Who were stars but never care how much my hands are burnt in this stardom. Don’t get me wrong, I never asked for credit but at least listen before discarding anyone hardwork just because it doesn’t fit to your moronism…

I don’t need credit, I had enough… But I can never forget the questions asked to me, especially by the boy whom I always took care about… He hurt me not the year ago but way before than that… when we were in 2nd year and he wounded me so much that I did what I never even thought of… it was shameful but I have no control over the fury I had within…. and we both knew it...

I don’t think anyone else than me would be interested in all the things I wrote but if you are still reading it means you could sense what I m talking about…

Exactly an year ago I had to face allegations, serious ones from the guys who do not know what a team mean, who have no idea how its made, and what it takes to keep a team alive. One of the mediator, Sandeep asked me, do i have any answer to these allegements, i then said i have 100 replies of their each question but i need not to answer a single of them, because i was million percent confident of their fate. i would have confirmed their doom that week itself but Sandeep f betrayed me and shamelessly unwrapped my mission of making a new team and its painfull.. more than you could ever imagine… They would have ate the dust there only but sandeep exposed it before time and I was ravaged…

You might be thinking we are here to study and why the hell should I take Cricket so seriously, but no, it was serious, more than even i could imagine and it was about how we live and how we think… but I m happy that serious cricket is over and my time with assholes too…

Now i m happily semi retire and play for warriors, a lovely team who listen me and even i never ever shown my face in practice and friendly matches but they want me in their team as far as i think. Cricket as a game is over for me and i play just to be with the guys who took me when other teams like Broomsticks refused to take me in their team. Anyways where the hell is Broomsticks ????

At last about SPS BULLS… i have many things to say but i don’t think anyone would be interested, you already had enough reading it till here and i cannot ask for more..

There dream of Major Tournament is over in 1st round and i advice to them is that none of you ever had strength of this major tournament… Try your luck in Super 6 in Fuera, I m not going to play that but my good wishes for that..

Those guys didn’t won a single game after, not a single game in the major tournament and stars of yesterdays are out in 2 consecutive tournaments in the 1st round….

1 year… 2 Tournament… 0 Wins…

Well Done Boys!!!! After all you did this without me…..

MY COLLEGE,SASTRA ---3

This post is strictly for my seniors who passed out and hope they miss the college.
Before start, about this photo, i liked it a lot and i guess this pic is taken from "asha complex",also i want to know the name of the person who took it and i think he is some junior(and not some pass out)

Anyways,The new session started and we all would have surprised if college wont give any.
First of all, The hottest news around is.... The horrifying 3 days are now matter of past and now mid-sems will be conducted on every saturday(2 exams each saturday) which means instead of 3 days it will take 3 weeks to cope with one midsem exam. The wave of reactions are flowing all around and as usual almost all of them are in coarse language and bitter tone. But what i feel personally its boon for below average students like me because now we can concentrate well on an individual exam and instead of sleeping whole saturday we can atleast give them a better go. Also we can easily compensate our no-study in regular time with a bit in exam time and which will be fruitful. No doubt, 6 exams in 3 days plunge our efficiency drastically and its always better to have exams one by one with some cricket in between..

The second thing is, i cant say for better or not, the "good 'ol" man, who before even giving a look asks your CG and who have answer for all the question and thats "NO", left the college.
Yes he is none other than Registrar, and some new one came.
I didnt saw the new one and hope not to see him. He as i heard was dean of biotech and now Registrar but no doubt more strict and troublemaker...

3 in 1 of new hostel will soon be changing in to 2 in 1 again in october and 18 month curse of this hostel will get over sooner, as one boy from each room will be transferred to a even newer hostel, in front of RLV which is under construction.

MY COLLEGE,SASTRA ---2

After 12 hours I have my end semester exam and believe me if luck favours i can pass that..
Now this post have nothing to do with my exams but my college.. We are studying in a decent one but there is a problem with faculty.. I am not at all saying that we dont have a good one but it could be better..
To understand it first look at geographical condition of this college..
Its on a highway connecting Trichy and Thanjavur(Two cities of Tamil Nadu)..
This college is 40 km east of Trichy and 15 km west of Thanjavur..
And the connectivity of this college from Thanjavur is so poor making us studying on an island..
A regular(???) bus takes us to NBS(New Bus Stand) which the outer most part of Thanjavur making it a hectic job for us to go there for our general works like reservation and mobile repair and all..
Now what all this had to do with Teachers and faculty ???
Answer is everything...
There are 10 hostels for students in this college but for faculty members... none(can say HIG,but i dont know who else than upadhyay sir lives there)..
So why a teacher who is ambitious or good enough and can manage himself the same remuneration in some city like Banglore or Chennai will take pain of coming here and daily take bus or his private vehicle(on a 2 lane highway), in short under such daunting conditions of travelling..
There are no doubt excellent teachers here but they might be working for love of this college but a new one will certainly give preference to some area which gives him/her better living or say travelling conditions...
In this time when colleges are as competitive as any MNCs we(college), must have hostels or say staff quarters for teachers to obtain or sustain good teachers..

MY COLLEGE,SASTRA

Hi,
I m writing this post in extreme pain as yesterday i got very horrible knee injury which few say is "sprain' or some"ligament tear" and few good friends even claimed its a fracture although minor..
The thought i want to share often comes to my mind but today i felt it with all the exact examples..
Its sad of us that practical exams are going in my college and its time for submissions and records and observations..
so today i went to my microprocessor teacher and she refused to sign my record as it was too late and i have no hard feelings for that..
She asked me to meet HOD(shanti mam).
As i was scheduled to write the exam yesterday which i didnt she asked me to meet DEAN of SOC(School of Computing).
Two things you must know is, there are two blocks(CTV and TIFAC) of 4 stories each to meet these three and the pain in my left knee was so intense it has tough for me to even sleep yesterday..
Now i made few observations.
When i was talking to my teacher i was in pain which was apparent but she not even asked me to sit (there was a chair lying by my side).. I remain standing for 1 hour
Then i went to my DS teacher and he also knew i m in pain, kept me standing for 1 hour..
HOD asked how are you and said you must meet doctor and DEAN was so humble that he written in letter that this student should get the slot he wanted and also in our talk of 2 minutes he offered me seat..
Now what i want to say i met two people who are in regular contact with me and they asked about my injury is "why are you standing in such pose" and whatever they said about my academics i deserved that but they forgotten that there is a human standing infront of me.
There was even a teacher who tought me for a year saw me crouching 5 times but her expressions were telling i m just trying to gain the bloody sympathy of teachers..
HOD who met me 5-6 times in whole asked me how i got the injury and i should take care of myself and DEAN who i dont think ever observed that i even exist in this college showed such concernes..

Why is it so ???
Teachers after coming in regular contact of students forgets that we are humans..thay treat us exactly as animals..
If i lost my record means i m just lying..
students do not deserve humour and they must be kept in class wether teacher is teaching something or not..
Students also consider teachers as their slaves.. Whatever happens they will sign my record..they will do this or that..
Whenever you will move up the hierarchy(except few) you will find people who are ready to accept the fact that students are also "Homo Sapiens"
The whole act is just like a class struggle of any society which i feel could be called as "Animals" against "Slaves"
