BOREWELL

Hi,
Today we had our farewell party in our our college and probably the title would suggest how it went. In spite of all my grudges against Sairam, i always felt that the farewell was quite good as it was generally conducted in the evening and the solitude and the serene atmosphere might make one feel(even me!) sad about leaving Sairam, but today it was not individual farewell, it was common farewell. What happened today was ridiculous, far from feeling sad one might have been cursing himself for being stupid enough to come to college today. The whole thanksgiving and the farewell crap started around 10 and ended by 4. The day started with the thanksgiving party in each department taking place at Labs or drawing halls and forthe privileged CSE dept in the auditorium(coz of Godmother's power i guess). However it was OK, but the real terror started after lunch around 1:30. From each department three students were supposed to come to dais at the open air auditorium and give a speech of farewell. Most of them were mokkai but a final year EEE guy's speech made Seetharaman's(our college dean) speech sound like a sweet Lullaby. But good old Seethu surpassed his previous bouts of mokkai and seemed to have achieved new levels of vindictiveness towards students and was not even entertaining us with his usual crap but rather he was reading poetry(that too about how we should never forget Sairam, when i have every reason to do so :-)). With some luck our dean would replace devil in hell cos of his new advanced and far more subtle(nothing but voice) torturing techniques.

ABACUS Quizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Recently me, Visu and Thunder participated in the quiz at Abacus(anna univ CSE sympo)and won second prize(thanks to the efforts of Visu and Sundar), the prelims looked like a refresher course of many past quizzes and the finals was drabai, as soon as I came to the Vivek Audi before the prelims i saw Nithin showing-off to Aravind about the questions(looks like these were not his intended questions but since he is not conducting he did not want to give his own questions, what a heart, but then one would be a fool to expect anything else better from his kind,In the finals we were able to win coz of two crucial factors, one of them was the efforts of visu and sundar and the other one was that we were seated before Aravind and Karthikeyan and all the questions were asked in a clockwise manner. There were a few good questions in finals with a few superb workouts from Sundar and Visu's part. We could have ended up first had it not been for the Hussain team from anna univ(more out of luck than talent). The day could not have been a better one though, that evening the Revaluation results came with me clearing a sub and so did Vinod. So it was one of the perfect day of my life.
