AGRADEEPIKA-07, SaintGits



Thursday and friday saw the annual students convention of the ISTE kerala chapte,being conducted at SAINTGITS Engineering college. Situated 30 minutes drive from kottayam, into the remote region of pattumattam,more near to changanacherry.I part of the 50 or so team from our college,set out on the early hours of thursday on our college bus.

We reached reached saintgits after a 5 hour tiring journey. Most had a peaceful sleep as we'd started at 5.15.

We're warmly welcomed by the hosts and we're quickly ushered to attend the 'AGRAGANYA' the quiz competetion, while somebody took care of the registration.Those who didnt have any events the day jus started off in various directions(you know for what..!!).

One of our team got into the quiz finals but it went uneventful.(ha ha... ya. we didn't get a thing yhere). After some time, the finals of the SAMVAD, the technical debate took place and our team got into the last two after a round of heated debating.We did superb in the finals too, but the judges felt otherwise.We'd to be contented with the second place.

Then there's a variety of cultural shows(the variety limiting to dance n song) n a rock perfomance by the school band.We also had a stumpous dinner(comprising of chiken biriyani)adding to the splendour of the cultural show.



We'd a litttle photo session after dinner to ourselves n reached some nondescriptive room in a theological institute.That's truly annoying as we'd hoped to make a little(you know how much) noise n cry. We're specifically asked to zip the lips since there're priests and nuns around. We'd to be content with playing cards the night.

Next day started at7.30, by which time, all had gotten ready to leave(very surprising..:) ) Breakfast by the hosts and another exciting day kicked off.

On all the events that took place that day, we just rocked. We won prizes in all the project presentation events including first in civil and computer and second in electronics and mechanical.

Of the six teams for software debuggin, we'd a representation of four, and for circuit debuggig, it's three of four.KRITYA, the hunt for the best manager, we'd four out of ten.


And the KRITYA, the hunt for best manager was a trreat for us all. One of our friend, VP got into the finals where he's made to dance to the famous 'OMANAPPUZHA KADAPPURATHIN' from 'CHANDUPOTTU'. Really enjoyed the fun.I've got a video of it.The problem is i've got a threat on my image. He's promised to put up my morph in one month from the date of releasing of the video on the net.

And at the closure, the hosts gave us a special gift for the colllege with maximum participation.TWO CRYSTAL BOWLS.And the event ended.

All in all it's two days of nice entertainment in all ways. Feast for the eyes, mind, and brain. I also should mention the wonderful hospitality of saintgits. They are really superb. HATS OFF TO YOU, SAINTGITS.

This is too much

It's a beautiful afternoon. The sun is low and the wind is nice. And 47 of us(dat's gr8.I never saw this much attendence in this hour) poor souls are struck in the class on such a nice day. The first two benchers being active enough saves us the trouble from sir. I think he's happy with whatever attention he's getting. Enought to keep him going for a full two hours.. U may be wondering who's this gem of a man. This's our mechanics of solids class.
Looking around the class, all i can see is active mobiles or drooping eyes. Oh n yes, behind me, sethu is writing a poem to get rid of his boredom. And i found the best time to be on my blog.
And the great news is our dear thara(a.k.a kozhi) is back from home after a cycle accident two weeks back, in which he bruised his legs and face in what's called the bitter way. But he's now back with glamour which exceeded our expectations by a huge margin.
Muthappa has asked me to be a part of the team to St.Geets for some programme there. That solves the problem of lab exam tomorrow, besides giving me six hours of attendence for doing practically nothing. When i say that, don't misunderstand that i always get attendence in class doing some great work. All the work i do is being present in class, which for me, and for many of my classmates, is a job in itself.
Sidhu made a shocking revelation half an hour ago form pachu's mobile. A message from u know who asking to call from landline. You may feel what's so great about it. Belive me when i say it, it's a news in itself.
Mobile battery's running low and gotta stop.. Will be back with more news form class

Shall we be on the computer?

It is the much awaited pooja holidays.Everybody is in a hurry to keep their books for pooja(talking about students). Those who(in our terms) have been to the temple only to see those beautiful chicks are in a rush to keep the books to pooja.It's time for some 'time'. A time away from all the hectic schedule of classes and tutions. Some time off to playing freely.oops! not forgetting praying to god. Sorry. cutting the rubbish, are computers also to be kept for pooja? As in are we allowed to play on the computer during these days? It is that everybody keeps their tools for pooja.. and for students it is books. Rather it was.And it was the only. Is it now? I dont think so. And i hope most of you will agree with me on this. Then is it decent(in front of the gods,to whom we seeks blessings with our books) to be hoked on to the computer because you can't touch the books? Is it correct to be hooked on to the computer because it's the only time when your parents are not screaming on top of their voices asking you to study?

P.S: RD, this is dedicated for you..

Annuversary..!!

Last year on the same day, i set out to begin a task,which i recon now(with a year's experiance) herculien, in the laps of the great gec-tcr.Yes, it's a year today to my mighty efforts,with special thanks to my parents n teachers not to forget my friends.And being in a batch which wants to set it's on mark in the pages of GEC-ien history, it's been really an achievement to be here now.


The day in college begin with unusual greetings to all thanking each other and congratulating on the achievement standing in S3. The only man who fell in the race was Thithoka, enjoyin his time with 3 mech-rani's in S1 ME-B.And alas, we'd the first two hours off(which we planned to mass scoot any way) thanks to our E.T sir.


A walk to the gallery took us 3 minytes n we sat there cherishing the good times of the year past spent in thise beautiful galleries.The day also gave us surprise by bringing some poor souls (who are to appear for lab exams at noon) into our midst bringing us some tears for them.

We were shortly joined by our own dear batchmates of mech-A and wat followed was a fierce battle with bat and ball between who knows whom.!?! Only, some one won at last and we'd lot of fun cheering.

Back to class at 11 and the day become usual dull monotonous boring self.

...NSS....

Today's a day worth it. We'd something called called cleaning(obviously meaning cuttin a great deal of grass), a programme organised by d NSS unit of our college i guess. Any ways it's lots of fun. Just worked good n had a real good time with our tutors.Even our fluid mechanics sir(who's a 'singam' in class) joined us in the fun with the spade. And another tutor going about snappin n the posin for photos itself was fun.
And then later in the afternoon, waded through the last two hour E.T class without managing to get caught sleeping.And, Ah..!! we submitted our E.T assingnment.. A whooping 46 out of 56 o the day of the deadline. It's quite an achievement u know, mechanical boys being so panctual.. It made me think our sir's kind of astonished.. I think i saw that look on hia face...

Call it a day..!!

Today, when i opened my eyes at 5, i thought it'll b a day as any other day. But that's not what happened. Soon after opening my eves at 5, i closed it again, only to be awakened by my grandmother's call at 8:30. Then i decided the first hour will've to go. Had a brush and bath by nine and then i decided t grab a minute of tv. N then sat there till 11 on a movie.
And when i finally got on road, it's d most pleasing of a sight that greeted me. The famed MG road, blocked like hell, even from the pocket roads.Don't ask me what's so pleasing about the entire road being blocked... U wont believe it, the corporation(..ma best guess) was patching the roads. And people, it's a sight in itself, the traffic being outright struck from 'shankarayya junction' to 'naduvilal'. Even though MG road is famed for it's blocks, it's the first time i'm seeing a block of this magnitude here.And the line buses changed route due to this block and it made me walk till 'ragam'.( :(.. poor me, walking almost 2 km in that hot sun).
And by evening, almost 90% of the potholes in MG road are gone. Isn't that wonderful? I'm very happy that the government made a move at least now. It's been ages since the road gave anyone a good ride.

Recently, some of my friends while on a get together, asked me to check some blogs, which were obviously written by my friends. Seeing all their valient efforts i made up my mind to spend some of my time to make this (my) blog a bit active. After all, nobody's above jealousy right?
