Factorial 2.0

Published Feb 26th 2009.

The Wright, The Rong and the rest.

Academics first.

---Do NOT bunk classes. New rule states that, if ur attendance is less than 75 %, ur grades will take a toll. To be clear, If ur attendance at the end of the semester (including ur medical certificate etc etc..) is, say in b/w 50-75 % then ur grades in that course will be decreased by 1 unit. i:e AA will be AB, AB will be BB, and so on. And more strict rules will follow for less than 50% attendance.

--- Pay attention to ur internals. No re-internals will be conducted from now on. If u miss a 25 mark test, whatsoever the reason might be, u missed it for eternity, Ur grades will be calculated for the rest 75 marks only. And if ur internal marks are less the 30% for the first 50 marks i:e if u get less than 15 marks in the first two internals combined, both ur internals stand cancelled. And ur performance will be evaluated only on ur End-Sem. Whatever marks u gather in End-sem will be doubled and counted for 100. ( It may be a blessing in disguise for some, or a slap in the face for the others.. but u better watch out. )

And now..

-- What if Gujarati Jury has sensed AR Rahman’s Oscar ambitions first (Tuesday 24-02-2009, TOI) . ? What if Guj readers knew abt Slumdog before hand..? What shd we do ..? Go and garland them..? this may be some news for hardcore Gujjus’ but, does it deserve to be on the Front page of a National Newspaper.? Nonsense.. , Why are these ppl(or TOI ) so proud of themselves..? If they are let them be, but why show it on a Newspaper day in and day out..? Aren’t there any other imp news. ? Irritating.. Arrgh..

-- Is the Rumour Mill in Renesa dedicated only for the news on some fictitious couples..? There are so many other things happening out there. And the apology letter saga.. Where do these specimens come from..? ;-)

-- One honest qn. Why is a blue-film called so..? Why BLUE ..? Any particular reason ..?

-- Dec 21, 2012 .. Doomsday ..? Start searching on google.

-- Kashish Again .. The T-shirt of Kashish is an interesting one. The striking aspect of it being the picture of a “goggled skull” on the rear side. What does a pirate skull signify..? What do pirates do .? Feel free to imagine. LOL..

-- Our State Bank can buy a new Plasma TV and start a new ATM, but cannot open a new counter for transactions (at least for college students). Weird..?

-- Is Frieda Pinto the most over-hyped person in the world right now ..? Look at her acting in Slumdog. First timers in Telugu movies do better than that..

-- Yahoo mail is easier to hack than any other Mail provider. ( don’t ask me how)

-- The water geyser in my block is a special one. It works only in summer. We keep on complaining abt it starting from the odd sem, and by the time they repair it, a sem passes by.

-- So, Mindbend is from April 1-4. 50 odd days for conducting a National level Technical Symposium .? Wonder how these 3rd yr guys pull it of ..!! Lets just hope, we are not fooled on April 1.

AND Finally,

One of my friends, a 9 pointer, who dint bunk a single class till now, all these four yrs, that too being in Mech, and whose room lights used to be switched of by 11 PM, and who has just heard of ppl goin to Night Canteen, but never been there ( he never had the need to ), IS NOW—
Bunking the Classes regularly and sitting in the canteen strategizing on various things,
Meeting Prof’s for matters not related to academics,
Waking up till 3 AM and even thought of going to NC once.
Wonder how ppl change. Cultural Sickness, we can say. Hope Sparsh is a big hit..!!
