Factorial 6.1

Published on April 17 2009.


*For all those multi GB-sharers, those nonsense writers who spam the main chat, those who got kicked or banned from this hub, those who are not on DC, whose hard disks have crashed, who ultimately have fallen for eve’s love in the final semester, for my co-operator-rival-friend, Ignotus, who downloads everything he can, and for all the final year guys. This factorial is for you. I will miss you all.*

Yeah, it’s that time of the month again. Time for the facts, time for those unbearable truths, time for those tongue-in-cheek rumours, one last time. The before statement may appear paradoxical with the words “facts” and “rumours” in the same line. But that’s the way it is. Some of them are facts for some, while for others, they are just a bunch of good for nothing gossip. It’s okay, for I have nothing to do with their opinions. Let’s roll..!!

The “right”, the “wrong” and the rest.

-- Everyone wants to be on Page 3, some day, for some reason. Good News, It has become a hell lot easier. After Sparsh, it’s the turn of h-6 now. They are on Page-3 of TOI, for no reason. Are Hostel day functions that entertaining..? We all know what they are for, but what’s there for the event to be covered by a newspaper..? “Is it soo very happening..?” or is the rest of Surat soo very boring..?

-- If you have to redefine the word disaster, it would be the h-5 hostel day. What a mockery of ourselves..!!

-- A group of second yr ppl have created a blog site http://techiesvnit.blogspot.com/ . Any info on new software, geek stuff, any questions u have related to your computer malfunctions, anything u wanna tell others and feel proud or whatever.. Just go thru it a make a post.. If everyone is at least half as generous as the site creator, I think every query made will have a solution.

-- Everyone must have heard of the holy place Tirupathi. For all its sanctity and holiness, its official Website is a reported malware attack site, as certified by Firefox.

-- Goa has a bad effect on girls. True, coz all those semi-nude beaches and skimpy bikinis are a visual treat only for the guys, for girls seem to have nothing to do there. They get bored and frustrated. So what do they do..? Booze, booze, fall down, get up, booze, fall again, get up, and booze and embarrass themselves. However good ur catwalk may be, its equally important that u stand up at least, when you are in front of people.

-- Farewell..!! Pack bags, go daman, booze (repeat n times), give some gaalis to opp.sex, confess something, give those half-inspiring speeches, and back again. It has become a routine matter. But this time, the whole college went at a time (barring a lucky few), some have gone “InSaNe” and confessed feelings for their so called “just-a-friend”s, some almost did “it” (u know who), and some finally fell for it.

-- Graffiti on Naughty B’s shirt.. “Kya figure hain yaar teri..?”

-- ONGC Bridge, Bade log, bade bade kaam. And almost caught in the act..!! How unlucky.. Even after that “Sheesha” fiasco ppl just don’t seem to listen. Sorry Bhai..!!

-- Remove the Firewall on ur DC connection to access every file list. Go to Connection Settings and tick direct Connection.

-- There has been a data loss of 2-3 TB in the past week. Hard disk crashes are being reported more frequently now. Didn’t I mention about something in the previous factorials..?

-- Little Dev P once came on LAN. To his luck no hubs were up and running. He desperately wants to be in a hub, so what does he do.? He creates a hub for himself, and asks everyone to join. But wait..!! There is no one to ask.. gets pissed off and creates an ultimatum, that mech D guys should not run DC from now on. What a wreck..!!

-- Electronics Department. Can’t stop that weird little jaw dropping, helpless smile on face when you hear this name. It has made fun of itself so many times, in so many ways that it’s hard to point out a single case. This time however, the faculty proved their worth.
Case-1. One hyper-arrogant faculty, who always censures students in classes, actually got a GATE score less than his students.
Case-2. Another faculty (with an MBA degree) says there is a bug in MS office. Since he cannot seem to have margins in the printout as per he set them in the page layout during the editing of the document. LOL.

-- The 'achievements' page of H-11 on SVNIT website reads "We have GLR and almost all the branch LR’s from our hostel."

-- "Manchester United". I, somehow, can’t seem to write a factorial without this word. Yeah, they are thru to Semi finals. Congrats for that. But Chelsea 4-4 Liverpool. What a match..!! And for all those Man U fans : http://7five7.blogspot.com/

-- As of now, what is it that some 60 odd males of Production Dept. have one, and may be 2 or 3 females have one seperately..? Toilets..!!


Sparsh..!!

-- Singing Night. Most of the songs are boring, slow, dull and regional. Some of the participants dont even know how to hold a microphone. And the 10 PM deadline comes to haunt again. The most enthralling performance of the night is stopped mid-way.
-- Dancing Night. WOW..!! (except for that group song in the end). And I think its time to start giving some prize money for the participants, as they spend so much on dance classes outside college.
-- Fashion Night. Did it happen...?
-- Celeb Night. My hub counterpart tells u to say “suckers” when they say Bombay, but let’s face it. They are not excellent, but are by far, the best of the lot who came to entertain us over the years. Their energy is just AMAZING.


-- The infrastructure cost for all the Technical and Cultural fests (at least 6 in number) in an academic year – 12 lacs (approx). With this budget the college can actually buy that infra once for all. All they have to do is to just maintain it properly. If this is looked after, I don’t see the need for anymore infra costs from next year. They can be reduced by three fold at least.

-- We need a Mega Technical fest and a Mega Cultural Fest. That’s it. Enuf of these Autofest, quest, mindbend, Sparsh, kashish, prakriti, entru meet, etc etc bullshit.

-- Finally, a sincere advice to my friends in CS block, H-5. “Please flush your toilets after use.”

-- The biggest clarification, after all. DC means Direct Connection hub.

-- For all 3rd yr ppl. "RESPECT. Respect your seniors". If u wanna know how, ask your colleagues from AP.


That’s it guys. End of a journey. The same worded, same fonted notice of “Best of luck” advice from the director finds its way to the hostel notice boards, and I wish u all the same. For all those future hub masters and operators – contact abhinav757@gmail.com for any query.
