Tragic End to a Perfect Start : #Jammu Trip

The whole thing started with the captivity of negativity, somebody posted on Facebook about the bad weather conditions in Banihal and Srinagar. Everybody started exploring the possibility of some other alternative of Jammu, but there was no consensus about one place. Rishikesh was on the top of their list though. But the effort made by the trip coordinators (the SOCE) was admirable (NOT USING the names in the story as they are confidential). They tried very hard in sticking with Jammu and succeeded eventually.. Although this was not the single problem they confronted. There were a few more in taking permission from the department HOD. Only the coordinator and HOD know that what happened in the close room between them, but what he told everybody was that he was literally reprimanded. Then the process of taking permissions from every professor whom quiz was expected was very tedious. One of the professor declared that he will not recount that there will be a quiz or not tomorrow becaus...

Watch the Video before reading and I am sure that you will not stop before watching it till the end. "Let’s stop "tolerating" or "accepting" difference, as if we’re so much better for not being different in the first place. Instead, let’s celebrate difference, because in this world it takes a lot of guts to be different." - Kate Bornstein When we got to meet someone with different abilities, we call them God Gifted but have you met some specially abled special creations of God whom we might have called disabled but after taking a short glimpse at there abilities, anyone could be speechless.

I have cast my VOTE. Have you?

It is a great privilege to born and grow in the democratic country like Indian where I have the full right of freedom, speech etc. which some country does not have. So in some contests I consider myself to be lucky enough that I bought up in such a atmosphere where after every 5 years essence in the year turns different make you feel alive and active part in the crores of population. Such privileges are given to each and every individual of India to be a part of the growing nation and become a better citizen and work for the progress and growth of the country. Today I got the opportunity to use one of my right for the first time and I was very much enthusiastic to use the same.

Since independence, every citizen above the age of 18 years (21 years until 1989 when it was amend...

Rage for Internship Coming out through blogs

Mid-Sems are over but hunt for Internship will not and the frustration of Mid-Sems and no interns for NON CSE guys is comng out through Anonymous Blogs (one of them is Alia Cisy IITK-I m n't afraid of anything) and the truth proved to be bitter for some guys. I got a mail from Alia Cisy (completely Anonymous), first thought came in my mind was that is this the reply of the prof whom I mailed for "Summer Research Internship", her name was sounding similar to that prof. I was excited that is this the first reply of some prof finally but I got discouraged when I opened the mail, it was none other than a link of a blog. But after reading the contents I was happy that somebody came out and expressed the common views of Junta here, that some guys are not ready to accept on any ground. Although  I think the matter is settled now, everyone enjoyed that and I guess the blog was meant for fun purpose only and the motive was not to hurt someone's feeling and the views presente...
