Exams-The OU way.

JNTU has brought down the axe and it has hit us real hard with its full-on change in the pattern of examinations.The changes will be effective this semester onwards and will be applicable to all the years.They go thus...

1.Each day of the internal exams will consist of 2 sessions each for a subject.
Timings : 10-12 and 2-4 p.m
2.Each session has 2 parts- Objective type and subjective type.
3.Objective paper(for 20 marks)will be conducted for a duration of 20 mins and will consist of multiple choice, fill in the blanks,T/F and match type questions.
4.The Subjective paper(for 20 marks, 90 mins) will consist of 6 Qs of which 4 have to answered.
5.Both the desc. and obj. papers will consist of 4 sets, each with a different bunch of Qs.
6.Loaning and interchanging of articles during the exam is not allowed.
7.Students are not permitted to leave the hall till the end of the exam.

The CSE HoD's words come to my mind "JNTU has done this because their leniency has been misused". Hacked online papers,leaked internal papers to mention a few of the taken-for-granted tactics.
Perhaps the major advantage of this schedule is the scraping of the online exams(which were just beginning to yeild 20/20s).Also, not to forget, you gotto do the real studying this time.Upto you to make the system work for you!
Good luck everyone.

Rite now!!!

Well...We are back with the latest buzz doing round the college...Read on!!!

First of all the news of all that happened after the protests on the campus...The next day our principal called up a meeting with the 2nd year CSE people in the seminar hall and tried giving explanation but then the boy's mama turned up with the TRS guy and again the meeting went in vain...The classwork for CSE 2nd years didnt carry on as usual for the next two days but now everything's rite as the principal of Malla Reddy college has resigned and our principal has refused to take any further step until the police investigation points to him in anyway...

Our college has been witnessing things that weren't even heard of in the past...After the CSI, we recently had Mr. Rodicks holding an workshop in our college.This gentleman is an expert aero modeller havin a considerable experience...The participants were given ideas on how things are made up...They even made some of them in the workshop that stretched for two days...

After the first internal exams of the freshers, now the danger lurks for the seniors as they await their results with their fingers crossed...Not a day passes when this terrible thing isint mentioned...With the rumour mills working at their best we can expect the results to be out this minute instead of waiting for days...Well but the news is that the supplementary exams are not gonna be held as usual in January but instead they r gonna be after the semester exams giving a break of just 1 week to prepare...Sounds like OU...

The sports scenario in the college has seen a sudden rise as the registers of the sports rooms are taking more entries each day...This, I suppose, is because of the lake being completely dry and renewed hopes that sports would happen just the same...Recently volleyball and throw ball has witnessed a new high with crowds standing there for hours witnessing the practise sessions... Girls can be seen doing their part as they come in with the throw ball...Cricket is being played in the area where the lake used to be mossy at its best...Basketball is just the same as it never lost its patriots...lake or no lake...

The canteen has now more to offer with even non vegetarian on their menu...Non - veggies can now enjoy the "Chicken Fried Rice" being offered at the canteen at a price of Rs. 25 per plate.Lets wait for the day when we have pizzas and sushi's on the list ;-)

Finally the management has decided to hold the management freshers party on Saturday that is 27th of December.The notices have gone up to all the concerned classes and the preparations are in a full swing...Seniors leaving no stone unturned to make a memorable day for freshers...The schedule goes thus that the juniors and seniors will have a "interactive session" from 10 am to 1pm and then on a DJ has been roped in to make the day till the buses leave....

So friends this is all the college has to offer these days...We are sorry for the long time no see thing...Promise to be back at the earliest with some more about our IARE!!!

Protests

The death of a CSE 2nd year student, Sai Kiran during the late hours of Saturday, 7th Dec, led to protests in front of college by all the students demanding justice be done.
The real reason behind his death(suicide or otherwise?) has not yet been confirmed although we have learned of the circumstances he was in. The story goes thus...

Kiran had gone to Malla reddy college on saturday posing as a student of that college. He was later caught by the authorities while trying to sneak out a text book from their library. The complaint against him was taken to our principal, P.C.Rao sir for which sir asked them to take whatever action they felt he deserved since he was caught on their premises. The boy's parents were also contacted and asked to report to the MR college.
The rest of story has various versions. The boy, it seems later contacted his family and said he would come home. However, when his mother reached the college, he had by then left and did not return home that night. The next morning, his dead body(in a very gruesome condition) was found on the train tracks.

What was on his mind?
We'll never know what really happened towards the end. Whether it was the MR college authorities who shouted at him or his parents' scoldings over the phone that caused him to go into such a depressed state of mind. One can only guess what was most likely to have happened.

Monday Dec 08 '08
The following day, in the college, no student who knew of the incident, entered the college.
Everyone collected before the gates and the slogan "We want justice" was repeatedly voiced.
ABVP activists, media and some TRS people found their way to the lead of the Dharna.
What did everyone want?
Many were against the principal's way of throwing the matter off his hands. Most said,"He should have dealt with the student instead of leaving the matter to MR people","He must be sacked". Everyone wanted an explanation from P.C Rao sir himself, but he did not turn up infront of the crowd.
Secondly, an explanation of what actually transpired in the MR college was needed.
Politics?
A few members of the TRS political party involved in the proceedings. A guy among them lived close by Kiran's house and had therefore come. They merely tried to sensationalize the whole affair.
Media?
A less known media house came to cover the protests and were completely anti-princi in their reports.
Police?
The SI of dundigal, came along and took statements from Kiran's close freinds.
Faculty?
Sharma sir, very admirably tried to negotiate with all the students.
Principal?
For all those of you who think our principal sumgly locked himself up in the college because 'he didin't give a damn' are wrong. Sir was infact dealing with some unruly TRS guys and got quite nervous. He was adviced to not come out, in fear of being mobbed by students.
MR college?
After about an hour of sitting outside the college gates, everyone began dispersing. Sharma sir, convinced most students to disappear from the scene and head to the buses and go back home.
A few students along with princi sir then made their to MR college to discuss the situation.
There too, TRS people and the boy's mama disrupted the discussions by demanding compensatory money for the death. They asked for a good 20 lakhs! Our princi sir was unnerved by their behaviour and left the place.

What now??
The matter hopefully won't be rested till the real reasons are out

CSI - A Start

Today,some of the cobwebs,so familiar to all the student chapters coming up in our college, were dusted off the CSI(Computer Society of India) student branch. Although the college's CSI branch was recognised by the CSI,Hyderabad and we were even issued a fanciful,laminated certificate for the same way back in september, only now have things started to appear brighter for the society.

During the last hour,today,a crude voting was done to elect the administration team from among the volunteer students.All the students who had joined the chapter(read, paid money for it in April), were assembled in the seminar hall and a 'supporters, raise your hands' poll was conducted for each post. At the end of the day,we got an admirable team of leaders.
President: Kunal,CSE 3A
Vice President: Bindu CSE 3B
Secretary: Rahul CSE 2A
Treasurer: Vijay CSE 3A

As per KVN Murthy sir, the inaugural function for the chapter will be held within the following 2 weeks. Soon after,the chapter must spring into action with PPTs, seminars and what-nots, with an event being held every month.
With every pair of my fingers crossed, I hope CSI will stand up to its word, and yes, those of us who are the members must co-operate in every way, so that it does not go the ASI way.
Best Wishes.

Goin On...

Da college has got a lot more to talk about these days...Check it out as we put in a few things in here..


To begin with the college has got a boring and empty luk...Da canteen lost many of its loyal costumers...thanx to fact tht all da 2nd, 3rd and 4th years along wid MCA are out relaxing after what seemed to be lenthy and roller coaster(some gud...sum bad...) kind exams...We are at our places relaxing n da freshers are battling it out wid their first internal exams...All set to begin wid the commencement of next month...All the Best freshers...Dis is the only internal u ll read for(Experience says so)...so dont leave it wid plans to cope up later...Give them ur best shot n TOP THEM ALL...neway u ll get busy wid different things for the rest two descriptives...



M Tech:

Cheers IAREians!!!Once again we are topping the list wid one more first in the state...10th of last had seen the commencement of the M Tech programmes for Computer Sciences and Aerospace.Many of our faculty has taken admission into it n r nw bak to the benches... :-)They will b carrying on wid their teaching as well their classes running from 1::30 PM to 4:00 PM on weekdays...Thumps up to all the students and faculty handling the stream...Congrats!!!

Lake:

"All the water sports in the college are now indefinitely postponed as the water level has fallen to dangerous levels and is not at all enough to swim leave rowing and other water sports as planned"...True guys the much talked abut IARE lake can be a thing of past in the new year the water has fallen drastically rising the hopes that v can host the cricket tournaments on our own grounds givin us tht home ground advantage...And yea there can be Annual Day as well...So lets just hope tht it dries up real fast till then fingers crossed...

Brainwaves:

This was a management fest held in the premises on 14th Nov evn as we were struggling wid the buks...There seemed to be everything frm paper presentations and debates to all sorts of fun events including balloon stamping,treasure hunt and lots more...We did see participants running round the campus wid hints in their hands for the treasure...What seemed the most applaudable part was the sponsors which included GMR group,ING Vysya and Club Mahindra!!!Great goin guys...Well done!!!

All .... things come to an end!!!

Now this is gonna be the thing we all are gonna sit up and notice...We have heard a million times that all the good things come to an end one or the other day...I prefer leaving the title wid a blank as tis up to u to decide whether this thing was gud or bad...JNTU has finally risen to the occasion and from this year on there will be NO ONLINES...jus 3 descriptive and their average...Thts it!!Onlines...first began wid the batch of 2004 and now ends wid 2008 batch...the reasons are unknown though...some say tis coz of bits being already available on the net before hand and some say coz of the fact that on many occasions JNTU has fallen short of requirements as many times we get the wrong answers and sumtimes options wid sumthing tht luked like chocs all da way...Many depended on it for the luck factor it involves n many hated it for its cons...Anyway they are not a part of JNTU from this year...But we are not that lucky as the batches presently pursuing it will have to face them...

So frendz this is about da college - IARE.

Till we get back to college on 1st of Dec...Have a nice time at home wid movies...frendz...and anything u like...the bottom line is : ENJOY!!!

Night after night!

The end-semester exams are on full-swing and everyone's at their wit's end!
The days seem short and no amount of time is enough. Portions are gigantic, even with the AIOs to the rescue. Sleep is the last thing on your mind but sadly you “just fall asleep”, waking up to find its “just too late” and somehow unfair. If you want to successfully do that ‘night-out’ and you just can’t, then this article is what you should be reading.
Follow these tried and tested tips unless you have deviating sentimental commitments regarding them!

- Universally known sleep-buster –coffee. Let coffee be your water!
- Don’t lie down and read, unless you are good at it.
- Shift your place of study. Furniture to floor to bed(sitting position).
- Be scared. You are doing this night out cause you are scared about messing up the next day, right? Then just keep that fear going.
- If and when you feel that sleep-monster pressing down your lids, react in an instant. Stand immediately. Walk. Laugh. Pinch. Whatever. None’s watching you, buddy.
-Keep your feet dipped in a bucket of cold water!
- Dread sleeping.
- Write and learn.
- Do portions which include problems (numerical solving). Nothing is as sleep-inducing as boring, long theory answers.
- Study portions you are fond of.
- Don’t ever, ever give up sleep totally. You don’t want to sleep in the exam hall! So sleep a min. of 3 hours.
- Derive inspiration from you other slogging mates. You are not doing it alone. Together, ‘we shall overcome’.
But most importantly, you should want to study. Who knows you could be so much in flow with it that you simply forget about sleeping! If you find yourself spending more time trying to stay awake rather than learning, then just go sleep! This isn’t your cup of tea.
Happy studying!
All the best.

Freshers Speak...

Here is the first post by freshers...read it out as they express their views about their first month in IARE...Bout canteen,faculty and evn cniors...

OUR FIRST MONTH:

Education is da light of life sum1 told...We stepped onto it years ago wid"Aa"(A),"Ba"(B),and a tweet tether(teacher)!then came time for "May I tam in tether?"(May I come in teacher?)in da lower classes along wid"He tole my pentil."It had its own happiness & fun!Primary school saw us working real hard to learn sumthing new and to be ahead of all.Once in high school,came all projects and exhibitions to participate in.Class Xth and we were glued to da text buks and all kinds of magazines market can leave for the board exams!"Ressults are out"somebody shouted and wid that came the excitement of the college life...Wardrobe saw all the new additions exclusively for da college...Wid trendy pants to latest kurtis v had it all... :)One week into it and v knew tis nt at all da sugar and spice journey v thot of...v realised that therse are gone be hell of life 4 us...Rite frm 6 in morn to 6 in evning n bck hme wid loads of assignment ws wht intermediate offered us!Cum monday n crept in the guilty feeling 4 nt reading da previous day for da so called weekends...but did da same thing every time.Da time passed away leaving its own fun(read as terror) and memories, sum gud bt mostly bad, glued wid buks whole day...Then came in time for EAMCET examination!!!Looking back now it seemed pretty funny tht v spent scary days and trembling nites for a exam which already has has all da answers given!B A A C D our answer scripts went on and finally we were done wid it.From that time to da day we spent in this college we ha nothing to do...Eat like a bull and sleep like a log...

Now let me share my experiences of the first month in this college!!Tis not at all difficult as I remember it pretty nicely...Tension was at peak as we ran about here and there,excited, looking for classes and labs and just everything!Final Year students gave us all a very warm welcome which was followed by the orientation programme!Principal spoke on the occasion and made us feel a part of IARE rite from that moment!We were briefed by seniors who told us all bout the lecturers and the college!!Delicious lunch followed!!Then came the moment when we stepped into classrooms after a log gap of 4 months.Here all the lecturers gave their subject introduction and the rules to be followed.Then it was called a day!Ragging was the first word that came to our mind when we got in the college the next day.Then began the introductions and by the time we were out of class that we had heard each name 7 times if not more.Shuffling of students went on and we were finally sorted out as per alphabetical order.

Coming out of the class the first thing we would like to speak about is THE CANTEEN!We use all caps as this canteen is special with a spectacular lake view...Someday we plan to get out there and do what we have seen some people doing sometimes: Put their legs in water and sit for hours!!One thing that seemed so good to me was the names of the blocks Aryabhatta and Bharadwaja!We know many people wont agree to this but we found the colour of our blocks pretty dignifying...Something like Air Force Academy!Now coming over to lecturers and seniors we don't think we are wrong when we say that these are the people who can cross any limits just to reach the sky!

Regards,
Swaroopa and Swathi.

Tic Toc...Tic Toc...

The clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop

At late or early hour.

The present only is our own,
So Live, Love, toil with a will --
Place no faith in 'Tomorrow' --
For the clock may then be still.

VANGUARDS all the way...!!!

Everyone is busy with their lives these days,be it their academics,career,friends,family etc...Nobody has time for themselves as well!!! In this fast paced world everyone is trying hard to fight all odds and carve a niche for themselves and while doing this we have forgotten and left behind the society where people struggle to make ends meet.There are millions of unfortunate souls who are desperately fighting hard for their place in today's society and also those who've given up dreaming and aspiring.They too are a part of this beautiful world we are a part of and have equal rights to deserve what all of us do. If we want to do something we need to start right now cause a 'good start is half done'!
With the same motive an initiative was started by Gopal Bhargav ECE 4th year and his friends-VANGUARDS-Enriching Lives Enhancing Smiles. A student organization which reaches out to all those who are in need of help,support,love and affection.


Vanguards is a non-profit student initiative whose foresight is to give the orphans and the aged all the happiness,joy,bliss,smiles and most of all give them the hope to live life without any hassels and dissapointments, to encourage children to dream big and bring them a step closer in achieving their desired.
At Vanguards,the members have visited a few orphanages and centres for children and depending on the prevailing conditions, they have shorlisted a few orphanages for which they could seriously do their charity work. Among them is Gagilaapoor Govt. School at Dundigal,with students in need of urgent attention in academics. Basic school-life necessities,community development and career guidance is to be undertaken.
Another organization is Spoorthi Foundation at Cherlapalli which works for underpriviledged children where they provide them with food,shelter,clothing,education,medical care etc...Its an organisation which runs well, but is in need of expansion.
The other orphanage is Care and Love Orphanage which is in Jagadhgirigutta in Kukatpalli, and is in a very miserable condition.The orphanage has unhealthy surroundings and the interiors of the place are disastrous.There are no decent sanitation, sleeping or educational facilities.
Its sad to see these children,a part of the country's future, being robbed off their precious childhood. All we need to do is support this noble cause...We need to bring in the change...We should stand united and help these guys at Vanguards doing all their efforts to give those children a happy and a secure life.
The spirit of Vanguards lies in not giving up and fighting on till they succeed to the end...They strongly believe that their confidence,dedication and determination will help them achieve all their goals...as they are out there to make a small difference in those lives.We wish them all the best and promise that we students will give unconditional support to the children...and bring smiles and cheer in their lives... :) :)

Back from 'The tour'.

It was on 29th Sep, night that we realised that we had just been through the 10 most amazing days of our college life. We had an entire train compartment to ourselves and there was no lack of enthusiasm mixed with a feel of sadness. Loud cheers,hugs and goodbyes later, we left for our homes. Our Tour has just ended and Every damn bit of it rocked!! :)
Around 80 of us, Cse 3rd year had undertaken an industrial tour to Delhi, although we even had an extended iterenary covering Agra,Shimla,Kullu manali and Amritsar. Alighting the A.P Express in Agra on 21st, we were too tired to even think of what all was in store for us. Those 10 days turned out to be a whilrwind of bus journeys and short stints at hotels. The Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Lotus temple, parliament, Qutb minar, Golden temple, Wagah border and Rohtang Pass will all be remembered loud and clear by us, but still more cherished are our memories of sticking it out together and having a laugh at our situations. Morning ablutions at a gurudwara washroom, Eating dinner at the roadside before the Birla temple, scolding our jeep driver in telugu(coz he dint understand the language ;) ,dozing over each other in the bus and having embarassing pics taken during the same...these crazy acts'll always stay etched in our memories. There were those high-adrenaline moments when each person was at their freaky best...Rafting over white waters, horse riding of steep and narrow passages , throwing snowballs at each other even while we felt numb with cold and looking out the window to see clouds down below!!!
WOw!!Everything else seems petty when you are out there among those lofty mountains or picture-perfect landscapes.
We had our fair share of lows too. We had a bad day in Shimla, thanks to a shower of hailstones. But, the upside was that we helped each other out of it.
More is less if I had to talk about all of it. I must tell you one thing though...'If you get the chance to tour, then don't lose it ...even if it means that you havta take extra classes or beg every faculty down the line!!'
Cheers:)

Welcome Juniors!!!

Heyloaaaa juniors...!!! Swagatham to our IARE...!!! As the new academic year kicks off a new set of confused yet aspiring and talented bunch of people stepped into our college on the 24th to taste the different experiences B.Tech offers to one...The students showed mixed emotions...Some were happy, over excited and fun filled, whereas some were nervous and tensed about this whole new change in their course of academic life...The parents also seemed anxious and were worried about their children...I am becoming nostalgic...(i remember my first day at college...a pretty confused and a clumsy fresher i was...!!! :P ) The orientation program started off with the management guys and our principal welcoming the new batch...

After the programme the students were shown way to their respective branches and the faculty and staff guided them all the way in completing all the formalities...Later lunch was organised by the college authorities as a gesture of welcome...The parents and students toured our college for a while...(thanks to our college beach...a major attraction...!!!) Later there was a mini-project expo given by the ECE 2nd and 4th years...This was attented by all the ECE freshers and other students as well...The seniors showed excellent display of their talents and presented their work in a very organised way...Their hardwork and talent was appreciated by one and all...Hope that our juniors were inspired a little...!!! So wishing all the freshers a happy and a warm welcome to IARE...Hope you get all the success...Happy beginning and enjoy your much awaited college life...!!! Any help or suggestions are always welcomed...So folks rock on...!!! Be proud to be an IARE'ian...!!!

Done With The Exams...!!!

There's some good news...JNTU is conducting a re-examination for the students who had to appear for the faulty online papers released by them...they have acted at last...thank you JNTU for doing this...

The other day i was pretty mad at their irresponsible behavior bcoz i was worried about how terribly everybody had scored that day...!!!just when we thought exams got over...here comes another lot...so keep giving these exams...!!!but then i still dont like the concept of online exams... :( something creative and innovative should be there...(i know i can talk on this topic for hours...!!!)Finally descriptives are over...that's a good thing...!!!we can take some time out for ourselves...!!!so guys have fun...relax...chill out...!!!grab a cuppa coffee...and sink into your sofa watching an all time favourite movie...!!!wow...!!!folks rock on...!!!

Online Exams...we hate it...

The internals have finally begun...and worst fears have come closer...all thanks to the JNTU guys for delivering the online papers in the computer coded script...most of the students had to face the problem of answering the questions in weird text...all they could do was to stare at their systems and watch the clock tick...but it was a nice experience for a few who tried out their luck factor...some scored really well by blindly selecting the options...and the others were found cursing their luck...!!!Now who is really to be blamed for all this...?

The officials have said that it was JNTU's fault as its an online test and they have to depend on the internet to carry out the scheduled exams...they say that there was some server problem...i mean such an established institute like JNTU should be aware of such things...we can't predict about the server connections...atleast we must have an alternative to sort out these issues...the students are affected in the end...there should be some solution for such unfortunate events...there should be some fair judgement...it was bizzare...anyways most of the people aren't really bothered because they say even if they were given the proper set of questions they would have scored the same...so in the end...its better to abolish this online exam system...instead it will be better if they include some project or assessment work...some interesting and challenging stuff which will put our mighty brains to work...!!!JNTU are you listening...??anyways folks...do your exams well...put in your best and sincere efforts...gud luck...!!!

11th Hour Updates...

With the college finally re-opening on Monday, here are tidbits of info abt the college...
The part of lake that came in our college has risen to a new level with more rains and there seems to be no way it can recede over the next few days...

The last step of the dias is just visible in the water and the fence which used to be around 4-5 feet high is just a feet visible now....and with so much water around the only sporting event tht can happen is Boat Racing as sumbody put it here....the water all around is what I wud call 'Breach of IARE Property"... Sporting tournaments this year may be conducted in the some other college campus as speculated if the water does not recede by then...so sport geeks dont worry...but do keep your fingers crossed as it is just speculated...

With the end of these holidays came an end to compensatory classes for the students of CSE IIIrd year as they all prepare for the tour later this month...The latest buzz doing round the campus is Shastra - 08 of IIT Chennai where an IAREian is supposed to perform this year as it celebrates it Golden Jubilee...

One thing I cannot miss in this post is the arrival of Ist sessional exams beginning from 9th and going on upto 14th (yea... even on Sunday) of this month.Almost all the notice boards got a new addition of Anti Ragging bills as MBA and MCA freshers began their classwork...B Tech freshers are scheduled to arrive on 24th of this month...

So guys with nothing much going on in the college these days(obviosly we arent there na...) I better end this thing now... Yea...All the best for your sessionals and keep rocking...

My First Day...

Stage is set!!Trumpets blown!!All seems to be just ready for the new batch of IAREians as they buckle up after 3 months of just lazing around(Their classwork is scheduled to begin sometime next month).

A reason ample for me to remember my first day in IARE.

Complete formals and pretty late(at 11:30) entered me in the campus 2 months before my counseling counterparts...After 2 hellish years of being cramped up in a Narayana/SriChaitanya lookalike...Anyway I came to the main block and after inquiring 4 about 10 mins found out that my class was (temporarily) supposed to be the one opposite Admin office.I stepped in to see a lecturer talking about Internals(the only word I heard in that lecture).A grin stretching from ear to ear welcomed me as lips moved to form the words asking me to get in and make myself "comfortable".He continued talking (God knows what)as I made myself "comfortable" or the exact opposite of it.I just sat through the time hardly listening to what was being said(a habit which made me live through most of the classes later that year).After that fortunate lecture we had an English class which had all sorts of communication skills being practiced(Even I got a chance to address the class...Smiles).Then came lunch n I just fooled around(looking 4 hideouts...for my debut bunk).We had no classes later that day(How I wish u could have days like this again) except a small intro session(which later became the daily routine and the only thing which was routine) b4 it being called a day.

College Happenings

Our very own IARE beach...!!!due to rains over the past few weeks...the water level of the so called lake next to our college has risen...and the water entered our campus...the ground is full of rainwater...its quite a breath taking sight from a distance...since its drying up the water level has kinda gone down...according to few folks who had been to college last week it was really amazing to see n they had a great time fooling around...the college is just about the same...the canteen has got nothing to offer as there is no student crowd to relish its "delicacies"...people still writing their suppplementaries...hope they have all written well...!!there was an orientation programme for MCA students...our principal was welcoming everyone with his own antics...(no offense...)The admin deparment is handing out memos...collect it guys...ECE 2nd years are attending xtra classes in order to finish their syllabus in time...they will be losing out on their classes after the holidays as their lecturers are accompanying their seniors on their tour...good souls...!!!Everyone is struggling and putting their sincere efforts in completing the assignments given to them...heavy workload...!!!I mean times are changing...even engineering students are becomming the normal "workaholics"...!!!The internals fever is on...!!!Starting from the 9th...and so less time to prepare...!!!Even if we are given all time in the world we will still not stop complaining...!!!so..thts the lateshhhhht buzz doing around our college...so guys study a lil' and enjoy max...keep the spirit of IARE on...!!!

For the details, the water is knee-deep and it is quite an impressive lake,as in, you could take pics by it and tell your frens "Hey, see, I told ya we got our own lake in the college!!"

Lets keep fingers crossed, next year wont see such a scene . Or else, Underwater-batting anyone? ;) ;)

I-T Raid n more updates..

While everyone was blissfully enjoying the weather, the I-T (Income Tax) team came down to the college ! Few of our admin. heads sure saw their nightmares come alive!! :P

NTv Channel guys had come to the college for conducting some talks/shoots with volunteer students (debate,opinion kinda stuff). We didn't get to see the action though...m not sure it took place.

Coming to the hottest topic- The amaaaazing weather!!!
I just can't stop talking about it! Owing to the location of the college, the rains are even more scenic there...the lake, the fields, the skies- Wow!
Passed out students...you guys should find any damn reason and visit the college one of these days!! I couldn't really do justice by describing the ambience in mere words!

1 Rupee a day can change a life

1 Rupee a day

The idea behind this concept is to help needy with the least possible contribution any one can make, say 1 rupee. A rupee a day is not a big contribution as on average every one of us spends more than at least 20 rupees a day. 1 rupee might not be a great contribution.

Then how are we going to make it a useful donation with this single rupee? Here’s the answer- a drop of water may be just a drop, but such drops can make an ocean. An ocean doesn’t start in one single step. The drops form a tiny stream, streams combine to form a river, these rivers form the seas and these seas together are known as an OCEAN. Similarly, one rupee is a just a drop, but combine it with the every one rupee that others donate and that’s lot of money.

This can be enough to change one child’s life or save an old,diseased person. I would like to stress on the children and the aged. I think the middle aged ones have options, but the children and aged do not have much of an option. The children are the future of this country they need to educated, protected. The aged have worked all there life educating and protecting and are then left to old age homes by ungrateful children.We may not change how people think but we can help these needy ones. Think for a minute is it just enough if we are happy? Shouldn’t we help others? How many times have you felt that it would have been good if someone helped you in your tough times? This is an opportunity to show you care about the way things stand.


Here are the estimated figures:

You donate 1 Rupee a day

1rupee x 30 days = 30 Rs/month
30 x 12 months = 360 Rs/ year

Now a pizza cost 200 Rs, a movie ticket cost 100 Rs, think of it is 360 Rs really a burden for you.

There are approx. around 1500+ students in our college and all the faculty and staff.
Say out of all these 1500 members are willing to donate a rupee a day.

1500 x 1 rupee =1,500 Rs
1500 x 30 days = 45,000 Rs/ month
45000 x 12 months = 5,40,000 Rs/year

Now you can see that this amount can be used to help a child, he can be educated. One educated child is a gift to the nation. He can help several other people. The aged can be provided with medicine and comforts .

If not approaching the needy directly,the money can be directed for the same through established and credible NGOs, say CRY or Help age India.
Every single rupee can be useful in helping the needy.

Help someone, your help can make there life.

p.s: This idea new has been considered before by my seniors to be implemented in our college. It is still in the developing stage and has not yet started running. We'll keep you updated on its status. In the meanwhile, think over this idea.

p.p.s: This idea is being implemented in the world by an organization called “1 DOLLAR A DAY”. It aims to help the poor in the world. Visit www.1dollaraday.org

Book Review: One night@ call centre & The 3 mistakes of my life.

Let me get this clear: I chose to write both the book reviews in a single article coz they really didn't deserve 2 separate ones.
One night @ the call center :
Chetan Bhagat's second book and quite a let down too. This book talks about the lives of a group of call center employees with their myriad problems and attitudes. Their life takes a full flip when one night ..they receive a call from God . Yeah..god..as in..'God'!! That's the story simply put.

What was clearly lacking in this book was sanity in the final circumstance. Chetan probably had in mind an inspiring book, but it somehow just failed to make me think deep. While few people really liked the book, most were not happy with it...so i guess it just boils down to this -'Read a borrowed book and if ya like it, well and good and if didn't ..if wasn't at least a waste of money!'


3 mistakes of my life:
Chetan's most recent book and frankly I can't say which is more boring...this one or one night...! This book speaks of 3 boys Omi,Ish and Govind(the guy who commits the mistakes!).
The book's biggest negative was the freaking-huge number of clichés used. Cricket,India,Nerd,Gujarat,Goverment- all of these issues were repeatedly used and abused.
Sometimes the story went too over the top and all "masala movie-ish"! Though he more or less stuck to the mainline of the story, it was quite painstaking to sit through the book.
I can only give you guys this piece of advice- "If ya want to kill time brutally or if you have real interest in chetan's books, go along and read it. If you are short-tempered, for sanity's sake, forget it!!"
In the very wise words of a Cnn-ibn article
"Picking up the book the 3 mistakes of my life is a big mistake" ! That explains a lot!

Get your excuses right!

They say, we realize some parts of our brains and intellect existed only when we have to conjure up excuses, the worst being for 'Why didn't you come to the college yesterday?' . If its a friend asking the question, you happily give away details. Chances are you were driving maniacally around highways or cozying up in a movie theater.
But hey, out of the blue, your much-interested lecturer catches you on your way the canteen and asks you the same Q - "So, what Miss/saar..what were you doing yesterday? Y didn't you come to collg?" .
Instant reaction : Weak knees,quivering mouth.
You think..Damn! I should have known that was coming...Now, thinkk,think,think (read lie,lie,lie)

You say "Sir, I was sick..fever"
Sir looks at you like you gave the most boring excuse ever made-up. I don't blame sir...Fever is the most repeated,worn-out, not happening excuse !! Sometimes, I think even if i did have fever...I wouldn't give that cursed excuse...cause I wouldn't even have the lecturer sympathizing with me(cause they don't blv it). So much for actually suffering.
One day in class, every boy who stood up and was questioned about their absence said the same thing - "fever sir" . It would take a coincidence of sorts or a really dumb lecturer to have believed them. Sir got mighty put-off when even the very last boy mouthed the same excuse and said hastily " Ok.Then, get the doc's prescription paper!!" . I was happy the boy dint argue further saying that he didn't go the doc..it was mild ..or sm such stuff.
People talk creativity, innovation and out-of-the-box thinking. Our old fever- excuse could surely do with some 'makeover' .
"Brain fever" ? .. haha..pretty believable ;)

Book review: Five point Someone.

Now, here is a book that any person, regular reader or not, can pick up and read on without thoughts of food and water!

Chetan Bhagat's first and by far his most popular book, Five Point Someone(FPS) is an engaging, light-hearted take on 'what not to do at an IIT'!

The book starts off in the typical 'Chetan' style of making the story seem real. The story looks into the lives of 3 friends -Hari, Ryan and Alok and a thrilling series of events which they go through during their term in IIT. Ryan Oberoi is the rich,smart,rebellious, uber-cool guy while Alok is of the total nerdy sorts, thick spectacles and all. Hari, the narrator of the story is the average plump boy , a Ryan-wannabe.



The story kickstarts with the 3 of them being ragged, clothes-off on their first day at IIT! What follows is a strong friendship between the three, complete with their nutty ideas to 'screw the educational system and live for the moment'. Meanwhile, Hari develops a liking for Neha, Prof. Cherian's ( their ultra-strict HOD) daughter. With all this going, they realise that they are the lot who stand last in their class with 5 point something GPAs. The book goes on to elaborate on how they mess up big time(complete with Vodka and smoking grasson the campus roof) and end up realising that they were wrong all along. The move on from being 'five pointers' to five point someone, gaining an identity though not without unnecessary pains.

What you'll first observe about the book is the totally lively way in which the characters are dealt with. Although it is criticized of not having any literary value(as it is meant to be), it doesn't bore you a bit. Chetan's adjectives rock...'teeth ten years late in meeting an orthodontist'!! His language is laden with typical college lingo and humor. Being college-goers, we can easily relate to the thought process of these guys, though I must say, their adventures were far too fantasy-filled(a touch of bollywood!). But, on the whole, the book is a must-read. Its a reminder that 'shit happens' when we don't think and act straight. Whether you like reading or not, this book is a real stress-buster cause it has a familiarity by being based in India and speaks of hormones and highs.


My advice :Go read it. Half of India has read it !

Extra info. : The books is being made into a hindi movie!

Extra Classes all the way!

The institute has come up with something helpful and innovative for 3^rd years.

As is common, most of the grinding for placements happens in the 3^rd year.

Our college this time has appreciatively out of its way to put in its two cents into helping students to get placed well.

We third years now have 2 hours a week set aside for the training in the following fields

• English and communication skills
• Personality Development
• Aptitude and reasoning.

Most jobs look for students who are adept in the above mentioned areas, apart from having a good grip on the subject.

Last week, our aptitude class went on pretty perfect with every single person in the room wanting to learn. The questions although simple, were calling on our hibernating 10^th math logic. Time spent was really worth it.

Our English class though is another different story. With English grammar basics to begin with, nobody seemed as interested in concentrating to our sir! I hope things are better next class on!

Free Software Foundation Seminar.

Last saturday, a seminar on Linux and Free Software Foundation was organised by students from our college. The session began in the afternoon and lasted for about 2 hours. The first speaker -Srikar, from VNR college gave an impressive start to the seminar. He went on to list out the main limitations of Windows Operating System (O.S) as against the USPs of Linux.Here are some of the main points from the lecture.

-Proprietary software is that which is a "private ownership" so that common man cannot excercise their access and claim to it. MS Windows falls in this category.
-Free software is that whose source code is available i.e. people have the opportunity to modify and see the actual code behind every front-end execution.This gives scope for user freedom, thus leading to higher efficiency of the software and greater levels of security.
-Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds were those instrumental in making the Free software and Linux a reality.

The talk was accompanied by a few videos shown to reinstate the fact that Linux and free software is a gainful option. There was another short-lasting talk by one Srujan from VNR.The seminar on the whole was a huge success with most of us wanting to know more about the same.
Those interested in widening knowledge and helping to spread awareness among people about the availability and advantage of free software; can submit their names to any of the volunteers-Madhu,cse3 ; Charan ece3;VishnuKanth cse 3;Rohit,ece 3;Raghu ece3.
Special thanks to the team for taking up initiative ,making things work and enlightening us.

More Rules!

When circulars come around to the classes, another fresh batch of rules is what can be most expected. The same did happen recently...
-No shirts w/o collars and jeans are a strict no-no
-Canteen has timings during which its open. Around an hour in the morn,aft and evening.
-Library too has got timings ( What the ..!!)
-Library, which was famously known for its leniency in the book-isuing process i.e. you can issue a book for half a year w/o being so much as questioned; has now become extremely strict about the same.

The incoming batch this year ll probably miss out on some major fun we took for granted. Buckle up, guys...we are getting 'professional'!

We got the best bus around!!!

4086, rest in peace!!!

4086 is out of our college fleet of extra- "ordinary" buses. And we have worthy substitute "180". Today it just showed us 180 degrees!!!
The engine let go in a slope in pragathi nagar and seriously, thanks to the driver, he tried his level best to get it into place.

First impression is last impression!!!



My first impression was " Oh Shit!!! not again" . now i feel 4086 is a wonderful bus when compared to this one.

And now for the icing on the cake... there comes prakash sir asking for names for checking fees !!! Sir half of the boys are standing, and u already out there for fees!!! Along with checking for passes as a in charge give us some decent facilities. "They call it ethics"

YOU NEVER KNOW SOMETHING'S VALUE UNTIL YOU LOOSE IT.

4086 I miss you. PLEASE COME BACK! ;-)

First day in 3-1

Finally today I have entered the college after long time and i was pretty surprised with few changes......

Firstly the way the classrooms were allotted was pretty well thought, as by the time the freshers turn up they wont be directly available to the seniors and will be under the watchful eyes of PC Rao.

Then the small but interesting change which i like the most.......

The college symbol has been changed ,the previous one which was a bit shabby and mixed up and didn't make any sense is gone. Now it is much better looking , though simple, it is much cooler than the one before. looks like a badge with a sun behind IARE and down with 2000 written in it.

Various things are now well organised than the last two years and also well thought of. For example the rooms, fees payment etc. which seem to be more effective.

Along with the pros, we also have some cons...

The Volleyball courts,the cricket cum running track cum annual day cum jukebox arena is far from being recognised...our bus 4086 is missing!!!
(ya even my co-blogger Tulsi must have ended up in that bus!!)

The weird college in front of our college look much more weird.


With all these I have met many friends and had a great time on the first day of my 3-1. Hope this sem leaves me with some good memories to smile away with.

Gonna see college again

Holidays are over!!!

Hmmm finally a long but needed vacation is over. Results have been bad( for me atleast). now everyone is gonna be incremented by 1 sem ;-) . Hope you all have great time this sem and enjoy well mates.

and for all those freshers coming in...welcome we are just waiting for ya. ha ha ha ;-)

Holidays have been boring

Finally even the First years have completed their exams. It is now their turn to enjoy the few initial days and then die of boredom later!!! That is what I thought initially..but surprisingly they have only a week holidays!!! But for me it has been boring.... trust me holidays can be damn boring .Specially when there are no new movies. I have exploited the few initial days and now I’m sitting at home having nothing much to do. Sleeping all day…….



The news that “Results are gonna come today!” always caused nightmares though…. but luckily we haven’t had to see our nightmares come true, for 2nd years, rest others have passed this phase successfully.
There hasn’t been much happening in the college in the past two months, as far as I have known.

Except for news like, NRI seat now in our college for C.S.E and Aero started at whopping 8 lacs!!! Lately it has been 5 lacs minimum. Also heard that Bashith sir got married sometime in May…. (Hope his temper goes down a bit now at least!!)
Unfortunately there hasn’t been any educational tours for ASI student members this time  . Too bad….

Presently I’m waiting for my results. I wish all the very best to 1st years who have just finished their long battle with their exams.
And waiting to get back to college and find some juniors step into our college….
Hoping a lot from the college!!!

I’ll get back to u guys more frequently as soon as college begins. Till then enjoy and freak out!!!

It’s our IARE!!!

CeLL stories.

You think life is good. You have your cellphone brimming with contacts and messages. You include it in your list of 'five things I can't live without'. You put it under your pillow while you sleep, hold it in your hand, like a limb extension when you are awake. The only time you put it out of sight is when you sit for the exams. After coming out of the exam hall, you head straight to your bag and search for it-and bang! it isn't there!! Pinch me if you aren't tearing up!

Cell phone flicking is nothing new in campuses these days. But today there occured one of sorts.
Imagine, a whole bunch of cells disappeared from students' bags, bags of the first years which were left in the room before going for the exam. Beats me, how that cellphone-freak did that!!
If it was a student, that guy/girl mustav come out of the exam hall early and dunnit. The exam was english and if you ask me, its the perfect exam to carry out the task, cause that is one exam you won't find people 'suppli-fying' and leaving the hall in a half hour. SoMe mastermind he /she is!!!
If this is one end of the stick, the other sharper end is the squad. In another college, the JNTU squad which caught few guys with cellphones(switched-off, even) in their pockets were not allowed to write the exam!!
So, the best option is submitting them on the teacher's table in the exam hall or even better, dumping it at home.

The things you most wanna forget.

While one batch of students have walked out of colleges armed with their degrees, another is just awaiting to begin their journey. Excitement is at its peak with competitive exams-preparation and results being on and about. EAMCET, AIEEE,BITS,VIT,IIT,NIFT... the list is endless with every possible alphabet in use! At this point, I can't but help remembering my pre-college, post-school time.

It was arguably the worst piece in my life. The complacency of school life was gone in a flash and I realised some serious stuff was going to start. I had taken a month short-term course in Eamcet and it was then that I knew why people can hate studying and why we hear of suicides prompted by poor results in exams. The pressure was on, quite tangible. You could feel it once you entered the coaching institute, sense its presence. During a maths class then, I remember staring at the board and the lecturer who was scribbling away to glory( this lecturer had a voice which made me want to scream : ). This guy spoke fast and wrote small and moved quick. That gets to you, really. After bearing hours of torturous lecture, I learned nothing whatsoever in that place, and I gave up.
And as if eamcet wasn't enough, there was BITS with a scary format of on-the-spot results. Nightmares best left forgotten ;)
After all those days of bottled-up spirit, you want to enjoy after the exams but then come the spoilers- results. Parents getting wide-eyed cause they realise all the cups of coffee they gave you during your night outs and all the extra love they showered on you because "You are working real hard, straining yourself", dindn't 'pay off'. Then, next day on, the petting stops and this is on until you land youself in a decent college.
So, after all the things we pushed through, we are here. Iare. More pushing through is what's needed! Luck to the incoming batch.

How were the exams?

Below was the open poll for us:
How well do you feel you have performed in the recent exams?
Excellent ...... really?!! - 3
Better than before-4
Not bad-8
Hmmm...When are the supplies?-7

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw 3 votes which said "Excellent" . Reminds me that we still have some studies going on inside the college ;). Keep it up guys.

For the first year buddies.

While most of us are idling away the time during hols, our first years' exams are yet to begin!
Since their term started quite late, their exams too will be commencing late i.e. from the 26th of May on.
Now guys, its the general thought that we are the most 'sober' in our first year and in consecutive semesters, you'll undergo drastic personality change ;) So, if you are nervous this time, dont worry, just put your best leg forward and go through the exams. Who knows in your upcoming sems, you'll actually miss the feeling of 'gettin scared' (though i couldn't guarantee that ;).

Here is something that could help you thru,
All in one(AIO) Does help. I know, if you are someone who depends wholly on textbooks for the exams, you'd raise your eyebrows on what i just said. But, trust me, its a smart way of winding up your preparation. Be sure to go through all the prev. years papers. Most Qs come straight out of them. The answers on the other hand can be learned from the TB, coz AIO answers suck mostly. For those desperate, AIO alone must do.
For subjects like C, skim through all units, coz they are concept-oriented.

Wish you all luck.
Chill it out take it slow, they u'll rock out the show!

Give us our Lays!

Our canteen, as we all know has the most bizzare taste for choclates and chips and other such snacks. We have got choclates which,trust me, can be found probably only in our canteen and nowhere else in the world.I mean, who has ever eaten/seen the 1 Re. choclates which are a poor imitation of diary milk. 'Bingo' must be getting all its profit from us guys, coz when we walk into the canteen, the only chips you can lay your hands on are Bingo. You got no other choice. Icecreams are pretty good, but they are the Only 'pretty good' things there, that the stock is over in a few days. So, one sunny day I cleared some of my doubts with the canteen uncle.

Self: "Uncle, Y no LAYS?? Y Bingo"?? (A good fren of mine is crazy about them, so this had to be my first Q ;)
Uncle: "Lays aithe meme balnagar velli stock teevali amma...kaani ee chips(bingo) ..vaalle college ki vacchi stock istharu."
Translation-*The lays guys don't supply it directly to the college and the canteen people havta go all the way to balnagar to replenish the stock (which we gobble down in about 2 days). *
And considering the heat and maybe fuel charges, they aren't doing it. So, option out. Understandable.Forget Lays and 'hail bingo'!

Self:" And uncle choclates we have got are either the chutku chutku ones (with really odd taste) or mars and snickers"(Which means, you either spend Re.1 or Rs.25 on any chocolate.No range int between.)
Uncle: Gives the same explanation about having to go to balnagar.

Self : "Uncle icecream stock is over since a few days. When will the icecreams come"?
Uncle: "Stock monday vasthudhi amma."(by then it was a week since icecream box was khaali. So, there you go, the stock isn't ordered according to our whims and fancies. It comes in on such-and-sucha day .Fixed mostly.)
Hands down again.
I then realised they must be having answers for all my Qs and gave up asking further :P
All this said, you wouldn' t curse the guy behind the counter soo much for not having your fav food on the menu, coz they too have their constraints. Same time i do agree, things could ofcourse get better and managed more smartly. For ex. read the convo below
(At the fruit juice counter)
Fren: Y isn't there apple juice?( long since apple juice is out of menu)
Man: aaj kal nahin laa rahen hain.
Fren: Kyun?
Man: aise hi.
Lol...what a comfortable answer! I amn't saying we can't do without 'apple juice' , but who knows what ll be compromised next! While this isn't about staging a protest against the canteen, we could do with some enlightening right?!...just so that you are prepared to take 'no' for an answer from the man behind the counter.
Now guys, if you got anymore doubts (m sure you ll have loads) go on and clear them. And yea, for any suggestions and complaints, theres a book being maintained right by the counter. Go on and fill it up :D
Happy eating.

The End!

The exams have come to an end for 2,3 and 4th years and we have got solid 40 and odd days to holiday! From the first-year nervousness to 2nd year's 'lite theesko' attitude, we have all come a long way! From 'good/okay' reviews to 'screwed up...When are the supplies?' , we have done them all. The last exam particularly is the most bothersome one. Most people get into the premature holiday mood during this exam and it takes major effort to dumb down the excitement. And, so this exam is invariably the least successful one.

For a few months now we'll all be in peace. The exam day routines-Get up from bed hurriedly, rush to the college, throw bags in the hall, scream "all the best" to friends, show the hall ticket to the 'checkers', walk up to the exam hall, wait for a Q-paper which always comes a good 15 minutes late, signal to your same-set-frens about how the paper is, borrow pencil n scale, write up as much crap as your mind could make up, catch your flying hall-ticket/Q paper, pick up your fallen pen, take numerous additionals and finally pack up n leave-they are all finally done with. Now what you do with your all-in-ones and Q papers is just a matter of imagination ;) My fren would always tear up the Q paper(sometimes borrow mine too!) into tiny bits and pieces and spray them all along the road back .Even poor ES paper wasnt spared! I guess there is a certain mad joy to ending it up your way, seeing it being destroyed while cursing the guy who set the paper!!
However the exams-good bad and ugly, holidays are meant for throwing your cares up in the air!Save your excuses and explainations for result-time. 'Cause for now, countless movies, non-stop chatting, sight kotting at Imax ;) and yea..who can forget The sleep...just go out there and do your thing.Have fun guys.
Keep visiting us and mailing. And for my first-year buddies..."All the best!"

Remeber,
- Its our IARE!

Lost in thoughts

Two more exams and we, second years are done with the externals!! Exams were bad as ever and one day batting doesn't seem to help that much.An expected of 2 months holidays seems interesting. Its happy to know that the exams are over, but at the same time it makes me depressed realizing that two years are over in a beautiful journey of my engineering life.  It also hard to digest that the real fun is no more gonna be there.

The tension of being ragged, bunking classes, making new friends, sweet crushes, few heart breaks, horrifying lab externals, the unforgettable Fresher’s party, finally falling in love with engineering life…. This is what first year is for many students out there.

Then came 2-1, feeling big, all excited, ragging, bunking, sports, some more sweet crushes and few more heart breaks ;-) , exams, preparing for one rocking Fresher’s party, few more exams,and so on. But things change a lot in 2-2 .....

The only big thing about 2-2 is the Fresher's party, organizing it, planning it and finally enjoying it to the max!!! and when the fresher's party is done....things get real slow.Bunking went down, also the overall fun factor has gone down, ppl takes sides, and it is no longer a big gang of friends but, groups of friends. People don’t find college interesting somehow. Yet the only reason that keeps them coming to college is attendance.All this only after fresher's party!!! Finally before we even realize second year is almost over there come the externals. Lab externals were irritating!! :-( of course there was this ASI educational tour where we had some fun.

Over all 2-2 hasn't been good for me....

I don’t know if this is the way everyone out there feels or it is only me who is feeling this way. But anyhow I started this post thinkin of writing about the exams and how things were for me in the exams ,but don’t know my mind just lost into thoughts about all that happened during these two years of my life in this small world called “IARE”.

Third year and ahead I hope everything goes well for us. We have some interesting things coming up ahead of us like the, starting of the CSI student chapter, the exciting educational tour, Alumni association being formed which promises to provide some technical help to students with the help of ex-students.

I hope to take active part, through this blog, in helping people get help from the ex-students, like Shravan doing his M.S at University of California Santa Barbara, have offered help and also suggested few ideas to implement it properly. Also the Alumni would give me to do something to my co-students which I consider a great opportunity.

Sorry folks for a heavy (boring) post, next post will surely rock, cos by then we’ll b done with our exams!!!

wishing you all good luck!!!





Remember -
Its our IARE

Are you searching for api doc?

Helo folks,

Now for all those people who work with JAVA , you know that api doc provides all the necessary help and information about everything present in JAVA. But sometimes getting this api doc is pretty tough and that is why I got this post for you.



Here is widget (a light weighted application) that u can download and use it on ur system. What it basically does is it provides a small search box(trust me very small 2-3 inches), in which you can search for the necessary topic, like it might be about String class... just enter String class and hit search... it'll open the SUN MICROSYSTEM official website and open the api doc directly, which if done manually takes lot of time....

of course only useful for those who really using Java and want to use it extensively.

This is the link
http://widgets.yahoo.com/widgets/classapi

and those of you who have no damn clue about what this api doc is, just try it out it'll help u a lot in writing a java program.

Crisis management!!

The external exams are on for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th years. And for the most part, we are all sailing in the same boat!! 9 in 10 of us are doing those eleventh-hour studies and are wholly dependent on our bibles-All in ones! Even those of us who haven't studied the year long pray desperately to all the gods above to take care. Well, guys, The Gods ll do their job and you should do yours!

Even with all the pressure, you could save your neck.
So, all my fellow sailors, just keep these points in mind during those last few crucial minutes before the exam.

Revise- That's a miracle worker. Learning entirely new concepts will only mess up your already filled-up brain.

Go mum- If you aren't among the revising-types, then you should as well shut-up and sit silent.

Especially, if you know yourself to be a 'nervous wreck' before the exams, then talking lots will not help lots. It only contributes to your hyperactivity. Those delicately balanced answers in your head could fall over the edges! Being slow and calm is the thing. If you are desperate, don't show it.

Fill it- Most importantly, don't go writing on an empty stomach! ( I had done that for the last exam and I had a tough time trying to silent my tummy! Gives you a feeling of being weak :( )

Knock out the bad vibes - Its as simply stated as this- being pessimistic doesn't help, so why be that way! Tell yourself, "whatever the outcome of the exam, I ll be prepared for it and not feel pissed off after completion." That way you aren't all mood-off and angry after the exam.

All this said and done, let's move to the icing on the cake. - The exam.

There are some clever and smart ways of giving an illusion that you have written your answers correctly! ;) The paper-corrector could actually be mildly fooled if you be smart in presenting you paper. Here's another list of fool-proof tatics I beleive will do you good.

Underline- Now, dont start underlining every damned word and preposition. That'll drive the correcting guy crazy. Underline genuinely important words-key words.

Write in points - When writing in points, you'd give the organised look and same time fill up the pages!

Hopefully, these tips ll get the best out of you! Good luck

Pre-exam hysterics

The one hour or so before the exam commences is the time when you can see the college atmosphere and the students in a manner rarely found.
Today(28th april) happened to be the first day of external exams for the 2nd years. Trust me, its a real sight seeing friends and their hyper-conditions. What I enjoy most is the way each friend enters the college gate and the expression each gives. Those smiles and smirks which say ''Too-bad-a-position-to-bother", those tensed up nerves, those contorted faces and sarcarstic expressions. Someone walks up crying while another is uber-cool about it .
I for one had an attack of cold-headache combo(my trademark exam sickness)!
But, noone really bothers about the other and you can be as freakish as you could ever get.
Live it out. Go nailbiting. Be hysteric. Curse.
Cheers ;)

Down the memory lane...

Hello ppl,
This's Ashwin from the Comp. Science Dept., 4th yr. Looking at the previous posts, I was really prompted to post my experiences at the college. Trust me guys, it were these 4 yrs which brought about a lot of changes in me. It were these 4 yrs which brought about a complete U-turn to my life and helped me meet some amazing ppl . It were these 4 yrs which made me realize my potential(not that ive completely realized it). I still remember the day when I came with my parents in 2004 to take a look at the college and was disappointed looking at the single building which was then under construction .Dad told me not to worry too much abt building n all and focus on studies.I went and sat inside the class which was being taken by a nervous lecturer who was probably delivering his first session. I was pretty nervous looking at the crowd around who were making incessent noise in the class much to the agony of the lecturer who was getting even more nervous. At the end of the day, I was frustrated and wanted to kick myself for choosing this college. I made up my mind that day not to discuss things abt college wid my parents and made it a point to adhere to it for full 4 yrs.But today, I realize that if not for this cllge, I would not have learnt so many things, met so many ppl who would think just like me and are ready to do anything for me, probably would not have seen a college grow so much in a short span of time.

After finishing up wid the second year,during the holidays, I was caught with this bug of finding a min-project fr myself and went from pillar to post .Not many people from my class responded positively, thanks to the fact that this wasnt part of the cirriculum. Approached a couple of faculty members, who behaved as though it was a sin to do something out of the cirriculum. But after I got back to the college, I came across people from the other section who were interested in doing a mini project too. All of us couldnt do it coz of lack of awareness. That was the first time I realized the damage caused by lack of communication amongst ourselves.

One of the major lessons I learnt out of the whole experience is, it is always the students who make up an institution and not the faculty, labs, placements etc.

If the students are good enough, the complimentaries automatically follow. The initiatives have to be taken up by the students. The fire has to come from within.If things are wrong, it is the students who should come together and try to sort it out.1 Tulasi and 1 Vissu can never make things happen. It has to be hundreds of TUlasis and Vissus coming together to make a cause happen. Its not that our college doesn't have the people who cant take initiatives. You can find them in every class, every dept. its just that they're scattered. All of them need to come together.We never got the right platform for ourselves to come together. Infact we never bothered to create such a platform for ourselves to come together.Good to see the juniors putting in efforts to come together to make a difference.

Would like to congratulate the creators of this blog for their untiring efforts in posting updates inspite of the fact that they're held up with exams. Kudos to your commitment levels guys. Keep it going. Would like to end this post wid my fav. quote:

"You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winners are done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't what you want to be because of him, or her, or anybody..."
-Rocky Balboa

Would like to see all u juniors play a crucial role in taking our cllge into the so called ivy league..


Cheers
All the best!!
