Today I would love to share with you guys my adventurous drive back home on my friends 110 cc Kawasaki bajaj caliber. As usual our drive started from our college parking lot. With enormous power and thanks to some craziness of my friend (Kunaal) the bike reached 100kmph in just …just ..just… 2 sec. we drifted on the curves like some movie stunt drivers and reached pragathi nagar in just 10 sec. Then in the blink of an eye a maruthi omni came into our way. Kunaal being the fastest driver after narain karthikeyan in India, tried to avoid a collision. But what to do. Fate was not on our side. We hit the car at around 300 kmph. ;-)
The car flew up in air due to the huge energy release in the collision. It went around 16 km high and hit the latest U.S ARMY test PLANE powered with NUCLEAR ENGINE. The car came into the path of the jet exhaust and exploded there. As the explosion satisfies the Newton’s X-345 law…the exhaust took a sudden turbulent form and the plane crashed into the pragathi nagar lake!!!
The nuclear material was safe in a water proof, chemical proof, explosion proof….. but it couldn’t survive the filth of the pragathi nagar lake. And soon it exploded, sorry it Imploded…(explosion is outwards..implosion is inwards….now don’t ask me how :P)… then due to this, all the water disappeared in seconds. I just couldn’t believe my eyes! All my life I always wanted to see a implosion.!!! Then as the dust cleared I could see….. the result of the disaster… all the water was gone … only barren land!!!
Now.. within minutes the NUCLEAR material soaked into the top …oops… bottommost layer of earth and caused the magma to heat up drastically…and within minutes a volcano rose up from nowhere!!
I was trying to move but due to the range of the explosion, my muscles were dead and couldn’t move. Now people were running frantically hither and thither unable to understand what just happened. All the clouds turned dark amplifying the scary look of the volcano. All the birds flocked around the volcano. Some half dead fish jumped into the volcano…. to die before anything more worse could happen(:-D). I barely moved my hand and there it was…Another huge one ..this time it was an EXplosion(all u explosion lovers this is for u…:-)) the volcano erupted with a loud sound… louder than my home theatre at full volume…..(that showroom guy challenged me that my home theatre had the best sound…I’ll sue him ;-)) as I was watching the explosion I thought it was the end of the world.... and suddenly my vision went bloack.... it was a blackout I think ..all sounds went low....all the light went dark.............and then there ....she was dancing.... to the music...kareena kapoor ..to the song in tashan...wow she is so damn gud-looking.... ...wow......Errr.... coming back to hosh..I realized what was going around me... lava flew in air like …ok forget this line…I forgot the next few words…
Yeah, next the huge lava ball….flew, as I was watching with horror…. In exactly..53 degrees to the geographical vertical line and reached maximum height at the 45.9 degree lunar horizontal…and now…look it was right above JNTU….. in 5 sec the lava ball landed on JNTU. Oh shit…(or shall I say ‘ oh YEAh’!!!) and destroyed every part of it…of course all faculty and students went for a outing to shilparamam!! So no one died!!! Only good thing is that all my exam papers got burnt to ashes and thus I survived from my failing this semester and thus I got a long vacation of a month in consolidation to the doomed JNTU.!!!!! He ha ha…
Now if you have been wondering how I escaped the collision and the implosion and the explosion….. I had a special power of foreseeing things ,they call it ‘sixth-less sense’. So I pulled my friend and jumped from the bike 3 .45 secs before the this catastrophic event occurred and reached to high ground and watched this disaster (or better I say eye treat!!!!)
now that was pretty adventurous for today…lets see (imagine) how tomorrow’s gonna be!!!!
NOTE: Any resemblance to any character living/dead /ghost and place/water body/Educational institution is purely coincidental anndd completely the result of my twisted ,wild imagination.Peace.

First it was the ASI, now its the CSI
The recent buzz in the C.S.E department is about the establishment of the student chapter under the Computer Society of India. As you all know last year we had the student chapter of the ISRO, a.k.a Astronautical Society of India (ASI) established( Errr.… they said they would establish and we even had events and tour…but… )
So I was thinking what exactly are these chapters???
Here it goes…
A Chapter of the Society is a group of members in a particular locality or city. The chapters play a major role in achieving the objectives of the Society. It has direct links with the members. These chapters are run and administered by the members i.e the Students under the supervision of the institution. Now isn’t that cool??? Now if you are wondering what is cool in that here are the pros-
- We get to learn various things which are par our academic standards. And once we are serious about it we get everything we need, thanks to the society.
- The society which remains in direct contact with the chapter provides all necessary help for the members of the chapter. Professional help can be obtained from members higher up in the society to carry out innovative projects.
- We (CSI members) get journals, with the latest updates in the related field. (commonly known as MAGAZINES!!!)
- Various events, mostly seminars, are held which help members to learn and participate and know the real world scenario of a project, interview or seminar.
- Something that many people might not know is that these societies also help the institution by providing them with sponsors for various events such as techno fests, and youth events. I don’t know if this happens directly or sponsors prefer colleges with these chapters. As they see it as a standard. ( Of course , only if the members of the chapter are promising enough and the chapter succeeds in being consistent enough over a period of time)
Now the last point holds lot of importance to people like me. I want to see some good events being held in my college, and be able to proudly say it out.
But the interest of the management has been in a different view. Its quite easy to guess what it might be, it makes thing easy for the management to get the accreditation, which in turn increases the standards, but that doesn’t necessarily mean facilities!!! Yeah standards go up and people start preferring our college. I wish standards and facilities were directly proportional!!!
And now as members and the being the possible active members we plan to make it really worth having a chapter of CSI and not being a mere seminar period stuff!!!!
(About ASISC, I love their concept of tours and wish to this is added to CSISC too!)
Wanna know something about these societies, first things first… so, to begin with, here is some techie info about the ASI first
Astronautical Society of India
The Astronautical Society of India (ASI) was set up in 1990. ASI provides and spreads technical and other information related to astronautics by conducting technical meetings, bringing out technical publications and organizing exhibitions. The society is also playing an active role to promote the interests of other developing countries in the field of astronautics through the International Astronautical Federation, Paris, in which the ASI is a voting member.
ASI has, on its roll, eminent personalities in the field of astronautics as Honorary Fellows/Fellows. A Program Council consisting of elected Honorary Fellows/Fellows with Chairman, Space Commission, as its Ex-officio Chairman, oversees the functioning of the Society. An Executive Council consisting of 9 members including the President and Vice President, Executive Secretary and Treasurer, elected by the General Body, looks after the day-to-day administration of the society.

Computer Society of India
The Computer Society of India is a body of computer professionals in India. It was started in 1965 by a handful of computer professionals and has now grown to be the national body representing computer professionals. Its membership stands at more than 30,000 in more than 60 chapters throughout India.
The Computer Society of India is a non-Profit professional meet to exchange views and information learn and share ideas. The wide spectrum of members is committed to the advancement of the theory and practice of Computer Engineering and Technology Systems, Science and Engineering, Information Processing and related Arts and Sciences. The Society also encourages and assists professionals to maintain the integrity and competence of the profession and fosters a sense of partnership amongst members. Besides the activities held at the Chapter and Student Branches, the Society also conducts periodic conferences, seminars, etc
The Chapter activities are managed by a committee of elected members headed by the Chairman. The Chairman is assisted by the Vice-Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer. The committee has eight members each one taking care of the activities relating to the divisions of the Society.

"You 'll get your attendance".
Why are there students crowding around the principal ,with pleading eyes and fat pockets, following him around everywhere he goes? -"Attendance, sir"!
The month before exams is the time when everybody is chanting 'Attendance'!
There are a few handful of students with 90+ percent -the most sincere lot(They must be sponsoring dettol if you ask me ;) ) . You could call them the Queers!
Next come the 80+ holders. They know the 'art of bunking' and at the same time avoid being placed in the not-so-pleasing previous category. Let's call them seers,with abilities to forecast and predict!
The 70-80 range is where most of our attendances fall. It is unanimously the most happening percent! Students in this category are always calculating the number of days which are 'bunk-able'! ;) .This is the most challenging job because 75 being the cut-off percent, everyone tries to push it up to a point or more above 75. They are the peers ,common people, you and me!
The last category is the 70- . The lesser said ,the better! Their attendance speaks for them! ;)
You find them in the library(read canteen), on the roads, in hospitals, at home, near the college gate and most importantly- our dear Cineplanet ! Now, will it be fair enough if i used the word beer and cheers for them? ;)
Having talked about the categories, lets move on to the deeper politics involved.
If you want attendance, close your eyes and tell yourself -"I am the teacher's pet".Then open your eyes and work towards being one! Guys-trust me, if the lecturer has a good impression on you i.e. if you put on the most freakishly sincere face in the class and be smart enough to shake your head ( as if saying, 'Oh yeah, I get it') - then your attendance is taken care of! All your friends( partners in crime) will be left to guessing.
So, dear fellow students, don't brood over attendance, just get smart and follow these tips
- Be convincingly good.
-Keep a check on your bunk:class ratio ;)
-Come back to class atleast a minute before the bell rings and Demand attendance :P
-Participate in all poosible extra-curricular activities such as sports, annual day, technofest etc...
-If you haven't been thoughful enough, keep your money ready.
-Oh yeah, I was almost forgetting....most importantly for attendance-you should actually attend classes.(once in a while!)
Cheers all!

Hmmm.....
What can I say folks. The externals are just round the corner, and being a 2nd year student. I just have 20 days. The pressure is building up in everyone. Though the only reaction you get from everyone is...." one day batting- lite le-who cares" and stuff....
You know they really don't mean that majority of the time. But there are guys out there,(just like me) who have experimented with this new concept of preparation ...
Its called the 20-20 !!! ya you saw it right. As people love the one day batting, innovative thinkers from our college have been experimenting with this new format of the GAME!!
Its really fun and doesn't kill your time ;-) and it keeps the adrenaline pumping to the max. Now thats wat we call "Playing with the exams!"
