Freshers Speak...
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...
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
So Live, Love, toil with a will --
Place no faith in 'Tomorrow' --
For the clock may then be still.

VANGUARDS all the way...!!!
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'.
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:)

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...

Online Exams...we hate it...
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...!!!
