BLACK: A story so SMALL, but yet so -big-

Other than that, Mrs.Lincoln, how was the play?

Hey!Wire

What weighs 3.2 kgs, leaps to a distance of 1.5+ metres from a height of a metre and can perform the salsa on a white line ?

SHOUTS:

Kudos to the organisers of Survivor at Techfest'05

*for having continually responded (dutifully and sincerely) to our queries and cribs,
*for having given everyone a chance to prove their prowess on the actual arena; (the eleminations on the 26th & 27th),
*for the effort that they took to conduct the various rounds and selections; for helping us and other participants put up their best,
*(respect to) Ankit, one of the most spirited co-ordinators, for his FAITH in us - Hey!Wire - we did'nt even get selected in the first shortlist, but ended up with a rank of 15 and a design prize,
*for creating an atmosphere of sheer inspiration!

And thank yous to:

Our friends and their parents for providing us with so much support. To our engineer friends for their advice and lending us equipment and infrastructure. To our parents for bearing with and providing for our antics and experiments - moments which we will cherish always.

BTW: We made it to rank 15 in the Top-28 knockouts; lost to a lousy team in the knockouts (bcoz of an unlucky and untimely error) and came back home with a design prize.

It was a real pleasure to compete in Survivor/Yantriki @ Techfest '05

Placebo Writes - Unofficial Prospectus VIT

Also known as: VIT College of Engineering. You'll find that written on the official stationery - who needs an institute of technology when you can get a CoE? The hostellites insist that it stands for 'Virgins In Trouble'!

Courses offered: 9 undergrad and 3 post-grad engineering courses, MCA, ICFAI classes, and even diplomas in advanced piping and boiler technology!?!

The location: Take a detour from the Satara Highway, find Bibvewadi (good luck!), then a bus-stop, then a slum - look up - see some big buildings? Attaboy!

The Campus: The aforementioned big buildings seem to become taller by the year. Infrastructure mysteriously appears during accreditation committee visits and then mysteriously disappears. It could put stage magic to shame. We're presently facing a major parking problem - the central ground (read: dust patch) just became a big parking lot. On the plus side, the buildings are well painted and there are green lawns, and clean loos. However, there is a severe lack of dustbins on campus.

The Faculty: There is only one (official) professor in my department and he is'nt even the HOD! Everyone else is a lecturer but by and large, the instruction is good. The Computers department has a professor who's got a degree from Stanford!

The Crowd: 40% 'localites', 40% from around Pune, 15% Northies, 1% Africans, 1% Iranis 1% Vietnamese and 2% Nomadic tribes.

The Hangouts: Fight for your right to get shade or service in the canteen. Or chill out at Boat Club, a big shady tree with a concrete circular thingy around it - located in the absolute centre of the campus, no one know's how it got its name. There's nothing just outside the campus, unless you dig slums.

The X-tra currics: The major departments have a technical festival each. There is no cul-fest yet though we have a small lit-fest. We also have an intra college 'gathering' known as the dance nite, where the participants resemble people going haywire in a dust-storm. From the festivals to the college magazine, everything begins with a ‘Vishwa’. It’s like being 'world' famous in VIT!
