A Brief History of 3rd Semester

Its been nearly two or three months since my last post.That by itself indicates the galore of events and fests that have been happening in NITK.Basically a diarrhea of sub-standard,mass produced tosh by the college's so called Technical clubs.Continuing a long tradition,the gullible Freshmen fell for the cheap tripe. Now i wonder, how we managed to shift through all this in our freshman year. Ah yes, here is something interesting to mention about these usually drab fests. The Flagship cabaret at the Sports Complex organized by a certain techniecal club went down like a Titanic!!.

Now lets turn to the matter of the Infamous,Enigmatic and Psychotic branch called Trical.This is how trical was described by most seniors.Some say taking trical is equivalent to a Death By Choice. Only equally psychotic chaps take trical. But now that we are in trical third semester ourselves, it doesn't appear as bad as the description.It in fact has the least number of working hours and user friendly labs.Aye,the courses are such that OverHead Transmission occurs,but that apart it is actually a cool branch to be in.

Then came along the mid-sems and as usual we got screwed.The only noticeable difference is the degree with which we got screwed, amplified many times compared to last semester.

Mid-sems are like a hard fought (or hardly fought in some cases!!) battle and most people who went berserk want to "chill out".Ah,what a nice setting for yet another of those fests.
This time it was organized by yet another 'Technical' club.This time it happened to be one in which i happen to be an executive member.Fancy word, "executive". We had to organize the "lit" events of this fest and we pulled off a decent job.Meanwhile, the others organized "Fun" events at the basketball court.Its rather unfortunate(actually fortunate) that such "Fun" events dont appeal to our "naive" minds.Officially the fest was a success and we did "Get A New High"(that was the tagline by the way).

News Wagon(NW) is basically a bunch of Nitkians who with their strong vocab and masterful use of Sarcasm provide us the necessary comic relief from the monotonicity infesting the campus.This years recruits are poised to continue the same vitriolic sniping of unsuspecting victims.All is fine except for one recruit who is over-enthusiastic about his induction into NW and according to certain sources ,threatened many using his new status.His "covering" of events be it something like Spandan or as insignificant as the Grand-Dinner has become a word used commonly these days to mock other NW recruits also.No story can be picture perfect right?.And so NW has its own Black Sheep.

The above is a synopsis of all the events of significance that occurred in the last two or three months.And now, thanks to Our Father Gandhi we are busy enjoying tasty home "saapaadu" and the usual long siestas ...Happy Weekend!
