well...to start off with..i'd like to thank my fellow blogger for raking up sensitive issues of interbatch rivalries....makes our blog pretty political...so....in following with the alternating blog format..it's my turn now....
i choose to call it the second semester syndrome...it has affected all of us....from the top GPA holders of first sem..right down to the modest 5 pointers ( who incidentally end up ritin blogs)....neway to come to the point....
the winter semester in this university has been dull...downright depressing in fact..one loses track of his priorities...attendence doesnt matter to him nemore..he sleeps at odd hours...cant close his eyes before 4 a.m in the morning..tosses in bed for a couple of hours at least even if he tries to sleep early.....we try to rectify our biological clocks from the incessant damage we put it through..but to no avail..the weather takes its toll...its cold for half the sem and drainingly hot in March and April....dry lips... dried skin.....mess food...we seem to be killing ourselves slowly but inevitably.....i for one has been left scratching my head wonderin what im doin in this place....our ideals go for a six.......CCPing projects become a routine, copying in tests inevitable.....deadline go flying by....(see sindhu shanker's status message!!) keep getting our moots postponed...work on them for a day at max....and of course not to forget...who wants to do an internship this year? hardly a few i guess...(although it is a different matter that all of us will end up doing it nevertheless....its for our CVs afterall..another sad story..will probably talk about it in another blog).....
we have become zombies......walkin in a trance...victims of our circumstance.........
COME ON GUYS..I THINK ITS TIME WE SHAKE OFF THE COBWEBS SETTLING AROUND US.....
P.S: i decided to write this blog to put in words what i know is true for most of our batch...but i dedicate it to preeti...for she gave me the idea from her status message " is fed up"......and im also curious to know if the seniors have also gone through the same experiences....

Nice observation ... thot i cribbed abt evry single thing cribbable abt here ... but u opened my eyes 2 a whole lotta things i cud complain abt ... very grateful 2 u 4 dat !!!
And mayb u cud suggest some things v cud do or rather shud b doin 2 "shake off the cobwebs" ... makes ur observations more interesting & since u obviously arent wrkin on ur projects or anythin else u cud suggest sumthin v poor souls stuck here cud do ....
And ya thnx 4 dedicating it 2 me ... but sincerely genius cant u even get a single simple name correct ?!?!?!?
i apologise for omittin the letter "h" from yr name...i know the blog was pretty depressing..didnt expect it to turn out that way...as to what kind of cobwebs..well i have absolutely no idea..hope the seniors will help out with that one!!!
well...I agree to some extent that this sem was really screwing..but then we are here to survive in the most difficult of the situations..and moreover I do think its our fault..atleast personally speaking..I wasted a lot of time in the beginning of the sem doing nothing..becos of that we dont know anything right now..there are still people who are pretty comfortable with everything..so that says it all..moreover what are we doing right now..u writing a blog and I commenting on it..we already have no time for anything..we have tests, assignments,moots and what not..still what r we doing..whose fault is this...at the end of the day I strongly believe in one saying.."Dont Complain..either do sumthing abt it..or SHUT-UP"...so it would be better for us to stop making excuses and complaining and take it as a challenge...and WORK...and show that we can survive any and every situation..and trust me..we can do it..after all where there is a will there is a way...
whoaa!!! well said silpa...can already feel a few cobwebs receding!!! yes what you have said is true..nt too ideal or nethin...but as to us not doing nethin.. i want to ask this one question: how many of us wrote that letter that sameer bhaiyya asked us to, regarding marks for attendence and deemed for sports? he has got just two opinions...what about the rest of us?
exactly...thats the point..we dont do anything substantial..we never forget to go to city once in a week atleast but cant spare five minutes to do sumthing which is worth doing...its time or rather high time we learn to prioritise certain things...we dont do it..then we complain..its not gonna help...
Hmmm... actually for me, this sem has been a pretty eventful one in all aspects.... findin out a lot abt the life in this univ, as well as my batchmates..... actually i wud say that, even if in ur acads, ur laggin behind.. life doesnt stop u frm teachin u a few things along the way.... but i cant give any ans for the question, "hw am i gonna survive here for 4 more yrs." as it has occurred more than a couple of times to me, this sem!!!!!
@fellow blogger
wah...thanx man...but pls dont use any innuendoes...sale
dude...are u alright??...dull, depressing, losing track...gosh...dry lips, skin n copyin...wats up wid u man??
n im one guy who wants to intern dis sem, not fer cv's but fer da luv of subject!!!
dude....i somehow feel that, though some of wat u wrote is true, its not dat sad either man!!!
we went to jaisalmer, u went to osian too....we had parties....we had sports weeks...we did a lot of stuff n we did hav a lot of funn too i guess dude...where has all dat gone??....
yes we did oversleep, or we slept at da wrong timings, we did ccp stuff, da weather was also bad, but its not as sad as ur post portrays man!!!
@silpa
wah re....ur here to survive in da most difficult situations??..u trainin to be a military man or wat??
yea...its our mistake sometimes...ts da weathers, some other times, its da admins, the remainin times...so wat da fuck??..well, i jus dont get ur thing da!!! i guess u didnt get mine too, it works better dat way!!
@earthangel
so u learnt a lot abt life huh??...hehe...and believe me, i dont think im perturbed by the idea dat how i am gonna liv in dis place fer da nxt 4 years...im gonna liv like a king as i always do...why trouble urself wid such stupid ideas!!!
@fellow blogger
guys..dont exasperate me..was employing the use of poetic license and hyperbole..ever hrd of that mate?dont take my blog literally...all you guys sound like my mom to me yaar!!
ha ha ha..well..I donno about military training or sumthing..but when 99% of the entire class..to be precise all except one..gets 5 or 6 in a monthly ofcourse including urself..and before u get over that,u r given another snap and ofcourse another 5 or 6..the same situation..it is frustrating..atleast for me it is..getting a 10 out of 40..and yeah when atleast 25 people out of 40 attend classes while the rest 15 dont..its not the weather's fault..and yeah..anything happens blame the administration..good logic..nothing but an excuse..but yeah I agree with one thing..never did it occur to my mind as to how I am going to survive the next 4 years..c'mon its not that bad either...I will always look forward to being at this place for the next 4 years...
well things have started looking up. [ wrt to a certain someone n a certain someone else ] a little love wont do us all harm, I keep blahing that this is the Goddamn age , fall in love n I'm feeling older than ever.
I wish to heavens sake all of us freaks wake up monday morning n find we r in love. n that we r human. Imagine if this was one of those freaky movies like freaky friday n it actually happened.
I wish.
OHHHhh.... it is all right to be blaming one's own self and land up ina state of overwhelming self procreated shit of frustration.. lets ventilate our existence a bit... yah why refuse to agree that it is sumthing beyond the administration referred to as the system that, is of the main culpability.. oh, dont mind the english..it might b wrong as well...
Get it straight... Life definitly has messed up.. If the question arises as to if we r responsible - the answerr is only partly yes! Why partly? temme this - are we being expected to turn into zombies tryin to kip what is 'expected' out of us and totally forget that we have a 'life' of our own that demands its fair share of indulgences..
Dunno man, I support the post.. weighing the pros and cons.. i end up supporting the blog..
But i do qualify my support.. i dont wonder how i shall be spending the nxt few years here... Arre its nt only the place but also the pple here.. rather the pple here that makes this place.. they r the ones who giv me hope to go on, to think of what is coming...
asidufyaisfadfiu
to answer you all..silpa...again id like to say that we are only partly to blame..if only 5 out of a class of 40 are doin gud, then its pretty obvious that there cant be something wrong with the students..what about the teacher..what abt the administration which has decided to have classes every day for 6 days a week?...n ya vinitha..i dunno..interesting proposition..nevr thot abt that...so no comment..n pd ..well i guess we ended up with the same views....so
As the only senior commenting here, I completely agree! Heh. Been there, done that. Or in Latin, Veni Vidi Dormi.. I came, I saw, I slept! :D
Heck in the second sem, I had 30 % attendance. How I managed to graduate without losing a year is a long story.
But trust me, it gets worse!! And Better! and then WORSE! AND THEN BETTER.. AND THEN ARRRGH
You get my drift. Wait and see, wait and see..
