Well, well, well…. Last week it was all about assignments filled with clerical stuff (one of the few things I am really bad at). This week has some really good assignments…. (i) the Ad for Ad-MAD in Communication class and (ii) Market research report presentation. Luckily, I submitted all the assignments of last week on time .. pHEW!!this week it was about academically emotional upheavals.
Now let’s look at the fun angle of IBA as I had mentioned earlier. The main highlight was the Freshers’ Nite, now rechristened as “ASTRAL”. Then, we will analyze the proceedings of ONAM and Teachers’s Day.
1) ASTRAL: The buildup to ASTRAL by the seniors was pretty good. They had already stamped, trampled and blasted the “ATTITUDE” issue in most of us…(some exceptions do exist). The pressure on rule-following and attire was put to perfection. They had made everybody really hungry for the freshers’ nite to come. And then, the DAY HAD COME…
If ,for boys, it was like the end of hell…. For girls, it was like gate of heaven. But, they also made the day ,for boys, like one in Heaven. Girls were following the Insect Life Cycle, they were in the cocoon for 1-2 months, now the beautiful butterflies were out. The process of going to party starting the earlier Friday itself. Boys and girls went out to get what they call PARTYWEAR.
The resort was awesome….. and the party really rocked. We danced for 5-6 hours non-stop. The DJ was cool. I loved it… all thanx to our really gr8 seniors!
2) Teacher’s Day and ONAM: After the hectic night of ASTRAL, we were given a recovery day. But for some of us, it was the day when we practiced hard. The TEACHERS’ DAY celebrations were next day. Also due to the nerve-tingling exams of earlier week, the ONAM got postponed and got clubbed with teachers’ day celebs. But all the efforts paid off.
The celebrations of Teachers’ day went great even when all the students were cramped in the Auditorium due to rain. Teachers were very encouraging and also sporty as the skit performed was all out indirect parody on them which they loved and laughed with us. The dance performances were very good and even CEO sir and Dean shook a leg with the Bhangra group. I had a great time too with my dance and music management.
Yet, the event of the day ended up being TUG-OF-WAR. The competition was fierce. The crowd was chanting and shouting for their sections. Even the rain could not dampen the enthusiasm of the colleagues. The best match was the SENIOR V/s JUNIORS. Juniors won the match and the celebrations were jubilant.
More posts will come later… sorry for the delay PGs. Next will be a detailed survey about the Faculties at IBA and PLACES TO VISIT IN IBA.

The IBA in deep part - 1
Well it has been a long time since the last post. Only one buzz was on for the people with laptops… ASSIGNMENTS >>>> ASSIGNMENTS. But, on the eve & night of 3rd Sep (also dark morning of 4th Sep), we , the newbies at IBA were upgraded to trainees at IBA. That’s the Freshers’ Nite….. rechristened as “ASTRAL”…. A party with varieties of ooze and –oozes and oooohhh and ooooooaa!!
But first, let’s go deep in the week gone by. As expected it was a hectic week. The CR-ship was testing the patience of mine and also of those who chose me. It is sometimes amusing and most of the times irritating to find that someone whom u thought will be under our control, suddenly takes your control. At least, a large chunk of my class feels like that. The week was full of ego clashes and family soap drama.
In all this, I learnt an important lesson at IBA. “Group Assignments are the assignments that tend to approach completion but under 99% circumstances never reach it.” If the group is of 8 people then, one can find that there will always be only 3-4 people sitting and working. The levels of sincerity and attendance of the group for discussion are always on decline. Yet it is fun.
After getting the laptop and due to stay in RPG(outside hostel), for some Computer Freak like me, the IT lab becomes the home next to real home rather than the library. Let’s study some features of library with some additional details.
1) Always maintain silence (that is really frustrating to think!! Silence creates greater sense of nuisance as it always gives a sense of feeling that somebody is whispering around)
2) There is always ample amount of space to sit. (Since very few people visit this place in a day…. this place has very low footfall)
3) The luggage rack is of highest importance (In a day, even if u r not in the library, u can put ur bag or baggage there and roam around in the campus… but this should be done with caution)
4) Mobiles should be put off ( but there is always one mobile a day which rings loud enough to stir the stagnant air of the place)
Now let’s study about the IT Lab. This place is the most happening place in IBA as all the things happen here only. The place is used as workshop for all the things from Craft to Technical to Assignments. The salient features of this place are –
1) Silence never gets a chance here (By rule you should be silent in IT lab too. But, it is never followed. The noise here rejuvenates me a lot. It inspires me to work).
2) During certain hours of day, even a small ant won’t be able to find place to sit.(After 6 pm, the place turns into a market… there is always overflow demand for chairs. While walking, you should be always cautious of the hanging cords of chargers, people sitting on the floor and their beloved books and lappies)
3) Most of the electrical points are discharged… everybody with chargers move around the lab in search for a live point.
4) Orkut Zindabad…… 60% of laptops disregard of the real owners have the Orkut logged on. Some people r so much Orkutized and GTalk-ized that they scrap and chat even if they r sitting just two tables away.
Next post: The Freshers’ Nite , Onam and Teachers’ Day Celebrations… an incredible post about the fun angle of IBA. So wait and watch!!!
