Oops, JNTU did it again

July 15, 2009 — syedjunaid 

Its been long since ive got down to writing up my blog, even thou lot has happned in the past few months, once thats recent which prompted me to write a post about it was,

Well, i so called Finished my engineering in May 2008, but i had one subject still pending ( 2-1’s SS ( signals and systems ). which even after my repeated attempts didnt get enuf marks to clear, even tho i had written it quite well.

i had S-S supplementary Scheduled in November-08 ( with 07 batch’s Regular Exams ) so i had lotta time to fill from May 08,  So i took up Traveling , went to Europe Middle east..etc came back to india in October. Wrote my exams well. The Guys at JNTU didn’t release the results even by December, as it was very much needed to apply to Universities for the January intake, without Degree, i couldn’t apply for Education Visa.

So we waited for 2 months to have our results . The Advance Supplementary was suppose to be scheduled in Jan ending or Mid February, as some of my m8’s had quite a number of subjects on hand, so they decided to skip some so they can put in full effort on the others, as the advance supplementary would be in January, and they could still make the March-April Intake.

But that was not the case, the university released the results in End of Jan, and also announced at the time of releasing the results that the exams which were supposed to be held in January-February-09 have been canceled to be held in May-June-09, this came as blow to many including me,  As the Retards at JNTU gave me a 11/80 in external, even when i wrote the exam perfect. In JNTU there isnt anything called * re-correction* or we cant ask for a xerox of our paper ( this rule came in March-09 ). So i had to wait till June to write my exam,

to my luck i had joined JNtU Engineering in the year 2004 so i came under the (RR) batch ( Revised Regulations ), the rules were revised so, the student can’t benefit from them.

the Earlier (NR) and Later (05),(07) batches were allowed to have 2-3 subjects as backlog and they would still be issued Degrees. Osmania University has a feature called *3point system*. if a Student has passed out from the university, he/she but has max of 3 subjects still pending they can pay an DD of INR3000 and they will be given “28 marks”, the student then can add these marks to the existing marks and he can Clear his remanning subjects in such manner. No such option in JNTU or RR batch for that matter,

The only Flexibility for RR batch which was given was, a Student will be promoted to 2nd year even if he fails in all his subjects of the 1st year by request, if he even passes in 1 subject he would be automatically promoted, and Student can have a backlog in the 1st year and still be promoted to 4th Year.

Lab=4 Credits, Theory=3 credits

For RR batch as follows

6 Credits needed to move from 1st to 2nd

56 credits needed to move from 2nd year to 3rd year

112 credits needed to move from 3rd year to 4th year

Need to Clear all subjects to be issued a Degree

————————————————–

for 05,07 [NR (2002)] as follows

12 Credits needed to move from 1st to 2nd year

42 credits needed to move from 2nd year to 3rd year- ( they r fighting to lower it too 22 )

no backlog in 1st year to move to 4th year no credit specification as per my knowledge.

can apply for degree if student has less than 3 subjects remaning

———————————————————————————-

So the rules wern’t helping me much as they held me back for 1 year for one damn subject.

In the meanwhile, i attended many interviews and got in few universities, and was issued an Conditional i20 from an French Institution, to which i had already made payments and was just waiting for the results to be released to get hold of the convocation certificate and apply for Visa.

When the results came, it was an another shock, as the system said, I was ABSENT for my Exam, and that there was no record of me writing that exam. The Results were released on 11th July at about 4am. So i was at the JNTU campus at 9am, only to find, its been closed down due to some Job Fair..etc the next day being sunday, i had to spend an awful sunday, waiting for monday, 2 other students wrote  the 2-1 exams with me, and they too were marked absent, i had to write a letter addressed to the principal, and submit it, after doing so,

I had to drive down 100km to get to JNTU university main branch, upon enquiring, they asked me to produce a form call *D* and some other forms, to prove that i had indeed attended the exam. So i had to drive back again to my university, to get the appropriate form. Which later i was denied. saying that, its an confidential form, and its not given to students, and they University will take appropriate action as this has also occurred to 50 students in the other branch of the university.

When we went back to the university to take the D form and other documents, the Exam branch in-charge started acting all moody and weird, and started asking why didn’t we come to college with dress code, trying to divert the topic, a heated argument was exchanged between my friends and the Exam Branch in-charge.

Saying this, he gave us a Minimum of 20 days, before they can get to an conclusion. more 20 days????, this additional 20 days is going to cause me a major setback, as i have to apply for visa and it takes about 40 days to be processed. Now i have to suffer for what is not mine but the universities mistake as the days arn’t sufficient for me to process my visa, as i have to be there by last week of august for Registration and application of Temp Citizen card for EU States

Now the Exams which were suppose to be done with by Mid Feb has been stretched to July and probably August causing me to apply to a another university for Jan 2010 intake, therefore making the gap of 1 Year for their mistake, if it was conducted in Jan itself i could have applied for March-April intake this year.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

update,

Well from what you can gather from above, u’ll have an idea how the university is operating which is total chaos, after the 20days passed, i went back to the university, where i was told, that i had failed in my exam with external marks as 27. because i was so certain, that i had written well, i went ahead with Control Evaluation in which the i have to do some paper work and submit forms after which the university will have to show an   Xerox of my answersheet. it had been 10 days  since they had announed my new result, so i took Control Evaluation  forms and went to the university to submit the form, on reaching there  the form was not being accepted by the system, as it said i had already passed my exam.

Now this came as a surprise to me, i was then told i got 53 in external and i can apply for trnscripts, for which i did, it came i had indeed pass with 53 in external.

i went about my work, and again i went back to uni for an 2nd set of xerox after about a month, now, in it it showed i had passed but i got 0 in SS exam mrks, ( the exm for which i was marked absent )

i have already got my original provisional memo and transcripts, i had only my subjective memo pending and Consolidated memo pending, now i have 2  transcripts with different marks and totals… its totally wierd, cus this uni sucks, now i dont knwo which memo shud i use to apply

Stop Drop and Roll – Teacher’s New Mantra

January 19, 2009 — syedjunaid

Well with the event occurring with Focus baba were continuing to escalate i had my share of problems.

As it was our Final year of Engineering, all students had to complete their projects by then. So i had done the same but, a group of us had decided that our project was really innovative and, could be used in real time applications, so we got together and combined the project to make it a worthwhile submission and submitted the application to

NAUN ( North Atlantic University Union ) and IEEE ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) we got selected in both and got invited to WSEAS (The World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society)- its an branch of IEEE.  we got invited to the annual Conference  for Automatic modeling and simulation.  During the Registration the college rejected the application for Funding the Presentation, even when they knew we would be representing India and the Universities name, they brushed it off saying, we didn’t ask u to participate so we wont pay a dime. The Fee was quite large i could only register( other partners backed-out during payment as it was over a thousand $) in WSEAS category. The news spread that, we had got selected and i will be attending and presenting the Project in the conference, at the same time, we also herd that a Professor had also got selected and she was going to present her presentation there , She was a PHD and, i didnt even finish my engineering, all the responsive letters were written by the correspondence referred to me as DR or Professor. So some teachers pointed out that, i was misleading and could land up in trouble for not even being a graduate and being an undergraduate and have many backlogs left ( 4 )makes me under-qualified to even present a presentation to the Professors who are going to attend the conference. Some suggested i re-register the project under the name of a Professor from my University, so my registration will become valid, and i could be added as a sub author or assistant..etc shit. I didn’t like the idea of a teacher hogging up all the limelight or the credit for the work, WE have worked so hard on. So i wrote back some letters to the Wseas groups about my educational status, they wrote back, they didn’t care who was presenting as long as the idea was original and innovative.

So during my Internal examinations for my final year, i was again enquired about the status, that which teachers i had selected to sponsor and register his name. Then i showed them the letter i got from the ppl in wseas. And made it clear, i would be going, and if my partners can pay up their tickets they can come too ( the project was published with their names as Co-Authors and i was the Presenter representing the group, so i didn’t hog it all up). Then after few days, i had come to college to write my supplimentary examination, some students pointed out, that some teachers were asking around about me. i didn’t pay much notice as i had an supplimentary examination the next day too. When i reached home, i noticed my cellphone ringing and it was one of my head professors on the other end. He sounded quite stern and he quoted

” Who do u think, you are, that a student like, u can participate in such Confrence’s and leave us out of it, I will write a personal letter from the University claiming that you are a fraud and you have stolen ur Project In-charge’s Idea and Concept, Which will barre u from participating in any educational conferences and blacklist you in every north american and European Universities as a fraudster, If you don’t want this to happen you must re-register this project to your Project in-charge professors name and send me a copy of the name, If you don’t do it by evening will make sure, u will never get Admission in any other educational Institutions and placements in Software companies and make sure u spend few more years in the University” < /Quote>

and he hung up,  i was  surprised and shocked, and i started to put my mind on it, i  was’nt going to give in to pressure and such threats had little effects on me, so we started to hatch a new plan some parts i may not discuss on the blog as many r serious violations, desperate times had called for desperate measures and under no circumstances i was going to give in to any pressure, SP by some retard huge butt professor.

We had an urgent meeting between our group others also received the call from the same number, but i was the only one who answered the call. So i briefed up everyone and their parts they r gonna play in the plan, So the Professor had mentioned that i must register the project to my project in-charge, i knew the guy and he didn’t really care about the conference or anything and didn’t help us a bit, in building or designing the project, but before taking the step i wanted to reconfirm if he was involved aswell, so i gave him a call, he apparently was shocked that the other professors were using his name, to get thru me, he said, he has no knowledge of such matter or call nor he wants his name included in any work he didn’t do and said he will see the matter 1st thing tomorrow morning in the college.

Now i started Phase 2 of the operation, to arm ourselves with hard evidence. everyone of us were now equipped with Call recorders , audio recorders and Video Recorders, all concealed in our clothing and we went to have a face 2 face chat with the professor who called me , to make him say all the stuff he said on the phone call earlier, so we could tape it 

My plan was to Gather the evidence, by 11 am, i had already talked with a lawyer on the matter, and i would be bringing the video and audio recordings to him, and we will lodge a complaint in court and the police station by  4 pm as the courts close at 5 pm, he can’t get a bail, and am sure he would be treated like a king inside the station  , and during the time lapse of 11 am to 4 pm, he would be having a much greater time with us and other students, and as we have filed the case we would gain immunity and he can’t lodge a return complaint , until the 1st has been resolved, And by the time the case would be dealt with, he would be stripped of his title and degree and would serve sometime in jail for threatening students, which i think was perfect for him.

As soon as we got into the room the professor we found the project in-charge sitting in his room and he said i have no interest on being included in their project as I HAVE NOT HELPED IN ANYWAY and said count me out of this mess. And he left. The professor said ok, i have nothing to say to u, do what you please.  Write ur exams well and pass out.

Well, we didn’t do anything , as the matter had solved itself, calling up the Project in-charge saved the professors skin or we were ready to strip him off his skin n title in public.

finally about the education system in india, it stinks, teachers and professors r misusing their power on students for their own benefit and will ,they take us for puppets that they can Stop, Drop or Roll us and juggle our career’s  according to their wishes. Unless we take a stand and draw a line this will keep on escalating. if he had sent that mail, our reputation had been tarnished and, we would be barred from masters education outside, india .

Sending the letters again wouldn’t have helped as its easy to loose an image but rather hard to regain it, I didn’t want to pull it further as he said, he didn’t send it yet and we didn’t him to say it all over again, as he didn’t want to talk , maybe it was a hollow threat or not, i don’t know, but if he had done it,

i was going to pay him back with intrest for Sure. 

iF it was U, what would U do

am with u bro, i would do the same

am a safe player, i would talk it out

am a wuss, i would give in

iFocus Finale — all good things come to an end

January 11, 2009 — syedjunaid |

Well after the temple incident I decide to stay clear of this dude, as I was sure, he belonged no were but ina  loony bin.

So it was during my final Year Project presentation I saw him again, well this time, his project partner was in great deal of trouble, as he wasn’t participating and he was shuttling between Bangalore and Hyderabad for the Project thingy, as quite Honestly he was fed up of his unseal Behavior and Finally lost his cool, when he failed to show up for a Diagnostic test of the System. So when the teachers arrived to evaluate the System, it wasn’t working and they went on by some weird story about, him developing a new project so, he didn’t help out on this as his earlier academic record was sound, the teachers decided to cut him some slack and gave him, average points even when the system wasn’t working.

Well after few days, our regular examinations started and fortunately Mr. Focus was being seated in my exam hall. I didn’t pay much notice, but, when I saw him dressed in a Bright Yellow T, it occurred to me, that something weird was bound to happen, and it did.

Focus baba sat down on his seat, but turned behind glaring at his bird, who acted as he didn’t exist, well I decided to get back to my paper, but the events which occurred next were very bizarre,  We have a teacher whom we refer to as Pink panther, he is a guy wiv huge butts and pants stuck up to his ass-crack, which makes him look pretty funny, But he is a hardnutt to crack, pretty much suspends any student he feels is out of the line. Well Focus baba didn’t even spare pink panther, pinky found him sitting idle in the exam hall, and questioned him, why is he acting weird; well what happened next was not something anyone expected. Mr. Focus baba Exploded at full blast at Mr. Pinky shouting * who the hell r u to ask me, it’s my exam, my wish, I can do anything I want, go mind ur business…etc* well, Pinky didn’t know how to react, but just got on the defensive side and said, sit down sit down son ur hyperventilating and asked * do u want water*..Etc and he left bit confused and Shocked.

Now Focus baba took his pen and started to scribble down on his paper, and after a while got up and handed over the paper and left. Well the teacher didn’t question him why, because she had earlier seen him lashing out at Mr. Pinky. But she showed the students, what he wrote,

IFOCUS FOCUS FOCUS

BOSS BOSS BOSS BOSS (bachelor of Social Service)

He scribbled Boss all over his paper in bold letters. Now we all were sure, he flipped his lid.

And after the exam we saw many of the teachers coming down from the other block rather amused and sniggering among themselves and when enquired, they said they were visited by a special student, Mr. Focus baba they said he offered them to work in his company, and he planned on sending the teachers for special training to Australia, and that his company had striked a deal with GOOGLE.. So they knew something was wrong with him, as he was acting all weird, when they asked him to come to the medical wing, he left.

That evening, few students went up to his house so speak to his parents about his disturbing behavior, and found his parents on the same page , they took them up to his room which was on the 3rd floor and, when they entered the room , the walls were covered to every inch with pictures of God’s ( sai-baba, ganesh.. an…..and so on). So they students found it quite Odd.

The next exam was set with a day for preparation and the next day, while driving down to college, I found two people on a speeding bike, drivin like crazy thru the small country road (the University is 30 miles from city) when I reached the Exam block I found a small crowd and, found a man who’s was trembling his hair was ruffled and he was pretty much shaken- he was the pillion rider on the crazy bike, he was Focus babe’s dad. Focus baba had come in a weird costume and did the same thing he went into the class signed the attendance register and left.

Well, it was the last day of exams for engineering so nearly the whole class went up to his house, and apparently took him to a physiatrist and he got violent there, so he was shifted to a Mental Asylum. After some therapy (shock therapy) he was released. Now is doing well. Ive hrd he passed the exam’s he left, he had a good percentage and perfect score, but what can we say, we can’t have everything in life.

Some get to know it the easy way; he got to learn it the hard way

So this was the end of Focus baba, the last I saw him or heard from him was in July 2008 until now I was updated about him Passing Engineering, which prompted me to complete the blog story about him

Now FOCUS this- Now Solar powered

January 11, 2009 — syedjunaid 

Well it’s been quite a while since I got back to Blogging, since a lot was happening around me, so it kinda kept me busy. But now I found myself Free and ready to start writing my blog again after a gap of probably 1 year.

Last I posted was about an unusual dude, who had flipped his lid and was going to any lengths to get the attention he taught he deserved.

Well after the last episode, my classes were done with so I was at home preparing for my Final exams and as well as the final year projects, So During our Pre Exam tests I was walking down the stairs were I find our Mr. ifocus, surrounded by group of boys , who seemed keen on interrogating him.

So I decided to hang around for a while: D. Well, it seems that y Focus here was offred a highpost and highpaying job by *Google* but its was a top hush hush matter. So he came that day, wiv 20-30 Boxes of Traditional sweets and Distributed among the teachers and also made a point on degrading the other students and his friends saying, they wouldn’t even dream of getting such a job as they r *mediocre* and cant think the big picture, so this got the other students jumpy so his best Friends were interrogating him about the matter as he had also abused them.

Well he was acting all weird Jumpy and finally said, he would speak, but he asked them to come to a nearby Hanuman temple. So this lot started for the Temple and I was hanging around the campus fooling around, whets when I got a call from them saying, there was something going on and it was too good to miss. So I made a point of going there. When I entered the temple I saw this bunch of guys waiting outside and the loony dude was inside chanting some mantra.

Now he comes out, and this guys say, ” ok, enough with ur shit, whts up wiv u , u gone crazy or what ” so  the next what this guy did gave me the creeps, he stood in the sun jogging and kept looking up and started to chant, the others asked what the fuk r u doing, he says, am absorbing the energy from the SUN to talk, we were Dumbstruck thinking  what the hell was wrong with him and I took some steps back just in case,  the Others started the interrogation continued , I couldn’t get most of it as it was spoken in *telugu* and am no pro at it. The conversation turned into a heated argument and there was exchange of swears and leading to a fist fight. Then he blurts out, saying ” he was joking and it’s a lie, that he ever got a job in Google, he confessed he did it for so called **girl**. So the others said, *ok u were after the chic, but why degrade US in the process he as on about, that she liked it…etc stuff, so these guys called her up and i couldn’t hear the conversation between them, but it resulted in mr Focus kickin his bike down the hill and he went off walking.

Well that was end of that; I went on to my preparation for my examinations

I am Famous, Kiss My ASS, NOW !!! — Focus baba Gets Trashed

April 9, 2008 — syedjunaid

Well, I wasnt Actually Physical Present at this one,

but when our Informants ( kaja jee ) informed me that , a battle of words turned into battle of Fists.

I made a point of comming to College today. in 11 Minutes FLAT.

But Alas , i ddint get to see Much Action, as it was claimed i Missed earlier.

From my earlier Posts u can gather , that we have a Wierdo admist us,

and this Fools Claims grow outrageous every day.

From What I gathered , its that our retard Wrote an Letter to a News paper with an

BOSS signature, and they printed the material.

And the same also Posted an Add on the paper asking for new recruitment of journalists.

So our Self Accilamed Great man, took this as an Response for his Post, Claiming they offered him a job,

So this guy got on the Podim again, and bought out the paper and showed everyone that , His Talent is being appreciated by the editors of the paper, and that he was right all along that “he is Great”.

lolzz

I didnt get it?, What did he want to say???

I AM FAMOUS , KISS MY ASS, NOW????

Well as he carried on, others got Really fedup with his Foolish talk, to they asked him to get down from the podium, and as usual he tires to overpower others , by shouting and showing authority, So, some guys finally blew it, and they beat him to pulp.

Benches were broken..etc stuff. and he walks away.

later he comes into the class again and announces that he doesn’t consider anyone a friend anymore.

Later we Check out his postings on a Orkut Community Created by him, in which he answers to himself, and the conversation is very corny, he Claims to be a mediator between jesus and us…..

Well after few days we can expect him to be a self acclaimed god.

In an Personal Profile Album, he writes ” I Am a great leader , and if my friends support me i wil be greater”

and later he changes it to smething more wierder.

The Wrath of the Focus baba

April 4, 2008 — syedjunaid

Well today was indeed an really Funni day, as our Focus baba ( kolpuru..etc shit), Finally snapped

Resulting in an heated argument with fellow class mates and it wasnt pretty.

Like i said before, our Focus baba , had been preaching for a while now,about some crap on *iFocus theme* About how he is going to save our lives and he was actually doing us a favour and Social Service.

he tends to add an Acronym after every email such as

———————————

Regards,

Anil.Kumar.Kolpuru

BOSS ( Bachleor of Social Service )

———————————–

Every one in the College knew he flipped his lid, few months ago. But no one knew the extent of the damage.

So today , Our little tarzan Monkey ( thats wht every one calls him now ), Just after the Radar Enginnering Professor had enuf of the noise and abuse thrown by the students , he had left the class, and our Monkey , automatically wet up the podium, and started preaching again…..

When every one started to resent and throw abuses at him, he got into verbal Argument with the rest of the class , demanding attention. well this verbal Argument seemed to be headed into a bull fight.

Then Suddenly he annouced that his new Avtar was indeed for a chik he was trying to impress, He wanted to show , that he was doing social service and he had every one under control….yeh rite.

Then he did some Mr bean Dance and said, Am gonna reveal the Identity of the Gurl, But “AFTER A BREAK”. and ran outta the class.

Every one were Speachless, he was acting like a total retard.

Then Suddenly He ran inside and said, ” Ive done this for Her But She Joined My Community and the Community agnaist me” and her name is “laxmi”. and he left.

Suddenly everyone started laughing as there was no laxmi in the class. or it was just a name he was using to define someone.

Either way, When he started Bullying others , one of my class guys started an Community Against him in Orkut, in which everyone posted their experiences with the FOCUS baba. Then he came to know about my Blog, and about the post about him.

Since then, the Rain of Weird Emails started. with really bad english,

and more weird comments, I deleted them mostly, then i figured , it would be a nice laugh, if i uploaded them and show others, wht kind of ass clown he is.

Then Later, many of us Spoke to him , about his behavior and how its not helping anyone, and he’s making a fool of himself by doing so. But Alas he paid no heed to our words.

Instead he was on about that we were jealous of his Success..etc n shit.

In the meanwhile the Community kept Growing and many Posts regarding his deeds and comments on others ( meanwhile the frequency of his emails also increased ).

He showed lot of displeasure towards the community, so The creator of the community and the moderators Decided , to give him a chance. So we sent him and email, asking to join the community ( Some Rules were applied on him ) and that he should create a thread titled * Questions for Anil* and he should answer any questions , asked in that thread.

After 10 days from the creation of the Thread, a Poll wil be conducted, if it favors the little monkey, the Thread would be deleted and he will get our support in promoting his iFocus theme.

Rules were set, Our monkey joined the group, but didn’t reply to a single post…..

And now the little tarzan was seen pleading ppl to unjoin the community as a last favor, lol

Dude, instead of pleading to others, u could have answered the questions on ur behavior in the community and got every one’s support aswell.

Tarzan hate mail

iFocus but uFocus?

March 24, 2008 — syedjunaid |

Focus, what is ifocus still remains a mystery as the person who is promoting the ifocus theme ( Anil ) is himself under doubt , about what is ifocus,

For days he had been bragging about ifocus, and how he wants to save our lives, by signing up for the ifocus programme, but alas none had seemed interested,

But let me tell you, this dude had gone a step further in advertising about ifocus and stuff, and has been mentally pressurising fellow calls mates into joining ifocus, and considering him as a Guru,

He goes up to the podium and gives out speeches which none seem interested to listen, instead he uses Force, to get an Audience, for long everyone has been tolerating him, for his childish acts, but enuf is enuf.

So today his regular targets ( Seshi, Ravi , Avinash) weren’t in the mood to take in more shit.As Anil is used to using Weird Phrases and Words to describe his Displeasure on others ( which he always ), called Seshi an Mediocre or something like that so the whole lot got together into corner the dude..Etc _

Field Trip To NRSA

The Site Hosting the Pictures Seems to be having server porbs ( temp)

Click on this 

Well, its been quite sme while since i came online, i was busy with whole lot of other stuff, project thingy, and sme geeky stuff to deal with,

Actually i took some time to get the pictures from Sarode;s Digicam.

Our HOD ( head of Dept ) ECE, Mr SS rao, took up the subject Satellite Communications when we were in 4-1, he had then promised us to take us to NRSA ( national Remote Image Sensing Agency), but Couldnt make the arrangement , as its difficult to get into NRSA, and Our College authories mostly concentrate on Education than Field Trips,

So, us being in 4th year we dont have many classes only during monday and tuesday, so attendence wasnt a factor for us. so it was decided that we would visit NRSA Shadabad on wednesday 12th March, So we were asked to assemble at the college Premisis at about 8 30am.

On Wednesday , i had givin my car , to my sibling as , i wouldnt be using it during the day, so i had khaja givin me a lift to College.

we were running late it was 9 30am. and all our class m8’s were makin calls n stuff, to say , that the teachers r starting, untill we saw our college Busses drive past us in the opposite direction!!, lol.

when they saw us they stopped the vehicle, and khaja had to park the vehicle some were nearby, and we got on the bus and started off.

the journey was a Fun riot. shouting , makin noise , tryin to disturb any one we could find.

they college ppl took us on a newer route to Shadanagar as the usual one was quite long and this new one would shave off 60km from the odometer.

we reached NRSA at about 12pm.

bieng this an national Research Agency, it was a Tight Security Facility and didnt allow any type of Electronic or Photographic Equipment. so No Cellphones, No camera’s ..etc.

We got in, it was quite pleasent and they got us thru an Cheeky Presentation , showing the details and activities performed by the agency.

this Agency was the Sole Reciever and controller of Satellites reguarding with Sensing and Imaging Type of Satellites.

the facitlity in balanagar is used to Process the data into viewable format, so the customer or the reciepient could use it.

we got to see live date being recieved from an Satellite and the guys at NRSA gave us and total tour of the facility, The Recieveing Dishes were really huge and were an Sight. but alas they didnt allow any cameras or Cellphones our we could have snapped some pictures of the facility.

We then started to college at 2:30.. Creating a Riot on the way aswell!!.

Aurora Srujana Annual day

Well, Yesterday was the Annual day Celebration of my college ,this time the venue was Satya Sai Nigam at ameerpet but not at the usual spot at RTC crossroads, being this my final year Engineering it would be the last time I would be attending any college function as an student.As hopefully I would be in States or Europe by the same time next year. well, the function began as usual with speeches from the chief guest and staff,

we had our principal delivering a lecture followed by and External guest lecturer and then a dude form IIT madras, who’s speech none seemed to listen to even after his repeated requests,

After the speech the above said guest lecturer then asked the audience to ask him questions, the questions were strategically followed by the alumni and staff as none of the students listened the lecture to ask any questions.

On the Dice we had our college secretary and director, our college secretary’s turn came in to deliver the speech, he cleverly pointed out that none of the students had asked questions regarding the first speech and so on…etc, then asked a student to come on to the diace to genrally outline the topic on which the guy was speaking about, which no one listned.Almost suddenly a guy from my class called “anil Kumar” decided to step in and went to the dice for his 10 mins of fame and gave out advertisements about his website he Created ( a Wiki) and urged everyone to join it, ( yeah rite).

So while were were still processing the confusion and why anil had gone on to the dice and gave out advertisements, the secretary had taken the opportunity into cornering the staff and the Principal about things they had discussed on the board room and which hadn’t been implemented (for instance and auto lighting system-for this being an engineering college the staff could make an Auto Lighting system..Etc n so on).

Well Finally it was the Prize distribution ceremony , the one every one had come to attend, this time my class had bagged in nearly all awards and the only one left out were Football and basketball ( we got runner’s Up).

So I was the one snapping the pictures and it was an task, as the total awards were bagged in by my class, the flash charging time for the Camera wasn’t fast enough to cope with the flow of Guys taking the Prize, I was in the basket ball team and I got to be on the dice too, After the Prize Distribution, it was then turn for Cultural Programs in other words, Torture programs, the part of the function we were Dreading, and boy was it a drag.Well I can’t even understand how these guys were approved as they sang like an riot, it was so god damn bad (solo Singing), and the worst part was they were enjoying themselves watching others suffer,, and during this process all the 4th years got loose and started a riot, which included human trains across the venue, shouting, trashing the place and so on. (I was part of them 2).

Then finally all got on the dice to *assist* the Solo singers and sung a song on the dice, before being taken away by security. Which was marked end of the function, after the venue was emptied our class got together and took pictures on the dice with all the prizes and stuff we won… on the whole it was a nice turn out. , every year the annual day used to be in so much security and orderly manner, but this time we shook the place up, as it was our final days in college ( probably 40days more).After getting out from the venue we then again had a photo session in the parking lot, and we stood there will we were shooed out, then we left for Green park hotel as it was the only one open at night and went to have our Dinners.

Well in green park hotel, I lost my $500 ( 22thouand) worth of shades ( Gucci), I had left it in the washroom and someone decided to take it home, well data was the only -ve point what happened yesterday, it was a big one, but what can you do, when there are thieves running around..Right now I’ve uploaded pictures that I have taken from my Phone, will upload the pictures from the Digi cam later

Navizon here to Save lives

*Click on The Album for Pictures**

Well it was on 28 Febuarary were we made a complete fool of ourselves, the day goes like this,

On 27th evening I had got a call from one of my M8’s saying that, a Job Fair was being organised at Medak Engineering College, and Most of the Guys/gurls are going there and was asked to come along, as big shots like Microsoft, Accenture…etc were going to attend.

 The Transportation was organised by the above said college authorities as Busses to Ferry the Students to the College, this being an State level Event, so we expected the transports to be overcrowded and decided to go by road. So I had SMS’ed mah Buddies to assemble at my place, at 7am, but only 1 soul turned up at 7, n that was not me.

We started our Journey at 8 30am 28th Feb 08 armed with Apple iphone’s GPRS’s GPS appoxminator (Navizon) and the same for Nokia, so we had no probability of getting lost. The name being Medak engineering College confused our Navigator (Sarode) that the Said College was in Medak, so we headed out to Medak, with half tank of Gas. We took the national Highway NH7 the Road was bad at times, but it was pretty much ok, we were averaging at 90km/hr as the road had bumps, we Fist made a stop at Yellampet for Breakfast , and headed off road after this was pretty good, we managed to maintain 135km/hr for quite some time, and reached Ramayapet clocking 107km, now according to the Google maps we had to take a right turn and go down more 30km to Reach Medak, the Road From Ramayapet to Medak was in a Very sorry state as it was only a single lane road, so he had to be half on the road and the other half on the sand, hoping we wouldn’t blow a tyre as it was easy for it to get punctured.

 After reaching Medak, when we looked around we couldn’t find the college and the surprising fact was that no one had ever heard of the college, So we had made a call to the college authorities (Medak Engineering college…etc), the guy was on about some weird directions, we ended up in circles, as there was an stature similar to that of in Siddipet were the college is originally located. After a while we got restless as it was 156km on the trip meter and we had no clue where we were exactly as the Airtel network had gone down, and the Maps and Navizon needed Internet to work, So we called up guys who started on the busses, they claimed to have reached the college* they started at 7* well before us, and we still had no clue where we were, So finally I guy said that , how could  u miss the college gate as Siddipet was relatively small, then it striked us that Siddipet was on the Other side, after a brief conversation, we realised that we had taken the name of the College in Literal sense and went ahead to Medak as it was named Medak Engineering College, So were offcource, then we started again, tracing back our steps in to medak to Ramayampet, when at Ramayampet we had Cellular signal and we were able to plot the route again to Siddipet, which needed us to travel more of 115km, so we started, the road from Ramayampet to Siddipet was Gud we were able to maintain 165-170km/hr,

During the process the Iphone’s battery had died out, and we missed the siddipet intersecction and endeded up going more miles towards karimnagar, after a while when the Iphone  Started again , wiv very little Juice, we came to know that we were again 70km off cource and were travelling in the wrong direction, so we then again turned bk to siddipet and we were running low on fuel, there were no pumps on the way, atlast at Siddipet intersection we found a pump and got the tank filled, Now we had to travel more 20km to reach the college as it was 20km from Siddipet,Finally we Reached the college, with Numb Butts- but i wasnt tried even after all the driving.

We reached the college at 1pm. I had put in my Resume in Microsoft and Accenture, I got a chance to be interviewed in Accenture, it went good, but the Microsoft interview guy, wanted all the applicants to came again the next day, for the interview and didn’t even put the Interview list, and asked us to came back tomorrow and check it, so after same fooling around we decided to leave at 5:30pm and this time we managed to take the correct route and reached home at 6:10, and it was only 98 km to the city, it would have been 196km journey

 For 98km we had travelled 379Km!

So next time , u plan on taking a road trip, be sure to plan it out thoroughly and carry instruments like GPS navigator or Navizon which is Free to download and also works with Nokia Cellular Phones and only Required Internet to be activated which is In Airtel 15rs/24hrs, which is a good deal.

I have More pictures, ill upload them as , soon as Sarode Forwards me them.

Bunch of thievs

Well I don’t even know where to begin on this one, As many of you may be familiar with the Term “Supplementary” as it becomes quite often used when ur a student of engineering.

We Write Supplementary in hope of clearing the exams which we couldn’t Clear, which can be due to whatever reasons, but one can expect is the Support from the teachers (moral or whatever), but that is not the case here, this Time I had 3 Subjects remaining and it being the final supplementary of the season so it made it even more crucial, as if the subject wasn’t cleared then it would take 6 months for the exam to be re-conducted.

well that’s all that, Coming to the college, the exam is suppose to be schedule to begin at 10 am, so most of us were there by 9am, during which we were made to run barefooted across the college grounds, as there was a new rule being forced by an JNTU external that, all students are required to remove footwear and socks before entering the examination hall, this rule was weird enough,

The External Examiner ( a woman about 22-23 yrs of age),was given every one a hard time, as she went to every bench , to every student , checked then thoroughly, she came up to every student demanded the hall ticket and ID card and verified both the pictures with the student’s face, and sometimes claimed that the student on the hall ticket is not the one writing the exam, During which she made lotta noise and created scenes on the exam hall, * shouting n stuff* , She made us empty all our pockets , dust of pants , check the hall tickets as if they were bank Notes( checking in Light), I didn’t know what she was looking for Probably the RBI Gandhi strip found in bank notes, but am sure didn’t get close to finding them. when this was done, the students became very uneasy, as the way of questioning was not proper and it also meant loss of crucial time and Most importantly Disturbing the Fine Thread of patience, We spend all night preparing for exams, if any incident of this sort occurs, we tend to forget things or are not sure about them, resulting in very poor performance.

I don’t know where she was from *external* but, u could make out she must been working in a Central jail office or summat.Well on my First exam, she decided to pick on some poor old unsuspecting Soul.

The guy had forgotten his Hall ticket amidst the tension of the exam’s, so the general procedure for misplaced hall ticket is to inform someone at the office and request and reissue of the hall ticket which is a Xerox of the original one.

So this guy had went to the office and requested for a replacement, the concerned faculty was not present there, due to unknown reasons, so instead passed on the info to the other staff, as our college does not permit anyone inside the exam hall after 10am.

He had to rush Bk to class (in this case exam hall); the reissued hall ticket is usually sent to class during the exam. So the examiner had begun checking during which she found he had no hall ticket, after that it was more like, public show, disturbing everyone, including the teachers. She withheld the paper and demanded the hall ticket, when she was told that the student had applied for reissue, she didn’t take that as an explanation, his paper was tossed around quite often across the room, and by chronological order, every member of faculty was brought in to scold or torture the guy, this went on till 12:30 which left him only 30 mins to write and 3 hr exam.i don’t know what she was trying to achieve by doing this, but it surely didn’t help anyone but her sadistic self.

The Next day, I had an exam as well, so 2day was an other guy’s turn to be emotionally n physically harassed. as usual she was doing her usual bomb scan on the students, but 2day the college teachers had not requested to remove shoes as it was causing a foul smell in the corridors, so her day started by checking shoes, pockets, wallets, pens (checking for slips of paper), bus-passes, calculators…etc and more places u wouldn’t even think, that it could be possible to smuggle materials or data..Etc.

Well she came across a guy whom she had already checked, which eventually made the guy snap, he asked her * why she was performing such unusual checks as-if they were in jail, and wasting the students time, the argument continued so on, and she bought in the office guys again, to pester the student on grounds that he was disrupting an investigation, and he might possibly have material, the scenario continued for quite some time and students left the hall in disgust, that even the college authorities didn’t support the students and were entertaining the external Examiner. Well I don’t how,

How far this attitude will carry this woman, but one should keep in mind that they were also student once. If u want to c my college copy n past the co-ordinates in Google earth (latest version recommended)” 17 23 19.91,78 36 13.84″

Cynosure

Well as u all maybe well aware of the yearly Program conducted by our college authorities, also known as Cynosure which is from theIEEE chapter,Well as many of you may plan on taking part next year, well be aware before doing so, as it has landed up many ppl in the detained list.

Even after the Assurance from the HOD and concerned lecturer’s the students were denied attendance for the classes they missed during the IEEE Cynosure Program at the time when the attendance list was put up,So dont be under false impressions dat urattendance will be added in the End as the Director had made it clear last year itself dat no attendance will be added under any program or stuff unless its and Valid Medical Reason, And the Students attendance must above 65% to be condoned without Medical Certificate and the dates mentioned in the Medical Certificate must not clash with the register for all the dates will be checked manually.

And the dates entered must bring up your attendance to 75%.Many of you may plan on going to IIT next year, make sure u have proper attendance like 85-90% before goin there as Attendance will not be added under any circumstance’s. 

This message was posted not to Stop you from takin part in other activities but to warn you and enlight you by the fact dat some people have been detained even after having no back logs and gud aggregate total.
