I was checking out our NITT site after along time. I was actually surprised to find a link saying “Student Conduct and Disciplinary code” in the home page. That too in the Spotlights section. I was very sure this must be some kind of joke. :) And yes, I was so true. :)

Let me list out some of the “Student Conduct and Disciplinary code”.

  • Students are expected to spend their free time in the Library/Reading Room. They shall not loiter along the verandahs or crowd in front of the offices or the Campus roads. Students should refrain from sitting on places such as parapets, stairs, footpaths etc.
  • NITT Campus is a “Smoking free and Alcohol free Campus”. Possession or consumption of narcotic drugs, tobacco, alcohol and other intoxicating substances are strictly prohibited in the Campus and Hostels.
  • Silence shall be maintained in the premises of the Institute.
  • Students are not permitted to use mobile phones in the class room, Library, Computer centre, Examination Halls, etc.
  • Students shall only use the waste bins for dispensing waste materials within the Campus including classrooms, hostels, offices, canteen and messes.

You can read the entire joke book here.

Maybe this is why they say “Rules are meant to be broken”. :P

Clueless…

The title says it all. In fact, it is so apt for this post.

I post a letter to my friend. It is lost. So simple. The letter is gone now. Simply gone. :( :( :(

There are few times when you do everything perfect and at the end fate just smiles at you and makes you forget the meaning of the word perfect. Hmmmm, this is one of those :(. I simply hate Indian Postal Service for screwing things up and myself for posting that letter.

Anyway, now I can’t do anything else. Just have to forget this.

Murphy is god. :)

As strategic as pig…

Looks like my blogs are only about animals now :P

I’m “working” as a software engineer. I joined two months back, which implies I don’t work at all and just enjoy killing time at office. I meet many new people everyday (in and outside office) and the way they talk is quite funny. One day I happen to hear a girl say to a guy,

“You are as strategic as a pig.”

The first thing I thought when I heard this was “Why pig?”. What makes a pig strategic? I’ve heard ‘as cunning as a fox’ but yeah, there is that crow and the vadaa story to prove that the fox is cunning. Is there any story to prove that a pig can be strategic? I was suprised to imagine a pig thinking of something and coming up with some sort of strategy. I can imagine a pig to be too lazy even to think, forget about coming up with a strategy. I tried googling for this clause but no useful results. Still I have no clue what makes a pig strategic.

Is that statement sarcastic? That looks more probable, though since I was there when she told this, I don’t think she was sarcastic. She actually meant it. Though I don’t know whether it is right to call an employee a pig. That is totally different argument.

Though one thing is for sure. I can never forget this clause. Have thought about this for more than 2 days with no final conclusion. :P

If anyone has been using this clause for any damn reason, do educate me more on this.

Kaakarat

This story is created by a few vetti engineering students (who are supposed to a project) and a vetti software engineer(who is supposed to work). :-) The main story is contributed by only one, but many own the copyright for this story now. OK, lets stop the intro here and begin the story.

Long ago, long long ago, there was a kaaka. It was a black one living on a black tree. So no one was able to see that kaaka. The kaakaa used to always sing as

“ka kakakka kakakka kakakka kakakka kakakka kakakka kakakka kakakka kakakka kakakka kakakka kakakka kakakka kakaka”.

One fine day, it met a kaaki[ female kaaka in our story :) ]. So started the kaaka love story. But the villain kaaka knows about this and comes with a pistol. There were bullet sounds everywhere. “DISH DISH DISH”. This time also kaaka sings “kaaakakak”. But there was a sad tome in that voice which only the other kaaka can realize. “kakakaka”.

One kaaka dies. Guess who???

Suspense. :P :P :P



































The villian kaaka die of heart attack after hearing the bullet sound. But everyone feels sorry got the villan now, coz it didn’t even eat a vaada before dying. It’s last wish was unfulfilled. So that villian kaaka becomes a ghost (rememver this is not om shanthi om remake, coz villain won’t meet kaaki this time). It’s fed up of this mere kaaka world. It likes a rat this time :). The rat too likes kaaka. Kaaka likes rat :) [love at first site!].

Now comes the song :-)
kkaaaka vin paarvai ratin paakam
kkaaaka vin paarvai ratin paakam
ratin pakkam, ratin pakkam…

Now only people realise one great thing about the villain kaaka. It was MGR’s pet! MGR kaaka. So new evolutiong called kaakarat came into being.

THE END.
