Manish’s Scribble Board

Just a year back on this day, I bought this domain with the intention of having my own web presence. Am now happy to announce that am celebrating the anniversary today to mark exact one year of starting this blog too. At that time I bought it just for $1 though this time am paying some 400INR for the renewal. Now I own two domains, the other one is a Technical Blog, on which am not so active these days (not getting time).

Aside from this I am making my 100th post today to even mark the century of my blogging career. On the other blog, I havnt made much progress as far as number of posts is concerned. Hope to improve it in the future.

I just returned from Revels ‘08, the annual cultural fest of my college, I dont want to mention the quality of the shows but still I cant resist. Better any other MITian, I cant say anything much about my college. We were supposed to wear ethnic wear today as the dress code,unlike last year Revels missed the Celebrity show this time. Well, now I damn care, have hundreds of work to complete ranging from small logo designing to making mass SE projects.

Cheers….

Have you ever seen killing an ant with a gun? Or fretting hours for getting things done which could be achieved in a few hours? Yeah! We did it. It took us more than 6 hours to do something which can be done in just an hour. This is how we did it

We had to submit a project on Software Engineering paper. As a perfect engineer we recalled it near midnight. Finally the plan was made to assemble in Swap’s flat and do the needful. The work on project started at 12:30 at night. As usual we felt hungry, so swap ordered pizza, prepared lime juices, shakes etc for the well being of their friends I and Rwik put up a lot of effort to get things done. Swap was busy cooking and serving food for these two hardworking people. And Yeah! Anup was deadly busy in watching TV, youp***.com and sleeping! Finally we gave our final touch to project at 6AM. Deadly tired we pleaded swap to take out the printout. Anup got up and asked was it done? We would be a fool, if we didnt make it even overnight.

The main hurdles were avaiabilty of easy net connection at 512Kbps, swap owns 3 computers and Rwik brought his laptop. Total of 4 comps for 4 people. Now imagine what would have happened to our project? Am happy that even after so many hurdles we achieved our aim.

We had lots of fun. Locked Anup outside balcony, Rwik made a video of mine having pizza like an animal (I was too hungry). Swap is camera shy, still Rwik has all the talents to get snaps of people without their notice. Keep it up Rwik, get going!

Ever had a Birthday party inside a swimming pool? We people are fed up of birthdays in dics! So here comes something new. One of my friend Anchit had his birthday party on Saturday at WestInd Country Club which had a swimming pool which we used as a dance floor

There was no DJ from the owners of the Club but we people did all the DJing ourselves. This saved not only the costs but also gave us a chance to shout and scream at the DJ everytime we didnt like at the song. These all are part of the fun, especially Abhas had to listen to lots of screams as sometimes he was unable to handle his work. Anokh! You dedicated a song? Was it you really?
Thanks a lot to Anchit for this wonderful party and over that his excellent hospitality in treating the guests. Was feeling quite cold when we returned back to hostel. More than 100 pics have been taken from Rock’s camera + Swap’s mobile + Mrinal’s Mobile. Hope to get them ASAP. Will surely put up the previews here.

Update on 13th March: Got the pics today, here are some of them

Revels, the MIT cultural Fest is due to start on 12th of this month. This includes a lot of cultural activities like Dance, Song, Celebritie shows etc. On the other side, there are sports events at the heart of MIT. These include Basketball, Football and other such sports.

Designing the posters was a real challenge, the Sport Secretory of student council- Srinivas Kishore is from my class. He asked me to design a poster for Revels Sports, though am not a professional designer or artist. People suggested it to forward the task to one of our friends - Aavik.The outcome of his hard work has been widely appreciated, including the printing press. They found something new in it. The original PSD file is 233MB in size, its JPG file is 31MB, both of which are in resolution of 7000X5000 pixels. Imagine how huge it could be. Here am presenting the 450X332 resolution version. Hope you like it. No credits to me, thank Aavik.

Here comes the second episode of POL KHOL serials. This second one is not made by me, but give all the thanks to Rwik. His work is really applaudable and we all hope that he continues with this magnificent work

Rwik has posted two stories of POL KHOL on his blog, both relating to our beloved CR and friend- Ankur Bansal aka Rock. The two posts are:

This is How Rock Woke Up

Guess Who!

Hope you enjoy, wait for more episodes, more and more to come.

And a bit off topic. I missed out the match which was sacrificed due to sessionals paper which too didnt go well. Expecting a single digit no, maybe cross the threshold.

I am heavily inspired by sting operations and Star News Pol Khol serials. Thought why now do the same in my campus. Here is the first episode of the serial. This pic is taken from Rock’s Camera. The image is cropped to remove the sensational factor Courtsey for clicking this pic goes to Suraj.

For my Classmates and Friends: If you cant deduce out what is in the pic, then go drown yourself.

For others: If you wanna really see what it is contact me.

Quiz: You can post who is hidden in the pic. And one more rule for this- You cant post the name as it is. You also have to give a hint to that person’s name. Comments with names will be deleted.
